Chapter 110 Ling Lingling "Then you are doubting the Emperor of Heaven."...
Some people think that she just felt guilty because of her mother's death and died of excessive grief; others firmly believe that she was threatened by some mysterious forces and sent money to save her life, but in the end she lost both her money and her life.
However, after all, these were the villains who once caused the indignation of the entire nation. No matter how widespread the conspiracy theory became, no one would speak up for them, but would just think that they deserved it.
George's body was found three days later, and it did not cause much disturbance in the world. As for whether Satan had secretly caused trouble for Lucifer, no one knew.
Bai Ma and the others didn't realize what was happening until the trending search "Tu Wanqing pays back the money" appeared. Li Qi looked at Si Ling and suddenly realized: "No wonder you wanted to get rid of George too, so this is why!"
"Yes, tens of millions!" Si Ling said as a matter of course.
Actually, it’s not.
In fact, the reason why she initially wanted to kill George was closer to what Hyun-chi said - she didn't want to actively interfere in the cause and effect of the world, but when she realized that a tragedy might happen and was very likely to affect many people, although she tried her best to tell herself not to meddle in other people's business, it was still difficult for her to stand idly by.
This was a ridiculous thing for a ghost, and it was especially ridiculous for a ghost of her age. She herself couldn't understand why she had such an idea.
.
Xie Bian happened to be at the Ghost Academy again on the day George's body was found. Since he wanted to thank the team for completing the mission in the name of Fengdu's privacy, Lucifer invited them all to the principal's office.
The six people walked together and were stunned when they entered the principal's office. The other person who appeared in the office attracted the attention of each of them.
...It’s Tu Wanqing.
To be more precise, it was Tu Wanqing's spirit. She collapsed on the ground, wailing uncontrollably. The two ghost messengers who had come with Xie Bian watched her from the side, their expressions somewhat awkward.
Lucifer saw the surprise of Si Ling and the others and gave a brief explanation: "Mr. Xie said that he would like to hand over the work here, so I asked someone to bring her here."
"Thank you for your hard work." Xie Bian greeted Si Ling and the others, then his gaze fell back on Tu Wanqing, full of impatience. "Okay, stop crying. It's too late to regret now! Your case will be decided by the King of Hell himself. If you have any grievances, go tell him!"
After saying this, he produced the prisoner transfer documents for Lucifer to sign. Lucifer also had a similar document for him to sign. Both documents had backup copies of the other. Xie Bian handed his copy to the ghost messenger and told them, "Everything has been arranged at the Cross-Border Contract Office. Take her back and directly see Yama."
"Okay." The two ghost officials no longer hesitated, and picked up Tu Wanqing from the left and right and left.
Tu Wanqing knew that if she met the King of Hell, she would be doomed. She immediately hugged Xie Bian's thighs and poured out all the negotiation terms she could think of. She said hysterically, "I was still young at that time! Let me go... I'll do anything! I've already returned all the money! I'm willing to atone for my sins... I'm willing to do my best to atone for my sins!"
Xie Bian sneered: "Are you willing to atone for your sins? Isn't that just because you're afraid?"
Tu Wanqing shook her head in horror: "No no... No!"
Xie Bian frowned impatiently: "Take him away."
With a snap of her fingers, Tu Wanqing bounced back and two ghost officers immediately dragged her out of the principal's office.
Xie Bian breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his suit, and quickly greeted everyone with a smile on his face: "This is the special bonus that King Yama has prepared for everyone." As he spoke, he produced the bonus, a total of six, each wrapped in the most popular red envelope in the Porcelain Country today.
Everyone happily accepted the red envelopes. Xie Bian glanced at the time and said cheerfully, "Let's go! I'll treat you tonight. It's the hottest new restaurant in Lingbo City, and they don't even take reservations! I had my interns line up three hours in advance!"
Si Ling raised an eyebrow and glanced at him: "Exploiting interns?"
"Hey." Xie Bian said shamelessly, "Who didn't get here this way?"
So the group, including Lucifer, went to Lingbo City together. They arrived shortly after the interns got their number, so the timing was just right.
Everyone discussed and ordered dishes. Xie Bian asked the intern to introduce himself to everyone. This fledgling little demon girl had a high ponytail and was dressed very refreshingly. She looked exactly like a college student. She introduced herself gracefully: "Hello everyone, my name is Chu Ling, Ling as in water chestnut, and I am a water chestnut spirit."
Ah Zhui's first reaction was exactly the same as Xie Bian's when he first met Chu Ling: "Can water chestnuts become spirits?"
"Yeah, that's impressive, isn't it?" Xie Bian praised his subordinate without hesitation. "In all my years in the underworld, I've only seen this one. He's quite impressive. They just sent away a group of foreign monsters from the Neolithic Age."
"...There were foreign monsters in the Neolithic Age?" Li Qi was shocked. Xie Bian gave Chu Ling an encouraging look, meaning that she should tell everyone herself.
Chu Ling immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Yes, although there was no real concept of a country at that time, differences in cultural styles had already appeared. We had exchanges with Greece and Egypt..."
This kind of topic is very suitable for livening up a party, and everyone listens with great interest.
Xuan Chi looked at Chu Ling, then at Si Ling, frowned slightly, and drank a sip of wine in silence.
.
