Chapter 31 I'm Going to See the King of Hell
Chen Kejing appeared from behind them. "Luo Luo, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"That's good. You must be starving. Go and eat."
Yu Xiaoluo looked at the group of people blankly, "Who are they—"
Chen Kejing smiled and said, "It's like this, I found some poisonous insects in the kitchen yesterday. I chased them for a while but couldn't kill them. Auntie also noticed them. I felt that the house wasn't very safe lately, so I hired a professional pest control person to come and check it out and disinfect it. Sigh, villas always have a lot of bugs. Now that you're back, please have someone come and deal with them regularly. Don't scare the young lady."
Yu Xiaoluo turned around blankly and glanced back. Her several demonic pets were huddled under the sheets, trembling. The bed was shaking as if there was an earthquake.
She swallowed hard, forced a stiff smile, and stopped the people who were about to come in.
"Mom, I really don't need it in my room. Only poisonous creatures are afraid of me, not poisonous creatures. Besides, I have many magical treasures that my master gave me in my room. These are top secrets, and my master instructed that no one should see them."
Yu Xiaoluo pleaded and begged, pushing and pulling them to prevent them from entering.
"Mom, I feel like I haven't eaten for days. I'm so hungry. You've prepared a big meal for five or six people, but I'm eating it all by myself."
Upon hearing that her daughter was starving, Chen Kejing stopped insisting on killing the poisonous creatures. After giving the pest control workers some money and letting them leave, she quickly went downstairs to help the new aunt prepare food.
Yu Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief and put them all into her spatial storage.
Wait a minute, you can throw all the food in and let them have a good meal.
After thinking for a moment, she threw the "Girl's Anti-Fraud Handbook" from her bag into the bag.
"Xuanwu, this book is quite positive, learn more from it."
Xuanwu: "Master, I am a man—"

One person and four demons finished off a whole table of breakfast.
Apart from Yu Liang playing games upstairs, all the other men in the family went to work.
Therefore, this food was prepared for Yu Xiaoluo.
Chen Kejing looked at the empty plate and felt heartbroken. How hungry must someone be to eat so much food, and yet they're so thin?
From now on, ask the aunt to cook more, and make sure your daughter doesn't go hungry.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the four demons stopped babbling and went to sleep or cultivate.
Although the space is a bit small, it's still safer than outside, at least you don't have to be chased around with slippers.
Just after they finished eating, the first group of guests arrived. Nanshan brought over a man in his fifties, who had a kind face but also an air of authority.
"Luo Luo, this is our Director Ding. Director, this is Miss Yu Xiaoluo, and this is Madam Yu."
Nanshan introduced them one by one, and Chen Kejing warmly invited them to sit down and brewed tea.
Director Ding excitedly grasped Yu Xiaoluo's hand, "Little sister, I didn't expect you to be so young, you're truly remarkable. I heard you're Master Chen's most prized disciple, and you've certainly surpassed your master."
That seems to be backwards; it would be absurd for me to be his disciple.
Yu Xiaoluo didn't refute, but instead smiled sweetly, her adorable dimples widening and her eyes crinkling into crescent moons. "Hello, Director Ding—"
"Hey, call him Uncle—"
"Hello, Uncle Ding!"
Director Ding's face beamed like a chrysanthemum. "What a good girl! I never knew Yu Wenli was so lucky to have such a well-behaved daughter. I'm truly envious."
Chen Kejing smiled and returned the greeting, but she wasn't humble at all. "Director Ding, you flatter me. My Luo Luo is just adored by everyone."
After a few pleasantries, Director Ding got down to business, "Xiao Yu, I have something I'd like to discuss with you regarding the Savage Valley incident."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Kejing.
Chen Kejing understood, "Hey, I'll go cut some fruit for you."
With only the three of them remaining, Director Ding's expression turned serious. "Xiao Yu, I know your abilities are extraordinary. There are some things we need to do behind the public's back. In the past few days, almost all our departments have been mobilized to clean up those bodies and remains. The workload is enormous, and there are just too many remains for us to conduct DNA comparisons on each one. So, I'd like to ask for your help."
"Uncle Ding, you said that as long as it's within my power, I will definitely help."
“Xiao Yu, we have the most faith in your abilities right now. Savage Valley has a history of hundreds of years and has always been a forbidden area that no one has been able to break through. To this day, it is filled with countless wronged souls. They are all pitiful and innocent people, and their souls have been trapped there. I think you should lead the high monks to lure out the souls, let them find the bodies themselves, mark them, and let their families take them back for a proper burial. The rest that are unclaimed will be buried together, and then we will help them pass on to the afterlife.”
"Xiao Yu, do you think this is feasible? I don't know much about these things either. By the way, as for the high monks who will help with the salvation, we will contact and arrange that, so you don't need to worry about it."
Yu Xiaolu pondered for a moment; she hadn't seriously considered this issue before. "It's possible, but have you considered that if so many souls appeared together, the yin energy would be too heavy, even for cultivators. Moreover, the time required for the ritual would be far too long—"
Director Ding was at his wits' end. "What should we do then?"
"How about this, I'll just summon Yama directly and have him bring his ghost messengers. They're all ghosts anyway, and they're not afraid of even the heaviest yin energy. Then I'll drag them straight to the underworld to line up."
Director Ding and Nanshan's eyes widened simultaneously, bigger than saucers. "The King of Hell?"
"Luo Luo, can you even summon the King of Hell?"
"Yes, Xiao Yu, the King of Hell—isn't he hard to summon?"
Although they all knew that Yu Xiaoluo was very capable, inviting Yama—Yama is like an emperor, not someone anyone can just see whenever they want.
Besides, how old is Yu Xiaoluo? Would the King of Hell give her that much face?
No, no matter how big it is, it's not worth giving face to.
“Well—Xiao Yu, how about this, if you can’t do it yourself, we can perform the rites in batches, take it slowly, no rush.”
"Uncle Ding, I think I should go to the King of Hell's palace and ask him."
Director Ding panicked. Luckily, Chen Kejing wasn't around, otherwise she would have definitely thrown him out. She was actually sending her daughter to meet the King of Hell!
"Absolutely not! That place isn't one you can just go to whenever you want; it's a death trap!"
Nanshan's forehead was also covered in sweat. "Yes, Luo Luo, you absolutely mustn't act impulsively, or your fourteen older brothers and sisters will beat me to death—"
Yu Xiaoluo ignored them, closed her eyes, threw out a black talisman, and chanted a spell while keeping her eyes closed. The black talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and Yu Xiaoluo's expression became more and more dazed. After finishing the last spell, she collapsed onto the sofa.
Seeing this, Director Ding and Nanshan were sweating profusely. Their lips trembled as they looked at each other, as if they could see a terrifying reinforcement group rushing towards them with shovels, shouting frantically, "Give me back my sister! My sister is so cute, how could you send her to meet the King of Hell!"
They quickly closed their eyes and collapsed onto the sofa...
