I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

Mr. Li said he had never seen anything like it before; he was so old and this was the first time he had ever seen someone give him a ten-dollar reward.

"Hurry up and climb." Li Lin revealed a simple, honest smile typical of a cunning demon, then got up to say goodbye to Yitiaolong.

The husband sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled a small bottle from his hempen clothes, showing it to Li Lin with a pained expression.

"This is a hundred-year-old dew of a superior fairy..."

Fairy dew is to gemstones what the ash ledger is to Spindleian coins—it's like trying to use your lifespan to buy something; it's not impossible, but no normal person would do that.

This bottle of fairy dew is a favorite of gods and witches, as it helps them stabilize their forms.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Li Lin reached out and grabbed the bottle containing the Fairy Dew, but couldn't budge it.

"Ok?"

Li Lin's smile remained unchanged as he forcefully pulled the bottle into his sleeve.

The husband gasped and rubbed his hands together: "Robin, you have a really strong grip."

Damn it, what did this monster eat to grow up like this? I almost got blisters on my hands from all that pulling.

Li Lin smiled slightly, indicating that these things were insignificant. He told the old man to ask whatever he wanted, saying that there was nothing in this world he didn't know, and that he would make up something if he didn't know.

Today I'm going to play the mothman and swindle all your gold coins.

Upon seeing Li Lin's calm demeanor, Yu Gong didn't beat around the bush and went straight to asking about Li Lin's whereabouts.

Because of the curse, they can no longer freely enter the mortal world as they used to. Even issuing a divine decree has to be done secretly, making the Imperial Army act like a tunnel warfare force. Moreover, the priestess Kiyoshuin Ena seems to have stopped contacting him, and the Ama no Kusanagi sword doesn't even make a sound.

The husband, lacking information, expressed his anxiety.

Moreover, the process of the Great Tang Dynasty building the Star Torch was not kept from them—watching the once shapeless and disorderly Star Netherworld gradually being illuminated by the light of the Star Torch, the Imperial Husband and the black-robed mage gradually lost their appetite, and even peanuts with wine tasted bland.

"If it tastes bland, try cephalosporin with wine," Li Lin suggested to her husband, Yu, to try a different flavor.

When asked about his "dominant husband," Li Lin avoided the main point—in fact, he had done far too many major things himself, and any one of them would be enough for his "dominant husband" to ponder for a long time.

“Just one day ago,” Li Lin said, “the two demon kings of the present world attacked Tang’s territory.”

"Oh!" The husband's eyes lit up. "I wonder which two are you?"

Although Donghuang is powerful, he will certainly not fare well against the two demon kings.

If it were the Wolf King and the White Lotus King, they would have easily defeated the Eastern Emperor—unfortunately, these two god-slayers would have to fight each other as soon as they met.

“It was Hades and the Black Prince.” Li Lin shook his head. “The result was that the two fought to a draw with the Eastern Emperor. The aftermath of the battle destroyed a city, and then the Black Prince left with Hades.”

Li Lin thought to himself that he had helped these two people out of a way, and hoped that when he visited their hometown, they wouldn't be ungrateful.

Brief intelligence, but with a lot of information.

The husband nodded happily and became generous, giving away another bottle of Fairy Dew.

The rule for asking fairies for information is this: you have to pay for every question you ask.

"It seems that the Eastern Emperor is indeed powerful."

Knowing that Li Lin's strength was roughly equivalent to two or more Godslayers, Yu Gong's heart was heavy, but he was not flustered. The most dangerous time for an enemy is always when their identity is unknown.

"Next, I'd like to ask if there has been any friction between the Eastern Emperor and the White Lotus King?"

"This."

Li Lin subtly signaled to her husband to add more money.

That's fucking greedy.

The husband gritted his teeth. The Fairy Dew was gone, so he could only use something else to pay off the debt. After thinking it over, he grabbed the old black-robed monk who was drinking alone and took a string of prayer beads from his wrist.

Black-robed mage: "?"

"I'll get you a better one later," the husband said, maintaining a calm demeanor.

"I...you..."

The black-robed monk thought to himself, "I'm a mummy who has attained Buddhahood in this very life. All I have on me is a string of prayer beads that are worth a little money. You're not exactly penniless, so why are you trying to fleece me?"

The black-robed mage, increasingly grief-stricken and indignant, was so angry he wanted to storm out the door. Suddenly, he understood Princess Sita's feelings.

Holding the string of prayer beads imbued with pure aspiration, Li Lin answered readily.

"Then he is dead, of course."

"I knew it... what did you say?" The husband spat a mouthful of wine onto the old monk.

Black-robed monk: "Amitabha, my beloved husband, you... hmm?"

He realized what was happening.

"Who died?" the husband asked, his voice trembling.

Li Lin glanced at him sideways: "If you don't need your brain, you can donate it to the Sword King."

If Li Lin were Izanagi, he would definitely have swollen his nipples at birth if he could even ask such a question.

Wait a minute, it's said that Susanoo was created by Izanagi washing his nose after returning from Yomotsu Hirasaka... Could this guy really be a snot spirit?

