Chapter 52: Human Face Peach Blossom Reflecting Red (Five)

  Longjing smiled and said, "Those who do such subtle deeds are naturally not afraid of others, but they fear that their own two-faced and three-bladed affairs will be exposed, making them neither here nor there. If Ben Sheng puts out the word that the whereabouts of Xiangpian were revealed by you, and then releases you, let's see who ends up being anxious in the end."

  That person stopped hitting the mirror and said timidly: "This time I came out, the second master didn't know, but it was delayed too late, and it's likely to be a disaster. This time, the midwife didn't see either, wandering between heaven and earth in vain, isn't it pitiful? If Dragon God is willing to let me go this time, there are some things I'd like to tell Dragon God in exchange for freedom."

  "Excellent, excellent, it's all come together effortlessly." Longjing smiled and said: "What is the relationship between that Blue Moon gentleman and the night witch?"

  The man's face turned thoughtful, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Dragon God, I'm afraid that Blue Moon is also a leader of the demon realm, and at that time, it was the most powerful one besides the Nine-Tailed Fox family. This time, the Empress Dowager's rise to power must be related to Blue Moon. Moreover, Blue Moon is currently in the imperial palace, disguising herself as the National Master, using some sort of Purple Wei magic to deceive the old lady, and has already controlled more than half of the human world's power. And, without hiding it from you, Dragon God, your demon seal has fallen into her hands."

  "These things I all know." Longjing said: "If you don't say something useful, be careful that Ben Sheng's hand is unstable and shatters this mirror. Your several masters are all extraordinary, if they find out you're with Ben Sheng..."

  "That...". The man's face set in determination: "Alright, I'll go all out and tell the Dragon God what he wants to know most. That nine-tailed fox incense is not for escaping marriage, but rather..."

  The flower language saw it and asked hastily: "Quickly say, where did the master go?"

  "Ah... it was indeed the case that she was caught by the night demon and locked up, only to be told that she had escaped marriage. In reality, however, she had been manipulating the incense sticks in her hands. On one hand, she allowed the Dragon God and the Second Young Master to harbor immense hatred towards each other, drawing the Underworld into the conflict as well. On the other hand, with the demon realm lacking a leader, she took advantage of the opportunity to gain the support of Blue Moon and became the new leader of the demon realm..."

  "Hmph... the abacus is clicking away, what a great deal. Hot topic." Longjing smiled slightly: "Things are getting more and more interesting, deliberately pulling in the master of the Xuan Yin land to watch, I wonder what's the intention? The three realms are at war, it's really worth watching."

  "This... " The person's face seemed to be in shock that Longjing was so calm and composed, himself had thought of taking credit and asking for a reward, but now felt a bit short of breath: "Dragon God's words are law, naturally can..."

  "Anyway, why not," Longjing said with a sly smile: "Since you can be the messenger of the underworld and the demon world, it's not much to ask for one more role as the messenger of this god, is it?"

  "What does Longshenye mean..."

  "What Longwangye meant was to cast a long line and catch a big fish! Catch a big fish!" Guapian shouted.

  "Hua Yu, smash its soul mirror to pieces in the Rouge River and let it return to the Nether River itself. From now on, we'll still need to rely on it for news." Long Jing instructed Hua Yu.

  "Longshen Ye is wise! This way, the master will be rescued by us sooner or later. The nine-tailed fox family relies on Longshen Ye's salvation!" Huayu couldn't hide his excitement: "Actually, we in the demon world have long recognized that you are Longshen Ye, not that Second Master of the Underworld."

  "This matter, let's just drop it." Longjing waved his hand: "Old stories from past years can't compare to old fine wine, which isn't more fragrant the older it gets."

  Huayu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Huayu understands... However, the Second Young Master of the Underworld is also deeply in love with the Lord, so it's better to inform the Second Young Master about this matter..."

  "That stupid Er Gouzi, with so many eyes and ears around him, yet he remains completely unaware. If I were to tell him, he'd lose his temper and start a fight with the demon realm, and in the end, I'd have to clean up the mess myself. But I don't have that kind of energy."

  "So, let's just observe for now and not alert the enemy? Huayu nodded thoughtfully: "Everything will be decided by Lord Longshen! Huayu will presumptuously thank the Jiuyi Fox family on behalf of the Emperor!"

  "It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter." Longjing nodded: "You can go now."

  The flower language responded and transformed into a white jade parrot, its snow-white wings fluttered, carrying the mirror with a human face locked in it, and flew away.

  "Wait, wait! I'm still in this ghostly state, and teach that ghost face to return my body!" Ma Ershao splashed around in the jar, spattering out a lot of stinky green water.

  "Hmph, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot about you. How could that be good?" Longjing said with a sly smile: "Speaking of which, Meicai wants to buy a good golden hairpin for her mother, and I want to eat fragrant millet flower finch..."

  "Longshen opened his mouth, as long as I can change back, nothing is dare to decline!" Ma Ershao shook his tail violently: "Please Longshen have mercy!"

  "Well, since you've said so much, I'm a god who can't resist the temptation of human flattery and can't push away the hands that give. Saying this, he picked up a soft and limp gecko corpse from behind the window, and with a flick of his sleeve, Ma Er's fish head and human body slowly faded away, disappearing into the dead gecko's skin pouch."

  "Ah......" Not long after, the gecko came back to life. Its throat made a strange, high-pitched sound: "Dragon God, why...why did I turn into a gecko? Neither vertical nor horizontal, I am no longer human..."

  "This gecko is the underworld messenger who transformed your skin bag using the incarnation method!" Longjing smiled and said: "Your yang energy has been almost depleted by the underworld messenger, but as long as you eat mosquitoes for seven days, you can naturally transform back into your original form. At that time...” Longjing instructed a few sentences, and Ma Erlang crawled away with gratitude.

  "But what about Ma Ershao's family, they are still waiting anxiously outside..."

  Longjing smiled at me again: "Don't worry for now, just say that Ma Erlang is safe and sound. If the Dragon God protects him, he will return to this study within seven days."

  I had no choice but to open the door and follow the wishes of my dear family members, who were filled with mixed emotions of joy and worry, and yet still thanked me profusely.

  After some time, Ma Ershao disappeared again like a wisp of smoke and reappeared in the Ma family's mansion. The story spread again on Zi Yu Chai Street that Ma Ershao met a Fish Immortal who, due to his loyalty and righteousness, had accumulated enough merit to ascend to heaven. He took Ma Ershao to the immortal realm for seven hours, but when he returned to the mortal world, it was already seven days later. The delicious food and beautiful scenery of the immortal realm were vividly described by Ma Ershao, making everyone believe that he indeed had a predestined connection with the immortals. People couldn't help but sigh in admiration, thinking that Ma Ershao was incredibly lucky to have such an experience five times.
