Qin Yunie looked completely bewildered: "???"
She was kidnapped, how come she didn't know?
Facing the King of Hell's gaze, Meng Po showed no fear. With a beaming smile, she patted the thief and said, "Then I'll take the person over first. Little Yu Nie is in your care now, King of Hell~ Remember to get Little Yu Nie home safely!"
Looking at Meng Po's radiant smile, Qin Yune vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but dared not think in that direction.
The culprit had already fled with his men, leaving Qin Yunie alone to endure the chilling aura emanating from the King of Hell.
Qin Yune caught a glimpse of Yama's less-than-pleasant expression out of the corner of her eye, and silently tried to make herself less noticeable.
The little white fox had already lowered its head when the King of Hell appeared, not daring to utter a sound, and even tried to hide its small head in its tail, making it a real scarf.
Yan Wenjing remained silent for a moment, then turned around and said, "Let's go."
His steps were steady and powerful, each step seeming to tread on Qin Yunie's heart, making her involuntarily tense up.
Qin Yunie followed behind cautiously.
Yan Wenjing's voice came from the front, "What are you going to the ghost market for?"
Qin Yunie explained, "I want to buy something to protect myself, and it would be even better if I could buy something that could improve my physical strength."
Yan Wenjing asked in a calm tone, "Did you buy it?"
She answered honestly, "I only managed to buy a talisman. There was one that could be used for both offense and defense, and it was said to be equivalent to a divine-level strike. If it weren't for Sister Meng's help, I wouldn't have been able to buy even this talisman."
A brief silence fell over the air before Yan Wenjing said, "The things in the Ghost Market are decent, but most of the good stuff is collected and rarely found outside."
Qin Yunie said helplessly, "But there's nothing I can do. The Ghost Market is the best I can access."
She was met with endless silence, but Qin Yune didn't care. After all, the King of Hell wasn't much of a talker, and she was used to it.
Not long after, two figures, one tall and one short, landed in Qin Yunie's courtyard.
Qin Yunie realized that she had been too busy today and hadn't even sent food to the King of Hell yet.
Furthermore, since the King of Hell had gone to the ghost market to bring her back, she felt uneasy if she didn't do something for him. So she immediately said, "King of Hell, come in and sit for a while. I'll make you something to eat."
Yan Wenjing didn't refuse. He walked into the room with his brisk steps as if it were a normal thing, and found a place to sit down.
Qin Yunie watched him sit down, then turned and went into the kitchen.
Not long after, Qin Yune felt the lights dim. She turned around and found that the King of Hell had entered at some point.
She quickly said, "Why did you come to the kitchen? It's smoky and oily. You can wait outside."
Yan Wenjing glanced around the kitchen and said, "It's okay, I'll watch you cook."
About half an hour later, Qin Yune carried a dish out in one hand, then turned around to pick up a bowl and chopsticks to serve rice, which she placed in front of the King of Hell.
"Oh right." Qin Yune suddenly remembered that she hadn't given the money she was owed to Yama today.
She then turned around and took out her notebook to show King Yama, “These are today’s. The first batch sent out has already received feedback, so there are quite a few ghosts placing orders today. Please take a look.”
Normally, these kinds of transactions are settled once a month, but Qin Yune thought that since she had to deliver food to the King of Hell every day anyway, and since the business was just starting out and was doing well, she wanted to show the King of Hell that her business wasn't so useless and that she could still make a lot of money.
In addition, carrying so much money on my person every day would make me worry, so it's better to just hand it over every day to save myself the trouble.
Yan Wenjing glanced at it briefly, gave a nod, and then said nothing more.
After finishing his meal and leaving Qin Yunie's house, Yan Wenjing did not go directly back to the underworld, but instead went to another place by flying through the air.
An old man with a white beard saw Yan Wenjing suddenly appear and instinctively attacked, but Yan Wenjing easily blocked the attack.
When he saw who it was, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He stroked his beard gently and said with a smile, "A rare guest indeed! It is the King of Hell who has graced us with his presence. I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly."
Yan Wenjing didn't exchange many pleasantries and said directly, "Give me a cultivation manual suitable for beginners."
After saying that, he added, "It should be a gentler method."
The white-bearded old man looked Yan Wenjing up and down, then asked suspiciously, "You want him?"
Yan Wenjing replied calmly, "Mm."
The white-bearded old man smiled knowingly and teased, "Is it a gift? Who is it for? Have you met a girl you like?"
Yan Wenjing frowned. "No."
The white-bearded old man laughed, "You haven't come to see me in over a hundred years, and the first thing you do is ask me for a beginner's technique, and you even specifically told me to make it gentle. Who else could this be but a gift for your beloved girl? Don't tell me it's for you to use. If someone with your skills still needs to use such a low-level technique, they're probably going to regress as they get older."
Yan Wenjing took a deep breath. "You just need to give it to me."
The white-bearded old man said, "You should at least let me know who you gave my cultivation technique to, shouldn't you?"
Yan Wenjing turned to leave, but the white-bearded old man quickly stopped him, saying, "Young man, don't be so impulsive."
Then the white-bearded old man brought out a gentle cultivation method suitable for female disciples.
Yan Wenjing glanced at it and said, "I remember you have a copy of the Jade Lotus Heart Sutra. Give me that copy."
The white-bearded old man froze as he stroked his beard. "You have the nerve to ask? I asked you who you were giving it to, but you wouldn't tell me. You just open your mouth and ask for this high-level secret manual."
Yan Wenjing said bluntly, "Anyway, you don't have any female disciples, so there's no use in keeping them."
The white-bearded old man retorted, unconvinced, "What if I take on a female disciple?"
Yan Wenjing replied casually, "Oh, I'll return it to you later."
The white-bearded old man: "..."
Only Yan Wenjing could say something like that!
Although reluctant, the white-bearded old man still tossed the cultivation manual to Yan Wenjing, saying, "Here you go!"
"Thank you." Yan Wenjing took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it over. "Drink this, and you'll break through this bottleneck."
He then left.
The white-bearded old man opened the porcelain bottle, and a fragrance instantly filled the entire room. He stared in astonishment, "This, this is actually the Thousand Machine Pill?!"
The white-bearded old man stared blankly for a long while, then muttered, "He's really willing to spend money on a beginner's cultivation technique..."
He then shook his head and put the porcelain bottle back on.
After Qin Yunie finished getting ready, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Yan Wenjing returned to Qin Yunie's house and found that she was not inside. He sensed the location of the jade pendant and found that she was next door, so he passed through the wall to the next room.
The moment he passed through, he realized that his current position seemed to be wrong.
The shower room was steaming hot, with the sound of water dripping.
