Jiang Yuan remained silent, waiting for Ye You to continue.
"I beg you, sir, to entrust Jiang Yichen's soul to me after his death," Ye You continued, his fox-like eyes like deep pools, as if he were plotting something.
He wanted Jiang Yichen to be in the underworld, where death would be worse than his soul being scattered.
"Oh? I thought you were going to arrange an identity for me and send me back to the real world so I could deal with Jiang Yichen myself," Jiang Yuan said in surprise.
The night tour only wanted Jiang Yichen's soul, not to return to the real world to take revenge in person.
If Ye You were to speak back to the mortal world, she could briefly transfer his soul into the body of a recently deceased person.
Of course, it's only temporary; a long-term solution is impossible.
In the long run, she may even be punished.
If it's only temporary, she can keep it from Heaven for a while.
“If it were before, I would definitely have made that request. Back then, I was all alone, unafraid of punishment or the destruction of my soul. Even if I died, I would drag Jiang Yichen down to hell with me. But now I am a Night Wanderer of the Underworld,” Night Wanderer said slowly.
"I flattered and spent a lot of money to get noticed by the master and to get a position in the night tour in the shortest time. If I were to return to the real world in someone else's body, I would become an ordinary person. If I saw Jiang Yichen, I might not be able to control my anger and rush to kill him."
"I dare not forget the rules of the underworld: I must not harm ordinary people. I am afraid that if I impulsively attack Jiang Yichen, I will lose my official position, and that I might be killed by Jiang Yichen when I try to kill him. That would be a loss."
"If I lose my official position, when my subordinates' parents and younger brothers come to the underworld, I will not be able to make special arrangements for them so that they can be reborn into a better family."
He said earnestly during his nighttime stroll.
If he had heard this when he first entered the underworld and held no official position, he would have become a vengeful ghost and returned to the mortal world to seek revenge on Jiang Yichen.
But now he is a judge in the underworld, a position that many souls have worked for decades or even centuries to attain, let alone a judge in the underworld.
As for how he became a judge in the underworld, it was because he flattered others well, which is why he was personally promoted by the Little King of Hell.
For this reason, several people in the underworld looked down on him.
In their eyes, he was a useless piece of trash who only got the job as a night watchman because he was good at flattering people.
Of course, he doesn't deny that what they said is correct.
He is not as good as them in magic; in this respect, he is truly useless.
But in other respects, he didn't think they were bad.
However, if he were to attack ordinary people in the mortal world, those in the underworld who look down on him would surely make a big fuss about it.
He must remain in this position and, after his parents have reached the end of their lives, bring them to the underworld and give them a special favor so that they will be well-fed and clothed in their next life.
"Oh? So those compliments you gave me back then weren't sincere? They were just flattery?" Jiang Yuan said with a "oh," teasingly.
"Of course it's the truth, I just added a little rhetoric to make it sound better," Ye You replied, bowing respectfully.
"Oh well, whatever. Anyway, I'm happy to hear what you're saying, and I don't care if you're just saying it to please me."
"Furthermore, since you became a night patroller, the underworld has become better. The underworld officials have started to work in an orderly manner and are no longer as lazy as before. They are working more efficiently, all because of you."
Jiang Yuan continued.
Before the night tours, the underworld wasn't in complete chaos, but the underworld officials often slacked off.
She wanted to manage, but management had always been her weakness.
She didn't know how to motivate the underworld officials, and she couldn't possibly keep an eye on all of them by herself.
It was only after the Night Tour arrived and proposed a whole host of rules, regulations, and reward/punishment systems that the Underworld became a better place.
Aside from his weak spiritual power, what he knew was something that other officials in the underworld, including she, did not.
This is the real reason she promoted Ye You.
otherwise--
Those few flattering words might make her happy, but they weren't enough for her to promote him to the position of Underworld Official.
As for his suggestion to use connections to help his parents get a better chance at being born into a good family, she didn't mind him doing so.
Because she often gave special treatment to some kind-hearted souls in life.
Of course, it was done quietly.
If no one sees it, no one notices it, then it doesn't exist.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Thank you for agreeing to my request, sir."
He expressed his gratitude for the night tour.
Little Yama did not refuse or raise any objections, which means she agreed.
Jiang Yichen, having been intervened by the Little Yama in the mortal world, has arrived in the underworld...
Then it was his turn to make a move.
"So, the reason why my spiritual power is too weak to cultivate is because... this life of mine is not my original life?" Ye You asked suddenly, as if he had just thought of something.
"Yes," Jiang Yuan replied.
"I was just saying, how could someone as intelligent as me have no talent in cultivation at all, and still be at the beginner level after all these years of cultivation?" Ye You said.
The problem that had been troubling him for years was why he was the only one who couldn't cultivate. It turned out...
His life wasn't his.
If it were his original fate, he might have reached an even higher level in cultivation by now!
"By the way, Jiang Yichen is also a well-known novelist. The year he became famous... was exactly six months after you passed away."
"His first short story was called 'The Deer,' which became a hit online. Later, he was recruited by a publishing house editor and switched to writing novels. Within a month, he created two masterpiece novels, 'Nightmare' and 'Traces of the Long Night,' which can be described as a debut that was a peak. He became famous because of these two novels."