On the other side, the old monk in black and the imperial husband looked very lost and dejected.

The strongest martial arts king, the White Lotus King who ruled the Jiangnan region of the Qing Dynasty, is dead. Does that mean the Tang Dynasty has occupied the entire territory of China?

Then their underhanded tricks were right under Donghuang's nose.

"No!" The husband finally realized, "You're giving false information—Godslayers come to the Star Realm after they die, but Pandora never said the White Lotus King died!"

“That’s true for the vast majority of people,” Li Lin said, adding that what he said was absolutely true. “But if you want to know the deeper inside story, you’ll have to pay extra.”

"Uncle, I love money the most."

391. Hit and Hit

Li Lin felt no guilt whatsoever for selling his own information.

He just wanted to see what else his husband could come up with.

"Tell me in detail, tell me in detail." The husband took out another piece of mirror fragment from his pocket and handed it over. "This is one of the fragments of the Yata no Kagami."

While the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Foot Mirror) is indeed precious, the fact that the Emperor's Husband is a fragment and only one of its parts diminishes its value considerably.

But in any case, bringing this out already shows that my husband is extremely sincere.

[Strange Object: Fragments of a Cracked Eight-Foot Mirror]

[Sexual Form: Lamp]

[Appearance: A mirror. Its skin, gleaming with light, is cracked, and blood flows freely.]

[A force shattered it; if you have the right materials, you can repair it—or you can use up all the remaining magic within it.]

Mirrors always hold a crucial place in the world of wandering, much like pupils are to a person.

"The answer is that the White Lotus King did not die—she was simply stripped of all her powers and then forged into metal as a living spirit... Oh, I remember you Japanese have human sacrifices, right? You should be familiar with this fine tradition."

Her husband's face darkened. "Can't we have a proper conversation? You little devil, how can you be so annoying?"

However, he could hardly deny it. Human sacrifice, also known as "human stake," has traces in the early stages of various civilizations, but only Japan has seriously promoted this tradition as a tourist attraction, making it seem as if it were something to be proud of.

Looking back now, the underhanded things they did during the Tokyo Olympics are understandable.

Getting back to the main point, "driving a live stake" means that during the construction of roads through mountains and bridges over rivers, if the construction process encounters difficulties, a lucky person will be chosen and buried alive on the foundation, or a living person will be poured into the cement and mixed in. Which step is taken depends on the progress of the project.

For example, the Fukushima Bridge, a transportation hub during the Edo period, was washed away every time there was a flood. Instead of investigating whether the people below had taken kickbacks, the authorities consulted a Shinto priest and issued an order that anyone who crossed the bridge at 9 PM would be arrested and used as a human sacrifice. So that night, a total of six people were arrested and stuffed into coffins.

There is also a more tragic version of the folk tale: the walls of Maruoka Castle in Fukui Prefecture could not be built no matter what they tried, so the lord of the castle planned to bury someone in them. At this time, a woman was willing to sacrifice herself on the condition that her son become a samurai. After burying her, the lord broke his promise and became rich.

The largest but least impactful incident was the Imperial Palace human pillar incident. During the earthquake, a section of the wall of the Japanese Imperial Palace collapsed, and sixteen standing human pillars were found underneath. However, because it involved their superiors, this incident, which should have had a huge impact, was downplayed and ignored.

Luo Hao was stripped of all her powers, so she could be considered dead. However, she did not return to the Netherworld but was imprisoned in the mortal world, unable to die. It is difficult to define her fate precisely.

The more Yu's husband thought about it, the uglier his expression became. If before it was just a thorn in his side, now it was like a sword hanging over his head. Yu's husband successfully experienced what it meant to be caught in a dilemma.

He always felt that Li Lin would find an excuse to enter the Netherworld and have himself encased in the statue.

"No, I have to go find Pandora." The restless Yu Gong didn't even have time to say goodbye to Li Lin before pulling the equally anxious old monk in black out of the thatched hut.

After confirming that they had walked a considerable distance, the Imperial Husband and the black-robed mage exchanged a glance and quietly returned to the thatched hut, where they squatted down.

They never intended to tell Pandora about this; those words were only meant for the fairy named Robin to hear. Anyone who believed them was a fool.

The real purpose of the husband and the black-clad sorcerer was to ambush the fairy Robin when he came out, forcing him to return everything he had taken, and then kill him to silence him.

The information Li Lin provided was truly significant. According to the rules of the fairies, it was perfectly reasonable to receive an equally valuable reward, but my husband was heartbroken.

"Do you think you can just take the money of a dignified Suzumura-no-Mikoto so easily?"

The husband decided to stuff this fairy named Robin into the corner of his thatched hut later.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for this greedy demon to show itself.

......

Now let's talk about Li Lin.

Susanoo was unaware that after he left, the house appeared to Li Lin as if it were naked.

Li Lin was causing chaos inside, while Susanoo was crouching in the corner, looking somewhat like a woman committing adultery.
