How is my fortune? How many years do I have left to live?
The atmosphere in the underworld is not very good. It is dark and full of sadness.
Even though the joy of the Ghost Festival dispelled many sorrows, the occasional cries of the dead souls returning from the City of the Dead also touched Nan Guodou's nerves.
The longer the time went on, the more oppressed he felt...
Finally, Niu Dou came back.
"Ex-husband, there's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
With Xiaowan away, Nan Guodou faced the strong Niu Dou alone. He felt frightened and even his accent was distorted by Niu Dou.
"I, I'd better listen to the bad news first."
Niu Dou is now in a high position and has some ability to judge people.
Seeing Nan Guodou's nervousness, Niu Dou laughed out loud.
"Don't be nervous, ex-husband..."
"The bad news is that your Yang energy was drained away by that book demon. You only have three years left to live."
Nan Guodou felt the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy...
Three years...
Three years...
Even if I returned to the human world, what would these three years have meant?
Niu Dou patted his shoulder and spoke.
"Don't worry, I've used up a lot of merit to extend your life by twenty years. If you return to the human world and do more good deeds, you might be able to live even longer."
Nan Guodou was so moved that tears filled his eyes.
"General Niu has been so kind and generous, I have no way to repay him..."
"Is this... good news?"
Niu Dou laughed heroically again.
"I don't need your reward. As long as you are alive and well, I will be happy."
"Of course this isn't good news. The good news is that you and my underworld are destined to be together. There's something I need you to do for the underworld."
As he spoke, Niu Dou took out a package made of unknown material.
"Send this package to the Xu family in Yaoshan Town. They know what to do."
"Ex-husband, don't worry. If you do this well, the Xu family will reward you!"
Although it sounds strange to say that I have a connection with the underworld...
But Niu Dou's method of first suppressing and then praising still made Nan Guo Dou full of desire to survive.
"I will do it. I will report to Xu's office after I deliver the letter."
Niu Dou's huge eyes narrowed slightly, bringing great pressure to Nan Guo Dou.
"This package won't last long after leaving the underworld..."
Shelf life?
Nan Guodou didn't understand, he muttered.
"But...but Sindhu is breaking the law, and it's a matter of great military importance..."
Niu Dou laughed.
"Don't take your job as a clerk too seriously. Although delivering letters is important, since ancient times, there must have been more than one messenger for such a major event..."
"Also, I will arrange for the ghost messenger to go to Jiange County to inform them again."
"We are destined to be together, don't you trust me? Go to Xu's house without any worries. If you perform well, you will become more than just an errand boy!"
"After all, he's Xiaowan's ex-husband. You have to stand up straight!"
You keep calling me your ex-husband and slap him so hard, how can I trust you!
Nan Guo was in tears.
But the situation was stronger than the person, and he finally nodded.
In fact, Niu Dou really didn't lie to him. The reason why the bull's paw that landed on him was so heavy was simply because Niu Dou was very strong.
Niu Dou is probably the only monster in the three realms who truly seeks benefits for him and sincerely hopes that he can live a good life...
Only if you live well can I have Xiaowan all to myself!
