Chapter 60: Girls of the Prostitutes
It took Zhao Li nearly a day and a night by train to reach the Northeast. He immediately contacted the local soul ferryman Tang Fanlin and rushed to Changbai Mountain with the help of Tang Fanlin.

After switching between old cars and trucks, Zhao Licai finally arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
"Brother Zhao, I will only take you here! I won't go with you, I'm scared! Any of the Five Northeastern Immortals can roll me into a ball!" Tang Fanlin opened the car door for Zhao Li with a miserable look on his face.

Zhao Li was furious: "Look at you, you coward! What's there to be afraid of? Hades is behind us, who dares to be cruel to us! Brother Tang, you have to stand up!"

Tang Fanlin looked at Zhao Li, closed his eyes, and shyly took off his robe and the lining of his shirt.

"No, Brother Tang, if you don't want to go, then don't go! I'm not forcing you. This isn't the way of life in our underworld!" Zhao Li got goosebumps all over his body and quickly clenched the Soul-Stirring Knife, ready to stab Tang Fanlin as soon as he hugged him!

"No! Brother Zhao, look for yourself!" Tang Fanlin turned around and showed his smooth back skin to Zhao Li like a brave soldier who died a martyr's death.

The corners of Zhao Li's mouth twitched, and he forced himself to suppress the urge to laugh. He nodded seriously and said, "Brother Tang, after decades, you still love art so much. These five animals are painted so vividly. Hey, there is also a human figure painted under these five animals. It's really, really a work of art!"

Tang Fanlin turned around and put on his clothes one by one, saying with a sad face: "Brother Zhao, it's not that I don't want to accompany you to serve the Hades, but the Five Immortals said that if they see me again, they will paint on my face. I don't know what kind of paint they used, this stuff can't be washed off at all!"

Zhao Li sighed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother Tang, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, not even Hades, I won't let her know!"

Tang Fanlin held Zhao Li's hand that patted his shoulder with both hands, and said with a knowing expression: "Brother Zhao!"

"Go back, Brother Tang! You go ahead, I'll contact you after I've investigated thoroughly!"

"Okay! Brother Zhao, see you later!" Tang Fanlin quickly got on the truck, started the engine, turned the car around, and did it all in one go. Only when the truck disappeared from view did Zhao Li slap his thigh and laugh.

Tang Fanlin on the truck remembered what the fox fairy said: If I see you soul ferrymen again, I will paint all five of you! He also had a gloating smile on his face.

Zhao Li restrained his smile, drew out the Soul-Enchanting Blade, raised his head slightly, and his magic power surged: "Go!" Following the order, the Soul-Enchanting Blade carried Zhao Li into the Changbai Mountain forest.

Only when he felt the two powerful forces wreaking havoc on each other did Zhao Li stop and cautiously come to the battlefield. He lay on a huge rock and looked out.
The familiar man was covered in flames, and every punch and kick carried a fireball as he fired at a woman who was dressed gorgeously and looked pure and beautiful. The woman waved her hands and petals flew into the sky, blocking his punches, kicks and flames.

"Sir, why do you have to do this? What grudge do we have?" The voice was sweet and touching.

"Haha, good." Zheng Wenjie retracted his supernatural power, looked at Yinghua Ji and said, "How come you are so strong?"

Seeing Zheng Wenjie stop, Sakura Princess also retracted her petals, folded her hands gracefully at her waist, and was very elegant in her gestures. She tilted her head and said playfully, "Well, Amaterasu said it was because of love. Love is the most powerful force of the gods. Even if you are a figure like the main god, I am not afraid. Amaterasu said that I am not weaker than the main god."

Zheng Wenjie sneered in his heart. If he didn't want to test out the strength of Star Eyes and its evolution method, Sakura Princess would not be able to last more than ten moves against himself in the battle pattern form. No matter how much she evolved, she would still be just a fourth-generation zombie. However, she could already fight against herself in the zombie state. Is this the power of love?
Zheng Wenjie stared at Sakurahime intently. The gorgeous kimono covered her entire body, leaving out her white swan neck. Her every frown and smile made people feel pure and charming, and her charm was mixed with allure. One glance at her made people feel the burning desire in her.

"You are so beautiful! Hey, come out!" Zheng Wenjie exclaimed, turned his head to look at the place where Zhao Li was hiding, stretched out his hand and waved at him.
Zhao Li took a deep breath, cursing Pluto Ah Cha in his heart, and walked to Zheng Wenjie not far away, smiling: "Sir, it's me! We have met before."

