The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 105 Yan Lan is forced to stay in the underworld

【Land God Temple】

Xia Yu lay on her big bed, crossed her legs leisurely, put one hand behind her head, and looked at the ear of the Pikachu doll she had caught with the other hand.

Luo Fan said that the name of this doll is "Pikachu", a character in an anime.

Why is it called "Pikachu"?

It looks like it’s not “skinny” at all, right?

Is it because it is more "stuck"?
"You haven't been home all night, and you brought back... this?"

The God of Land looked at Xia Yu's puzzled expression, walked into her room and asked a question.

Xia Yu smiled at the extremely cute Pikachu, slowly pulled out the hand that was behind his head, raised Pikachu up with both hands, and said, "Yes! Eh? Land... Why do you think it's called 'Pikachu'?"

The God of Land sat down beside Xia Yu's bed with his cane, shook his head, and said, "Then... why are you called 'Xia Yu'?"

"As for me..." Xia Yu thought about it seriously and replied, "I was once a mortal in my previous life. My parents gave me this name. Since I can't forget my past life, I continue to call myself 'Xia Yu'."

"There is a life? You only reincarnate once?" the God of Land asked again.

"There was only one time when I was reincarnated as a 'mortal'. I don't know what I became in the other times, and I don't have any memory of it. But it seems that... since the time I was reincarnated as a mortal, 'Meng Po Soup' has lost its effect on me." Xia Yu replied.

"Oh!" The Earth God suddenly realized and responded, then he answered Xia Yu: "So... its name may also be given by... its parents. However, the point now is not that, but... what have you gained from going out these few days?"

When talking about the "harvest" of the past few days, Xia Yu slowly put down the Pikachu in his hand, turned over and sat up on the bed, and replied dejectedly: "No harvest..."

She also wandered around the streets with the "red line" for a few days. Why hasn't the son of the demon king shown up yet?
Can we lure him out using the "red line"?

And Yan Lan suddenly disappeared for three days. Did he go back to the underworld?
"Land God..." Xia Yu felt that the land god must know Yan Lan's whereabouts, and asked hurriedly: "Do you know where Yan Lan went these three days? It was the princess of the underworld..."

Hearing this, the Earth God suddenly looked at Xia Yu with some emotion and said, "Why? You remembered to ask me now? You knew to ask me for help? I asked you to convey some words from your master to me... You forgot about it, but you remembered me now?"

This old man...

Are you good at holding grudges?
You can't blame her for that. If she had told him at that time, she wouldn't know whether the God of Land would be promoted or not, and the chances of success were very slim anyway.

"Oh, God of Land..." Xia Yu suddenly hugged God of Land's arm and said coquettishly, "You are the best! You are the dignified 'God of Land', how can you be so stingy? Come on, tell me, I have promised you, I will definitely remember it next time I return to heaven... I will tell Master for you."

"Sure?"

"Definitely, definitely, definitely, and definitely."

Seeing Xia Yu's assurances, the Earth God slowly said, "The King of Hell discovered that Yan Lan was not in the underworld, so he ordered the not-so-busy Ox-Head and Horse-Face to come to the mortal world to look for her. A few days ago, Yan Lan was helping him with his plans at Hua Nanjin's house. Yesterday, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face came to look for her, and she followed them back to the underworld."

Really went back?

Xia Yu thought: It would be better to go back, so as to avoid causing a lot of trouble in the mortal world.

……

Just as the God of Land said, Yan Lan was captured by the Ox-Head and Horse-Face and taken back to the underworld.

As soon as he arrived at the [Hall of Yama], he was scolded by the King of Hell. Yan Lan was too lazy to explain.

Fortunately, after returning to the underworld, Yan Lan's Yin Qi was immediately restored and her magic power was no longer restricted. In order to prevent being discovered by the King of Hell, Yan Lan hid the "Rebirth Bell" she was wearing in the mortal world before entering the underworld. It was not convenient to talk about private matters in the main hall, so the King of Hell took Yan Lan back to her side hall and asked her sternly: "What are you doing in the mortal world?"

Yan Lan stood in front of the King of Hell, stood on tiptoe, kicked something that didn't exist back and forth, and replied, "Play."

"Play?" The King of Hell was getting more and more angry. In order to maintain his demeanor as the King of Hell, he suppressed his temper and asked, "As a princess of the underworld, you don't help me deal with affairs, but only think about 'eating, drinking and having fun' all day long?"

“There are so many ghost officials in the underworld, and they don’t need me…” Yan Lan curled her lips and muttered, “After hundreds of years of staying in the underworld, even a human would get moldy. Life used to be easier with Yue Yang by my side, but now I’m bored to death alone!”

"Bored?" Lord Yan looked at the unfocused Yan Lan and said, "It seems like you have too much free time!"

"I had nothing to do anyway." Yan Lan replied.

Before the Ox-Head and Horse-Face went to the mortal world to find Yan Lan, the King of Hell once used magic to find Yan Lan's location, but failed to find her.

"Did you buy the medicine from the witch?" asked the King of Hell suspiciously.

Discovered?

how come?
The Yin energy in her body has been restored, so there is no reason for her to be exposed.

"No." Yan Lan answered calmly.

"No? Then why... can't I find your whereabouts using magic?" asked the King of Hell in a deep voice.

Yan Lan felt somewhat guilty, but still pretended to be calm: "Father, you are too tired. Did you use the wrong spell? Try again."

After hearing this, the King of Hell looked at Yan Lan suspiciously, and really used magic to check her location again, and this time it was successful.

Investigation revealed her location... in the underworld, and the environment of a side hall was clearly visible.

Ok?
Can I check again?
The King of Hell quietly put away his magic.

He had just left for a while when a new wave of ghosts appeared in the main hall waiting for their fate. He had no choice but to let Yan Lan go temporarily and rushed back to the main hall.

When they reached the door, the King of Hell turned back and added to Yan Lan: "From today on, you will go to the Wangchuan River to help Meng Po make soup. When Meng Po is working, you work, and when Meng Po is off work, you go off work. If you dare to go to the mortal world without permission again, I will never let you off easily."

Help Meng Po make soup?
Doesn't that mean she has no time to go to the mortal world?
Yan Lan chased to the side hall door, wanting the King of Hell to take back his order, and said: "Father! The process of brewing 'Meng Po Soup' is so complicated, I don't know how to..."

The King of Hell walked away without even looking back, and threw a word to Yan Lan from a distance: "Learn!"

"What the hell is this..." Yan Lan returned to the room angrily and closed the door with a palm.

There are so many new trainee ghost officials in the underworld. Why don't you let them have some training? Why do you have to ask her to help?

"Princess, the little devil king wants to see you."

Wang Er received the paper money burned by his parents in the mortal world and bought what he wanted. He came specially to thank Yan Lan and, by the way... to find out if Yan Lan had any trouble in the mortal world.

"Come in." Yan Lan said coldly.

Having just been scolded and then forced to "go to work", Yan Lan's mood was really not good at the moment.

As soon as Wang Er entered the room, he felt Yan Lan's anger and spoke carefully. He said, "Princess... I came here specially to thank you. I have received the paper money that my parents burned for me."
