After breathing down, I got to the Lord of the Underworld

years later.

After the first day of the new year, Fengdu City became more and more lively, because ghosts and gods from all over the underworld began to visit Fengdu City to pay New Year greetings to the emperor.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one after another here, almost the last wave of ghosts and gods has just left, and the next wave of ghosts and gods has already entered the door.

In the past, Pei Ji didn't like to make noise, so the New Year's greetings were mostly high-status ghosts and gods who were familiar with Pei Ji, but this year it was different.

"Isn't there an empress this year? Of course, all the ghosts and gods have to come over to make acquaintances." Lianyi explained to Xu Zhaoxi as a matter of course, thinking to himself and the emperor didn't refuse when he asked.

Xu Zhaoxi, who hid in the back hall to breathe, sighed and muttered softly, "Even if it's not a banquet, it's almost the same."

There was no social fear at first, but after today's business from morning to afternoon, I am about to suffer from social fear.

Lianyi covered her lips and smiled at him.

It was the Western Ghost Emperor and the Central Ghost Emperor who were talking to Pei Ji in the main hall. Xu Zhaoxi didn't know each other, so when they met, they hid in the back hall to chat with Lianyi.

Not long after I said a few words, I suddenly heard the male ghost's voice transmission in my mind: "Niannian, Shentu is here."

Way way son?He knows this!

Shen Tu doesn't know that I already know his identity, so I can tease him later.Xu Zhaoxi regained his energy and waved goodbye to Lianyi: "Shentu is here, I'll go in and play for a while!"

Lianyi should be, while secretly thinking that the emperor would find a way to call her away if the empress stayed with her for a few minutes longer, alas, it is difficult to be a maid these days.

In the beginning, the empress had to be wary of liking the emperor, but of course the empress is not wary of her now, and occasionally gossips with her.

On the other hand, Dijun obviously didn't worry about it at all at first, but now he always guards against her staying with the empress.

Lianyi shook his head, and then directed his attendants to go in and get new tea for the guests.

"Tu Tuzi, why are you here?" Entering the main hall, Fang asked from the soul as soon as he saw the familiar figure Xu Zhaoxi from behind.

Shen Tu, whose back was facing him, froze for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at Dijun for help, and Dijun drank tea without squinting.

He looked at the stinky brother again for help, and the stinky brother drank tea without squinting.

Shentu: ...

It wasn't his original intention to conceal his identity. Why on earth did he make himself into what he is today?

Turning around stiffly, Shentu waved to Xu Zhaoxi like a beckoning cat: "Hi, happy new year."

While nervously thinking about love, how should he answer when his younger brother asked him why he came to pay New Year's greetings?Can the courier boy go to the Emperor Fengdu's house to pay New Year's greetings?

This must be the friendship of how many couriers have been delivered?

"Happy New Year," Xu Zhaoxi responded with a smile, and added at the end, "Shen Tu." After greeting Yu Lei, he went to sit down next to the male ghost.

Hearing him call out "Shen Tu, Yu Lei" accurately, Shen Tu immediately recalled it, turned his head and said in disbelief, "You already knew my identity?"

Xu Zhaoxi nodded obediently: "Yes."

Shen Tu's head is getting bigger, since Brother Qing already knew about it, why did he go to such lengths to hide his identity?Yu Lei next to him complained indifferently: "Because you are stupid."

The two ghosts didn't stay much longer, and after a while, King Chujiang came to Xu Zhaoxi and did the same thing again.

But Li Wen obviously expected this long ago, he only smiled softly and said: "I guessed it when I found out that you were not surprised by my sudden overtime."

It must be what the emperor said to Xu Zhaoxi.

Xu Zhaoxi still had a little lack of confidence towards Li Wen, so he took the opportunity to explain: "The matter of working overtime... Well, anyway, I really told my brother that you came to me before I promised you."

"Actually, it doesn't matter when you say it." Li Wen still had self-knowledge about this, and looked helplessly at the calm male ghost beside him, "Dijun will still let me work overtime."

Pei Ji said: "Because I knew you would be lazy."

So I don't bother to ask, and it is definitely not wrong to add work directly.

Li Wen looked at Xu Zhaoxi with a "look" expression, Xu Zhaoxi laughed twice, and encouraged Li Wen: "Come on, work harder, brother can get off work earlier!"

