Chapter 4: 04. Now that the old business is finished, go bring that boy here.

After the voice fell not even that troublemaker Yin Bolin dared to lift his eyes off the ground in front of him.

Bo Youfei gathers his courage and walks in, Heng Taio follows shortly after and Yin Bolin, this idler, also decides to follow.

They stop in front of a throne and sitting on it is a fresh-faced young boy. At first glance, the boy looks about 14-15, he has dark red hair, he has a baby face, sculpted nose and is even wearing an earring, he gives off a rebellious air. His phoneix eyes, that are adorned with eyeliner, are trained on the white figure in the center and he squints lightly, anger can be seen in those eyes.

It seems almost unbelievable that such an imposing presence is released from such a young boy, the contrast is spectacular. But the three men in front are not surprised at all, they show a very solemn attitude, and they all bow respectfully.

Bo Youfei falls to his knee, kowtows, and says:

 “This unworthy subject greets King Yama.” There are tears of grievance in his eyes.

Heng Taio falls to his knees right after and he says:

“King Yama, Bo Youfei knows that he has made serious mistakes, however he turned himself in and his punishment should reflect his desire to atone.”

Yin Bolin felt that he should not be the only one standing so he also fell to his knees. He feels aggrieved, he came to watch a good show and now he is here kneeling with these two idiots. Sure enough, being an idler does not suit him.

 King Yama sighs and says in a very displeased voice:

 “I have not even made an accusation and you are already making a scene. If Granny Meng sees you crying, then she will really believe I am bullying you.”

King Yama heard what Granny Meng said to Bo Youfei on the bridge, this is his place, his Underworld, he knows all that is going on, and Granny Meng is also aware. Why else did she spout all that nonsense, it was because she knew he could hear. Honestly, he is the King, she should respect him and not treat him as an overbearing bully. Of course, he would never say that to her face, that old woman is too scary and too thick faced, she cannot be reasoned with. Her tea is also quite delicious, and he would hate it if some oblivion soup would “accidentally” mix in, as for not drinking her tea, that thought never crossed his mind, he likes her tea, okay?

“Stand up, all of you, just stand up.” King Yama orders.

Then he says to Bo Youfei:

“Youfei, you have been a supervisor for the Underworld for thousands of years. Your loyalty is the reason I am here to listen what transpired and you are not sent to the 18 hells to experience their hospitality.”

The three men then stand up and Bo Youfei begins to recount what he experienced over 80 years ago.

Bo Youfei was going to collect the soul of an old friend. She was one of the administrators of his region and has worked with her countless of times, her time finally reached its end and he wanted to escort her soul and send her to Samsara to reincarnate. Because her cooperation with the Underworld she would reincarnate into a happy and rich girl who never encountered any difficulties, and he was happy for her, he always enjoyed their chats whenever they met.

Bo Youfei went to her house, but as soon as he entered the living room he was frozen in place and a force cut off his perception of the Underworld. He realized something was wrong, but he could not move or contact anyone.

In front of him was his old friend, she was dying, but it was not a natural death that was expected. Her body was aging fast, the seal on her forehead was flickering and her soul was being sucked inside the seal. The seal was given to her by himself, each supervisor has administrators working in their regions to help them collect souls and subdue the rogue and malevolent souls. But the seal is just a contract, a way for her use the Underworld’s power and escort souls, it should have no effect on the soul and should never harm her.

The formation on the living room floor starts to glow softly, from the light of the glow he now notices some people in dark robes circling the formation. He hears them repeating something quietly, even though Youfei does not understand what is going on, he knows that whatever it is does not bode well for him.

The old woman in the middle looks at him sadly and whispers an apology, she understands that these people will somehow use her to hurt Bo Youfei and is saddened, she prays that they fail, but her prayers are not answered, her body completely turns to ashes.

Her soul and the seal merged completely, and a light appeared in place, the light shined brightly, and it resonated with his staff pulling it towards it. The staff and the light merged, the staff turned into a small stick and Bo Youfei, hearing a light hum, suddenly fainted.

Bo Youfei told King Yama that after he regained consciousness, he was in the house of the Tao family, since then he was never able to invoke his staff again, there seemed to be a shield that prevented him from approaching. Also, whomever held the staff was able to order him to do anything, he felt he was just an observer tangled in his own body that refused to listen to his orders.

