Chapter 216 - 120: Three-Way Scramble—Even Ghosts Want to Join the Player Lottery?
All those undergoing reincarnation can still experience that indescribable bowl of thick soup.
In the office atop the main building, a graceful woman with an elegant demeanor downed the "green tea" in her cup in one gulp with her delicate hands.
Upon closer inspection, the bottom of the emptied cup held about a spoonful of muddy residue.
This is one of the main ingredients of Ancient Meng Po Soup — Soul Cleansing Soil.
To put it plainly, this is the sediment accumulated over years at the bottom of the Wangchuan River.
By adding the Great Dream Rhododendron growing on the opposite bank of the Wangchuan River into the Soul Cleansing Soil, and refining it with other auxiliary materials, the original Meng Po Soup is formed.
With the advancement of the times, the ghost souls in the Underworld have increased significantly.
To meet the ever-growing demand, the recipe for Meng Po Soup has undergone several improvements and has finally reached the stage where it can be mass-produced.
No longer does Meng Po need to toil day and night, cooking and stewing personally.
"All Laws Connect to God? Pure Body Cultivator? This kid... truly interesting."
Watching Lu Wenwu’s process of making egg-filled pancakes, Meng Po revealed a slight smile.
"Meng Yong."
"My lady."
A graceful young girl appeared out of thin air in the room, dressed in a dark palace gown embroidered with gold patterns, she elegantly approached Meng Po’s desk and performed an ancient feminine salute.
"Go to the Ghost Power Resources Department and Underworld Guarantee Division in the central Underworld. There’s one called... Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God in this year’s Underworld examination. Transfer his records to our Food Bureau."
"My lady, it’s the Underworld civil servants and archives, not ghost messengers and records," Meng Yong performed another salute and earnestly said, "Moreover, this year’s Underworld exam has just ended, the results haven’t come out yet, it’s against the rules."
"It’s all the same, understand the spirit." Meng Po impatiently waved her hand, "That bunch are not here now, I’m the only Yin Spirit left to watch over the house in the Underworld, what do rules matter? Adjust it, say I’m asking personally."
"My lady..."
"Hmm?"
"...Yes, this servant will proceed right away."
"That’s more like it."
Seeing Meng Yong disappear as a breeze, Meng Po revealed a satisfied smile and continued to cheerfully watch Lu Wenwu’s live stream of selling egg-filled pancakes.
She certainly wasn’t using the Underworld’s broadcasting equipment.
It was her unbelievably powerful Soul Power!
As one of the oldest Yin Spirits in the Underworld, although she does not excel in combat, her power remains frighteningly strong.
Soon, Meng Yong returned as a breeze, an obvious trace of dilemma on her fair face.
Meng Po glanced at her: "What’s the problem?"
"Yes, my lady." Meng Yong nodded, "The head of the Ghost Power Resources Department clearly rejected your request to transfer records, simply gathering the examination officers to prioritize reviewing Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God’s exam."
"Didn’t you say I requested it?"
Meng Po was taken aback, seemingly surprised that the other party wouldn’t respect her wishes.
Meng Yong said: "I did, but still refused, the other party’s attitude is very strong."
Meng Po sat up straight, slightly frowning: "What’s the reason? Who instructed that kid? He wouldn’t have the boldness to defy my wishes on his own."
"It’s the King of Reincarnation and King Yama."
Meng Yong calmly replied.
"After Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God’s arrival, King Qin Guang initiated a special procedure, the Ten Hall Yama jointly reviewed him, during the Karma Scale weighing, his karmic force was boundless, merit infinite, arousing the interest of the Tenth Hall Reincarnation King."
The King of Reincarnation believes Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God can be forged into a good blade, initially planning to promote him to the Ghost Gate Security Bureau for intense training, but he unexpectedly possessed a Netherworld Pardon Order, finished the hell judgment early, and even participated in the Underworld civil servant exam."
"But the lady can rest assured, aside from this servant, the Yin General dispatched by the Reincarnation King was also rejected by the head of the Ghost Power Resources Department, failing to transfer his records ahead to the Ghost Gate Security Bureau."
"Netherworld Pardon Order?"
Meng Po’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
Then, as if realizing something, her expression quickly returned to calm.
"I see, you might be talking about those little trinkets Lao Hei made? That makes sense, the youngsters downstairs are inexperienced, mistaking them is not surprising."
Meng Yong shook her head: "This servant doesn’t know, wouldn’t dare to presume."
"You, you’re too honest, your every move is more rigid than this old woman’s, really..." Meng Po sighed, "Tell me, what did that black-faced guy confess?"
Meng Yong honestly said: "King Yama intends to have the Invincible Dragon God enter Emperor Zhong Kui’s Demon Suppression Bureau, but it’s just an intention. King Yama said, he is a person with very unique thoughts, forcing arrangements is undesirable, it still depends on his own choice."
"For precisely this reason, King Yama asked me and the ghost general to respectively inform you and the Reincarnation King, not to interfere in Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God’s decision, let him decide his own departure."
"What if I refuse?" Meng Po suddenly asked.
Meng Yong replied once more: "King Yama said, if you must do so, then he might return in person. Your heart is too kind, some matters are not suitable for you, otherwise, at the time it wouldn’t have been unanimously decided to let you stay at home."
What King Yama refers to, is naturally not the simple issue of transferring a record and arranging a ghost messenger.
Listening, Meng Po immediately furrowed her brows: "Alright! Alright! The world has changed, gods’ hearts are no longer as they were! Now this old black face dares to threaten this old lady?"
"Meng Po, you’ve spoken heavily, your hardworking achievements are immense, you have made indelible contributions to the Underworld’s development, how dare I commit such deeds?"
