Upon seeing the young general enter, Zhao Youliang and his companion quickly bowed.
Through this period of contact, Zhao Youliang's adoptive father has come to know that the young general is a "god," and even a great "god" among "gods."
So it wasn't surprising to see Zhao Youliang kowtowing to the other party, and I even wanted to kowtow to him as well.
The young general simply smiled and waved his hand, and the three of them could no longer kneel down.
"Hehe, Quantum, I arranged the best hospital room for your girl. Aren't I generous enough?"
"Let me tell you, I'm the best person. If anyone can't get along with me, they should look for their own faults."
Zhao Youliang wasn't stupid; of course he knew how to flatter and fawn.
Upon hearing this, he quickly straightened his neck and said, "Absolutely!"
The young general was clearly quite satisfied with Zhao Youliang's attitude. After giving the delicious food he had brought to his adoptive father, he began to recount what had happened.
The young general wasn't very bright, so his eloquence was naturally poor, but luckily he had a few ghosts following him around.
Although they are called ghosts, they are actually very important figures to us ordinary people.
For example, there were civil and military judges and shackled generals sent by the City God, as well as accompanying officials arranged by the local City God.
The story begins with Zhao Youliang's younger sister, Zhao Wenzi, looking for a job...
In order to earn more money to supplement the family income and help Zhao Youliang save money for his wife, Zhao Wenzi decided to give it a try and directly interviewed with a foreign company.
Fortunately, she passed the interview smoothly; unfortunately, Zhao Wenzi, who was new to society, did not understand the wickedness of people's hearts.
After joining the company, Zhao Wenzi worked hard in order to pass the probation period smoothly and earn a high salary.
However, her youthful beauty and sweet appearance had already caught the eye of her boss, Tian.
Tian was a lustful fiend who would hide in the shadows every day, greedily watching Zhao Wenzi's graceful figure.
He then began using various work-related excuses to drag Zhao Wenzi out for social engagements and drinking sessions.
Zhao Wenzi had just graduated and was unaware of the dangers of the workplace.
They thought they were being valued by their superiors, so they never refused anything.
This gave Tian an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
What's most infuriating is that on this day, Tian went to great lengths to get Zhao Wenzi drunk, not to satisfy himself, but to push her into the room of a senior executive from the head office who was coming down for an assessment—a foreigner.
Although Zhao Wenzi was drunk, she still knew to instinctively protect herself.
In order to avoid being violated by bad people, she simply jumped out of the window during the struggle.
Keep in mind that the place where they were eating was on the sixth floor!
The result was predictable...
If fate has its way, Zhao Wenzi is doomed this time.
Not only her, but her father, who was also Zhao Youliang's adoptive father, was later killed by bad people while trying to seek justice for his daughter.
This is also why the City Goddess sent civil and military judges and the shackled general to guide the soul to the afterlife—she didn't want good people to suffer after death.
The turning point came with the remarkable young general.
He "secretly" followed the civil and military judges here, just in time to witness Zhao Wenzi fall to her death.
The young general was a man of integrity and could not bear to see such a scene, so he grinned and asked the civil and military judges for the reason.
Now that things had progressed this far, the civil and military judges knew they couldn't hide it any longer, so they reluctantly revealed the purpose of the City Goddess's summons.
After hearing this, the young general cursed loudly and was about to go up and teach the two bastards who had harmed Zhao Wenzi a lesson when suddenly a cold wind blew in.
Two blurry figures appeared in the eerie wind; they were the ghost messengers who had come to capture Zhao Wenzi's soul.
The ghost messenger remained as sage as ever, still singing as he went.
"I am the greatest in both the Yin and Yang realms; if I want you to be born, you will be born. If Yama wants someone to die at midnight, who dares to keep them alive until dawn?"
As they sang, the two underworld messengers arrived beside Zhao Wenzi's corpse.
By waving the soul-summoning banner, Zhao Wenzi's spirit was drawn out.
"Death ends all, forget this life and only seek the next."
"There are no inns on the road to the underworld, let's not delay our journey, let's set off as soon as possible!"
The souls of the newly deceased are mostly in a daze, meaning they have no consciousness of their own.
So Zhao Wenzi didn't know how to struggle and just followed the ghost messenger miserably.
Perhaps subconsciously, Zhao Wenzi couldn't bear to part with her father and brother Zhao Youliang, which is why her soul unconsciously shed tears of blood.
The ghost messenger who came to "capture" her also knew that the child had died unjustly, so he sighed.
But that's fate; even as a ghost messenger, there's nothing I can do to help.
He could only glare fiercely at Tian, who was peering out the window, and the foreign executive, and curse under his breath.
"You two just wait, until the day you fall into our hands, hehe!"
The ghost messenger's righteous words saved them from disaster.
Because the young general had already sidled up behind them in a cheeky manner, with his leg raised, looking like he wanted to kick them face-first into the mud.
After hearing the above sentence, he lowered his leg with an embarrassed smile.
He deliberately coughed twice before revealing himself: "Ahem, you two sang quite well just now."
"We've heard so many ghosts sing this song, but only the two of you sing it so well."
Upon hearing the young general's voice, the two ghost messengers were so frightened they nearly fell to the ground.
They looked at each other and saw that each other's eyes were filled with terror.
"No, no way, Young General?!"
With an incredulous tone, the ghost turned around with difficulty, little by little.
It felt like an eternity before I finally turned my head and saw the young general's familiar face...
"Wow, it really is the young general!"
As soon as the ghost finished speaking, he turned and ran away, not even caring about Zhao Wenzi's soul!
Not only Zhao Wenzi's soul, but also in order to reduce its weight and increase its escape speed, even threw away the mourning stick and the soul-summoning banner it was holding.
As he ran, he sang obsequiously: "The young general is the greatest in both the Yin and Yang realms. He can make you live or die as he pleases. If Yama wants someone to die at midnight, the young general can make it impossible."
After singing the adapted lyrics, the two ghost messengers added in unison, "Absolutely!"
Seeing how afraid the ghost messengers were of him, the young general felt unusually embarrassed.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and grabbed, and the ghost messenger who had run away immediately retreated, just like a movie scene playing in reverse.
"Hey, why are you two running away? Why are you running away as soon as you see us?"
"We don't bite people... at least not this time."
"Don't be afraid, be good."
The two ghost messengers captured by the young general looked even more miserable than if their own fathers had just died.
However, not daring to offend the young general, who was his "living father," he quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Young General, are you taking a stroll here?"
"In all honesty, we didn't run away as soon as we saw you. We just suddenly remembered that we forgot to close the door when we came out."
"Afraid his wife would run off with another man, he rushed back to close the door..."
