Yan Wenjing looked down at him and asked casually, "What do you want?"
Such a powerful aura caused all the other ghosts to kneel down, and even the ghosts passing by nearby knelt down, shouting loudly, "Welcome, King Yama!"
Qin Yunie stared wide-eyed in surprise when she saw Yan Wenjing floating in mid-air.
Didn't he just leave?
Why are you back again?
But... that pose of the King of Hell is really cool!
His long hair, cascading down his back, billowed in the wind, and his imposing aura made his handsome face appear somewhat sharp. Qin Yunie wasn't a lovesick fool, but at this moment, he was still a little dazed.
In a daze, all the ghosts were already kneeling down. Qin Yune looked at the grand scene before her and witnessed the power of the King of Hell.
This is a magnificent sight that can never be seen on earth.
Qin Yunie looked at all the ghosts kneeling, and saw that she was the only one standing, which seemed a bit out of place.
Just as she was hesitating whether to kneel down as well, Xie Bi'an and Judge Cui arrived right behind her.
Looking at the ghosts kneeling in a mess, and Qin Yune still standing there motionless, seemingly 'frightened'.
Xie Bi'an and Cui Yu couldn't just go over there under these circumstances, since so many ghosts were watching, and they couldn't openly show favoritism.
Qi San stiffly turned his head, and upon seeing Yan Wenjing in mid-air, he trembled as he got up from the ground and knelt down. "King Yama, I was just trying to scare her. Even if you hadn't come, I wouldn't dare to do anything under your jurisdiction."
Yan Wenjing's long, dark hair swayed slightly as he casually remarked, "Is that so?"
The simple two words made Qi San's already pale face turn even paler, and large beads of fear even trickled down his forehead. He stammered, "Yes, yes, I... I was just... just talking nonsense. Yes, I was just talking nonsense. I really didn't mean to do anything."
Qin Yunie raised an eyebrow; that wasn't what he had just said.
Yan Wenjing ignored him and turned her gaze to Qin Yunie, the only one standing in the room: "..."
He then turned his attention back to the scene and said calmly, "Take away all those who are causing trouble."
Xie Bi'an and Cui Yu responded, "Yes."
Then he summoned the ghost messengers to take these troublesome ghosts away.
Xie Bi'an walked straight to Qin Yunie's side and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Just tell the truth when the time comes. As long as it's not your fault, the King of Hell won't do anything to you."
Qin Yunie subconsciously looked at Yan Wenjing, then nodded, "Okay, thank you, Brother Xie."
She didn't ask why the message she sent to Xie Bi'an was answered by the King of Hell; she simply assumed he hadn't returned to the King of Hell's palace yet and happened to be nearby.
The ghost messengers arrived quickly and took the other ghosts away one after another.
Xiao Nie looked worriedly at Qin Yune, who had been taken away by Xie Bi'an. She was a living person who had been caught by the King of Hell getting involved in a large-scale disturbance in the underworld. Now that she had been taken away by the King of Hell, even if she knew the Black and White Impermanence, she probably wouldn't have a good time, given the King of Hell's impartiality and authority.
Qin Yunie noticed Xiao Nie's gaze, winked at him, and signaled him not to worry.
Yan Wenjing noticed her movements, glanced at Xiao Nie, and returned to the Underworld.
The Palace of the King of Hell.
Yan Wenjing sat on the throne in the main hall, Judge Cui stood beside him, and Xie Bi'an stood not far from Qin Yunie.
The main hall was dimly lit and glowed with a green light. Even without a word being spoken, it still instilled a sense of fear in people.
Qin Yunie never expected that she would be able to visit the King of Hell's Palace today, a place she couldn't even reach in her previous life.
She glanced at Yan Wenjing, who looked even more imposing as he sat atop the throne, and her impression of the King of Hell as a rigid figure completely vanished, replaced by the image of the King of Hell she had now.
But whose idea was it to have such eerie lighting in the Yama King's Palace?
It's really a bit scary!
However, the layout of the Yama King's Palace is quite modern.
Yan Wenjing, standing above, saw Qin Yunie's little actions clearly. His eyes were filled with complex emotions; it was the first time someone had dared to look around so casually in the main hall.
I don't know if her calmness stemmed from her belief that he wouldn't let anything happen to her, or if she was simply carefree.
Qin Yunie was unaware that Yan Wenjing was watching everything she did, and he was still looking around with great interest, his eyes lighting up with curiosity when he saw something attractive.
Soon, Yan Wenjing's indifferent question interrupted Qin Yunie's wandering thoughts: "Who are you below, and why are you causing trouble?"
Qi San had previously boasted that he knew the King of Hell, but in reality, it was just that his uncle also worked in the underworld and usually caused minor trouble, which his uncle would turn a blind eye to and smooth things over for him.
But if his uncle found out that he had caused trouble for others and had been arrested by the King of Hell, he already anticipated that, given his uncle's personality, he would definitely abandon him without hesitation!
Qi San had long since lost his arrogance. "My name is Qi San, and I am the owner of Juxiangtang Incense Shop. We didn't cause any trouble; it was just a friendly exchange between merchants."
Qin Yune put aside his chaotic thoughts and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, my name is Qin Yune. With your permission, I set up a small stall selling boxed lunches in the Underworld. Today, this Boss Qi suddenly said that if I want to sell incense, I must get it from him, otherwise I can't sell it, and the price must be the same as his! Your Majesty, I want to ask, isn't the Underworld supposed to be a place of free trade? Isn't his forcing merchants to buy from him a form of coercion, triggering the laws of the Underworld?!"
She said righteously, "I don't know if he does this kind of thing often, but if so, how many merchants in the underworld have suffered such persecution! How dare he be so arrogant on your territory! Isn't this a blatant challenge to your authority? If this situation isn't stopped from continuing, how will you manage those ghosts in the future!"
By the end, Qin Yune's voice was noticeably more angry, "He even almost poked my food with a fan! As a chef, how could I just stand by and watch my hard-earned food be ruined like that! So I refused, and he had a ghost smash my food cart! I just bought this brand new food cart yesterday! I only used it for the first time today! And it was smashed like that!!"
Xie Bi'an's brow twitched at Qin Yunie's righteous words, and he subconsciously looked up to see the King of Hell's expression.
He never expected her to be so bold as to say such things in front of the King of Hell.
Qi San was so shocked by Qin Yunie's blunt words that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. This woman had no sense of chivalry at all!
However, there was a hint of schadenfreude in it, how dare they say such things in front of the King of Hell!
Since she's courting death, then she can't blame him!
Yan Wenjing: "..."
Yan Wenjing remained silent for a long time before speaking in a low voice: "What you say makes sense. If this matter is not severely punished, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"Qi San, is what she said true?"
Qi San dared not admit it and quickly explained, "No, no, it was really just a friendly exchange. How could I dare to act recklessly on your turf? My uncle often taught me not to bully others, and I have always strictly followed the rules of the underworld and dared not do anything reckless. The reason I came to see Boss Qin this time is because I hope that the prices in the underworld can be standardized. Merchants cannot engage in price wars. Although it is a matter between merchants, it involves many innocent ghosts in the underworld!"
