However, not long after the food was delivered, two ghosts and a large, dusty-looking crow entered the bamboo forest.
"Waaaaah~ I, the Great King, am finally back!"
As soon as the big crow returned, it started babbling on and on, telling Yue Jiuling everything that had happened to it these past few days: "Oh dear, Yue Jiuling, let me tell you, that rascal hid really well! We followed the police for days before we finally found him, but thankfully we did, otherwise this great king would have been exhausted!"
The big crow also couldn't distinguish between Yue Jiuli and Yue Jiuling, but Yue Jiuling was too lazy to explain it to him. She already knew about the female ghost, so she just watched the two ghosts who had returned with the big crow.
The female ghost looked to be in pretty good condition, probably having taken her revenge, and the resentment in her body had lessened considerably. But the male ghost was in a much worse state; his soul had been damaged and he was on the verge of death. However, he had already died once, so he wasn't going to die again for now.
The female ghost, just like the giant crow, couldn't distinguish between Yue Jiuling and Yue Jiuli. She grabbed the male ghost and said to Yue Jiuling with a smug look on her face, "Miss Yue, I have taken my revenge. Please send both of us to the underworld. Thank you."
"Hmm, it seems you've gotten your revenge quite successfully."
Yue Jiuling looked at the male ghost with a smile. The male ghost looked very miserable because the female ghost had become a vengeful ghost with a cultivation level above him. In addition, he was still a new soul, so the male ghost was no match for the female ghost. Therefore, he could only be beaten.
Yue Jiuling glanced at the male ghost a few times, then raised her hand and waved it towards the void. A ghost gate carrying a cold wind appeared, and the ghost messengers inside opened the gate and came out.
"Hey, you guys are pretty punctual!"
As soon as Yue Jiuling saw the ghost messenger, she smiled and pointed at the two ghosts, saying, "Go and take them away!"
The ghost messenger seemed to have known all along that Yue Jiuling would send him a ghost. He nodded and said, "Yes, we saw this in the Book of Life and Death a long time ago, so we've been waiting here for a while now."
"Oh, okay, then you can take them with you~"
"Um."
The ghost messenger quickly handcuffed the two ghosts and took them back to the underworld.
As the Gate of Hell closed, Yue Jiuling looked puzzled. For some reason, when she saw the overlapping ghostly figures inside the Gate, she had a strange, inexplicable feeling.
"Miss Yue, what's wrong?"
Hao Zhu, who was eating nearby, noticed that Yue Jiuling had suddenly spaced out, so he called out to her a few times: "Miss Yue? Yue..."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Yue Jiuling was brought back to her senses by Hao Zhu. She grabbed the chopsticks in her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, it's nothing, I just noticed you were spacing out and called out to you..."
Hao Zhu looked at Yue Jiuling and said, "You were staring in the direction of the Ghost Gate. What were you looking at? By the way, do you know what the Ghost Realm is like?"
Hao Zhu was originally a spirit bamboo, and then became a bamboo fairy. Although he was demoted to the mortal realm, he only lived in the human realm and the heavenly realm. He had never been to the ghost realm or other places, so he was very curious about other places.
"Actually, I didn't see much, it just seemed like there were a bit more ghosts in the ghost realm~"
Yue Jiuling snapped out of her daze and said, "As for what the Ghost Realm is like, well, it's full of ghosts. What else could the Ghost Realm have besides ghosts?"
"Um, you're right~"
After hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Hao Zhu didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and ate his meal. After finishing his meal, he went into the space inside the bamboo again, but this time he still didn't find anything.
"Sigh~ If he really doesn't wake up, then so be it. Don't worry, his spiritual power has been slowly recovering recently, and I believe he will wake up soon."
Seeing how concerned Hao Zhu was about the bamboo spirit, Yue Jiuling said, "Anyway, we'll come here to see it often, so nothing will happen."
Hao Zhu knew that Yue Jiuling often came to the bamboo forest to help him look after the bamboo, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I'll come to see him more often these days when I have time."
“Yes, I’ll come here often too,” Yue Jiuling said. “By the way, aren’t you a celebrity now? How come you can still stay in the same place so often?”
Hao Zhu said, "That's usually how it is, but I'm different. I rarely take on roles, and for certain reasons, I can choose the roles I take on myself."
At first, Yue Jiuling didn't understand why Hao Zhu could be an exception, but after seeing Hao Zhu's smile, she understood.
