The Lord of the Underworld is elegant and unparalleled. Though a woman, she has no shortage of suitors within the Six Realms.
A little ghost reports: "Lord of the Underworld, the Immortal...
One of the ghost messengers patted his flat head and pointed at the red pill, saying, "Your Highness, I've seen this pill before! It seems the brothers who disappeared all bought this pill from that stall in Fengdu!"
A word awakened the dreamer, and the remaining ghost officials nodded repeatedly. Jiuxi narrowed her beautiful eyes. No wonder the vendor was so weird. The greedy ghost officials would naturally want this free pill.
The fingertips increased the spiritual power, but the pill was very hard and could not be broken no matter how hard he squeezed it.
The ghost officials all looked at each other in bewilderment, all afraid that Jiuxi would use themselves as an experiment. At this time, Xiao Juhua rolled over to Jiuxi's side. Seeing the fearless look in Jiuxi's eyes, Xiao Juhua shouted, "Your Highness, no! Judge Cui! Judge Cui will disappear after eating this."
Not only Xiao Juhua, but even the crowd of ghost officials were trying to persuade Jiuxi, but Jiuxi suddenly smiled and said, "I am not that stupid!"
After she put the pill away, she entrusted the little fox to Xiao Juhua and instructed her earnestly, "Eat three meals a day, and every meal must include meat."
After dismissing the ghost officials, Jiuxi returned to Fengdu City. However, the vendor was gone, leaving only an empty table.
Puzzlement flashed through his mind, and Jiuxi murmured, "Do I really have to eat this damn thing?"
Judge Cui must have discovered the secret of the pill after taking it, but he has not returned for such a long time. Presumably, there must be something that is holding Judge Cui back in that place.
Coincidentally, there is an inn opposite this stall. The name of the inn is Huangquan Inn. The name alone sounds a bit strange.
Jiuxi walked forward and saw that the lights in the inn were still on. He felt that it would be impolite to go in like this. It would be bad if he scared the people inside, so he patiently reached out and knocked on the door.
After a few moments, the sound of a woman yawning was heard from inside, and then the door was opened. An old woman looked at Jiuxi with sleepy eyes and said, "Miss, are you staying at the hotel?"
Jiuxi glanced at the crack in the door. There were only a few tables and chairs, but nothing else. Jiuxi took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, handed it to the old woman, and said, "Well, thank you for your help, old lady."
The old woman's half-closed eyes suddenly lit up. She hurriedly took the silver from Jiuxi's hand and said ecstatically, "Come in quickly, girl! It's cold outside, be careful of catching a cold!"
This attitude was completely different from before. Jiuxi, led by the old woman, went to a room on the second floor. Although the room still had a bit of a musty smell, it was clean. The old woman hunched over and said embarrassedly, "Miss, this room is relatively clean."
Jiuxi nodded without a single complaint and said, "Thank you, old man."
The old woman naturally noticed the distant look in her eyes, so she tactfully helped her close the door and limped away.
Jiuxi opened the window, and to her surprise, she could just see the stall from this angle. She observed for a while. The street was bustling, but the owner of the stall was nowhere to be seen.
She guessed that the man must have taken advantage of the moonlight to hide his appearance, and it would be convenient to act at night. The ghost officials had to pass through Fengdu City to capture souls, and that would be the best time for him to act.
She frowned slightly and glanced at the other stalls indifferently, but found that the other stalls around were not too close to each other, but this stall was only about four feet away from them.
