Chapter 44: The Protagonist Dies

At this moment, Taibai Jinxing took out an imperial edict and said, “Princess Your Highness, Your Majesty pities you for suffering in the mortal realm and has specially granted you incense at White Tiger Ridge. You are permitted to have a temple built for you in the mortal world, to be called the White Bone Lady.”

Bai Fu Ren took the edict bestowed by the Jade Emperor, knelt down, and bowed, “Thank you, Father Emperor!”

She turned her head to look at Bai Ze, “This is good, if I were to ascend to heaven now, my child wouldn’t be able to go with me.”

“If my child is not among the ranks of the immortals, I will not ascend to heaven.”

At this time, Bai Ze ran over and tugged at Taibai Jinxing’s robe, “Old man, old man, look how cute I am, did you not bring me any gifts when you came?”

Being called an old man and having his robe pulled, Taibai Jinxing’s face turned green, but he still had to force a smile,

He couldn’t afford to offend this child’s current status.

At this moment, Taibai Jinxing took out a jade box, which was the Nine Netherworld Fire that the Jade Emperor had asked him to bring.

“Look at what this is?”

Taibai Jinxing opened the jade box, inside was a small wisp of fiercely burning black flame. Bai Ze only glanced at it, and his whole body spun, as if he was about to be swallowed by the black fire, as if falling into the Nine Netherworld Hell.

Taibai Jinxing said, “Your Majesty knows that you are a demon spirit formed from the Three Corpses, so he has specially bestowed this Nine Netherworld Fire. As long as you mark it with your imprint, it will obey your commands afterward.”

Bai Ze curiously asked, “Is this Nine Netherworld Fire very powerful?”

Taibai Jinxing said, “It is extremely powerful. The Nine Netherworld Fire and the Samadhi True Fire are the two strongest flames in the Three Realms.

The Samadhi True Fire belongs to Yang, while this Nine Netherworld Fire belongs to Yin, which is perfect for a White Bone Spirit like you.”

“Is that how it is?”

Although Bai Ze had never heard of the Nine Netherworld Fire, he had heard of the Samadhi True Fire. Wasn’t the Great Sage Equal to Heaven the one who controlled the Samadhi True Fire?

The reason why he was thrown into Taishang Laojun’s alchemy furnace and burned for a full forty-nine days without any harm was because he had the Samadhi True Fire protecting his body.

As a result, he was burned with a Fiery Eyes.

Since the Nine Netherworld Fire is as famous as the Samadhi True Fire, it must not be bad.

“Your maternal grandfather is quite generous, actually giving the Nine Netherworld Fire as a gift. This is the symbol of the Netherworld’s supreme being.” Ying Lao’s voice came from Bai Ze’s mind.

Bai Ze said, “Is this Nine Netherworld Fire very useful?”

Ying Lao said, “The Nine Netherworld Fire is very strange and powerful, and it can also combine with the corpse demon’s Ghost Fire Skeletons.

Once you advance to Demon King, you will be able to control the Ghost Fire Skeletons, and at that time, the Nine Netherworld Fire will become even more powerful.

In addition, with this Nine Netherworld Fire, you can freely enter and exit the Nine Netherworld Underworld.

In the future, you can also go to the Fengdu Ghost Market. It is the largest illegal trading market in the Three Realms. You might be able to find all kinds of things that cannot be bought openly there.”

“I can enter and exit the Underworld?”

Bai Ze was a little surprised. It seemed that this Nine Netherworld Fire was quite useful.

What surprised Bai Ze even more was that there was actually a place like the Fengdu Ghost Market within the Three Realms.

“Hehe!”

Bai Ze treasured the Nine Netherworld Fire and put it away, then continued to smile at Taibai Jinxing, who was getting goosebumps from the look.

Bai Ze said, “That was a gift from my maternal grandfather, what about you, what about you, what is your gift?”

Taibai Jinxing: “……”

The usually refined Taibai Jinxing now had the urge to curse.

Whose mischievous child is this?

He comes up and asks for gifts?

But for Bai Ze, it was not easy to encounter a High Immortal from the Heavenly Realm, and he could also use the Jade Emperor’s name as a cover, so why not take advantage of the situation?

“This old man has thirty Spirit Nourishing Pills, which contain a large amount of spiritual energy.

There are also three Peaches of Immortality, which can help you shed your mortal body and extend your life.

