Upon hearing the voice, Qin Yune instinctively looked up, her face instantly breaking into a delighted smile as she exclaimed, "Sister Meng, what brings you here?"
Meng Po walked briskly toward the dining table, saying as she went, "I knew you were back, so I came to see you and also to mooch a meal."
As she spoke, Meng Po didn't wait for Qin Yunie to greet her and casually chose a seat and sat down.
As soon as she sat down, smelling the aroma of the food on the table, Meng Po couldn't help but exclaim, "I haven't had your cooking in so long since you've been so busy. It still tastes so good."
Qin Yune smiled sheepishly, quickly walked to the cupboard, took out a clean set of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Meng Po, while explaining, "I was a little busy recently, but if you want to eat this, Sister Meng, just tell me and I'll make it for you."
Meng Po didn't stand on ceremony and simply nodded, "Alright."
During the meal, Meng Po suddenly asked, "I heard someone is pursuing you? What do you think? Any ideas?"
Qin Yunie hadn't expected that even Meng Po knew about this. Caught off guard, she was suddenly confronted with this question and choked on a mouthful of food, coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough—"
Qin Yunie coughed until his face was red, and even his eye sockets were red from coughing so hard that his eyes were misty.
She quickly picked up the water glass next to her and took a sip to soothe her throat. Having finally stopped coughing, she stared wide-eyed at Meng Po and asked incredulously, "Sister Meng, who...who told you this?"
Meng Po blinked. "Hmm? You didn't know? It's all over the underworld now, and many ghosts know about it."
Qin Yunie's eye twitched involuntarily. She suddenly remembered the ghosts in the car that day. Luckily, they didn't know who she liked. Otherwise, if they knew during the day, the whole underworld would know by night!
Meng Po pressed on, "So you have... you mean, you have feelings for him?"
With a helpless expression, Qin Yune explained to Meng Po again, "Sister Meng, I don't have any thoughts about that for now, please forgive me."
Meng Po looked enlightened and nodded knowingly, "Oh, then it's because the person isn't right."
After saying that, she paused for a moment, and then asked a new question: "Then tell me, what's going on between you and the King of Hell? I heard you haven't sent any food to the King of Hell's palace in a long time."
Upon hearing this question, Qin Yunie was startled. A hint of panic flashed across his previously calm face, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably a few times.
To avoid arousing Meng Po's suspicion, Qin Yune stuffed several mouthfuls of food into her mouth and mumbled, "I've been busy lately, and the King of Hell's servant will come to collect it, so I haven't gone to deliver it."
Upon hearing this, Meng Po nodded thoughtfully and murmured softly, "So it was because of the servant."
Qin Yunie didn't initially grasp the deeper meaning behind Meng Po's words, but after only a few seconds, she seemed to suddenly realize something, and her heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Meng Po's wrist tightly, her eyes wide with panic, and cried out urgently, "Sister Meng, no! The servant delivered it perfectly."
They acted as if they were afraid that Meng Po would dismiss the servant who came to collect the food box at any moment.
Meng Po looked at her and blinked calmly, "I didn't say the servant was bad, why are you so anxious?"
Qin Yune breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease, when she heard Meng Po say quite bluntly, "I was just thinking about how to get you two together."
The breath she had just exhaled suddenly caught in her throat.
After a long pause, Qin Yune sighed and replied frankly, "Sister Meng, there's no possibility between me and the King of Hell, don't waste your time."
Looking at Qin Yunie with her beautiful eyes filled with doubt, Meng Po couldn't help but ask, "Why do you think it's impossible? With the King of Hell's status and background, he doesn't need you to have a good family background to support him. After all, no matter how illustrious your family background is, it's probably hard to compare with the King of Hell. As long as you are of one mind, isn't that enough?"
In her view, if you like someone, you should be together; if you don't, you should separate.
It has nothing to do with one's background or status; it's all about whether one wants to or is willing to do so.
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Yune's lips as she slowly said, "But, King Yama... doesn't like me..."
If she liked him, she might have been able to muster the courage to abandon everything, but the other person doesn't like her...
The King of Hell treated her so well, how could she take advantage of his kindness to achieve her own secret desires?
Upon hearing Qin Yune's words, Meng Po was greatly shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "You're saying that King Yama doesn't like you? Where did you get that conclusion? If King Yama didn't like you, I, Meng Po, would give you my position!"
Faced with Meng Po's intense reaction, Qin Yune simply lowered his head, his eyelids slightly closed, concealing the complex and unfathomable emotions in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "He said it himself."
Qin Yune's words completely baffled Meng Po.
The King of Hell's various actions did not seem like he had no feelings for Qin Yunie, yet Qin Yunie said that the King of Hell had personally said that he did not like her.
For a moment, Meng Po felt a little confused herself.
Meng Po asked with a complicated expression, "Are you sure he means he doesn't like you?"
Qin Yunie nodded, though he didn't say those exact words, the meaning was similar.
After hearing this, Meng Po felt that she couldn't understand them anymore.
Qin Yunie had no reason to lie to her, so the King of Hell must have really said those words.
But Fan Wujiu also told her that after the King of Hell found out that someone was pursuing Qin Yunie, he not only had Judge Cui investigate the other party, but he was also in a bad mood. It didn't sound like a lie!
In addition, she had witnessed Yama specially requesting the golden feather robe for her, which didn't seem like something Yama would do to someone he didn't like!
If she really didn't like him, Qin Yune wouldn't even be allowed into the King of Hell's palace. Just like that princess who, relying on her status, stormed into the King of Hell's palace intending to force him to submit, only to be ruthlessly thrown out.
After that, when the princess came to the underworld again, she couldn't even get close to the gates of the King of Hell's palace.
However, Qin Yunie was able to get in without even needing to report it.
Even more so, according to Fan Wujiu, the King of Hell has given Qin Yunie a lot of power this time, allowing the Black and White Impermanence to obey her orders and do whatever she wants. If anything goes wrong, he will clean up the mess.
This kind of treatment doesn't seem like something someone would do if they didn't like it!
This is clearly love without realizing it!
