C11 (1/2)
”Otaku, you —” Mu Ge'er was furious.
At this moment, a piece of news suddenly came on the TV and attracted my attention. I made a gesture and said, ”Shh —”
”According to our station's news, yesterday night and day, there were two astronomical wonders that appeared in our city. One of them was the appearance of thunder and lightning in the clear sky while the other was the phenomenon of solar eclipses without any warning. Next, please watch the video provided by the enthusiastic netizens —”
On the display screen, in the clear sky, lines of clear lightning could be seen streaking through the air as if searching for their target. I patted my head. What a close call! These lightning are all coming for me.
Then a second video, nothing to look at, just a missing piece of the moon, and then that piece of land suddenly appeared again.
”Next, we have invited astronomical and meteorological experts to explain these two strange astronomical phenomena!”
An old man came out of the television with a scholarly appearance. ”The first phenomenon of thunder and lightning on a sunny day is not unusual. It is caused by the friction of the atmosphere,” the old man said calmly, and he was sure.
”As for the second phenomenon, it's more interesting. According to my observations over the years, it's most likely because a certain star's shadow is projected between the earth and the moon, blocking the light …”
Damn it, did you not see last night's danger? If it was me or the Black and White Impermanence risking our lives to cut the Howling Celestial Dog, all of the women's aunts in the future might not be able to come.
”Here are a few pieces of news. According to the statistics department of our city, this month's CPI is 5.8% higher than the previous month's …”
I put the remote next to the still-angry wooden singer's paw. ”You watch TV yourself, I'll sleep a little more …” With that, he sneaked into the Sun Lao'er's shiny black bed and went back to sleep.
In a daze, I felt someone pat me. When I opened my eyes, Sun Lao'er had returned. Mu Ge'er was not here, and had gone somewhere to play. It was a great loss that she was not here, or else, when she saw Mu Ge'er taking over the body of the Howling Celestial Dog, he would have no idea how Sun Lao'er would roar at him.
”Great Immortal Sun,” I said, jumping out of bed. ”What did it say?”
Sun Lao'er smiled at me first. When did this guy learn it from White Impermanence? He smiled idiotically at me before saying anything.
”Thanks to my beautiful words in front of the Celestial Emperor, this matter has already become a reality. The Celestial Emperor had no choice but to let you be the King of Hell, but as a proxy —”
A small stone in my heart fell to the ground, for the time being. Even though I haven't been in Hades for more than a day, I already like this job a little, and I earned more money last night than I earned in the first half of the year. This profession had a great future.
”However, the Heavenly Emperor is very angry about your High-grade Magic Weapon. He will send someone to investigate and find out about this recently because there is an expert pulling the strings behind the scenes. If not, you brat, even if you recuperate for several tens of thousands of years, you won't be the King of Hell —”
It's just a matter of eating and drinking. When the time comes, the Black and White Impermanence can just get some roasted chicken and pig heads to go around. Anyway, the deities all rely on smelling the scent.
”Then what about my Immortal Sign?” I asked the question that I was most concerned about. Without the Immortal Sign, it would mean that I was still the same thing that didn't look like a human or a ghost. I don't approve of the Nine Heavens, but I still didn't dare to go out during the day.
Sun Lao'er spread his hands, ”No!”
”How come there isn't any?” I panicked. I am not a god of the night. If I can't leave home in the day, then wouldn't that be suffocating me?
Sun Lao'er's eyes stared wide open. Just as he was about to flare up, he seemed to have thought of something and softened down, ”Eh, this Immortal Sign is in the process of being created. However, this thing was too difficult to create. One needed to collect the spiritual energy of the sun and moon and refine it for forty-nine days. ”One day in the sky, one year on the ground …”
”Then wouldn't I have to wait 49 years before leaving during the day?” I roared at him.
Sun Lao'er immediately waved his hand, ”The higher ups are saying for you to wait another 49 years, but after much consideration and after much effort, we finally solved this problem.”
”Why didn't you say so earlier —” I faked it, wiping the cold sweat from my forehead.
”This...” ”This …” Sun Lao'er's face was full of pride, as he began to keep his mouth shut — — ”Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu ~
”Immortal Sun? Grandpa Sun! I was too rude just now. I hope Grandpa Sun doesn't mind — — ”A real man is able to yield, at most he'll just treat it as coaxing his grandson.
Sun Lao'er waved his hand, ”No, no. Although I have gone through a lot of trouble, with our relationship, it's still something that should be done.”
In the past, playing mahjong and stealing cards for a dollar was a common occurrence. If anyone owed him a dollar, they would have to return today even if they had to chase to the ends of the earth. This was a deceitful affair. In broad daylight, there was no need to be courteous. It was either deceitful or a thief. I have to be careful not to get trapped by this thing.
”You don't know? When I heard that you will only have Immortal Sign in 49 years, I was worried that you would not be able to eat or sleep well. In less than a day, you see, I have lost quite a few kilograms. ”I kept thinking and thinking and finally thought of a way — we can hide you and make it so that the Nine Heavens can't see you …”
”How?” I asked. ”You're not giving me a house with four wheels under it, are you? I'm going out to push the house around.”
”How can that be?” Think about it, what kind of magical equipment can cover the sky? ” Sun Lao'er kept them in suspense.