Li Wen: "?"

Is my exploitation already undisguised?

He came to pay New Year's greetings, and when Li Wen left, he received a return gift from the emperor for the first time - extra work after taking leave.

Xu Zhaoxi saw that he was too unlovable, so he gave him a small snack carefully cooked by the cook.Smart ghosts just need to work more!

After the new year, the two ghosts stayed in Fengdu City for several days, and when all the respectable ghosts and gods finished their New Year greetings one after another, Xu Zhaoxi and Pei Ji prepared to return to Xiaoxi Village.

Before leaving, Xu Zhaoxi took Pei Ji to choose gifts in the warehouse.

Ghosts and gods will not come empty-handed to pay New Year's greetings. This storeroom is the New Year's gifts received this year. Rare jade and gemstones can be seen everywhere here, and they can only be regarded as extras. Most of them are almost extinct things such as spiritual jade.

Among the ghosts and gods, Shen Tu Yulei gave the most special gift. Xu Zhaoxi looked at a peach bigger than his head in the wooden box and asked Pei Ji, "Is this the fruit of the big peach tree on Dushuo Mountain?"

Pei Ji nodded.

Xu Zhaoxi: "Can I eat now?"

Pei Ji touched him: "Wait a few more days. The peach tree's core comes from the flat peach tree of the Holy Mother of Yaochi in Heavenly Court. The one sent by Shen Tu should be the first batch of fruits from the peach tree. It is full of spiritual energy. You can eat it after merging with the mountain soul."

Seeing Xu Zhaoxi after speaking, he still stared at Tao Zi: "If you really want to eat..."

"No," Xu Zhaoxi took the hand of the male ghost who wanted to take the peaches, and said thoughtfully, "Didn't I always think about what to plant on the mountain before?"

"Brother, what do you think of planting the leftover pit of this peach?" He turned his head and asked.

Pei Ji sighed: "It's not that good, the spirit tree needs too much spiritual energy to grow, I'm afraid it will suck you dry."

Xu Zhaoxi: "Isn't there an older brother?"

The male ghost paused slightly: "...If you plant the fruits that have been produced in recent years, it's not impossible."

Xu Zhaoxi finally picked out two small bottles of spirit essence, and then brought Lianyi to Luofeng City to buy special products, and returned to Xiaoxi Village with Pei Ji.

Every household in the village is celebrating the New Year, and Xu Zhaoxi was surprised to find that the fruit trees he planted were in bloom, and the lacrimal fruit branches also bore small fruits.

He first went around the field, then took the special products he bought to the familiar Uncle Han's house and Uncle Zhong's family to pay New Year's greetings, stayed for a while, and finally brought the remaining special products and gifts with Pei Ji The spirit marrow went to Qingyun Town next door.

Before leaving, Xu Zhaoxi called Yuebai to ask about it, and learned that Yuebai and the two old ghosts were at home now.

They came to the door with gifts, but the second elder was surprised. While welcoming them into the house, he said that they were too polite and there was no need to buy so many things.

The two elders have lived in the Underworld not long ago, and they don't have many acquaintances.It's usually fine, but when the New Year's day comes, the house is very deserted, so Xu Zhaoxi is very welcome to bring Pei Ji to visit for New Year's greetings.

"Happy New Year to grandpa and grandma," Xu Zhaoxi called out sweetly, while introducing Pei Ji, "This is my brother, named Pei Ji."

Pei Ji nodded to the two ghosts, and was about to speak.

Yue Bai was afraid that the Great Emperor Fengdu, who had lived for an unknown amount of time, would open his mouth and follow Xu Zhaoxi and call out "grandparents", wouldn't that shorten the lifespan of his grandparents?

He hurriedly said before the other party could speak: "Oh, brother Pei, what kind of gifts do you bring when you come here? What a surprise!" He declined, but took the bag honestly in his hand.

Seeing what he meant, Pei Ji followed the good advice, skipped the address and said with a smile: "It's a specialty of Luofeng City."

"Luofeng City? I heard it's in the north." The second elder said in surprise.

Pei Ji briefly introduced the customs and ghosts of Luofeng City to the two elders.

Xu Zhaoxi pulled Yuebai aside and confessed privately: "There are two small bottles packaged as nutritional products inside, which contain spiritual marrow. They are good things given by ghosts and gods. Don't be foolish and take them away from relatives."

