A rare magical miracle in the world

The fog gradually cleared, and the Fragrant Riverbank bloomed with flowers of all seasons. On the vermilion and brown wooden bridges, people were coming and going. The pink-white sakura trees and peach trees bloomed in competition, blending with the quaint streets and bathing them in a shower of snowy petals. @@novelbin@@

At the end of the gaze, surrounded by green mountains, a grey staircase stretched up from the end of the street, connecting to massive and majestic buildings.

The four stood on the bank, utterly astonished by the scene before them.

"Is this... Hell?"

Qin Yue was dumbfounded, "My god, this isn’t Hell, it’s simply Heaven."

Mortal Fairyland!

Beyond these four words, they could find no adjectives capable of describing this place.

"So beautiful."

Qin Yinyu was composed, having seen much of the world.

She had climbed Mount Everest in her youth and adventured through vast deserts and tropical rainforests, but even Qin Yinyu had never imagined such a paradise.

"Is this a dream? Or an illusion?"

Qin Yue was skeptical, but all four saw the same thing. Ye Ling crouched down and caressed the wildflowers at her feet: "Master was right, when people die, they really can come to such a beautiful place."

Three of them hailed from a modern-like plane of existence, having absorbed information like a flood, their abilities to assimilate it incredibly strong.

Yet curiously, Ye Feng, Qin Yue, and Qin Yinyu were not as accepting as Ye Ling.

Anyone who had lived a lifetime in a world of science would not remain indifferent upon encountering such an event.

"Dingling."

A pleasant tinkling of bells sounded, and the four turned towards it, seeing a woman who had appeared amidst the sea of flowers not far away.

Her golden hair and fluffy fox ears, along with the tail behind her, made it clear she was not human.

"Welcome, travelers from afar."

As the leading Seven Foxes Princess, Jinling was assigned here as a Novice Guide, responsible for explaining and clarifying things for the guests.

"This is... amazing..."

The red and white shrine maiden outfit caught Qin Yue’s eye, and Jinling’s beauty far exceeded Qin Yue’s notions of beauty and attractiveness.

Qin Yue was no lecher; he wasn’t particularly interested in women, preferring instead the characters from a two-dimensional world.

But Jinling’s appearance had overturned Qin Yue’s conclusion that all three-dimensional women were rubbish.

"Thank you for the compliment," she said.

Jinling could see through hearts; although Qin Yue stared intently, his mind harbored no indecent thoughts, so what could one criticize about an appreciation of beauty?

"Who are you, and are you the one who brought us here?"

Qin Yinyu was vigilant, stepping forward to shield the other three.

"I’m just the guide here to receive you," Jinling replied, her voice soothing and calming, subduing the four as she explained: "As for who brought you here, I am of too low status to speak her name directly."

The Night Yaksha Banquet, or Yaksha, the Miracle Entity, ranked in Yatun Duchy only second to Bailuo.

Compared to Yaksha, Jinling was merely a junior Master who had just touched upon Domain Power, the gap was immense.

"Is that person so powerful?" Qin Yinyu asked on behalf of the four, "What does such a powerful person want with us? If the gods or demons require something, we mortals surely can’t refuse, can we?"

Qin Yinyu thought clearly; they were just ordinary mortals.

Even if they were wealthy, they were insignificant in the face of mysterious forces.

So Qin Yinyu’s stance was very clear; they must not anger nor offend these demons and creatures.

"Indeed, she is a significant figure. As for what she wants you to do, since I am here waiting, I will provide a reasonable explanation."

"Let me introduce you first."

Jinling gestured for them to look behind her, towards the land of Fairyland where gods and mystical creatures resided: "The place you are in is called Netherworld Fairyland, a place for nobles to play, relax, and reside."

Netherworld Fairyland!

Ye Feng and the others etched the name into their memories.

"Little An must have told you, it was not us who ’caught’ you and brought you here, but rather you hitched a ride from there to here, or you stepped onto a road shrouded by divine concealment," Jinling said with a smile: "As the saying goes, to meet is to be fated, you needn’t be so cautious, for this may very well be a blessing."

If Jinling bore them no ill will, the opportunity to witness a mystical world and discover ’the truth of the world’ or ’the other side of the world’ would indeed be more worthwhile than any trip.

Especially for Qin Yinyu, who had traveled the globe in her early years, almost exhausting all places within reach.

Now fortunate enough to have arrived in Netherworld Fairyland, her heart indeed thrummed with a small thrill.

"Now, please place your hand, oh, I mean finger," Jinling demonstrated a motion: "on your temple."

The four mimicked Jinling’s gesture, and the next moment, a sentence appeared in each of their minds.

