Chapter 413: Blushing
After leaving the Ghost Gate, Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing successfully arrived at Yellow Springs Road.
Just like last year, Yellow Springs Road was full of Amaryllis, which was very beautiful but gave a sense of desolation.
This year, the two arrived in the underworld earlier than last year, so there were fewer other figures seen on this Yellow Springs Road compared to last year.
"You want to spend some hell coins, but do you know the way to acquire hell coins?"
Walking on Yellow Springs Road, Xu Meijing did not look at Yang Haoran, but looked straight ahead, taking steps as she spoke.
"No, but I imagine you must have some connections in this regard." Yang Haoran replied with a smile.
"Heh, of course, without any connections, how would I have hell coins?" Xu Meijing said.
"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you to point me in the right direction." Yang Haoran chuckled.
"The underworld sells many items that our Yang realm Underworld Envoys can use, and similarly, some of our things are also of great interest to the underworld's ghost attendants." Xu Meijing explained.
Yang Haoran's expression did not change, and from his facial expressions, it was unclear whether he knew about this or not.However, after hearing Xu Meijing's words, he still asked with a smile, "Such as?"
"Such as the talismans of the Fu Sect, demonic pills of demons, various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the demonic weapons of demon hunters, mystical artifacts of exorcists, and some ghost attendants are even very interested in zombies." Xu Meijing elaborated.
Yang Haoran did not immediately respond, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "Can these items really be used by the ghost attendants? As for the other things, I won't comment, but the demonic weapons of demon hunters, even if they get their hands on them, are just worthless scrap metal, what use would they have for them?"
Hearing this, Xu Meijing stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Yang Haoran, but her gaze was somewhat like that of looking at an idiot.
"What have you been eating recently?" Xu Meijing suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Yang Haoran gave an embarrassed smile, knowing that Xu Meijing had already activated her "scolding mode" and was about to start mocking him.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Xu Meijing spoke again.
"In my impression, you are a very shrewd person, not a fool at all, but the question you just asked is simply like that of an idiot. I'm really worried that you might have eaten something you shouldn't have, so your brain has also been affected."
Yang Haoran's embarrassed smile deepened, Xu Meijing's words had hit him right in the chest.
However, Yang Haoran was a person who never showed his emotions on his face. Even if it was a stranger saying these words to him, there would not be much change in his expression.
But when Xu Meijing said these words, he could accept them with a smile, and he would not have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart. If it was a stranger suddenly scolding him like this, even if his expression didn't change much, his thoughts might be different, and he might even play the other party to death with a smile.
"You know, I don't know as much about this as you do. Since I don't understand, I naturally have to ask humbly, right?" Yang Haoran replied embarrassedly.
Xu Meijing gave Yang Haoran a cold look, then snorted and said, "Hmph, I don't think you don't know as much as me, but that you are deliberately pretending to be ignorant in front of me, thinking I'm an idiot and can't see through your scheme? Your method is simply too clumsy. Do you think that by doing this to boost me, I'll be happy?"
Seeing Xu Meijing's serious expression at this moment, Yang Haoran suddenly felt a scorching heat on his face, and to his surprise, he blushed!
Yang Haoran's blushing did not cause the slightest change in Xu Meijing's facial expression, her expression remained serious, and there was even a hint of disgust in her gaze.
"I'll tell you, this makes me... haha, happy, look at your expression now, it's so interesting."
Towards the end, Xu Meijing couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she was swaying back and forth.
The reason Xu Meijing had such a strong reaction was mainly because Yang Haoran's expression at this moment was simply too brilliant - stupid and dazed, with a completely flushed face, not like a deep-scheming old fox at all, but more like a young man just falling in love.
Xu Meijing could feel that this was Yang Haoran's most genuine reaction, not something he was deliberately putting on, so she laughed so happily.
If those who are familiar with Yang Haoran's personality were to see him in this state, they might think they had recognized the wrong person, because in their impression, Yang Haoran is a deep-scheming old fox, how could such a calculating person show an expression like a young man in love, and even blush.
Seeing Xu Meijing laugh so happily, Yang Haoran also felt relieved, but his face had become even redder, as if it was about to bleed.
Xu Meijing laughed for a while before stopping, and although not as exaggerated as before, she still had a smile on her face.
Still smiling, she started walking again, with Yang Haoran following awkwardly by her side.
"Whether you really don't know or are just pretending, I'll still explain it to you, haha."
Saying this, Xu Meijing couldn't help but laugh out loud again. After taking a deep breath and stabilizing her emotions, she continued, "Just because some ghost attendants don't need certain treasures doesn't mean others can't use them. They can exchange the items they need with others. Moreover, the stores in the underworld are not only run by the underworld's ghost attendants, but some are also run by the Underworld Envoys from the mortal realm. Some items that the underworld's ghost attendants find difficult to handle can be processed by the Underworld Envoys from the mortal realm."
Yang Haoran felt his cheeks were not as hot anymore, and the redness on his face was also slowly fading, although he still looked a bit red.
"So, you mean that as long as we have some things, preferably things that are useless to us, and find the corresponding window to exchange them, we can obtain hell coins, right?" Yang Haoran asked with a slightly awkward smile.
Xu Meijing didn't dwell on whether Yang Haoran was pretending or truly didn't know, and she nodded with a smile, responding, "That's right. However, the most useful currency in this underworld is pure yin qi, as all the Underworld Envoys in the Yin Division, including the underworld's ghost attendants, need pure yin qi to enhance their strength. If you have soul pills, it would be even easier to obtain hell coins, as I haven't heard of any store in the underworld that doesn't accept pure yin qi."
"I suppose not many Underworld Envoys would be willing to exchange hell coins for pure yin qi, since they all treasure it so much," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
Xu Meijing nodded and said, "That's true, but there might still be some Underworld Envoys who are in urgent need of hell coins and have nothing else to exchange, so they might reluctantly part with their pure yin qi. You can think about what you have that you don't need but is still valuable, and I'll take you to a store where you can exchange it for hell coins. Of course, the other party has to be willing to accept what you offer."
Yang Haoran nodded, and his mind began to recall what items he had in his independent space that might be worth exchanging.
Without realizing it, they had walked across Yellow Springs Road and reached Naihe Bridge. However, this time, they did not find Meng Po at the stone pavilion on the bridge. Instead, there was a female ghost attendant guarding the pavilion, but she was not Meng Po.
Although this ghost attendant was not Meng Po, the powerful aura she emanated was quite formidable, but it was unclear whether it was the full extent of her power or just a portion of it.
Her presence was to guard Naihe Bridge and prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the underworld.
Since she was not a Guardian, in the eyes of Yang Haoran and the Burial Masters, she was on the same level as them, or even lower in status than some ghost attendants.
Being on the same level, there was no need for them to greet her, so they simply passed through the stone pavilion.
The woman, sensing the Yin spirit power radiating from the two, did not stop them from passing.
After crossing Naihe Bridge, they once again entered the unique world of the underworld, a year after their previous visit.
