Chapter 32 Going to the Underworld
Yu Xiaoluo has truly arrived in the underworld.
The underworld remained gloomy and dark, shrouded in mist, with flickering will-o'-the-wisps and a chilling dampness.
She really hadn't been here in a long time.
I remember that every time she was reincarnated, she would come to the underworld to report once, just like coming home.
But this place was too cold, and Yu Xiaoluo didn't like it.
So, she always urged the King of Hell's apprentice to quickly find her a good family and send her back, because she still preferred sunny places.
It's just tough on her apprentice, having to spend all his time in this gloomy, cold, and heartless place.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Yama is her second-generation disciple.
Indeed, everyone in the world is her older brother or sister, and outside the world, everyone is her disciple or grand-disciple.
A ghost messenger with an unfamiliar face greeted them; he seemed to be new. "You are—a living person, how did you get here? How did you sneak in?"
The ghost messenger asked sternly and picked up the life-binding chain.
Yu Xiaoluo was too lazy to explain to these newbies. "I want to see the King of Hell. Let him come out and see me. Forget it, I'll just go in myself."
With that, he went inside.
The ghost messenger was enraged and picked up the life-locking chain to put it on Yu Xiaoluo, but the life-locking chain began to break inch by inch before it even got close to Yu Xiaoluo.
The ghost guard was horrified, "You actually dared to scatter things here—"
Before he could finish saying the word "wild," he received a slap across the face from his boss, Old Ghost Messenger.
"Are you blind? This is the master of our King Yama! How dare you show such disrespect to her? Are you tired of living?"
The master of Yama, the King of Hell?
The new ghost messenger looked at the eighteen-year-old Yu Xiaoluo with disbelief. "Am I really blind?"
The old ghost messenger quickly apologized to Yu Xiaoluo, "Master, this ghost messenger is new and doesn't recognize you. Please forgive him this time—"
Yu Xiaoluo didn't speak to him and walked forward on her own.
The old ghost messenger fawned over her again, saying, "I'll lead the way for you, so you don't run into those blind fools again."
As he spoke, he happily led the way.
When Yama saw Yu Xiaoluo arrive, he was stunned for a moment, but then he recognized her.
Master's aura is too powerful; no matter how his appearance changes, people can quickly sense it.
He quickly stood up and respectfully offered Yu Xiaolu a seat. He originally wanted to offer her tea, but then he remembered that the tea master here didn't drink it either, so he gave up.
"Master, what brings you here?"
At this moment, Yu Xiaoluo appeared serious and exuded a powerful aura. Here, she no longer needed to conceal her presence; she naturally radiated a queenly aura.
Are you aware of the events at Ghost Valley?
"Ghost Valley? We haven't received any spirits from there."
"Yes, those souls were imprisoned by the Nine Netherworld Lord before and could not escape. Now, they can be released, but the number is too large, and we need your help."
"Master, what should we do?"
"At midnight tonight, you will lead all the ghost messengers of your underworld to bring all the souls here and properly arrange the matters for their salvation."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Yu Xiaoluo stood up and said, "I have something to take care of, I'll go first."
"Master, may you rest in peace." Yama respectfully escorted Yu Xiaoluo to the gates of the underworld. "We will be there at midnight, please don't worry."
Yu Xiaoluo nodded, said nothing more, and left the underworld.

Although Chen Kejing couldn't hear what they were talking about, she would sneak a peek every now and then, afraid that her daughter was being bullied.
At that moment, she glanced down and saw the person on the sofa. Then, looking down, she was so startled that she dropped the plate she was holding with a clatter.
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Why are they all falling down? Yu Liang, Yu Liang, come out quickly! Something's happened to your sister!" Chen Kejing shouted loudly.
Upon hearing the noise, Yu Liang abandoned his game and rushed downstairs from his room, followed by his aunt.
They were all panicked when they saw this.
Chen Kejing started crying, "They're not all dead, are they?"
Now that Yu Liang is the only man, he has to be more composed than the others.
So, mustering his courage, he approached them and checked their breathing one by one. He sighed softly, "They're breathing. Maybe—they're just asleep?"
"How could they fall asleep at the same time?" Chen Kejing suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "They must have been bitten by poisonous insects! I was wondering why there were so many poisonous insects in the house lately! If they weren't poisoned, how could they have collapsed at the same time?"
That makes some sense.
The demon pets were sleeping soundly in Yu Xiaoluo's space, never dreaming that they could be shot while lying down.
"Call an ambulance immediately."
"Okay, okay." Yu Liang took out his phone and was about to make a call.
Nanshan woke up slowly, kicked awake by Director Ding. Director Ding didn't want to be carried into an ambulance, have his chest pressed, and then go through another ordeal in the emergency room.
"Oh, what happened? I actually fell asleep—"
Nanshan rubbed his eyes, pretending to just wake up. "Uh, I've been busy with the Ghost Valley matter for the past few days, and I haven't slept for several nights. I didn't expect to fall asleep while we were talking. Uh, the director is asleep too. He's been working with us all night these past few days. He's such an old man, and he's still so tired. Sigh."
However, when he saw Yu Xiaoluo, he really didn't know how to explain. If he said she was sleeping, she had slept for a whole day and night before waking up, and she was full of energy. He had only come over after seeing the group message and knowing that she had woken up.
If he told him she had gone to see the King of Hell, he was afraid he would really be beaten to death.
Just when he didn't know what to do.
Yu Xiaoluo finally woke up, and her soul returned to its place.
The first thing Yu Xiaoluo said after waking up was, "He agreed, so we don't need to invite the high monk anymore. We'll go together at midnight tonight."
Director Ding and Nanshan stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Yu Liang was excited. "Where are we going? I'm going too! I'm my sister's lackey, I can't be left out!"
Nobody paid any attention to him.
After a long while, Director Ding excitedly grabbed Yu Xiaoluo and shook her repeatedly, "Xiaoyu, my dear aunt, you are really amazing. This whole thing is all thanks to you. After the Savage Valley is cleared out, if you want it, I can apply for it and give you 50 years of usage rights. You can use it for whatever you want, as long as you don't do anything bad."
Yu Xiaolu smiled and said, "That's a matter for later, we can talk about it then. Right now, we need to prepare some things. Take a group of people to Savage Valley. Not many people are needed, and those who are timid and can't stand ghosts should not come."
"Alright, go ahead and tell me."
So Yu Xiaoluo explained what they needed to prepare, "By the way, please compile a list of the names and birth dates of the people the families want to find."
"Okay, I'll send someone to take care of it right away."
After they finished speaking, they left. Yu Xiaoluo looked at Yu Liang and said, "Third Brother, could you drive me there tonight? There are still some things I need to prepare."
Yu Liang finally felt that he was of some use, and nodded hurriedly.
Before he could even give any instructions, Bao Manman arrived with Bao Shuoyu.
No, it wasn't brought along, it was dragged along.
