Judge Cui couldn't help but wail in anguish: "I knew the King of Hell's act wasn't so funny! Now look what's happened, a year's salary gone! And I still have to go collect the Soul Whip!"
Seeing Judge Cui's mournful face, Meng Po suppressed a laugh and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "There's nothing we can do. He's the King of Hell, and we're just his employees!"
However, Judge Cui was not comforted. Thinking that he shouldn't be the only one to suffer such a loss, he immediately took out his phone and quickly sent a message in the group.
Judge Cui: [@Fan Wujiu @Xie Bi'an, you two owe me money! The King of Hell is going to deduct a year's salary from my paycheck, and you two have to come with me!]
Fan Wujiu: [Judge Cui, where would I get money? Besides, the King of Hell is punishing you, not us.]
Xie Bi'an: [Judge Cui, you chose to stay there and watch King Yama's show, so it's only right that King Yama punishes you. After all, King Yama's show isn't very entertaining.]
Judge Cui: [Bullshit! It's clearly you two who are disloyal, running away without telling me! Now I've been caught red-handed by the King of Hell! Not only am I being punished with the Soul Whip, but I'm also losing a year's salary! I only asked you to split your salary, not the Soul Whip!]
Xie Bi'an: [We would like to call you, but you're engrossed in watching the play with Meng Po, and you won't answer when we call you.]
Ox-Head: [When does Judge Cui plan to come and receive the Soul Whip? Don't worry, considering how well we know each other, we'll be 'gentle'.]
Horse-faced: [Judge Cui, are you here to receive the Soul Whip? Wait a minute, let me pick one for you!]
Meng Po, enjoying the spectacle, chimed in, "The King of Hell has summoned you two to him." (@谢必安@范无咎)
Upon hearing this, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu fell silent for a long time.
Judge Cui: [Haha, I knew you two couldn't escape! Go and collect your punishment! I'll be waiting for you both~]
Horse-face rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Come on, come on, everyone! I promise I'll prepare everything perfectly for you."
After about seven or eight seconds, Judge Cui seemed to wake up from a dream. He slowly raised his head with suspicion and looked at Meng Po, who was standing not far away. He asked, "Aren't you going?"
You have to understand that Meng Po was the mastermind behind this incident. They were all punished, so there's no reason why the King of Hell would let Meng Po, such a key figure, off the hook.
Upon hearing this, Meng Po was slightly taken aback, then let out a soft hum of doubt: "Hmm? Where to?"
Judge Cui quickly put away his phone, then looked at Meng Po with a scrutinizing expression and replied in a serious tone, "Receive the Soul Whip."
Upon hearing this, Meng Po appeared very calm and composed, and replied unhurriedly, "Oh, that? I don't need to go. King Yama has exempted me from this punishment."
Meng Po's words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving Judge Cui dumbfounded. An expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but shout, "Why! We were just watching a show, and we were punished! You, as the main architect of this incident, were not punished at all!"
After hearing this, Meng Po tilted her head slightly, as if she was seriously considering something, and then threw out a conclusion that was both laughable and self-righteous: "Maybe it's because I'm Xiao Yu Nie's family? Love me, love my dog?"
Judge Cui was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't utter a single word for a long time: "..."
It's outrageous, yet it makes perfect sense.
It wasn't until Judge Cui, in a daze, was actually about to receive the Soul Whip that Meng Po chuckled and said, "King Yama didn't punish you with the Soul Whip; I was just joking."
Judge Cui was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up instantly. But when he heard the last sentence, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared, "Aaaaah! Meng Po! I'm going to kill you!!"
However, Meng Po had already teleported away as soon as she said those words.
Meng Po clapped her hands and chuckled: She's not stupid, how could she just stand there and take a beating?
The anger from being oppressed by the King of Hell instantly subsided.
Yan Wenjing pondered for a while, wondering if Pei Yan had heard about the recent rumors, and then sent him a message.
Pei Ruan is selling boxed lunches in the underworld.
At this moment, inside Pei Yan's residence, Tang Yun, in her shrunken form, was lazily lying on Pei Yan's lap, waiting to be fed. Pei Yan peeled grapes and fed them to her.
Just then, my phone rang.
Tang Yun nudged Pei Yan with her paw and said, "Your phone is ringing."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan continued working on his hands and said calmly, "My hands are not functioning properly, so you can take a look for me."
Tang Yun said "oh" and casually rummaged through Pei Yan's phone with her paws, then opened it to check the messages.
"It was sent by Yan Wenjing. He said Pei Ruan is selling boxed lunches in the underworld." After reading the message, Tang Yun said with some doubt, "Wasn't she supposed to be undergoing tribulation? How come she's selling boxed lunches in the underworld?"
He frowned, paused, and said, "Would Heaven agree to this?"
Pei Yan paused in his grape-peeling motion, then said thoughtfully, "Since he said so, it means that girl probably didn't just go there, and that Heaven has tacitly approved it."
Tang Yun stood up from his embrace, looked up at Pei Yan, her golden eyes gleaming, and asked with great interest, "Want to go take a look?"
Pei Yan fed her the fruit, picked up a towel to wipe his hands, and affectionately pinched her nose. "You're craving it, aren't you?"
Tang Yun snorted and denied it, saying, "That's your sister. Don't you want to go see how she's doing?"
Pei Yan stroked her twice. "No matter how she's doing, it's her ordeal. We shouldn't interfere; doing so would only do her a disservice."
Tang Yun suggested, "We can go and see quietly without interfering."
"Okay, go if you want to."
...
The next day, Qin Yunie went to the underworld to sell boxed lunches as usual.
But to her surprise, a very handsome couple came to her lunchbox stall. How handsome were they? She felt that no adjectives could adequately describe it; they were as handsome as the King of Hell.
When Qin Yune saw it, she was so stunned that she didn't even hear what the fairy said. It was only after Lin Sui reminded her that she came to her senses and asked with a blush, "What did you just say?"
Seeing this, Tang Yun couldn't help but laugh and repeated, "I'll take all the rest of the boxed lunches."
Having heard clearly this time, Qin Yune pursed her lips and reminded her, "I still have quite a bit left. How many people are in your family? Can you finish eating so much? If you can't finish it, it will spoil if left for too long. Why don't you consider buying less?"
Tang Yun chuckled, "I'll be eating alone, don't worry, I can finish it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie couldn't help but look at her in surprise. She was tall and slender, and didn't seem like she could eat so much.
Pei Yan was also silently observing Qin Yunie from the side. When he heard her doubtful words, he said calmly, "Pack it for her. She can finish it."
