In the dark Netherworld Palace, Mingri lay sideways on the couch, the black and gold Netherworld God Robe spread open, revealing a smooth and exquisite chest akin to marble, with a few strands of slightly wild long hair tantalizingly falling upon it.

A scene of beauty, half-hidden.

Damn meat-eater, why is he wearing something so skimpy for no reason!

"Uh," Bo Bo, whose fleece was originally pink, turned a fiery red upon witnessing this scene.

It howled dryly, blocking the eyes of the black beans with its two meat wings, but if one looked closely, they would find this rascal sneaking a few more glances.

"Weak Egg, did you change your mind and want to come over to seek refuge with me?" Mingri said lazily, his long and narrow eyes filled with a mischievous glint.

He thought that after Bo Bo got the Netherworld Jade this time, it would take another few hundred or thousand years before reaching out to him again.

Unexpectedly, this time, it didn’t take long for Weak Egg to come knocking, and Mingri’s brows were full of joy, though he still kept a cool face, looking cold and detached.

"Pah, Bo Bo can’t be bothered to seek you out. It’s the beloved master who wants to ask you a question; she wants to know why Empress Li was captured and brought to the Netherworld. Bo Bo saw her, Empress Li is so pretty, you’d instantly know she’s a good woman. Besides, with that delicate frame that looks ready to topple over in the wind, she doesn’t seem like a murderous madwoman," Based on Empress Li being the mother of the Kirin, and the Kirin is the beloved master’s already married husband, Bo Bo’s logic immediately branded Empress Li as a good person.

It secretly grumbled, blaming the Netherworld for not investigating thoroughly and arbitrarily capturing Empress Li.

"Weak Egg, you’re regressing as you live. Have you forgotten that the Netherworld is forbidden to privately disclose the past of any criminals or Yin Souls. The Netherworld Ghost King tried to use me to investigate this matter, but I refused the same way," Mingri raised an eyebrow, flatly rejecting Bo Bo’s inquiry.

"Cheapskate Mingri, forget it, Bo Bo never wants to see you again, farewell forever!" Bo Bo snorted, angrily tossing out the innocent Netherworld Jade.

The Netherworld Jade bounced briefly on the ground before zooming back to Bo Bo.

Bo Bo was furious to death, its heart deeply troubled, wondering how to complete its master’s task.

Bo Bo thought it over, and suddenly, a bright idea struck it.

When the ancient Netherworld Magic Array appeared, a massive Four-direction Netherworld Jiao showed up above Ghost Water Creek.

Ghost Water Creek is the domain of the Netherworld Ghost King, even the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao dares not trespass.

If not for the insistence of Bo Bo, it would never have come, even if the Netherworld Jiao’s bones had to be torn apart.

"Lord Bo Bo, what do you command this time?" The Four-direction Netherworld Jiao asked with a mournful face.

Heaven knows, last time it privately carried Bo Bo, its master, and the Fierce Beast to the Netherworld.

Thinking it would be unnoticed, little did it know, Lord Netherworld was already aware.

In anger, Lord Netherworld directly broke two bones of the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao; its abdomen still throbbed with faint pain.

"Jiao, what kind of tone is that? Are you feeling wronged to meet this world’s God?" Bo Bo sneered.

"Lord Bo Bo, Little Jiao dare not. Please ask, and Little Jiao will answer everything," the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao responded with determination.

"Don’t worry; this time, I’m not asking you to sneak anyone over; it’s just my master wants to inquire about a person. About twenty years ago, there was a very beautiful Yin Soul brought to the Netherworld. Her identity before death was Dazhou Empress. Do you have any recollection of this person?" Unable to gather information from Mingri, Bo Bo figured perhaps the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao would know something.

This time, Bo Bo was like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, managing to ask the right person.

Upon Bo Bo’s description, the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao immediately remembered.

Empress Li, such a woman, even the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao couldn’t forget her after seeing her.

"Lord Bo Bo, about this matter, Little Jiao has some impression, but that woman should already be imprisoned in the Demon Suppressing Stele, long turned to ash; she was a high-priority criminal indeed, immediately thrown into the Demon Suppressing Stele upon reaching West Wei Sect," The reason the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao remembered Empress Li was not only because of her astonishing beauty and noble status but also because it personally branded the punishment mark on her.

That was also the most severe punishment mark left by the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao serving as the Netherworld Envoy for thousands of years.

"The most severe? Hah! Four-direction Netherworld Jiao, are you senile? Are you saying her punishment mark was more severe than the Kirin’s?" Bo Bo was shocked.

"Yes. The punishment mark on that woman’s body was ’Ten Thousand,’ signifying she would bring death to ten thousand beings," The Four-direction Netherworld Jiao found it peculiar as it hadn’t sensed any aura of slaughter on Empress Li.

However, the charge stated in Lord Netherworld’s warrant could never be wrong.

"Strange, how could there be such a peculiar situation? Well, at least I gathered a bit of information; I should go back and tell the master," Bo Bo impatiently left the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao, about to find Yun Sheng.

By the time Bo Bo found Yun Sheng, Yun Sheng had just finished meditating.

Bo Bo relayed all the information gathered from Mingri and the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao to Yun Sheng.

Upon listening, Yun Sheng also pondered for a moment.

It seems Empress Li holds untold secrets.

"But there’s one thing Bo Bo must remind the master of; although Mingri is arrogant, he’s truly formidable. If he adjudged Empress Li as a high-priority criminal, it means she truly brought death to ’Ten Thousand’ beings." For once, Bo Bo spoke fairly about Mingri.

Even though it couldn’t understand how Empress Li looked like someone who had slaughtered ten thousand.

"This matter shall be put to an end for now. It appears Empress Li will live in the Netherworld in the future. Her past, the Netherworld Ghost King won’t pursue." Yun Sheng investigated Empress Li primarily to assist Ye Beiming.

Empress Li’s past doesn’t captivate her much. Besides, she thinks, even if Empress Li did wrong, in the past twenty years she’d lived like a lonely soul, which, truly, is sufficient punishment.

"Ghost King, don’t you agree?" As Yun Sheng spoke, her eyes twinkled, spiritedly announcing.

"Indeed, Little Girl, your words and deeds truly capture the heart of this Emperor," With an arrogant laugh, the Netherworld Ghost King descended like a Bat, a shadow flashing as he landed.
