The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 106 The Princess of the Underworld distributes "Meng Po Soup"

Beside the Wangchuan River, next to the Naihe Bridge, at Meng Po's stall.

Yan Lan reluctantly followed Meng Po to learn how to make "Meng Po Soup", and after learning it, she was responsible for making the deceased ghosts drink it.

It is a rare opportunity for the underworld princess Yan Lan to personally distribute the "Meng Po Soup". There are always some ghosts who are greedy for Yan Lan's beauty and are reluctant to drink the "Meng Po Soup".

In the past, the young ghosts had difficulty walking once they stepped onto the Naihe Bridge. They were very resistant to the "Meng Po Soup" and felt unable to take a sip even when the bowl was brought to their lips.

Today, Yan Lan personally distributed the "Meng Po Soup", and most of the ghosts drank it happily. Some were afraid of her reputation, some were really relieved, and some didn't want to remember it at all.

Admittedly, there are also dishonest ghosts, and there are a few of them right now.

"I don't drink."

A hundred-year-old male ghost came to Meng Po and refused to drink the "Meng Po Soup". Meng Po tried to persuade him for a long time but he refused to listen.

Yan Lan was forced to help, and she was already unhappy about it, so there was no need to expect her to be patient in this situation.

"I really don't understand why the 'Underworld' came up with something like 'Meng Po Soup'. If I drink it, all the private money I saved in my previous life... my billions of assets will be gone, right?" The 100-year-old ghost refused to take the soup from Meng Po and explained, "If I don't drink this soup, in my next life I can still remember the bank card password from my previous life, and the villa I bought privately, I can still..."

Yan Lan didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. She took the bowl of soup from Meng Po and handed it to the 100-year-old ghost, saying coldly, "You must drink it!"

When the centenarian ghost saw Yan Lan's tough attitude, he also became arrogant: "Didn't you say it was voluntary? I won't drink, why are you forcing me? Don't say you are the princess of the underworld, even if the King of Hell comes, I won't drink!"

Not drinking?

Yan Lan immediately put down the bowl of soup in his hand, grabbed the 100-year-old ghost with one hand and brought him to the bank of the Wangchuan River, saying coldly: "It's okay if you don't want to drink the soup. Jump in and be eroded by the river water and bitten by the fish like them day and night, and never be reincarnated."

"Jump down..."

The centenarian ghost took a look into the Forgetful River, and saw that it was full of ghosts who could not be reincarnated. Their faces were filled with expressions of agony, and they wished they could pull the centenarian ghost down.

"I... I'll think about it..." the centenarian ghost said hesitantly.

The ghosts waiting in line for soup had been waiting for a long time. The 100-year-old ghost was dawdling, so Yan Lan urged him impatiently, "Hurry up! The ghosts behind are waiting for you."

After weighing the pros and cons, the centenarian ghost finally drank the "Meng Po Soup". He didn't want to stay in the Forgotten River to be punished.

……

The next person to come forward was a female ghost who was about 27 or 28 years old. She had a difficult labor and her husband had said "save the baby". She was unwilling to accept this and wanted to go back and seek revenge on her husband.

Meng Po stood in front and handed a bowl of soup to the ghost girl first, advising her: "Girl, let it go! No matter how bad it is, the child is your own, and you exchanged your life for him. He has already lost his mother, don't let him lose his father. Since you met such a heartless man in your previous life, wouldn't it be better to let it go? Why waste time seeking revenge? If you are a woman again in your next life, just open your eyes and stay away from that kind of man!"

As the saying goes, "There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart." After hearing this, the female ghost not only did not get over it, but instead felt that Meng Po was "talking without any pain in her waist." She angrily said, "What do you know? You have never been in love, how do you know the feeling of being 'abandoned' and 'betrayed'?"

"Miss." Yan Lan interrupted the ghost girl, handed her a bowl of "Meng Po Soup", and said bluntly: "We only provide 'Meng Po Soup', not 'chatting'. Would you like to drink the soup or go down to the Forgetful River?"

The female ghost looked up at Yan Lan's eyes, her heart aching with fear. She didn't dare to say anything and drank the "Meng Po Soup" obediently.

……

The 24-year-old male ghost died due to drunk driving. The moment he saw Yan Lan, he did not regret "drunk driving" for the first time. "I have met the princess." The male ghost said to Yan Lan courteously, shook off his handsome appearance, and smiled: "The princess is naturally beautiful, she is really the most beautiful woman in the underworld!"

"Drink the soup." Yan Lan didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore, so she handed the bowl of soup directly to the male ghost.

"If you drink this bowl of soup, I won't remember you, the beautiful princess." The male ghost explained to Yan Lan. Seeing her cold face, he begged, "Can you... not drink it?"

Yan Lan grabbed the male ghost's hand, put the bowl of soup in his palm, and said firmly: "No."

The male ghost looked at Yan Lan with disappointment, and tried both soft and hard tactics. When he found that none of his tricks to pursue girls worked on Yan Lan, he finally drank the soup.

……

"Princess, I heard that you fell in love with a ghost hundreds of years ago and asked him to stay in the underworld to accompany you, right?"

The male ghost who was speaking was only about 25 years old, and he didn't know where he heard about "Yueyang".

Yan Lan had no intention of answering. She was conscientiously serving a bowl of "Meng Po Soup". After serving, she immediately signaled the male ghost to drink the soup.

"Princess."

Although he knew it was unlikely, the male ghost still wanted to try his luck, and said with a silly smile: "When Yueyang is not in the underworld, aren't you lonely? Aren't you lonely? I don't have a strong interest in 'reincarnation'. If the princess agrees, I am willing to stay and accompany the princess."

The long table was filled with bowls of "Meng Po Soup". Every time a ghost came, one bowl of soup would be missing.

"Princess, I swear, I will never abandon you like Yue Yang did." The male ghost said solemnly. Yan Lan didn't say anything. He continued: "I am willing to accompany the princess, grill fish by the Wangchuan River, enjoy the scenery on the Naihe Bridge, make soup here with Mengpo, and look at the flourishing world on the Wangxiang Terrace."

"Young man, drink the soup!" Meng Po couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted.

He dared to bring up "Yueyang". If I didn't interrupt him, he would probably be kicked into the Forgetful River by Yan Lan, right?

In Yan Lan's eyes, there is no such thing as real "voluntary".

"Princess... please believe me, every word I say is from the heart. I hope you will consider it seriously." The male ghost struggled.

"I'll give you one last chance." Yan Lan pointed at the "Meng Po Soup" in the ghost's hand and asked, "Do you want to drink it?"

Back then, this male ghost was very charming in the mortal world, but unfortunately, his tricks on mortal girls were completely unnecessary for Yan Lan.

After struggling for a long time, he still had to drink it obediently in the end, so his "desperate struggle" was meaningless.

……

While helping Meng Po distribute the "Meng Po Soup", Yan Lan was calculating the time to get off work, always wanting to find an opportunity to sneak back to the mortal world to accompany Lan Tian.

In her opinion, Lan Tian would miss her very much when she was not around. However, how could she know that Lan Tian could only breathe a sigh of relief when she was not around?

From time to time there are ghosts who like to be sneaky and pretend to have drunk the "Meng Po soup" but actually haven't.

Often at such times, Yan Lan would slap them on the mouth without hesitation, forcing them to swallow the "Meng Po Soup" in their mouths.
