Chapter 147: Chapter 142, An Invitation from the Underworld

Bai Jin revealed a smile, tiptoed over, then suddenly called out, "Gu Liang~"

"Ah!" Gu Liang jumped up in surprise, turning around with a mushroom in hand and joyfully exclaimed, "Senior Brother!" She immediately hid the mushroom behind her back, and when she brought her hands forward again, the mushroom had disappeared.

Bai Jin walked over and spotted a small mushroom beside the roots of a tree, and with a smile asked, "Junior Sister, are you picking mushrooms?"

Gu Liang immediately shook her head and looked up to say, "No! I am planting mushrooms."

She held up a small basket in her hand for Bai Jin to see.

Bai Jin looked towards the little bamboo basket and indeed saw many small mushrooms inside.

Gu Liang, brimming with pride, said, "My Mushroom Island is already filled with mushrooms, and I have also planted little mushrooms on Junior Sister’s Skull Island. Your island is too monotonous, so I planted mushrooms there for you too."

As she said this, she bent down to dig a small hole and planted a brightly colored small mushroom into it, filled the hole with soil, then patted her hands and giggled, "There! Senior Brother, don’t you think it’s pretty?"

Bai Jin hesitated before saying, "This mushroom is poisonous, isn’t it?"

"But it’s so pretty! Poison is just its way of protecting its beauty, it’s actually quite pitiful," said Gu Liang, gently stroking the vibrant little mushroom cap.

Bai Jin was at a loss for words. How do you see pity in a mushroom? I think you’re rather pitiful. He then leaned over and removed a leaf from the top of Gu Liang’s head.

Gu Liang, squinting her eyes and giggling, said, "Thank you, Senior Brother. Are you going to plant mushrooms with me?"

"Okay!" Bai Jin squatted down and joined Gu Liang in digging holes and planting mushrooms.

"Junior Sister, will they really grow like this? I feel like this might not be very reliable."

"Senior Brother, don’t worry. If I say it can be done, then it certainly can. In the future, your island will also be filled with lots of beautiful mushrooms."

"Are they tasty?"

"Senior Brother, how could you bear to eat such cute little mushrooms?"

...

As the sun set, Bai Jin stood up and stretched, saying, "Alright, that’s enough for today! Come with me, and I’ll make you something delicious."

"Thank you, Senior Brother! *^_^*" Gu Liang joyously exclaimed.

As the two walked toward the Bird’s Nest in the glow of the setting sun, they saw a bonfire had been lit close by, and in front of it, two beautiful silhouettes were chatting and laughing.

Gu Liang hurried over, giggling, "Junior Sister, I’m back."

Bai Jin walked over, surprised, and said, "Why didn’t the two junior sisters notify me of their arrival?"

Yun Xiao and Shi Ji stood up, bowed respectfully with a smile and said, "Congratulations on your achievement as a Daluo, Senior Brother."

Bai Jin laughed heartily and replied, "Congrats to you too! Come on in with me, I’ll show you something fun."

He gestured towards the Bird’s Nest with a wave of his hand, and as the walls shimmered, a portal of light formed, and they all passed through it into the inside.

Bai Jin personally cooked dinner. After dinner, he took them to the game room to teach them how to play mahjong. The three women learned quickly and played with great enthusiasm.

"Little Phoenix~"

"Pong!"

"Nine bam!"

"Haha~ I’ve won. Pay up, pay up, hurry up and pay."

The sound of clicking mahjong tiles continued until midnight when the ladies left reluctantly; they could have played all night if they hadn’t run out of money.

...

In the early hours before dawn, a black hole suddenly appeared outside the sea territory of the Jie Sect. From within the black hole emanated a gloomy and terrifying aura as a big man with disheveled hair and muscular build stepped out, his eyes cold and indifferent.

The big man strode toward Golden Turtle Island, not alarming any Jie Sect disciples along the way, and he went unnoticed even by Daluo Golden Immortals such as Bai Jin and Duobao.

The big man arrived in front of Golden Turtle Island, bowed respectfully, and said, "Xingtian seeks an audience with the Sect Hierarch!"

A moment later, Wudang Saint floated over, and also bowed respectfully, saying, "The Holy Mother summons you!"

"Thank you, Fairy!" Xingtian stood up and followed Wudang Saint towards the island, both walking in silence.

As they approached Biyou Palace, Wudang Saint halted and said, "Great Witch, please enter."

"Thank you," said Xingtian, and with his head held high, he stepped inside, while Wudang Saint turned and left.

Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian sat majestically at the main seat.

Xingtian entered the hall and bowed deeply, "Witch Clan’s Xingtian pays respects to the Sect Hierarch!"

"Rise," came the response.

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch." Xingtian stood upright.

Tongtian asked, "What brings you here?"

"I come by the order of Holy Mother Ping Xin to borrow a disciple from the Sect Hierarch."

"Who?"

"Bai Jin!"

Tongtian chuckled, a scene coming to mind where Bai Jin was thumping his chest and boasting confidently—it was a mere fortuitous meeting with the Houtu Ancestor Witch, a transient encounter, and their relationship was nothing but a cordial nod of acquaintance.

Tongtian asked, "For what purpose?"

Xingtian replied with respect, "The newly established Underworld is in a state of chaos. Our Witch Clan cultivates the physical body and does not comprehend the soul path, making it difficult to manage the Underworld. Hence, Holy Mother Ping Xin seeks Bai Jin’s assistance in planning."

"Granted!" Tongtian nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch," Xingtian bowed and said.

"Go find Bai Jin yourself."

"Yes!" Xingtian turned to walk out, vanishing with a flash as he left Biyou Palace and immediately appeared on the Three Light Immortal Path, making his way towards the Tao Palace resting on the grass. As he approached, he looked up and his mouth twitched at the sight—Bird’s Nest? This Saint Disciple indeed has quite the personality! What a common yet apt name he has chosen.

Xingtian knocked on the Tao Palace gates —no response. He then knocked harder.

Bang~

Bang~

Bang~

The loud sounds, like a drum beating, echoed.

Inside the Bird’s Nest, Bai Jin, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly opened his eyes with a dazed look, his head buzzing.
