Chapter 2: Meeting the Lord of Hell



The ghost brought the Ox-Headed Horse-Faced Demon and Wen Nuan to a dark room and said in a cold voice, "Wait here first. When the Lord of Hell finishes his work, he will come over to deal with you!"

"Yes, yes, thank you all brothers!" Looking at the Niu-Tou who had lost his consciousness and Wen Nuan who was still in a daze, the Horse-Faced Man had no choice but to step forward and greet them.

The ghost ignored the horse-faced demon and disappeared into the room after he finished speaking.

Wen Nuan felt a little dizzy and heavy-headed. After working intensively for several days, she desperately wanted to have a good sleep, but the unknown situation before her made her at a loss as to where to start.

She looked at the Ox-Head who was still muttering to himself and the Horse-Faced Demon who had a sad face, thought for a while, and slowly moved towards the Horse-Faced Demon.

"Um, brother, I want to ask what's going on here?"

Horse-Faced Guard looked at the girl in front of him who was obviously tired, and felt that he should give her an explanation.

"Oh, that's what happened..."

Then Ma Mian told Wen Nuan everything that happened that night.

After a while, "So, you and Brother Niutou got the wrong soul and captured me as Li Anna?"

"Well, that's it..."

"What should I do? Can you take me back? I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."

Wen Nuan looked at Ma Mian expectantly.

"You probably can't go back for the time being. This is my first time on duty, and I encountered a situation like yours. I don't know what to do. We can only wait for Yan Jun to finish his work and then deal with us."

Horse-Faced Guard was also very worried. He burned his relatives' and his entire property as tribute in order to get the job of Soul Catcher. However, such a big mistake happened on his first assignment as an intern. He didn't know what to do.

"When will Lord Yan come? I really want to go home and sleep..."

Wen Nuan felt that she could not hold on any longer. If she were given a bed, she would fall asleep in seconds.

Seeing that Wen Nuan was really sleepy, Horse-Faced Guard looked around and saw a chair not far away. He quickly went over and moved it over. "Here is a chair. Sit down and take a nap. I'll call you when Lord Yan comes."

Wen Nuan was so sleepy that she didn't care about anything else. She thanked Horse-face politely and collapsed on the chair and fell asleep.

Looking at Wen Nuan who fell asleep in seconds, Horse-Faced Man felt extremely guilty. If he and Ox-Headed Man had not been hooked up with each other, the girl would have gone home to rest long ago.

When Horse-Faced Man saw Wen Nuan fall asleep, he looked at Ox-Headed Man who was still lost in his own thoughts, found a place to the side, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.

~~

"Wake up, little girl, wake up!" Horse-Faced Man shook the sleeping Wen Nuan hard and called her to wake her up.

"Um...what's wrong?" Wen Nuan rubbed her eyes dazedly and sat up straight.

"King Yama is here, wake up!" said the Horse-Faced Guard in a low voice.

Wen Nuan then realized that she was now in the underworld. After realizing what had happened, she quickly stood up and followed the Horse-Faced Guard to the center of the room.

The Ox-Headed Demon was kneeling upright on the ground. After waking up Wen Nuan, the Horse-Faced Demon also followed suit and knelt down. Looking at the Ox-Headed Demon and the Horse-Faced Demon kneeling on the ground, Wen Nuan was a little at a loss, but subconsciously, she didn't want to kneel down as well.

Wen Nuan raised her head cautiously and looked towards the main seat, where sat a majestic and rough-bearded man. Wen Nuan thought that this must be Lord Yan.

Yan Jun didn't say anything to Wen Nuan who was standing there stupidly. Instead, he asked sternly, "Niu Tou, do you admit your guilt?"

"Your subordinate...I know my crime..." Niutou replied tremblingly.

"I will not say more about your faults. This is your last chance. Follow the ghost messenger and go to the animal realm to reincarnate!"

"Yes..." Niu Tou's already pale face turned even paler, but he understood how big a mistake he had made, so he gave up begging for mercy and followed the ghost away.

"As for Horse-Faced Commander, since this is your first mission and the main responsibility is not yours, I will sentence you to extend your internship by a hundred years. Are you willing?"

"Yes, I am willing!" Horse-Faced Man didn't expect his punishment to be so light, so he bowed his head quickly to apologize.

“Back off!”

"yes!"

Wen Nuan watched as Lord Yan decisively sent away the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons, leaving her alone in this dim room. She was extremely frightened.

After sending away the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, the Lord of Hell at the main seat secretly observed Wen Nuan. He looked dignified and majestic, but in fact he had been cursing in his heart for a long time, "Damn it, that damn Bull-Headed Demon, he always causes trouble for me. This is the fifth one who has seduced the wrong soul! However, this girl doesn't look like a difficult person. I don't know if I can get rid of her..."

Seeing that Yan Jun didn't say anything and just stared at her "fiercely", Wen Nuan became even more frightened.

After a long while, Lord Yan finally spoke: "Regarding your case, it was the fault of the Soul Catcher. After I was done with my work, I immediately checked your body, but unfortunately, it had already been cremated, so you cannot return to the world."

"Then...what should we do then?"

In fact, Wen Nuan was not very concerned about whether she could be resurrected. She was an orphan, without a father or a mother, and even without one or two friends except her colleagues. All she had was endless overtime work and endless loneliness.

"Well, although I can't let you return to your body, since your life span has not yet ended, I will find a new body for you so that you can live out the rest of your life. However, it will not be a modern body, but a body from another era in a parallel time and space."

"Can I ask what body it is? Can I choose it myself?"
