"No, no, little girl, that won't do!" Without even thinking, Black and White Impermanence immediately and decisively refused.
They are the ghost messengers of the underworld, tasked with maintaining the balance between heaven and earth.
What they need to do is bring those lonely ghosts back to the underworld, make them drink the Meng Po soup, and let them be reincarnated and return to the cycle of reincarnation.
Humans are yang, ghosts are yin.
The human world is a place for people to live. If it is filled with evil spirits, even if they are not the kind of evil spirits that want to harm people, it will still affect the balance of yin and yang.
This is their profession, so naturally they wouldn't agree to release ghosts just because of Lin Wanyue's words.
"Considering you're young and don't understand, your uncles won't hold it against you for raising a ghost child." Black Impermanence put on a cold and ruthless expression.
"Can't it be just a few decades, or even a hundred years?" Lin Wanyue looked at the Black and White Impermanence with pleading eyes, still intending to try and persuade Cui Zhongjie.
"Yes!" But Black Impermanence still shook his head mercilessly and said, "No."
"Then...then I'll give him a piece of candy after he falls to the ground, and send him off." Lin Wanyue looked at Bai Wuchang with her big round eyes, took out a white mint candy from her sleeve, and looked very pitiful.
"..."
Bai Wuchang glanced at his black-faced brother, then at Master Cui, who was bound by the soul-snatching lock. This ghost was weak and had no chance of escaping.
"Alright then," White Impermanence said, "but you can't do it again next time."
"Mmm." Lin Wanyue smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Like an innocent and naive child.
Although on the surface she is indeed a child.
The White Impermanence's ghostly hand grabbed the Soul-Hooking Lock, gave it a gentle shake, and Master Cui was thrown out, rolling twice on the ground.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Lin Wanyue stepped forward and handed the candy in her hand to Master Cui. In an instant, the extremely weak ghost disappeared right before their eyes.
"Little girl! Where did you hide that ghost?" Black Impermanence's eyes widened as he rushed towards Lin Wanyue.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Bullying a child?" Lai Fu blocked Lin Wanyue's way, the black mist around him so thick it almost formed a barrier.
Black Impermanence inevitably picked up some of the stains.
Her face, which was already dark enough, became even darker now.
Not only will it be dark, but it'll probably also bring bad luck...
The usually gentle and smiling face of Bai Wuchang turned cold. "Little girl, do you know what crime it is to harbor a ghost?"
“But he’s my pet, and he still has things to do… I just want him to stay in the human world for a few more decades, and then I’ll let him go with you!” Lin Wanyue said, looking up.
“But he’s already dead! Once you’re dead, you become a ghost. Ghosts shouldn’t linger in the human world. That’s the rule, not only in our underworld, but also in the world!” Black Impermanence said coldly.
“I know… but there are still many ghosts wandering around the underworld, one more won’t make a difference. I just want him to stay for a few more decades.” Lin Wanyue was still trying to persuade the Black and White Impermanence.
However, the Black and White Impermanence are not easily persuaded, as capturing souls is their job.
The two of them looked around, but they couldn't find Cui Zhongjie, the scholar ghost.
“It is our duty to capture ghosts and bring them back to the underworld. We cannot ignore the law. Since you insist on leaving it behind, you will have no choice but to come to the underworld with us.” Seeing that Lin Wanyue was still determined to go her own way, he said.
"You can't take my sister away!" Lai Fu stood in front of Lin Wanyue, unafraid of the two ghost messengers, and shouted, "Aren't you bullying people?"
“Only ghosts can go to the underworld. She’s still a human being, how can she go to the underworld? Could it be that you two are trying to take revenge! Trying to kill her?” Lai Fu stared warily at the Black and White Impermanence.
“We know that, of course.” Bai Wuchang reached into his sleeve and pulled out a strange-looking blade of grass. He said, “You are a living person, so it is indeed a bit inappropriate for you to go to the underworld. But if you put this Nine Yang Grass in your mouth, you can ensure that your yang energy is not lost. When you get to the underworld, if Yama agrees to let you keep this ghost, then we will have nothing to say.”
"Howl!" Lin Wanyue nodded and took the Nine Yang Grass from Bai Wuchang's hand.
He didn't want to put the Black and White Impermanence in a difficult position.
After all, they were old acquaintances and had treated her quite well; they had even helped her when she first transmigrated.
Just as she consumed the Nine Yang Grass, Lin Wanyue also stored Lai Fu in her villa space.
"!!!" When the Black and White Impermanence saw that the Little Plague God had also vanished in front of them, their faces grew even uglier.
They disappeared right under their noses!
Who is this little baby?
Meanwhile, Laifu was screaming loudly: "Waaaaah—"
"Stop yelling, there's not a ghost here except for the two of us." Master Cui had a cigarette in his mouth and a sausage in his hand, and he could stuff the sausage into his mouth while smoking.
"Huh? Then what... what place is this? Could it be the place where Wanwan usually hides candy?" Laifu saw a familiar face and knew that he hadn't died again, which calmed him down a lot.
He jumped up from the ground and ran to the big villa, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, where he discovered a lot of delicious food.
Laifu and Master Cui chatted and ate heartily in this deserted space.
...
On the ground, the Black and White Impermanence led Lin Wanyue through a gate of hell and into the underground underworld.
