Midnight.
Fa Hai’s stall.
By now, there were hardly any custors.
The cook smoked in the back kitchen, while the boss went out to play mahjong.
Only the waitress, Little Sister, guarded the shop, hiding behind the counter to chat with her bestie.
She typed rapidly:
"Today two super handso guys ca to the shop, wanna see?"
The reply ca imdiately: "Of course I wanna see!"
Little Sister quietly lifted her phone, aiming it at where Wu Xiaode and Xiao Baihong were sitting.
She was taken aback.
Because on the screen, apart from those two handso guys, there was also a beautiful girl.
An exceptionally beautiful girl.
The girl seed to notice she was being photographed, turned her head, and smiled at the cara.
Little Sister felt her heart pounding nonstop.
Oh my god!
I’m a woman too, so why do I feel like I’m falling for her?
Little Sister hastily put away her phone.
What she didn’t notice was—
The ssage wasn’t sent; it was deleted outright.
Inside the palace.
The Emperor sat on his throne with his leg crossed, took a sip of milk tea, and said to himself contentedly:
"Good material, I’ll take it."
In the future, if Wu Xiaode dared to upset him, he would send Xia Huilan a dynamic picture of him taking other girls out for late-night snacks.
Tsk.
Perfect.
Back in the stall.
Xiao Baihong pulled out a cigarette and was about to light it.
"Don’t smoke, it’s bad for your health. Be careful or you’ll turn into a Skull Party mber after you die."
Wu Xiaode spoke while eating.
"Really? Will smoking turn you into a skeleton in the Undead World after you die?" Xiao Baihong asked with interest.
"No, those who mix in the underworld will turn into skeletons, smoking just accelerates death," Wu Xiaode said.
Xiao Baihong lit the cigarette and took a drag:
"When I go over there, rember to look after ."
Wu Xiaode suddenly rembered Rotten Bone.
That kid—
No, that skeleton, he wondered how he was doing now.
Anyway.
First, to deal with the assassins.
Once things here concluded, he had to imdiately undergo the Death God Trial.
The stall’s door suddenly opened.
A few husky n with an evaluating gaze walked in.
The waitress, Little Sister, was startled.
—Why were all the visitors tonight such odd characters?
"Welco, what would you like to have?"
She quickly stood up from behind the counter and asked.
The husky n imdiately spotted Wu Xiaode and then Xiao Baihong.
— Christina was facing away from them, so they didn’t see her at first, just the powerful and forceful characters behind her that read "Pursue Reality, Innovation, Exploration, and Progress."
"There’s a murderous air," Xiao Baihong said with a smile.
"Killing them is easy, but I want to ask them sothing," Wu Xiaode said, holding a slice of lotus root, looking sowhat conflicted.
Upon hearing this, Christina turned her head and looked towards the n at the door.
The n had just pulled out guns.
Then they saw Christina’s face.
"Hey, co here,"
Christina beckoned the n with her hand.
The n were montarily stunned but walked towards her and stopped in front of her.
"Ugh, it’s so troubleso when you’re that tall, kneel down when you talk to ," Christina said coyly.
The n obediently knelt down.
Xiao Baihong found it amusing and said, "Using 1 point of Soul Power already, huh?"
"To deal with mortals I need Soul Power? Then I wouldn’t need to be an Enchanting Demon," Christina said, lifting her arm and brushing her long hair in front of her chest to her back.
She looked at the fierce-looking husky n with a smile and asked, "You here to kill Wu Xiaode?"
The n nodded together.
"What’s the paynt?" Christina asked.
"Cultivation techniques."
"Immortal Pill."
"The Skill of Flying."
"The Moving Mountains and Seas Skill."
The husky n hurriedly spoke out, fearing that speaking slowly might displease Christina.
"Do they need to be killed?" Christina asked.
"These ordinary people..." Wu Xiaode shook his head, finding it too dull to kill these mortals.
Christina nodded, then smiled at the n and said:
"Wait for my big brother to make up his mind; just kneel there and don’t move for now."
The n obediently knelt there without moving.
The waitress, Little Sister, was dumbfounded.
Who am I?
What’s the situation here?
Wu Xiaode noticed her, scratched his head, stood up, and greeted her with a smile:
"Sorry, we were just making use of your place for a little drama—"
"I am an artist from the Imperial Martial Art Entertainnt Company, Wu Xiaode. I hope I didn’t scare you earlier."
