Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Strange Attitude

"So it’s just a minor matter," the Judge nodded before speaking, "of course, there’s no problem then."

"I don’t know which ghost the lady is looking for?"

"Yi Huai," Zhong Niangyao spoke directly, "He just died a few days ago. I have some questions I want to ask him, and I hope the honorable Judge can make an exception."

"Yi Huai?"

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, the Judge’s expression changed slightly before he spoke again, "I’m afraid I’m unable to assist you in this matter, please forgive me."

The Judge’s response was not what Zhong Niangyao expected. She paused for a moment before saying, "Judge, I only want to ask Yi Huai a few questions. This doesn’t conflict with the rules of hell! Can’t you make an exception this time?"

His behavior was a bit odd, initially, he agreed. But upon hearing the name Yi Huai, he quickly changed his mind. It appeared that the problem was indeed with Yi Huai.

"What happened to Yi Huai’s soul?" Lu Yichen immediately asked, "There’s a problem with his soul, isn’t there?"

Hearing the cold words from Lu Yichen, the Judge instinctively shuddered, his entire demeanor becoming grave.

He did not dare conceal anything and quickly continued, "Indeed, Yi Huai’s soul has disappeared. We sent many ghost messengers to look for it, but there hasn’t been any clue."

"What? Disappeared?"

Shocked, Zhong Niangyao’s voice rose significantly, "How is that possible! Yi Huai just died not long ago; how could his soul have disappeared?"

After clearing his throat, the Judge continued, "This matter is indeed bizarre. A few days ago, our ghost messengers went to claim his soul right after Yi Huai died."

"Normally, when a person dies, their soul remains by their corpse for a while, waiting for hell’s ghost messengers to collect it and then enter hell to reincarnate. However, the ghost messengers did not find Yi Huai’s soul. What is more crucial, it’s like Yi Huai’s presence has completely vanished from this world."

"Completely disappeared?"

A faint glint passed through Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, then she smiled and nodded, "If that’s the case, then let it be. But still, thank you, Judge, for making this trip today."

Surprisingly, the sudden change in Zhong Niangyao’s attitude left the Judge feeling a bit taken aback, his shocked expression nearly impossible to conceal.

However, he quickly collected his thoughts and said, "I’m sorry, miss, I couldn’t be of help with today’s issue."

"It’s nothing, I was the one who troubled you." Zhong Niangyao smiled and shook her head before suddenly turning the conversation, "Speaking of which, Judge, you have been very polite to us! If I didn’t know better, I’d think we knew each other from before."

It might be more than just knowing each other, as the Judge’s demeanor was truly strange. Previously, she noticed that the Judge treated her and Lu Yichen with great respect, and this wasn’t something forced, but rather naturally shown, as if—

As if it were an ingrained habit.

A soul wasn’t found today, yet the Judge even apologized.

No matter how one looked at it, something was off!

"Miss, what are you talking about!" The Judge’s face remained unchanged, "How could we have known each other before!"

Though his face was expressionless, if one looked closely, they could see a flicker of panic in the depths of his eyes.

"Alright, our ghost messengers are diligently searching for Yi Huai’s ghost. If we find him, we will definitely bring him to explain to you," the Judge said with a smile, then continued, "If the lady encounters him in the Human World, please also lend us a hand."

"That’s natural." Zhong Niangyao nodded with a smile.

"Since there are no issues, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, the Judge hastily left. Even his footsteps carried a hint of panic, as if something terrifying was chasing him.

As the Judge’s figure disappeared from view, Zhong Niangyao turned her head to look at Lu Yichen, smiled brightly, and then asked, "Yichen, what do you think about what I just said?"

Slightly startled by Zhong Niangyao’s radiant smile, Lu Yichen was momentarily distracted, and upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, he reacted instinctively, "What are you talking about?"

"Yichen, what are you thinking?"

Zhong Niangyao reached out, grabbed Lu Yichen’s cheeks, and rubbed them before continuing, "Have you forgotten what I just said? Tell me, what were you thinking about? I’m right beside you, and yet your mind is wandering."

Feeling a slight pinch on his cheeks, Lu Yichen found it amusing. He didn’t resist and let Zhong Niangyao play with his cheeks, his eyes filled with affectionate indulgence, "What else can I think about besides you!"

Zhong Niangyao’s cheeks flushed with a burst of heat, but she quickly recovered and pouted, "Yichen, I find that you’ve become better at sweet talking!"

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows, then grasped Zhong Niangyao’s hands that were still causing mischief on his face, "Then do you like this side of me?"

"Of course, I like it." Zhong Niangyao smiled warmly, "No woman dislikes hearing sweet nothings. However, this way of talking really doesn’t suit your personality!"

"As long as you like it, I can try to change," Lu Yichen chuckled, "In the future, I will say even more sweet nothings to you."

Zhong Niangyao shook her head with a chuckle, "You just need to be yourself; you don’t need to change anything for me. I think the original you is already great!"

Lu Yichen smiled but did not dwell on the subject. However, what he truly thought, only he knew.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore." Zhong Niangyao shook her head and continued, "What I just mentioned was the Judge’s attitude, don’t you think it was really strange?"

"It’s not just him, but also Black and White Impermanence. Sometimes, I feel their attitude is strange, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. However, they do seem... um... respectful when facing us."

"Really?" Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow, "Maybe you’re just overthinking it!"
