Bai Ningning covered her head with the quilt, escaping reality: "I don't want to study anymore. I want to sleep."
Qing Huai reminded: "You still have to go to the underworld."
Bai Ningning hid under the quilt and muffled her voice, "Catch these ghosts first and don't let them hang around in my room. I'm afraid...it would be bad if they dirty other people's hotel facilities."
She waited until all the noise in the room died down and it was completely quiet. Then she looked at Qing Huai and asked, "Why do you care so much about the underworld?"
Before this, he clearly acted like he didn't care about anything, and even exuded an aura of wanting to destroy the world every day.
Now he is helping her "learn" to catch ghosts and urging her to work in the underworld. This is not right.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Qing Huai: "I want you to help me check something."
"knew."
Bai Ningning didn't ask anything and lay down again: "Qinghuai, turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Qing Huai: “…”
Qing Huai's ghostly aura was rampaging throughout the house. Although the lights were off, Bai Ningning could still sense Qing Huai's rage from the surging ghostly aura. She shouted in explanation, "Go to the underworld—find a professional to teach you. Why are you so angry? Seriously!"
Qing Huai was stunned for a moment, obviously not believing her ability: "You don't need to open the door anymore?"
Bai Ningning: "...I advise you to shut up."
Bai Ningning closed her eyes and fell asleep, and her soul naturally floated to the underworld.
Chu Ze was working at a stone table. He greeted without even looking up: "Oh, you're here early."
Bai Ningning: "Teach me how to catch ghosts."
"Huh?" Chu Ze raised his head with a look of doubt on his face, gazing at her with condemnation for a moment. Seeing her serious tone, he was even more incredulous. "You want me to teach you? Are you mocking me?"
Bai Ningning: "I can't use the ability I had yesterday, and I'm really afraid of ghosts."
Chu Ze stared at her in silence for a long time before asking, "You came so early, you're really not teasing me or trying to tease me, are you?"
Bai Ningning: “…”
Chu Ze scratched his head: "I don't know either. If I knew, would I have to go through so much trouble to patrol the streets and fight every day?"
Bai Ningning: “?”
Chu Ze explained seriously: "Your ability is unique to the King of Hell. Others don't have it. But you can wait for Xiao Xie and the others. They know more than me."
Bai Ningning: "Xiao Xie? Are you talking about the Black and White Impermanence?"
Chu Ze: "Yes, they will be back soon."
Bai Ningning hesitated whether to let Geng Yiyi and Fan Wujiu meet. The barrage seemed to be supporting their relationship... Forget it, she would observe Fan Wujiu's attitude first. She couldn't believe everything in the barrage.
Bai Ningning asked, "Have they finished their investigation?"
Chu Ze: "Not entirely... I called them back in advance so they could meet you."
Bai Ningning saw a pile of scrolls and rosters on his desk and asked, "What are you doing now?"
Chu Ze: "Count the list. I have to count how many ghosts are still hiding in the tenth district, and how many ghosts have gone to the human world."
Bai Ningning asked: "Do you know the movements of all the ghosts?"
Chu Ze: "Not completely. Every time I patrol the streets, I pay attention to the ghosts above level seven in each district. Now my main task is to count them."
Bai Ningning was shocked: "Are these all handwritten statistics?"
Chu Ze spread the notebook in front of her and explained, "The workload is quite large at the beginning. I made a table. Every day, I just need to identify the new ghosts that appear and the movements of the previous ghosts. If they are reincarnated, I also have a record here. I put a question mark on the ones that suddenly disappear. Maybe they hide, or maybe they are swallowed by other ghosts."
Bai Ningning looked at the huge amount of records, and while she was impressed by Chu Ze's good memory, she asked, "You thought of making a spreadsheet, but didn't you think of using a computer?"
Chu Ze smiled bitterly: "I am already lucky enough to be able to support the underworld to maintain its original state. Only the true King of Hell has the ability to change the underworld."
Bai Ningning looked at this old way of working and couldn't help but feel pity. She asked, "How can we change it?"
Chu Ze drooped his brows and said, "I don't know. Aren't these abilities something you, the King of Hell, born with?"
Bai Ningning: "...How come you don't know anything about anything? How do you manage to be the King of Hell?"
Chu Ze: "Brain and physique. I can't stand you coming here, I wanted to quit a long time ago."
When the Black and White Impermanence returned, Chu Ze was complaining to Bai Ningning, "You have no idea how talented you are. With the blood of the King of Hell, you can easily achieve things that we can never do in our lifetime. After I became the acting King of Hell, I lamented every day why I was such a loser."
Xie Bian bowed and said, "Please don't underestimate yourself."
Chu Ze waved lazily: "You guys are back? It's just right, let me introduce you to the new King of Hell. I'm retired."
Fan Wujiu greeted cheerfully, "It's you? We met a few days ago. Do you remember?"
Xie Bian glanced at Bai Ningning and said coldly: "I don't think it's appropriate."
Bai Ningning nodded in agreement: "I think it's inappropriate too. I haven't agreed yet, so please don't make decisions on your own."
Chu Ze held his chin with one hand and said lightly, "Really? But the eighteen levels of hell have already recognized her. They opened it for her yesterday."
The look in the Black and White Impermanence's eyes when they looked at Bai Ningning changed instantly, mixed with complex emotions such as awe, shock, and disbelief.
