Chapter 381: Waiting for a Hundred Years

When he could finally look up, he still had a smiling expression, "You’re being polite to me, but I’m not used to it."

Nanli nodded knowingly, "So this is your style."

Qiu Hai couldn’t be bothered to explain, he just nodded, "Yes, yes, the Lord Ancestor has noticed, I wouldn’t be happy if you didn’t tease me."

This scene was seen by the civil and military judges.

Their reaction was intense.

It turned out that flattering and kissing up to Hell Lord before was wrong; the correct way to advance was to verbally taunt and mock Hell Lord!

So the following scene unfolded—

After Qiu Hai found the list, he urged Nanli to quickly draw symbols.

Although Nanli was cramming at the last minute, after a few attempts, she grasped it and drew a symbol that concealed Qiu Hai’s ghostly aura.

"Lord Ancestor is truly formidable!" Qiu Hai naturally praised.

Nanli put away her Tianxing pen, "It didn’t take too much time, not bad."

After Qiu Hai finally managed to go out for a trip, he naturally didn’t want to return too early, so he specially instructed the ghost judge, "All the ghosts who have reported in these days will be judged by you. Be careful and don’t make mistakes."

The civil and military judges glanced at each other and nodded.

The military judge’s tone was a bit harsh, "Hell Lord, just go play in the mortal realm for a couple of hours. If you come back late, I’ll remove your head!"

"?" Qiu Hai turned around and stared at that ghost judge.

His eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.

Nanli was slightly surprised. Was this military judge imitating her?

But looking at Qiu Hai’s expression, something was clearly not right.

She pursed her lips and silently retreated to the side.

"Do you think anyone can speak to me like that? Seeking death!" Qiu Hai said coldly, then suddenly realized, "Oh, wait, you’re already dead."

He raised his hand slightly, opened his palm, and suddenly released a force that instantly tore the military judge’s soul to pieces.

The military judge didn’t even have a chance to scream.

The civil judge trembled and curled up.

"Hell Lord, please calm down!" he shouted, "This has nothing to do with us!"

Qiu Hai snorted, "Bothering me with your presence. Send him to the Bridge of Helplessness and let him reincarnate."

The civil judge shook his head, "But if you don’t piece together his soul, he can only go to the animal realm."

"Then let him go to the animal realm," Qiu Hai brushed his sleeve and was very angry, "Are none of you capable of learning from Lord Ancestor?! If you keep babbling, you’ll go too, civil and military judges. Can’t I find other ghosts to do your job?"

The civil judge dared not speak at this moment, hurriedly picked up the torn apart military judge and sent him towards the Bridge of Helplessness.

"Wait." Nanli hurriedly pulled Qiu Hai’s sleeve, "If you follow me to the mortal realm, only the civil judge watches over Hell Lord Palace. How can he handle it all alone?"

Qiu Hai shrugged, "But he’s so blind. I hate seeing anyone imitate you."

"It’s not a big deal. Let’s prioritize the overall situation," Nanli said.

Qiu Hai’s expression softened.

The military judge saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. When his soul was pieced together, he would definitely bow to Nanli in gratitude.

Who knew Nanli would then say, "After you come back, you can tear him apart again and send him to reincarnate."

After all, ghosts are being fully utilized now.

The military judge just wanted to endure the pain of being torn apart once; he didn’t want to go through it a second time.

Qiu Hai clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Lord Ancestor is indeed wise."

He raised his hand and with a pinch, pieced together the military judge’s soul again. Then he happily followed Nanli to the mortal realm.

The military judge already wanted to quit.

He lamented, "Hell Lord is not fond of this at all; he clearly prefers Lord Ancestor’s way! I was really blind to seek my own way out!"

Wuu wuu... He didn’t want to be torn apart a second time, nor did he want to become an animal.

The civil judge sighed, "Just do your job well. Perhaps if Hell Lord is pleased, you might not be reborn as a fat pig eating slops in your next life."

The military judge was tearfully pleading, "Then open a back door for me. I want to be a pampered pet in a wealthy family, eating well and living well."

"That can be arranged," the civil judge nodded and flipped through the registry of reincarnation, "But many ghosts want to be pet cats. I can’t show too much favoritism. You’ll still have to wait in line."

"How long is the wait?"

"Not long, just a hundred years."

"... Even reincarnating as a pet cat is in such high demand these days?"

The Yuan family.

Yuan Liang stubbornly refused to sign the divorce papers.

Ming Ying couldn’t bear it any longer. She sought out the elders of the Yuan clan and gathered them together to state her position.

If Yuan Liang refused to divorce, she would report him for using illegal means in his business dealings, evading taxes. The amount was not small; shutting down his shop was trivial, but confiscating his property and imprisoning him were serious matters.

Upon hearing this, the elders’ expressions changed drastically. They all advised Yuan Liang not to quarrel with Ming Ying and quickly sign the divorce papers to avoid dragging down the Yuan family.

Yuan Liang’s face turned cold as he clenched his fists.

He glared fiercely at Ming Ying, but she stood there with her pregnant belly, looking calm and fearless.

He had underestimated this woman who came from the Ming family of Jiaodong. How could she be without any means?

He had looked down on her!

Seeing that the elders had almost finished speaking, Ming Ying stepped back, "Yuan Liang, you can keep the dowry I brought. Just sign the divorce papers, and I’ll leave with our daughter immediately. Whether you want to marry another wife or take more concubines in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

After all the ups and downs of these days, Yuan Liang had already torn his face with her. At this point, he couldn’t be bothered to pretend or deceive her anymore.

He remained calm, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Yuan Liang?" Ming Ying felt somewhat uneasy, unsure of what he was thinking. "If you have any demands, just say it."

The other elders quickly spoke up to continue persuading.

Finally, Yuan Liang spoke up, "Ming Ying, you should go and see Yany."

"What?" Ming Ying was momentarily taken aback.

Just then, a nanny rushed into the hall, panting heavily, "Madam! Madam! Something terrible has happened!"

"What’s wrong?" Ming Ying stood up abruptly.

This nanny was taking care of her eldest daughter. Since Yuan Liang had just said something strange again, it was definitely because something had happened to Yany.

The nanny said, "Yany has coughed up blood. It looks like she’s in critical condition!"

Ming Ying’s body swayed, and her vision darkened. She almost fell to the ground.

Servants rushed forward to support her and gave her medicine. "Madam, you must hold on!"

Upon hearing such terrible news, Ming Ying really felt like she couldn’t hold on, but suddenly, a warm flow surged in her abdomen, flowing through her limbs and bones. Finally, she managed to take a breath.

Ming Ying turned around and glared angrily at Yuan Liang, "What did you do to Yany!?"

Yuan Liang raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly, "Nothing much, just gave her a bit of poison."

The elders’ faces changed color; they felt that Yuan Liang had gone mad.

Ming Ying cursed furiously, "You scum! She’s your own daughter!"
