Boss Zhou remembered that Lawyer An once said that she had such a lover, his name was Feng Si. After meeting that woman who was making pickled cabbage, Lawyer An uttered in a low voice, “No… Cuihua’er.”

“Fourth Master”

These two words kept repeating in her mouth over and over again, almost becoming a quote that was engraved in her mind. They unexpectedly met here. It was a little awkward, but it also caught Lawyer An a little off guard as he originally wanted to try his best to cling to the salted fish’s thigh when he came back from the Ministry of Dragon.

After he had become successful in the future, he would have made Feng Si’er kneel in front of him and lick his boots. This kind of mentality was the same as that of a goofy guy who was dumped by his ex-girlfriend. There was always a kind of “You didn’t choose me, so you will regret it for the rest of your life.” aura about him.

However, the dream was very full and the reality was very slim. As they met again, she sat in the pavilion cooking pickles as he ran away in a panic as if he had a foreign debt. In contrast, it was a little too clear and disparity. Zhou Ze looked at Lao An, he found that Lawyer An’s eyes were a little lonely. His face, also mixed with a kind of disheartened and lazy look.

Somewhat surprisingly, he had always been like someone who was on steroids. Always shouting “Fight, fight, fight!”

Lawyer An was trying to change the salted fish ethos in the bookstore… There were times when he was depressed. Zhou Ze reached out and placed his hand on Lawyer An’s shoulder, patting him gently.

“I’m fine.”

Lawyer An smiled at Zhou Ze and thanked him for his concern. Although the boss was like a little salted fish, he still knew how to give his subordinates this kind of free consolation at critical moments.

“Master Four, right? I’ve brought your enemy for you. I’ll leave him to you. Take your time to chat. I’ll be leaving first.”

“…” Lawyer An.

Zhou Ze took two steps back, he was a ghost. He would return to Hell from time to time to take a stroll. Although he sometimes did not conform to the rules, it was not a big deal and he would not be pursued. Cuihua’er stared at Zhou Ze. When she saw that Zhou Ze wanted to retreat, she subconsciously prepared to rush out of the pavilion.

The last time this woman entered the world of the living, she had randomly entered a physical body. Her body looked quite tall and big, but she did not appear fat. The white and tender feeling was a rare taste of an eastern woman’s horse. This was the type of daughter-in-law that rural mothers liked the most. It was good to give birth to children!

Master Four stood up, Cuihua’er did not dare to move recklessly. She continued to squat down and observe the temperature of the pickled cabbage. To be honest, Feng Si was indeed quite good-looking. His face was very pale, and he was also very handsome. Moreover, he exuded a scholarly temperament. It was the temperament of an ancient scholar. He was the opposite type of Gao Xiaosong. Zhou Ze secretly compared it.

“Hmm… He wasn’t as good-looking as Elder Xu, but he wasn’t bad either.”

Zhou Ze didn’t believe that Lawyer An had taken Feng Si’er in as his subordinate and carefully nurtured him without the factor of looks. In this world, looking at ability was an eternal principle. However, most people can’t surpass others in abilities. Thus, the public couldn’t leave the fate of looking at faces. Being ugly… was a type of original sin.

“Brother An, come in and have a seat?” Master Four pointed to the pavilion.

“It’s been a long time since we last met. I’m so anxious. Shall we chat?”

Lawyer An didn’t move as Zhou Ze slowly retreated.

“That friend of yours as well, don’t go.” Feng Si pointed at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze also stopped moving. During these few steps of retreat, it could be considered to have opened up a small distance between the two of them. If they launched an attack later, they would have the upper hand.

Fighting in Hell… the risk was too high. A fugitive… a public enemy of Hell… if they were to be a little more high profile, they would attract tens of thousands of people to step on them. However, the more they waited for death… the more impossible it was.

Creating a little distance between them was also to make it easier for them to fight for their lives later. Old An was in charge of attack and defense. The two of them had cooperated a few times, so they could be considered experienced.

However… Lawyer An sighed as he said immediately, “Si, what if I say I don’t want to talk about it?”

“Since Brother An doesn’t want to talk about personal affairs, then I can only talk about justice with you.”

The meaning was very simple. If he refused to accept the toast, he could only accept the forfeit.

“That’s good. I also miss Cuihua’er’s pickled cabbage.”

Lawyer An agreed and walked toward the pavilion. Zhou Ze naturally walked forward as well as he softly said,

“He’s the patrol inspector and you’re also the patrol inspector. What are you afraid of?”

“Boss, unless you wake that person up… the two of us combined aren’t his match. You’re underestimating the patrol inspector with an official status. Just the sheer strength he has is immense. Right now… I can only be considered a scoundrel who has settled down.”

Zhou Ze came to a realization, it turned out that the strength of the patrol inspector had a lot to do with whether he had an official position or not. It was no wonder he had doubted that even the silly servant girl Cuihua’er, who stood by Feng Si’s side could be so powerful. The gap between Old An and Feng Si was quite big. The reason was here.

They walked into the pavilion, the smell of pickled vegetables was very strong inside. Pickled vegetables were served as an appetizer and also as a meal. For people who liked pickled vegetables, it was difficult to give up. Of course… it was also unrealistic to only eat the sauerkraut, because of this… there were still noodles and fish pieces on the table.

