Chapter 316 Reason
“Your great-auntie.” Yun Yi flicked her whip.
When King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang recognized Yun Yi, a flash of fear crossed their eyes, but they quickly replaced it with fawning smiles: "Princess, what brings you here?"
Once they reached the position of Yama, ordinary Yin power couldn't harm them. However, this old lady possessed no ordinary Yin power; it was the Yin power inherited from the Great Emperor of Fengdu, the Son of the Underworld, making it very easy for her to defeat them.
Another thing that makes them wary is that this old lady's soul power is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld at all. In fact, it can be said that it is outside the Five Elements. As long as she does not do anything against the laws of nature, even the Heavenly Dao cannot control her.
"Can't I come?" Yunyi waved.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face immediately moved a chair and placed it behind them.
"Tell me, what exactly caused such a big fight?" Yunyi sat down. "They even shook the ghosts out of their mortal realm and scared the humans unconscious. If this gets out..."
King Qin Guang hurriedly stepped forward: "Princess, it's all his fault for causing trouble and disobeying me. I can't let him get away with this, can I?"
"You're talking nonsense, you're just showing off." King Chujiang was displeased. "It's something that people...even ghosts can't stand."
"To be honest, no matter the reason, it's not good for you two to keep fighting like this. After all, neither of you can kill the other, so fighting is basically a waste of time. The key is that you're also damaging public property, which shows that you have no sense of public morality at all." Yun Yi sighed, "And once the old man finds out, you two will be punished. If the old man is a bit of a chatterbox and goes to the higher-ups to complain, he might just get you two removed from your posts. It wouldn't be nice if you were sent to the stripping pavilion or the freezing hell."
King Chujiang's lips twitched. This princess really had a sharp tongue. He was in charge of the Stripping Pavilion and the Frozen Hell, and she made him suffer in his own hell.
King Qin Guang straightened his robes: "I am the First King of Hell appointed by the Heavenly Emperor. He is not convinced and always wants to suppress me. I can't just stand by and do nothing, can I?"
“He is completely unworthy of his position,” King Chujiang said, his eyes wide.
"he……"
"Alright, you're all ghosts who are tens of thousands of years old, why are you still so childish?" Yunyi was so annoyed by the two ghosts' arguing that she couldn't help but wave her whip.
The two ghosts shrank back and quieted down.
"Little Princess." At this moment, a ghostly figure drifted over from afar. "Long time no see."
"Meng Po," Yun Yi stood up, "It's been a long time."
Meng Po quickly arrived in front of Yun Yi and looked her over: "Your soul power seems to be stronger now."
"You've become even more beautiful," Yunyi smiled, raising her hand to touch the green rejuvenating grass leaf tucked into the other's hair.
Ye Zi shivered slightly, then shook her leaves as if to greet Yun Yi.
When I read stories in the human world, I always heard that Meng Po was a very old woman. Some portraits and TV dramas also depicted her like that. However, when she went to the underworld, the Meng Po she encountered was a transformation of the Resurrection Grass. She was an incredibly beautiful ghost with a seductive figure and, in particular, long, flowing hair that reached her feet.
Not only were lustful ghosts unable to move when they saw her, but even the most respectable ghosts in hell didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"Don't move." Meng Po took two steps back. "I'm not a male ghost. What if I fall in love with you if you touch my natal herb?"
"Haha." Yun Yi laughed, "You didn't fall in love with me for tens of thousands of years, but now you've fallen in love with me?"
"Isn't that because you always add water to my soup?" Meng Po rolled her eyes at her.
"Cough cough." The Night Wanderer behind her coughed twice, reminding Yunyi that this was not the time to reminisce.
Yunyi glanced back at the ghosts, then looked at Meng Po: "Let's not talk about the past. You didn't come here to reminisce with me, did you?"
"I came for the two of them." Meng Po turned around and glanced at King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang. "After fighting for so long, there are fewer ghosts queuing up for soup at my place."
"You know about their feud?"
"I know," Meng Po said, pursing her lips. "Isn't it all because of a woman?"
"Huh? A woman? Shouldn't it be a female ghost?"
"No, it's a woman." Meng Po raised the soup ladle in her hand. "This woman is related to you."
"Hmm?" Yunyi frowned. "What does this have to do with me?"
"Look," Meng Po said, raising the soup spoon in her hand.
A screen quickly formed on the soup spoon, reflecting a person. Although this was the first time Yunyi had seen it, the original owner of the body had memories of it; it was none other than the original owner's mother, Qi Miao'er.
"They fought over my mother?" Yunyi exclaimed, looking at the approaching Yama King. "Weren't they fighting over who was stronger?"
The two ghosts lowered their heads, looking somewhat guilty.
"It's a long story..."
"Then let's make a long story short."
Meng Po was taken aback: "You're really not cute."
"My time is limited."
"Qi Miao'er is the reincarnation of the Nine Netherworld Maiden after her tribulation. When they were in the mortal realm, they were childhood sweethearts with the Maiden, but they both betrayed her. Later, the Maiden severed her ties with them and entered the cycle of tribulation again. After they realized their mistakes, they went to the underworld to find the Maiden and atone for their sins..."
Yunyi's lips twitched. Was it really that melodramatic?
"In this final life, Su Nu did not enter the cycle of the Five Elements, but instead entered what you call an alternate era, where she experienced her final tribulation of love. After this life ends, she will be able to return to the Heavenly Court and reclaim her rightful place."
Yunyi nodded: "But even if my mother is in this life, why are they fighting?"
"Qi Miao'er faked her death, but she has already completed her destined love tribulation. Now she is free and can die peacefully in that world." Meng Po glanced at Yun Yi. "And these two both want to go up and be your father."
Yunyi was both amused and exasperated: "For someone to be my father, doesn't it have to be my mother's and my agreement? Do they think that whoever wins can become the father?"
Besides, there's Mo Lin waiting outside.
This mother is really popular.
"So it is said that love can blind people, and it can also blind ghosts." Meng Po looked at those two Yama Kings as if they were idiots.
"Alright." Yun Yi rubbed her temples, got up and walked to King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang. "You two should go back to being good brothers. I know my own mother. Once a man is unfaithful, he will never be trusted again. These hindsight suggestions about atonement are just disgusting. Besides, there's already a prospective father waiting for my mother up there. Even if you two go up there, it will only cause you more heartbreak."
King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang exchanged a glance, then slumped their shoulders: "Do we really have no chance?"
“It’s definitely gone.” Yunyi shook her head. “Besides, humans and ghosts are different. In this life, let my mother find a good man to live out the rest of her life.”
