So Ningbao, with her legs crossed and munching on fruit, enjoyed a feast with Lingling.
Knowing that this young lady had a big appetite, Yama, the King of Hell, immediately ordered eighteen tables of food and more than ten baskets of fruits and vegetables to be prepared.
So Ningbao and Lingling stayed in the underworld for three days and ate ten baskets of fruit and sixteen tables of feast.
Ningbao, burping, looked at the unfinished feast, fruits, and vegetables and packed them all up to take away.
In three days, Yama had investigated the whole story and found out that there was such a dark side to his underworld.
He discovered for the first time that the life of a lowly ghost messenger was so difficult.
Through Wuya's investigation, they thoroughly examined all departments of the underworld.
Only then did they discover that, apart from Yama's most trusted confidants, the other ghost officials in the underworld were all problematic, abusing their power, protecting each other, and indiscriminately killing innocent people...
Countless victims like Wuya have been victimized.
In just three days, almost all the underworld officials, both high and low, were replaced.
Although Wuya was initially a victim, he had harmed too many people in the mortal world and could only be cast into hell forever to be tormented by fire.
Ningbao purified and delivered the souls of those killed by Wuya to the afterlife, and then sent them to the Naihe Bridge to drink Meng Po's soup and be reincarnated.
…………
These past few days, Yama has been in a rage; he's smashed seven or eight tables to pieces. Just as he raised his hand to slam the table again, Ningbao grabbed his hand.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
I said, Yan Laoliu, you're being too wasteful. You're smashing one good table after another. You're such a spendthrift.
"Well then, since you don't want it, I'll reluctantly take it."
Without paying any attention to the astonishment of King Yama and everyone in the Yama Palace, Ning Bao waved her little hand and put the table away.
After collecting the table, Ningbao felt it wasn't good that there were no chairs, so she took a storage talisman and walked around the Yama Palace until she had collected enough chairs for each member of the family before stopping.
Despite her young age, Ningbao is a very thrifty girl, influenced by her master.
After all, before fleeing the famine, the Three Pure Ones Daoist had packed even a single piece of firewood for Ning Bao to take with him in a storage talisman.
Ning Bao took a stroll through the Yama's Palace, and "reluctantly" collected everything that could appear in the mortal world.
Ning Bao not only strolled around the Yama Palace, but also briefly visited the residences of other high-ranking ghost messengers such as the Black and White Impermanence and the civil and military judges in the side halls.
Ning Bao was satisfied with her shopping trip, while Yama, looking at the empty Yama Palace, opened his mouth as if to say something but couldn't utter a word. He decided to just consider it a loss to avoid further trouble.
Ningbao considered herself a child who knew when to stop. After collecting everything she could, she patted her chubby little hands, put away the storage talisman, and then looked at Yama, the King of Hell.
"Your Yama's Palace is really nothing fun. Now that everything's taken care of, I'll be leaving. Don't miss me."
"No! No! Absolutely no!" Yama, the King of Hell, murmured to himself.
Ning Bao suddenly turned her head as if she had realized something.
"But it's okay if you miss me. If your Yama Palace causes any more trouble next time, this old lady won't mind coming back for three more days."
King Yama and his ghost officials broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Ning Bao's words. They secretly prayed that this young lady would not come, otherwise they would have no choice but to beg for food.
With her belly full and her bag overflowing, Ningbao rode Lingling swaggeringly toward the gates of the underworld, completely satisfied.
Fearing that Ningbao might wander around the underworld again, Yama and his ghost messengers personally escorted Ningbao away.
Lingling strode confidently with an air of arrogance, its front two legs barely stepping out of the gates of the underworld before its tail emerged, when a loud "bang!" was heard, and the gates of the underworld were slammed shut.
Lingling suddenly jumped around and dodged, almost getting her tail caught. Lingling looked at the tightly closed gates of the underworld with great frustration.
"Master, these people from the underworld are so rude! How can they treat guests like this?"
