Chapter 161

  He gazed at the world he was about to enter with a wry smile: "I didn't think it would be this old man's world again... damn, this old man is really... truly formidable! The Three Thousand Great Paths indeed have three thousand worlds. It seems that in the future, I'll still have to pass through this old guy's governed world... Fortunately, this old man now knows not to mess with me, and our karma has also been cleared."

  Ba Fu was about to take his first step into this world, and the world was also very suitable for the play of demonic powers. Just as he stretched out his hand to tear open the outer layer of the world, an old Taoist appeared in front of him...

  Bo Fu had long anticipated that this old man would appear at the first opportunity. "Old fellow, sorry about this. I'm going to have to borrow your road again."

  "It doesn't matter, Brother Bao said. You can do as you please. However, please restrain your power a bit, in case you accidentally burst forth and make everyone lose face..."

  "Don't worry! Rest assured that this family is honest and reliable, I guarantee they won't use their powers recklessly. Are you still thinking of me as the little demon from back then?" Bo Fu said with a snap of his fingers.

  The old Dao then automatically disappeared, and Bo Fu also directly entered this world.

  "Hah! It's been a long time since I've used my own power! Now it really feels refreshing!" Ba Fu stretched his waist and turned his head in mid-air, his demonic energy spreading freely, but he still controlled his power, holding back the vast majority of his demonic energy within himself, only releasing an extremely small amount of demonic aura.

  "A thousand years, one chance, one chance... ah..." A familiar song echoed throughout the world, but - it seemed that not many people or powerful beings heard it...

  "Huh? Isn't this... isn't this the Legend of the White Snake Maiden? So, the main storyline of this world is actually this. Haha, it's quite interesting indeed." As soon as Baifu heard the song, his eyebrows twitched. He let out a hearty laugh and transformed into his true form - a magnificent bird with a body tens of feet long. After another shake of its body, the demon from Journey to the West reappeared in the world...

  "Wahaha! The Great Bird King returns to the arena! Beautiful mature woman, I'm here!" A streak of light flashed across the sky.

  Mount Emei, a thousand-foot giant snake appears in the mountains. The snake's entire body is as white as jade, winding and moving in the mountains, with thunderbolts descending from the sky, but being repelled by the golden divine light on the white snake's body.

  At this moment, Baifu was in the form of a ferocious and evil demon king. He stood far away on Mount Emei, suppressing his demonic aura as he watched the White Snake undergo her heavenly tribulation. "She's actually cultivating a method similar to Buddhist practices? This white snake is indeed capable of endurance... The intensity of this Buddha light and heavenly thunder... She must not have been nourished by blood like ordinary demons, so this heavenly thunder is unexpectedly lenient, not even comparable to the Five Thunder Law casually released by Daoist cultivators." Just as the heavenly thunder was about to dissipate, the White Snake transformed into a beautiful woman. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Bai Niangniang has appeared! This Bai Suzhen... What the?! Isn't she actually Zhao Yanzhi?! Old man Hongjun! Where is your integrity?!"

  Bo Xiang was in a frenzy of spitting out curses, and inadvertently released some demonic energy. Immediately, a huge black cloud appeared in the sky, and purple lightning struck down with a loud "pa" sound, as if it was going to blast Bo Xiang and the mountain beneath him into dust.

  "Which evil spirit is undergoing tribulation on Mount Emei?" A beautiful woman in the distance frowned and said, "This thunder calamity... This demon king must have committed countless evils, provoking heaven's wrath and people's resentment. I wonder how many tens of millions of lives he has devoured..."

  Ba Fu has killed countless lives, and according to his karma, he should have been sent to the 18th level of hell for purification eons ago. However, at this moment, Ba Fu is smirking, gazing sideways at the purple lightning rushing towards him from the sky, as a white light flashes on his body! "The clouds are light and the wind is gentle, a bright moon shines over the river..."

