The true daughter, Qin Yuvine, was found and brought back to the Qin family, but she was neither loved nor cared for. Her parents feared making the fake daughter upset, so they favored the fake dau...
Without hesitation, Meng Po took the golden feather robe from her hand, casually placed it aside, then gently pressed her down to sit on the stool, and smiled at King Yama, saying, "Since King Yama has come, there's no need to pack it in a food box to take away and eat it separately. Let's eat together."
Yan Wenjing glanced at her slightly and said, "You are becoming more and more at ease now, so he can rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Meng Po stiffened abruptly, then quickly stood up, took the food out of the food box again, and tried to change the subject: "King Yama, you actually used a magical artifact made of ancient special materials to hold food. This will surely attract jealousy!"
Sensing that she seemed reluctant to talk more, Yan Wenjing went along with her words, saying, "Since something has already been made, it's meant to be used. Otherwise, why would we just keep it as a decoration and let it gather dust?"
Distracted by Meng Po, Qin Yune missed the best time to return the golden silk robe and also missed the time to thank King Yama. He wanted to say something, but felt he had no way to interject.
So she listened quietly to the conversation between King Yama and Meng Po. Seeing that King Yama's words seemed to make Meng Po feel a little uncomfortable, she stood up and prepared to get some bowls and chopsticks.
But as I passed by the door, I was surprised to find that most of the outer wall had been repaired.
It's only taken a short time, yet so much has been repaired. It looks like it won't even take a whole night; it should be finished in about an hour.
Just then, she saw the bricks that no one was moving swaying in one direction, and suddenly her eyelids twitched.
Then I thought of those mystical masters repairing the wall; it might be their mystical arts.
Looking down, she indeed saw a paper figure swaying under a few bricks, carrying several bricks on its back.
Qin Yunie glanced around the courtyard and found that there were quite a few similar scenes. Several of them had a small paper figure under the bricks that were moving.
They are small in size, and if you don't look closely, you can only see a few bricks moving by themselves, which might make you think they are haunted.
There were also one or two magical beasts that appeared, their small bodies carrying dozens of times more weight than the humans themselves.
Seeing this, Qin Yunie stopped looking out of the courtyard, turned around to get the bowls and chopsticks and went back into the house to distribute them.
"King Yama, to express my gratitude for saving my life, Xiao Yu Nie specially prepared this delicious meal. I'm practically getting a free feast today..."
Meng Po watched as Yan Wenjing gracefully picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of food, and put it in her mouth before starting to eat as well. Halfway through her sentence, Qin Yune quickly put a piece of pork rib into her bowl and said with a smile, "This was specially made for you, Sister Meng. Sister Meng, please eat the meat."
Meng Po was immediately drawn to the cumin ribs, and while chewing, she exclaimed in admiration, "Hmm... Little Yu Nie, how did you learn to cook like this?"
Yan Wenjing paused, glanced at Qin Yunie, and said in a low voice, "One should not speak while eating."
Meng Po seemed to have been grabbed by the neck in an instant, and fell silent instantly.
After a long while, he said with emotion, "No wonder they all say that if you eat with the King of Hell, you can eat one less bowl of rice. With this kind of aura, who would dare to move?"
Qin Yune inexplicably thought of the previous times when the Black and White Impermanence had dined with the King of Hell. So that's what they complained about the King of Hell in private.
Despite this, Meng Po wasn't greatly affected and continued to enjoy her meal happily. Only before finally closing her mouth did she mutter softly, "Little Yu Nie, everyone said the hot pot last time was delicious. When can I try that hot pot?"
Qin Yune glanced at the King of Hell and nodded slightly.
She didn't really understand what was wrong with the King of Hell today. There had never been such a rule when they ate together before, and for a moment she didn't dare to speak.
After that, the only sounds at the table were the occasional clinking of bowls and chopsticks and the noise from outside.
A Taoist master smelled the aroma of food wafting from the house and couldn't help but show a longing expression. He looked into the house with longing eyes, rubbed his stomach, and said, "It smells so good. I haven't had dinner yet tonight."
"Who hasn't eaten yet? Everyone wants to eat! Let's get back to work, or if they finish eating and we still haven't finished repairing the wall, we'll be doomed!"
"What do you mean? What just happened? I woke up and was inexplicably called to repair a wall. Weren't we called to help? How did we suddenly become bricklayers?"
"I also want to ask. My memory stops at the time when we attacked together. I vaguely remember that a very powerful force blasted me away, but if that's really the case, how could I still be standing up now? So what exactly happened? How did things turn out like this inexplicably?"
One of the attackers glanced into the house and, seeing that they hadn't come out, sighed and said, "What happened? The truth is, you were all sent flying by Yama's single move! You didn't see Yama appear out of nowhere and turn the tide in one strike. Even now, just thinking about that scene makes my whole body tremble. He was too strong... really too strong. I didn't even dare to breathe back then... The reason we're standing here now is because we were given a kind of elixir."
"The one inside is protected by the King of Hell. Think about what's going on! Right now, the King of Hell is having dinner with them inside. Just pray that he'll spare our lives in a little while, considering how hard we've worked!"
The Xuan Master, who had just made eye contact with the King of Hell, immediately exclaimed, "Damn! So that person was the King of Hell?! No wonder he was so imposing; I didn't dare say a word after just one glance from him! If I had known he had offended one of the King of Hell's men, I wouldn't have come even if he had killed me! Being remembered by the King of Hell is no good! Ah—it's all over, all over..."
They didn't bother to keep their words quiet, and the other Xuan Masters immediately overheard them.
Knowing that they were all implicated by the Xuan Master from the beginning, he was immediately furious and took his anger out on the person who had summoned them in the first place.
In an instant, everyone rushed forward, punching and kicking him, shouting angrily, "Of all people to mess with! Why did you have to provoke someone from the King of Hell's faction! You're practically trying to kill us all!"
Immediately, someone angrily said, "That's right! He wanted to die, and he dragged us down with him! If Senior Brother Li knew he had offended the King of Hell, he'd probably want to devour him!"
When the Taoist master heard their discussion, he realized something was wrong. He tried to hide, but the crowd swarmed around him.
He hurriedly begged for mercy, "I didn't know at first... If I had known, I would never have sought my own death... Please... stop hitting me... Ah—"
