But the woman was completely lost in thought. Jiu Xi smiled and lifted her chin, saying, "I thought you had the ability to see ghosts or something. I didn't expect you to be... a wild ghost!"
Unexpectedly, the woman raised the corner of her lips proudly and said, "One dark and windy night, I was swimming here. I didn't expect that I would be pulled into the water by the water ghost in this hot spring!"
Jiuxi let go of the woman and teased, "Then why don't you pull me?"
Unexpectedly, the girl scratched her hair, made a face, and said, "I wanted to pull you away, but I saw those four sneaky men and wanted to kill them first. But unexpectedly, there was a stream of light coming down from the horizon. I... feel that you guys are not easy to mess with."
Jiuxi took the woman back to the underworld without saying a word. The underworld was in trouble at that time. The woman's name was Jie Ran, and she was from a small mountain village nearby. However, when Jie Ran was born, she was despised by the villagers because of this eye. Even Jie Ran's mother committed suicide by jumping into a well when she was six years old because she could not stand the rumors. Jie Ran's father also went up the mountain to find medicinal herbs to take care of Jie Ran, but he fell off a cliff and died. Even his body was taken away by wild dogs.
Although Jie Ran was only nine years old at the time, he left the village alone because of his cold personality and built a small thatched cottage halfway up the mountain. He had been living like this for so many years. However, the food in the mountains nourishes people, and Jie Ran is quite strong, but the two lumps of flesh on his chest are flat. However, Jie Ran said, "As long as they are not concave, it's fine."
However, Jie Ran felt that the biggest failure in his life was that day when he went to take a bath in the hot spring and was dragged under by a water ghost.
Jiuxi felt that they got along well and liked Jie Ran very much, but he was still afraid that Jie Ran was a spy from somewhere, so he sent a ghost to investigate the village that Jie Ran mentioned. What he found out was exactly the same as what Jie Ran said, so Jiuxi felt relieved and let Jie Ran stay in the underworld.
But what Jie Ran never expected was that this stunning woman in a black robe was actually the Lord of the Underworld, the Pluto who held the power of life and death over the human race. She immediately shamelessly stuck to Jiuxi and flattered him, "Lord Pluto, please keep me here. I don't want to go back and harm anyone!"
Jiuxi pried off Jie Ran's fingers that were pinching her breast one by one and said, "It's not impossible for you to stay in the underworld, but you must know that I will not keep useless people."
Jie Ran's moral integrity was completely gone at this moment, and he said, "Sir, I am not proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, my chest is flat, and my butt is concave. The only useful thing is that my anus looks pretty good."
As he spoke, Jie Ran threw a coquettish glance at Jiuxi.
Jiuxi waved his hands repeatedly, thinking about what kind of nonsense Jie Ran had received over the years. He immediately said, "I will give you three days. If you can find out which ghost messenger the immortal world bribed the underworld, I will give you a chance to be promoted to the underworld messenger!"
When Jie Ran heard this, he ran out with a smile. His heartless look made Jiu Xi smile.
But Jiuxi's face then darkened again. She had to eliminate all the spies in the underworld before she could send Mingye down the river. If the news leaked, the fairy world would definitely take action.
But there are many ghost messengers in the underworld, and Jiuxi estimated that Jie Ran's limited ability would not be enough to find the spy, so he looked through the documents presented by Judge Cui that night. The night gradually became colder, and the lights seemed a little dim. Jiuxi slowly fell asleep on the table.
At this time, the door of the Hades Palace was blown open gently, and Gong Ci slowly appeared at the end of the door, frowning slightly. He gradually walked to Jiuxi's side, covered Jiuxi with his clothes, and whispered, "You did a good job."
