"That scared me to death!"

Jiang Li finished his work and returned to his lair. He collapsed onto the stone bed, clutching his chest and groaning several times.

It was as if they had truly suffered a very serious fright.

The little girl he met at the car accident scene had really scared him.

It's incredible that someone was able to see him and hear his voice again after his memories had been erased.

This is truly bizarre!

No, he seems to be the ghost...

It must be even scarier than seeing a ghost!

Just thinking about it made Jiang Li tremble uncontrollably, and he unconsciously wrapped his black robe tighter around himself.

Just then, a faint voice entered Jiang Li's ears, almost scaring his soul out of his body.

"Boss..."

It was the guy who had always been by his side.

Jiang Li breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was still quite annoyed.

"What is it?" he asked instinctively, then said impatiently, "Don't tell me anything, I'm annoyed right now!"

The subordinate was visibly taken aback, somewhat embarrassed, but still mustered his courage and said:

"Um... Boss, I have to tell you about this!"

His subordinates looked like they were about to cry.

"..."

Jiang Li couldn't bear to make things difficult for his loyal subordinate who had always followed him around. He frowned and said, "Speak your mind!"

The subordinate sighed helplessly and said, "Lord Yeming has come to see you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's face contorted, his brows furrowing into a deep frown, clearly showing his agitation:

"What is that brat doing here to see me? Is he here to laugh at me?"

As he spoke, he ripped off the large black hat covering his head, revealing a youthful yet unusually pale handsome face.

Jiang Li had barely finished speaking when a clear, youthful voice came from afar:

"You certainly have a lot of jokes for me to hear, but I have no interest in hearing your jokes today."

Taunts, sarcastic remarks... as annoying as ever.

Jiang Li couldn't help but roll his eyes upwards. Before he could roll them back down, he heard a "whoosh" and a slender, upright figure appeared right in front of him, inches away.

Jiang Li was so startled that she almost fainted on the spot.

His finger trembled as he pointed at the boy in front of him, his tongue seemingly tied in knots:

"You, you, you... Why have you barged into my bedchamber again? Don't you know what privacy and respect are?"

Hearing Jiang Li's question, the boy's lips curled into a disdainful smile. His voice was childish, yet carried a strange maturity. He chuckled and said:

"I have reminded you more than once that you went to the human world only to harvest souls and send those who have reached the end of their lifespan back to the underworld on time. You cannot bring those messy things from the human world back to the underworld."

The boy paused slightly, then moved a few steps closer to Jiang Li.

Because of his height, although the boy was looking up at Jiang Li, the powerful aura he exuded made Jiang Li feel extremely oppressed, and he couldn't help but feel as if he was being looked down upon by this little brat.

Jiang Li even swallowed hard, unable to control himself.

The boy raised an eyebrow, clearly mocking, and said:

"Besides... Lord Death, is there anything about you that deserves my respect?"

Successfully choked.

Jiang Li remained speechless for a long time before regaining her ability to speak.

"You...you're so rude!"

With a completely harmless rebuttal, Jiang Li puffed out his chest with particular righteousness and said to Ye Ming, "I'm much, much older than you. According to age, it wouldn't be unreasonable for you to call me uncle."

He's just a little kid. How can the mighty Grim Reaper be constantly oppressed by him?

He will rebel! Rebel to the very end!

"Unfortunately, here we don't care about age, only seniority."

Ye Ming gave Jiang Li a look, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Lord Death, do you intend to defy the rules of the Underworld?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's face instantly turned ashen, and he quickly denied it:

"I...I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Violating the rules of the underworld will result in extremely severe and terrible punishment, just like that guy back then...

Just recalling the scene of that guy being punished back then sent chills down Jiang Li's spine.

He was timid; he dared not bear the sin of violating the rules of the underworld.

Like striking a snake at its vital spot, Ye Ming always managed to pinpoint Jiang Li's weaknesses and have him firmly under his control.

"Then what should you call me?" Ye Ming smiled slightly.

The young boy exuded a chilling aura, even more terrifying and frightening than Jiang Li, the Grim Reaper.

"..." Jiang Li's expression looked as if he had swallowed something disgusting, and he managed to squeeze out four words with great difficulty: "Grandpa Ye Ming..."

Although I hate to admit it, Ye Ming is a typical example—

The radish didn't grow very long and ended up on the bank!

Jiang Li really should call Ye Ming "Grandpa".

The word "Grandpa" seemed to make Ye Ming's heart flutter with joy. The boy's eyes curved into a smile, and he finally revealed a genuine smile, praising Jiang Li:

"What a good grandson!"

Jiang Li's face had turned ashen, so he quickly changed the subject, pleadingly saying:

"What exactly do you want from me? Can you just say it directly?"

That little brat is incredibly cunning. Every time someone needs his help, he gives them a hard time, making them lose face.

Jiang Li was getting annoyed with him to death, but he couldn't get rid of him. After all, he was the boss of the underworld now!

Ye Ming had regained his composure and said slowly, "That black stone is glowing, with a golden light."

"What black stone?" Jiang Li didn't react for a moment. A few seconds later, he stared wide-eyed in astonishment and asked Ye Ming, "You mean... the Celestial Stone?"

Ye Ming nodded: "Mm."

The boy's handsome face was almost devoid of emotion. Upon closer inspection, his eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally beautiful, as if they had been carefully painted stroke by stroke with ink and brush.

He wore a black python robe with a belt around his waist, which revealed his slender and thin figure. His back was exceptionally straight, and he stood tall and elegant, neither humble nor arrogant. He exuded a natural aura that made him look like a king.

He is definitely an exceptionally handsome young man!

The big rock actually lit up!

Jiang Li's expression changed from surprise and astonishment to excitement and agitation.

Great! It's bright enough!

The fact that it lit up proves that the genius he had been searching for for hundreds of years has finally appeared!

His chance had come...

On the other side, in the hospital corridor.

Li Muchen stared fiercely at Xiao Xinyan with his bloodshot eyes.

In his view, his mother's serious car accident was all caused by Xiao Xinyan...
