Chapter 276: Chapter 275: The Ghost Festival is Coming Soon

Mianmian saw Ding Song’s expression suddenly become even more frightened, as well as somewhat puzzled.

However, she quickly stopped paying attention to Ding Song and listened closely to the fierce ghost’s words instead.

"I heard from my friend that they plan to expand their believers, not just mortals, but ghosts as well," the fierce ghost stammered, recounting all the information he knew.

The day after tomorrow is the Ghosts Festival, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. According to the rules, the Ghost Gate of the Underworld must be opened, allowing all ghosts to come to the world of the living. Some ghosts come out to visit their relatives, while others are wrapped in resentment, returning to the world of the living solely to seek revenge on their enemies, including those fierce ghosts that are being punished in the eighteen levels of Hell.

Even when ghosts come to the mortal realm, they must abide by rules; they can’t be seen by their relatives. Once discovered by relatives, they will be taken back to the Underworld by a Ghost Envoy. The same goes for fierce ghosts already suffering in Hell – if they cause mayhem arbitrarily, they will be punished by the shackles on their bodies.

After the fifteenth day of the seventh month, if the ghosts do not return to the Underworld at the last moment, they will be incinerated into ash by the sun’s rays on the sixteenth.

Some fierce ghosts, driven mad by too much punishment, deliberately choose not to return on that day, wishing to die under the sun’s light.

On this day, even ghost cultivators with cultivation bases that wander in the mortal realm will hide, fearing accidental injury by the sun.

That’s the case with ghosts, and for people, starting from the night of the fourteenth of July, they should not stay outside too late. It’s one thing for the ghosts from the Underworld to come to the world of the living, but on the other hand, Yin Qi gathers in advance, and stray ghosts who have evaded capture by Ghost Envoys become more active in the mortal realm.

Ordinary people out in the middle of the night can easily encounter bad incidents during these days, and those who don’t understand the ways of the world will just say they’re unlucky, not knowing they’ve been entangled by a ghost.

The New Divine Sect’s plan is to recruit a group of ghosts into their sect as members when the Ghost Gate is wide open.

These ghosts also serve another purpose; starting next month, they are to frighten mortals, creating ghost-catching achievements for sect members and promoting the prowess of their sect leader, Daoist Master Fen Tian, so that ordinary people will worship him.

After hearing the fierce ghost’s information, Mianmian rubbed her bald little head.

Developing both fierce ghost and mortal believers to worship Fen Tian, wasn’t that exactly what she wanted?

Seeing Mianmian remaining silent, the fierce ghost asked tentatively, "This information, how many years of my sentence can it reduce?"

Mianmian looked at Cui Yu, "What do you say, Uncle Cui?"

Cui Yu stood with his hands behind his back, the expression on his pale face inscrutable, "50 years then. Recruiting some ghosts to scare people isn’t really a big deal."

Cui Yu said this casually, but in fact, he felt that the ghost before him surely had more information; he wanted to see if he could bluff it out of him.

Indeed, upon hearing the judge’s words, the fierce ghost clenched his teeth, "There’s another matter I’ll tell you about. I heard they plan to start with children and the elderly, to diminish the public’s affection for Little Auntie. However, I don’t know the specifics. You might want to pay attention to it; children and elderly are fragile and can be easily killed. This information should be worth an additional hundred years off, right? I don’t have any other information. Otherwise, let me go undercover again; my brother is quite good at gathering intelligence."

Having said that, the fierce ghost looked at Cui Yu with a pleading gaze, hoping to have some years of punishment reduced.

Cui Yu noticed that the fierce ghost truly had no more information and smiled faintly, "This information is worth a hundred years off. Let’s just sentence you to 650 years. In a few days, when the Ghost Gate is wide open, if you can help the Underworld capture some of the ghosts from the New Divine Sect, we can reduce your sentence further."

