Upon hearing this, Consort Liu scoffed, "Sister Consort Yu, these people bought cosmetics from the mortal realm and went to great lengths to deliver them, and you actually gave them a bad review? That's so unfair!"
Consort Yu lost face. She glared at Chu Yu and retorted through gritted teeth, "This is my business, none of your concern. I have other matters to attend to in the palace, so I won't say any more. Farewell!"
After leaving those words behind, she and her entourage left dejectedly.
Watching them leave in a hurry, Consort Liu spat disdainfully and turned to Chu Yu, saying, "Consort Yu is a wicked and mean-spirited woman. Don't take her orders next time, or she'll make things difficult for you again."
Chu Yu calmly took a sip of tea: "She can't place any orders for the next month."
"Really? That's great. The Underworld should probably blacklist customers like her."
Chu Yu said seriously, "If she causes any more trouble, the Underworld Group will consider blacklisting her."
Consort Liu became happy.
There are so many good things in the human world. Since Yu Fei has been blacklisted by the Underworld Clan, she won't be able to enjoy them anymore. In that case, she can only envy her.
Last time, Yufei put chili powder in her acne cream, but she couldn't find any evidence and let her escape. This time, she can finally get her revenge.
So awesome!
Consort Liu poured Chu Yu a cup of tea in a cheerful mood. Thinking about the beauty pageant, she had an idea and asked Chu Yu, "The beauty pageant will be held in Youdu City in two days. I've signed up. Last year, Consort Yu was the champion, and I want to win this time. Could you come and be my makeup artist, help me with my makeup and outfit?"
Chu Yu paused, holding her teacup, and looked at her with some surprise: "You want me to be your makeup artist? But I'm not a professional."
Consort Liu had great confidence in her: "Although you're not a professional, you understand the latest fashion trends. The makeup you did for me last time was quite good. I believe you can surprise me again this time. Don't worry, the reward is generous."
The beauty pageant is a grand affair; you can bring your friends to visit and relax, just like a vacation.
Chu Yu was tempted.
The pay is generous, and you can bring your friends along – this job is amazing!
She readily agreed: "Okay! But I can only give it my best. If you don't win the championship, don't blame me."
Liu Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you do your best, the result is up to me."
She asked Xiao Cui to give her four admission tickets.
“The management here in Youdu City is strict. I can only get you a maximum of four admission tickets, no more than that.”
Chu Yu took the tickets: "Four are enough, thank you. Let's set a time, I'll come at the appointed time."
The two arranged a time, and Chu Yu even suggested that he bring her some skincare products and makeup remover when he came over. Liu Fei was very happy and paid her a deposit in advance.
Half an hour later, Chu Yu left the Ghost King Palace and rode her electric scooter back to the Red Maple Temple.
Arriving at the backyard of Hongfeng Temple, Chu Yu saw Lingxiao Daoist and his fourth senior brother Jiang Huai'an playing chess in the pavilion.
Seeing Jiang Huai'an so relaxed, she walked over and asked in surprise, "Fourth Senior Brother, didn't you go to the Underworld Group's deliveryman interview? Why are you back so soon? Did you get the job?"
When she asked, Jiang Huai'an sighed dejectedly, "The competition was too fierce. The Underworld was hiring five employees, but more than 200 people applied. They were all very outstanding. I couldn't compete with them and was rejected. This is the second time I've been rejected. Sigh! I'm so sad..."
Chu Yu's lips twitched slightly; he had failed again.
Lingxiao Daoist calmly comforted Jiang Huai'an: "These days, good jobs are highly competitive, and it's normal to fail an application. Don't give up, keep trying, and you'll have another chance when the next round of recruitment comes around."
Hearing his words, Jiang Huai'an regained his fighting spirit: "The abbot is right. Keep up the good work and never give up. I believe that as long as I work hard, one day I will be able to get a job as a deliveryman in the underworld."
Chu Yu patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him: "You're right, keep it up, I believe in you."
Encouraged by them, Jiang Huai'an's disappointment vanished.
Lingxiao Daoist glanced at Chu Yu and asked with concern, "Did you encounter any difficulties after returning from the Ghost King's Palace?"
Chu Yu replied with a smile, "No, I actually made a fortune."
Lingxiao Daoist was somewhat surprised: "Oh? How did you do that?"
Chu Yu sat down to the side, poured herself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, she told them about the Ghost King Palace.
After listening, both Jiang Huai'an and Lingxiao Daoist looked at her with admiration.
Jiang Huai'an praised, "Junior sister, you are really amazing. Not only did you win over Consort Liu and make a fortune, but you also slapped Consort Yu in the face. You truly deserve to be called the ace deliveryman of the underworld. Your business skills are top-notch."
After praising her a few times, Lingxiao Daoist stroked his beard and reflected, saying, "I thought I could do a good job in the underworld delivery business, but compared to you, I'm still far behind. I still have to learn from you."
Chu Yu smiled modestly and said, "Delivering food to the underworld may seem simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do. You have to learn to adapt to local conditions and be flexible."
Lingxiao Daoist nodded in agreement: "Young friend is right. If you have time tomorrow, could you come here again and tell me about your experience and insights? I still need to study more."
Chu Yu readily agreed: "Okay."
Jiang Huai'an quickly said, "I also want to come and learn, to prepare for becoming a deliveryman in the underworld in the future."
"Sure!"
Lingxiao Daoist smiled happily: "Then I will have my disciples prepare tea and pastries for you tomorrow."
After making the arrangements, Chu Yu remembered the beauty pageant tickets that Consort Liu had given her. She took them out and said to the two of them, "Youdu City is going to hold an annual beauty pageant. Consort Liu gave me four tickets. With these tickets, you can go to Youdu City to play and watch the competition. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Huai'an's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I want to go! I've never been to Youdu City before. I've always been quite curious about it. This is a rare opportunity, so you have to take me!"
"good."
Chu Yu gave him an admission ticket and then asked Lingxiao Daoist, "Master, are you going?"
Lingxiao Daoist shook his head and said calmly, "I won't go. Beauty pageants are something you young people like to watch. You take your other friends instead."
"Alright then."
Chu Yu put the admission ticket away, thinking to herself that she would ask Fu Yunche if he wanted to go when she saw him.
Afterwards, Jiang Huai'an and Lingxiao Daoist continued playing the unfinished game of chess.
With nothing else to do, Chu Yu took out the Demon-Subduing Flute from his Qiankun Bag, went to the maple tree opposite, and began to practice.
The maple leaves in the backyard have turned red, in large patches, like clusters of flames, extremely dazzling.
Chu Yu sat under the tree, playing her flute in the wind. Maple leaves drifted down from above, landing on her shoulders and hair. From afar, she looked ethereal and beautiful, like a dream.
Fu Yunche, who had just stepped into the backyard, was stunned by the scene. When the familiar flute music came, a dream instantly came to mind.
