Chapter 210 A Favor

The judge good-naturedly said thank you again.

This time, his attitude was relatively better.

Yuan Muye wasn't the kind of person who didn't appreciate kindness. Seeing the judge change his attitude, he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

In any case, the judge was still a judge. What if he offended him and he shortened your lifespan?

"Alright, but I'll say the ugly things first. I've never seen King Yama, and I don't know what he looks like. Even if I run into him, I might not recognize him. So, don't blame me if I can't notify you in time."

Yuan Muye stated the possible scenarios in advance.

It was good that he had such plans, after all, no one could predict what form King Yama would appear in next time.

The judge looked at him and nodded after a long while.

"How about this? Anything you don't recognize, or that you find suspicious, you can notify the underworld. I'll send someone to confirm their identity."

This matter was no small feat, so they had to be extra careful.

Yuan Muye was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

At this moment, he hoped that King Yama wouldn't come looking for him, because the affairs of Yun City were already giving him a headache. If King Yama came to him again, talking about creating a whole new world, he'd probably go crazy.

But he really couldn't understand why King Yama would do this.

Was it because he didn't like being in the underworld, so he wanted to create a world that he liked?

But creating a new world wasn't that easy.

Putting aside the jade stone world, it was unlikely in the human world.

Unless all the evil ghosts died, but that was clearly unrealistic.

"Okay."

"You've been here for a long time. Hurry up and leave. If you're discovered by other ghosts, it'll be difficult for me," the judge said seriously.

Yuan Muye didn't say much. In order not to cause trouble for the judge, he immediately transformed back into his ghost form.

That way, even if he was discovered by other little ghosts, it wouldn't be too much trouble.

"Then we won't disturb you. We'll leave first."

The old man said softly, then left with Yuan Muye.

Coming out of the palace, Yuan Muye still felt like he was dreaming.

He didn't come back to his senses until he got on the boat.

The boat floated on the Wangchuan River (River of Forgetfulness), and the ghostly faces under the river were clearly visible. They seemed to want to break free from the Wangchuan River, but they couldn't.

Yuan Muye looked at those ghostly faces and asked the old man, "Grandpa, what do you think those ghosts were thinking when they jumped into the Wangchuan River?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Every ghost has a different initial intention. Some are for love, some are for hate, but in short, they can't escape the seven emotions and six desires. Actually, sometimes I can't understand why people still have attachments after they're dead."

Attachments, but because there are people and things they can't let go of.

Yuan Muye could understand those ghosts. If it were him, he might not be willing to reincarnate obediently.

"Some ghosts should regret it, right?" Yuan Muye sighed and said.

"What's the use of regretting? They will be trapped under the Wangchuan River forever, unless they can let go of their obsessions," the old man said softly.

He probably had long been used to such things, after all, he had been on the Wangchuan River for so long, and what kind of ghosts hadn't he seen?

Sometimes, obsession is really a terrible thing.

Even after death, like these ghosts, they would rather stay in the Wangchuan River than leave.

"Alright, stop looking at those ghosts, I don't want to have to fish you out again," the old man reminded Yuan Muye.

As long as they are human, they will have seven emotions and six desires, and emotions and desires are a person's weakness.

Ghosts like to seize a person's weaknesses to break through their defenses.

Yuan Muye withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and stopped thinking about those things.

He didn't know how long had passed when he heard the old man's voice again.

"We're here. Be careful after you go out. I guess you were being watched by those things when you came in," the old man reminded him.

Yuan Muye guessed that the old man must have known something, but he didn't ask anything. The old man had already reminded him, and it would be foolish to be nosy.

"Okay, I know. Thank you, Grandpa."

Although this thank you seemed a bit polite, Yuan Muye still felt he should say it.

The old man chuckled and said, "Don't be so polite between us."

After they said a few more words, Yuan Muye left directly.

On the way back, Yuan Muye really felt like something was following him.

But he pretended not to know anything and walked forward on his own.

Just as he was about to walk out of the underworld, Yuan Muye suddenly stopped and looked ahead with a solemn expression.

"Aren't you tired of following me all the way?" Yuan Muye said lightly.

At first, there was no reaction behind him.

So, Yuan Muye said again, "If you don't come out, I'm going to leave."

This time, there was finally movement behind him.

He only heard a series of low footsteps walking towards him, and after a moment, they stopped.

Yuan Muye turned around calmly and saw a rather frightening face.

Half of this ghost's face seemed to have been burned by something, with a large scar.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Yuan Muye asked directly.

"You... you came from the human world, right?" the male ghost asked cautiously.

Yuan Muye was stunned for a moment and asked, "So?"

"Can you do me a favor?" the male ghost looked at him with pleading eyes.

Yuan Muye was a little surprised. He didn't know this male ghost, and the male ghost asked him for help right away. He didn't know what the male ghost was thinking.

"We don't even know each other. Why should I help you?" Yuan Muye wasn't a philanthropist who would help anyone who asked.

The male ghost frowned slightly, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Because you're the only ghost I've seen since I came here who can still return to the human world."

Yuan Muye was immediately stunned. He didn't know why, but he felt a little sad when he heard these words.

He looked at the male ghost in confusion and asked, "What favor do you want me to do?"

"After you return to the human world, can you help me find someone? No, she's a ghost now too. She's my wife. We agreed to go to the Yellow Springs together, but I've been waiting here for a long time and haven't seen her," the male ghost said with a sad tone.

Yuan Muye's heart tightened. They must have loved each other so much to agree to go to the Yellow Springs together.

"The human world is so big, where am I supposed to look? Besides, I can't leave where I am now just to find your wife."
