The male ghost bowed to the underworld official and spoke.
"This..." The ghost seemed very surprised by the male ghost's sudden statement, probably because the two had not communicated well beforehand.
"Hong Ying, what do you say?" Ming Fen ignored the ghost's expression and asked the female ghost again.
"My client has already made her intentions very clear: she doesn't want a single penny of property, nor does she want the ghost marriage insurance; she just wants a divorce," said the ghost representative beside the female ghost.
"Easy for you to say. You think you can just say you don't want it?" Mingfen glanced at the female ghost's ghostly form, then looked at her again. "Hongying, you're a flirtatious groundhog in the human world. Tell me honestly, have you hooked up with another male ghost, which is why you're so determined to get a divorce?"
“I…I didn’t, it was…it was Guo Ran who abused me. Look, he beat me all over here…” Hong Ying raised her arm to show Ming Fen.
"I didn't, who knows how your arm got bruised?" Guo Ran cried out, feeling wronged.
"Don't shout, don't shout, I'll show you something." As he spoke, the underworld figure took out a remote control. He pressed a button, and a TV screen appeared on the wall behind him. He pressed another button, and the TV screen turned on, playing a TV series.
On the screen, a man and a woman stood on a beach, gazing at each other affectionately, as if they were pouring out their hearts to one another. Wang Yao felt that the woman on the TV looked very familiar, and he was just about to listen to what they were saying when, unexpectedly, the two ghosts and the two ghost figures in the room suddenly changed their expressions.
"Oops, I made a mistake, I have to start over..." Mingfen was still muttering to himself as he fiddled with the remote control in his hand.
"No! Lord Mingfen, we're just applying for a divorce, is this really necessary?" Several ghosts screamed in unison.
"If you don't even want to waste a single moment, then what the hell is the point of getting a divorce? I, Mingfen, hereby declare that the relationship has not broken down, and the divorce application is rejected." Mingfen's expression changed, and he put down the remote control and shouted loudly.
"Lord Mingfen, it seems there's no rule in the underworld that you have to watch a TV series to get a divorce, right?" a ghost-like figure asked Mingfen, blinking its eyes.
"No rules in the underworld? My rules are the rules of the underworld! This TV series is really good, it's been airing a lot in the human world, it's called something like the Love Trilogy, love to the point of dying and coming back to life, love to the point of going up mountains and down to the sea, love to the point of being unable to love anymore, look at their love..."
"There are henpecked husbands who dote on their wives, promiscuous women who end up getting into trouble, and abusive men who get punished for domestic violence. They all relate to your current marital relationships. There are 120 episodes in total, which isn't long. You can finish watching it in 3 days. What do you think?"
"Are you going back home to have more kids, or are you going to stay here and finish watching the Love Trilogy before getting a divorce?" Mingfen asked the group with a smile.
"Well, I have something to do. I'll leave you to your own devices." Upon seeing this, one of the ghosts turned and left.
"Stop! When did ghost lawyers dare to abandon their clients and run away? Aren't you afraid of losing your contribution?" Mingfen shouted, and the ghost lawyer's legs trembled in fright. He stood there, not daring to move. He looked at the male and female ghosts who were still hesitating, and knelt down with a thud.
"Please, gentlemen, don't get divorced! Even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. Divorce would be unbearable. I have three jobs waiting for me, and a PowerPoint presentation that my boss has been urging me to finish three times. Please, gentlemen..."
“Yes, according to the general situation in the underworld, ghosts who are married and have children are more likely to get a reincarnation quota. You two shouldn’t get a divorce, right?” The ghost next to Guo Ran also advised, pretending to be calm.
“But…” Guo Ran looked at Hong Ying, who was also dumbfounded. Although she didn’t have many part-time jobs, how could she not have a job in the underworld? If she really sat here and watched a three-day TV series, her social security and housing fund for this month would definitely be gone.
Hoping to hook up with that deadbeat guy? But that'll have to wait until we're married. I'm still not divorced from Guo Ran, how can I get married to him so quickly?
"I...I..." Hong Ying stammered, looking at the anxious eyes of the male ghosts, and then stomped her foot hard. In her past life, as a groundhog, she could just sniff whoever she wanted to be with and that was it. Who knew that getting a divorce as a ghost would be so troublesome?
"Why is getting a divorce so difficult?" Hong Ying said angrily.
“It’s not difficult, not at all. I’ll get it done for you after you finish watching the Love Trilogy,” Mingfen said.
"You know perfectly well that we also need to earn social insurance and housing fund contributions, where would we find the time to watch this TV series...?" Hong Ying was furious.
“You know perfectly well that your social security and housing fund depend entirely on your husband, and you wouldn’t dare to miss three days without him. You know perfectly well that you will have no one to rely on after the divorce, yet you still want to fly like a moth to a flame. I have already given you a chance. As long as you are willing to invest, what is three days if you really can’t go on?”
Mingfen suddenly interrupted Hongying and shouted loudly.
"Get out of here right now! If you don't leave, I have three to five hundred episodes of TV dramas waiting for you!"
Amidst the fierce shouts of the underworld, the four ghosts—three men and one woman—slunk away. Immediately afterward, another pair of ghosts, accompanied by ghostly figures, approached Wang Yao from behind. Seeing that there were still people queuing up behind him, Wang Yao thought to himself that the divorce rate in the underworld must be quite high.
Instead of looking at the pair of ghosts that had walked up to him, Mingfen stared at Wang Yao.
"This person carrying a soul lamp, are you from the underworld? You've been standing here for so long, be careful the soul lamp goes out and you can't find your way home," Mingfen said to Wang Yao with a smile.
"Oh, I was really impressed by how you handled that divorce case just now, and I'm learning from you." Wang Yao smiled, raised the soul lamp, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Ming Fen.
