Ch 156: You’ve Got To Be Kidding Me

The driver who almost got scammed with a fake accident exclaimed gratefully, “Thanks, buddies, I’ll give you a thumbs up!”

The young man grinned, showing his pearly whites. “No problem, no problem.”

The driver spat in the direction of the old man and quickly drove away.

Shen Zhiyin and Jun Yuan stood in the distance, openly laughing.

“Hahahaha…Serves him right!”

Jun Yuan’s face showed little laughter, but a smile flickered in his eyes.

Shen Zhiyin said goodbye to Jun Yuan as she was going to the Special Management Bureau.

Jun Yuan: “Or, shall I give you a ride?”

He pointed to his black electric scooter.

Shen Zhiyin glanced at it; she had already eaten, so it was fine.

However, on the way, she bought two candied hawthorns, handing one to Jun Yuan.

“Try it. There are a lot of delicious things now. I ate a lot of milk tea and crayfish on my way here…”

Shen Zhiyin sat on the back of the electric scooter, munching on food and chattering incessantly.

Although Jun Yuan only bought the electric scooter today, his driving skills were excellent.

He could drive very well with one hand.

He even made the little electric scooter feel like a luxury car.

It’s just that…Shen Zhiyin felt that his long legs were a little cramped on the footboard.

She glanced at the black umbrella Jun Yuan was holding for her. The umbrella surface had Ghost Flower patterns.

She hadn’t noticed before, but those Ghost Flowers weren’t painted on; they looked embroidered.

At a glance, she knew this black umbrella wasn’t ordinary; it must be a powerful magical artifact.

After arriving at their destination, Shen Zhiyin returned the umbrella to him.

“This is it. Thank you very much. Goodbye.”

After bidding farewell to Jun Yuan, Shen Zhiyin skipped happily towards the government office building ahead.

Snow had begun to fall; Jun Yuan held his umbrella, watching her small figure grow smaller and smaller in the snowy curtain.

He retracted his gaze; the person under the umbrella had transformed into a figure with long black hair and robes.

His electric scooter disappeared; Jun Yuan’s slender figure walked slowly through the white snowfield.

As he walked, crimson Ghost Flowers bloomed subtly under his feet, but soon, both he and the flowers vanished.

In the Ghost Flower sea of the Underworld, Jun Yuan’s appearance immediately drew the attention of many ghosts.

Even though he deliberately suppressed his aura, the Underworld was sustained by his energy, intrinsically linked to him. Any ghost in the Underworld would instinctively kneel upon seeing him.

Wherever Jun Yuan passed, the Ghost Flowers swayed, blooming more vibrantly, and the ghosts prostrated themselves en masse.

However, he didn’t look at those ghosts; he went to find the Yanluo King.

He was seeking money from the Yan Wang and wanted to understand the current rules of the Human Realm to avoid being tricked again.

“Money from the Human Realm?”

The Yanluo King wiped the cold sweat from his body. “Celestial Emperor, you left too quickly last time; I forgot about that.”

“Also, Celestial Emperor, to live in the Human Realm, you need an ID card. Should I get you a house in the Human Realm? However, no one from the Underworld resides in the Human Realm, so the money isn’t much. I can’t help with that, but we can exchange some things with human cultivators.”

Jun Yuan pondered this, remembering Shen Zhiyin’s mumbled words earlier, and went to his Treasury.

If anyone were present, they would be dazzled by his Treasury—various jewels and gold, even fist-sized pearls, were carelessly strewn on the ground. Jun Yuan didn’t even glance at them, stepping right over them.

With a wave of his hand, he selected a luxurious bracelet, neither jade nor not-jade, from a pile of treasures.

He held the bracelet, lowering his gaze at the table. “She should like this, right?”

…………

On Shen Zhiyin’s side, Qin Zhen had been waiting for her.

Seeing her finally arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief, scampering over with Elder Rat.

“Little Ancestor, you’re finally here! I thought something had happened on the way.”

Shen Zhiyin: “Something did happen, but it’s resolved. Let’s go.”

Qin Zhen took her in an elevator to the top floor, then another more secluded elevator down to the underground level.

He explained, “The elevator to the Special Management Bureau is only here on the top floor.”

However, there’s more than one entrance to the Special Management Bureau, and this isn’t the headquarters.

The reason it’s underground is mainly because their work is special, and it’s not convenient to interact with too many people.

The underground base is huge; they can even build high-speed rail stations underground now, let alone an underground base.

Entry requires iris and password authentication.

The lights here are on 24/7, so it’s very bright.

Qin Zhen took Shen Zhiyin directly to find Tang Si.

Tang Si was leading the team members in training.

Upon seeing Shen Zhiyin, a smile appeared on his face.

“Comrade Shen Zhiyin, you’re here.”

His expression caused the team members, who were sweating profusely from training, to nearly drop their jaws.

Captain Tang, usually followed a cool route; he was very serious with them, and his lips never curved into a smile.

Now he was smiling like that; could that young girl be his daughter?

Even during training, many couldn’t help but crane their necks to peek.

Unfortunately, their conversation was too quiet to hear.

“What’s going on? Who is that?”

“Could it be Captain Tang’s daughter? Considering her age, it’s possible.”

“No way!”

A team member who had participated in the Flying Corpse mission last time was squatting in the gravity room, his neck veins bulging and his body covered in sweat.

“That’s…that’s our Teacher.”

Others: “!!!”

What kind of joke is that?!