"Where do I have any relatives in the underworld besides my grandparents?" Yue Bai barked, and then shook Xu Zhaoxi's neck vigorously, "I still think about my brother when I have good things, and I don't love you for nothing!"

The two ghosts muttered for a while, and Grandma Yue on the other side of the room suddenly called Yue Bai: "Yue Bai, the house is boring, take Xiao Xu and Xiao Pei out for a stroll."

"Hey!" Yue Bai hurriedly responded.

After the three ghosts walked outside, Yuebai said to little Pei Pei Ji, "I'm sorry Brother Pei, my grandma has no other intentions."

Pei Ji, who was not angry with this title, shook his head: "Don't worry."

He really didn't care about the title, and Xu Zhaoxi went to Yuebai's house to play several times in the Yangshi, sometimes until it was too late, and he even met the second elder when he went to pick him up.

"Why are you still twitching?" Xu Zhaoxi gave Bai Yuebai a look, and gave advice to his friend, "Just pretend that you don't know about my brother's other identity."

"What you said is simple," this can be easily solved with just a few words, Yue Bai was too lazy to argue with the big-hearted Xu Zhaoxi, and asked him, "Do you want me to take you for a stroll or you and Brother Pei yourself?" visit?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course we are going shopping by ourselves," Xu Zhaoxi waved at him, "Kneel down."

Yue Bai flicked his sleeves like a little eunuch: "Hey."

Xu Zhaoxi is no stranger to Qingyun Town. After Yue Bai left, he took Pei Ji to the nearby hills for a walk. After climbing to the top of the hill, he pointed to an orchard below and said, "That's it. I bought the fruit trees in that orchard."

Then I was introduced to buy several kinds.

Pei Ji walked with him from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. During this period, he would occasionally reply a message or two while avoiding Xu Zhaoxi's sight.

Xu Zhaoxi noticed it and asked him, "Are you still working during the Spring Festival holiday?"

Pei Ji smiled and said, "It's not work, I just asked Shen Tu to help prepare something."

Xu Zhaoxi: "Huh? What are you preparing for?"

Pei Ji: "Isn't Niannian's birthday coming soon?"

Xu Zhaoxi's birthday wasn't his date of birth. Besides, he didn't know his date of birth before he died. He had been living the day set for him by the director after he entered the orphanage.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is indeed approaching.

From Pei Ji's tone, it seemed that a surprise was prepared for him on his birthday, so Xu Zhaoxi has been looking forward to it ever since he knew about it.

But what came before the surprise was the gift prepared by Yue Bai.

Yue Bai, who came out of the dream company, chased after Xu Zhaoxi who was walking in front and asked, "How is it? Is this dream interesting?"

Xu Zhaoxi took a deep breath, turned around and said to his unaware friend, "Yuebai, this gift let me know that there is a reason why you have been single for so long, so reflect on it."

Said and patted each other's shoulder.

In the past, it was fine to send books and food with Daliu, but this time he really couldn't understand the content of the customized dream.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm single because I haven't found someone I like." Yue Bai denied his words, "If I like a girl, I will definitely give her a sweet dream."

Xu Zhaoxi: "?"

"So that's why you let me run for my life in the dream to fight monsters?" Just because I'm not the girl you like, I'm just an ordinary male brother?

Yue Bai stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders and asked righteously, "Isn't it exciting?"

I thank you I'm so exciting!

"By the way, do you have any arrangements with Brother Pei tonight?" Yue Bai asked again, trying to buy time for Brother Pei.

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I saw the male ghost walking this way at the corner of the street. The hand on the friend's shoulder changed from a hug to a push, urging: "Go quickly, your arrangement is here."

Xu Zhaoxi also saw the male ghost not far away, waved goodbye to his friend and trotted over: "Brother~ Where shall we have dinner tonight?"

They have been living in Xiaoxi Village for the past few days. They don't know where the surprise prepared by brother is. Do they need to go back to Fengdu City?

"Take Niannian to a place first," said the male ghost.

Ha, I guessed it!

Concealing the excitement in his heart, Xu Zhaoxi asked cooperatively: "Should I close my eyes first?" Without waiting for an answer, he closed his eyes first.

At the same time, I thought in my heart, where will my brother take him?

