"Haha, good, it's rare to have such an ambition in a son-in-law. I'll go back immediately and call my wife and daughter to do the mission together."
"Meet my daughter while you're at it, and then we'll set a date for the wedding." After saying that, he turned into a streak of blue light and disappeared before Lin Qing could speak.
Chapter 122 Ao Xue
Lin Qing left, hastily departing from the capital. He really didn't want to see Ao Qing's daughter.
I checked the information and locations of the demons ranked third to tenth on the World Book's Demon List, and then I left.
Three months later, Lin Qing finally wiped out all the top ten demons on the Demon Ranking.
Searching for them was a huge waste of Lin Qing's time; every time he killed one, he had to return to the capital to check the location of the next one.
These demons won't stay in one place because the Demon Extermination Bureau has already been established in all the cities of the Ming Dynasty within a month.
With Zhu Zhanji's full support, the project was given free rein and manpower was increased. Now, the name of the Demon Extermination Palace has spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the people on the demon list began to hide and flee everywhere, and Lin Qing spent a lot of effort to kill the top ten demons.
Especially that devil in eighth place, he actually went to England.
It took Lin Qing a whole month to kill this demon.
After Lin Qing destroyed the demon, he returned to the capital. The capital was now several times more bustling than before, and it had also been expanded.
Lin Qing sighed, then arrived at the Demon Extermination Palace. In just one month, the entire Demon Extermination Palace had grown several times larger.
Even the signboard of the Six Doors next to it has been changed to Demon Extermination Palace, it seems that the Six Doors have moved.
Looking at the massive crowds at the Demon Extermination Palace, Lin Qing felt truly proud.
Lin Qing then flew into the inner hall and saw the old man and Ao Qing sitting inside.
As soon as Lin Qing saw Ao Qing, he immediately tried to run away, but it was too late.
"Oh, son-in-law, you're finally back! I haven't been able to see my daughter the last few times, but you must see her this time."
Ao Qing grabbed Lin Qing's dragon claw. He had even given up his mission to wait here for Lin Qing to return.
Before Lin Qing could speak, the old man quickly came up and grabbed Lin Qing's hand.
"My Dragon King, if you don't come back, I'm going to be killed by those people."
"Hurry up and give me the orb of light!" With that, he waved his hand, and the entire inner hall was filled with all sorts of monsters and ghosts.
"Um, Senior Ao Qing, we'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later." Lin Qing immediately opened his mouth and swallowed all of these things.
The old man knew that Lin Qing didn't eat people; he would either behead anyone or send them to jail.
Then Lin Qing directly converted the essence of the sun and moon and spat it all out. Before Ao Qing could react, all the light orbs were collected by the old man.
"Wow, son-in-law, so much essence of the sun and moon?" Ao Qing was also stunned. So much essence of the sun and moon made him tempted.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Qing was too lazy to explain to Ao Qing.
Although Ao Qing coveted it, he didn't dare to snatch it. Even if Lin Qing wasn't here, he realized that he couldn't beat the old man now.
But then I thought, if my daughter were to marry Lin Qing, would Lin Qing really treat my daughter badly?
"Dad, Dad, I'm back!" A clear voice rang out from outside the door.
"Xiaoxue, slow down. You're a grown woman, yet you're still acting like a child," another gentle female voice scolded.
A beautiful young girl dressed entirely in white ran in from outside the door, followed by another woman.
"Haha, my darling daughter is back. Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Lin Qing, the one I told you about."
Upon hearing this, Ao Xue and Ao Shuang looked at Lin Qing and scrutinized him closely, while Lin Qing was also observing Ao Xue and Ao Shuang.
The girl who ran in had a beautiful face and a good figure, but her breasts were a bit small. Without a doubt, this must be the 800-year-old Ao Xue.
Lin Qing internally scoffed, "You're old enough to be my great-great-grandmother."
The other one is Ao Xue's mother, who is even more beautiful than Ao Xue, with a devilish figure and an angelic face.
"What a rare talent! He's a perfect match for our Xiaoxue." Ao Shuang nodded in satisfaction as she looked at Lin Qing.
Comparing Lin Qing to the Black Dragon King, Lin Qing is many times stronger than the Black Dragon King.
“Son-in-law, this is my wife, and also your mother-in-law, Ao Shuang,” Ao Qing immediately introduced.
"Ah, um, Dad, what are you talking about? I didn't say I wanted to get married." Instantly, Ao Xue ran to her mother's side with her face flushed red.
"Ahem, please stop calling me son-in-law." Lin Qing was extremely embarrassed.
"Dragon King, there's something I need to tell you," the old man said, breaking Lin Qing's awkward silence.
"Alright, Senior Ao, I have something to attend to here. We'll talk later, later." Lin Qing ignored Ao Qing and the other two, grabbed the old man, and flew into the room.
"That Ao Qing is so annoying, but thankfully you gave me an excuse." Lin Qing patted the old man's shoulder with his paw to express his praise.
"Well, this old man can't really say anything about this, but I do have something to tell you," the old man said.
