"Gently! Gently! Little Lü will get jealous if he sees this!" The old man patted the fairy's back with a cheerful laugh.
"He wouldn't dare!" The fairy wiped away her tears, but she crawled out of the old man's arms and helped him out of the trash can.
"This is the Matchmaker Wang Yao, also known as Wang Xian. If he hadn't found the note you left in the main hall of the Underworld, we don't know when we would have been able to find you," the fairy introduced Wang Yao to the old man.
“Alright…” The old man nodded to Wang Yao, but then turned to the fairy and said, “Actually, when you came last time, you didn’t conceal your aura, so I noticed you. I was just afraid that you would be possessed by spirits, so I decided to wait and see what happened.”
“If you don’t come over in a while, I’m planning to go find you too. After all, I know you. You’re not easily taken advantage of by a spirit.”
"What exactly happened to you? I heard King Qin Guang say that the spirit possessed Shan Laowu's body, and all the immortals scattered. You also disappeared without a trace, and the Kings of Hell all withdrew downstairs. I came up here specifically to find you. Your note said that you were harmed by the Kings of Hell. What exactly happened?"
The fairy maiden frowned and asked the old man.
"The essence has taken over Old Man Shan's immortal body? How come I didn't know that?" The old man frowned.
“These ghosts can’t handle the corpse energy. Since we are the Heavenly Court’s office in the Underworld, we naturally have to be at the forefront. Actually, the situation wasn’t urgent at first. You saw it when you arrived: the Yin energy valve in the center of the Three Passages was already closed, so everyone was just bored up there.”
"After you left, everyone heard that the Heavenly Court was going to send a large force, so they became even more relaxed and clamored to go to the palace to play. So I divided them into groups of four immortals each, taking turns once a week. After all, this floor is so big that you can't have enough fun in a short time."
"Unexpectedly, I had just accepted the invitation from the King of Equality and arrived at his residence when I received a call from Xiao Di saying that the valve at the Three-Way Center had opened by itself again. I was quite annoyed at the time, because the valve had been closed by Shan Laowu and Xu Zheng before."
“I thought it was because the two of them didn’t do their work carefully. They weren’t on duty at the time, so I called them and told them to come back. I also rushed over with King Pingdeng. At that time, all the ghosts upstairs were still there, but Xiao Su, Xiao Luo, Di Yun, and Huang Zhen, who were originally on duty upstairs, had already entered the Underworld Queen’s area.”
"I told King Pingdeng to wait upstairs for Shan Laowu and Xu Zheng, while I went down to check the situation. I didn't see a single subordinate even when I got to the Santong Center. The signal in the Underworld District was bad, so I couldn't make phone calls. I had no choice but to go and shut off the Yin Qi valve first."
"And guess what? The valve on the pipe through which the yin energy was rising had a huge hole in it, and the corpse energy was pouring in. I was dumbfounded when I saw it. This thing can't be fixed without a lot of effort. I had no choice but to go back to King Pingdeng and get some equipment to repair the pipe."
"On the way back, I also killed a high-level corpse puppet and ran into Shan Laowu and Xu Zheng who were on their way. I thought to myself that it was inevitable that the Underworld Queen District would be contaminated by the corpse energy. So I just had the two of them guard the elevator shaft and block the corpse energy from going up."
"I went up the elevator shaft and called back all my subordinates. After all, the situation had changed drastically, and we were short-handed. King Pingdeng also brought over some maintenance ghosts. I took them back to the Three-Way Center to repair the pipes and eliminate the source of the corpse energy."
"I was planning to have Lao Wu accompany the repairman to the three-way center, but then I thought, the pipe was so badly damaged, who knows what kind of weird things might have gotten in. If some powerful enemy came, Lao Wu and the others probably wouldn't be able to handle it."
"So I personally led the repair ghost to the Santong Center, but before we even arrived, we ran into Xiao Di. He said he had encountered a spirit, and Luo Renjie was probably already under a spell."
"I got nervous as soon as I heard that. This spirit body is the nemesis of us immortals. I can't go and repair the pipes anymore. I have to find my subordinates first."
"I sent Repairman Ghost and Xiao Di back first, and specifically instructed them to tell King Pingdeng that a spirit has appeared below, and there are no immortals in the office who can deal with it for the time being. I will find Luo Renjie, Su Jin, and Huang Zhen inside and then go out to work with them to find a way to seal the elevator shaft."
"I went in the direction Xiao Di pointed out and found Xiao Luo. However, he had been possessed by a spirit and wanted to attack me as soon as he saw me. I didn't know how to deal with the spirit, so I had to teleport away. After that, I never saw any other immortals again."
"I wandered around down there for a while, thinking that those who were possessed by the spirit body would need some time to adapt to the immortal body, while those who weren't possessed, like that little Di, should hurry up and escape to the top, right? With that in mind, I decided to go back and take a look, and guess what happened?"
"That damned King of Equality has actually sealed off the elevator shaft! I even encountered a spirit that hadn't taken over the immortal body there. The elevator shaft was sealed off, and the light was dim. You know that spirit is practically invisible in the dark."
"I didn't pay attention and almost fell for it. Now I had to teleport back to the Underworld Queen District. But I seemed to run into the spirit again in the corridor. I didn't dare to look too long and quickly teleported away. And so, I ended up playing hide-and-seek with the spirit in the Underworld Queen District for several days."
"It was truly a life of constant fear and uncertainty. I was like a frightened bird, and the slightest noise would send me into a teleportation. Damn it, I've never suffered like this since I became an immortal!" Cao Xian sighed and shook his head repeatedly.
Wang Yao and the fairy maiden listened to Cao Xian's story with trepidation.
"After thinking about it, I realized that this couldn't go on. The central channel for the ascent of Yin energy in the Three Channels has been broken open, and any number of spirits can get up there. And that damned King Yama has sealed off the elevator shaft. If I stay in that Underworld area any longer, sooner or later I'll be trapped like a turtle in a jar by the spirits."
