Wisps of tea mist rose in the hall. Jiuxi pushed the teacup in front of him to Judge Cui opposite him. Judge Cui reached out to take the teacup, then lowered his eyes and sipped the tea quietly.

Judge Cui can be said to have watched Jiuxi grow up, so he knows Jiuxi's temperament very well. He called him over as soon as he came back, so there must be something wrong.

Jiuxi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "How is the underworld doing during the time I've been away?"

Judge Cui put down his teacup, his eyes unreadable as he said, "Very good."

Jiuxi frowned, "What about the human world?"

She was actually afraid that the purple zombie was still wreaking havoc in the human world! Maybe he had even taken her little follower away.

Beauty is indeed a temptation that even zombies cannot resist.

Judge Cui's gaze drifted away, his face showing an awkward expression. He clenched and unclenched his hands hidden under his sleeves and said, "Your Highness, I don't know whether I should speak of this matter or not."

Jiuxi frowned and said seriously, "Judge, please speak."

She intuitively felt that this matter must be about Su Jichen.

Judge Cui took a deep breath, and then a serious look appeared in his eyes. He said, "Your Highness, Ji Chen came back, but left again."

Jiuxi felt strange and asked, "When Ji Chen came back, why did the ghost guarding the Ghost Gate say that he didn't see Ji Chen?"

"Your Highness, I don't know either, but Ji Chen was very strange this time. He was mumbling nonsense, and I didn't understand a word he said."

Judge Cui recalled Su Jichen's strange behavior that day and was horrified. He then asked, "Your Highness, would you like to send the little ghost out to find Jichen?"

Jiuxi took a breath and replied calmly, "I will go out to find Ji Chen myself."

She had a hunch that something must have happened to Ji Chen. Could he have been bitten by a zombie? So ashamed of turning into a zombie, she was too embarrassed to return to the underworld.

Judge Cui shook his head, his eyes stubborn, and said, "Your Highness, when the old Pluto was here, he was diligent in reviewing memorials every day. But since you came to power, you have been very lazy every day..."

This is Judge Cui criticizing Jiuxi for being too idle.

Jiuxi blushed a little and said embarrassedly, "Judge, what you said makes sense. I understand."

After a pause, Jiuxi continued, "But Judge, Ji Chen is a very important person to this king."

Judge Cui lowered his eyes, hiding the uneasiness in them, and said with some comfort, "Your Highness, perhaps Ji Chen simply doesn't want to come back?"

These words made Jiuxi feel very uncomfortable. She used to think that Ji Chen's biggest dream in life was to be her little follower forever. After all, she was the only boss who could give him such a high salary.

And now, she realized that she didn't understand Su Jichen at all.

She also failed to protect Ji Chen, and she was really depressed.

Looking at the girl's lifeless eyes, Judge Cui said worriedly, "Your Highness, you should reassure the old Hades."

Jiuxi stared blankly at Judge Cui and said in a heavy tone, "Judge, send the little ghost out to find Ji Chen."

She finally compromised.

When Judge Cui came, he looked at Jiuxi's back with a complicated expression, then sighed deeply, and then walked in the opposite direction of the Palace of Pluto.

There were red lotus-like flowers blooming all over the sky. This was the flower of hell and the only flower that could grow in the underworld. Judge Cui walked along the bank of the Forgetful River. There were tens of thousands of souls queuing up to get Mengpo soup, and the judge had only one goal, which was the nineteen levels of hell.