[Let Jinshanshen craft a special weapon for him —— Qin Yue]

[Find Dragon Palace City and obtain the Dragon Princess’s jewelry box —— Ye Feng]

[Become the female innkeeper of Immortal Village Hotel —— Qin Yinyu]

[Defeating the Ghost King of Mount Elai————————Ye Ling]

"Who is Jinshanshen, where is he, and why does he need to forge weapons, and what kind of weapons is he supposed to forge?"

Qin Yue asked Jinling, but the latter just cocked her head and said helplessly, "Sorry, I can’t hear your mission, that’s your path home."

The Cursed Contract was imbued with the mana of Yaksha, and no one but the Miracle Entity and Bailuo could hear the content of their mission.

"The path home!!"

Ye Feng immediately asked, "Do you mean that as long as I can get the jewel box, I can go home?"

When Ye Feng’s words reached Jinling’s ears, they became ’as long as whoosh whoosh whoosh, I can go home?’

"That’s right."

Jinling said, "As long as you complete the Cursed Contract, you can find the way home and then return safely."

"Of course, even after completing the task, you can choose not to leave and just live in Fairyland."

"Is your task to find the jewel box?"

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Qin Yinyu asked, "Can we know each other’s tasks?"

The four immediately shared their respective tasks. Although they had only recently met, Qin Yue went out of his way to bring two strangers while fleeing in his car, which spoke well of his character.

Ye Ling was skilled in physiognomy, and not one among the four present was a deceitful and despicable fraud, so they had no secrets to hide.

Qin Yinyu was a strong-willed woman, who never thought of retreating when faced with challenges but instead took the lead and stood out, proving to be very reliable.

"These four tasks are quite interesting."

Qin Yinyu said, "Gods, dragons, ghost kings, just three tasks and already there are three creatures from mythology."

So what exactly were they doing, undergoing the trial of gods, and to what end?

"Is there a time limit for these tasks, within how many days must they be completed?"

"There is, and there isn’t."

Jinling wiggled her fingers, and four lucky pouches fell into their hands: "There’s no time limit, but you have to stay alive, that’s the precondition."

"Inside these lucky pouches are 30 small silver coins, which can be exchanged for 3000 copper coins in this world, equivalent to 3000 of your world’s currency."

"You can use it to do anything in Netherworld Fairyland."

"But remember, food, clothing, shelter, and transport are all included in these 30 small silver coins," Jinling added, "so please live well in Netherworld Fairyland. During this period, I cannot offer you any assistance."

"That’s it?"

Qin Yinyu snatched Qin Yue’s lucky pouch in one go, leaving her brother bewildered, "Sis, what are you doing?"

"Saving it for you so you don’t spend it carelessly and starve yourself."

Not only that, but Qin Yinyu was also testing one thing, whether the money was bound to them or could be taken by others.

The result was that Jinling had no reaction at all, clearly indicating the answer—it could be taken!

"Can you do anything?"

"Anything!"

Ye Feng asked this question and continued unabashedly, "Then how much money is needed to hire you?"

Qin Yinyu didn’t expect Ye Feng to come up with this idea and started to recognize him: ’Qin Yue is just a stinky little brother who needs my supervision, and Ye Ling, though strong, is too naive and probably doesn’t know how to manage money.’

Compared to these two, Ye Feng was a partner Qin Yinyu could cooperate with.

Their goal was the same—to return home.

Jinling had not specified that only one of the four could go back, which also meant they had no reason to become enemies.

"Oh?"

As a member of the Fox Clan, Jinling was naturally cunning; she smiled slyly and said, "Money isn’t needed for my living, so no amount could possibly buy me."

Money was basically useless on Yatun Island, just like for Jinling, who only needed Bailuo’s affection.

"I see."

Ye Feng and Qin Yinyu exchanged glances, both catching the subtext in Jinling’s words.

Jinling couldn’t be bought because she didn’t need money.

On the flip side, could it mean that inhabitants of Immortal Village who did need money could be bought?

"Also, this is for you."

Jinling produced four small booklets: "Even gods have divine rules, and these booklets list what you aren’t allowed to do."

If it only listed what they couldn’t do, then everything unmentioned was allowed, right?

[It is forbidden to kill fellow hidden guests]

Qin Yue hadn’t expected that the laws here would prioritize their personal safety so highly, "Is it a law-abiding society, even in the world of gods?"

"Without rules, there is no square. The nobles do not wish for any casualties among you."

Though it was a small detail, it showed that this world was well-intentioned towards them.

"So now..."

Qin Yinyu looked at Jinling, just as the golden-haired celestial fox opened her fan and her figure began to fade slowly, "Please enjoy your sightseeing freely, and may you leave beautiful memories in Fairyland."
