Perhaps it was because of Hua Ning's uniqueness and Judge Cui's increased emphasis on protecting his daughter after the pain of losing his wife. After changing his daughter's name to her mother's, Judge Cui completely concealed Hua Ning's identity.
Other than the ghosts who had obtained the reincarnation indicator and were ready to drink Granny Meng's soup to cross the Bridge of Helplessness and reincarnate to leave the underworld, there were not many ghosts and reapers in the underworld who knew Hua Ning's identity.
Liu Ruyi had not been in the netherworld for a long time. She only knew Hua Ning after she became the White Impermanence. Hence, they did not know each other for a long time. Liu Ruyi still did not know that Hua Ning was Judge Cui's daughter.
The two of them met and got to know each other by chatting and having similar interests.
After all, in the underworld, it was well known that Judge Cui's daughter was called Cui Ning. In order to commemorate his beloved wife, Judge Cui had changed his daughter's name to Hua Ning. This was also Judge Cui's heart to protect his daughter Hua Ning. He did not want the tragedy of his wife, Hua Wanqing, to happen to his daughter Hua Ning again.
"You actually flicked my head.”As she spoke, Liu Ruyi stretched out her jade-like hand and scratched Hua Ning's waist.
Immediately, the two of them began to play.
"Alright, alright. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. I won't play with you anymore. Let's hurry to the lantern festival. After all, it only happens once every ten years.”Hua Ning was ticklish and begged for mercy.
Only then did Liu Ruyi stop.
He left the Bridge of Helplessness with Hua Ning and headed to the Lantern Festival that was held once every ten years in the underworld.
On the way there.
Hua Ning, who was wearing a light blue embroidered dress, showed off her perfect figure. Her figure complemented Liu Ruyi's graceful figure. The two goddesses of the underworld instantly became a beautiful scene at the lantern festival.
The Hell Lantern Festival was held in the Grand Underworld Hall. The area was vast and consisted of hundreds of antique pavilions and dozens of streets that intersected in an orderly manner.
The Lantern Festival in the netherworld was also known as the Gathering of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
It was the once-in-a-decade lantern festival.
On the day of the lantern festival, thousands of ghost vendors would open shops in the Grand Underworld Hall to do business, selling all kinds of goods. As long as there were no ghosts in the underworld who broke the law, they could sign up for the lantern festival.
There were thousands of shops, and each shop had a lantern hanging in front of it. The lantern had the name of the shop or the goods sold on it.
Hence, this was how the Hell Lantern Festival got its name.
On the day of the lantern festival in the netherworld, the ghosts who were serving their sentences could be exempted from punishment for a day. Any shop selected by the netherworld to participate in the lantern festival could be exempted from taxes for a year.
Therefore, the merchants that were chosen by the Netherworld to participate in the lantern festival invited their shops to enter the Grand Underworld Hall on the day of the lantern festival. The items they sold were much cheaper than usual. This was one of the important reasons why the Netherworld ghosts were attracted to the lantern festival.
Therefore, the Lantern Festival was an important festival in the underworld, and it was also a day that all the ghosts in the underworld looked forward to.
The ghost head moved.
It was a black mass.
The entire Vast Underworld Hall was filled with ghosts.
There were ghosts from all dynasties, regions, old and young, women and children. Other than the lantern festival, it was rare to see so many ghosts gathered together. Most importantly, it was legal.
"I didn't expect the lanterns to be so popular this year. There are actually so many ghosts participating, twice as many as before.”Flower Staring at the street where the lantern festival was held was filled with ghosts, and most of them were buying things.
It was extremely lively!
But it was also very crowded.
In front of a grocery store.
"Boss, I'll take care of this, this, and this.”The one who spoke was an air eating ghost. It looked like it was rich and powerful. It took out a thick stack of Underworld coins from its pocket and smashed it on the table.
"Alright, alright, I'll wrap it up for you immediately.”
The ghost owner of the shop swiftly packed up everything and quickly handed it over to the manager, accepting a thick stack of Underworld coins.
The scene at the other stall seemed to be similar.
The green ghost went crazy.
"Quick, quick, quick…Pack them all up."