Dushuo Mountain?Although the scenery of Dushuo Mountain is beautiful, I have only been there not long ago.

Great Wasteland?It is possible, there is a large sea of ​​flowers there...

Mangshan?Hey, the atmosphere doesn't match.

Or where in Yangshi?

When Xu Zhaoxi was distracted thinking about it, Pei Ji took his hand, and the destination arrived in no time.

Xu Zhaoxi, who honestly closed his eyes, didn't know where he was taken. He only knew that the surrounding was very quiet, but he could hear the weakened sound of a whistle from a distance.

He guessed that he was still in the city, and at this moment he suddenly felt some strength in holding his hand.

It was very sudden, as if the mood was out of control for a moment, and it quickly reacted and adjusted.

What is brother thinking?Unexpectedly emotional instability.Xu Zhaoxi wanted to open his eyes secretly.

"Every year."

The male ghost's voice startled Xu Zhaoxi, who had just had a wrong thought, quickly closed his eyes tightly, thinking that his little thought had been discovered.

But Pei Ji just called him, but he didn't speak after shouting, just put a cool thing on the ring finger of his left hand.

Xu Zhaoxi, whose heart skipped a beat, couldn't help but open his eyes, and saw the male ghost who had been watching him all the time, curling up his lips and smiling softly.

"Brother..." He murmured, subconsciously raising his left hand.There is an extra ring on it, the ring is clear and light yellow, as if made of jade.

"Because I didn't want to hear the words of rejection, I put it on for Niannian." Pei Ji said, and after speaking, he raised the hand wearing the ring and kissed it.

Xu Zhaoxi's heart was still beating now, and she retorted in a low voice with a blushing face: "Who said I would refuse." He is upright, okay, if you want to refuse, you will welcome it, which is not suitable for him.

Staring at his hand beautifully for a while, he suddenly remembered: "Where's brother's? Brother won't wear it by himself, right?"

Pei Ji: "No."

Xu Zhaoxi actively took out another matching ring from the male ghost's trouser pocket, and said solemnly: "From now on, Pei Ji will be Xu Zhaoxi's partner."

Then put the ring on the male ghost's hand.

"I originally wanted to use the Sansheng Stone as the material of the ring, and we could engrave our names on it." That is fate, and this life will last for a long time and will not end.

Pei Ji said, pinching the kid's face with his ring-wearing hand, "It's a pity that the Sansheng Stone is with Po Meng. We'll change it when Po Meng comes back in a few years."

Hearing what he said, Xu Zhaoxi subconsciously wondered why Po Meng didn't come back sooner... No, no, no, isn't this hoping that others will die sooner, it depends on how much life there is in the book of life and death.

"Will you marry me every year?"

At this time, Xu Zhaoxi, who was wearing the ring, was beautiful and answered this question without thinking: "I have all the rings on, and you still ask me this?"

"Okay, I'll just agree." Pei Ji said with a smile, took his hand and turned around.

Xu Zhaoxi was puzzled until he looked up and saw the words on the building in front of him: Civil Affairs Bureau.

He was so surprised that his eyes opened rounder than usual, my God, what a good day, with a ring and a certificate?He wants to celebrate his birthday every day!

After a while, the two ghosts came out with the red book in their hands. Xu Zhaoxi flipped through the red book with his ring-wearing hands, looking at his hand and at the book, his eyes were so busy.

Then I heard the male ghost say:

"Every year, happy wedding."

"Happy birthday."

"Happy Lantern Festival."

"By the way, I entertained some ghosts and gods tonight."

Xu Zhaoxi, who was about to be happy after receiving the blessing, immediately became vigilant: "How much did you invite?"

Pei Ji said: "Not many, only a few dozen."

Not many dozens?The ghost emperors of the five directions, the ten halls of Yan Luo, and the four judges of Yan Luo are not enough!You agreed not to hold a banquet to announce it to the world, you fooled me!

"Yuebai will be brought over by Shentu."

Xu Zhaoxi pursed his lips in displeasure, Pei Ji hugged him, and Xu Zhaoxi immediately felt the same restless heartbeat in the male ghost's chest.

"I'm very happy every year." The male ghost whispered.

Well, for the sake of getting the certificate today.

He hugged the male ghost back: "Happy newlywed brother~"
