827 Exchange Your Sister (1/2)
High waves furiously rose on the Yellow Spring River.
It seemed the Yellow Spring Great Sage's anger had boiled up the entire Yellow Spring River. The river water rose loudly.
The Netherworld Ship sailed across the waves, breaking past the blood river water, moving fast.
Bu Fang and Nethery stood on the Netherworld Ship's deck. The wind howled, blowing their hair.
In the distance, the blood mist approached. The Netherworld Ship became a black dot moving fast, penetrating the blood mist.
Rumble! Rumble!
The river water hit the ship, shaking it.
Lord Dog and the Nether King caught up with them shortly, falling on the deck. Nether King Er Ha flipped his hair. Covering one side of his face, he leaned against the deck, laughing continuously.
He felt happy watching the Yellow Spring Great Sage teach those two stony morons a lesson.
Because of those two stony morons, he had eaten bitter fruits. Whenever he snuck in there to steal the Reincarnation Fruits, he was always caught, and in turn, the Yellow Spring Great Sage had chased after him to kick his butt. With that pathetic appearance, he had become a laughingstock in the entire Earth Prison.
And now, since the two stony blockheads got beaten up, the Nether King was secretly happy.
When Lord Dog landed on the Netherworld Ship, he glanced indifferently at Bu Fang as he asked, ”Did you get the Yellow Spring Grass?”
Bu Fang gave him a slight nod. Although they were busted, they got a one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass. At least, they didn't bear a loss on this trip.
”Only a single piece of one-leaf Yellow Spring Grass?” Lord Dog's charismatic voice continued asking.
”Yeah...”
Bu Fang frowned, looking at Lord Dog. Didn't that lazy dog say he could only take one? Did he change his mind now?
”Are you stupid or what?! Since you were busted, why didn't you take more? It would make your journey to the Earth Prison more worthwhile!”
Bu Fang's face didn't change. Looking at the dog, he was speechless.
Nether King Er Ha came closer to him, still sucking a Spicy Strip. ”I agree with the mangy dog. You got busted anyway, so you should have taken all the spirit herbs at the source of the river… You should have uprooted the Reincarnation Fruit Tree. I'm telling you… The Reincarnation Fruit is the true delicacy in this world…”
Bu Fang looked at the one person and one dog that were inciting him to steal more, his mouth convulsing.
What kind of grudge did these two hold against the Yellow Spring Great Sage? They were so ruthless!
Especially Nether King Er Ha, as the man was talking with an excited face. He looked like he was the one doing this affair...
Nethery's mouth twitched once, feeling sorry for the Yellow Spring Great Sage for a second.
The Netherworld Ship moved across the Yellow Spring River, moving through the blood mist.
All of a sudden…
A shadow emerged in the blood mist ahead of them.
That shadow swayed slightly, moving neither fast nor slow. However, it approached the Netherworld Ship fast. It brought with it a shivering chill.
An indistinct sound of the flute lingered above the entire Yellow Spring River.
Bu Fang was astonished. He immediately turned around to watch. Then, he saw a small boat slowly emerge from the blood fog.
The small boat was made of some jet-black material. An old man wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat was on it.
The old man sat cross-legged on the front part of the boat. He was holding a small white bone flute. As his mouth blew the flute, the slow melody sounded from it, hovering around.
His flute seemed to have a special enticement that made people physically and mentally attracted to the melody, making them entirely immerse in it.
At this moment, Bu Fang felt like he was sinking into the sounds of the bone flute.
As the bone flute echoed, so many images flew past his eyes, which came deeply from his memory.
It was his memory when he was on Earth, in the Light Wind Empire, and even in the Pill Palace… So many pieces of his memories flashed past quickly, blurring his vision instantly.
”Woof!”
A dog bark sounded all of a sudden, causing Bu Fang's memory visions to shatter. He was so frightened as if he had just been fished out of the water river.
His entire body was soaked with sweat.
Bu Fang panted. His eyes were full of disbelief.
He looked at Lord Dog for a while. He found the lazy dog lying on the ground, seemingly looking at him with a smile. The dog's nose wrinkled, as though he was mumbling something.
Nether King Er Ha sat aside, folding his legs. He was still sucking the Spicy Strip.
Nethery was awakened by that dog bark too. However, she looked much better than Bu Fang.
”That's the Soul Fisherman of the Yellow Spring River. That old man fishes souls… then guides them to the Bridge of Helplessness. There, the souls' memories will be washed. He will assist them in reincarnating,” explained Nether King Er Ha, licking his Spicy Strip.
Bu Fang was astonished. His eyes lit up all of a sudden.
”Guiding the souls to the Bridge of Helplessness? That Bridge of Helplessness has the Flower of Helplessness?” asked Bu Fang.
Nether King Er Ha was bewildered. ”Bu Fang young man, you want the Flower of Helplessness? Honestly… The Flower of Helplessness tastes awful. It's both sour and bitter. It's really disgusting.”
Bu Fang was speechless. This fellow… How did he happen to taste the flower?
”It's not easy to take the Flower of Helplessness… Get on the old man's boat, and he will take you to the Bridge of Helplessness. The Flower of Helplessness isn't as valuable as the Yellow Spring Grass. It's not a big deal to take it,” said the Nether King.
Although he said things lightly, Bu Fang had an urge to hit him.
That old man was an immeasurable existence. He had just used his flute, and Bu Fang's memory had almost been washed away.
Once his memory was cleared, he would become dumb. Then, being the God of Cooking would just be empty talk. He was already scared just thinking about it.
And now, the Nether King suggested that he should get on the Soul Fisherman's small boat…
