Wow, my husband werewolf

Seven: Yellow Immortal

Who are all these people?!

I was immediately astonished. Are they the celestial beings?!

Speaking of celestial beings, I've only really seen what Hu Fenglou looks like. I originally thought all celestial beings would be cultivators and look like Hu Fenglou, fair and beautiful, but after seeing the crowded celestial beings in the room, I realized they weren't all as beautiful as gods. Apart from a few who were quite attractive, most of them looked no different from ordinary people, and some didn't even have a proper human form, looking more like upright walking animals.

The main reason I could see these celestial beings at this moment was that Hu Fenglou was currently in my body. Hu Fenglou then got up from the bed with me, and fortunately, I was wearing pajamas when I went to bed last night, otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.

"Thank you, all celestial beings, for coming to support us. Today, my disciple and I are here to select celestial beings to join our hall, but not just any tom, d**k, or harry can enter!"

When Hu Fenglou spoke to these celestial beings in my voice, he was full of arrogance, as if our hall was of such high status. It's only because he's in my body right now, otherwise, I'd really want to say, nobody should enter our hall, and let Hu Fenglou be the lone commander.

Our hall's establishment is like holding a job fair. Celestial beings willing to join our hall must come for an interview. After passing our review, they become celestial beings of our hall, and I must place their plaques alongside Hu Fenglou's, offer incense and fruits daily, and call upon them to deal with matters when needed.

"Master Hu, can I join your hall?"

"Choose me, choose me, I'm highly skilled in medicine."

"Me, me, me..."

...

When Hu Fenglou finished speaking, the continuous cries rose and fell around me. After all, it's said that Hu Fenglou is very powerful, and following him might greatly increase the chances of achieving enlightenment.

Hu Fenglou cares a lot about this hall, and now seeing so many celestial beings wanting to join, he must be happy. I thought he would definitely pick a bunch of celestial beings to fill the large space of our hall.

But to my surprise, amidst all the shouting, Hu Fenglou's gaze swept around, and he didn't choose any of the raised hands. Instead, he finally focused on a child in the corner, dressed in yellow, short in stature, and looking around the room. He pointed at him and said, "You, I choose you, Huang Xiaopao."

Has Hu Fenglou lost his mind? There are so many celestial beings in this room, and he didn't choose the experienced or the strong ones. Instead, he picked a seven- or eight-year-old child out of thousands!

The boy, seemingly surprised that Hu Fenglou chose him, paused for a moment before running quickly to Hu Fenglou's side. With a grin, he said, "Hu Fenglou, you can't choose me today. I'm Huang Xiaopao, the most famous message-bearing celestial being in the three northeastern provinces. I've already taken on tasks for dozens of halls. You're too late!"

This child, named Huang Xiaopao, had a mischievous look. It's hard to say whether he was good-looking or not, but he exuded a lively and spirited aura, with his small eyes constantly darting around.

"Since you've already taken on so many halls, why did you come here today?"

Hu Fenglou wasn't in a hurry when Huang Xiaopao said he didn't want to join the hall. Instead, he slowly opened a bottle of Maotai, the aroma filling the air.

"This place isn't just yours. I'm just here to see the excitement. Is that not allowed?"

As Huang Xiaopao stubbornly spoke, his eyes were glued to the Maotai that Hu Fenglou had opened. I even saw him swallow a couple of times, apparently tempted.

"What's in here? Why does it smell so good?"

Huang Xiaopao asked knowingly, leaning over the table where the liquor was placed, gripping the edge tightly, his eyes almost popping out as he gazed at the bottle.

"What is it?!" Hu Fenglou chuckled and said, "Red Beam Thin Water. Do you want to drink it?!"

Red Beam Thin Water is what celestial beings call liquor when they are in human form. They have official names for certain things, like calling an incense burner a treasure tripod, a girl a flower face, and a rooster a little phoenix.

"I do."

Huang Xiaopao answered crisply and reached for the bottle. But just as he was about to grab it, Hu Fenglou raised the bottle

with my hand and said, "You can drink this Red Beam Thin Water, but you have to agree to join my hall and work for it. As long as you agree, I'll let my disciple offer you liquor, little phoenixes, and yellow strips every day."

Yellow strips mean incense.

To get Huang Xiaopao to join the hall, Hu Fenglou asked me to offer incense and chickens to this kid every day. Is this feeding an animal? He acts as if buying chickens costs nothing.

Although I'm not happy right now, I can't say a word. I can only hope that Huang Xiaopao has enough willpower not to be bought by Hu Fenglou's small favors. But to my surprise, as soon as Hu Fenglou finished speaking, Huang Xiaopao shamelessly said to Hu Fenglou, "Okay, give me a sip of wine, and anything will do!"

With that, Huang Xiaopao jumped onto me, grabbed the wine bottle from my hand, and drank it straight from the bottle, as if afraid someone would steal his wine.

Seeing Huang Xiaopao agree to stay, Hu Fenglou picked a few beautiful female celestial beings from the crowd that had come with us and asked them to stay, while telling all the other celestial beings to leave.

The night before, Hu Fenglou told me that a good hall could have hundreds of celestial beings, but now he only picked Huang Xiaopao and appointed him as the Transmission Hall Master, equivalent to the head of the transmission department. From then on, Huang Xiaopao would manage the transmission of various messages. Until he had subordinates, he would also need to scout for clients, investigate the reasons why clients were haunted by evil spirits, report back, and then guide the clients to our hall for consultation.

As for the other female celestial beings that Hu Fenglou had chosen to stay, according to him, the hall also needed those who could sing and dance to entertain the other celestial beings.

I think he just wants to entertain himself. It's just a hall, and he's acting like he's the Jade Emperor.

After all the celestial beings had left, Hu Fenglou left my body. The strange feeling of having a bead stuck in my throat was gone, but as soon as Hu Fenglou left my body, I couldn't see Huang Xiaopao, who had just been drinking happily in front of me. My vision was completely blank!

"Why can't I see Huang Xiaopao anymore?" I turned and asked Hu Fenglou.

Hu Fenglou scoffed at me, "Because you haven't opened your seven orifices and your celestial eye yet. Once you do, you'll be able to see everything like me."

Now, no matter what, I'm Hu Fenglou's disciple. I'll definitely encounter other spiritual beings in the future. If I can't see anything, how can I help him with his work? If something wants to harm me, I can't even know what it is!

So I asked Hu Fenglou, "When will you help me open my seven orifices and celestial eye?"

Before Hu Fenglou could answer, I heard a clatter as the bottle on the table rolled onto the floor. A drunken yellow weasel appeared on the table, its yellow fur shiny and bright, with a bloated white belly from drinking, wobbling on the table. It said to me, "Don't worry! You're Hu Fenglou's disciple, and once I, Huang Xiaopao, join your hall, you'll be my disciple too! I've drunk your wine, so I'll go find some work for you. A few days ago, when I passed by an old man's house by the river, I noticed something was causing trouble there. I'll go investigate and then have them come to you for consultation!"

I hadn't even agreed yet! The weasel burped and staggered out along the wall corner.

Hu Fenglou didn't seem worried that Huang Xiaopao would bring us any trouble. He continued the conversation I had started earlier and said, "If you don't open your seven orifices and celestial eye, you won't even know if there's something dirty standing next to you in the future. Doing our line of work without an opened celestial eye is like being blind; you'll be dead in three steps. But it's not difficult for me to help you open your celestial eye. However, I have a condition. You have to agree to it."
