Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 585 I'm a Ghost in the Underworld, Generation 2, Part 1

"Hey? No, you guys in the underworld hire child laborers?!"

"Eh!"

"Don't ignore me, Lord Wuchang." A spirit with a pale gray face had an unusual liveliness.

Humans who understand their current situation usually either suffer in agony, regret, and desperately plead for mercy, or they are too exhausted to even think of anything to tell their descendants. Even if they remember something they need to tell their descendants, they will only dare to tentatively speak to death on the road to the underworld.

Only this person, not only was full of interest when his soul left his body, but also smiled as soon as he saw the Black and White Impermanence, teasing the Black Impermanence for looking like a child.

It was because Xiao Hei saw that this person had accomplished great deeds and was a purely kind person that he did not guard against him much, allowing him to see his face directly. Without external embellishment or concealment, the youthful appearance of Hei Wuchang could not be hidden.

"My Lord, forgive me for asking, but do you think there are any suitable jobs for me in the underworld?" the spirit persistently pestered Xiao Hei for an answer.

"High merit leads to a good rebirth in the next life." This saying is meant to remind the person not to have any other thoughts, but to obediently enter the cycle of reincarnation and enjoy the blessings of the next life.

"My lord..." The young man's spirit paused for a moment, then said, "I don't want to be human anymore, nor do I want to be a beast."

"Then save your words for the judge." Little Black's patience was wearing thin as he was kept up by the male spirit, who always made him hallucinate the tragic scenes he had witnessed.

"Lord Wuchang, if the judge agrees, could I possibly be assigned to work under either of you?" He was quite shrewd, able to see at a glance the difference in status between the Black and White Impermanence, or perhaps he intuitively confirmed that the Black Impermanence was kind-hearted.

"I don't know."

"Then, sir, you must put in a good word for me."

"Stop!" Little Black's head was buzzing. He pointed at his partner walking in front and said, "Why are you always bothering me? Can't you ask the other Lady Wuchang? She's much more popular than me."

The soul was somewhat stunned and stole a glance in front of it.

Xiao Hei rubbed his forehead, the boy's voice almost losing its composure, revealing a hint of childishness.

Xia Youmi, lost in thought, did not turn back.

but,

The unusually lively spirit's whispered words to Xiao Hei couldn't escape Xia Youmi's ears.

"Lord Wuchang... I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Hei asked, looking around in confusion. Xiao Bai seemed normal today; despite her chilling attire that matched the atmosphere, it didn't diminish her beauty. She was someone everyone in the underworld, from Yama to wasps, loved. Although there were Heavenly Officials and Ghost Emperors above Yama, those were not people the Impermanence of the Underworld would have the privilege of meeting.

"I...I've never held a girl's hand in my entire life..." The young man's soul said somewhat shyly. "Just now, just now, Lord White Impermanence placed his hand on my head, saying that even death would be worthwhile, and I would have no regrets in this life!"

"No wonder," Xiao Hei murmured.

He wondered why the kid's face turned bright red when he was being seduced. His face was a bluish-gray color, showing no change, but in just a few breaths, it revealed his excitement, embarrassment, disappointment, satisfaction, pride, and restraint.

It turns out that he had fulfilled his lifelong wish after death, which is why he was too ashamed to approach her.

"Little White, what a mess! I've lost count of how many people you've bewitched." Little Black sighed slowly, looking ahead.

"Oh no, no! My lord, why did you say it out loud?" The spirit waved its hands excitedly, trying to cover its intentions.

"Cough, it's alright, I've seen it all before." With Xiao Bai having a good show to watch, Xiao Hei perked up considerably and started chatting back and forth with the young man's soul.

Xia Youmi never turned around, not because she was maintaining her aloof and ghostly persona, but because she had finally come into contact with something related to the main plot and was calculating how long it would take for the male and female protagonists to be born in this small place.

Who would have thought that in such a thick book with such a vast world, she would only have no more than three connections to the plot?

Two of these events haven't been mentioned in the book yet. One is through the female protagonist's memories, and the other is in the present. By capturing keywords, she determined that the target of this soul-summoning was in a rural town when he died, and that a female protagonist would be born soon to become his successor.

The successor refers to taking over the position of the person in front of him, becoming a well-known philanthropist in the surrounding area. However, such philanthropists, despite their young age and numerous hardships, only have a good reputation and do not live past the age of thirty.

It's not closely related; it's the only plot point in Xia Youmi's three years in this world.

They didn't encounter any accidents until the soul was escorted to the Gates of Hell and handed over to Ox-Head and Horse-Face for further examination in the King of Hell's Palace. Only then were the Black and White Impermanence considered to have completed their mission.

After signing out, the two of them headed towards the Impermanent Camp in the northeast corner of the outer city.

