Hell Emperor

Chapter 28 Nan Linghe-Going to the Banquet
Returning to Hades, Ye Jie met Nan Linghe who stayed here as soon as he was at home.

Walking down the stairs, Ye Jie paused and saw a basin of fine sand placed in front of Nan Linghe. She was holding a wooden stick and stirring the fine sand from time to time. On the side, the white-haired wandering soul was looking at it.

"What are you doing?" Ye Jie was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Ah, Brother Jie is back..." Seeing Ye Jie's return, Nan Linghe happily threw down the stick and ran over, "I'm teaching Lucy how to speak."

"Lucy? Are you talking about her? Is this the name you gave her?" Ye Jie scratched his head and looked at the white-haired wandering soul, only to see that the ropes and shackles that bound her had been removed by Nan Linghe .

Nan Linghe shook his head repeatedly: "No, she told me herself."

"Can she speak?" Ye Jie didn't believe it.

As if to prove this to Ye Jie, Nan Linghe pulled Ye Jie in front of the white-haired wandering soul. She raised a slender and soft finger, like a finger carved from white jade, pointed at herself and said: "Nan Linghe. "

Pointing to Ye Jie: "Ye Jie."

Then he pointed at Ye Jie: "Ye Jie."

He also pointed to himself: "Nan Linghe."

Finally, he pointed his finger at the white-haired wandering soul, opened his eyes wide with excitement and expectation, and signaled her to answer the next question.

Ye Jie's mouth twitched, could he ask the answer so easily? Just when he was doubting, the white-haired wandering soul who was silent finally said: "Lucy..."

"What? It actually works?" Ye Jie asked in surprise. He didn't expect that Nan Linghe could really make the wandering soul speak with this seemingly unreliable method.

However, Lu Qian's tone of voice was weird and her frustration was obvious. No matter how Ye Jie recalled it, he couldn't remember hearing a similar accent anywhere, so he had to give up in the end: "It seems that if you want to get the news from her, I'm afraid it won't be necessary." Less time.”

Just when Ye Jie was in trouble, he heard a knock on the door from outside the basement and hurriedly opened the door.

"Fu Ling? Are you feeling well? The injury you suffered last time is okay, right?" After seeing the woman in Gua robe standing outside the door, Ye Jie was stunned for a moment, and then he clasped his fists in greeting.

"I'm fine." Fuling opened the fan with one hand. On the fan was a picture of mountains and rivers. The ink was just the right shade. She said calmly, "I heard that Miss He passed the test and became an official ghost servant. Aunt Meng, the owner of the wine country, was very pleased. Invite her to a banquet and take care of her."

Ye Jie understood and told Nan Linghe the news, asking her to go to the banquet with Fu Ling.

Nan Linghe was about to leave, but saw Ye Jie still staying where he was, and couldn't help but ask Fuling: "What about Brother Jie? Isn't Brother Jie coming?"

Poria turned sideways slightly and glanced at Ye Jie: "Aunt Meng hosted a banquet for you, what does it have to do with him? The other head maids in the wine country have heard about your deeds and want to meet you."

Nan Linghe paused and ran back to Ye Jie: "I was able to become a ghost servant thanks to Brother Jie's help. If he couldn't go, I, I wouldn't go either..."

Hearing this, Ye Jie shook his head: "Don't be stupid, I just took advantage of you. Now you are officially a ghost agent. You need to make your own decisions for many things in the future. You have a very special talent. They The person I want to see is you, not me."

Nan Linghe, however, refused to give up. He stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the corners of Ye Jie's clothes. He refused to let go regardless of anything. He choked up and said, "That's not the case... It's obviously me, it's me who is taking advantage of Brother Jie. If it weren't for Brother Jie, I wouldn't be able to do all this..."

Seeing this situation, Fuling also knew that she could not leave Ye Jie to entertain Nan Linghe, so she had to say: "Forget it, you all come together, it's just a matter of having more pairs of chopsticks anyway."

Nan Linghe then smiled, pulled Ye Jie, and quickly followed Fuling.

Walking out of the basement and entering the wine country hall, Ye Jie saw a familiar figure at a glance.

I saw a ten-foot-tall red demon sitting in the middle of the hall. He was grabbing the delicacies in front of him and stuffing them into his mouth. He made loud slurping sounds while chewing, which made the guests next to him look at him.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the demon screamed angrily: "Hmph! What are you looking at? Go eat your own food!"

Everyone bowed their heads quickly, not daring to express their anger.

After eating all the food on the table, Yaogui straightened his body, and the majestic spiritual power burst out from his body, knocking down many of the guests beside him.

The demon ghost was very satisfied with its power, burped, stood up and walked away.