In reality, the sentence wouldn’t have been this long, or rather, it was not judged this way. But these were the rules set by the Underworld, how would the fierce ghost know?

Anyway, hearing that his time in Hell might be reduced made the fierce ghost quite happy; he had even started counting on his fingers, "Old Zhang, Old Li, Old Yang, a few brothers come down and keep me company, that should be enough to cut a few hundred years, right?"

Being a fierce ghost without any morals, those he thought of capturing to reduce his sentence turned out to be his own brothers.

Cui Yu gestured with his hand, summoning the Yin Soldier following behind him, asking him to take this fierce ghost away and making a special mark to avoid any mistakes. The Ghost Envoys present were all holding souls; to falsify one could be troublesome.

The fierce ghost knew it was about to be taken away and bid farewell to Mianmian and Cui Yu while nodding and bowing excessively, acting like a total sycophant.

Cui Yu ignored the fierce ghost and crouched down to pick up Mianmian with one hand, "Let’s go discuss in Uncle Cui’s study room."

Mianmian sat on Cui Yu’s sturdy arm and nodded obediently and cleverly, "Okay~"

With one hand holding Ding Song’s clothes, Cui Yu used magic and transported directly to the study room.

Mianmian sat quietly in the chair, listening to Cui Yu and Ding Song’s conversation.

Little Bun didn’t understand these matters of management, but from Cui Yu’s words, she still picked up some information. Uncle Cui had asked many questions while chatting with her older cousin earlier, and it seemed like he now knew a lot about the mortal world, no longer as ignorant as before.

She lay on the table with her little hands propping up her chin, gazing at Cui Yu and blinking.

Uncle Cui must have secretly found someone to learn from. Hehe! Mom said people who love to study are the best, and although Uncle Cui started learning a bit late, it was still not too late.

Cui Yu noticed Little Bun blinking her big eyes at him from the corner of his eye, her chubby cheeks squeezed into an additional roll of flesh by her little chubby hands, extremely cute.

A smile formed on his lips, "If Mianmian is tired, you can go back to sleep first, I’ll return his soul to the mortal world in a few days."

Mianmian was puzzled, "How did Uncle Cui know that Mianmian is tired? Mianmian’s soul is out of her body now."

Cui Yu looked at the dark circles under Mianmian’s eyes and couldn’t help but chuckle, "You’ll know once you go back."

Little Bun still didn’t realize she had panda eyes.

With this soul out-of-body magic, whatever happens to the body, the soul follows suit. Little Bun’s soul was still conscious, which couldn’t make up for the lack of sleep, and that was indeed painful for a three-year-old little one.

"Go back, Ding Song is here with me; there won’t be any trouble," Cui Yu said gently once more.

Mianmian glanced at Ding Song, hopped off the chair, and turned to instruct him seriously, "Then Ding Song, you stay here with Uncle Cui, okay? If you see a man with a beard, stay away from him, he’s very violent, and if he punches you, Mianmian won’t be able to see you anymore."

Little Bun’s words, filled with elder care and affection, inadvertently sent chills down Ding Song’s spine.

Was Little Auntie suggesting that such a man could punch him out of existence?

"I’m going now, you must remember what Mianmian said, okay?"

Mianmian patted Ding Song on the knee, dispelled her soul out-of-body magic, and returned to her body.

She was indeed very sleepy and fell asleep with a snore as soon as she flipped over after returning to her body.

The Su Family brothers, who were guarding the room, saw Mianmian turn over to sleep and one by one yawned and stepped out the door.

They had been watching over Little Auntie for fear of her running into any trouble during her departure; now that it was 3 a.m., it was time for them to sleep as well.

Early the next morning, as soon as Mianmian opened her eyes and saw that Chu Ye was awake, she took his hand and led him towards the mirror.

Standing in front of the mirror, she pulled at her face fiercely, "Big brother, Uncle Cui said Mianmian looked very sleepy, but Mianmian feels fine, nothing seems wrong."
