A good opportunity arose as Xiang Xueer turned around and knocked the soup bowl out of Ghost Messenger's hands, sending it crashing to the ground. Then, she lifted her foot and kicked several ghosts, causing them to tumble in all directions. Finally, she unleashed her ultimate move, the Divine Dragon Swings Its Tail, using one hand to overpower a group of people. The scene quickly descended into chaos.
"Wow, who stepped on my foot?!" someone screamed from somewhere.
"Get off me quickly; you're crushing me!" a certain Ghost Messenger was pinned to the ground and couldn't move!
"Help! This is harassment!" another female ghost cried out.
"…"
Xiang Xueer pulled Lian Cheng Xue out of the chaotic crowd and quickly left the area. She turned her head to see that the situation was already beyond control; Black Wuchang was likely crushed into a meat pie.
"Hahaha!" Xiang Xueer couldn't help but laugh, then she and Lian Cheng Xue headed toward Naihe Bridge. To exit the Underworld, they first had to cross Naihe Bridge, then take a boat across the river, and finally pass through the great gate leading out of the Underworld.
The route was firmly etched in Xiang Xueer's mind, but Lian Cheng Xue couldn't help but feel a bit worried: "Shirley, this is too risky. What if you can't get out?"
"If I can't get out, then so be it!" Xiang Xueer turned to Lian Cheng Xue and said, "If I can't save you, what meaning is there in my escape? It's all my fault for dragging you into this mess. So even if it costs me my life, I will rescue you from the Underworld."
Lian Cheng Xue felt a jolt in her heart and was quite moved. In this world, having such a confidante was worth even death.
Xiang Xueer estimated that the chaos over there would soon come to an end; she needed to think of a way to leave quickly. She looked down at herself and realized she was still wearing Ghost Messenger's clothes. While she could manage that, Lian Cheng Xue definitely needed some makeup.
She turned her head and immediately spotted her target: a Yama's Messenger passing by, swaying and humming a tune. Xiang Xueer dashed forward, circled around him, and struck his neck with one swift motion.
The Yama's Messenger fainted, and without hesitation, Xiang Xueer stripped him of his clothes and tossed them to Lian Cheng Xue. She efficiently dragged the unconscious Ghost Messenger behind a rock so that no one would notice them for now.
Lian Cheng Xue received the clothes and quickly understood Xiang Xueer's intention. After putting them on, she found it indeed hard to tell her apart and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You really are clever!"
"Let's go!" Xiang Xueer nodded in satisfaction as the two made their way toward Naihe Bridge. Just then, they encountered Meng Po standing at the bridgehead. Lian Cheng Xue suddenly felt tense and lowered her head to ask, "What... what should we do?"
"Calm down, don't be nervous." Xiang Xueer reached out and nudged Lian Cheng Xue, then walked confidently over. She waved at Meng Po, saying, "Hello, beautiful!"
"Hmm?" Meng Po puffed on her pipe, glancing at the two with her beautiful eyes. She looked somewhat unfamiliar and continued smoking without a care, "New here? I don't think I've seen you before!"
"Hehe, yes, new here!" Lian Cheng Xue swallowed hard and forced a smile as she echoed, "Hello, beautiful!"
Meng Po felt pleased by the compliment and didn't stop them. Instead, she turned to look at her reflection in the river, narcissistically touching her cheek. "Ah, this is already the third person who has called me beautiful today. It seems I still have my charm!"
This woman is really quite narcissistic. Seeing that she was too busy admiring herself to pay them any attention, Xiang Xueer quickened her pace and successfully crossed Naihe Bridge.
Next was getting on the boat. Just then, the Woodcutter was still by the shore. As the two approached, the Woodcutter looked at them with a puzzled expression and asked, "At this hour, you two Ghost Messengers are still going out to work?"
"Yes, yes! It's been busy lately, and even the King of Hell doesn't give overtime pay. What a hard life!" Xiang Xueer said in a hoarse voice before boarding the boat with Lian Cheng Xue. "Woodcutter, I heard that the benefits in the Underworld are about to increase. Apparently, it will depend on individual performance and assessments!"
"Really?" The Woodcutter's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He muttered to himself excitedly, "No wonder it's this late; even new Ghost Messengers are going out to work!"
With that thought in mind, he rowed even harder, probably hoping that if he performed well, he would get a raise. Xiang Xueer couldn't help but stifle her laughter along the way. Indeed, whether in ancient times or modern times, in the Underworld or in the human world, money can make ghosts do work!
As their boat swayed gently across the water, on the other side at the chaotic Reincarnation Gate, things finally calmed down. Black Wuchang managed to crawl out from the crowd and began searching for Xiang Xueer's whereabouts.
After a long time without finding any trace of her, some nearby Ghost Messengers counted the number of souls and quickly realized one was missing. They looked down at their list and exclaimed in shock, "Oh no! The one named Lian Cheng Xue is missing!"
Black Wuchang's vision darkened with anger as his face turned pale. "I knew it! I knew this woman was trouble; she actually took someone away secretly!"
"What should we do?" A few Ghost Messengers started to panic. "This has never happened before. Should we report it to Lord Lu?"
Oh no! If this gets reported up top, my secret of bringing Xiang Xueer here will be exposed. The punishment will be severe; I might not even keep my life! He turned sternly to glare at the other Ghost Messengers. "Don't shout about this everywhere! If others find out, we won't be able to escape!"
"What, what should we do? How can we cover this up? We are missing a ghost!" A few people were a bit scared, but they didn't know how to handle the situation.
Black Wuchang walked up to several Ghost Messengers and whispered a few words, "You all go secretly get a newly arrived ghost from somewhere else. Just make sure no one knows about it; it should be done without anyone noticing!"
Upon hearing this, the others thought it was feasible, so they quickly split up to take action. Black Wuchang was filled with anger; the whole situation with Meng Po was orchestrated by this Dead Girl, and he felt like he had fallen into a trap.
"Damn Dead Girl, just wait! If you have the ability, don't die. If you do die, I will definitely not let you off!" Black Wuchang cursed fiercely. He had made a deal himself and felt guilty; he could only handle this quietly.
Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue safely reached the shore. The two looked at each other and smiled. Along the way, the vibrant red spider lilies bloomed brilliantly. As long as they crossed this sea of flowers, they would reach the gates of the Underworld, and victory was in sight.
Xiang Xueer never expected things would go so smoothly. However, when they reached the gate, they encountered an obstacle—the legendary ' Chimeras and Specters ' four little gatekeepers.
"It's already past time; you can't leave!" One of the shorter gatekeepers scrutinized them for a while before looking up and asking, "Chi, why haven't I seen these two Ghost Messengers before?"
Next to him stood a very tall gatekeeper who squinted at her and said, "Mei, who said that? Aren't these Ghost Armor and Gui Yi?"
On the right side, a chubby gatekeeper with a big belly laughed and said, "Nonsense! Wang, these are clearly Ghost Mane and Ghost Ray. Are you seeing things?"
The last one was a thin Skin and Bones gatekeeper who confidently shook his head: "You're all wrong. It's Gui Bian and Exorcism. I bet five taels of silver." After saying that, he held up three fingers in front of them.
Hehe! Xiang Xueer looked expressionlessly at these four confused gatekeepers. So this is what the legendary ' Chimeras and Specters ' four little ghosts look like? With their varying heights and sizes, one might think they were a mismatched furniture set. However, with such intelligence, they were destined to only be gatekeepers for life.
