Chapter 48 This young man
Seeing Liu Qian, whose trace had completely disappeared, Liu Haoyu felt a little dejected.
In a moment of carelessness, his book was even “kidnapped.”
Although it was very likely that Liu Qian did not do it intentionally.
This girl was very much like Qin Liu, appearing serious and proper, but actually a bit slow-witted.
However, these were not important matters now. The priority was to get the position of Guide for himself at the King Yama’s Palace.
Before coming to the Underworld, Liu Haoyu had thought that he would have to pass some tests, overcome some obstacles, and go through eighty-one tribulations to become a Guide.
As it turned out, after arriving at the Underworld.
Wow, it was like a job fair.
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Liu Haoyu rushed to the King Yama’s Palace without delay.
From the Ghost Gate Pass… oh no, it should be called the Boundary between Yin and Yang Population Control Bureau, one could see the location of the King Yama’s Palace.
Walking up the stairs would lead to the King Yama’s Palace.
This was also why Liu Qian did not continue to guide Liu Haoyu.
With such a short distance, only a fool like Qin Liu would get lost, right?
Liu Haoyu shrugged and began to climb the stairs.
Distant mountains look easy to cross, but are hard to reach. Although the King Yama’s Palace could be seen from here, it still took some time to get there.
However, when he was halfway there, he heard those heavy footsteps again.
Liu Haoyu looked up and saw an Ox-Head monster, nearly three meters tall, standing above him.
It was panting heavily and excitedly, its eyes were red, like a barbarian encountering a female knight.
“You lowly criminals! I’ve finally found you!”
It gripped the steel fork behind it.
As Ox-Head roared, dozens of ghosts rushed over from all directions, surrounding Liu Haoyu.
Seeing this formation, Liu Haoyu could only raise his hands.
After all, confronting the judicial system of the Underworld was somewhat unrealistic.
But even so, his expression remained very calm.
“Lord Ox-Head, I am a model citizen.”
“Whether you are a good citizen or not, I know it in my heart.”
Just like the stereotype in movies and TV shows, Ox-Head Ghost Messenger was a bit like Li Kui in personality, a stubborn and straightforward person.
Explaining things to such a person was the most troublesome.
Ox-Head walked up to Liu Haoyu and sniffed him.
“Are you a lackey of that Guide named Qin Liu?”
“No, not a lackey, she’s my wife.”
Upon hearing this, Ox-Head Ghost Messenger was stunned. He burst into laughter, pointing at Liu Haoyu and saying.
“You? Wife? Hahahaha!!”
As if hearing a funny joke, Ox-Head patted Liu Haoyu’s shoulder casually, with a force that almost knocked Liu Haoyu apart.
“Lowly criminals, I can’t tell who likes whom. As for you, what’s so good about that crazy woman?”
“And as for that crazy woman, can your thin arms and legs last one night in bed?”
Although Ox-Head spoke arrogantly, Liu Haoyu was too lazy to argue with such a guy. He just explained calmly.
“Her white stockings bring me joy.”
“Alright, old Ox respects you as a real man.”
Ox-Head silently gave Liu Haoyu a thumbs-up, but even so, he took out a bundle of ropes and prepared to tie Liu Haoyu up tightly.
“But smuggling is smuggling. Now, old Ox will throw you back.”
Just then, a stern man walked over and said.
“Wait a moment.”
Hearing someone stop him, Ox-Head’s expression turned displeased. His bell-like eyes widened. He turned his head, about to vent his anger, but upon seeing the person, he immediately became submissive.
“Judge Cui, why are you here?”
“If I don’t come, you’ll really turn the world upside down,” Judge Cui said in a cold voice, “Let him go.”
“Judge Cui, I think this person is suspicious, and he’s a smuggler. I’m worried he’ll disrupt the order of the Underworld…”
Ox-Head was about to say more, but Judge Cui slowly walked up to him. His dignified and cold gaze swept over Ox-Head and Liu Haoyu. Even without saying a word, he exuded a strong, invisible oppressive feeling.
“He is not smuggling. Check his pocket carefully.”
When he heard Judge Cui say this, Ox-Head immediately opened Liu Haoyu’s pocket. Upon closer inspection, it was a temporary residence permit for the Underworld.
This made Ox-Head completely shut up, and he could only mutter quietly.
“Clearly, this person smells of that Guide…”
Although he said this, Ox-Head could only lower his head and turn around with his ghosts to leave.
Liu Haoyu looked at the stern man beside him, bowed slightly, and said.
“Thank you.”
“No need.”
Judge Cui waved his hand, pulled Liu Haoyu up, and said.
“Follow me.”
Unexpectedly, the cold Judge Cui was exceptionally enthusiastic towards Liu Haoyu. But…
Liu Haoyu felt as if the other party was looking at him as if he were a qualified tool.
As they walked, Judge Cui asked.
“What business do you have here?”
Facing this question, Liu Haoyu naturally had to play his part well and said sincerely.
“I am a Ghost Exorcist, but I encountered a powerful and unbeatable monster in the Human World, so I had to come to the Underworld, either to become a Guide or to seek help from the Underworld officials.”
As soon as he said this, Liu Haoyu felt that the other party looked at him even more like a tool.
Judge Cui nodded with satisfaction.
“Good! The Underworld needs ambitious youths like you. I will go and inquire about King Yama’s opinion. You rest here for a moment and wait.”
Judge Cui led Liu Haoyu to a exquisite and luxurious small room and then left.
Although Liu Haoyu was a bit confused about Judge Cui’s intentions, he was indeed a bit tired after a whole night of activity. So, he lay down on the bed and took a nap.
—
On the other side, Judge Cui entered the King Yama’s Palace.
At this time, King Yama was watching a computer, or rather, he was watching a live broadcast.
Seeing Judge Cui arrive, he quickly switched the live broadcast on the computer back to the work interface.
After doing all this, King Yama slowly turned around and asked Judge Cui.
“Judge Cui, you seem to be in a hurry. Is there something important?”
“It is indeed a very important matter,” Judge Cui bowed slightly. “The Guide returned to the Underworld to find a man.”
Upon hearing this, King Yama almost fell off his chair.
“There’s such a thing?!”
“Don’t worry, Lord Yama,” Judge Cui said calmly. “The Guide is not here to cause trouble, and I have already found the man she mentioned.”
“That’s good…”
King Yama breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
“So, what is this man’s background?”
“From what I’ve seen, the red threads of their destiny are already tied together. You should understand the relationship, Lord Yama.”
Hearing this, King Yama leaned back slightly, his eyes showing a trace of admiration, and he let out a heartfelt sigh.
“Damn, this young man… does he not know that Qin Liu is old enough to be his mother?”
