Chapter 223: An Unexpected Surprise
Liu Yu and his companions successfully retrieved the Netherworld Pearl, and the Underworld returned to its former tranquility. Just as they were preparing to leave the Underworld, a golden light suddenly flashed, and a mysterious immortal appeared before them.
"You have done well, quelling the chaos in the underworld," the immortal said, stroking his beard.
Liu Yu and the others quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise, Immortal."
The immortal smiled slightly: "I have a reward for you; I can grant each of you one wish."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.
Pigsy blurted out, "Immortal, I, Old Pig, want an endless supply of delicious food, hehe."
The immortal nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, a mountain of delicious food appeared before Pigsy.
"Wow, that's great!" Pigsy pounced on it eagerly.
Xu Xian then said, "Immortal, I hope to become a highly skilled physician and help more people."
The immortal gently raised a finger, and a beam of light entered Xu Xian's body: "From now on, your medical skills will be unmatched."
When it was Xiaoqing's turn, she blushed and glanced at Liu Yu, saying, "Immortal, I hope to be with my sister and brother-in-law forever."
The immortal smiled and granted her wish.
Finally, it was Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen's turn. Bai Suzhen looked at Liu Yu and said, "Immortal, we hope to have a peaceful and happy life without so many ups and downs."
The immortal said, "Very well, I will bestow upon you a secluded paradise-like residence, so that you may live a carefree life."
After he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and Liu Yu and the others appeared in a beautiful mansion.
"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Xiaoqing ran around excitedly.
The mansion has pavilions, terraces, gardens, and ponds, making it a beautiful place.
Liu Yu held Bai Suzhen's hand and said with emotion, "My wife, now we can finally live a peaceful life."
Bai Suzhen smiled gently: "Yes, my husband."
However, their peaceful life did not last long.
One day, Liu Yu was practicing swordsmanship in the yard when Xiao Qing ran over and shouted, "Brother-in-law, something terrible has happened!"
Liu Yu quickly sheathed his sword: "What's wrong, Xiao Qing?"
Xiaoqing gasped for breath and said, "My sister suddenly fell ill and has been unconscious ever since."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu was extremely anxious and immediately ran to Bai Suzhen's room.
"Wife, wake up!" Liu Yu called out anxiously.
Xu Xian was also invited over. He took Bai Suzhen's pulse and frowned.
"How is Xu Xian?" Liu Yu asked.
Xu Xian shook his head: "I can't figure out what's wrong either. What should we do?"
Just as everyone was getting anxious, a mysterious old woman appeared at the door.
“I can cure her,” the old woman said.
Liu Yu was skeptical: "Who are you? Can you really cure my wife?"
The old woman smiled and said, "You'll know once you try."
The old woman entered the room, took out a pill from her bosom, and fed it to Bai Suzhen.
A miracle occurred, and Bai Suzhen slowly opened her eyes.
"My lady, you're finally awake!" Liu Yu excitedly hugged Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen was still somewhat weak: "What's wrong with me?"
Liu Yu told her what had happened.
"Thank you, sir," Bai Suzhen said.
The old woman waved her hand: "No need to be polite, but since I cured her, you have to agree to one condition."
Liu Yu asked, "What are the conditions?"
The old woman said, "I need you to help me find a treasure."
Liu Yu and the others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what the old woman was up to.
The old woman continued, "This treasure is on a mysterious mountain, guarded by all sorts of monsters, making it extremely dangerous."
Xiaoqing said, "Hmph, we're not afraid of any danger!"
The old woman smiled and said, "Alright, then you all get ready and we'll set off tomorrow."
The next day, Liu Yu and the others embarked on their journey to find the treasure.
They chatted and laughed all the way.
Liu Yu said to Xiao Qing, "Xiao Qing, we'll have to rely on you to protect us this time."
Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him: "Brother-in-law, you're always making fun of me."
Bai Suzhen laughed and said, "You two stop fooling around and focus on your journey."
As they walked, they came to a forest.
The forest was eerie and terrifying, with strange cries echoing from time to time.
"Oh dear, I'm a little scared." Xu Xian followed closely behind the others.
Pigsy said, "Xu Xian, how can you, a grown man, be so timid?"
Just then, a giant spider jumped down from the tree.
"Ah!" Everyone was startled.
Liu Yu drew his sword and slashed, shouting, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
After a fierce battle, the spider was finally defeated.
They continued on their journey and encountered all sorts of strange monsters.
But with the concerted efforts of Liu Yu and others, they all escaped danger one by one.
Finally, they arrived at the foot of the mountain the old woman had mentioned.
"This mountain looks really high," Xiaoqing said.
Liu Yu said, "No matter how high it is, we have to go up and find the treasure."
The group began to climb the mountain, but the path was rugged and difficult to traverse.
"Oh dear, I can't walk anymore." Pigsy sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Liu Yu encouraged him, "Bajie, hang in there a little longer."
Just then, a huge rock suddenly rolled down the mountain.
"Watch out!" Bai Suzhen shouted.
Liu Yu leaped into the air and cleaved the boulder in two with a single sword strike.
The group continued climbing and finally reached the summit.
On the mountaintop stood a cave, guarded by two fierce monsters at the entrance.
"This is where the treasure is," Liu Yu said.
"Watch me!" Xiaoqing rushed forward and started fighting the monster.
Liu Yu and others also joined the battle.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the monster and entered the cave.
The cave was filled with all sorts of treasures.
"Which treasure is the old woman talking about?" Xu Xian asked.
Just then, a voice came from the darkness: "You'll never find the treasure, hahahaha!"
Everyone was startled and looked around for the source of the sound.
Suddenly, a dark figure lunged at Liu Yu...
