"Tch, where were you before? You have neither a soul nor a body, how are you going to be of any use?"
Kang Cheng was utterly desperate, staring blankly as he awaited death.
Suddenly, a strange-sounding telephone ringing filled the entire conference room.
Everyone looked around and at each other, wondering whose phone ringtone sounded so awful.
Xiaoxi then remembered that it was her own phone call.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Xiaoxi took out a huge paper phone from her bag—actually, from a brocade storage pouch.
The phone still had buttons, making a "thump thump thump chomp... thump thump thump chomp... thump thump thump chomp..." sound, and it also flashed a gaudy light.
Xiaoxi answered the paper phone, and the receiver was so loud that the entire conference room could hear it.
"Hey, Xiaoxi, it's your brother Li Heng. Many old ministers want to see you. Quickly open the Anywhere Door!"
"Really? Brother Li Heng, I'm very busy... Okay."
Xiaoxi shrugged helplessly. Her godfather, Li Heng, must really be in trouble.
Xiaoxi had no choice but to tell everyone, "Many people from the underworld are coming to see me, Uncle Xu, Director, Captain Zhou, do you think we should avoid them for a while?"
"No need to avoid us!" everyone exclaimed in unison, their eyes gleaming with a strange excitement.
Well then, these people are all mentally strong enough anyway.
Xiaoxi took out a scroll and opened the Anywhere Door.
With a series of booming sounds, Li Heng led a large group of people dressed in ancient costumes out of the Anywhere Door.
Really? So many people? And they're all wearing formal official robes and the like, the kind you only wear to court.
The people in the conference room were shocked to see so many things from the underworld in broad daylight; their hearts skipped several beats.
Seeing so many people, Xiaoxi was speechless: "Brother Liheng, what's going on here?"
"Little Xi, these are all the ancestors of the Kang family." Li Heng was a little embarrassed.
It was quite awkward for him to be the middleman.
The old men couldn't hold back any longer and started chattering away.
"Princess Xi, please save the unfilial son of the Kang family!"
“Princess Xi, please forgive him for the sake of us old ministers.”
"The old man apologizes to you."
Xiaoxi began to understand what was going on.
The old man at the head of the group was quite old and dressed in the attire of a high-ranking civil official in the underworld court. He bowed to Xiaoxi with a red face.
“Princess Xi may not remember this old minister. This old minister is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the first ancestor of the Kang family.”
The Kang family has served as officials for generations and is a family that has accumulated good deeds. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet listed the great achievements made by the Kang family during their service as officials, how many people they saved and how many people they benefited.
No wonder these old guys didn't reincarnate in the underworld; they were all god-like beings, their merits shining brightly.
Seeing that Xiaoxi remained silent, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet knew that Xiaoxi was somewhat relenting, and waited for her to consider it.
He walked up to Vice Mayor Kang and tapped him with his cane.
"You unfilial descendant! You've been honest and upright for so many years, how could you forget your roots in middle age? You even dared to embezzle the fox demon's things? And look at the kind of son you've raised!"
When Vice Mayor Kang suddenly saw his great-great ...
Vice Mayor Kang suddenly knelt down, so ashamed that he wished he could die.
The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet came over again, looking at Xiaoxi with pleading eyes, and said: "I am willing to pay any price as long as my unfilial descendants have a chance to live."
Xiaoxi was in a difficult position; it was really hard to refuse these kind-hearted people.
She sighed, "The Kang family ancestors, in order to prevent their generations of brilliance from being ruined by Kang Cheng, did not hesitate to sacrifice their ancestral merits to save this bastard's life. Kang Cheng's life is too precious, isn't it?"
Hey, I've got an idea!