And ten Blood Cleansing Pills, which can cleanse your meridians and smooth your channels.

These are all treasures, I have been accumulating them for a long time, little child, don’t eat them like candy.”

A large pile of pills appeared in front of Bai Ze, as well as three Peaches of Immortality.

Bai Ze’s eyes lit up.

The demons of White Tiger Ridge did not know how to refine pills, they consumed heavenly materials and earthly treasures directly. This was the first time he had seen pills.

Bai Ze picked up a Blood Cleansing Pill, put it in his mouth, and chewed it. It was crunchy and a little sweet.

Sure enough, several of his previously blocked meridians were now like open highways, and the spirit evil qi flowed through them smoothly and unhindered.

◈◈◈

He casually took another one, and another one.

Taibai Jinxing felt a pang of anger. He himself was reluctant to eat even one Blood Cleansing Pill, and this child was actually eating them like candy.

What a sin!

At this time, Bai Ze handed the largest Peach of Immortality to Bai Fu Ren, “Mother, eat the Peach of Immortality.”

Bai Fu Ren felt sweet in her heart and declined, “Mother won’t eat, you eat it.”

“Mother, eat it, anyway, it’s this old man’s, we’ll ask him for more when we finish it.” Bai Ze said.

Taibai Jinxing immediately exploded, “I don’t have any more, that’s all, don’t ask me for more.”

Bai Ze said, “Alright, alright, it’s okay if you don’t have any, there are other old men, I’ll ask the other old men.”

Taibai Jinxing: “……”

He mourned for his old friends for three minutes. This child would definitely do it in the future. It seemed that the old guys in the Heavenly Realm were going to suffer.

Bai Fu Ren was so amused by her child that she bent over laughing. She took the Peach of Immortality and took a bite. It was indeed sweet and had great benefits for the body.

However, she felt that her child was sweeter than this Peach of Immortality.

Oh well, there’s no way around it!

Her child was the apple of her eye!

While Bai Ze was gnawing on the Peach of Immortality, he stretched out his hand, “Give me another Universe Bag, I don’t have a bag to put things in!”

Bai Ze continued to take advantage of the situation. Although Cai Yun brought a Universe Bag, his mother wanted to use that one, so he decided to get one from Taibai Jinxing.

Taibai Jinxing frowned and said, “I don’t have a large Universe Bag, I only have a three-foot one.”

“Three feet is fine, fine.”

Bai Ze jumped for joy and reached for it. Taibai Jinxing was very reluctant, but the small bag was still snatched away by Bai Ze’s little hand.

It was really inconvenient for Bai Ze to use cloth to wrap things usually.

The five Saintly Treasures from the Lotus Cave on Pingding Mountain were still out of reach for now. Having a three-foot Universe Bag would do for the time being.

At least important items could be stored.

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving.”

Taibai Jinxing fled in a hurry. He was so depressed after being taken advantage of several times that he vowed he would never come again in his life.

Looking at the old man fleeing in a hurry, Bai Ze felt amused.

At this time, he congratulated his mother, “Congratulations, Mother, on obtaining the incense of White Tiger Ridge.”

“This is all thanks to my son’s efforts.” Bai Fu Ren said with a smile.

Suddenly, Bai Ze spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling an unbearable pain all over his body. With a ‘boom,’ his entire body’s bones and flesh shattered, and blood stained the sky.

“Baby!” Bai Fu Ren was shocked.

“Young Master!” Cai Yun was shocked.

This change happened too quickly, and for a moment, both of them were unable to react, and they were stunned in place for a long time.

After a long while, Cai Yun, who had regained her senses, rode on the colored clouds and flew around to check where the enemy was.

And Bai Fu Ren’s eyes flashed with crimson lightning, her slender hands turned into ferocious white bone claws, and her hair and clothes flew wildly. She instantly fell into a state of madness.

“Who is it? Who killed my child?”

Bai Fu Ren roared to the sky. If anyone dared to harm her child, she would fight them to the end, no matter how long it took, no matter where in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The mad state of Bai Fu Ren made all the creatures, big and small, at White Tiger Ridge tremble.

On this side, Bai Ze looked at Ying Lao in the Hong Gou with a bewildered expression, “Teacher, I actually died. The main thing is, I didn’t see the person who harmed me. Do you know who it was?”
