"Meng Po, what's wrong with you? Give me another bowl of soup, it's delicious! Drink more, and you will forget your past faster and be able to reincarnate sooner, right?" Mu Li said with a smile, looking at the stunned Meng Po.
"...Do you still remember things from your life?" Meng Po was stunned.
"Remember, I had a miserable life. I grew up without a father or a mother. I was finally adopted by someone, but they died of illness. I barely managed to stay in an orphanage until I was 18. I worked hard in society for a few years, and finally saw the light at the end of the clouds, but was hit by a car and died..." Mu Li tearfully recounted her heartbreaking story. It was as tragic as it could be...
"It's coming again... I don't know how many times I've cried and cried this past month. My ears are all callused from hearing it... Someone please save me~"
Listening to Meng Po's frantic voice, Mu Li almost couldn't help laughing out loud: "It turns out Meng Po is quite cute."
"Girl, why don't you take a rest here with me first? I'll let the ones behind you drink the soup first, and then let them go on their way first?" Meng Po quickly interrupted Mu Li who was covering her face and crying, and said with a headache.
"What about me? Don't I want to drink anymore? I haven't been reincarnated yet?" Mu Li asked, wiping away her non-existent tears.
"You wait a moment, let them drink first. The amount cooked every day is fixed, one bowl per person." Meng Po pulled Mu Li over and asked her to stand beside her, and continued to serve soup to the "people" in line behind her.
"I, an old woman, don't know how many flavors I have studied this month. This girl has tasted everything, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, but she just can't forget her past and can't be reborn. It's almost the end of the month and it's time for performance appraisals in all departments. What should I do?" Meng Po handed over the soup with a worried look on her face.
Mu Li looked at the "people" who drank the soup and were successfully reincarnated, and listened to Meng Po's voice, feeling a little puzzled.
"What's going on? Why didn't I forget my past life after drinking Mengpo soup? Mengpo said I've been here for a month and have been drinking the soup for a month, but why don't I remember anything? I think this is my first time drinking Mengpo soup."
"It's time to get off work. All the ghosts of today have been sent away. I, an old woman, can finally call it a day."
Listening to Meng Po's cheerful voice, Mu Li called out faintly: "Meng Po~~"
"God is killing me! How could I have forgotten this hot potato? What should I do? It's the end of the month, and my sales figures are coming up! Forget it, let's send her to see the Judge!" Thinking of this, Meng Po hurriedly packed up and dragged Mu Li towards the Hall of Hell. "I'll take you to see the Judge."
"Huh? Why would I want to see the Judge? Is he a bad guy? I'm scared..." Mu Li was resisting, panicking inside: "This is the underworld~ I just finally got to know Meng Po, I don't want to go anywhere else. What if they eat people?"
"And the judge? Are you talking about Zhong Kui?" Mu Li thought of a certain competitive game she had played. There was a Zhong Kui in it, and he looked ferocious and evil. Suddenly, she felt bad...
"I've never seen you in this situation before. Perhaps the judge knows about it," Meng Po explained as they walked. "The judge has a very good temper, not at all fierce. You don't have to worry."
…
Dark and majestic palace
"We're here, let's go in." When they arrived at the palace gate, Meng Po said to Mu Li.
In the main hall, there was a man dressed in black, with a fair face and half-tied silver hair hanging quietly behind his head. The ink-colored jade hairpin on his bun added a bit of nobility and mystery.
At this moment, he was staring at the tablet computer on the table with a cold gaze, his brows furrowed. Noticing someone entering the house, he immediately closed the computer and looked towards the door...
"Meng Po, why are you here? Who is she?"
Meng Po, who had just entered the hall and was about to call the judge, heard this familiar and cold voice. She raised her head suddenly and saw the person sitting in the hall. She shouted in surprise: "Greetings, King! King, you have finally awakened!"
"What king? King Yama? It's over, it's over. Didn't you bring me here to see the judge? Why is it King Yama? I'm really going to die now..." Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and heard Meng Po's voice. She was so scared that her heart almost stopped beating. In an instant, she thought of hundreds of ways to die...
"Lord Hades, she is a new soul this month. She has been drinking Mengpo soup on the Naihe Bridge for a month, but she still cannot forget her past and has not been able to reincarnate. So I came to find the judge to see if he knows what is going on." Mengpo glanced at Mu Li and said respectfully to Hades.
"Oh? There is such a thing?" As Hades finished speaking, Mu Li felt a sharp gaze shooting at her, and she felt like her soul was about to be seen through.
"Is it her? She's finally back..." Suddenly, Mu Li heard a trembling voice. She looked up and saw the cold figure in the hall, and was stunned...
"The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world. So handsome! Forgive my shallow cultural knowledge, I can only think of this poem. Pluto is actually a handsome guy!!! I really want to stick to him~~"
The infatuated Mu Li didn't even notice how restrained and excited, how gentle and affectionate the gaze on her was...
Meng Po's eyes flashed when she caught a glimpse of them inadvertently, and she coughed lightly: "Cough...", which instantly brought the two back to their senses.
"Meng Po, you go back first. I will check the Book of Life and Death." said the King of Hell after he came to his senses.
"The Book of Life and Death? Hasn't the Book of Life and Death been unable to be opened since that war?" Meng Po asked in surprise.
"Ten thousand years ago, the three realms of gods, demons and humans fought a great war, resulting in countless casualties. Too many souls poured into the underworld at once, causing instability and almost destroying it. In order to maintain the normal order of the underworld, Hades and the Book of Life and Death, which was the underworld's sacred artifact at the time, sacrificed their own spirits and exhausted all their spiritual energy to maintain the stability of the underworld... Since then, Hades has fallen into a deep sleep, and the Book of Life and Death has become a dead object and can never be opened again... Unexpectedly, ten thousand years later, Hades finally woke up. Could it be that the Book of Life and Death has also been restored?" Thinking of this, Meng Po could not hide her excitement and looked at Hades with anticipation.