  "Look, I can also sing this kind of song..." Ba Fu muttered to himself as he put away the purple lightning and endless dark clouds. He then effortlessly switched the demonic energy on his body to a heavenly aura, and with a "whoosh", he left just like that. White Su Jing arrived at the scene and searched around again and again, but couldn't see this calamity-crossing demon king anywhere.

  With a leap, he was thousands of miles away. Before his eyes, on the banks of the great river, lay a beautiful city, "The southeastern shape is victorious, and the three Wus are all gathered here. Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The willows and bridges are painted with smoke, the wind screens and green curtains, and there are tens of thousands of households. The clouds and trees surround the dam, the waves roll up the frost and snow, and the heavenly moat is endless. The markets are lined with pearls and jade, the houses are filled with silk and brocade, competing in luxury.

  Deep lakes and layered hills are clear and beautiful, with three autumns of osmanthus fragrans, ten miles of lotus flowers. The shepherd's pipe plays in the clear sky, the song of the water chestnut floats at night, and the playful fish swim among the lotus flowers. A thousand horses surround the high bank, drunk and listening to the xiao drum, reciting and appreciating the misty clouds. On a future day, I will draw this beautiful scene, and return to brag about it by the Phoenix Pool.

  Indeed, Liu Tun's poem has captured the essence of Jiangnan's scenery and charm. This piece "Waves Gazing at the Sea" truly describes the prosperity of Hangzhou. Ba Fu looked at the prosperous Hangzhou city during the Song Dynasty with admiration. Ba Fu transformed back into a normal man and walked into Hangzhou city.

  "A house worth eight hundred taels." The middleman, accompanied by Bo Yu, looked at a mansion near West Lake in Hangzhou and said that the family had died from the plague and no one dared to approach it. Bo Yu found a middleman to buy a house in Hangzhou, but the middleman deceived him as an outsider who didn't know the situation, and deliberately took him to this haunted house that hadn't been sold for years. However, the house was quite good, with five courtyards and a garden with a pond and artificial hills. Bo Yu glanced at it casually and knew, "There's a ghostly aura in this house, but...the price is really cheap." He took out a bright pearl and went to the pawnshop with the middleman, where he exchanged it for a thousand taels of silver on the spot, gave eight hundred taels to the middleman, and even paid an extra ten taels as a tip, making the middleman feel ashamed...

  "Where is the ghost that fears ghosts?" Bo Fu muttered to himself as he instructed the middleman to also buy a few maids, kitchen servants and house slaves from the dental shop on his behalf, after which he stepped into the main house alone.

  At this moment, the sky was already near dusk, and Ba Fu looked at the faintly visible ghost fire in the hall, and didn't bother to talk nonsense with those ghosts. With a flick of his finger, he sent the ghost directly to reincarnation, and then turned around and went to the largest wine house in Hangzhou to prepare for a big feast and overnight stay...

  In the prosperous area of Hangzhou, there were many Qinlou Chuguan. Ba Fu was familiar with the roads and alleys in that place, spending his time leisurely. In a few days, the middleman reported that all the maids, cooks, and housekeepers had arrived, so Ba Fu ordered them to tidy up the rooms first and post a recruitment notice for a housekeeper outside. He also asked the cook to go to the store to buy all kinds of household items, bedding, etc. He himself waved his hand to dismiss the serving maid, placing pearls and treasures in his bedroom, study, and main hall. When those maids and housekeepers entered again, they were amazed, their eyes dazzled, and many of them showed greed in their eyes.

  "It seems that some people have come up with something, let's see what interesting things will happen? I'm looking forward to it - but didn't anyone think about how I managed to bring out so many treasures by myself? Hmm? Not that there isn't, that little girl over there seems to have some ideas, and her eyes are filled with surprise and... fear." Bo Fu coldly observed from the side, thinking to himself, "You few servants arrange the order of sweeping the main hall, study, and bedroom." He pointed at a few maidservants.

  That night, several figures sneaked out of the back door.