It wasn't until the demons and ghosts had gone far away that the ghosts, who were almost holding back their internal injuries, began to talk among themselves:
"Gi Cha Ba is so powerful! Judging from his solid and unparalleled spiritual power, it is clear that he is a terrifying power that can only be possessed by the late third level!"

"I heard that the ghost bastard has set his sights on the soul of the Hengshan thief and is squatting outside the camp day and night. Any ghost that comes close will be driven away by it. The yin virtue it has earned this season is comparable to that of the second and third robbers. There is a cliff-like gap between the names. As long as other ghosts don’t take away the soul of the Hengshan Thief, he will be the best ghost of this season!”

"He is worthy of being the number one person in our Guangwang Hall. Looking at this posture, I am afraid that Gui Cha Ba will win the position of Guang Wang Palace's Guang Wang Palace this year with a grand slam... If he can win at the annual Fengyun Conference , which is better than the other hall-level ghosts of the Nine Palaces of Yama. If you become the most popular ghost of the year, you will be rewarded with 100 million yin virtues. That is 100 million yin virtues! Ordinary ghosts like us can live frugally for ten thousand years. , can you save 100 million yin virtues!"

At this moment, Ye Jie, who was climbing the stairs, came into their sight.

The ghost guards seemed to have found a soft persimmon that could be manipulated, and they all started to ridicule:
"Is that Gui Cha Jie? What qualifications does a lowly Gui Chai like him have to come to this expensive Aunt Meng Wine Country?"

"That Gui Cha Jie is just a weak and stupid being. He will never be able to enjoy the same status as us and is not worth mentioning at all! Only strong men like Gui Cha Ba are worthy of our respect."

"Gui Cha Jie is so incompetent and useless. He will only hinder our Guangwang Palace. I really don't understand why such ghosts exist. Anyone who associates with Gui Cha Jie will be laughed at by everyone. ." The voice was so loud that even Ye Jie could clearly hear everyone's ridicule. As he was walking, he saw Nan Linghe in front of him stop and look back at him, his eyes full of grievance and confusion: "Why do those ghosts say this to you?"

Ye Jie shrugged: "The dignity and superiority that people lose in front of the strong always have to be found twice as much from the weak. Don't imitate them."

Nan Linghe puffed up his mouth. Maybe Ye Jie had long been used to hearing those taunts, but to her ears, it was so unpleasant. In her heart, Brother Jie, who was wise and powerful and had no plans, how could he do this? Is it as unbearable as the other ghosts say? They must be wrong!

Nan Linghe raised her head and stared at Ye Jie with her sparkling, moist eyes. A force emerged from her heart that made her lips tremble. Thinking of all the things Ye Jie had done for her along the way, her heart ignited like never before. With determination and courage, he rushed to the stairs and shouted to the ghosts below:
"You are all wrong, Gui Cha Jie is the most powerful!"

Hearing this, even Ye Jie was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the shy and timid Nan Linghe could muster the courage to stand up for himself and make such an outrageous move.

It's a pity that Nan Linghe's voice not only failed to restore Ye Jie's reputation, but instead caused the ghosts below to burst into laughter, as if they heard some joke, and the entire wine country was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Isn't it? There are still people talking to Gui Cha Jie? Doesn't she know how stupid Gui Cha Jie is? If she is with him, she will become stupid herself."

"As a ghost agent in the underworld, Gui Chajie is undoubtedly the most unqualified. He is so incompetent and useless that he is not worthy to be compared with us!"

"Tens of millions of mortals in the world are just pigs and dogs in a livestock pen. The only value of their existence is to give their virtuous filial piety to us ghosts after death. The ghosts don't think about how to deduct yin virtues, but instead help people solve their problems during their lifetimes. The last wish is really laughable!”

Listening to everyone's ridicule, Nan Linghe breathed quickly and looked a little aggrieved. Ye Jie looked as usual, patted her shoulder and said: "There is no need to argue with them, no matter what you do, as long as it is worthy of your heart." .”

Under Ye Jie's comfort, Nan Linghe's expression gradually improved. He grabbed Ye Jie's hand and said reluctantly: "No matter what others say, anyway, in my mind, Brother Jie is the most powerful ghost. "

The two continued to climb the stairs, and soon arrived at the top floor of the wine country. What they saw was a towering golden door. The door was tightly closed, with golden light shining on it, and the door pillars were carved with luxurious and exquisite patterns. , you can tell it’s extraordinary at a glance.

Below, several ghost servants also ran over, quickly climbed up the stairs, chasing Ye Jie's leaving back and sarcastically said:
"Gui Cha Jie, are you lost? This is the Jinxiu Hall where the judges hold banquets. It is not a place for low-level ghosts like you! Do you have the charisma?"

