Chapter 120: Visits to the Banquet
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking about what gift to prepare, Meng Ruyan heard the knock on the door went from five breaths to four breaths after a while, and then quickly became three breaths.
At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to be still immersed in his own world and did not notice the situation outside.
This made Meng Ruyan anxious.
“Junior brother, junior brother?”
Just as the knocking on the door became once every two breaths, Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly ran back into the house.
Moreover, he even released his clone, one person and a clone, rummaged through the house.
In the end, Lu Yuan finally came out after the knocking became one breath per time.
In his hand, there was a money pouch.
The style of this money bag was very ordinary, no different from the money bags used by mortals.
Without explanation to Meng Ruyan, Lu Yuan pulled her and ran towards the main entrance.
Just as the guy at the door was about to lose his patience, Lu Yuan finally opened the door.
“Official Lu, Lady Meng, you’ve made me wait for quite a while.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Something just happened.”
Lu Yuan replied with a smile while observing the situation of the servant in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, this fellow was not human at all, but a lifelike paper figurine.
with some curiosity, Lu Yuan checked out the other party’s interface.
[Paper Man, Ghost Mansion Servant]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage level 1]
Good heavens, even a paper servant had the cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
At this moment, after Lu Yuan walked out of the courtyard, the surrounding strange fog also dissipated by a lot.
He could finally see the situation around him.
The entire street was filled with these paper servants.
They stopped at the entrance of a courtyard and knocked on the door continuously.
Lu Yuan estimated that there were at least a hundred paper servants on this street.
However, it seemed like cultivators like Lu Yuan weren’t the only people invited by these paper manservants.
There were also some paper men who were similar to these paper servants.
Moreover, the paper men who were invited by the servants had a pretty good level of cultivation.
The weakest among them was at the Foundation Establishment Stage Level 3 cultivation.
One of them was a paper man wearing an official robe, and his cultivation had reached the Pseudo Core Stage.
Looking carefully, the street outside was not empty at all.
Everywhere was bustling with traffic and lanterns hung high.
It’s just that there was not a single living person on these streets.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was still observing the surroundings, the paper servant said impatiently, “Official Lu, Lady Meng, where are your invitations?”
“If the two of you didn’t prepare an invitation, then I think you two are looking down on our King of Hell.”
As he said this, the paper servant’s eyes, which were painted with cinnabar, immediately revealed an excited light.
Even the other paper servants around them looked over.
He seemed to be looking forward to the situation where the two of them did not take out their invitations.
Unfortunately, as a steady person, Lu Yuan naturally would not give them this opportunity.
Thus, Lu Yuan took out the invitation and handed it to the servant in front of him.
Seeing Lu Yuan take out the invitation, the paper servant’s face immediately revealed a disappointed expression.
Even the paper servants around him lost interest.
After confirming that both of them had invitations, the paper servant returned to his original cold tone.
“All right, since you have an invitation, then come with me. After all, this is our Lord King of Hell’s wedding day.”
“If we miss the time, not to mention you guys, even we would be in trouble.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to lead the way.”
The paper servant nodded, then turned around and walked in a certain direction on the street.
Lu Yuan and Meng Ruyan looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
As the two of them left the courtyard, they could finally roughly observe their surroundings.
The environment here did not look much different from the towns where people lived in the mortal world.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the streets were filled with paper men, Lu Yuan would have felt that he had returned to the Great Xia Kingdom’s Imperial City.
Along the way, Lu Yuan also noticed many details.
For example, the place where the cultivators lived had blood-red lanterns hanging outside.
While white lanterns were hung in the courtyards where the other paper figures lived.
Lu Yuan didn’t know the difference between these lanterns.
In the hands of each paper servant was a white paper lamp.
The pale light emitted by the paper lamp seemed to be able to disperse the surrounding fog.
The paper lamp’s illumination range seemed to be limited.
Lu Yuan did not know what would happen if he walked out of the paper lamp’s illumination range.
But it shouldn’t be anything good.
“Junior Brother Lu, are you sure we should follow him to the King of Hell’s mansion?”
“You have to know that although the King of Hell is comparable to Core Formation Stage cultivators, they are much stronger than ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivators.”
“Moreover, these Kings of Hell aren’t ordinary ghosts. They’re essentially a type of strange evildoers, and their strength fluctuates greatly.”
“Once we enter the King of Hell Palace, it won’t be easy to get out.”
“Senior Sister, don’t worry. I’ve already thought about this situation.”
“But Senior Sister, didn’t you say that this so-called Gates of Hell is actually a place of laws similar to the projection of the heavens?”
“In other words, as long as we comply with the rules, we won’t be in too much danger.”
Seeing Lu Yuan’s confidence, Meng Ruyan did not know if Lu Yuan was overconfident or if he had underestimated the Gates of Hell.
But in the end, she did not say what she was thinking.
After all, based on the current situation, they seemed to have no other choice but to go to the banquet.
At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something. He actually took the initiative to walk beside the paper servant, standing side by side with him.
Meng Ruyan was dumbfounded by such a bold move.
“Junior Brother, shouldn’t you be the kind of person who was cautious as rumoured within the sect? Why did you dare to make such a bold move now!” Meng Ruyuan exclaimed to herself.
What Meng Ruyan did not know was that Lu Yuan’s so-called stability did not mean that he did not do anything. He only did things that he was confident in.
Most of the time, he indeed would rather not do anything than make a mistake.
However, if he was certain that he could make a worthy contribution, Lu Yuan would not really do nothing.
Currently, Lu Yuan was doing something he was confident of.
Lu Yuan took out the money bag he found in his room, took out a copper coin from within and quietly placed it in the paper servant’s hand.
This scene immediately made the paper servant look up to Lu Yuan.
Then, without waiting for Lu Yuan to speak, the paper servant continued, “Lord King of Hell doesn’t seem to like outsiders very much. I wonder if those outsiders will offend Lord King of Hell when the time comes…”
After saying this, the paper servant stopped talking..
