"Are you trying to die? Cutting in line to drink the Meng Po soup? Why didn't you die sooner when you were supposed to?"
"I've already told you I'm in a hurry, can't you give me a break?"
"Why should I let your mom have her way, since it's her first time being a ghost?!"
Two ghosts were pushing and shoving each other in the center, while the other ghosts around them were jeering.
"Oh dear, it's not the first time I've been a ghost, you just don't remember."
"Cutting in line? Shameless!"
"Yeah, can't we just send them to the eighteenth level of hell? This is so annoying!"
"I was cut off in line when I was alive, and I'm still cut off in line after I'm dead. How does your underworld manage things?"
Everyone clearly detested this act of cutting in line.
An old woman was at the end of the road, using a large ladle to boil soup. The ladle was almost as big as her whole body.
She smiled and moved the spoon with her hand, completely unaffected by the farce.
The King of Hell was watching the show with his hands behind his back when Shen Yulou slapped him on the head from behind.
"hiss"
He immediately jumped and covered the back of his injured head with his hand.
Shen Yulou's irritating voice rang in my ears.
"You make me do such a small thing? Why don't you just throw that person in line into the animal realm?"
“It’s different, Ghost King. Look, he has a very strong aura. I’ve never seen such a strong aura before. I’m a little scared.”
"Someone like him has an unknown chance of being reincarnated after drinking the Meng Po soup."
"How could I throw someone into the animal realm? I dare not."
"I can't afford the karmic burden of this."
King Yama curled his lip, took out his Book of Life and Death, and sure enough, there was a name on it shining with dazzling golden light.
Strictly speaking, the underworld is not under the jurisdiction of the demon realm; it is an independent organization.
After all, whether it's an immortal, a demon, or a human who has perished, as long as their soul hasn't been completely scattered, they will come here to be reincarnated.
However, Shen Yulou happens to be a ghost king, so under the Heavenly Laws, he has the right to control all ghosts.
Although we can't decide a ghost's reincarnation like the King of Hell, we can still use some methods to deal with ghosts.
In addition, the underworld is not a peaceful place. There are many strange people who fight, occupy mountains, and refuse to leave the underworld.
When Yama couldn't handle the situation, he would call on Shen Yulou for help. Over time, the relationship between Yama's Palace and the Demon Realm became closer.
"What should we do then?"
Shen Yulou snatched the Book of Life and Death from Yama's hand and stood aside to discuss a solution.
The surrounding environment was bustling and noisy, but the little one sniffed his pink little nose.
It smells so good! What's that smell?
The little one smacked his lips, his eyes searching for the source of the fragrance.
Is that the soup that the old lady was making?
I want to drink it...
But he didn't dare tell Shen's father, because Shen's father would definitely not give him snacks.
I didn't want to trouble my father, so I didn't tell him.
Your baby is a good boy, just think about it!
Nine little tails obediently clung to the baby's body, and a few even served as cushions for the baby's chin.
"Your son?"
The King of Hell bent down, met the innocent eyes of the little one, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his smooth fur.
"Um."
"You take that ghost to the King of Hell's palace first, and we'll settle this privately. Let's not delay someone else's auspicious time for reincarnation."
Shen Yulou sent Yama, the King of Hell, to capture the ghost who cut in line.
"Come with me."
Under the command of King Yama, the ghostly soldiers passed through layers of ghostly shadows, removed the ghost's clasp that had cut in line, and escorted it all the way to King Yama's palace.
"Tell me, why did you cut in line?"
King Yama straightened his robes and sat down in the main seat.
I'm in a hurry.
The boy spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but his knees tumbled down to his knees with a thud.
"Why rush? Reincarnation is arranged by Heaven at its appointed time; there's no use in being anxious."
Shen Yulou and Yama exchanged glances on the high platform, after which Yama threw down a wooden stick.
"You are guilty of both death and punishment. You have disrupted the order of the underworld. Go to the dungeon for a few days and reflect on your actions."
