“Bro Ning! How are things over there?”
Chen Xiaobei had called Ning Yuchen.
The ability to travel back and forth between Northern Wilderness Starfield and earth was Chen Xiaobei’s biggest secret.
If Ning Yuchen and the others returned to the base camp to find Chen Xiaobei missing, his secret would then be exposed.
“Everything is fine here!” Ning Yuchen said. “Which is strange. Zachara Grand Canyon seemed strangely peaceful recently! There was practically no Demonic Beast activity at all! The officers had gone in to investigate a couple of times, and every time they did, they were not able to find the slightest trace of a Beast Horde! It’s was as if all the Demonic Beasts have disappeared!”
Chen Xiaobei smiled quietly on the other end. It seemed that White Fox and the other Wicked Beasts had already vacated the canyon.
At least before the Demonic Beasts sent their next King, there would not be any major wars between man and beasts.
“The Demonic Beasts’ disappearance is a good thing! Then you can all come back early, right?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
Chen Xiaobei was trying to get confirm the time and day that Ning Yuchen and the others would return so that he could first return without raising suspicion.
“Oh, you think too much! We won’t be back for a while! The officers suspect that the Demonic Beasts are up to some kind of ruse! Supplies have already been brought in from the Capital City to prepare for a long-termed station here in Zachara!”
“Oh, is that so…” It looked like Chen Xiaobei would now have to stay on earth for quite some time.
He would help Luo Puti first and if there was a need over at Xiangyu’s, then Chen Xiaobei would be also be able to go over and lend a hand.
“Why? You miss us?” Ning Yuchen chuckled. “If you’re bored, you can go have fun with Sister Hua or visit the forest near the capital city. But don’t go too far, the further away you are from the capital city, the more dangerous Demonic Beasts you’ll meet!”
Ning Yuchen clearly cared very much for Chen Xiaobei.
“Alright! I know what to do!” Chen Xiaobei smiled to himself. “Bro Ning, happy Duanwu festival!”
“Duanwu?” Ning Yuchen began to ask when he caught himself halfway. “Oh! Right! It’s Duanwu festival back on earth! If you hadn’t mentioned anything, I would’ve forgotten about it already! I wish you a happy Duanwu festival as well!”
After they said their goodbyes, Chen Xiaobei hung up and walked back to the banquet hall.
Everyone was already seated, waiting for Chen Xiaobei.
Every person in the room were people closest to him. With all the bountiful, mouth watering dishes laid out before them, and with laughter filling the room, the atmosphere was almost magical.
Chen Xiaobei felt that everything that he had worked so hard for, alone and by his unyielding will, was all too worth it.
Even though there were troubles, challenges and even life-threatening incidences, Chen Xiaobei was more than willing to continue pushing forward without rest. He would do it just to be able to sit and enjoy the company of the people that he loved!
With Hong Hai’er and Wenyuan helping to stir up the atmosphere, the mood of the party was on a constant high.
They toasted and gave blessings to each other.
Those who were already acquainted, made deep, merry conversations while those who were strangers quickly became friends.
After about three rounds of drinks, they were like a big happy family.
While everyone was occupied, Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to excuse himself to the washroom but actually snuck back to his own room.
He had received multiple messages from his friends, hastening him.
The exciting Red Envelope Snatching Session was about to begin!
Yanwang: Bro Xiaobei! Why aren’t you here yet? Our performance is going to end soon! If you don’t come now, we won’t wait for you!
Chen Xiaobei: Oh… No! I’m here! Oh, yeah! What was your performance?
Mengpo: The core members of our Little Apple Playground performed a plaza dance!
Wang Yizhi: Our calligraphy group performed a live ink calligraphy of tonight’s inscription!
Zhao Yun: Our Wushu group performed a series of martial arts sequences!
Diao Chan: Our beauty queen group performed a song and danced!
Chen Xiaobei: No way! I missed so many interesting performances! I feel like I’ve missed out on a billion things!
Wu Daozi: Oh, our traditional Chinese painting team painted a picture of Qu Yuan jumping off the river!
Qu Yuan: It looked so real! I’ll give it a like!
Chen Xiaobei: What! Qu Yuan! You’re still in the underworld!? Thank you so much for your sacrifice. You have given us a three day holiday! 🤛
Qu Yuan: God Chen, don’t joke about this. I really can’t think about what would happen after that…😓
Yanwang: Alright! Let’s get down to business! We have all been waiting for Xiaobei’s big Red Envelope!
Xiao Tianquan: Yeah! I’ve been waiting for ages! 😃
Goddess Chang’e: God Chen! Hurry up! I want to be the luckiest one tonight!
Monkey King: Let me do a count down! 3! 2! 1!
Ding
[You have just sent a big Red Envelope to the group!]
Chen Xiaobei had already prepared a big Red Envelope with a few hundred thousand zhongzi. As Monkey King finished his countdown, it was all sent out to the group.
The group was not the Three Realms Red Envelope group but Little Apple Playground group of the underworld.
The people in this group were spirits of the underworld, and a few members of the brotherhood group whom Yanwang had invited. There were less than 20,000 of them in the group.
So, that meant that everyone would receive two zhongzi, leaving nobody out. That way, everyone would be happier.
The Red Envelopes were all taken in a short ten seconds.
Chen Xaiobei opened his Red Envelope and saw that the luckiest one was a person called Ming He.
In his memory, there was no one with this name in history, right?
One should always know that there are two kinds of dead people.
Sinners were sent to hell to be punished and the sinless ones had two choices: to either reincarnate or to cultivate in the underworld!
Because cultivating in the underworld was difficult, most people chose rebirth. Only those who were extraordinary would choose the option of entering the underworld.
In other words, the spirits of the underworld were people with willpower that exceeded those of ordinary people; they were also mostly people who had achieved extraordinary accomplishments!
That was why nearly all the spirits in the underworld were people who had their names stamped on history books!
Compared to big shots like Zhaoyun or Qu Yuan, this person, Ming He was considered pretty ordinary.
Of course, as humans have hundreds of thousands of years of history, it was no surprise that there would be a regular people who chose to spend the rest of their lives in the underworld.
While Chen Xiaobei was musing on this, there was already a commotion in the group!
Perverted Spirit: I got a zhongzhi. The package said Holy Lady Filling but there was no holy lady, it was a little tomato!
Bull Headed Demon: Are you stupid? I got Lao Ganma filling. Am I supposed to look for a godmother?
Impermanence Black Officer: Stupid cow! Let me exchange a piece of my Zephyr Yin Stone with your Lao Ganma filling zhongzi! I got one as well, it’s really delicious! It’s so spicy it’s awesome!
Bull Headed Demon: Zephyr Yin Stone? Let’s do it then! I’m willing to make the exchange but I’ve already taken a bite out of my zhongzi…
Impermanence Black Officer: Shoo!
Xiao Tianquan: I have three five-kerneled zhongzi! I’m willing to exchange it with anyone who has a ham sausage zhongzi! 🤤
Wei Xiaobao: I willing to exchange mine for a lamb kidney zhongzi! I feel like my body has been emptied out! I need to nourish it! 😁😁😁
…
After a few minutes of prattling, someone in the group finally said something Chen Xiaobei had been hoping for.
Monkey King: Everybody! Don’t just care about yourselves! The person who had given us the Red Envelope, God Chen, is still empty-handed! Let’s prepare some Red Envelopes! It’s time for an exciting, hair-raising Red Envelope Snatching Session!
