Qin Ya smiled, her eyes flickering slightly, and said coquettishly, "Does Miss really have to explain everything to me so clearly? I remember how Miss treats me."
Before Linghu Lan could answer, Qin Ya continued, "When I arrived in the underworld, I reported to the Ten Kings of Hell about the ghost messenger who had mistakenly taken the wrong soul. The ghost messenger has just been taken back into custody."
"just?"
“That’s right, that ghost messenger just came to this palace, presumably to capture this little girl’s soul.” Qin Ya pointed to Qiu Xiang lying on the bed.
Linghu Lan glanced at Qiu Xiang. This little girl was really lucky. The ghost messenger tried to take her soul, but her soul wasn't taken away. Instead, the ghost messenger's soul was taken away.
This luck is truly incredible!
She thought for a moment and then said, "Then why didn't the ghost official take away Qiu Xiang's soul when he took away the ghost messenger's soul as well?"
“It’s not that the ghost official didn’t want to,” Qin Ya smiled. “It’s just that Qiu Xiang’s soul had already returned to her body at that time, which means she was still alive. There’s no reason to lure her a second time. Although if the King of Hell calls you to die at midnight, who would dare to keep you alive until dawn? But there’s always an exception. The so-called Heavenly Way never ends, it always leaves a glimmer of hope. That’s what it means.”
"I see!" Linghu Lan nodded. "Are you getting used to your time in the Ghost Mansion?"
Qin Ya lowered her head and laughed heartily, "Of course I'm used to it. I haven't told you yet, Miss, that the one who commands 100,000 ghost soldiers in that ghost palace is my father. I must thank you for helping me reunite with my father."
Linghu Lan: "..." So there was a backdoor.
Qin Ya saw Linghu Lan's expression and laughed heartily.
Actually, she never expected this. Although she had heard the old Taoist priest say that her father could become a high-ranking official in the Ghost Palace, she thought it was just nonsense. Who knew it was actually true?
Although she met the King of Hell and received a title, she was blessed with divine light from the underworld, which made her ghostly body even more solid.
But it wasn't easy for a newcomer like her to sue a ghost official who was extremely senior.
Later, after exchanging information about each other's backgrounds, the King of Hell learned that she was Qin Youming's daughter and invited her father to meet her. After they recognized each other, things went much more smoothly afterward.
When Yama heard that he had such a fool under his command, he immediately ordered someone to arrest him and bring him to justice, which ironically saved Qiu Xiang.
She pulled Qiu Xiang out of the water.
After Qiu Xiang got ashore, she walked back with her eyes wide open.
She followed behind and saw that Linghu Lan was not afraid of this strange sight, but rather calm and composed. She was deeply impressed. If she had been so calm back then, she probably wouldn't have fallen.
The two chatted for a while longer, and then the roosters crowed outside.
Qin Ya reluctantly took her leave, and Linghu Lan watched her go.
He went back to sleep on the tatami mat on the other side.
She felt like she had become a night owl, not sleeping at night. Either ghosts would come to chat with her, or teenagers would come to ask her to look at the stars. Her life rhythm was completely off!
She lay down on the couch and quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the outside world was ablaze with flames.
The fire at the Prince's mansion finally broke out.
The fire started in the woodshed. The weather was already hot, so the fire spread very quickly, and the entire palace was turned into a sea of fire in no time.
When Linghu Lan opened the door, flames immediately rushed in.