"The little girl doesn't know anything yet, but she's very interesting." Chu Ze stood up, stretched, and walked out slowly. "I'll leave it to you now. I'll go for the tenth circle."
Fan Wujiu laughed heartily, "You really can't judge a person by his appearance, little...little King of Hell."
Bai Ningning was helpless and emphasized again: "I'm not going to be the King of Hell. I'm just here to help you get through the current difficulties. What happens after this is over will be fine."
Xie Bian asked: "How is the foundation?"
Bai Ningning: "Zero."
The two of them stared at each other in an awkward silence.
Fan Wujiu thought of the previous conversation and asked curiously: "What is your relationship with Qingwei Mountain?"
Bai Ningning: "I grew up in Qingwei Mountain."
"But you don't know anything?" After seeing Bai Ningning nod, Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian looked at each other and had an idea in their minds.
This is truly a case of finding something without any effort after searching for it for a long time.
They spent several days in Qingwei Mountain but couldn't find any useful information.
Chu Ze asked them to come back temporarily, but he didn't expect to find any progress in the investigation.
For a girl like Bai Ningning who was born with a spiritual body, Qingwei Mountain took her back to raise her early but didn't teach her anything. He must have some ulterior motive, and it was probably not a good one.
Seeing that the two looked like they had discovered a clue, Bai Ningning asked, "Have you seen Yuan Muyang?"
Fan Wujiu asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Ningning silently recited Qinghuai's name in her heart and summoned him to the Hall of Hell.
A cold-faced evil spirit shrouded in black mist appeared behind Bai Ningning.
A high-level evil spirit suddenly appeared in the Yama Palace, and the Black and White Impermanence instantly and vigilantly switched to a combat stance.
Bai Ningning: "Don't be nervous, it's my ghost."
Fan Wujiu looked puzzled: "Don't you know nothing? How can you establish a contract with such a high-level ghost?"
"If you ask me that, I don't know..."
Bai Ningning turned to look at Qing Huai: "Do you have anything to say?"
Qing Huai looked at her: "I followed you out of the Soul Transformation Formation on Qingwei Mountain."
Bai Ningning: “…”
The barrage led her there! I knew it was no good!
"Soul-transforming formation?" Fan Wujiu frowned and looked at Xie Bian, both of them with confusion in their eyes.
Bai Ningning was stunned: "Haven't you even seen the Soul Transformation Formation? It's in the forbidden area in the back mountain, next to the old dormitory."
Xie Bian's understanding was obviously different from Bai Ningning's. He answered firmly: "The back mountain is a wasteland. There is nothing there."
"Destroyed?" Bai Ningning was puzzled for two seconds, then quickly changed the question, "Don't you think Qinghuai's spiritual energy is very similar to Yuan Muyang's? Didn't we meet once before in the ancient castle villa? If you hadn't noticed this, I would have doubted your ability to do your job."
Fan Wujiu raised his hand to signal a pause, pointed at Qinghuai and asked, "Wait, was he there at the castle too?"
Bai Ningning: "Yes, he was. When you stepped on Yuan Muyang, he was in the knife... So you didn't know?"
"In the knife? Can you show me the knife?"
Bai Ningning handed the knife over, muttering quietly, "Are you really reliable? You're not some weird scammers, are you? With this level of business ability, can you still stay in the underworld as a leader? Is the underworld really just a shell?"
Xie Bian immediately touched the talisman drawn by Bai Ningning and nodded in confirmation: "It is true that there is no foundation, but the talent is very high, and the bloodline of the King of Hell is very powerful."
Bai Ningning was dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, don't judge me, I'm questioning you now."
Xie Bian completely ignored her complaints and went straight to the point: "I will teach you how to feel and use the spiritual energy in your body."
Xie Bian still acted serious, but his attitude became much more respectful.
Xie Bian led her in meditation and instructed her, "Close your eyes and feel the difference between you and your surroundings. The slow, gentle flow is the aura. Try using your aura to sense your surroundings without looking."
The lavender energy aura spread out from her, enveloping the entire Yama Palace.
Fan Wujiu was secretly shocked. Xie Bian only taught her how to feel spiritual energy, but she immediately learned how to use the energy field?
Seeing that she was picking up the hang of it quickly, Xie Bian continued his guidance: "Once you're familiar with it, you can slowly spread it out and tentatively expand the boundaries. You can use this opportunity to test the maximum range you can sense, and then gradually refine your practice."
The lavender energy field gradually expanded from the Yama Palace all the way to Area 1, passing through Area 2, and arriving at Area 3. The expansion speed slowed down in Area 4.
The ghost world residents in the first three districts looked up. The gray sky they had long been accustomed to had now become beautiful clouds painted pink and purple.
It had been a long time since they had seen such a beautiful sky since they became ghosts.
The ghost messengers in the 4th area stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the energy field gradually enveloping the 4th area. When they came to their senses, the lavender color was already heading towards the 6th area.
They were enveloped in a lavender energy field, feeling the immature but quite vibrant vitality within it, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Hall of Yama with tears in their eyes.
The underworld seems to be saved.
Seeing that the energy field had spread so far, Fan Wujiu was afraid that Bai Ningning couldn't bear it, so he wanted to call a stop.
Xie Bian put his index finger to his lips, signaling him to be quiet.
This is the little King of Hell patrolling her territory and people in her own way.
On this day, the whole underworld knew that they had a new King of Hell.
