Reborn right after ascending to immortality?

Chapter 39 Mei Yun: You're being way too mature!
"Oh no, how did I faint?"

Mei Yun opened his eyes in a daze, waking up from his deep sleep. He was completely bewildered. One second he was in Fengdu City, and the next he was on a ship.

He felt that there were gaps in his memory.

"Is such that."

An Sheng explained to Mei Yun with a serious expression, telling the truth.

"You were ambushed by a despicable, handsome villain, and surrounded by demons. It was only because I swore to protect you with my life and never abandoned you that I saved your life."

I fought the thief to the death, but the villain's skills were far too advanced. Luckily, I only suffered a minor injury to my hand.

At the same time, he also showed Mei Yun the flower knife he had kept in his hand—the wound that An Sheng had cut himself was not deep and had already scabbed over.

“But don’t worry,” An Sheng sneered, “I didn’t let them get away with it either!”

Mei Yun nodded, "So that's how it is."

He saw the wound on An Sheng's hand and believed it to be true.

These must be assassins sent by the Kunlun Su family.

"Thank you," he said politely.

"You're welcome," An Sheng said politely.

For a time, the brothers were friendly and respectful to each other.

"This is our contact, Judge Cui, Brother Cui."

An Sheng introduced Cui Yu to Mei Yun, and his admiration for Judge Cui was evident in his words: "He is the most magnanimous person I have ever met."

Mei Yun couldn't stand An Sheng's obsequiousness towards righteous people; it was truly disgusting.

Given his reputation as a ruthless swordsman, he would never be so obsequious.

"Ah."

Immediately, Mei Yun snorted coldly, her gray-white eyes beneath the black cloth revealing an arrogant and disdainful look.

Seeing Mei Yun's arrogance, Cui Yu smiled coldly to himself.

Before he came, he had already heard that this young master Mei was a troublemaker.

They even dared to disrespect Vice Minister Li.

He originally came to deflate Mei Yun's arrogance.

Before Cui Yu could make a move, An Sheng leaned over and whispered a few words to Mei Yun. Mei Yun's arrogant and disdainful expression instantly changed.

First came indifference, then skepticism, then surprise, and finally, a strange sense of awe.

"Lord Cui, do you have a wife or something similar?" Mei Yun asked tentatively.

"A real man should have three wives and four concubines," Cui Yu boasted proudly.

"Brother Cui," Mei Yun's expression became clearly respectful, "From now on, I will follow you."

After the Su family incident, Mei Yun finally realized that someone else's wife is the best.

Because the bride price has already been paid in advance.

Seeing Mei Yun's respectful attitude, Cui Yu assumed that he had achieved great official authority and could make the devil bow down with just a glance.

Even Vice Minister Li couldn't suppress the devil, but he could.

It seems I'm not far from being promoted to a senior professional title.

After leaving the River Naihe, An Sheng saw the first spring of the Nine Springs, Fengquan.

This has already surpassed the limits of what people can imagine.

It was as if the entire sky had collapsed and stood horizontally at the end of the Naihe River.

The spring water connects heaven and earth, flowing from the sky to the bottom, its height unknown, and its width extends across Fengdu, reaching to the left and right, its width unknown, reaching to the right, reaching to the left and right ... right, reaching to the right, reaching to the right, reaching to the right, reaching to the right, reaching to the right, reaching to the right

Beneath the surging Fengquan Spring, upon closer inspection, one can see indescribable strange creatures flowing through it, with countless tiny pupils piled together to form the undulating waves of Fengquan.

An Sheng had read about Fengquan, and ancient books said: "Fengquan is the prison of commands, which governs the heavenly demons." Demons are born from the heart, mainly referring to those who have done all kinds of bad things and are extremely vicious.

Now it seems that it is indeed as described in the ancient text.

What is swallowed beneath Fengquan is the resentment of celestial demons from ancient times; the spring water is as black as ink and as deep red as blood.

"Sit tight."

