Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Extremely Wicked Heart

This time, the feigned grievances had turned into real ones.

Mianmian’s eyes brimmed with tears, and her little legs struggled ceaselessly: "Put me down, put me down, Mianmian can walk by herself!"

When she found that struggling was useless, she even started hitting Judge Zhong Kui with her small fists.

As if he hadn’t heard, Judge Zhong Kui turned a corner and made his way to Cui Yu’s residence.

Cui Yu was preparing for the trial of a male offender, reviewing the case file, when he looked up at the noise and saw his colleague had brought Little Auntie Mianmian in under his arm, immediately frowning: "Brother Zhong, this isn’t appropriate. Put her down quickly."

Judge Zhong Kui raised an eyebrow: "What’s so inappropriate about it, aren’t children meant to be played with?"

Cui Yu: ...

This guy, what on earth is he talking about!

He rescued Mianmian from Judge Zhong Kui’s grip, made sure she wasn’t harmed by the Underworld’s Yin Qi, and then he let down his guard. He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Mianmian felt aggrieved and regretful, almost turning green with remorse.

If only she had known that Uncle Zhong was so unreliable, she would have fought with him first before attempting to tattletale.

However, upon seeing Cui Yu and remembering she was on an important task, Mianmian, the hard-working Little Bun, untied the Soul-hooking Rope and restored the ghosts to their original forms: "Uncle Cui, I caught all those ghosts. I accidentally caught a few extra, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Cui Yu, seeing the ghosts that Mianmian had brought, took out the Book of Life and Death.

As the book lay open in front of the ghosts, its pages turned automatically, displaying the names of these souls. True to what Mianmian had said, among these ghosts were not only the several who had been on the run for a long time, but also a few whose capture had originally been entrusted to the ordinary Ghost Envoys.

"No problem. These people have committed numerous evil deeds. It is our duty to shorten their lives."

With a stroke of his vermilion pen, Cui Yu ensured that these individuals no longer had a chance to return to life.

Looking at Liao Zhe next, he raised an eyebrow and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"A Snake Demon?"

Mianmian nodded: "Yep, a Snake Demon. There was an even bigger and badder one, but it was struck to ashes by a thunderbolt from Heavenly Grandpa."

When Cui Yu heard Mianmian mention a larger one, he thought about it and then said a name: "Zhang Ruoruo?"

Judge Zhong Kui slapped his thigh and exclaimed loudly: "The cultivator Zhang Ruoruo?! I remember that Snake Demon man tied to her by karma and destiny. His name was Liao Yue? I even chased him for a while, but then he vanished without a trace, either protected or perhaps he encountered some fortuitous event."

years ago, there were no related restrictions in the mortal world, so if some particularly vile Demon appeared, Judge Zhong Kui could find time to catch it.

Now, however, they of the Underworld could not freely enter and leave as they wished.

"He was protected by Green," Mianmian answered Judge Zhong Kui’s doubt, "so he ended up killing a lot of people, but he’s dead now, no need to worry about him."

Little Bun, while talking, noticed a chair nearby and tried to clamber up slowly.

The chairs in the Underworld were made to fit adults, and for Mianmian, a little child with little arms and short legs, getting up there normally was quite difficult.

Seeing her struggle, Judge Zhong Kui stroked his beard and laughed: "You little rascal, good at playing the weakling. You can jump seven feet high when hitting people but turn slow as molasses when sitting in a chair, what’s the meaning of this?"

Mianmian, her face reddening at Judge Zhong Kui’s words, settled down on the chair and pouted: "Mommy said, in front of handsome men, you have to appear more delicate. Ugly ones don’t matter, they’re not easy on the eyes."

Judge Zhong Kui was so taken aback by her answer that he almost pulled off his own beard.

What did she mean by acting delicate in front of handsome men? She certainly hadn’t acted delicate in front of him; wasn’t that basically saying he was ugly?

Mianmian noticed something amiss with Judge Zhong Kui’s expression, patted the empty space on the chair, and opened her arms toward Cui Yu: "Uncle Cui, hug hug, Mianmian missed you."

Cui Yu was suppressing a smile, and upon hearing Mianmian’s request for a hug, he walked over to the chair, picked up Mianmian, and sat down with her on his knees.

"Since you’re here in the Underworld, how about Uncle Cui gives you a tour? We can also see who upset our Little Auntie, and Uncle Cui will help you get back at them."

Cui Jue’s words made Mianmian beam with joy, and she planted a kiss on Cui Yu’s face: "Okay, let’s go find those two baddies."

But she was also worried that Liao Zhe would run away, so she pointed at him: "This guy instigated trouble, trying to make Mianmian fight with others, and then seize the chance to escape; his heart is wickedly bad."

Cui Yu chuckled: "Don’t worry, once they’re in the Underworld, there’s no escape."

He called over two Yin Soldiers, ordered that the evil spirits and Liao Zhe be bound up straightaway, and proceeded to walk out with them in tow.

