Chapter 203: Netherworld (4)
“Let’s go.”
Chu Sihan held Lu Sheng’s shoulder and walked past the female ghosts.
“This lady is actually a human. However, she is not completely human.”
A female ghost crossed her arms and looked at Lu Sheng’s back as she spoke softly.
“Sister Ronger, what do you mean?”
The female ghost who wanted to hold Chu Sihan’s arm asked curiously.
The female ghost called Ronger muttered, “She should be considered a half-immortal.”
“Half-immortal?”
The female ghosts were enlightened. “No wonder she’s not afraid of us.”
“Oh, why do you care so much?” One of them walked forward with her hips swaying. She smiled and said, “It’s rare for His Highness to bring a lady back. We should be happy.”
“Sister Lianye is right.” Ronger nodded. “This proves that His Highness likes women and not men.”
The female ghosts nodded in realization.
“Oh, that’s enough.” Lianye adjusted her new clothes and smiled. “Aren’t we going to play mahjong? Let’s go.”
The female ghosts remembered this and were no longer interested in Chu Sihan, whom they had not seen for a long time. They walked towards the mahjong house.
Along the way, Lu Sheng encountered more strange ghosts, both male and female.
For example, this male ghost called ‘Yun Guagua’ was currently hugging Chu Sihan’s thigh and ignoring his ice-like gaze as he sobbed.
“Your Highness, you’re finally back. You have no idea how the ghosts in the palace bullied me during the twenty years you were gone.”
“Get up first.” Chu Sihan held his head, feeling a headache.
“Your Highness, you have to stand up for me!”
Chu Sihan resisted the urge to kick him and said through gritted teeth, “If you don’t get up, I’ll throw you into the River of Forgetfulness.”
Lu Sheng wanted to laugh when he heard this. Chu Sihan had used this sentence to scare those ghosts all the way here.
Not to mention, it worked every time.
As expected, this Yun Guagua immediately stopped crying. He hurriedly got up from the ground and squeezed out a twisted smile that was uglier than crying. “Your Highness… Your subordinate really misses you. Please don’t throw me into the River of Forgetfulness!”
Chu Sihan glanced at him expressionlessly and said lightly, “Do what you have to do. Don’t just stand here.”
“Yes, yes!”
Yun Guagua laughed dryly and nodded. “Sister Lianye asked me to play mahjong with her. If I go any later, there won’t be any seats left.”
With that, he took two steps forward, then back.
“Eh—”
He sized Lu Sheng up and blinked. “Isn’t this a human?”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “You have a problem with that?”
“No, no, no!” Yun Guagua shook his head repeatedly. “I absolutely have no objections!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he grinned at Lu Sheng before fleeing swiftly.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “The people and things in your Netherworld are all very interesting!”
Chu Sihan sighed helplessly. “It’s all because of my father. All of them have no rules and only know how to gamble.”
Lu Sheng chuckled. She came in a hurry last time and returned to the human world after seeing the Bridge of Helplessness and River of Forgetfulness.
It was only today that she realized how interesting the Netherworld was.
Chu Sihan sighed and said in a low voice, “Let’s go to the Judgment Hall.”
Lu Sheng nodded.
Fortunately, they met normal ghosts along the way. No one stopped Chu Sihan and started to cry and complain.
“Lord, shouldn’t we go in and pay our respects to your father?”
When they pa.s.sed Yanluo Hall, Lu Sheng spoke softly.
