Chapter 372: Chapter 184: Lotus can be picked in the underworld, how vast the lotus leaves are_3

The sound of a heartbeat thudded in the sky, fast and urgent like the beating of a drum. It was caused by a ghost being overly tense.

"Why is this happening again?"

The ghost complained in secret. Last time this dog appeared, it had been frightened half to death and had to hide back in the sky.

It had heard about this dog.

It was said that recently in the underworld, a giant dog engulfed in flames had appeared, charging recklessly and biting to death many ghosts stronger than itself, scarcely meeting any opponents.

Several ghost gods, having heard about this, had ambushed it, planning to capture this fierce creature, but they were bitten to death or injured by the giant dog, which then escaped.

The last time it saw the giant dog charging towards it, it thought it was doomed, but unexpectedly, the dog grabbed a ghost and ran off, allowing it to save its own life.

It had just spent a few peaceful days, only to find that not only had that dog returned with that little ghost, but it was back so soon!

Wasn’t this torturing a ghost?

After a long while, the huge ghost monster cautiously opened one eye, wanting to check if Black Pot and Chen Shi had already left. However, as soon as it opened its eye, it saw the dog still sitting there, tilting its head and looking up at him.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The heart of the giant ghost monster rapidly pounded as it quickly closed its eyes, lamenting, "I’m just watching over the vegetable garden, why torment such a minor spirit like me? Why stare at me?"

Chen Shi heard the heartbeat like that of a large drum and was startled. He hurriedly looked up at the sky, which was dim, the heartbeat coming from above.

"So it was a nightmare that frightened him, causing his heart to pound."

Chen Shi relaxed and continued to pick lotuses, eating them as he picked, thinking to himself, "Do ghosts even have nightmares?"

Ghosts were a type of creature from the underworld with physical bodies, so it seemed they could have nightmares.

Although the lotus field was vast, the number of Resurrection Lotuses was not very high. Seeing that the ghost was still asleep and did not come out, Chen Shi gradually became bolder and ventured further to pick more lotuses. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The giant ghost monster knew this was not good; if this continued and it was inspected, it would be punished.

But every time it opened its eyes, it saw Black Pot tilting its head looking at it, with a demeanor that seemed to say, if you dare come down, you’re finished.

"No lotus field is worth more than my life!" the giant ghost monster thought and decided to ignore it, continuing to snore loudly.

It was quite a straightforward ghost, and before long, it genuinely fell asleep.

Chen Shi, whose soul was emanating a white glow, saw Black Pot rushing towards him, signaling that he needed to return quickly, otherwise being away from his body for too long could starve his body to death. Chen Shi quickly climbed onto its back, and with Black Pot stepping on black underworld winds, they returned to the mortal world.

Chen Shi hurried back to his own body and saw that another day had passed; indeed, he was starved.

Black Pot tied on an apron to cook, and Chen Shi stepped forward to help.

After they had their fill, Black Pot washed the dishes, and then took Chen Shi back into the underworld to continue picking lotuses.

This went on for six or seven days, the number of Independents on the mountain became fewer, and Chen Shi had eaten lotuses for six or seven days, consuming countless white lotuses. His soul, which initially emitted white light, now emitted a golden light, dazzling like a golden-bodied Buddha.

When Chen Shi ate the white lotuses, he felt they were of little use to his soul, realizing he had likely reached the limit of his soul’s potential, so he decided to pick some more to sell for money.

The giant ghost monster watched the duo leave and anxiously waited a long while. Not seeing them return, and after a few more days without any sign of Chen Shi, it finally completely relaxed. Thinking back on the ordeal, it wept like rain.

"Watching over the garden, this job is just too difficult, risking my life at any moment!"
