Chu Nian quickly replied, "I've only heard of this technique, and I don't know how to use it." She didn't want to create unnecessary enemies for herself.

Cui Yu: "Who told you that?"

Chu Nian started making things up: "I can't remember, but when I was very young, I met an old man by chance, and he mentioned it to me."

The witch Zhang gritted her teeth in hatred and said, "Since you've only heard about it, why do you say you'll teach me?"

Chu Nian said righteously, "You've harmed so many people, what's wrong with me just playing a trick on you?" Then, filled with righteous indignation, she pointed at her and shouted angrily, "If I hadn't been harmed by you, how would I be here? I should be inside my body, working hard for my future." Her eyes reddened as she spoke, filled with all sorts of grievances and emotions!

Zhao Feiyang looked at her with an incredibly strange expression: This woman, why does her style suddenly seem so different?! From sophisticated and elegant to naive and innocent?!

He finally saw what it meant to talk nonsense with a straight face.

Cui Yu sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, everyone quiet down." Then he asked the crowd, "Who is Zhao Feiyang?"

Zhao Feiyang was taken aback, then raised his hand and said, "Me."

Cui Yu: "Very good. In view of your merits in this incident, the Great Emperor of Beiyin has ordered that you be appointed as the Left Twelfth Hall Steward under King Qin Guang, in charge of the life records of the mortals in that hall. You will be granted immortal bones upon taking office."

Zhao Feiyang was stunned: "Bestowed immortal bones? What does this mean? Immortal bones?"

Regardless of the official title Zhao Feiyang was bestowed upon, the mere mention of his immortal bones was enough to astound him. He had always believed that immortals were merely legends, nonexistent. But now, was he about to possess immortal bones himself?

Cui Yu: "Although times have changed and the custom of expressing gratitude is no longer common, when you return to the underworld and meet the Great Emperor of the Northern Underworld, you must remember to express your gratitude to him."

Zhao Feiyang nodded, somewhat bewildered, and hummed in agreement.

Chu Nian couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you just say about the Northern Yin Emperor? Were you referring to the King of the Underworld?"

Cui Yu: "The King of the Underworld that you humans refer to is probably Yama, the King of Hell. This Great Emperor of the Northern Underworld is the Great Emperor of Fengdu in the Northern Underworld, who commands the Five Ghost Emperors of Luofeng, the Six Heavens, and the Ten Kings of Hell. You can also respectfully call him the Northern Supreme Emperor."

Although he was speaking to Chu Nian, he used the technique of transmitting his voice over a thousand miles.

Chu Nian understood that he was speaking to everyone in this world, because almost everyone here was going to the underworld, and their punishments might be determined by the Northern Emperor he mentioned.

“Alright,” Cui Yu said, turning to the group of black-robed men behind him. “Given the condition of these souls, those who can be resurrected will be helped to do so, while those who cannot be resurrected will all be taken into the underworld and treated as such. Their merits and demerits will be determined accordingly.”

"Yes." The men in black robes bowed and accepted the order, and then, led by Xiao Hei, began to capture these living souls.

Chu Nian arrived at Li Shuangshuang's door, knocked, and called out to her.

Following Chu Nian's previous instructions, although she heard a deafening roar like an earthquake outside, followed by a woman's screams, and even smelled the aroma of roasted meat, as if there had been a fire outside, she still didn't dare to come out.

Now that she finally heard Chu Nian's voice, she happily opened the door.

“Cui Yu, this little girl is only at level two, just like me. We should both be able to be revived,” Chu Nian said, pulling Li Shuangshuang to Cui Yu’s side.

Li Shuangshuang glanced timidly at Zhao Feiyang, who had already stood next to Cui Yu.

Zhao Feiyang deliberately turned his face away, not daring to look at her: From now on, they would be separated by life and death, and it was feared that they would never see each other again!

Cui Yu sized up Li Shuangshuang, then turned and called out, "Xiao Hei, this Li Shuangshuang can be sent back to be resurrected."

Xiao Hei responded and quickly stepped forward to pull Li Shuangshuang away.

Chu Nian wanted to go with them, but Cui Yu stopped her with his arm, saying, "You have to come back to the underworld with us."

Chu Nian asked, "Are you sure?"

Cui Yu: "Do you think you can fool the underworld by cheating?"

Chu Nian nodded and replied, "Okay." Then she stood on the other side of Cui Yu.

Cui Yu felt dizzy just looking at her and said, "Zhao Feiyang will be my colleague from now on. It's understandable that he's standing here, but what's the point of you standing here?"

Chu Nian: "Otherwise, where am I supposed to stand?"

Cui Yu pointed at the people who were being led out by the collars by the men in black robes and said, "Didn't you see?"

“Actually…” Zhao Feiyang clearly wanted to tell Cui Yu the truth.

Chu Nian hurriedly said, "Okay, I see it, I'll follow right away!" As she spoke, she winked at Zhao Feiyang and then followed behind Zhang Xiaotong, who was being carried away by the man in black robes.

Zhao Feiyang is simply following the expected plot, and Chu Nian doesn't want his ending to change too much. Although he and the female lead will need to work on their relationship later, they are clearly mutually attracted, so Chu Nian isn't worried about that. Therefore, she hopes Zhao Feiyang won't say anything now, lest he lose the official position he's about to obtain.

Seeing Chu Nian following behind her, clearly heading to the underworld, Zhang Xiaotong knew she couldn't survive. She burst into laughter, saying, "Liu Nian, where did your smugness go? You're going to be taken to the underworld just like us!"

Chu Nian was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. She noticed that the witch Zhang was being led by Xiao Hei, who was carrying the witch Zhang in his left hand and Li Shuangshuang in his right.

She asked the man in black robes beside her, "Is the one surnamed Zhang also going back to the mortal realm?"

The man in black robes said, "Lord Hei said that although her physical body is almost rotten, it will be difficult for her to die. Our underworld only accepts souls, not the living."

Chu Nian smiled and nodded.

Zhang Xiaotong: "Mrs. Zhang will eventually have to return to the mortal world. She will eventually have to go back to the mortal world and live her life properly..." He said this with mixed feelings.

Chu Nian chuckled and said, "You don't need to envy her. She'd be better off dead than alive like this! Besides, all her magical energy is gone, so she'll never be able to use magic to become beautiful again."

The burns will forever haunt her. Moreover, she has a Gu worm in her body, which Chu Nian has already activated, preventing Mrs. Zhang from ever cultivating any magic again. However, because of this Gu worm, her physical body will continue to live, immortal, yet tormented by pain.

Zhang Xiaotong scoffed and rolled her eyes at her: "You talk like you know everything, but you're just an ordinary player like us. Now look, the result is the same, so what are you still acting all high and mighty for!"

Chu Nian immediately shut her mouth: Some people are indeed not worth paying attention to.

Zhang Xiaotong suddenly murmured again, "Was Mao Yongheng really swallowed by Mrs. Zhang?"

Chu Nian remained silent: Perhaps she should have intervened and saved Mao Yongheng, sending him to hell to be punished. Letting him be swallowed by that witch Zhang was too lenient on him.