He opened his phone and showed her the live video he had recorded.
The waitress looked a few tis before she slowly ca back to her senses.
"So it was a rehearsal, you scared to death, I thought I had seen a ghost," she exhaled.
"Sorry about that," Wu Xiaode said.
"No problem, as long as it’s not really seeing a ghost," the waitress waved her hand.
Wu Xiaode walked back with his smartphone.
"Brother Wu," Christina suddenly spoke up.
"What is it?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Could you buy a smartphone? I want to understand your world," a hint of longing flashed in Christina’s eyes.
"Sure— but it’s so late—"
Just as Wu Xiaode was speaking, a commanding voice suddenly rang from his smartphone:
"Beep!"
"I’ll pay this bill."
"Your package is on its way, please wait for five minutes."
Wu Xiaode was sowhat speechless.
So, an emperor of a great empire, you actually eavesdrop on chatting with an Enchanting Demon in the middle of the night?
— And even pretend to be a system voice?
Forget it.
Since you are paying, I won’t make a fuss over this.
But it’s ti for myself to complete the Death Trial so that Christina can have access to the Holy Walk Wall!
Wu Xiaode put down his chopsticks, and Christina imdiately took a napkin from the table and handed it to him.
He wiped his mouth and stood up, saying:
"I’m going to complete a trial, I’ll be right back."
"Go ahead, I’ll eat a bit more," Xiao Baihong said without looking up.
"What about , Brother Wu? Shall I accompany you?" Christina asked.
"You stay here—soone will bring a new smartphone soon, try using it, and I’ll co back to find you guys after the trial," Wu Xiaode arranged.
"Ok," Christina said.
Wu Xiaode made sure everything was arranged and with a thought,
The Book of the Dead imdiately opened.
The pages turned on their own, stopping at the page titled "Original Death Trial Ritual."
"Activate!"
Wu Xiaode said.
In an instant, lines of ice crystal text erged on the pages:
"You have obtained a total of five pages from the Book of Dark Seal, which is an extrely important dividing line."
"You are eligible for the legitimate Death God Trial."
"Starting now!"
After a mont’s pause,
All the text disappeared, and a new prompt rune appeared:
"The current trial task has been issued."
"Death God Trial:"
"Your dignity."
"Task description: You are caught in the midst of a massive whirlpool of ti, with countless enemies who want you dead. As an agent of the Death God, this is sothing that undermines your dignity."
"Eliminate all the enemies in this world and showcase your power with their lives."
"Task objective: You and your followers must kill those with ill intentions and their true enemies behind them, demonstrating your dignity to the world."
"Ti limit: 24 hours."
"Success in the trial will grant you a Death God Inheritance and complete the ascent with the Death Law."
"Failure ans losing the qualification to inherit the Death God legacy forever."
"Start timing!"
Wu Xiaode was stunned.
What?
I can undergo the trial without going to the Death World this ti?
Reaping lives...
Speaking of which, that is indeed one of the duties of the Death God.
Wu Xiaode slowly resud his seat.
"Huh? Weren’t you going to complete the Death Trial?" Xiao Baihong asked, surprised.
Christina blinked curiously too.
She had been ready to follow him as soon as he left for the Undead World, shalessly sticking to him.
After all, Brother Wu was the best; he never scolded or hit anyone, and there was nothing of the sort of punishnt.
But he didn’t go.
"This trial is a bit different, it takes place in our world,"
Wu Xiaode read out the task to the two of them.
Xiao Baihong took a bite of brain and said squinting, "This task has three points."
"The first one, kill those with ill intentions," Wu Xiaode said.
"Right, that refers to people coming to kill you, assassins, they are the ones with ill intentions," Xiao Baihong said.
Hearing this, Christina turned and said to the assassins kneeling on the ground:
"Everyone, please go find a river and jump in."
She stuck out her tongue, making a cute face, "Rember, don’t co up from the water, if you do, I’ll be angry, okay?"
"Yes."
They stood up and walked towards the door, vanishing after a while.
"What is the second point?" asked Christina.
"..." Wu Xiaode.
"..." Xiao Baihong.
"Killing those behind it all, that ans killing the immortals of this world."
"What about the third point?"
"Show your dignity to the world—that probably ans letting the entire world know about it."
"I see," Christina said.
The waitress behind the counter rembered the scene quietly.
These people kill in such a bizarre way.
They must be filming a ghost film.
Will they beco famous?
