Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Gabriel: "Yeah, couldn't you have asked your dad for help?"

Zhong Suqiu: "My father has an extreme personality. I'm afraid that once he starts, he won't be able to stop. Wouldn't the people of this county suffer then?"

Huang Rong: "It seems Miss Zhong has thought a lot about this."

Nie Xiaoqian: "I'm not talking anymore, I'm going over there."

Hua Gu Zi World.

Nie Xiaoqian opened the portal and stepped through it, arriving in a uniquely decorated courtyard from the cold underworld.

In the small courtyard, flowers and plants flourished, with several blossoms vying for the sunlight.

A gentle and graceful young woman with bright, clear eyes stood there, like a beautiful painting.

Upon seeing Nie Xiaoqian, he quickly came to greet her.

If the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian was somewhat timid and pitiful, then Nie Xiaoqian dressed in the robes of Yama exudes an aura of majesty, transforming from a young lady from Jiangnan into a cool and aloof older sister.

"Greetings, Sister Nie."

Nie Xiaoqian waved her hand and said, "Miss Zhong, you don't need to be so polite. Now that you've joined the chat group, you're one of us."

"Hmm." Zhong Suqiu responded, then asked curiously, "Is that the crown and robes that Sister Nie is wearing from the Underworld?"

"Mmm." Nie Xiaoqian nodded. "This was made by Brother Daojun based on the descriptions of the old Yin gods of the Underworld. Isn't it beautiful?"

"It looks great. Well, as everyone says—it's very imposing. Only someone like Sister Nie can pull it off. Even if I wore it, I still wouldn't be able to intimidate anyone else."

Zhong Suqiu has a good understanding of her own personality.

She has a soft personality and lacks assertiveness.

Even if one becomes an emperor, one is merely a puppet to be manipulated by others.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to take responsibility and can ask for help when she encounters problems.

Otherwise, life would truly be difficult.

While Nie Xiaoqian chatted with Zhong Suqiu, her divine sense had already begun scanning the world, observing the differences in this parallel world of Liaozhai.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded in the sky.

Within the dark clouds, a desolate, ghostly land seemed to emerge, with black mist rising and shifting.

Zhong Suqiu was startled and looked at Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian comforted her, "It's nothing, it was just a matter of mobilizing the power of the Netherworld. I didn't expect this world to react so strongly."

Close your eyes and carefully examine the reasons; you'll soon find the cause of the matter.

"This world hasn't even fully evolved into the Netherworld, let alone the Heavenly Court. Doesn't that mean—this world is far inferior to my world?"

Above the sky, the Netherworld Land gradually perfected itself through its interaction with the Netherworld Authority in Nie Xiaoqian's hands, and finally sank into the earth.

All visions disappeared.

However, Nie Xiaoqian knew that a deeper change was taking place in secret.

Because she has been granted the authority of the underworld by this world, she can observe all kinds of changes in the underworld.

Beneath the earth, the six realms of reincarnation are being forged... and the eighteen levels of hell are also being forged...

In short, the Netherworld in this world is evolving into the Netherworld of Liaozhai because it is similar to the chat world.

"Sister Nie, how do you plan to punish that Magistrate Xiong?" Zhong Suqiu breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the dark clouds in the sky dissipate.

Nie Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Before, I had to take action myself. Now, let the Netherworld of this world judge Magistrate Xiong's family."

A thought came to mind.

A dark, ghostly figure appeared in the sky.

"Today, the 437th underworld deity is patrolling the human world and has discovered that County Magistrate Xiong Xiong, in order to curry favor with the powerful, poisoned his wife and children, and dumped their bodies in a bamboo forest. His crime is intolerable to heaven and earth, and he is punished by being reborn as livestock for the next eighteen generations, to be slaughtered by humans!"

"His wife conspired with him, and he should also be punished, and punished by being reborn as an animal, and for the next seven generations, he will also be an animal."

"His son used trickery and force to seize property, forcing women into prostitution and depriving them of all their lifespan. Ten generations later, he was reborn as a beggar."

"His own child is now the bamboo demon Tao Zui. His tragedy is pitiful. He is granted the blessings of Heaven and Earth. It is hoped that you will cultivate diligently and ascend to the path of immortality as soon as possible."

