Qin Yunie was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave, when she saw them talking. She never expected Judge Cui to call her directly.
She could even feel Meng Po's gaze on her, and could only force a smile as she said, "Well, I'm here to pay my grandmother's reincarnation fee. Does Judge Cui know where to pay it?"
Judge Cui's eyes flashed. "You're looking for the King of Hell? Just give it to him directly."
Qin Yunie nodded, "Then I'll go find King Yama first, you guys continue."
He then nodded and smiled at Meng Po before preparing to leave.
At this moment, Judge Cui said, "I'll take you there. King Yama isn't in the side hall right now."
Meng Po sneered, "Why is Judge Cui in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you take me with you to see King Yama?"
Judge Cui: "..."
He said helplessly, "Meng Po, it's no use bothering me. As long as you don't ask those ghost messengers to drink the soup for you, they won't complain about you, and the problem will be solved, right? Otherwise, even if you go to the King of Hell, it won't help."
Meng Po said irritably, "Then how can I improve this soup? If I don't improve it, you all complain that it tastes terrible! You want the horse to work but don't provide it with the necessary equipment!"
It tastes bad?
Upon hearing this, Judge Cui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked Qin Yunie over once.
Qin Yune felt a chill run down her spine from his sudden gaze, vaguely sensing that something was amiss. Just as she was about to suggest that she go over first, she heard Judge Cui say with a delighted expression, "That's easy!"
Meng Po was taken aback by his sudden excitement.
Judge Cui became more and more excited as he spoke, "Didn't you say that the soup you made was terrible? Look, this is Miss Qin, her cooking is absolutely amazing! Even the King of Hell loves her cooking. Didn't you want to improve the Meng Po soup and make it taste better? Ask Miss Qin for help! She cooks so well, making Meng Po soup is a piece of cake for her."
Qin Yunie: "..."
Hey! Judge Cui harmed her!!
Meng Po's gaze fell on her again, this time with a noticeable difference in her scrutiny, "Is she a living person?"
"Yes, but she's a great cook!"
Qin Yunie awkwardly explained, "No, it was Judge Cui who praised me."
Judge Cui: "That's true! Doesn't the King of Hell have you deliver meals to him every day?"
Qin Yune forced a smile and said, "Yes, but that's because..." She had touched the King of Hell's abs as an apology...
Before she could explain, Judge Cui continued, "Does your food stall attract a lot of ghosts? Do you sell out of all the boxed lunches you make every day?!"
Qin Yunie: "Yes... but that's because..." She didn't do much, and there were no boxed lunches in the underworld...
The more Meng Po listened, the brighter her beautiful eyes became. "Is she really that amazing? Her cooking is so delicious?"
Judge Cui spoke with great enthusiasm, "Of course! The Bridge of Helplessness is quite far, you probably don't know that, right? It's because Miss Qin's cooking skills are superb that King Yama specially allowed her to set up a stall selling boxed lunches in the underworld. You know, Miss Qin is currently very popular in the underworld. Many ghosts love to eat the boxed lunches she sells! Xie Bi'an, Fan Wujiu, and the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak are all regular customers of Miss Qin! You must try it when you have time, I guarantee you won't forget it after just one bite."
"Moreover, Miss Qin recently collaborated with the Underworld on a new business and even got the Underworld to publish its first newspaper. Although not every ghost knows about it, half of the ghosts should have heard about it."
Qin Yunie, listening from the side, felt a chill run down his spine, and his awkward smile almost crumbled.
Meng Po looked at Qin Yune with astonishingly bright eyes, "Really?"
Judge Cui said with certainty, "Of course! You should let Miss Qin taste your Meng Po soup tomorrow, maybe she can come up with a way to improve it!"
Meng Po readily agreed, "Then it's settled."
Qin Yunie was on the verge of tears. Why didn't anyone ask for her opinion?
Who gave Judge Cui such confidence that she could handle the Meng Po soup?
And isn't Meng Po too trusting of Judge Cui?
How could they have made a decision to let her improve the Meng Po soup without even tasting the food she made?
She's never drunk it...
What if the improved version tastes even worse than the original? Will she also be complained about by the ghost messengers?
Qin Yunie politely declined, "Um... I've been quite busy lately..."
Meng Po waved her hand, "It's alright, I can go to your house."
Qin Yunie: "..."
She's busy...
Meng Po immediately took out her phone and handed it to Qin Yune, "Little girl, let's exchange contact information. Are you free tonight? Is it convenient for me to come to your house for a meal?"
Seeing her hurried and efficient manner, Qin Yunie gave her no time to refuse, so she had no choice but to take out her phone, open the interface, and hand it over, saying, "Convenient."
Meng Po added the soup while saying, "As long as it's convenient, just give me an address in a bit, and I'll carry the pot to your house. If you can help me improve the Meng Po soup, you can walk sideways in the underworld. If they dare to say a word against you, I'll let them know why the other shore flower is so red!"
Qin Yune trembled nervously upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Meng Po paused for a moment, seemingly feeling that what she said had put too much pressure on Qin Yune, and added, "But don't worry, it's okay even if you don't change your ways. If those ghosts or these ghost messengers bully you, you can still tell me."
For some reason, Judge Cui had a vague sense of foreboding.
Even though he had just handed over the hot potato of Meng Po to Qin Yune, he felt even more uneasy.
After exchanging contact information, Meng Po regained her charming demeanor, tossing her hair and looking completely different from the shrew she had just been.
She chuckled, "Then you go pay the fee first, little girl. I'm going back to the Bridge of Helplessness. If I don't go back, those ghosts won't stay still. We can have a good chat tonight."
Qin Yunie nodded.
Just as Meng Po was about to leave, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and a box appeared in her hand. She turned around, walked back to Qin Yune's side, and handed it to her, saying, "Sister Meng doesn't have any gifts for you, but I got this little thing by accident before, so I'll give it to you as a gift."
Qin Yune declined, saying, "Sister Meng, there's no need for a gift..."
Without a word, Meng Po stuffed it into her arms. "Don't rush to refuse. I don't really need this. If you feel bad, then make me some good food tonight. I'm craving what Judge Cui just said."
Before leaving, Meng Po leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Stay away from this charcoal-faced man. This judge's heart is as black as his face."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunie subconsciously glanced in the direction of Judge Cui, his brow twitching violently.
Is this something she can hear?
Meng Po didn't care about any of that. She patted her shoulder and swayed away.
When Judge Cui saw Qin Yune looking at him, he guessed that Meng Po had probably said something to her. "Don't believe what she says, it's all nonsense."
