Emperor's Soul (Seventeen)
"Nonsense!" Xiaoying finally couldn't help it and stamped her feet angrily. "People are wondering if you are okay now and if you are sad again!"
"Is that so?" Li Wenyu nodded, feeling that Xiaoying's expression was funny, so he deliberately teased: "This shows that you care about me. Usually, liking someone starts with caring."
"Sister Xuehu..." Xiaoying looked at Xuehu.
Xuehu smiled slightly. She was surprised that today was the first time that Xiaoying didn't use force on Li Wenyu, so she said softly: "Okay, now that Mr. Li is fine, it will be fine."
"Do you think anything will happen to me?" Li Wenyu looked at Xuehu and Xiaoying.
Xuehu asked softly: "Master Li, really..."
"Of course it's true. Although I'm very sad, I have to admit that it's just a dream, not real. It's like watching a movie. After the movie is over, I always have some emotions, but I can't live there forever. In this emotion." This is what Li Wenyu spent three days and three nights to figure out.
Hearing Li Wenyu's rebuttal, Xuehu felt relieved. After saying a few more irrelevant words, Xuehu asked a question: "Master Li, what are you going to do with that pot of emperor's daughter?"
"This...I haven't thought about it yet." Li Wenyu crossed his fingers on his chest and answered after thinking for a while.
Xuehu smiled slightly and said gently: "Can you leave it to me?"
"you?"
"Yes." Xue Hu nodded and replied: "Although Princess Changping's soul has disappeared, the Emperor's Flower is related to her. I want to take this pot of Emperor's Flower to the underworld and hand it over to the King of Hell to solve the case and prove the evil. It was not Princess Changping’s fault. I hope that the evil deeds done by the Emperor’s Soul during this period will not affect Princess Changping’s blessings in the next life.”
"Is this possible?"
"Of course you can, you idiot." Xiaoying finally seized the opportunity to despise Li Wenyu's ignorance.
Of course Li Wenyu was happy, so he said, "Then I'll move it down right away."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Xuehu smiled and watched Li Wenyu go upstairs.
After seeing Li Wenyu go upstairs, Xiaoying ran to Xuehu and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xuehu, is the King of Hell so easy to talk to?"
"Fool, of course I'm not the one to go."
"If you didn't go, why did you let me go?" Xiaoying pointed at herself, obviously in disbelief.
Snow Fox tapped the parrot's forehead with his hand, and replied with a smile: "You are not qualified to go, and you won't be driven out by the ghosts then."
"Who said that? No matter what they do, they won't drive me out." Xiao Ying pouted, thinking to herself, no matter what, she has been living on the other side for hundreds of years.
Xue Hu's smile froze. She knew that there was someone who would definitely do this. Although that person didn't say it or didn't care, in fact, she still cared about it in her heart. Thinking of herself, she couldn't help but lament the gap between herself and him. It was precisely because of this that she obeyed everything and became his maid willingly. Thousands of years have passed, and her identity as master and servant has not changed.
Just as Xue Hu was sighing, Li Wenyu came downstairs holding a pot of withered Emperor's Flower and placed the flower pot in front of Xue Hu.
"Beauty, I leave it to you."
"Yes." Xuehu stood up, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wrapped the flower pot, and disappeared in the living room in the blink of an eye.
The road to the underworld is filled with mist, as if it is deliberately designed to prevent the dead from finding their way back, and they can only keep moving forward. This road is so familiar to Snow Fox, so familiar that she can remember every tree on the road. He walked towards the underworld step by step, and when he entered the gate of hell, two ghosts greeted him warmly. After all, Xuehu was not one of those dead ghosts who had scattered their souls. As the maid of the ghost doctor Wangchuan, she was quite respected in the ghost world. . In response to the ghost's greetings, the snow fox smiled. After passing the ghost gate, he took the emperor's flower to the other shore. On the land on the other side, there was a stronger mist. The snow fox gently took the emperor's flower to the other side. Put it in front of Wangchuan Residence, and then left.
As soon as she left, a person appeared. Looking at Xuehu's back, Wangchuan seemed to be smiling, but there was nothing visible from his face. After hundreds of thousands of years of getting along, Xuehu's intelligence was reflected in Xiaoying's face. Above, Wangchuan knew that Xuehu could understand his own compassion. He was very comforted, so he reached out and picked up the Emperor's Flower and flew directly into the Palace of Hell. In the underworld, both ghosts and gods have to be moved away, with the exception of Wangchuan. In the Hall of the King of Hell, the King of Hell was not surprised at all when he saw Wangchuan's appearance. He was not angry but laughed.
"Sir, are you here again?"
"Is it possible that the King of Hell doesn't welcome you?" Wangchuan looked at the King of Hell with a smile in his eyes. He stepped forward and placed the Emperor's Flower in front of King Jing.
As soon as the King of Hell saw the emperor's daughter Hua, he guessed some of the reasons, so he asked directly: "Do you want to close the case?"
"Exactly."
"Sir, does he know that his son has broken the law and his father is guilty?" The King of Hell shook his head, and the bead curtain on his crown swayed.
Wangchuan knew what it meant. He knew the criminal laws of the underworld very well, but what he wanted to do must be done. Sometimes, he didn't mind taking some special ways, so he did not answer the King of Hell directly, but suggested: "We It seems like we haven’t played against each other for a long time, how about a game?”