"Is something really wrong? Then tell me!" Lin Qing was greatly surprised.
It turns out that just a few days ago, the ghost messengers from the underworld actually came to the Demon Extermination Bureau for help.
That's right, they are ghost messengers. Lin Qing never expected that there were ghost messengers in this world.
Lin Qing originally thought this world was like the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, with many plots from TV dramas.
But Lin Qing discovered that this world was just like the movie version of A Chinese Ghost Story, without characters or plots like Painted Skin or Lu Pan.
In a world where immortals and gods have vanished, it's unexpected that the underworld still has administrators who have sent ghost messengers to seek help.
The reason hasn't been explained yet; they've only asked Lin Qing to go to the underworld, where someone will naturally tell him.
"Alright, I'll go to the underworld now. By the way, where's Yan Chixia? I haven't seen him anywhere," Lin Qing said.
"That bearded man is on a mission, chasing after the demons on the demon list every day. He's very busy," the old man said.
The old man has now reached a bottleneck; refining the essence of the sun and moon only increases his magical power slightly.
Seeing Yan Chixia getting stronger every day made him feel uneasy; before long, Yan Chixia might even surpass him.
Even the old man was thinking about whether he should do some missions too, and maybe he could break through this bottleneck by fighting every day.
"Alright, I'll be going then. By the way, I don't need to teach you how to talk to Ao Qing, do I?" Lin Qing stared at the old man.
"I understand, I understand, Dragon King, rest in peace!"
Lin Qing then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and then the dragon claw gently swept across the void.
A sinister gate appeared in the original spot, with a plaque above it bearing the three large characters "Gate of Hell".
Lin Qing opened the Gates of Hell and flew inside. The moment Lin Qing fully entered the Gates of Hell, the Gates of Hell vanished from the spot.
Chapter 123 Yama, the King of Hell
"What kind of monster dares to trespass into the gates of hell?" Lin Qing was greeted with an angry shout as soon as he entered the underworld.
"Hmm? Who are you?" Lin Qing asked.
You know, last time he opened the Gates of Hell and didn't notice anyone on the other side, but this time there are actually ghosts guarding the gate.
"What, you people from the underworld sent someone to invite me here but you don't recognize me?"
"Hmph, the underworld invited you here, that's the underworld. Now the Gates of Hell are occupied by our Ghost Emperor."
"Go back to where you came from, or I'll make you wish you were dead," a hideous demon said viciously.
"Hmph! What nonsense! What brat dares to be so insolent in front of me?"
Lin Qing released his pressure directly, and all the dozen or so evil spirits in front of the Gate of Hell were crushed by Lin Qing, their souls scattered.
Lin Qing then continued flying forward. The surroundings were gloomy and eerie, with jagged rocks and no sign of life.
It's strange that there weren't any ghosts nearby. Lin knew that the underworld was a paradise for ghosts, so how could there be none to be seen?
Soon after, Lin Qing arrived at a bridge with a monument in front of him bearing the three large characters "Naihe Bridge".
Just as Lin Qing was about to fly over, he was pressed down onto the bridge by a force.
"Such powerful force, could it be due to the River of Oblivion?" Lin Qing tried to take off but couldn't move at all.
Lin Qing extended his divine sense to investigate the River of Oblivion. As soon as he touched the river's surface, a section of Lin Qing's divine sense was swallowed up by the river water.
"Hiss! My head feels like it's going to split open." Lin Qing immediately withdrew his divine sense. Fortunately, he only lost a little bit of his divine sense, and it just hurt for a moment.
Helpless, Lin Qing had to use his claws to move. Although he couldn't fly, his claws were still quite good, and he reached the other side in no time.
"Isn't there supposed to be a Meng Po on the Bridge of Helplessness? Has Meng Po disappeared?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty the Dragon King, the old woman is right here!"
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind Lin Qing. Lin Qing turned around and saw a kind-looking old woman standing there.
"Huh? How did you get here?" Lin Qing hadn't even noticed the old woman.
"The old woman has always been here; it's just that the Dragon King hasn't used his divine sense to investigate."
Lin Qing immediately released his divine sense and discovered that the old woman was hiding inside a ceramic bowl.
Lin Qing had noticed the bowl before, but hadn't paid it any attention. He never expected that Meng Po would be inside it.
"Even Meng Po knows my name? Does that mean my name has spread throughout the underworld?" Lin Qing said.
"Who in the world doesn't know the name of the Dragon King? Of course, the underworld is no exception," Meng Po said.
"They're all just empty titles. What brings you to the underworld?" Lin Qing asked.
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, our King Yama will speak to you personally, please!" Meng Po gestured for her to enter.
"Alright, I'd like to see what you're up to," Lin Qing said before continuing to fly forward.
"Huh? Why aren't you going, Meng Po?" Lin Qing noticed that Meng Po hadn't followed.
“Your Majesty, you can go alone. There will be someone to greet you ahead. As for me, I still have to guard this Bridge of Helplessness, otherwise things will get complicated,” Meng Po said.
Lin Qing didn't reply, glanced at Meng Po, and continued on her way.
