Yan Wenjing returned to the underworld with a brisk pace, still exuding a chilling aura. He coldly told the guards, "Summon the Black and White Impermanence to see me."
The two ghosts guarding the door looked at each other, sensing something was wrong, and immediately contacted Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu.
In the Hall of the King of Hell.
Yan Wenjing sat upright in the palace hall.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu rushed over, glancing at Yan Wenjing, whose expression was not good, before bowing respectfully and calling out, "King Yama, did you want to see us?"
Yan Wenjing tossed the jade slip of passage directly in front of the two men and said in a deep voice, "Can either of you tell me what's going on? How can a pass to the underworld be on a living person?"
Upon seeing the jade slip, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu immediately realized that the King of Hell had discovered Qin Yunie's affair. "You ran into her?"
"When we were capturing the evil spirit that had fled, we happened to run into her having her soul taken by this evil spirit." Yan Wenjing sneered, "Trying to become stronger by devouring living souls is utterly absurd."
The powerful aura made Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu lower their heads even further and report, "This jade slip was indeed given to her by us. The Great Emperor of Dongyue liked her cooking, so he gave her the token and the Resurrection Pill in order to let her set up a stall to sell boxed lunches in the underworld."
Yan Wenjing tapped his long, slender fingers on the table, pondering as he said, "It's ultimately inappropriate for the living to be in the underworld. That girl is still lying there; remember to clean up the mess and tell her that she can't set up a stall in the underworld anymore."
Xie Bi'an opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Yan Wenjing glanced at him and said, "As for the Great Emperor of Dongyue, I will personally go and talk to him."
"This escaped evil spirit will be punished with thirty soul lashes, which you will personally carry out. If it doesn't vanish into nothingness, send it to the animal realm," Yan Wenjing said, tossing the token containing the evil spirit to Xie Bi'an.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu responded, "Yes."
Only after Yan Wenjing left did Fan Wujiu finally let out a breath. "The King of Hell was too imposing today; I didn't even dare to speak. If we had made a mistake today, I'm afraid that soul whip would have fallen on us. Hiss... Just thinking about it makes me scared."
As he spoke, Fan Wujiu unconsciously trembled.
The Soul Whip is so deadly that even gods would be skinned alive if they came, let alone ghosts.
The Soul Whip is different from ordinary whips. Other whips strike the body, causing only physical pain that will subside after a while.
However, the Soul Whip strikes the soul with every blow. Whether it is a human, a ghost, or an immortal, once struck by the Soul Whip, the soul will be left with an indelible wound that may cause pain at any moment.
It's easy to imagine how terrifying this Soul Whip is.
Thirty lashes...
The evil spirit can only pray that it will be completely annihilated; otherwise, its severely injured soul will not only be born with defects, but will also suffer permanent pain due to the wounds in its soul.
Xie Bi'an: "If you do things seriously, you won't be punished."
Fan Wujiu sighed, "It's such a pity that we won't be able to eat such delicious boxed lunches anymore."
Xie Bi'an glanced at him, then poked his head in an annoyed tone and said, "You should think about how to talk to that girl after the punishment is over."
...
In her dream, Qin Yunie was constantly being chased by that terrifying figure. She sat up in fright, her heart pounding so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, and her clenched fists—all testament to her fear.
After a while, Qin Yune looked around and, finding no trace of the dark figure, realized she was lying on her own bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like a dream?
She picked up her phone and saw that it was already a day later.
She felt weak and sore all over, as if her body didn't belong to her.
Just then, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
"You're awake?"
Qin Yunie looked up and saw Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu. As soon as they opened their mouths, she noticed that their voices were strange, so low and hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear what they were saying unless you listened carefully.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu clearly knew what she wanted to say. Fan Wujiu was a little guilty, "Ahem... well..."
Xie Bi'an concealed part of the truth, saying, "You were attacked by an evil spirit that escaped from the underworld. You may feel a little unwell for the next couple of days, but you'll be fine in a couple of days."
“Normally, the rules of the underworld require the erasure of this part of the memory. When a normal person wakes up, they will only feel that they had a dream. However, your soul is unstable, and if we rashly alter the memory, there may be side effects. If you do not want to remember that memory, we can help you blur it out.”
Fan Wujiu immediately followed up, saying, "We have already given you the pills, but you still need to rest for two days. Spend these two days basking in the sun to boost your yang energy, which will help remove the residual yin energy from your body more quickly."
Thinking about what happened that night and the dream she just had, Qin Yunie had a vague feeling that such things might happen more often in the future.
Moreover, she now goes to the underworld every day, and the souls she encounters cannot all be intact.
If she can't handle that, then she shouldn't have set up a stall in the underworld.
Wanting to make money without facing any difficulties? There's no such thing as an easy life.
So she shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need to remove it."
Fan Wujiu nodded, somewhat hesitant about how to tell Qin Yunie that she couldn't continue running her stall.
Xie Bi'an said directly, "King Yama found out about your stall in the underworld, so you may not be able to continue doing so in the future."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie felt as if the sky had fallen.
The King of Hell found out... you can't keep running this stall anymore...
These two sentences seemed to keep repeating in Qin Yunie's mind.
Her money bag is gone...
That's all...
After Qin Yu's world collapsed, his anger surged to his head, and he lost all reason.
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents!
That King Yama is so heartless!
She's just setting up a stall in the underworld, she's not doing anything!
So old-fashioned, he must be a very old and decrepit man!
Qin Yunie's mind conjured up an image of a burly man with dark skin and a long beard from a TV series, who would occasionally stroke his beard, and he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
There might be some hidden illness that no one knows about!
That's why I'm so harsh!