The meal lasted over two hours, and both the host and the guests were thoroughly entertained. After leaving the restaurant, Xie Bian went to the Cross-Border Contract Hall on his own to return to Porcelain Country, while the others returned to the Ghost Academy.
That night, a dark figure pushed open the gate leading to Lingbo City, spread his wings and flew across the dark red sky of hell, and landed in front of the three-story Chinese-style building in the downtown area.
The two young fox demons were still guarding the gate of Fox City. When they saw the shadow falling from the sky, they immediately stood up, saying "Welcome" as if facing a great enemy but still politely, while looking behind Xuan Chi calmly.
Xuan Chi paused: "I'm alone."
The two fox demons breathed a sigh of relief, and he said again, "I want to see the Fox Ancestor."
The fox demons were relieved when they heard this, because his tone was calm and it didn't look like he was going to kill them directly.
"This way, please!" The fox demon immediately ushered him to the right side of the hallway and cast a spell to open the elevator door. Xuan Chi stepped into the elevator, which quickly began to move, descending deep into the earth.
A few minutes later, Xuan Chi arrived at the underground space where the Fox Ancestor was. He walked through the long corridor and the cave where the young fox demons lived. He stopped in front of the stone door at the end and raised his hand to knock on the stone door twice.
Soon, the stone door opened, and the first thing Xuan Chi saw was a capable young female fox demon, presumably Fox Ancestor's new assistant. Not far behind her, Fox Ancestor was still sitting on the white jade couch. She had heard from her subordinates that Xuan Chi had returned, but she hadn't expected him to knock on the door. She looked at him with a complicated expression, "You're quite polite this time."
Hyun Chi sat down on the stone bench opposite her with an expressionless face.
Fox Ancestor looked at him with interest: "What business do you want to discuss?"
Xuan Chi pondered for a while and said, "Let me find out something first."
Fox Ancestor nodded: "I will tell you everything I know."
Hyun Chi pondered, "Is it normal if I know several people with similar names?"
"...What's so unusual?" Fox Ancestor couldn't help but laugh. "Just look at the past hundred years. There have been thousands of Zhang Weis, Li Weis, and Wang Weis listed in Fox City's customer registrations, along with countless Toms and Jacks."
"I've only been released a few months ago." Xuan Chi raised his eyes. "I can't come into contact with so many people like in Fox City. And that name isn't a common name like Zhang Wei or Tom."
The Fox Ancestor's smile faded, and his dark brows furrowed slightly. "Do you mind telling me the name?"
Xuan Chi hesitated for a moment, then said frankly, "Si Ling, who came with me to mess things up last time, your former assistant A Ling, and Chu Ling, who I just met today. The last one is Ling from the water chestnut tree."
Fox Ancestor sneered and laughed again: "These three words are not the same."
"But the characters are very similar, and the pronunciation is exactly the same." Xuan Chi looked at Fox Ancestor intently. "There are countless customers in Fox Market. How many of these customers have you seen in the past few months?"
Fox Ancestor fell silent. She couldn't deny that, if only in the past few months, there weren't many people with the character "夌" in their names. Just like Xuan Chi had just said, it wasn't a common name like Zhang Wei or Wang Wei.
She took a deep breath. "What are you suspecting? Tell me straight away." She then looked at Xuan Chi again. "You don't suspect that Hu Shi has planted someone around you, do you? If Hu Shi has that ability, then why don't I help Moloch capture you? He's asking a high price."
"No, I don't doubt Fox City." Xuan Chi paused and threw out a guess, "Could it be the karma curse?"
"A causal curse that has been laid out for tens of thousands of years?"
"Yes."
The cave was quiet for a while.
"Then you are doubting the Emperor of Heaven." Fox Ancestor said again.
Xuan Chi was speechless, which was considered as his agreement.
In fact, from a subjective point of view, he did not doubt the Emperor of Heaven, but if he analyzed objectively, it seemed that only the Emperor of Heaven possessed such powerful magic power.
But if it really is the Emperor of Heaven...
Then what is Si Ling?
He took a deep breath and said to Fox Ancestor, "Let's make a deal."
.
Two days later, Si Ling and Xuan Chi were invited into Lucifer's office again. As soon as they entered, Lucifer told them, "There's news about the mermaid."
Si Ling calmed down with a complicated expression and sat upright on the sofa: "Okay, I'm ready to listen to the opera."
"Haha, no need to listen to opera this time." Lucifer handed them copies of two documents. "The parliament has provided a written version of the results, which can be considered as a negotiation condition."
"Great!" Si Ling was very touched that he didn't have to listen to the opera. He took the document and flipped through a few pages. His expression gradually became complicated. "Are you serious? Are you sure?!"
Lucifer spread his hands: "Queen Anna is not one to play pranks."
"No, what I mean is..." Si Ling lowered his head and glanced at the information in his hand again, finding it unbelievable. "Are mermaids being captured by humans and auctioned off at a high price? Seriously?"
"Oh, I find it bizarre, too." Lucifer laughed dryly. "All I can say is that some humans are incredibly capable and imaginative when it comes to committing evil. As long as the money is in place, the lower limit is flexible."
Si Ling curled his lips slightly, speechless.
She turned over another page of the information in her hand and scanned the information provided by the Mermaid Council at a glance. A word that brought a terrifying effect caught her eye.
