The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 754: Joining the Underworld
Zhong Ying rolled his eyes at Zhao Chen and did not answer. Instead, he said sarcastically, "That imperial concubine spent tens of thousands of coins to buy a communication device for you. She really cared about you.

"I just don't know how she will fulfill that 'love' condition."

Your words may sound a bit sour, but I always feel that you are just looking for a good show...

After muttering to himself, Zhao Chen pulled Zhong Ying out of his arms, sat at the table on the side, poured himself a cup of tea, and then asked with interest:

"Communication device? What does that have to do with 'love'?"

Zhong Ying wiped her face with her hand and turned back into a maid again. She then repeated the situation of the three items and said at the end: "The Imperial Concubine bought both the 'Red and Blue Couple Rings' and the 'Butterfly Attracting Fragrance Bottle'. I guess she will give them to you tonight as an 'apology'."

Zhao Chen ignored the teasing. He was actually quite interested in the last item Zhong Ying introduced, the "Strange Message Tube".

Although he could use the power of the "Great Sun Star Raft" to communicate with his "subordinates", it was a bit unpresentable to always have his "master" pass on messages, so he had always been very restrained in this regard and would not use it unless it was an emergency.

If you have a "ghost message tube", it will be much more convenient. Even some friends who are not "subordinates" can communicate at any time... such as Fei Meng, such as senior brother.

As for the side effects? Others might worry that an inaccurate description would attract the attention of terrifying beings, but he, who had the "Great Sun Star Raft", was not afraid.

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen asked directly, "Is there any problem in selling the 'Strange Letter Tube' to me now?"

"Of course there is no problem. You can even record it directly under the name of the Imperial Concubine. She won't expose you anyway, right?" Zhong Ying, who looked like a maid, said with a smile.

As for whether this would expose her identity and relationship with Zhao Chen in front of Wang Qingling...it doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, they will be “one of us”, right?
After all, Wang Qingling has long been the owner of the Star Chariot accessory "Purple Star Face", and Zhao Chen is determined to recycle that accessory.

The "Strange Letter Tube" is worth 18,000 strings of cash. Although Zhao Chen can afford it with his wealth, the Central Plains only recognizes banknotes issued by the Daxia Bank, and he has not exchanged that much before.

It was obviously inappropriate to use Mr. Zhan's bill to buy magic tools, so after hesitating for a long time, he could only ask Zhong Ying to pay in advance.

But before he opened his mouth, Zhong Ying guessed what he was thinking, so he shook his finger and said:
"I have no problem paying for it, and I don't want you to pay me back, as long as you promise me one thing."

Zhao Chen frowned and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Join the 'Underworld' with the identity of the 'general' you mentioned earlier and become my direct subordinate." Zhong Ying said as he opened the treasure house of the "Wanbao Tower" and took out the "Ghost Mailbox".

"Join the 'Underworld'?" Zhao Chen was a little surprised. He had never thought of such a development. In his previous plan, he even considered investigating the details of this organization and destroying it... until he learned that it was established by "Empress Pingxin", he gave up the idea.

"Yes... Although the 'Yinsi' is an organization founded by Lady Pingxin, she no longer has the final say. It is divided into many factions.

"And the 'Central Ghost Emperor Mansion' that I belong to has more authority than the 'Ten Courts of Hell'.

"Once you join the 'Yinsi' and become my direct subordinate, you can share the power I have. Not only can you recruit some local 'Yinsi' organizations for your own use, but you can also enter the 'Yinshi' more safely through certain nodes.

"This is like having an extra life-saving backup plan."

After listening to Zhong Ying's description of the benefits of joining the "Yinsi", Zhao Chen pondered for a few seconds and then asked, "What about the corresponding obligations?"

He didn't believe that there would be a good thing with only benefits but no cost. "'Yinsi' is a relatively loosely managed organization, and members generally only need to complete one assassination mission per year." Zhong Ying handed the "ghost mailbox" to Zhao Chen and said with a smile, "But if you want to be promoted to a specific 'position', you need many indicators.

"Well, a specific 'position' will have a corresponding 'position' blessing, which is similar to the power you borrowed. It does not belong to you, but you can use it and understand the mystery of it.

"Many monks join the 'Yinsi' in order to realize the next realm in advance."

After Zhao Chen took the "ghost mailbox", he nodded thoughtfully, thinking that those "judges" who went to various places to develop "underworld" branches might be performing some kind of "acting".

Of course, they may not be clear about the specific meaning of "箓位" and "角色", but they know that this behavior is beneficial to their practice.

However, I don't need to comprehend any "position" and if I just want to be an ordinary member, it shouldn't be a problem for me to agree to it.

As his thoughts turned, Zhao Chen directly put away the "ghost mailbox", which also meant that he agreed to Zhong Ying's request.

Zhong Ying's eyes and brows curved in laughter, but it was a pity that the image of this maid was too ordinary and she failed to show her true charm.

Looking at her smiling face, Zhao Chen glanced at her and said, "Are you so happy that I joined the 'Yinsi'?"

"Of course I'm happy. If I can get a quasi-Dongxuan fighter to join me, I can get a lot of benefits." Zhong Ying looked like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

Girl, are you sure you want me to join "The Underworld" instead of "Amway"?
Zhao Chen complained in his heart, but on the surface he asked carefully: "Do you need me to make up a fake identity for you?"

"No, you just need to be responsible to me. As an ordinary member, there is no need to keep your identity on file." Zhong Ying waved his hand and continued, "However, before joining the 'Yinsi', you have to submit a pledge of allegiance, understand?"

It's just a mission to join the club... Zhao Chen nodded slightly and said, "I understand... Who do you want me to kill?"

He still trusts Fei Meng, even if the incarnations have different personalities, he will not let him kill innocent people.

"You don't have to kill anyone, because you have already completed the mission. Just come back and give me the evidence that the target is dead." Zhong Ying smiled meaningfully.

Zhao Chen was slightly stunned, then reacted and said in surprise: "Is it the humanoid puppet I just captured?"

Yes, the sword Zhao Chen just used did not kill "Guan Si Niang", but instead he made a deal with her when she was desperate and "collected" her.

——The former intelligence chief of King Liang is currently in Zhao Chen’s “collection space”, which is why he failed to “self-destruct”.

Zhong Ying nodded and said, "That is 'Guan Si Niang' under the command of King Liang. I just found out that she is just a puppet."

"Who wants to kill her?" Zhao Chen asked.

Seeing the question, Zhong Ying raised the corner of his mouth and said in a playful tone: "She is the concubine of King Liang."