He was afraid that if he was a second slower, he would not be able to snatch it.
Liu Ruyi was completely dumbfounded when she saw the scene in front of her." Have all the ghosts in the netherworld gotten rich recently?”
"Why are all of you so rich?”
Liu Ruyi was puzzled.
She had been in the netherworld for more than a year, but she had never seen so many ghosts suddenly become so forthright in a short period of time.
Even if the lantern festival was held once every ten years and the goods were cheap, it shouldn't be like this.
Aren't Underworld coins money?
There's no need to go all out like this!
It felt like he had spent all his money to buy something.
Hua Ning was also puzzled." When did the purchasing power of the lantern festival become so strong? It wasn't like this last time."
How was he buying something? He was simply snatching something.
Liu Ruyi found it unbelievable.
Hua Ning was also puzzled.
The two goddesses of hell sighed at the same time.
"Why didn't our salary increase?" Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning looked at each other tacitly and said in unison.
In other words, why didn't we get rich?
"Ignore them. Let's go shopping.”Hua Ning said.
"Ruyi, look, there are puppet masks and sugar figures.”Hua Ning pulled Liu Ruyi along and quickly walked to a shop.
In front of a puppet mask shop, there were all kinds of masks on display. The workmanship was excellent, and the colors on the masks were beautiful.。
"It's so beautiful." Liu Ruyi picked up a cute cat mask and put it on.
"Boss, I want this." Liu Ruyi said.
Hua Ning picked a cute deer mask with small horns." This looks good. I want this."”
The ghost boss of the puppet mask shop quickly packed the items.
Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning each asked for two cute masks. They immediately put them on and looked very charming. They also bought two strings of sugar figurines.
After going around in a circle, he was looking forward to the lantern festival, but who knew that there were too many ghosts.
There were many places that could not be squeezed in.
Many stalls were swept clean by these ghosts who suddenly became rich and overbearing.
After finishing the candy figurine in her hand, Liu Ruyi stared blankly at a candied haws shop.
When they were young, every time her mother took her and her sister to the amusement park to play, she would buy each of them a skewer of candied haws.
"Boss, two skewers." Liu Ruyi passed a skewer to Hua Ning and stuffed the other skewer into her tender mouth. The fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth.
In fact, life in the netherworld was similar to that in the human world. Although there were differences, overall, it was similar.
There was one in the human world, and there was one in the underworld.
He was wearing a mask and strolling around.
Underworld Judge Cui Yu walked over.
"Father!" Hua Ning saw that he didn't like to go to lantern shows. Why did he come this time? She couldn't let him see the trouble she caused last time.
Although Hua Ning was wearing a mask, as Judge Cui's only daughter, she could still recognize her at a glance.
Thinking of this…
"Ruyi, let's go. There are too many people at the lantern festival. Let's go to the newly opened clothing store at the Bridge of Helplessness.”Hua Ning then pulled Liu Ruyi away.
The candied hawthorn that Liu Ruyi had just bitten fell out of the pot as Hua Ning pulled her away.
"My candied haws ~"
He looked at Hua Ning, who was about to leave.
Who did Hua Ning meet?
Why did it look more and more like she was sneaking out to play and getting caught by the elders?
Liu Ruyi was dragged along by Hua Ning as she continued to reluctantly finish the remaining candied haws.
There were too many lantern ghosts. These two skewers of candied haws were obtained with great difficulty and could not be wasted.
They left the lantern festival.
Hua Ning heaved a sigh of relief. She was safe.
"Let's go to the new clothes shop at the Bridge of Helplessness.”Hua Ning said.
Liu Ruyi's pink lips ate the last candied haws and nodded.
Very quickly.
A 'Yunji Clothing Store' appeared in front of Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning.
"This is it." Hua Ning walked in.
The shop owner was a Rakshasa.
"Welcome, please come in. The store has only been open for less than three days, and every item is new and has a discount.”The shop owner, Rakshasa, came forward to welcome him.
In terms of family background, Hua Ning and Liu Ruyi were not short of money. Liu Ruyi's parents in the Yang Realm were rich businessmen who would burn large amounts of real money from time to time. Hua Ning's father was Cui Pan, so it went without saying.
