"The Great Calamity of Zombie Disease? When did this happen?" Upon hearing that a great calamity had also occurred in the human realm, Wang Yao immediately lost his composure and hurriedly asked.
“Yes! I didn’t hear about it when I came last time.” The fairy also frowned.
"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics either. I received the notification just a few hours ago. The patrolling celestial generals have all been mobilized and all the immortals who were privately teleporting upstairs have been gathered downstairs," the immortal replied, shaking his head.
Wang Yao thought to himself that the corpse energy must be rampant in the human world and has already caused serious consequences. It must be the great calamity of zombie disease. He wondered how Zhen Huai and the others were doing. He was anxious and turned to look at the fairy.
"I am an immortal from the Heavenly Court's office in the human realm. A great calamity of zombie disease has struck the human realm, so I must return." He was already not interested in staying in the underworld, and now that he knows something has happened in the human realm, he has no desire to continue fooling around in the underworld.
"You..." The fairy maiden wished she could go to the human realm with Wang Yao, but she knew that Wang Yao was Cao Xian's only reliance. Cao Xian hoped to use Wang Yao to turn the tide in the underworld, otherwise, with so many of his subordinates dead, it would be difficult to explain to the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, after hearing what Wang Yao said, the fairy maiden looked at Cao Xian.
“I’ll call Old Lü. With Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo, and a bunch of other old doctors, what can’t they solve with ghoul disease? The Matchmaker has to stay.” Cao Xian indeed took out his phone and was about to dial.
“No need. I know Lao Lü’s temper. Even if you don’t say anything, he will agree to let Xiao Wang stay. The key is Xiao Wang…” Fairy raised her hand to stop Cao Xian and turned to look at Wang Yao.
"Um... where are you going, fairy maidens?" the immortal who managed the teleportation array asked from the side.
“Um… Anyway, there’s no passage from Taiqing Immortal City to the human world, let’s go to Zhenxie Immortal City first.” The fairy hesitated for a moment before saying to the immortal, then turned to look at Wang Yao. “Your decision to leave the Underworld before was a personal one, but now it’s work that requires you to stay.”
"You need to think this through. Insisting on leaving the Underworld at this time could have serious consequences." As she spoke, the fairy turned to look at Cao Xian. "Old Cao, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but although Xiao Wang can deal with spirits, he's the only one in the Underworld with that ability right now. But how many spirits are there? Do you know the answer to that?"
“If this isn’t handled properly, not only might your subordinates suffer further losses, but you yourself might not be able to escape unscathed. You’re considered a veteran minister of the Heavenly Emperor, and this time the spiritual energy is beyond your ability to resist. I think the Heavenly Emperor understands this…”
"You mean, you want me to desert too?" Cao Xian blinked, staring at the fairy maiden with disbelief. He understood the fairy maiden's reasoning; if he could walk, he would run faster than a rabbit.
However, he was, after all, the director of the Heavenly Court's office in the Underworld. Other immortals could escape, but he couldn't.
"Fairy Maiden, please sign here." The immortal who managed the teleportation array handed a printed sheet of paper and a pen to the fairy maiden.
"Wait a minute, are you new here?" The fairy took the paper and looked at it, then suddenly frowned and looked at the immortal. "We're going to the seventeenth floor of the Underworld to face our tribulation. Why is our unit calling itself the Six Realms Security Committee? It should be the Heavenly Court's Tribulation Rescue Leading Group!"
"I'm sorry, the new unit requires manual input. When I typed your name, Fairy Maiden, the Six Realms Security Committee popped up automatically. This... is a newly configured computer, and I'm not familiar with its operation. I didn't notice for a moment..." The immortal's expression changed, and he quickly explained to Fairy Maiden.
"You young man, you must be serious and responsible in your work. The teleportation array is extremely important, and you can't be careless. Do you know how much the Heavenly Court has invested in modernizing your working conditions..." The fairy was lecturing the immortal in a serious tone.
"I'll reprint one for you right away..." The immortal hurriedly ran back to the computer.
"...I remember you said before that the King of Hell said he would shut down Xiao Wang's underworld interface again?" Cao Xian suddenly asked the fairy maiden.
"They were referring to the situation where Xiao Wang couldn't deal with the spirit body. Now that Xiao Wang can deal with the spirit body, I suppose they won't bring up the matter of shutting it down again," the fairy maiden replied casually, watching the immortal busy in front of the computer.
"Little Wang, I don't understand, why do you insist on banning the sale of human-made artifacts in the Underworld?" Cao Xian then turned to ask Wang Yao.
"Um... Since Director Cao was the emperor's brother-in-law before he became an immortal, he must have been a mortal, right?" Wang Yao hesitated for a moment before looking at Cao Xian and asking.
He understood what the fairy maiden meant by reminding him. Before, whether he stayed or left was his personal choice, but once Cao Xian's opinion was taken into account, his destination would become a work-related matter. The fairy maiden's words were quite polite.
Judging from the fairy's attitude towards Cao Xian, it's clear that Cao Xian and her superior, Lü Xian, have an extremely close relationship. If she insists on leaving, it won't just be a minor offense like disobeying work arrangements.
At that time, he might face even more serious charges such as desertion and refusing to help those in distress. Moreover, he would definitely offend the fairy maiden and fairy Cao in front of him, as well as his superior, fairy Lü. Wang Yao is not yet able to bear the consequences.
However, it seems that the fairy maiden does not approve of Cao Xian staying in the underworld. Now, Cao Xian is suddenly concerned about his requirements for the underworld. Wang Yao is really confused about what these two immortals are up to.
“It’s not just him; all of us Eight Immortals were mortals before we became immortals.” Before Cao Xian could speak, the fairy maiden answered from the side, where the immortal had already brought the newly printed paper to her.
The fairy looked at it again, then picked up her pen and signed her name on the paper.