"His mother's soul has long since reincarnated, and he has been granted wealth and honor for three lifetimes in this world!"

"The underworld resides in people's hearts and between heaven and earth. May all beings remember that there are gods watching over us, and refrain from doing evil!"

The figure in the void, and the sound that echoed from it, could be seen for thousands of miles around, startling the people who all looked up at the sky with expressions of both reverence and fear.

Especially at Magistrate Xiong's residence, things were in complete chaos.

As the divine judgment came down, Magistrate Xiong and his wife transformed into two black-haired fat pigs in everyone's eyes, howling at the maids and servants, who were terrified and fled in panic.

As for the magistrate's son, he had just witnessed his parents turn into fat pigs when he felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

"The county magistrate has turned into a pig."

"Even the county magistrate's wife has turned into a pig."

"Even the magistrate's son has been taken by Heaven. Heaven has eyes!"

"I never imagined that Magistrate Xiong could be so vicious, poisoning his wife and children. If it weren't for Heaven's mercy, we wouldn't have known!"

Ancient county towns were not large; in just half a day, the story of Magistrate Xiong and his wife turning into pigs became a popular topic of conversation among the people.

That same day, the prefect sent people to clean up the mess.

The gods have already proclaimed his sins, so the imperial court will naturally not try to exonerate him.

Ultimately, after the magistrate was turned into a pig, all his honors and titles were stripped away, effectively erasing all his achievements in the human world.

outside the city.

bamboo forest.

Because of an imperial edict, many people entered the bamboo forest hoping to see the bamboo spirit Tao Zui, but ultimately they found nothing.

Immediately, local wealthy families proposed building a temple dedicated to the Bamboo Prince outside the bamboo grove for worship.

The people of this era are simple and naturally sympathetic to the weak.

With the blessings bestowed by the underworld, this bamboo spirit, transformed from the son of the former magistrate, might be even more effective than so-called deities.

"I never thought my revenge would be achieved so easily?"

At this moment, the enchantment is not in the bamboo forest.

Having received the blessings of heaven and earth bestowed by the underworld, his cultivation advanced greatly, equivalent to cultivating for several hundred years. His original bamboo form had already merged into his body, and he no longer needed to stay in the bamboo forest.

Moreover, he had no trace of demonic aura about him, as if he were an immortal in the mortal world.

This was a blessing from heaven and earth, which directly altered his identity.

"Come quick, everyone! Butcher Zhang is about to slaughter those two fat pigs!"

"You mean the county magistrate turned into a fat pig?"

"Isn't that right? Killing one's wife and children, they're worse than pigs and dogs."

Tao Zui's expression shifted, and he found himself following the flow of people forward, soon arriving at a slaughterhouse.

In front of the stall, a portly butcher with jiggling fat looked smug and said, "Gentlemen, this is Magistrate Xiong and his wife. I spent a fortune to catch them, and today I, Zhang, am doing justice for them. Watch closely as I send these two heinous villains on their way!"

Having said that, he raised the butcher's knife.

"Wait a minute."

Just then, a loud voice rang out, and a distinguished young man with an extraordinary bearing stepped out from the crowd.

"Mr. Zhang, would you mind selling me these two fat pigs?"

Butcher Zhang was taken aback: "Sell them to you? Do you even know who they are?!"

“Of course I know,” Tao Zui said calmly. “I believe there is no one in the world who doesn’t know their identities. But as a son, how can I bear to see my father die at the hands of others?”

Even though it was a blood feud involving the murder of his mother and himself, Tao Zui still couldn't bring himself to do it.

It can be said that although Magistrate Xiong was worse than a pig or a dog, his son Tao Zui had the heart of a bodhisattva.

"You are... that bamboo spirit Tao Zui?!"

The butcher's hands were trembling, and he almost dropped the butcher's knife.

Tao Zui smiled and said, "Exactly."

He then cupped his hands to the people present and said, "Fellow villagers, I have seen what my father has done over the years, but I was powerless to do anything about it, which has caused you all to suffer. I am here to apologize to you all."

Turning to look at the pair of fat pigs, he sighed, "However, though he is unkind, I cannot be unjust. Today I intend to buy them and send them back to the mountains, which can be considered as repaying his kindness in giving me life."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, one of the two fat pigs suddenly started to shed tears.

The people who saw this were filled with emotion.
