Upon hearing this, the ox-headed and horse-faced demons stopped laughing and instead said seriously, "These should be what His Highness said, right?"
Li Yueping nodded calmly, then countered with a question, "My aunt said it herself, so I wouldn't dare to speak nonsense."
The ox-headed and horse-faced figures exchanged a glance. The horse-faced figure explained, "Since it was His Highness who informed us, we will speak frankly. Although the Underworld Dynasty exists, it has no jurisdiction over us."
Li Yue nodded without any surprise; he had always been self-aware.
"The underworld dynasty was merely established by the netherworld to facilitate the management of the wandering souls of that dynasty. Once the human world changes dynasties, no matter how powerful the underworld dynasty is, it can only decline and fade away."
At this point, Horse-Face's tone shifted, and a look of envy appeared on his horse-like face:
"Don't be afraid, with the young prince here, you're bound to benefit."
It must be said that knowing you are special always makes you feel better. Everyone present who could be considered a person was delighted, even the emperor.
Ling Xiaosheng felt like he was one of his own.
Li Yue wisely refrained from asking how his grandfather, father, and other relatives were kicked into the afterlife, and kept quiet.
The middle-aged man was forgotten to the side, his face pale and horribly pale with embarrassment, fear, anger, and resentment.

"Mommy!" the big man cried out in fright, covering his head.
"Hehe, I forgot to tell you, the underworld is filled with yin energy. If a mere mortal's heart is filled with the five poisons, they are easily turned into an evil ghost."
Horse-faced man said casually, then killed the middle-aged man with a fork.
Seeing a living person die so tragically, even if the middle-aged man is not likable, he can't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
Ox-Head urged Horse-Face, "Hurry up and take the people around. The little princess will definitely be mischievous again in the mortal realm. The Lord of the Underworld will surely have a plan for her. Let's finish our business as soon as possible and get away."
"Okay, let's go..."
At the highest point, Ling Xiao sighed. Finally, it was time for the next step.
The system let out its signature loud laugh, indicating that several more tasks had been completed.