"That's what I mean." The King of Hell laughed loudly. The time in the underworld is a bit boring for anyone. He, the King of Hell, is selfless when he is deciding right from wrong. There is no law that says he can be unkind.
Wangchuan nodded and walked into the back hall with the King of Hell. There were fruits and delicacies in the back hall, and the chess table was located in it. This time it was another fierce battle for several days and nights... When Wangchuan returned to the human world from the underworld, It was already seven days later, and no one except Xuehu knew where Wangchuan had returned from. Xuehu even kept it secret from the little parrot, so when the parrot chirped and asked why Wangchuan had taken so long to come back, Xuehu stepped aside.
Her action hid Xiaoying, but not Li Wenyu. Li Wenyu pulled Xuehu aside and asked in a low voice: "Do you know anything?"
"Why do you ask Mr. Li like this?" Xuehu looked at Li Wenyu with a smile.
Li Wenyu looked back at Wangchuan, and then whispered: "That Wangchuan has been missing for so long since he disappeared. When he came back, he didn't tell where he went or what he did. He put on a cool face. Are you not curious at all?"
"Why be curious?"
"This is what's strange about you. Xiaoying and I are both curious, but you are not curious. This proves that you must know, right?" Li Wenyu smiled and looked at Xuehu, of course he wanted Xuehu to reveal it.
Xuehu smiled and shook his head: "Young master Li, you are overthinking it. How could Xuehu know where your husband has gone? You need to know that your husband has always been alone. As maids, we are not qualified to ask."
"Don't be like this, beautiful lady, isn't your official answer too insincere? Think about it, I can help you solve the matter of the Emperor's Soul, right? For the sake of my kindness, just tell Let me do it." When Li Wenyu saw Xuehu, he didn't say anything and only stalked him.
Xuehu was a little overwhelmed by Li Wenyu's shamelessness. Seeing that the fire in the kitchen was not turned off, he took the opportunity to slip away. He didn't want to answer, so he said, "Mr. Li, it will be dinner soon, I will go and get busy first."
"Hey..." Li Wenyu stood there stupidly.
Over there, no matter what the little parrot asked, Wangchuan remained cold, said nothing, and was not angry at all. In his opinion, sometimes the noisy little parrot may not be a bad thing, at least it made him feel that there is no underworld. It's so lifeless, so it can't be said that it's just Snow Fox who is conniving. Even he, the master, is somewhat conniving towards the parrot, otherwise he wouldn't have developed the parrot's fearless personality.
Seeing such a scene, Li Wenyu smiled. Sometimes he really didn't dare to think that a person, a ghost doctor, and two goblins could live in peace and get along so well under the same roof. Although he does not think that all fairies in the world are good, he knows that at least Xuehu and Xiaoying have no ill intentions towards him. When he is injured or when he is in a low mood, Li Wenyu can tell that Xuehu and Xiaoying He cares about himself, so he plans to work harder to adjust his mentality. He will no longer treat Snow Fox and Xiao Ying as outsiders. They live under the same roof. He hopes that they will be a family in the future. Now, the first thing he has to do is go into the kitchen to help...
"Xuehu, let me help you!" Li Wenyu ran in excitedly, and within a second of entering the kitchen, he knocked over the plate in Xuehu's hand with a bang, and the food on the plate fell to the ground. The plate was also broken. He didn't know whether he would help or not, so he looked at Xuehu apologetically. "I did not do it on purpose…."
"Master Li, leave this to me." Xuehu smiled, she had no temper at all. If the food was spilled, she could cook it again. If the plate was broken, she could use magic to restore it. These are all very simple things. .
Li Wenyu looked at Xuehu and said resolutely: "I think I should give something." As he said that, he picked up the spatula and wanted to help Xuehu turn the dishes in the pot. Who knows, within half a minute of getting the spatula, he I overturned the pot.
Wangchuan and Xiaoying, who were sitting in the living room, only heard the constant banging and banging and Li Wenyu's scream from the kitchen, as if the snow fox was killing him and making human flesh. It was as terrifying as the imagination of the world. , if they see a demon, before the demon does anything, they begin to imagine that the demon will harm people, eat them, and do some frightening things. But this Li Wenyu has now integrated into it. He sometimes screams and sometimes laughs amidst the smashing music of pots and pans.
Hearing Li Wenyu's laughter, Wangchuan couldn't help but laugh. The smile on the corner of his mouth was so obvious that the little parrot was stunned.
"Sir...you are laughing..."
"Is there any?" Wangchuan asked with a smile.
The little parrot shouted happily: "Sister Xuehu, come and see, sir, he is smiling!"
"Huh?" Xuehu poked his head out of the kitchen and saw Wangchuan's smile...
After hearing this, Li Wenyu also ran out. He came out to see Wangchuan smile, and he was not disappointed. Wangchuan really smiled brighter when he saw that Li Wenyu's face was dirty as if someone had stepped on it.
At dinner, because of Li Wenyu's troubles in the kitchen, there was only one dish and one soup, but they ate happily. People were no longer afraid of ghosts, gods and goblins, and goblins also understood the warmth and warmth of human relationships.
A few days later, Li Wenyu hung a sign in front of the villa. It was a wooden sign with four words engraved on it: Weird Smell Liaozhai.