Zheng Wenjie pointed at Zhao Li with his index finger: "I remember you, the soul ferryman Zhao Li! Right?"

"Yes, yes, it is an honor for me that you still remember me. Sir, I still have a mission to complete, so I am afraid I can't chat with you for long, what do you think?"

Zheng Wenjie shook his head and pointed at Sakurahime: "This zombie came from Japan Island. It killed a friend of mine and left him with nothing but his body. See if you can still find its soul."

Sakura Princess lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Zhao Li looked around and cast a spell. His two fingers slid in front of his eyes. His eyes turned golden and he scanned the surroundings. He retracted the spell and said to Zheng Wenjie, "Sir, there are no souls around here. If they died just now, they must have been beaten to death or their souls were taken away by someone."

Zheng Wenjie nodded and looked at Yinghuaji: "You can't possibly beat all five of them to death, right? If you return their souls, I won't stop you and let you go!" Yinghuaji smiled softly and looked up at Zheng Wenjie: "Men's words can't be trusted."

"Sir, she..." Zhao Li just started to speak but was interrupted by Zheng Wenjie: "Call me Zheng Wenjie, or Ajie. You have been a soul ferryman for more than 50 years. I feel uncomfortable when you keep calling me sir."

Zhao Li complained in his heart, but said with a touched look on his face: "Ajie, the clothes she wears are the clothes that the courtesans wore when they were walking around in the Edo period."

"Oiran? Prostitute?"

Zhao Li nodded, turned around and let Zheng Wenjie stand in front of Yinghua Ji and continued, "I've been to Ri Island before and learned a little bit about prostitutes. They call them Yu Nu, women who travel around at will and are not at home."

Princess Sakura gave a friendly laugh: "This lord really knows a lot. At that time, many people despised us in their hearts, but they still praised our beauty."

She turned around gently, raised her slender arm, and a small bunch of petals appeared between her fingers. She chanted softly: "The prostitute wears flowers and snuggles with her partner, she is so graceful, she even folds a lotus to block the sunset."

Zhao Li nodded: "Indeed, the Edo Shogunate at that time also divided prostitutes into three levels: Taifu, Koshi, and Duan. Taifu was the highest level of prostitute, also known as the Oiran."

"She is good at playing the wind and moon, and is proficient in playing all kinds of musical instruments. She is also knowledgeable and interesting, and has a heart full of wisdom. She can be called a devil in the eyes of men, but also a Buddha in the eyes of men."

"She is the Asura that can make men worry about her, and she is also the Happy Buddha that can make men indulge in the beauty of life."

Princess Sakura nodded in agreement, and then said with a sad face: "It's just that Asura and the Laughing Buddha are for people to satisfy their sexual desires, not for protecting the house. After all, they choose wives who are virtuous, kind, innocent, and peaceful."

"Why take us seriously? Just have fun and have fun."

Zheng Wenjie was amused by the two people's chatter: "Amaterasu said that love makes you strong. What kind of love? The love between a prostitute and her client? Men only enjoy themselves and then persuade fallen women to become good women. How could they fall in love with prostitutes? Didn't you say that men's words can't be trusted?"

"He is different. He embarked on a path of no return for me and lost his life. He treated me with tenderness and love as if I were his newlywed wife."

"He died, and I shouldn't have lived alone, but I can still save him. It won't be long before I can see him again and touch him." Sakura said happily.

Zheng Wenjie had a blank expression on his face. He waved his hand to signal Zhao Li to stay away. He looked at Yinghua Ji coldly and said, "As long as you let their souls go and allow them to reincarnate, I will let you go."

Princess Sakura shook her head firmly: "Their souls are already sleeping in the demon pills. Tamamonomae needs them. Only in this way will Tamamonomae help me revive my lover."

Zhao Li couldn't help but interrupt, "Not everyone can take away the soul of the underworld, and resurrection is even more impossible. If your lover hasn't been reincarnated yet, then he is obsessed with it. You should have seen him a long time ago."

"Either he no longer had any obsessions and was able to be reincarnated peacefully, or someone took his soul away. It's hard to say whether his soul has been scattered or not."

Sakura Princess was startled, and her blue eyes shining with starlight stared at Zhao Li blankly: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Li took another step behind Zheng Wenjie nervously, "If your lover didn't reincarnate, then his soul was taken away by someone. In short, it is impossible for him to be resurrected, even if you are the Pangu clan that survived from the ancient land."

"You must have been deceived!"
