Fu Jin carried Xiao Guoer all the way to the Pluto Palace. Seeing Cang Ming napping on the table, she hadn't said anything when Xiao Guoer called out, "Grandfather!"
It was the childish call of this life. Cang Ming's eyes suddenly opened and he said, "Fu Jin, did I hear correctly just now? Was it Xiao Guoer calling me?"
Fu Jin nodded, and Cang Ming quickly rushed over and held Xiao Guoer in his arms, smiling even brighter, "Xiao Guoer is so good!"
Jiuxi leaned against the door frame, a warm smile slowly appearing on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, Bai Wuchang came over from a distance with a worried look on his face. Jiuxi said, "Xiaobai!"
Even though Bai Wuchang had a worried look on his face, he still managed a smile and said to Jiuxi, "My Queen!"
The originally cold and chilly hall was now filled with sweet laughter because of Xiao Guoer. Jiu Xi couldn't bear to interrupt and asked Bai Wuchang, "What happened?"
Bai Wuchang mumbled, not knowing what to say for a moment. At this moment, Fu Jin and Cang Ming came out of the hall. Fu Jin said to Jiuxi, "Xi'er, your father and I are going to take Xiao Guo'er to visit your maternal grandparents."
Grandfather... Jiuxi was confused. When did she have a grandfather? She hadn't even seen him in ten thousand years!
Instead, Cang Ming smiled sheepishly and said, "After your mother passed away... I stopped communicating with your maternal family... Xi'er, do you want to go with us?"
Originally, he was still very interested in his maternal grandfather's home, but now seeing the sad face of Bai Wuchang, Jiuxi suppressed his sadness, touched Xiao Guoer's head, and said, "Be obedient when you go there."
After a pause, Jiuxi looked at Cangming and said, "I'm not going. Someone has to take care of the underworld."
After Cangming and his party left, Jiuxi felt that her originally full heart was now empty, and she regretted not following Xiaoguoer. However, what Bai Wuchang said made her frown. When the ghost catcher went to capture the souls this time, there was not a single living person in that village. There were only a few wandering ghosts. The ghost catchers did not catch the ghosts listed in the Book of Life and Death. However, those wandering ghosts said that a monster had come to their village and captured all the people in the village.
The ghost messenger searched several nearby hills but could not find any clues. She could only return dejected. She thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of monsters are those wild ghosts?"
Bai Wuchang shook his head, looking distressed. "My Lady... Xiao Hei has already taken people to investigate. He hasn't returned for several days."
This is what worries Bai Wuchang.
Jiuxi said calmly, "Xiaobai, go to that village with Li Zang. If you see anything, don't act rashly. Just come back and report to me."
Bai Wuchang and Li Zang left the underworld after receiving the order.
The monster that had captured the villagers in a rage was heading towards the mass grave where the Demon Lord was staying. After A Lian's narration, the Demon Lord finally understood that the Ghost General was about to come out of retreat, and the Ghost General had a lover, the wolf monster. When the wolf monster saw that the Ghost General was about to come out of retreat, he quickly brought more than a hundred villagers to absorb the Ghost General's energy.
The Demon Lord was suddenly a little crestfallen. He had originally wanted to sacrifice his looks, but now, even that wasn't possible. So... poaching?
About a hundred villagers were locked in a cave, and were force-fed soup by little monsters every day. Even their throats were poisoned and they could not make any sound. Naturally, they did not have the strength to make any sound. The soup also contained knockout drugs, and the villagers who drank it became confused and unconscious.
