Chapter 1117 - A Night In the Netherworld

Pan Guan’s words were a shock to Shen Xiaoxiao and Little Treasure. Now, it was impossible for them not to look for the Daughter of the Milky Way. But who exactly was this Daughter of the Milky Way?

“Pan Guan, may I ask who exactly is the Daughter of the Milky Way?”

“This, Madam, we have never seen the appearance of the Daughter of the Milky Way. Other than going to Xuantian Pavilion on the 15th of every month to take away the soul with the heaviest resentment, she spends the rest of her time guarding the Resurrection Lily. She has never appeared in front of all of us. Even when she appears in Xuantian Pavilion, her form was like silk and flowing water.”

“She’s as red as fire, just like a floating spider lily. She has no roots, just like a wandering soul.”

This answer refreshed their understanding. Then why was she called the Daughter of the Milky Way? Wasn’t she just a soul without a form?

“Then why is she called the Daughter of the Milky Way? If she doesn’t even have a form, why is she still regarded as the Black Emperor’s destined wife?”

Shen Xiaoxiao’s question was very normal. Even Pan Guan knew that this lady was the Black Emperor’s wife in the mortal world, so he didn’t hide anything from her.

“This is an ancient legend. We don’t know either. It seems that in ancient times, the Daughter of the Milky Way was formed from the blooming of a flower on the other shore. One day, the Daughter of the Milky Way met the Black Emperor, and their feelings for each other deepened. Unfortunately, the Black Emperor fell into the mortal world in order to go through the tribulation, so the Daughter of the Milky Way has been waiting in our Netherworld for the Black Emperor to return, so...”

“In other words, that so-called predestined wife is just a legend?”

Pan Guan was stunned. This seemed to be the case, but this legend had been around for tens of thousands of years. Could it be false? It couldn’t be, right?

“This legend has indeed been around for thousands of years, so, we all thought...”

“So you all thought that the Black Emperor and the Daughter of the Milky Way were a couple?”

“That — That is indeed the case.”

......

Hearing such an answer, Shen Xiaoxiao finally felt at ease. If that was the case, what was she afraid of? What fate? What predestined? It was just a rumor. Would Yan Kuan marry an unfamiliar woman? How was that possible?

“Where is the Daughter of the Milky Way? Please show us the way, Pan Guan.”

Pan Guan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and Little Treasure with some difficulty. If something happened to them, how could he bear the responsibility?

“Madam, don’t make things difficult for me. I really shouldn’t have told you. If King Yama finds out, not only will I lose my official position, I will definitely be cut off from the 18th level of h*ll. If Madam and the Crown Prince insist on going, why don’t we wait for three days? When King Yama comes back, the Crown Prince can ask King Yama about the specifics.”

“This...”

Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Pan Guan was just playing around, but she really couldn’t make things difficult for him. He had already given her a lot of face, and he had come so quickly and told them so many things. If he told them about this... This was about losing his official position and having his tongue plucked out and going to h*ll.

“Alright then. Thank you for clearing up the confusion today, Pan Guan.”

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare. You’re too kind, Madam.”

“Little Treasure, let’s go.”

Little Treasure nodded. In this aspect, he was very respectful to his mother. If Shen Xiaoxiao decided on something, he promised that he would not say no.

The door closed with a loud bang. Then, Little Treasure looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and asked,”Mommy, are we coming back in three days?”

“Yes, that Pan Guan is also in a difficult position. Little Treasure, you must remember that in this boundless Netherworld, the King of H*ll is easy to get rid of. Little ghosts are hard to deal with. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t easily offend these ghosts. They’re different from humans.”

“Yes, I know. Mommy, should we go back now?”

“Yes, go back.”

“Shen Xiaoxiao, it’s Shen Xiaoxiao. Let go of me! That’s Shen Xiaoxiao! Hahaha, Shen Xiaoxiao, I didn’t expect you to also be a short-lived ghost. You actually came to h*ll too. Hahaha, Shen Xiaoxiao, Shen Xiaoxiao.”

The mother and son had just walked through a broken road when they reached the fork in the road. They saw a group of ghosts pressing down on three people and walking in the direction they had walked before. Those prisoners were all women, and their hands and feet were trapped. They were wearing white clothes. Their hair was messy, and their faces were extremely pale. Their expressions were extremely dull.

The person who was shouting at Shen Xiaoxiao and the others was not anyone else, it was really the dead Liu Yufei. They did not expect to see this person even after she was dead. Indeed, she was haunting them.

“Shut up and pull her down.”

“Shen Xiaoxiao, this is retribution, retribution! You also have this day...”

Liu Yufei was forcefully dragged away by the ghost messenger. Her mouth kept opening and closing, but because the ghost messenger cast a spell, she could not say a single word.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Little Treasure in surprise. Little Treasure naturally did not know this Liu Yufei, but fortunately, White Impermanence walked over at this time. When he saw the two of them, he ran over and said in an extremely obsequious manner,”Crown Prince, Madam, you’re here. I’m sorry we didn’t take good care of you and scared you.”

“It’s Uncle White Impermanence.”

“I don’t dare for you call to call me Uncle. Crown Prince, are you bringing Madam here to play?”

White Impermanence didn’t expect that the Crown Prince didn’t put on any airs at all. Every time he saw them, he would call them Uncle. He was very sweet. Even if he wasn’t Crown Prince, they couldn’t be fierce with such a cute child.

“Yes, I’m bringing Mommy here to take a look.”

“White Impermanence, who were the three women you brought just now?”

When White Impermanence heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s question, he immediately replied, “Oh, those three women just now. They had just finished the eighth layer of ice h*ll and were about to enter the ninth layer of oil h*ll.”

“Ice h*ll?”

“Yes, they were all adulterers and lascivious women in the world of the living. After they died, they would be stripped naked and thrown at the top of the Ice Mountains.”

“Ah? So the oil h*ll is going to fry them?”

“Madam is smart. Naturally, this is the reason. The most heinous people in the world of the living will be like this.”

From the looks of it, even if Liu Yufei died, she still had to experience these things. She did not know if she would regret it.

When White Impermanence saw Shen Xiaoxiao’s abnormal expression, he thought that she was worried about what would happen to her in the future. He immediately flattered her:

“Madam and the Crown Prince are blessed. Naturally, they won’t come to our boundless h*ll.”

“Oh, I’m not worried about that. It’s just that Liu Yufei was someone I knew when she was alive, so I asked a few more questions.”

“Oh, Madam, do you want to greet the people below?”

So this Netherworld also knew how to use connections? Sure enough, corruption really existed everywhere.

“There’s no need for that. I’m not familiar with her. I’m just curious. I can’t break the rules of this world. Besides, she’s already dead, so she doesn’t have anything to do with me anymore. Am I right?”

“Madam is very thorough. That’s true.”

“Thank you, White Impermanence, for helping us out. I’ll take my leave.”

Since Shen Xiaoxiao knew what was going on, she naturally turned around and left with Little Treasure.

When White Impermanence saw the two of them leave, he thought about it and decided to take a look at this Madam’s old friend. From the looks of it, they did not seem to be on good terms. If they were enemies, he would have to help them out. If they were friends with her, he would treat her very well in the future...
