Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2863: Chapter 2864: Netherworld Ghost Market

Shu Jingchu laughed heartily, "Nothing escapes you! That’s exactly what I wanted!"

At this point, Shu Jingchu began to complain bitterly again.

"You have no idea what kind of life I’ve been living. Not only do I face a bunch of old geezers every day, but they also have an incredibly sickening desire to control me. They claim they’re protecting me, but in reality, they’re just monitoring and disgusting me!"

"Oh? Aren’t you the only one who can communicate with the Lord of Light? How could they dare not listen to someone of your esteemed position?"

"Ha!" Shu Jingchu let out a few cold laughs, "You see my high position? That’s just on the surface! In reality, the members of the Elders Council are shrewd, one more cunning than the next. Otherwise, how could the Great Elder secretly send people to deal with Fu Li’s disciple without reporting?"

"Does the Lord of Light not care?"

"You don’t understand him; he’s like a capricious child. When he’s happy, anything goes, but once he turns hostile, he becomes cold-blooded and ruthless. He doesn’t even realize it; he only cares about people’s faith in him and rarely bothers with anything else!"

"That’s why despite returning everything, Senior Fu Li wanted to detach from the Palace of Light! Dealing with such an entity is extraordinarily tiring!"

"Then why does he follow your every word, even helping me because you asked?" Xue An asked his burning question.

"Simple, three words: don’t coddle him!" Shu Jingchu replied crisply.

"I said it, he’s like a child, and the thing children love most is to cause trouble to gain attention. My strategy is never to compromise and treat him with indifference!"

"Under such an attitude, he’ll quickly become uncomfortable, and the more uncomfortable he is, the less likely I am to change! In this situation, he won’t hold out for long before obediently surrendering!" Shu Jingchu spoke confidently.

Xue An was somewhat taken aback because he didn’t expect someone to handle things this way.

"Dare I ask, what did you major in at university...?"

"I attended a normal school, specializing in child psychology!"

"I see, so you took this opportunity to remove the Great Elder who was secretly tripping you up?"

"Naturally! Since the Lord of Light discovered the Great Elder’s schemes, he had to take a stand; otherwise, he would lose his sacred status among his followers in the long run!"

"Once he took a stand, I could take advantage of it and kick that old fossil out!"

Xue An was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands in respect, "Admirable, admirable!"

"Ha, you’re too kind, too kind, it’s just a simple palace intrigue tactic. You haven’t seen truly ruthless palace intrigue yet! There’s a TV drama called ’The True Story of Zhen.’ When you watch it, you must focus intently, or you’ll find someone who was lively ten minutes ago suddenly dead...."

Xue An completely ignored all this chatter and directly asked, "Did Miss Shu leave me here for more than just telling me this?"

"Of course there’s more!"

Shu Jingchu unusually sat up straight, looking at Xue An with piercing eyes.

"Dare I ask, are you looking for the other Celestial Mirror fragments?"

Xue An’s posture instantly straightened, "What? You have clues?"

"I don’t have clues, but I know a place where they definitely will be!"

"Where?"

"Netherworld Ghost Market!"

"Netherworld Ghost Market?"

"Exactly!" Shu Jingchu nodded solemnly, "It’s a magical place where you can get anything you want as long as you can pay the price!"

"Oh? Is it that amazing?"

"Don’t believe? Shu Jingchu smiled, "At first, I didn’t either, until the day I spent a hefty sum to buy intelligence on the Lord of Light, then I realized that the Netherworld Ghost Market hides dragons and tigers, deep as the ocean!"

Xue An fell into brief silence.

He needed time to ponder Shu Jingchu’s words.

Shu Jingchu didn’t rush him, simply watched quietly and occasionally sipped coffee.

"Since you say this place is so magical, why didn’t you look for the other fragments before?"

Xue An knew well the Celestial Mirror fragments were crucial for him and equally for Shu Jingchu.

Because she traveled through time using this item.

So if there’s a chance, Xue An wouldn’t believe Shu Jingchu wouldn’t act.

"Of course, I’ve searched, but I published messages several times and they eventually disappeared without a trace. However, this doesn’t mean the Netherworld Ghost Market isn’t capable; it’s because I didn’t offer a high enough price!"

Saying this, Shu Jingchu showed a bashful expression.

"Previously, when I was the so-called Holy Maiden, I appeared to have an esteemed position but actually had no real power. All financial authority was held by the old geezers, so naturally, I couldn’t offer too high a price!"

"How do you go there?" Xue An asked directly without much hesitation.

"Don’t rush, the Netherworld Ghost Market isn’t what you might imagine; it doesn’t exist physically!"

"What do you mean?"

"It’s simple, I don’t know if there’s a computer in your world...."

"You’re suggesting the Netherworld Ghost Market is like an online presence?" Xue An reacted quickly.

Shu Jingchu nodded approvingly, "Exactly! And it’s hidden beneath the surface web. I call it... the dark web!"

......

"Are you sure this thing is the passport to the Netherworld Ghost Market?"

Xue An looked at the inconspicuous pair of glasses in front of him, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, at first I didn’t believe it either, but when I truly wore them, I could only be in awe of the builders of the Netherworld Ghost Market; at least the technology they possess is beyond my imagination!"

Xue An hesitantly picked up the glasses.

They felt cold in his hand, with no energy fluctuation inside, and the surface was incredibly smooth with no engravings visible.

From any angle, these looked like ordinary glasses, but the instant Xue An skeptically put them on, he was stunned.

Because the moment the glasses were worn, Xue An felt as if he’d entered another world, vibrant and expanded before him.

The vast Starry Sky featured a huge gate towering amidst it, firmly shut, and a dialogue box floated above.

"Name:"

"Xue An!"

Then the dialogue box quickly vanished, revealing a loading progress bar.

"Identity verification in progress... Human Cultivator."

"Identity verification successful... Account created successfully, account name Xue An!"

"As the creator is a newbie, the system grants a vague appearance privilege, privilege duration one hour, countdown starts now!"

"Would you like to access the Netherworld Ghost Market?"

Xue An was somewhat bewildered by the barrage of prompts.

This felt like playing a game!

But he soon smiled with understanding, then clicked confirm.