Along the way, many ghost messengers took the initiative to greet them, while Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai smiled with straight faces, appearing unfathomable.

However, this was not their true intention; it was merely a set of rules "inherited" from the previous Black and White Impermanence, and they were simply following orders. After all, their predecessors had been so diligent and hardworking, holding onto their lowly official positions for over a thousand years, that they were suddenly promoted to an unattainable level.

The underworld officials all showed them great respect, and naturally, the second-generation Black and White Impermanence, whom they had personally selected, also received their favor.

Having enjoyed the blessing, the two Impermanent Beings, now known as "Little Black" and "Little White," obeyed their elders' words without any resentment. Even when it was just a joke from their elders, who affectionately called themselves "Old Black" and "Old White," Little Black and Little White did as they were told.

To be able to serve as the leader of this Impermanent Camp and obtain the titles of "Black" and "White," one must have undergone countless tests. It requires several lifetimes of honest and hardworking conduct, as well as a steady mind and keen insight to be qualified for the position.

Therefore,

Even if ordinary ghost messengers feel something is strange, they will not question whether there is anything wrong, and they will naturally get used to the way the second-generation Black and White Impermanence act.

Not to mention, with the tall and short girls paired with the little boy, no one would feel wary.

What they fear is the exalted position of the previous generation, and what they cherish is the purity and goodness of this generation.

In short, Xia Youmi and Xiao Hei have had a pretty good experience since taking office. Apart from some spirits questioning Xiao Hei's age and being attracted by Xiao Bai's beautiful appearance, they haven't encountered any major troubles.

Even if things don't go well, there are still the various Kings of Hell, most of whom have a slight tendency to favor their own. They are quite gratified that the ghost messengers they once promoted are appreciated and given important positions in the underworld.

Several elders have said with a smile that if you encounter any tricky or difficult situations, just go to them for help.

Little Black and Little White could only obediently agree, waiting for the day they could cry and plead their case once or twice, first establishing a bond of gratitude, so that these people waiting to rise to prominence could be seen by a higher being.

They all died at a young age, but after spending only a year in the underworld, they had thoroughly mastered the rules.

Some veteran constables who had spent most of their lives adapting better than them, and their cultivation was even more diligent, with their magical artifacts never faltering or causing any embarrassment. Even if the ghost messengers only liked them because of their appearance, their confidence stemmed from the fact that they had never been outmatched in strength.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Xia Youmi asked instinctively when she saw Xiao Hei enter her territory without realizing it. However, she quickly understood what Xiao Hei meant and sighed helplessly, "No way, with the body of a seven-year-old child, has his mind changed back?"

That was the look of someone unable to resist temptation.

"Hey, Little White, compared to the age at which we died, I'm still seven months older than you. Don't worry, I won't make you the older sister!" Little Black, with its short legs, moved nimbly and used its magic to throw itself onto its exclusive guest seat, revealing an expectant look in its eyes. It then said, "Good sister, hurry, let me taste this delicious food."

"What's the rush?" Xia Youmi prepared the food at a leisurely pace. It looked no different from ordinary incense ash, but once you tasted it, you would understand its wonderful taste. It was delicious and could also increase your magical power. It was specially made for her every year.

One day, Xiao Hei caught a whiff of it and became obsessed with the scent, always trying to exchange it for all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Xia Youmi wanted to continue working with him, so she didn't mind.

“Speaking of which, you seemed to have some unusual feelings for that person today.” Xiao Hei thought of the young man who was last sent in, and it made no sense that Xiao Bai would be so indifferent to his shyness and not respond at all.

Although Xiaobai wasn't very lively, he wasn't particularly depressed or negative either; in fact, he would often crack a joke at him.

So, it was that person who was wrong.

Xiao Hei noticed it keenly.

"What's so strange? I'm thinking about something else." Xia Youmi said in a very ordinary tone, lighting today's incense stick.

“That’s true.” Xiao Hei took a deep breath and said, “You definitely wouldn’t like someone as clingy as him. I thought he was some lover reincarnated! I guess I was just overthinking it.”

"Heh, you've got a good prediction." Xiao Hei always managed to shut Xia Youmi down with his honesty, which she was used to.

"Speaking of lovers, shouldn't your lover be celebrating his birthday?" Xiao Hei asked this question out of the blue. Xia Youmi didn't remember having any lovers. It was probably just an excuse she made up last year when she wanted to wander around the mortal world.

"Which one are you talking about?" Xia Youmi asked back.

"Which one?" Xiao Hei was momentarily speechless. "You need to take a number."

"Yes, there's one every month, I can't remember exactly." Xia Youmi lied through her teeth and laughed, "You can help me remember so I can take a look every month."

“You are bullying a child, that is unacceptable.”

"Yo."

At this point, they are willing to admit that they act as children.

Their eyes darted around, and before they knew it, they were both laughing.