When listening to the story King Yama’s face got darker and darker. He finally exploded in anger and a sudden pressure envelops the hall.

“How brave of them, they dare to suppress my subjects, they dare to mess with the laws on the Underworld. Do they think this King is some sort of vegetarian?”

He then slams his fist on the throne and sneers

“The Tao family huh? Well then, this King here will make sure they are very welcome, every member of the Tao family will enjoy a tour of each of my 18 hells, make sure they are treated as VIP’s and given every single service we offer.”

The three men were trying the best to resist the pressure, they almost fell to their knees again. When King Yama noticed that, he reined in his aura and signaled Bo Youfei to continue.

Bo Youfey then said he spent 80 years in the state of an observer, his struggles were worthless. He sent any who stood in the Tao family’s way to death, his staff was passed down as the secret Tao family treasure and no outsider was ever allowed to see it.

Then King Yama asked:

“How was the formation broken? The restriction should be an ancient forbidden art that not even I have heard of.”

Bo Youfei replied:

 “It is actually thanks to young master Tao Fenhua, he took the staff without permission, he wanted to punish and steal the treasure from a rival. Unfortunately for him this rival was someone that was able to break the restriction, took the staff from young master Tao and gave it back to me. He is someone who’s soul I was unable to command and collect, I have never met such a soul, I was even able to touch the boy’s body, it was alive and was not affected by our touch at all. It was a blessing for me to mees such an unusual young man.”

 King Yama looks interested and excited:

“A soul that the Underworld cannot affect, that is very curious, where is it? Where is the boy?”

“We rushed here to report to King Yama as soon as my restriction was broken.”

Replied Bo Youfei.

As soon as King Yama heard that he, showed am unhappy expression, so Heng Taio quickly added:

“But I branded him with my seal, as soon as Bo Youfei’s matter is resolved I could go and bring him to meet your majesty.”

“Then what are you waiting for, bring him here.”

 Ordered King Yama eagerly.

“Bo Youfei matter is not resolved yet, I want to make sure it is finalized so I can transfer his duties back, then I will go and bring the boy”

 Replied Heng Taio respectfully.

“Bah, what work? When Youfei here disappeared, who was the one that insisted he can take on the work until Youfei is found? Who said no new supervisor is needed and I should not tax myself over something trivial? Now you use work as excuse again. Heng Taio, you think I do not see though your intention?”

Replied King Yama discontented.

But Heng Taio simply kneeled back down and replied:

“I do not dare.”

“Heh”

Exclaimed King Yama, then said:

“Bo Youfei, what happened to you cannot be prevented, however many numbers of souls have also suffered because of it, you cannot escape punishment. You are fined 10 years of wages and must work in assisting the other 7 supervisors in their work.”

He then turned to Heng Taio and said:

“Now old business is finished, go bring that boy here.”

With that he flicked his sleeves, and all three men were swept out of the hall and the doors slammed in form of them.

Heng Taio cover his mouth trying to suppress his cough, a little bit of blood was trickling from the corner of his mount. Bo Youfei realized that King Yama must have been displeased and hurt Heng Taio with his aura. He quickly went to assist him, he really feels unworthy of Heng Taio’s friendship and vows to get stronger and be of help to the other in the future.

“You sure have guts, even daring to negotiate with King Yama, Heng Taio, Heng Taio. I really underestimated your stupidity.”

 Yin Bolin says with a sneer.

“Brother Taio, I promise I will get stronger so I can be of help to you. I promise to be the best brother ever.”

Bo Youfei says and smiles foolishly at Heng Taio.

“As for you, you are even stupider than a rock. Heh, what good brotherhood.”

 Yin Bolin says to Bo Youfei, he then flings his sleeves and leave, he has no desire to be such a bright bulb in such a dark Underworld.

“I am fine.”

Replies Heng Taio, he then straightens up and says:

“I will go and bring that young man to King Yama, you stay here and try not to make any more trouble.”

“Mmm, I will go visit Granny Meng.”

Replies Bo Youfei. The both of them head back out toward the Bridge of Helplessness.
