Chapter 336: So-so
The things that lived in the River of Forgetfulness were not kind. Hence, Lu Sheng did not find it surprising that the water would emit such a smell.
However, she was curious what the things in the water looked like.
She pondered for a moment and turned back to ask Chu Sihan, “I heard that when you entered the cycle of reincarnation, you once went to the River of Forgetfulness?”
Chu Sihan smiled and nodded.
“Are the things at the bottom of the river powerful?”
“So-so.”
The boatman smiled.
He had been on this ferry for countless years. No one knew better than him how powerful the thing under the River of Forgetfulness was.
Back then, when His Highness entered the River of Forgetfulness, even the King of Hades was worried.
It was just that they did not expect His Highness to be stronger than they had imagined. Not only did he successfully cross the River of Forgetfulness, but he also managed to subdue the things below.
After that, Chu Sihan moved the Water Palace to the opposite side of the River of Forgetfulness. Every time he crossed the river, there were no waves on the surface of the River of Forgetfulness.
It could be said that in the entire Netherworld, other than the King of Hades, only Chu Sihan dared to say that the things at the bottom of the river were ordinary.
Although Lu Sheng had never seen or fought with anything at the bottom of the river, from the aura just now, she knew that the things at the bottom of the river were not simple.
However, seeing Chu Sihan’s calm expression, she felt that the things at the bottom of the river might not be that powerful.
The bamboo raft reached the sh.o.r.e quickly.
Lu Sheng and the boatman nodded and allowed Chu Sihan to lead her down the bamboo raft.
On the River of Forgetfulness’s side, there was no other palace except for Water Palace.
After the two of them entered the palace, Lu Sheng realized that the entire Water Palace was silent. There was not even a ghost.
“Lord, is your palace unguarded?”
After following Chu Sihan for a while, Lu Sheng could not help but ask.
“Guards?”
Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “No need for them.”
River of Forgetfulness was the best guard in Water Palace.
He had three subordinates, but they were all unreliable.
One was Yun Guagua, who loved playing mahjong with a bunch of female ghosts.
As for the other two, one was called Ai Shui. Other than sleeping, he slept every day.
One was called Jiang Zhong. He was more reliable than the other two, but he had an unfulfilled wish. Hence, he carried a chair to the Bridge of Helplessness every day and sat there for the entire day.
He said that he had a girl he liked when he was alive. After she died from an illness, he gave up the chance to reincarnate. He waited for that girl on the Bridge of Helplessness every day. However, after so many years, he did not even see her.
Yun Guagua told him that the girl had either become a deity or a wandering ghost in the human world.
When Jiang Zhong heard that, he specially returned to the human world to find her. However, he did not see her wandering soul when he returned to his hometown.
After returning, he insisted on waiting on the Bridge of Helplessness every day.
Hence, Chu Sihan was not surprised that there was no one in the Water Palace.
“Are you the only one living in this huge palace?”
“I guess.”
The journey from the River of Forgetfulness to the Water Palace was filled with Red Spider Lilies.
There were even many plants in the depths of the palace.
Just like the Red Spider Lilies on the main road of the Netherworld, they shook their heads excitedly when they saw Chu Sihan.
However, Chu Sihan ignored them and brought Lu Sheng to his accommodation in the Netherworld.