"I heard that the Jinxiu Hall is extremely luxurious. The floor is covered with dragon skin carpets, and the heads of great demons are hung on the walls. Even the tableware is made of gold. There are gems and emeralds everywhere. Once you have seen it once, you will never even dream about it. Forget it. A low-level gangster like you will never get in..."

Just as he was talking, he heard a creaking sound, and with a dull and heavy friction, the golden door slowly opened, and a blinding golden light burst out from inside the door, as if the owner behind the door was speaking with majesty. declare. When the door is fully opened, the sacred and solemn world behind the door is also revealed to everyone.

Ye Jie was the first to step into it. Nan Linghe glared at Gui Cha behind him and followed closely. Everyone who stayed there looked at each other in shock, and they didn't realize what happened for a long time.

The golden door slowly closed. The ghost took courage and looked inward through the gradually shrinking crack in the door. He happened to see a soft, majestic, round and rich face.

Sensing Guizhan's gaze, the man raised his eyes slightly, his eyes filled with radiance and endless divine power that could not be looked directly at. It was a terrifying aura that could only be exuded at the level of an immortal.

"Ghost Fairy Aunt Meng!"

Being stared at by the calm eyes of the ghost and immortal, and feeling the mighty coercion of the immortal level, the peeping ghost's face was pale and bloodless, his pupils shrank, his mouth was opened wide enough to stuff a fist, and his figure He kept backing up, and suddenly he missed his step and rolled down the stairs.

It didn't matter if he rolled away, even the ghosts watching the fun behind him were implicated. They fell all over the stairs, and many tables and chairs were knocked over.

Gui Chajie, who fell down the stairs and fell down the stairs, could not recover until he was kidnapped by the wine country maid to compensate for the loss. No matter how hard he tried, he could not figure out how Gui Chajie, who had been ridiculed by everyone, got involved with Gui Xian. Relationship?

In the Jinxiu Hall, Ye Jie once again saw the Lord of the Wine Country, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Ghost sent Ye Jie to pay my respects to the ghost fairy Aunt Meng."

While cupping his hands, Ye Jie glanced at Nan Linghe without trace. Unfortunately, Nan Linghe did not understand what he meant. He still stood there blankly, looking at Aunt Meng on the main seat with curiosity.

Ye Jie had no choice but to remind: "Nan Linghe, quickly salute the ghost immortal."

"oh oh……"

Only then did Nan Linghe react. He was about to follow Ye Jie's example and bow with his hands when he heard a chuckle: "You don't have to be so formal. You are a distinguished guest from the wine country. I heard that Miss He has passed the exam and became an official ghost." Come on, I have prepared a small gift for you, I hope you will accept it."

After saying that, a maid handed over a sachet. Nan Linghe took the sachet with a curious expression, and heard Aunt Meng say: "This is the sachet of relics. As long as you wear it on your body, no matter who it is, I can’t even detect your innate magical powers.”

Nan Linghe picked up the sachet and looked at it carefully. The fragrance emitted from it made her feel happy. Even Ye Jie showed a bit of surprise and reminded:

"The sachet of relics... I have always wanted to get one, but unfortunately I am too short of money to do so. This small sachet costs at least 200,000 Yin De, which can be said to be a great gift."

Hearing this, Nan Linghe also showed some gratitude and couldn't help but ask: "This gift is so precious, how can I thank you, Aunt Meng?"

"Gui Cha Jie knows what to do. When the time comes, just listen to him." Aunt Meng smiled lightly. The virtues that ordinary Gui Chai can obtain after decades of hard work are just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of her as a ghost fairy. , "The dishes are about to cool down, so let's eat them while they're still hot."

Ye Jie and Nan Linghe took their seats. Also sitting here were the seven chief maids from the wine country. Shark Tooth's melon seeds, Magnolia holding a pipa, and Poria holding a folding fan, they are all present. In addition, there were a few people whom Ye Jie didn't know. One woman had purple hair and her mouth was sewn shut with needle and thread. One girl had cat ears and sharp tiger teeth exposed in her mouth. One was strong and had a stick on her hand. A long gun, and a person with a depressed and sick look.

During the banquet, everyone was very interested in Nan Linghe. They looked at her as if they were looking at a rare treasure and talked to her from time to time. Ye Jie, who was no one paying attention, concentrated on picking up vegetables and took the time to eat more precious spiritual delicacies.

Suddenly, Ye Jie stopped and turned his head slightly, just in time to meet Yulan's gaze. Unlike the other chief maids, Yu Lan did not look at Nan Linghe, her smiling eyes always fell on Ye Jie.

Ye Jie smiled back and continued eating.
