The King of Hell was stunned. He stared in disbelief at the adorable little girl before him, his heart filled with doubt. He tried again to sweep at Sheng Wanwan with even greater force, but still couldn't budge her in the slightest.
Sheng Wanwan looked at the King of Hell with a smile, as if everything was within her expectations. "Old King of Hell, don't waste your energy. Although I look like a little girl now, my strength hasn't diminished much compared to my previous life. You couldn't beat me in your past life, and you certainly can't now!"
The King of Hell sneered, "What an arrogant brat! Talking nonsense and spouting wild words. Since you want to fight, let's have a fight. If you accidentally get killed by me, that's your bad luck! Don't blame me!"
As the old Yama King spoke, he flashed forward and attacked Sheng Wanwan. He did not hold back just because Sheng Wanwan was a child, because in his opinion, since this child dared to come to the Yama King's Palace to provoke him, she must have something extraordinary about her.
Sheng Wanwan showed no fear in the face of Yama's attack, nimbly dodging the attacks while simultaneously forming hand seals to gather powerful spiritual energy and engage in a fierce battle with Yama.
Energy surged within the Yama Palace, and the two figures fought with lightning speed, leaving the audience breathless.
After an unknown amount of time, King Yama was kicked away by Sheng Wanwan. With a loud "bang," King Yama crashed into the solid palace wall and then slowly slid down.
He sat on the ground, one hand on his waist, watching Sheng Wanwan walk towards him with her short legs, his face full of astonishment.
Sheng Wanwan stood before the old King Yama, clapping her hands lightly as if she had done something insignificant. She looked at the King Yama sitting on the ground, a slight smile appearing on her face.
"Old man Yama, it seems you're still no match for me, just like in your past life!" Sheng Wanwan's tone carried a hint of teasing.
"Ouch! That hurts so much!" Old Yama cried, rubbing his lower back. "Who are you? You keep talking about your past life, but I certainly didn't know you in my past life!"
The King of Hell now felt that the girl in front of him didn't seem to be lying, but he racked his brains and still couldn't figure out when he had met such a person.
"Oh! I remember now, for you, my past life should be your future life! You don't know me now, but in the future, we'll be very close!"
Sheng Wanwan smiled slyly.
"Don't understand? No problem, I'll tell you slowly! Actually, I'm a lonely soul from the future. In my past life, I was a big shot in the Xuanmen sect. Once, I was seriously injured and my soul left my body. I was bullied by evil spirits! I happened to run into you, who was out on patrol. At that time, you were full of justice. You not only saved my seriously injured soul, but also subdued that vengeful ghost!"
"So, in future lives, I'm your benefactor? Then why did you still beat me in those future lives?"
When King Yama remembered what the little boy had said when he first entered the door, he felt so wronged!
Saving people... no, saving souls, how did I end up doing something wrong?
"I was actually grateful to you! I even went back to the underworld with you and served as a ghost messenger for a while. Because I was kind-hearted and hated evil just like you, I was a little too harsh when I was a ghost messenger."
You've drained away some ghosts who weren't exactly benevolent in their past lives, and now you want to punish me, even throwing me into the eighteenth level of hell to show me what rules are!
Sheng Wanwan had a look that said, "You deserved to be beaten!"
"Do you think I'd tolerate you? I started fighting with you right then and there! What's worse, you old man, when you couldn't beat me, you called for backup. You summoned all sorts of ghosts, from Ox-Head and Horse-Face to Black and White Impermanence, the Judge, and all sorts of strange ghost messengers! A whole bunch of you ganged up on me, and you still couldn't beat me!"
Then you all treated me with utmost respect. When my spirit recovered, you even gave me a send-off as I returned to life!
Old man Yama, I've really missed you all these days of reincarnation!
"How about it? Still want to fight? Why don't you call all your men over and we fight again? But on my way here, I already immobilized quite a few ghost messengers! Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence are among them. If you want to fight, I can unseal them before we fight again."
As Sheng Wanwan spoke, an excited light appeared on her face.
Upon hearing this, the King of Hell almost cursed his father!
Sheng Wanwan did it on purpose. Although it was embarrassing, he really did want to call for help.
But after what this girl said, what kind of person is she calling out to?! Is she looking for trouble?
"No! No! Little ancestor, just tell me what you need! I promise I'll do it for you if I can!" King Yama said sensibly.
"Hehe, little ancestor, this title is so affectionate! Grandpa Yama, is this what you called me in your next life?" Sheng Wanwan sat down next to the old Yama with a smile, ready to act cute towards him.
She was born adorably cute, and her charm trick almost always worked.
"Little ancestor, if you have anything to say, just say it!" King Yama moved aside with a look of disgust; his old back was almost broken by this little girl's kicks. She beat him to a pulp when she was beating him, what's the use of acting cute now?
Does he think she's cute just because she acts cute?
He now sees her as a devil in human skin, and the sooner he gets rid of her, the better...
"I'm here to find someone!" Sheng Wanwan said, straightening her expression.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" King Yama asked.
“I’m looking for someone named Sheng Wenjin, oh! No… I should say a wisp of earthly soul. He’s my elder brother in this life,” Sheng Wanwan explained.
"That won't do! The souls in our underworld have all reached the end of their lifespan. If I give you my soul, I will be violating the rules of heaven and earth, and I will be struck by lightning. So I can't agree to this! Even if you destroy this old body of mine, I absolutely cannot agree to it!"
Upon hearing this, the old Yama King immediately waved his hand in refusal.
"Don't worry, I won't let you violate the rules of Heaven. My elder brother was mistakenly arrested by you. Releasing him now is in accordance with the rules of Heaven," Sheng Wanwan said solemnly.
"A mistaken arrest? How could that be? In the underworld, arrests are made strictly according to the records in the Book of Life and Death. How could there be a mistaken arrest?" King Yama shook his head in denial.
"That means someone tampered with your Book of Life and Death! You can investigate that yourself. I can wait. Once you've figured it out, I'll take my older brother with me!"
Sheng Wanwan looked at her with an expression that said, "I won't make things difficult for you..."