Judge Cui gave the order, then sneered and deliberately swayed the ferry to give them a warning and continue to suppress the arrogance of these two devils. "We're going down to the second level, don't fall."

The ferry swayed precariously in the turbulent waters of Fengquan, drifting downstream, always on the verge of being swallowed by the great terror of the water.

"Please do not worry, Lord Cui."

An Sheng quickly said,
"Before boarding the ship, I bought Mei Yun a 'Ferry Boat Accidental Personal Injury Insurance' issued by the Yin Law Department of Fengdu Building. If something happens, they will compensate me 100,000 spirit stones!"

Mei Yun's face turned pale.

Judge Cui's face turned even paler.

As soon as An Sheng finished speaking, the ferry boat immediately stabilized.

Like walking on flat ground.

Judge Cui broke out in a cold sweat. What a vicious and cunning demon! He even bought insurance from his family while traveling on a boat to the underworld!

After some trouble, the ferry disembarked at Fengquan and finally arrived at the second spring, 'Chongquan'.

An Sheng had read records of Fengquan, ancient texts which stated: "The second is Chongquan, the prison for beheadings, presided over by those who neglect their duties in charge of ancestral rites."

Those in positions of power should fulfill their duties. Corrupt officials who manage ancestral halls but fail to take responsibility are executed, and their wronged souls return to the underworld.

Mei Yun had never been to the Nine Netherworlds before, and now he was seeing the Chongquan for the first time. However, the appearance of the Chongquan was different from what he had imagined.

The water is very clear, clean, and almost transparent.

It is completely different from Fengquan.

There was almost no resentment in Chongquanli; it was a place of peace and tranquility.

A slightly chilly wind swept by, the water calm and still, the white-blue spring water revealing the sand and stones at the bottom. The artificial sun of the Nine Netherworld had just risen, its orange-yellow sunlight shining into the spring water, softening its hue—at the far end of the deep spring, the pass could already be faintly seen.

The gate to the gate stands where the sun rises; beyond the gate to the gate lies the second realm.

People say that the worldview of the Nine Netherworlds is more terrifying with each layer.

Now that Mei Yun has seen the beautiful scenery of Weimen Domain, she realizes that the rumors are not true; the scenery in this hell is quite beautiful too.

“In the past, the heavy metal pollution in Chongquan was excessive.”

Judge Cui explained, "Fengdu then ordered a reduction in pollution emissions, energy conservation and emission reduction, and the adoption of environmentally friendly energy sources, which improved the quality of the spring water."

It turned out to be the case.

An Sheng and Mei Yun nodded; it turned out that pollution emissions had been reduced.

"Ask a question."

We can already see Weimen Pass.

Mei Yun was a native of the Kunlun Mei family, and this was his first time descending into the Nine Netherworlds, so he had many questions.

“I have read records in ancient books at home, and it seems that the second gate is not called Weimen Pass.”

He asked, "It's called 'Gates of Hell'."

Judge Cui glanced at Mei Yun, paused, and then said, "It was indeed called Guimen Pass before. With the construction of the rule of law in Kunlun, the pass on the second level was renamed."

"Why?" Mei Yun asked, very curious.

"Because Kunlun thought the word 'ghost' was very discordant and had violent and terrifying connotations, he changed it to 'guard'."

Judge Cui said mysteriously, "Besides, there are no ghosts living in the underworld anymore; all those living in the underworld are people."

"I see." Mei Yun felt that she had learned something new.

Judge Cui turned around and said, "Now that we're here, and there's no one else around, I'll speak with you openly."

"You two are almost adults."

A faint, ambiguous smile played on his lips. "In that case, let's talk about adult topics."

What are some topics that adults discuss?
For some reason, Mei Yun's pupils narrowed, and he swallowed hard. How many adults could there be?
"The first thing is that, according to Kunlun regulations, non-orthodox officials must pay customs duties when passing through the Gates of Hell."

The artificial sun's glow illuminated Judge Cui's profile. Judge Cui smiled and said, "This topic is indeed quite mature."

"Pay 15% of your total cultivation level!"