However, to say that they lived on the salary of the underworld, that was really eating dirt.
The clothes in the shop were indeed dazzling.
Liu Ruyi had taken a fancy to a lotus flower strapless dress with a floral design. Hua Ning had also taken a fancy to a gorgeous brocade dress with rouge buttons.
"Boss, how much are these two?" Liu Ruyi asked.
The shop owner, Rakshasa, immediately gave him a thumbs up and praised,"The two of you really have good taste. 30,000 Underworld coins together.”
Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning took out a stack of Underworld Coins.
Unexpectedly, when the shop owner Rakshasa saw it, he immediately felt a little unnatural. He did not immediately take the money, but asked,"Haven't the two of you received the news yet?”
News?
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning were curious. They looked at the Rakshasa Boss in front of them at the same time.
"What news?"
"It seems that the two of you still don't know that the Netherworld has already banned the circulation of this kind of Underworld coin and is preparing to replace the Underworld coin that was previously circulated in the Netherworld with new Underworld coins.”the Rakshasa boss said.
"What? There's such a thing?" Liu Ruyi looked at Hua Ning in astonishment.
Hua Ning also expressed that she did not know. She never cared about these things.
Liu Ruyi often spent her time in the mortal realm capturing souls, so she was not concerned about the circulation of money in the netherworld.
The shop owner, Rakshasa, continued,""I think the two of you must have just come from the lantern festival. You must have seen that there are especially many ghosts participating in the lantern festival this year, and they are all crazily buying things.”
Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning nodded.
"It's precisely because the Netherworld has proposed to abolish the previous Underworld Coins and prepare to introduce new Underworld Coins. At present, the only place where the old Underworld Coins are still circulating is the Lantern Festival. That's why that scene happened.”Rakshasa explained.
Hearing this.
So that was the case.
No wonder those ghosts went crazy and bought things at all costs. It turned out that if they did not spend all the money at the lantern festival, they would not be able to spend it in the future.
"The Underworld Coins were used well before, so why did you introduce new Underworld Coins?”Liu Ruyi asked in confusion.
Hearing this question.
The shop owner, Rakshasa, had a bitter look on his face." All along, the Underworld Coins used by the Underworld have been burned from the Yang Realm. They are all transported by postmen across the Yin and Yang Realms to the World Bank in the Underworld for unified management. Then, they are distributed in batches in the Underworld for circulation.”
"After all, this saves trouble. There's no need for the Netherworld to create it itself. It's been peaceful for so many years.”
"But in recent years, for some reason, the Underworld Coins printed on the Yang Realm have become more and more strange.”
As he spoke, the shop owner, Rakshasa, took out a few old Hell Coins and showed them to Liu Ruyi and Hua Ning." These were recently burned down from the Yang Realm.”
"This one has a face value of one million. This one is even more exaggerated. Ten million. And this one, 100 million. F * ck, tell me, this... How could he use it? He couldn't even find it.”The shop owner, Rakshasa, said resentfully.
"To think that the people of the Yang Realm dare to think and print. The local government has to spend 100 million to buy an egg!”
"Previously, there were also large amounts of Underworld coins that were burned down from the Yang Realm, but there were still five, ten, and fifty-one hundred. Therefore, the World Bank of the Inferno would remove those large amounts. Only the small amounts were burned down in the Inferno and barely managed to survive for a few years. However, the money burned down from the Yang Realm recently was not small. The starting amount was one million. They were too lazy to even burn a hundred thousand.”
"The world of the living doesn't burn small amounts of netherworld coins, and the underworld has no choice. If they use these large amounts of paper money that were burned from the world of the living, the economy of the underworld will collapse.”
"The Netherworld has decided not to use the money burned down in the Yang Realm. The Netherworld will issue its own new Underworld Coins.”
Liu Ruyi looked at the 100-million-yuan Underworld coin in her hand. The more daring a person was, the more money they would have!
No wonder she felt that the prices of goods had been rising rapidly recently, and the face value of the Underworld Coins in her hands was also increasing.
From the original 100 to 500, 1,000.
Now, it was 100 million!
The people of the Yang Realm were scammers!
