21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 187 Worshiping the Gods

After dinner, Chen Yu naturally set out for Kawakami Cemetery with Jounouchi Hiromi to visit Little Rice Princess.

As for Audis, this time it didn't need to stay home to keep watch, since all of Chen Yu's necromancy-related items had already been moved to the Necromantic Space, and the area around his and Jounouchi Hiromi's new home was safe enough not to require Audis to stay behind for house-sitting.

So this time, Audis could accompany Chen Yu out.

Still, its expression was quite sour, for it was being held in Jounouchi Hiromi's arms and stroked occasionally.

The two people and one cat took a combination of subway and bus before finally arriving at Kawakami Cemetery.

Looking at the place where he had lived for many years, Chen Yu couldn't help shaking his head, feeling somewhat sentimental about it. But this was only human nature; if it weren't for Jounouchi Hiromi, Chen Yu might have continued to live there, dealing with corpses all day, and it's possible that he would have grown darker and darker as a person.

Life is unpredictable, and perhaps even a small event can change a person's destiny, unless one can reach a height great enough to pull one's fate out of the river of time. Otherwise, neither humans nor deities can escape the control of destiny.

Chen Yu banished these idle thoughts from his mind. Pulling one's fate from the river of time, though he knew the method, was something not even gods could necessarily manage, and was far beyond his current reach.

In the language of the Celestial Empire mythology, it would mean stepping out of the Three Realms and not being within the Five Elements, something that ordinary immortals and buddhas could not achieve.

"I know! This smelly cat once stole my offerings! It was my favorite fish cake! You stinky cat!" Upon seeing Audis, Little Rice Princess immediately remembered the grudge of having her offerings stolen in the past and flew towards Audis, intending to hit him with the Shenluo bell she held.

Seeing this, Chen Yu quickly reached out to grab Little Rice Princess in mid-air and tried to appease her, "Let it go, let it go! You are a deity; there's no need to lower yourself to a cat's level. For my sake, please forgive it."

Still holding a grudge, Little Rice Princess glared at Audis and pretended to kick him several times in the air before gradually calming down her anger.

"Little Rice Princess, you just mentioned that there are many souls reluctant to leave Kawakami Cemetery, but why haven't I encountered them every time I've come here?" Chen Yu asked, curious as he watched Little Rice Princess return to her shrine and sit on its roof.

However, Little Rice Princess looked at him as if questioning his intelligence and, rather annoyed, pointed in the direction of Chen Yu's former apartment, "When you first moved in, you immediately dealt with the haunted house over there. The screams of that evil spirit on that night could be heard throughout Kawakami Cemetery. Who would dare to show themselves in front of you now?

And last time, the ceremony you held here was to open the Gate of the Underworld, right? It scared all the ghosts in the cemetery half to death, so none of them dare to show themselves in front of you anymore."

Hearing Little Rice Princess's explanation, Chen Yu couldn't help but touch his nose sheepishly. He had chosen to live here precisely because the place was near the cemetery and was a haunted house, and it was cheap. He hadn't expected that his antics with the evil spirit on the first night would result in all the ghosts of the hill being too scared to show up.

Initially intimidated by the appearance of Little Rice Princess, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but laugh when she heard the conversation between her and Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, you truly have a formidable reputation! You can even scare ghosts to the point where they dare not show themselves in front of you! Hahaha!"

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by his fiancée's teasing, Chen Yu shook his head helplessly and turned back to Little Rice Princess to ask, "By the way, Little Rice Princess, how is that friend I brought here last time doing? Didn't you say you would introduce her to Lord Miketsu to become a Divine Servant?" Discover hidden stories at empire
