Capítulo 732: Chapter 716: You Robbed the Underworld?

Qin Liuxi happily looked at the Beiming Heavenly Pearl wrapped around her wrist, then glanced at the Vajra Hammer in her right hand, and pressed the Soul-devouring Mirror in her arms, her eyes smiling into crescents.

This trip was not in vain.

“You are really too kind,” Qin Liuxi said with a beaming smile. “When I return to the Daoist Temple, I will burn millions of gold ingots for you, and host a grand feast for you.”

Ksitigarbha smiled lightly and said, “Just remember, all beings suffer, and doing good deeds is your priority.”

“Oh,” Qin Liuxi obediently waved her hand, “then I’m leaving now.”

Ksitigarbha nodded with a smile.

Qin Liuxi bowed to them, turned around, and left. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a pillar charred black from burning and asked, “Bodhisattva, has your hall been burned by fire? Which unscrupulous ghost dared to set fire here?”

Ksitigarbha: “…”

Emperor Fengdu sneered, should I remind you that you are scolding yourself?

Qin Liuxi shook her head, “It looks quite old, not repaired for so many years. It seems the Underworld is also somewhat poor. I’ll burn some gold foil for you later and at least send some Ghost Messengers to patch it up. Well, I will take my leave now.”

After she left, both of them sighed in relief, glad that she was finally gone.

Outside, the Judge looked at the items in Qin Liuxi’s hands with awe. It’s just like you to even snatch the Emperor’s Heavenly Pearl.

Even though this Heavenly Pearl is not compared to the Emperor’s Life and Death Seal and Zen Staff, it was a magic treasure that he wore all the time. When the beads moved, it was like the Sanskrit Mantra emanating, severely harming yin souls and scattering their spirits if struck by the Heavenly Pearl.

But most importantly, seeing the Heavenly Pearl was as if seeing the Great Emperor. Holding this Heavenly Pearl, she could summon Ghost Soldiers.

She was literally using the Heavenly Pearl as a commanding token!

Qin Liuxi said with a smile, “Both the Emperor and the Bodhisattva are too polite, insisting on bestowing it to me, refusing was not an option.”

The Judge chuckled awkwardly, daring to say such a thing.

Suddenly, Qin Liuxi remembered something, “Right, since you are here, help me check Quan Jing’s lifespan.”

Judge: “?”

Qin Liuxi fondly caressed the Heavenly Pearl.

The Judge took out the Judge’s Pen, opened the Book of Life and Death, and wrote down Quan Jing’s name. His Life Book appeared in mid-air.

On seeing it, Qin Liuxi’s smile faded.

Died in Da Feng Anping year 23, May 25.

Qin Liuxi calculated with her fingers. Only less than fifteen days left, how could this happen?

Her demanding gaze turned towards the Judge.

“Sir, life and death are predestined. His fate lies in you, but it’s not that you should defy the heavens to change his fate, but to follow the heavenly decree,” the Judge said with a pained face, hoping she wouldn’t make him alter the lifespan, as that would be too much to bear.

Qin Liuxi said, “I won’t make it difficult for you. I’m leaving.”

She moved swiftly, rushing out. She needed to go back and see where the problem was, why was there so little time left, wondering if Gu Po could refine the Golden Silkworm Gu Mother in such a short time?

The Judge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly heard Emperor Fengdu’s voice, turning around and returning to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall.

Emperor Fengdu asked, “What did she ask about?”

The Judge, not daring to conceal anything, recounted everything in detail.

Emperor Fengdu snorted: At least she restrained herself, did not forcibly make the Judge extend a life.

Suddenly Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, “Look up Chi Yuan’s Life Book.”

The Judge hesitated, then summoned Master Chi Yuan’s Life Book, and the three looked at his year of death, falling into silence.

“Your Majesty, do you think we should…” the Judge’s voice trembled.

Quan Jing might be unaffected, but if she saw her master’s, she might just overturn the Underworld.

Emperor Fengdu said, “Life and death are predestined. If anyone could tamper with the Book of Life and Death, wouldn’t the path of reincarnation be in chaos?”

“Yes.”

Emperor Fengdu continued, “Go and ask King Qinguang to fortify the Ghost Gate. Those mortal Heavenly Masters come and go as if no one’s land was their own, what does this look like?”

The Judge: “…”

That statement was obviously about the one who just left and meant to guard against her.

The Judge went down to spread the word.

Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva sighed to Emperor Fengdu, “Doing good deeds and accumulating merit might soften her heart, but if her master is no longer there I fear… it’s hard to say whether being sentimental or heartless is better.”

Emperor Fengdu replied gravely, “The cycle of life and death is normal; what mortal lives for thousands of years? She is a mortal and should understand this.”

Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva lightly laughed, “I hope you can maintain this detachment in the future.”

Emperor Fengdu’s head buzzed as he looked at the central pillar and stuttered, “What if we reserve a City God position? He has raised this dead child with merit, and he also has accrued merit.”

Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva said calmly, “Appointing officials is the duty of the Great Emperor. But more pressing than this is the situation with Si Luo. I think she guessed right; to break the rules, one must become a Buddha or a god.”

Emperor Fengdu frowned, “Becoming a god, how easy is that?”

“Don’t forget, he is the reincarnation of Buddha’s son who has practiced the Buddhist Path and Daoist cultivation once in ten thousand years,” the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva sighed. Such a reincarnation should be a blessing in the human world, but unfortunately took a dark path.

A thought can turn one into a Buddha or a demon, truly no mistake.

Emperor Fengdu and Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva moved to the deeper parts of Nine Netherworld, looking at the golden swastika characters etched by Si Luo with her will, both remaining silent for a long time.

One is the reincarnation of Buddha’s son turned into an Evil Buddha, the other is…

Who will win and who will lose?

Qin Liuxi returned to the human world, sneezed, rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, performed a spell to cleanse the yin energy, and touched the Heavenly Pearl wrapped around her wrist, satisfiedly smiling.

But the smile soon faded, as she carefully reflected on her visit to the Underworld. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

She was sure that both Emperor Fengdu and Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva were very familiar with her and knew her origins; otherwise, they wouldn’t have indulged her audacity or given her several magic treasures for free. Something fishy was going on here; could it be that they wanted her to be cannon fodder, to be sacrificed for Si Luo later?

Hmm, losing her life meant being sacrificed.

Emperor Fengdu: Could it not be you shamelessly pilfered them?

Hei Sha leaped out from Wanhuai Forest, saw Qin Liuxi’s sleazy smile, and looked at the pearl in her hand, exclaiming, “Did you rob the Underworld?”

That pearl, looking very extraordinary, even terrified him a bit.

Qin Liuxi glared at him, “Can’t you speak properly? What robbery? I got it with my skills.”

Hei Sha: By the skills of shamelessness, or did you actually steal it?

Qin Liuxi took out the Qiankun Soul-devouring Mirror, uttered a spell, and shone it on Hei Sha. Immediately, ripples appeared in the mirror.

“Is this your true form as a Mountain Spirit?” Qin Liuxi exclaimed in surprise as she looked into the mirror.

Hei Sha peeked into the mirror. Inside, a round, transparent orb with some reddish veins and a rod-like structure on top resembling a lightning rod.

He cried out, what is this ghost?

Qin Liuxi laughed heartily as she evaded his grabbing hand. So, he was actually Antenna Baby, no wonder he wanted to be the fearsome Black Bear Demon — his real form was too cute, utterly lacking any deterrent power!
