ing to take it to Taichi Divine Lord for repair and then hand it over to me when it was done.Ming Zhang returned smoothly, and I let out a huge sigh of relief. Jiang Qiyun didn't need to plead guilty,...The sound came closer and closer, until finally it crashed in.

On the case table, bamboo slips, brushes, inkstones, and stationery fluttered about. Yin officials and little demons scurried around to pick them up.

A little boy, a child of the deity Tai Yi, was driving his supercar, a giant gourd, at high speed. Perhaps because of the excessive speed, after braking, he was flung right into...

The little boy brushed the paper off his head and chuckled, "Sorry, sorry... I just finished a new batch of pills, so the gourd's weight changed a bit..."

“Then take it slow, all that fussing…” I got up to pull him up and squatted down to help the little devils tidy up.

To be honest, the little demons in the underworld are the most hardworking and dedicated. Having experienced life and death, they are indifferent to stress and worries.

When there is work to be done, work diligently. When there are orders to be followed, execute them faithfully. This is the way of hard work.

I am not used to watching others busy themselves in front of me while I do nothing. However, as soon as I crouched down, the little demons did not dare to move, one by one bowing their heads and retreating.

"Alright, I've apologized to everyone. Little Empress, you don't have to busy yourself anymore, come up, come up, I have something to tell you." The little boy pulled my arm and dragged me aside.

"What's the matter Is it about the Emperor" I asked.

"...then what else could I possibly ask of you" he said with an air of self-assuredness, his voice a hushed whisper. "I just followed the Grand Deity to the Purple Forbidden Palace!"

Oh my... My mouth is shaped like an "O". It's true that gossip from all over the place relies on little gossipmongers!

I and the little boy squatted under a pillar, not knowing when Bai Wu Chang also squatted down. Even squatting, he was still much taller than us.

"...The Purple Emperor was extremely furious! I'm not exaggerating, I haven't seen the Purple Emperor this angry in hundreds of years!"

Really Really

"The Heavenly Emperor was scolded severely by the Jade Emperor! He got a real scolding~~~ Oh my goodness, it was terrible! Not a single immortal in the entire Purple Forbidden Palace dared to plead for him!"

Good heavens…

“It startled Taishen, our most revered deity. Taishen is known for his compassion and kindness, always rescuing those in need. He felt great pity for Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and the Empress Dowager. So, he brought me away from the Qinghua Changle Realm, riding on a nine-headed lion towards the Purple Forbidden Palace to plead with…” The little attendant tugged at the red string hanging from his gourd’s mouth and patted his chest.

"When I reached the Ziwei Palace, I didn't even dare to enter the Tianchu Palace... Even from outside the corridor, I could hear the Purple Emperor’s furious voice. Your Majesty stood there listening patiently, being scolded and scolded until he burst into tears!"

"Huh" I was surprised.

Was Jiang Qiyun scolded to tears Scolding him to tears To tears

The little boy coughed softly and whispered, “No, no… It’s the Purple Micro Emperor who made me cry…”

Oh my god...No way!

An image of the landlord, trembling with anger at his willful son's antics, flashed through my mind.

This little boy narrated vividly, even more theatrically than a storyteller.

Bai Wuchang squatted beside me, his wide robes and sleeves dragging on the ground, looking like a big white steamed bun.

He patted the child's head with a summoning talisman and chuckled, covering his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense. How could the Great Emperor Ziwei cry"

The little boy giggled and said, “I’m just teasing the young mistress, don’t expose me… It’s no fun teasing others, only the young mistress believes everything I say and is so honest.”

Good lord, are you guys this bored

"Don't tease me, okay I'm freaking out, worried Jiang Qiyun will get punished—" I didn't know whether to laugh or get angry.

The little boy smiled: “Punishment is necessary... This is all for his protection, after all. The Heavenly Emperor strictly ordered the immortal gods to safeguard the balance of realms. The Jade Emperor made a mistake, but luckily General Bai Wuchang cautioned him in time, preventing any major incidents… There should be rewards afterwards.”

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

The little boy looked at Bai Wu Chang, who said without blinking, "Oh~ It's my duty as a subordinate to advise the Emperor. How dare I talk about rewards Hehehe..."

...I'm speechless. Qiyeye, you were just about to continue causing trouble! Are all of you immortals this nonchalant

“But~~~,” the little boy changed his tone and looked at me, “Little Lady, you have to punish me.”

Huh!

I am indeed a bit slower than others. These past few years under Jiang Qiyun's guidance, I'm not as weak and prone to crying as before. I can even handle some earthly affairs myself.

But if I were to encounter these demons, no matter how much I trained and grew stronger, my efforts would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

It's true that because of me, Jiang Qiyun did some things he shouldn't have done to save me.

But I'm only a body of yin and yang, even with various opportunities, throughout history no one who is incompetent or lacking virtue has been able to ascend in broad daylight.

I don't know what to do to protect myself. If there are any consequences, I won't complain.

The Taiyi Zhenjun told the Ziwu Great Emperor, "This time it's because of the upheaval in the Demon Realm. Little Empress, you did your best to protect yourself and managed to escape back before the situation escalated. That's why the Ziwu Great Emperor tacitly acknowledged…"

"But that divine being is too protective, he came up with a punishment..." The little boy laughed mischievously.

"What can we do" I asked him helplessly, following his tone.

“That’s… Lady, you are now in the underworld, aren’t you You’ve accumulated a lot of virtue and cultivation to protect yourself, but you’ve also lost quite a bit. So, we’re giving you a position in the underworld. This way, you can accumulate your cultivation while working to atone for your sins.”

Huh You want me to work

Should I help the Meng Po Goddess boil the soup, or go sweep the stairs at the Yin Jingtian Palace...

The little boy's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "That's... that's... let you go... be... pff..."

"Cut it out, just tell me already! I'll go fetch the ghosts or clean up, anything." I really wanted to smack him.

The little boy covered his mouth and said, "Taishen said, punish you to be, to be, to be a little ghost..."

"Oh my... that must have been tough..." Bai Wu Chang covered his mouth, looking at me with a sympathetic face.

I'm about to lose it, these two have been making fun of me for their amusement!

"Don't be afraid, becoming a ghost is not difficult at all! You're already working in this field in the mortal world anyway! It's just an added identity, your name will appear on the book of ghosts and deities in the Underworld. This way..." The little boy whispered: "You can have some convenience in traveling between yin and yang... So when you encounter situations you can't handle, you can escape back to the Underworld!"

I was stunned. This punishment sounded like it was protecting me

The little boy squinted and whispered, "If you want to talk about the most protective deity in the Upper Realm, our Taichi Deity ranks second, and no one dares to claim first place..."

"Thank you, Divine One, for your protection..." I bowed my head and acknowledged the "punishment": "I don't know when Jiang Qiyun will be back."

The little boy pouted and said, “For one or two days, the Emperor hasn’t been in the Hall of Heavenly Lord. Ziwu Great Emperor might be more anxious than anyone else. I think at most it won't exceed three days, at least… er, er!”

He had not finished speaking when he was stunned, for a hole opened in the layers of black clouds above Wuxi Mountain.

Thousands of auspicious rays of light, a thousand fairy blessings.

A line of cars sped past from there.e to forge long enough chains to block the underground rivers, so they would string the heads of the war dead onto iron chains and drop them into the 'lock the dragon', thus vying for war resources."“...
