Chapter 53 I want to be a Guide
Moreover, Qin Liu’s consciousness was exceptionally clear, as if she had already arrived in the Underworld.
Her intuition told her that she was no longer dreaming.
After getting out of bed, Qin Liu sat on the rosewood carved chair in the center of the room and poured herself a cup of tea to wake herself up.
Although she didn’t know how long she had slept here, it shouldn’t have been more than a day.
“Phew… The taste is not bad.”
She wondered how Liu Haoyu was doing and wanted to leave to find him.
But her special identity made it easy to cause unnecessary chaos if she went out alone, and the Underworld’s ghost messengers would definitely find him faster than her, who was like a headless fly.
After drinking a cup of tea, Qin Liu let out a helpless sigh.
Waiting was indeed a bit boring, so she looked around the environment to pass the time.
She had to admit that this place was much, much better than her dilapidated house.
The silk cushion on this chair alone looked valuable, not to mention the entire set of rosewood furniture, the jade pendants decorating the surroundings, and the lifelike ancient scrolls. Any one of them could be sold for a lot of money as second-hand goods, right?
Qin Liu was almost restless.
Just as Qin Liu was considering taking something with her, the door to the room was knocked.
Qin Liu looked up and saw Judge Cui walk into the room and say to her.
“Miss Qin Liu, the person you are looking for has been brought here.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Liu’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly.
“Where is he?”
“Please follow me, he is waiting for you in the Hall of Kings.”
After saying that, Judge Cui walked out of the room, and Qin Liu followed closely behind him.
She was eager to see Liu Haoyu.
He should be fine, right?
They had agreed to go through the tribulation, so why did he end up in this place?
Qin Liu was a little worried, especially looking at the stern and majestic judge with sharp eyes, she was even a little scared.
Let’s hope Liu Haoyu doesn’t stir up any major trouble…
Along the way, Qin Liu felt like she had walked for a very, very long time.
The dark corridor and the neatly arranged pale blue candles on both sides made her mood a bit oppressive.
Finally, the scene before her changed.
It was no longer a dark corridor, but a bright hall.
King Yama sat in the center of the Hall of Kings. Dressed in a black dragon-patterned robe, he was high above. This man, who controlled the karma of all living beings, had an unapproachable aura of solemn killing intent between his brows.
Liu Haoyu stood in front of King Yama, cupping his hands slightly, and King Yama said indifferently.
“No need to bow. Judge Cui mentioned that you have something important to request?”
“After the powerful ghost exorcist Gu Qianyang died, he transformed into an even more troublesome fierce ghost. Just a wisp of his remnant soul caused chaos in the Human World, so I want to ask the ghost messengers of the Underworld for help… or, I am willing to become a guide wandering between the Human and Underworld.”
Facing Liu Haoyu’s request, King Yama pretended to ponder and asked.
“It is said that you have some karmic connection with the guide Qin Liu, is this true?”
“It is indeed true. It is precisely because of this that I am considering applying for the position of guide.”
“…”
King Yama gazed at Liu Haoyu and fell into thought.
Normally, to become a guide, one needed to pass many tests and meet various conditions.
As the Black Book said, only powerful deceased individuals or living beings with extremely strong abilities are qualified to become guides.
Liu Haoyu, in his living body, had forcefully entered the Underworld, so he should not be able to become a guide.
But King Yama looked at Qin Liu, who was standing at the doorway, and then said.
“Your strength is indeed extraordinary, but your spiritual sight ability is slightly lacking… If your lifespan had ended, I would definitely consider it…”
King Yama’s words made Liu Haoyu’s heart sink. It turned out it was still not possible?
Just as he was thinking, King Yama continued.
“However, considering your karmic connection with Qin Liu, I can make an exception.”
“But you must understand, what exactly is a guide?”
“To escort departed souls, to cross the Yellow Springs Road, and to endure all sorts of suffering.”
“You will bear the resentment and fear of all departed souls, and their cries and pains from before they died will linger in your ears.”
“Furthermore, if a living person becomes a guide, you will never be able to reincarnate and will gradually lose your human reason. Have you thought it through?”
Such a tragic price is not something everyone is willing to bear.
Even someone as strong as Qin Liu, once her lifespan in her physical body is exhausted, will completely become a guide with no humanity, only divinity.
Just as Liu Haoyu was about to nod in agreement, a slender hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder.
“Wait a moment!”
Qin Liu’s voice rang out from behind Liu Haoyu, interrupting their conversation.
Liu Haoyu turned his head and saw Qin Liu standing behind him. Her expression was not good, and she even looked a little angry and displeased as she looked at Liu Haoyu.
Seeing Qin Liu like this, King Yama was inwardly pleased, but his face showed no expression.
The old fox pretended to be solemn and said.
“Guide Qin Liu, what is it?”
“I don’t think he can become a guide.”
Qin Liu firmly objected.
“This man will only bear everything on his own. Therefore, even if he becomes a guide, his chances of defeating Gu Qianyang are not high.”
As she spoke, Qin Liu’s eyes became increasingly vacant, and her urgency and dissatisfaction made her dull tone exceptionally strong.
“If he is to become a guide devoid of emotion, I would rather thrust him into a black coffin and have his soul eternally confined within, never to be separated for all eternity.”
Such a cold voice made Liu Haoyu shiver.
He could hear that this was definitely Qin Liu’s true feelings.
If he agreed, this little ghost would definitely do something like that!
As expected, Qin Liu’s heart was very dark, and her possessiveness was terrifyingly strong… To be frank, she even leaned towards being yandere.
This reminded Liu Haoyu of a premonition the Black Book had given him before.
The scene where, after he refused Qin Liu, this girl held his head, with vacant eyes and a happy smile on her face…
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu felt a bit of a chill.
But he really just wanted to eat Qin Liu’s white stockings, not her soft rice!
King Yama saw this scene and revealed a barely perceptible smile, but his tone remained indifferent as he said.
“Although you cannot become a guide now, I care about both the Human and Underworld, and I cannot stand by idly in the face of this matter, so I can offer you a small help here.”
Saying that, King Yama took out a soul-extinguishing nail and placed it on the table.
At this moment, he could no longer hold back the corners of his mouth, revealing a foxy smile.