The three men sat down as Cuihua glanced at Zhou Ze and continued to observe the heat. Master Four stretched his hand out and pushed the blue seal in front of him forward. He pointed at it and said,

“You’re quite fortunate Brother An as I was close to you. If this seal were to fly into the hands of others, it would be very troublesome.”

Zhou Ze did not know what this thing was, but he could roughly guess what it was used for. Lawyer An smiled and said,

“Why are you so close?”

Master Four’s eyes narrowed.

“That’s right, why are you so close?”

“Hell is so big, you just happened to be having a picnic here?”

“Liar…”

“Oh no… Me a liar?

Master Four nodded and said immediately,

“I’m here to finish up. I thought that the memorial archway would suck in some things and need me to take care of it. I didn’t expect that Brother An and the rest of you would also be sucked in.”

He came off straightforward, almost too straightforward. He didn’t pay any attention to the plot of a television drama.

“As an official, I’ll tell you in a justified manner. I’m just sitting here collecting black money and preparing to help with something.”

“Heh.” Lawyer An snorted.

Since Feng Si was so straightforward, he had nothing more to say. Feng Si was the one who reported him back then. Now, Feng Si was also the one who did illegal things. Except now nobody could correct him. Lawyer An knew that since he was in the system of Hell, he couldn’t avoid breaking the law in private.

There was a saying in Hell, let the citing under the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva swallow the Yin Officials one by one. There might be innocent people. Except if the citing swallowed them one by one, there would be something that he missed. This was the current situation of Hell.

“The Memorial Archway thing, was it you who did it?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Fog, a mutated malicious spirit… What a big deal”

“My friend, you must be joking. I’m Little Four, I don’t have the ability to do that.”

“I’m just running errands for someone. I’m short, I can’t handle such a big thing.”

“The pickled cabbage is ready,” Cuihua said.

Master Four nodded and said, “Let’s eat.”

The fish pieces and noodles were cooked. They could be put into the pot and mixed. At once, three bowls of steaming hot pickled fish noodles were served. Master Four picked up his chopsticks as he started to eat. Lawyer An also picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.

Zhou Ze suddenly realized that this was Hell, so it was okay to eat. He also picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. He didn’t need to take the Paramita Flower Oral Liquid to eat so well, it was equivalent to taking advantage of Boss Zhou!

“Chi Liu! Chi Liu! Chi Liu! Chi Liu! Chi Liu!!!”

In the pavilion that was originally at daggers drawn, now the sound of large mouthfuls of noodles reverberated. The tall, white, and fat Cuihua’er stood at the side. Seeing the three grown men eating so happily, the corners of her mouth revealed a satisfied smile. It was like watching three pigs in her pigsty eat, drink, and grow fat.

In the face of his woman’s cooking, the man would eat with all his might regardless of whether it was delicious or not. Even if he ate until he was full, it didn’t matter. The man thought that this was the woman’s love for him. What the woman reaped was the pleasure of feeding the pig.

After eating, Zhou Ze put down his chopsticks. Actually… The taste was not that great. The food they ate in Hell was not authentic. It was usually an offering. There was no difference in taste, nor was there any difference in texture.

Except it just came a little short from being labeled as authentic food. It did not seem to matter. If they lacked it, they would feel very regretful. It was no wonder Cuihua ate so heartily when she was faced with Xu Qinglang’s pickled cabbage noodles after she came to the human world.

“Is there anything else?”

Lawyer An pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of him away and went straight to the point:

“If you want to fight, you have to give me a word. I’ll take it.”

Zhou Ze shook his head. At this moment, Lawyer An was desperately trying to make himself look fat. It was as if he was attending his ex-girlfriend’s wedding. Trying to be stubborn and act strong.

“I’m not going to fight anymore,” said Master Four as he took the towel from Cuihua and wiped the corner of his mouth.

“Brother An sent Cuihua back last time. This time, I’ll return the favor.”

“However, I am still more interested in this friend of yours. My Ghost Jade is in the hands of your friend, right?”

The Fourth Master pointed at Zhou Ze and continued:

“Brother An, what is his relationship with you?”

“I heard from Cuihua that you have taken a ghost errand boy as your boss in the human world?”

“He is my opportunity.” Lawyer An was also frank.

“A Hidden Dragon Is In the Abyss.”

“Oh.”

Master Four nodded and did not ask in detail. Instead, he immediately said,

“That Ghost Jade can be considered as Little Four’s gift to this friend.”

To be honest… Feng Si was flawless when it came to being a person. However, Zhou Ze felt a little uncomfortable. This person… was too hypocritical, how was the Ghost Jade nurtured? It was nourished by the lives of ordinary people, he thought it was his. He even said it was for himself? Where was his face?

Master Four stood up and turned his back to Zhou Ze and Lawyer An. He faced the outside of the pavilion and the side of the ancient road, he sighed with emotion:

“Big Brother An, the wind is starting to blow Little Four. I’m down there, I’m also panicking.”

Lawyer An did not say a word. Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and nudged Lawyer An’s shoulder. An looked at Zhou Ze with some doubt.

“Is he asking for comfort and a hug?”