No one dared to treat lightly the individuals Judge Cui personally said should be locked up; they were given the utmost attention and prepared for interrogation.

And when Cui Yu said he would take Mianmian on a tour, he really meant it. He showed her around the various buildings in the Underworld and conveniently explained the judgement process.

"The other two judges are currently reviewing the case of an evil ghost from 40 years ago who committed the crime of preying on others," he said.

Upon hearing this, Mianmian was surprised, "Why is it so slow?"

Cui Yu sighed, "We’re also troubled by this. Even though we keep adding new staff to the Underworld, the effect is minimal."

The main issue is that the authority still lies with King Yama of the Ten Halls, and any change would need the approval of our superior officers. They too are frustrated by the slow operations of the Underworld and find it very difficult to bring about change.

Mianmian had actually begun to understand a little why Cui Yu was telling her all this.

Uncle Cui probably really wanted her to solve the Underworld’s problems, but she genuinely couldn’t think of any good solutions.

With that thought, Mianmian decided that when she returned, she would discuss it with her nephews.

Three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang; she had so many nephews, quite a few Zhuge Liangs among them. Surely they would quickly come up with a solution!

Seeing Mianmian deep in thought, Cui Yu took the opportunity to ask the ghost civil servant beside him what had happened earlier. Judge Zhong Kui also added a few words, and Cui Yu made a rare appearance in the front hall of Yama Hall.

Without waiting for him to speak, the general had already singled out the two Yin Soldiers who demanded tolls.

"These two have abused their power for personal gain. I have already decided on their punishment and would like Judge Cui to review it," he said.

He went on to explain the dismissal and punishment to be meted out, followed by sending them off to Fengdu City to await reincarnation. This waiting for reincarnation was indeed waiting for reincarnation.

Ghosts were numerous, and reincarnation resources limited; it was really difficult.

Cui Yu looked at Mianmian, "As for those who blocked your way, this was for the sake of the Underworld’s safety. They’ve been fined their salary, a small penalty for a greater warning."

Mianmian, seeing the Yin Soldiers still grinding their teeth in pain, laughed and said, "That’s enough, let Mianmian take back the True Fire."

She struggled to get down, but Cui Yu wouldn’t let her.

The stern-faced Judge in the red robe carried the cute Little Bun around the Yin Soldiers, watching as Mianmian relieved their pain.

After this, all the Yin Soldiers became truly obedient.

Judge Cui personally carried her over to show support, and behind him was Judge Zhong Kui keeping watch. No one could afford to mess with this little darling.

After Mianmian withdrew the fire, Cui Yu casually asked like making conversation, "That flame of yours looks like the Samadhi True Fire, quite formidable."

"Hehe." Mianmian summoned a flame in her little hand, "It is the Samadhi True Fire."

Seeing the burning flame, she suddenly thought of Chu Ye’s situation and asked, "Uncle Cui, do you know where the Fire Spirit is? Mianmian has a good friend who was supposed to have the fate of a good person, but his fate was altered by someone this lifetime, and he is lacking fire, needing a Fire Spirit."

A flicker crossed Cui Yu’s eyes.

It was rare to find a ten-lifetime good person; how could the Underworld not be aware?

But these things, while they as Underworld gods didn’t need to sleep or undergo reincarnation, couldn’t be shared or revealed recklessly, as not everyone was a favored child of the Heavenly Dao.

"The Vermilion Bird God has been in slumber for a long time," Cui Yu said with a tone of regret, "However, I heard that a Fire Spirit is treasured by the Er Lang God. If Little Auntie can find Er Lang God, she might be able to find the Fire Spirit."

Mianmian immediately pressed on, "Where can I find Er Lang God then? Is he sleeping or has he reincarnated?"

Cui Yu shook his head with a smile, "How would a person from the Underworld know about the affairs of a celestial being? Little Auntie, you have been down here for quite a while, it’s better to return sooner. Next time you want to visit, write to me first."

With that said, Cui Yu let go of his hold and chanted a spell.

Mianmian felt disoriented for a moment, and when she came to, she heard her great-nephew and his wife talking, "What on earth happened to our little aunt? She actually slept for five days."

"Old Seven said she went down to play. Don’t tell me one of those below saw how cute our little aunt is and decided to keep her?"

The two elders spoke anxiously.

"No, no!" Mianmian hadn’t even opened her eyes yet but hastened to reassure her younger relatives, "Mianmian is back."

She opened her eyes and smiled at Elder Su and Old Lady Su.

The two elders were overjoyed and hurriedly sent for the servants to call the sons back home.

There were seven children in the Su Family, and four were at home that day. The third son was a doctor who had surgery to perform today, and the second said he had taken on a big order and was busy drawing. He would come to see Little Auntie in a few days with his two children.

"Aren’t you filming the variety show anymore?" Mianmian asked curiously as she noticed she was in a room of the Su Family.
