"He is the chief steward of the Five Senses King. There is nothing in the underworld, big or small, that he does not know. With him accompanying you to the Western Sixth District, I can rest assured," said Yama, the King of Hell.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. This servant will certainly devote himself to you until his dying breath." Eunuch Wei expressed his gratitude to King Yama once again.
"Then get up right now! How can you lead us on our way while kneeling on the ground?" Wang Yao snapped at Eunuch Wei, then turned to the fairy maiden. "Fairy maiden, shall we go now?"
"I'm almost out of soul lanterns, give me a few more. Your Underworld Building is so hard to find, it's so annoying," the fairy said to Yama.
"With this old servant here, what need is there for the soul lamp?" Eunuch Wei got up from the ground, wiping the tears from his face, and hurriedly advised after hearing the fairy's words.
"Uh... okay..." King Yama was stunned for a moment, but immediately turned around and called out, "Niu Cha, quickly send some soul lamps over to the Fairy Maiden and the Old Man of the Moon."
A moment later, a demon with a bull's head rushed in, carrying a stack of soul lanterns. Wang Yao and the fairy each took a stack and put them into their storage space. The bull-headed demon then took out a few lighters and handed them to Wang Yao and the fairy.
"This one soul fire is enough to light these lanterns. I'll give a few more to the two immortals, just in case," the bull-headed demon said obsequiously.
"I understand." The fairy impatiently put away the soul fire. Wang Yao picked up the soul fire and examined it carefully. He found that it was no different from a disposable lighter in the human world. He couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Finally, his treatment in the underworld was the same as the fairy's.
"Very well, very well. This soul lantern is similar in concept to the paper lanterns of the human world and the spirit fire lanterns of the immortal world. It is quite charming to light one up and carry it in your hand." Eunuch Wei clapped his hands and cheered.
"Let's hurry up and leave. Save the flattery for later." Wang Yao and the other two bid farewell to Yama, urging Eunuch Wei to leave the room in the East Twelfth District and head to the West Sixth District. Meanwhile, the Yama Kings began their preparations for departure.
The distance between East Twelfth District and West Sixth District is incredibly vast. In the human realm, it would almost require traversing the entire interface. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei was with them. He made a few phone calls and specially added a train to the already discontinued Tenth Ring Great Loop shuttle, just to transport the three of them.
With the shuttle, the speed became much faster. Otherwise, even with the Fairy Maiden's teleportation speed, it would take a lot of effort to travel through seventeen or eighteen districts in this building. Traveling by shuttle is a completely different story.
When Wang Yao and the others arrived at the shuttle platform, the shuttle was already waiting on the track. As soon as they boarded, the shuttle sped off at breakneck speed.
"Lord of the Moon and Fairy, please rest for a bit. It will be no more than two hours before we reach the Sixth District of the West." Eunuch Wei found two comfortable-looking seats and invited Fairy and Wang Yao to sit down, while he stood to the side and said with a smile.
"What... what happened to you?" Wang Yao asked curiously, pointing to his own face as he saw that the dark handprint on Eunuch Wei's face had not yet faded.
"Ah, His Highness scolded this servant for not fulfilling his duties as steward and slapped him himself." Eunuch Wei smiled and touched his face. "My prince is truly a dragon among men, unparalleled in his elegance. Even his slaps are delivered with such grace and ease, making this servant very... very happy."
"Failed to fulfill your stewardship responsibilities? Then what happened?" Wang Yao sat on the shuttle. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to chat idly with this eunuch, Wei.
"Your Highness's accusations are certainly justified. Think about it, Your Highness actually likes such a disgusting piece of trash as Ke Ren'er, and I actually found her for him. Not only did I not try to dissuade him, but I also let Your Highness be intimate with that disgusting piece of trash. I can't even forgive myself for it."
"Your Highness only slapped me once, which is already... already showing me mercy. I feel so... so guilty." As he spoke, Eunuch Wei choked up again.
"Damn it, the Five Statues King likes that lovely girl because of the marriage arranged by Xi Fu. What does it have to do with you? You went to great lengths to find her for him, but aren't you still fulfilling your responsibilities as a householder? It's not unfair for him to blame you for not fulfilling your duties as a householder."
Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"Lord Yue Lao, you can't say that. As servants, we should naturally consider things properly for the Prince. It's true that the Prince only took a liking to the lovely girl because he was blessed by the previous Yue Lao."
"But I, as your servant, only noticed the prince's needs at the time, and did not think about what would happen afterward. This is a great mistake. Think about it, even though I tried to cover for the prince and the prince himself was careful, how could we keep it a secret when the ten kings of hell were advancing and retreating together?"
"If the prince hadn't had this marriage broken off, he wouldn't care about those rumors. But now that the marriage is broken off, his past with Ke'er is as painful as swallowing a fly. How can he not feel that the other princes are laughing at him when he looks at them?"
"This servant only thought of Your Highness's needs at the time, but didn't consider Your Highness's embarrassment afterward. You deserve to be beaten. Even if Your Highness killed me, I would still praise that it was a good thing. Alas, I was really confused. How could I send such disgusting trash as Ke'er to Your Highness?"
"It's true, I can't even forgive myself!" Eunuch Wei shook his head and sighed.
"So, it seems that my actions in severing the marriage of the Five Statues King were unnecessary?" Wang Yao said with a surprised smile.
"No, no, no, of course not." Eunuch Wei hurriedly waved his hands. "Although His Highness has been trying to calm himself down, I know that he is still grateful to you. Why don't we tell him to thank the Matchmaker God when we leave? He didn't say a word."
