Chapter 416: Yin Yang Delivery (22)
“Master An Ge, the king of Hell is looking for you.”
Ming Shu looked at the messenger ghost. The little ghost shivered. He didn’t dare to look at Ming Shu. You can’t see me, you can’t see me, you can’t see me.
Ever since Ming Shu brought Ling Yan out of the 19th level, the king of Hell went to strike a deal with Ling Yan and only called for her now.
What do you take me as?
“No.”
The little ghost cried, “Master An Ge, please don’t make it hard for me.”
“Just say that I am not free.”
I still have snacks to finish, Hatred Points to gain, and documents to settle. When will I have the time to see you two striking a deal?
Ming Shu had the highest status in Hell now so there was nothing the little ghost could do. He could only go back and ask the king of Hell.
In the end, the king of Hell brought Ling Yan to find her.
“An Ge.” The king of Hell came in with his hands behind his back. He looked like a 60-year-old man. He had a serious expression on his wrinkled face. “You are getting harder and harder to manage these days.”
Ming Shu ate her snacks while writing on the documents. “Do do you want to manage me?”
The king of Hell: “…”
Recently, An Ge had become odd. She was different from the An Ge from before and everyone suspected that she was switched.
The king of Hell sized up An Ge and coughed. “I have some serious things to speak to you about. Come over for a moment.”
Ming Shu stamped the last package with the official stamp of Yin Yang Delivery and walked over with her snacks. “I’m very busy. If there is anything serious, forget about it. If there are any small issues, I can’t be bothered.”
Ling Yan squinted at her with a dark expression. His eyes showed hints of arrogance and disdain.
Ming Shu didn’t look anywhere and just ate her snacks calmly.
Ling Yan: “…” I have been posing for so long. Take a look at me!
“Ling Yan and you will make a trip to the Northwest.” The king of Hell went straight to the point.
“The Northwest?” Ming Shu looked at Ling Yan, who was posing. “It is deserted there. What are we going there for? To kill him in secret?”
Ling Yan gritted his teeth and almost couldn’t control his temper. How much do you want to kill me secretly!
“You will know when you arrive there.” The king of Hell didn’t want to tell her too much. “When you arrive, Ling Yan will tell you what to do. You two can leave immediately.”
Ming Shu didn’t move. “If you don’t tell me the reason, I will not go.”
What happens if my hand suddenly loses control and I kill him accidentally in the wilderness?
I have to be careful about my snacks.
[…] What does this have to do with snacks!
The king of Hell gave a stern face. “An Ge, this is an order.”
“Oh, then I will quit immediately. Please accept my resignation when you have the time.” Ming Shu smiled.
The king of Hell: “…”
He looked at Ling Yan. He was wearing a long face too, like the stifling atmosphere before the storm.
Ling Yan sneered, “Since you want to know, I will tell you.”
“Please start your performance.” Ming Shu hugged her snacks and lifted her legs, ready to listen to the story.
Ling Yan took a deep breath. He would not argue with her. “Do you know why I left Hell?”
“I am not the lice on your body, how will I know why you left?”
“What did you say?” Who has lice on his body?
Ming Shu smiled without any stress. “Does your ear have problems? There must be quite a few doctors in Hell waiting to reincarnate. Do you need me to find one for you to examine you? No consultation fee needed.”
“Say that again!” I must kill this idiot today!
The two of them glared at each other. The king of Hell instantly moved them apart. “I will speak.”
If he let Ling Yan say it, they might start fighting before anything could be told.
“Ling Yan left Hell because he realized that someone touched his things.” The king of Hell summarized everything. “By right, I cannot let him leave Hell, but the ghosts I sent couldn’t find who did it and that was why I agreed to let him investigate it himself. Now, Ling Yan’s body has reached the limit. If we don’t restore his things, there will be trouble for the human world and Hell.”
The king of Hell said it very generally, but Ming Shu understood what he wanted to say.
He meant that World War III would start soon.
“What is the thing that you all are looking for?”
The king of Hell didn’t reply to her directly. He just said, “You both will go to the Northwest now and follow what Ling Yan said. An Ge… the safety of Hell and the human world will be in your hands. Don’t disappoint me.”
The safety of Hell and the human world… such a big responsibility. I’m a bit scared.
Ming Shu took two bites of her snacks to calm herself down. Her eyes turned bright. “Why don’t you give me a million soldiers and I will lead these soldiers to kill those little ghosts that are causing the trouble?”
The king of Hell: “…”
What kind of place do you think Hell is? Where will we get a million soldiers from?
Just calm down.
I am the king of Hell. I can’t lose face in front of my subordinate.
“An Ge, you were not like this before.”
“How was I like before?”
Ming Shu tilted her head and asked this. She seemed really curious about how she was before.
“The An Ge from before would not question my decisions. She would not be so disrespectful too. Are you really An Ge?” the king of Hell said strictly.
Ling Yan glanced sideways too. There seemed to be a light shining in his eyes.
“Shouldn’t you be the clearest about whether I am An Ge or not?” Ming Shu smiled. She said with a soft voice, “Is it easy to pass off as a high official in Hell?”
The king of Hell: “…” I know you are the real one and that is why I find it weird.
The king of Hell flicked his sleeve. “I don’t care what you are planning to do. Get ready to leave immediately.”
So angry I can die.
The An Ge from before was so obedient. If you asked her to go east, she would not go west. If you asked her to kill little ghosts, she would not kill evil ghosts. Who the hell is this person now. She just went to the human world once. What did she learn?
Next time… no, there is no next time. I will not let her go to the human world again!
No ghost will not be allowed to go to the human world if they have no reason.
The king of Hell was so angry he immediately set this rule. The entire population of Hell groaned. They didn’t know why he made this rule.
…
The Northwest…
The environment in the Northwest was very bad. The economy there was slow. A few years ago, it was still a remote and backwater place. After developing for the past few years, it got slightly better.
However, there was not many people here. Ming Shu was right to say that it was a desolate area.
Fewer people meant that there was less food.
Less food meant that Ming Shu would get hungry.
A hungry Ming Shu was an angry Ming Shu. She felt like mocking everyone she met.
“What are you looking at? Have you never seen a ghost as beautiful as me who is going to become a hungry ghost?” Ming Shu smiled and looked at the wandering and wild ghosts along the roads.
These wandering and wild ghosts didn’t have much experience and didn’t know who An Ge was. They just saw An Ge’s smile and thought it was beautiful. Hence, they nodded their heads in a daze and said stupidly, “Beautiful.”
Ling Yan came from afar and with a flick of his sleeve, he flicked all the ghost far away.
“Why don’t we hurry on our journey instead of smiling at them so happily?” What are you smiling at? What is there to smile about at those wandering ghosts?
So angry.
He didn’t know what he was angry about.
“No,” Ming Shu rejected, “I’m hungry.”
“The Yin Qi nearby…”
“I want food!” Ming Shu stared at him. “I want snacks, pig trotters, drumsticks.”
I miss my chef’s pig trotters.
Ling Yan: “…”
F**k, where am I supposed to find pig trotters and drumsticks for you in this wilderness?
Don’t you know that you’re a ghost? What are you eating pig trotters and drumsticks for!
