"Why did you come in?"
A 28-year-old boy squatted in front of a strong man and asked in a mean voice.
"I just kidnapped a few beautiful young women from decent families to be wives for the men in the mountains. Damn, on the way back, I accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Then I was sentenced to the eighteenth level of hell."
The young man tutted his tongue, shifted his feet, moved to the side, and asked the old man, "How did you get in?"
The old man snorted and said disdainfully, "When I was young, I beat my own wife to death and angered my father-in-law to death, so I took all her family property. But when I was alive, I had a thriving family and was so proud of it. Now that I'm dead, I'm sent here. Humph, it must be that damned woman who filed a complaint against me!"
The young man frowned and curled his lips, "Then you are not wronged!"
The old man wanted to refute, but the boy ignored him and moved to the side. He asked a boy who was about the same age as him, but looked much stronger and more refined. He didn't look like a heinous person. The boy was a little surprised and asked, "Little brother, how did you get in?"
The man glanced up at him timidly and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, "I... I... I passed by an abandoned house in the middle of the night. An elderly widow was taking in stray cats and dogs. I suddenly got interested and set it on fire, burning all the cats and dogs to death."
The young man couldn't help shaking his head, "You really can't judge a person by appearance... you kid!"
The man retorted, "It's just a few unwanted cats and dogs, and yet I have to suffer torture in the Eighteen Levels of Hell for ten years. The rules of the underworld are so unfair!"
The old man gnashed his teeth when he heard this. "How dare you say it's unfair? I normally wouldn't even step on an ant, and you burned a whole room of people to death in one go!"
The sturdy young man sarcastically said, "You can't bear to step on an ant, but you're willing to beat your wife to death!"
"What do you mean?"
The two men were about to start fighting. This was the execution waiting area of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and it was also the last place these people could talk. Once they got in, their tongues would be pulled out, their eyes gouged out, and they would be thrown into a frying pan... They were going to suffer!
The boy didn't want to pay attention to them and moved again. This time he moved in front of a young girl. At first glance, the boy's eyes lit up. What a beautiful girl!
It’s just... such a beautiful young lady was actually thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. What unforgivable thing did she do? It turns out that the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous she is!
With the previous experience of the young man, he did not dare to be careless, but due to his respect for the beauty, he softened his voice, "Little beauty, why did you come in?"
Shangguan Qingwan raised her eyes listlessly, and in front of her was a rebellious young man with red lips and bright eyes. His hair was tied high and short with a red rope casually tied on it. His robe seemed to have been washed many times and was faded, but his eyes were black and sparkling, and incredibly beautiful.
At first glance, Shangguan Qingwan's love for beauty was about to burst out again, but this time her eyes dimmed instantly.
Woohoo, she has been sent to the eighteenth level of hell, and she is still watching!
I won’t get my eyes gouged out as soon as I go in, right?
Shangguan Qingwan curled the corners of her lips downwards, her eyes filled with despair and fear. She said weakly, "I... I committed suicide."
"Then what?"
Shangguan Qingwan frowned and said in a bad tone, "Isn't this okay?"
The young man's brows knitted together, his tall nose twitching as he whispered, "Look, that man who kidnapped women, that man who murdered his wife and ate all his family, that man who slaughtered small animals... Don't be shy about it. Now that you've come this far, the immoral things you've done may not be worth mentioning compared to others."
"Who did something immoral?"
"Can you come here if you haven't done anything bad?"
"The King of Hell said that if I commit suicide, it will be an unforgivable sin!"
The boy was silent for a moment, then stood up and sat next to her. "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Then tell me in detail! I have experience, I can analyze it for you!"
As he spoke, the young man crossed his legs like an old lady.
When Shangguan Qingwan saw him about to take off his shoes, her face frowned. The feet of a boy like this were the smelliest. She was thinking about whether to stop him. However, the next second, she saw the boy's big white feet, which had no smell!
Shangguan Qingwan felt relieved as if her heart had fallen from the sky. She heaved a sigh of relief and had a better impression of the young man in front of her, so she told him everything about her experience.
The boy listened, his face becoming stiffer and stiffer. When she finally finished, he said in disbelief, "You said... you met the Hengyue Demon Ancestor?"
"Yes!"
"Is she still your sister?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Xitang told you that he wanted you to sacrifice your life to save Hengyue?"
"Yes..." Shangguan Qingwan said dejectedly.
The young man leaped away and stared at Shangguan Qingwan with a complicated expression.
Shangguan Qingwan was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
The young man muttered to himself, "Both Demon Ancestors are still alive, and there's even a new Taiji. What am I then? What on earth am I? Could it be that all my hard work and efforts over the years have been in vain?"
The boy looked like he was about to cry, like a puppy drenched in rain.
Shangguan Qingwan thought he was moved by her experience, so she advised, "It's nothing, actually. When you have a sister, you will love and protect her at the cost of your life..."
"I don't have a sister..."
Shangguan Qingwan: ...
Shangguan Qingwan wanted to end the topic, so she asked, "By the way, we've only been talking about me. How did you get in?"
Speaking of this, the young man perked up. He sat back down and said smugly, "I'm much better than you. I've been in and out of the eighteen levels of hell nine times!"
"So powerful?" Shangguan Qingwan was really impressed by this move.
Her eyes widened and she asked curiously, "Tell me about it!"
"Let me start with the most recent incident. I... ran out of food at home, so I thought I'd go out and get some. But as you know, people these days are a bit difficult to talk to, and I've been blocked in many places. I had no choice but to explore new areas, and guess what? I actually made a discovery!"
"What did you find?" The two people huddled together and talked with relish.
"I discovered that the fish in the River of Oblivion in the underworld are truly delicious, unprecedented and unmatched! They are indeed raised on corpses!"
Shangguan Qingwan: ...
"You...eat fish from the Wangchuan River?"
"Yeah, is there any other place in the Ghost Path where I can eat besides Wangchuan?"
"So I made a recipe for 18 different ways to eat fresh fish. I just can't get tired of it. At first, the ghosts were very enthusiastic in treating me, but later they got stingy and wouldn't let me eat anymore. But it doesn't matter. I'll just change it up so that no one can recognize me and continue eating!"
The boy said this, his eyes emitting a strange green light.
