章 104: Chapter 104: The Red Underwear
Ye Hao and Xiao Hong entered the grand hall, leaving the Death Spider Emperor outside to stand guard.
As per protocol, only Xiao Hong and Ye Hao were permitted to enter the Death God's Temple; all others were strictly prohibited.
It was Ye Hao's first time inside the temple. The interior was vast, spanning an area equivalent to a soccer field—its grandeur invisible from the outside.
Ye Hao had previously visited the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, but compared to the architectural marvel before him, the palace seemed lackluster.
The temple's walls were adorned with murals, each depicting a figure cloaked in black robes and wielding a scythe. At first glance, Ye Hao couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"This is the Death God. Doesn't he look imposing?" Xiao Hong boasted.
Ye Hao remained silent, clearly awed by the mural's depiction of the Death God. He merely nodded in agreement.
His attention was then drawn to the center of the hall, where a massive black scythe was embedded firmly in the ground. The scythe was over two meters tall, adorned with numerous arcane runes that radiated a bewitching purple glow.
Ye Hao's eyes lit up, and he instinctively stepped forward to inspect it.
"Stop!" Xiao Hong barked.
"What's the matter?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled.
Xiao Hong's expression turned serious. "That is the Death God's Scythe, a divine weapon. You'd best not covet it. At your current level, you cannot hope to wield it."
Ye Hao paused, taking her words to heart.
"The Death God's Scythe," Ye Hao mused. "If the Sea God's Trident is said to weigh 108,000 jin, then this..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the scythe in the center seemed to react. It broke free of its resting place and floated toward Ye Hao, exuding an eerie and chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine.
Xiao Hong chuckled. "Relax, Ye Hao. The scythe is merely intrigued. You're its chosen successor, after all."
The Death God's Scythe slashed at the air, its movements creating visible rifts in space itself. Satisfied, it returned to its original position.
Ye Hao breathed a sigh of relief. The scythe's temperament seemed to match his own.
Xiao Hong added with a grin, "Don't hold a grudge against the scythe. It's been stuck here for tens of thousands of years. Meeting you must be exciting for it."
Ye Hao: "..."
Was it really excitement, or was the scythe simply issuing a warning?
"By the way," Ye Hao asked, "how much does this scythe weigh?"
Xiao Hong smirked. "128,000 jin. Don't worry; it's part of your upcoming trials. It won't be too hard."
With that, she led Ye Hao to the next chamber.
The room was pitch black, the kind where one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
Suddenly, the room lit up, revealing several wooden dummies stationed at the corners. Each dummy stood over two meters tall with reinforced joints and limbs.
Ye Hao's face turned pale at the sight. He glanced at Xiao Hong, who was smirking mischievously.
"Xiao Hong, I have a gift for you," Ye Hao said.
Xiao Hong's interest was piqued. "Oh? You're the first person in millennia to give me a gift. What is it? I'm excited!"
With a sly grin, Ye Hao retrieved something from his storage ring...
...
"Woof! Woof! Woof!!!"
"What the hell! A pair of red underwear?! Are you kidding me?!" Xiao Hong screamed, bolting away as Ye Hao chased her.
Ye Hao laughed. "Nothing much, just thought they'd suit you."
"Suit your grandpa! Stay away from me, or I'll beat you to a pulp!" Xiao Hong yelled.
With his Six-winged Purple Light Wings unfurled, Ye Hao closed the distance and tackled her.
Despite Xiao Hong's desperate struggles, Ye Hao efficiently pinned her down, adorned her with the red underwear, and dusted his hands with a satisfied smile.
Xiao Hong's expression was one of utter despair as Ye Hao walked away, leaving her to fume in embarrassment.
Outside the temple, the Death Spider Emperor basked in the warm sunlight, dozing peacefully.
Suddenly, it noticed movement. Xiao Hong emerged, donning the bright red underwear, her feet barely touching the ground as she stomped angrily.
The sight sent the Death Spider Emperor into peals of laughter.
"Hahaha! Red Bro, what's with the flashy red look? This is too good!"
Xiao Hong: "..."
Already in a foul mood, Xiao Hong's face darkened. Her aura flared as she launched a searing Inferno Blast at the Death Spider Emperor.
The Death Spider Emperor narrowly dodged the fiery attack, realizing too late that its teasing had gone too far.
"Red Bro, I'm sorry! Mercy!"
The spider's cries of agony echoed throughout the temple grounds.
...
After venting her anger, Xiao Hong carefully folded the red underwear. Though initially indignant, she decided to keep it—after all, it was a gift from Ye Hao.
Meanwhile, the Death Spider Emperor limped away, charred and smoking.
"I can't take this anymore. She only bullies me. I need to find someone else to vent on!"
With that, the Death Spider Emperor trudged toward the temple outskirts.
