Chapter 30: Survival
Shen Qing could already feel Yeluweisi's cold eyes staring at him.
Oh...some of them have been coaxed.
Uncle Ghost didn't notice that Shen Qingze's expression behind him kept changing. He only felt that the Ghost King in front of him had a gloomy face and was very scary.
Does Lord Ghost King always look like he wants to eat people?
No wonder the ghosts in the underworld are so scared of him...
The ghost uncle mustered up his courage and handed his verdict to the ghost officer beside him.
"Zhang Daqiang, died of illness, had no criminal record, ordinary farmer, 69 years old, owner please check"
It turns out that the ghost uncle is called Zhang Daqiang. Just like his name, he is just like him, honest and simple, with no ulterior motives.
After the ghost read Zhang Daqiang's verdict, he handed it to Yeluweisi.
He stared at Shen Qingze without moving and said "hmm" coldly.
Signaled Zhang Daqiang to leave quickly.
The ghost knew that the master was in a very bad mood and was even burning with anger.
In order to avoid being implicated, the ghost officer simply stamped and signed Zhang Daqiang's verdict.
Then he kept winking at Zhang Daqiang, suggesting that he should leave quickly! If possible, he should run!
Shen Qing smiled bitterly and told Zhang Daqiang that he would go first and there was no need to wait for him.
"Uncle, you go first, I'll come back to find you"
The ghost took the verdict handed over by Shen Qingze with trembling hands and looked at him in confusion.
Shen Qing looked at the ghost messenger in confusion.
"Read it? Any questions?"
The ghost officer was sweating all over his back. Problem? It was a big problem!
My ancestor! The master's imposing manner frightened him so much that his voice became unsteady. What are you doing? !
"Um... Mo Xiaodie... The cause of death is unknown, and the information before her death is unknown. She is a student, 20 years old, please check with the master..."
Yeluweisi took Mo Xiaodie's verdict, scanned the information on it with cold eyes, and then threw it to the prosecutor beside him without any care.
“But it’s burned.”
These four simple words, filled with endless anger, made everyone present shudder.
The verdict was burned, which means that the ghost palace was unwilling to accept the ghost's review.
Either you stay in the underworld to atone your sins for tens of thousands of years, and after cleansing your sins, resubmit the review form for another verdict, or you commit suicide and become a wandering ghost in the ghost market outside the gates of hell forever, with no chance of reincarnation.
Shen Qingze frowned, he didn't expect that Yeluweisi would not give him any chance.
"Wait a minute, sir, why are you unwilling to accept this review?"
Yeluvis sneered and looked directly at Shen Qingze with endless anger in his eyes.
"Do I need a reason to do something?"
Without mercy,
That's right, the Ghost King is above everyone else, and no one dares to disobey his superior attitude.
Shen Qingze ultimately overestimated his position in Yeluweisi's heart. In the final analysis, they might just be in a contractual relationship.
He stepped forward, knelt on his knees, and pleaded in a pleading tone,
"Please be merciful and give me a chance to submit the judgment form to you again..."
Yeluvis clenched his hands on the table into fists, and the breath he exhaled was filled with uncontrollable anger.
The prosecutor standing next to him was shaking with both legs, and lowered his head as much as he could, wishing he could shrink into an ostrich. The other ghost officials in the ghost house were also holding their breath and concentrating. The air was quiet, with only the gurgling sound of the boiling magma beside the wall.
After kneeling for a long time, Shen Qingze felt his legs were numb. He thought Yeluweiss probably wouldn't agree. He was about to speak helplessly, but Yeluweiss stood up before him.
The movement was very light, but it made all the ghosts present shudder and try harder to shrink themselves into turtle shapes.
Shen Qing slowly raised his head and looked at Yeluvis walking towards him.
Yeluvis took every step, and every step seemed to be stepping on Shen Qingze's heartstrings.
The ghosts around didn't dare to make a sound, as if time had stopped.
Yeluvis walked up to Shen Qingze and looked down at him, the anger in his eyes seemed to devour him.
Shen Qing gritted his teeth, still kneeling firmly, looking directly into Yeluweisi's eyes.
"My Lord, I know you are angry with me, but this judgment is very important to her."
Yeluvis sneered.
"Humph, you are so persistent for her."
After saying that, he suddenly reached out and pinched Shen Qingze's chin, forcing him to look up.
"You're just protecting her like this?"
Shen Qingze made up his mind.
"My Lord, I just think she shouldn't be treated like this."
Just when everyone thought that Yeluvis would be furious, he loosened his hand and softened his tone.
"Forget it. I'll give you one chance. But if you disappoint me again, don't blame me for being heartless."
Shen Qingze's eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately wanted to kowtow.
Yeluvis stopped him, squatted down, grabbed his waist and stood up.
"Thank you, sir!"
Shen Qing was held in the arms of Yeluweisi, feeling the broad hands on his waist, feeling lucky, and quietly added,
"My Lord, you are the best~"
Shen Qing knew very well that when it was time to coax someone, he had to put aside his pride and do it.
Whatever sounds good, whatever means are the most appealing, as long as it can please,
Yeluvis stroked Shen Qingze's slender waist and felt much better.
Shen Qing stood on tiptoe, placed his hands on Yeluweisi's shoulders, and kissed him gently on the lips.
"Please forgive my willfulness this time, okay?"
"I'll go back to my room at night, I can consider it."
Yeluvis turned back to his seat and waved.
"Go back",
Shen Qing rubbed the red corners of his mouth, feeling somewhat relieved for having survived the disaster, and followed Zhang Daqiang, who had been waiting outside for a long time, out of the ghost house.
After Shen Qingze left, Yeluweisi returned to his cold and cruel look that made people unable to look directly at him. The prosecutor beside him sighed helplessly.
Only Madam can move Lord Ghost King. If any other ghost were given Mo Xiaodie's verdict, it would have been thrown into the lava and burned to ashes, leaving no room for maneuver.
Although Yeluvis still had that cold look, he had become much gentler. There were basically no verdicts for extremely serious crimes, and they could all be passed directly or revised as is, which reduced a lot of workload for the ghost officials.
-------
Zhang Daqiang needed to go back to the ghost town to find a place to live. Shen Qing didn't want Zhang Daqiang to know his identity for the time being, so he said goodbye to him in front of the ghost town gate.
He returned to the palace in the ghost mansion and began to complete Mo Xiaodie's verdict.
Yeluvis felt a little distressed when he saw his tired but determined appearance.
Shen Qing presented the finalized verdict and said sincerely,
"Sir, may I have a look?"
Yeluweisi took it and said helplessly,
"Okay, I will make a new judgment this time."
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Yeluweisi pulled Shen Qingze to his side and said softly
"Don't forget what you promised me."
Shen Qingze blushed and said coquettishly
"Yes, my Lord~"
The atmosphere between the two became ambiguous.
