After the other underworld messengers left, You Mingsi looked at Jun Yu and said cautiously, "What brings the Demon Lord to Shuodu?"
What a disaster! How did we run into this living Yama again? He's even more terrifying than their Lord of the Underworld; nothing good ever comes from meeting him.
“Of course there is something to discuss,” Jun Yu said with a half-smile. “Why doesn’t the Underworld invite us to sit in your palace?”
Although You Mingsi was extremely unwilling, he dared not refuse, and even more so, he dared not offend this evil god.
He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Demon Lord, this way please."
Ruan Xiyan blinked. Ah Yu even had acquaintances in this kind of place.
They followed You Mingsi to a palace. Jun Yu sat down in a chair and looked around at the furnishings. "Your palace now is far inferior to your previous one."
"And weren't you serving as the Underworld Judge in Shuodu on the Nine Provinces Continent? How did you end up on the mortal continent?"
Hearing Jun Yu ask this question, You Mingsi wanted to roll his eyes at Jun Yu. He had ended up in this situation because of him, and now he was asking such a question.
However, he had the desire but not the courage, so he only dared to complain in his heart while obediently answering Jun Yu's questions.
"My Lord Demon Lord has a bad memory. I was punished by the Lord of the Underworld for doing things for you without permission and was banished to this mortal continent."
You Mingsi emphasized the phrase "noble people are forgetful," almost to the point of gritting his teeth.
The first time I met this Demon Lord, he was still the Underworld Chief of Shuodu in the Nine Provinces Continent. He was handling the affairs of Shuodu as usual when this Demon Lord broke into Shuodu.
He stated frankly that he wanted to enter the underworld. As the underworld official in charge of Shuodu, he had his own duties, and Shuodu also had regulations. Of course, he could not let the Demon Lord enter the underworld.
Without saying a word, he caused a huge disturbance in Shuodu. The sight of him exuding a murderous aura still terrifies him to this day.
In the end, he had no choice but to succumb to his coercion and enticement and help him enter the underworld.
He didn't know why the Demon Lord went to the Underworld to see the Lord of the Underworld. Anyway, the Lord of the Underworld later banished him to this barren, godforsaken continent for violating the rules of Shuodu.
How could the treatment of a shrine maiden in Shuodu on the secular continent compare to that of a shrine maiden in Shuodu on the Kyushu continent?
As a result, the very evil spirit who caused him to fall into such a state has completely forgotten about this incident. Thinking about it now brings tears of bitterness to my eyes.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yu awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, as if there was indeed such a thing, but he truly did not know what happened afterward.
After all, once he made a deal with the Lord of the Underworld, he was busy searching for Ayan.
If he hadn't suddenly encountered You Mingsi again, he probably would have completely forgotten about him.
"I wonder what brings you here, Lord Demon Lord?" You Mingsi asked, eager to send this great Buddha out of Shuodu as soon as possible.
“I need two Netherworld Tokens to enter the Netherworld,” Jun Yu said.
"Demon Lord, why are you going to the Underworld again? Please let me go. You can't just fleece me." Upon hearing this, You Mingsi looked like he was about to cry, and he was almost ready to kneel down to Jun Yu on the spot.
"Why don't you go and take a look at the capitals on other continents?" You Mingsi suggested. He was ruthless when it came to tricking his colleagues, as long as the evil god wasn't around.
"Since I have encountered You Mingsi again, it means that I am destined to meet You Mingsi. I am also an acquaintance of You Mingsi. Enough of the nonsense, hand over the two Ming Tokens to me and I will leave immediately."
What an incredible coincidence! Anyone who wants this connection can have it; he has absolutely no desire to be involved.
You Mingsi shook his head, "Demon Lord, I really can't give it to you. I was already punished by the Underworld Lord for helping you last time."
"If I break the rules again this time, I'll be skinned alive by the Lord of the Underworld." You Mingsi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at the thought of those punishments. "The Demon Lord might as well just kill me and give me a quick death."
"Is it really that difficult?" Junyu asked.
“Really.” You Mingsi said with certainty.
Junyu took out a round piece of jade and placed it on the table.
"Yin-Yang Jade?!" You Mingsi exclaimed in surprise, staring at the smooth jade on the table with his eyes shining. "As expected of the Demon Lord, he actually managed to produce the Yin-Yang Jade."
The Yin-Yang Jade contains the power of Yin and Yang, which not only helps them absorb the Netherworld energy more quickly and increase their Netherworld power, but also helps them temporarily leave Shuodu by using the Yin-Yang power within the jade.
This was a huge temptation for him, who could only stay in Shuodu.
You Mingsi swallowed hard and looked away from the Yin-Yang Jade. "Demon Lord, the Yin-Yang Jade is good, but I need to be alive to enjoy it."
"Two pieces of Yin-Yang Jade." Jun Yu took out another piece.
“Demon Lord, this isn’t a matter of one or two pieces.” You Mingsi looked at Jun Yu.
Ruan Xiyan, who witnessed the whole process, thought to herself, "I didn't expect this underworld official from Shuodu to be so loyal to his duty. Even the Yin-Yang Jade, which is excellent for their cultivation, couldn't tempt him."
Jun Yu remained silent, but simply placed another piece of Yin-Yang jade on the table.
The next moment, You Mingsi chuckled and silently put the three Yin-Yang Jade pieces into his pocket.
"Your Majesty the Demon Lord is too kind. You've brought me such a generous gift. Besides, since Your Majesty has already asked, how could I refuse to help?"
You Mingsi's expression changed quickly, as if his righteous and stern words just now were just an illusion.
Ruan Xiyan's lips twitched. Well, she had been too hasty. It turned out that she hadn't given enough Yin-Yang Jade. As long as she had enough Yin-Yang Jade, everything would be fine.
You Mingsi took out two Netherworld Tokens and handed them to Jun Yu, saying, "I wonder if the Demon Lord will head there now, or rest for a while before going to the Netherworld Bridge?"
"Now."
You Mingsi pondered for a moment, "I'll trouble you, Demon Lord, to give me a beating."
Jun Yu raised an eyebrow; this was the first time he had ever heard someone make such a bizarre request to be beaten.
After You Mingsi finished speaking, he quickly added, "Demon Lord, it's just a show for Lord Underworld, so there's no need to go too far."
He had to let the Lord of the Underworld know that he was coerced and did not voluntarily help the Demon Lord; in that case, he would be able to reduce some of the punishment.
“Since it’s an act, it has to be realistic. If the injuries are too minor, it wouldn’t be good if the Lord of the Underworld could tell.” Jun Yu smiled slightly.
The attack struck You Mingsi with lightning speed, and a scream echoed through the sky.
After a while, You Mingsi led Jun Yu and the others away from the palace.
On the way to the Bridge of the Underworld, You Mingsi was half-hidden, but the underworld officials on the street still noticed the two black eyes on his face.
The underworld officials gaped in astonishment. They couldn't have seen wrong, could they? Had the Lord of the Underworld been attacked?!
