In the underworld, King Qin Guang was so angry that his eyebrows and beard stood on end as he glared at the group of ghost messengers.
"Are you just going to watch that mortal steal the Book of Life and Death, and then swagger around my Underworld with another mortal as if it were his own territory?"
Judge: "I can't beat them."
Cui Jue: "Her fate is unusual; she cannot be moved."
The Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons, "the merit points almost blinded us."
The Black and White Impermanence said, "She gave so much."
Daytime wanderer, nighttime wanderer, "The fairy is even prettier than the live streamer~"
The Black and White Impermanence placed the things left behind by Xinghe on King Qin Guang's table, saying, "This is a tribute to you, something that can repair damaged souls. Please try it."
King Qin Guang: ...
His soul has been injured for some time. How could a mere mortal possibly help him?
King Qin Guang looked at his group of incompetent subordinates and waved his hand, "Get out of here, get out of here."
After everyone had left, he glanced at the dark pill several times.
He smelled a particularly fragrant scent, which seeped into his soul. His aching soul felt as if it had been parched for a long time and had received timely rain, which relieved the pain and gave rise to a deeper longing.
Even if someone tampered with the medicine, they couldn't harm a mere mortal.
He picked up the pill, looked at it for a few seconds, and swallowed it.
The elixir melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and the medicine began to repair the damaged soul.
King Qin Guang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he unconsciously tapped the ground twice.
The suggestion about the cycle of reincarnation that he had made earlier resurfaced in his mind once again.
The underworld is becoming increasingly restless. The souls who have lost hope of reincarnation are gradually losing patience. If this continues, the underworld will surely descend into chaos.
Something happened to the Emperor, and there has been no news for a long time. Could it be that we really have to place our hopes on a mortal?

Xinghe held a small stick in his hand and swung it back and forth, saying, "Lift it higher, don't be lazy."
The golden boy and jade girl stood in the corner, each holding a stick.
The boy was in tears, while the girl was indignant, her curly hair practically standing on end.
Xinghe could only sigh, raising children is really difficult.
She reached out and took the little boy and girl into her arms. The two tiny creatures were not much bigger than her hand.
As soon as Jin Tong sensed Xinghe's presence, he immediately grabbed her hand, nuzzled against her, and looked extremely pitiful with tears in his eyes.
The Jade Maiden had her back to Xinghe, her little face puffed up, looking as angry as a pufferfish. Xinghe, itching to poke her cheeks twice, reached out and poked her cheeks twice.
It's soft, tender, and bouncy.
Jade Maiden: ? ? !!
She's still angry!!
The pufferfish was so angry it looked like it was about to explode.
"You are spirits formed from the essence of heaven and earth, why are you arguing with a few mortals?"
Jin Tong said, "I hate them. They bully my sister."
The maiden snorted.
Xinghe said, "Logically speaking, they are just protecting their younger sister. They grew up with Shengyue and it's normal for them to side with her."
The two little devils vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but they couldn't refute Xinghe, so they sulked.
“I have said that indiscriminately using one’s power to harm mortals will backfire, and what I am worried about is you.”
The two little ones were still a bit unconvinced, but not as much as before. They squatted on Xinghe's palm, seemingly angry at them or at themselves.
Xinghe patted the two little ones. "But emotionally speaking, I also hate them. I know you're doing this to help me get revenge."
The maiden huffed, "Then why did you give them so many tranquilizers?"
"Because they are them, and we are us. It is only right and proper for me to help you repay your debts, but settling accounts with outsiders is the most important thing."
The boy and girl's tempers came and went quickly; a few words were enough to make them happy, and they happily swung on the swing while holding Xinghe's hand.
There was a disturbance outside the formation. Xinghe looked over and saw two wild ghosts and a local deity wandering in the courtyard.
Xinghe let them in.
Two ghosts and a local deity, facing the Milky Way, revealing the same smile.
Xinghe, "You haven't gone back yet?"
A ghost rubbed its hands excitedly, "Fairy, do you have any use for us? We'll serve you like cattle and horses, at your beck and call."
The other ghost was even more direct, kneeling down in front of Xinghe with a thud, "Fairy, we want to follow you."
If they could latch onto such a powerful patron, they and their descendants for generations would be rich.
A ghost: Damn, this wasn't part of the rehearsal. That's so cunning.
A ghost knelt down in front of Xinghe, tears streaming down its face, "Please take us in. We'll do a lot of things. Even if all else fails, we still have dozens of children and grandchildren. They may not be successful, but they still have a voice in Beijing."
“Our good-for-nothing children have no other skills but a little money, even though you, Fairy, look down on these gold and silver things.”
Xinghe's eyes lit up. "Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
"Although you, Fairy, look down on these yellow and white things."
"The previous sentence."
"Our good-for-nothing kids have no other skills, but they have a little money?"
Xinghe's eyes brightened even more, and he patted one of the ghosts on the shoulder, "Alright, it's the two of you. I do have something I need you to do."
Although she couldn't take money that didn't belong to her, Xinghe always believed that one's surroundings influenced one's character, and that if she spent more time with these rich people, she would become rich too!
Moreover, the things she had been planning all along needed to be done by someone.
When Xinghe first met the two ghosts, he had already seen their past lives and karma.
The two ghosts were brothers who worked together to make their company bigger and stronger. However, their foundation was not solid, which led to disaster. A man-made plane crash killed the two brothers.
They were unwilling to simply watch their enemies ruin the foundation they had built with their own hands.
Taking advantage of the seven-day period when the souls of the two ghosts returned to the underworld, they left a clue for their own child and brought down their enemy. Because of this, they missed their time to return to the underworld, and they were tainted by the karma of their past lives. They will definitely be judged when they return to the underworld.
They simply became wandering ghosts, buried on the mountain in their hometown, receiving offerings from their own family.
Putting aside everything else, their family is united. Several of the brothers' children and grandchildren have become prominent figures, further expanding the family business. Now, although they cannot compare with the oldest and most established families in Beijing, they are still a force to be reckoned with.
Xinghe wanted to do something, and these two ghosts could actually help, so she took them in. The two ghosts had been dead for almost thirty years, and she had almost forgotten their names.
To make it easier to remember, let's just call them one ghost and another ghost.
The two ghosts were overjoyed to hear the names Xinghe had given them.
Then, both the human and the two ghosts looked at the quiet, almost mushroom-like land in the corner.
