"Lord Li...Lord Li...where...is this?"

Hearing Ling Yue's trembling voice, Li Siqi finally realized, "Excuse me, Ms. Ling, I forgot you're a person, wait a moment."

Ling Yue: ……

Then Li Siqi cast a barrier on Ling Yue, like a transparent protective shield, enveloping Ling Yue alone.

Ling Yue then felt that the temperature around her had returned to normal. She curiously touched the transparent protective shield around her body. It didn't feel like anything, but if she poked it hard, it was curved and couldn't be broken.

"Lord Li, why is it so cold here?"

"This is an extremely cold place, how could it not be cold? This place is used to imprison the ghosts who committed heinous sins in their lives and were thrown into the Tongue-Pulling Hell after death. After the judgment is issued, these ghosts will be taken to the Tongue-Pulling Hell. This is just a temporary imprisonment place, similar to a detention center in your mortal world."

"Is Shen Cuilan being held here?"

No wonder Li Si said that in her dream the old woman kept saying she was so cold, how could she not be cold?

Ling Yue had only experienced it for less than a minute when she felt like she was about to freeze to death!

In this frozen world, every second feels like an eternity.

Ling Yue sighed once again at the old saying—accumulating virtue and doing good deeds is undoubtedly the truth.

When Li Siqi brought Ling Yue and Tianxin to find Shen Cuilan, she was curled up on the ground, trembling all over.

When Shen Cuilan saw Li Siqi, she excitedly crawled towards him.

His mouth was wide open, and he kept making "woo woo woo" sounds, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Just as Li Si described, the woman's mouth was pitch black and she had no tongue.

"Ms. Ling, this is Shen Cuilan."

"Why doesn't she have a tongue...?"

Li Siqi almost laughed when she heard Ling Yue's question.

"Ms. Ling, she's a ghost destined for the Tongue-Pulling Hell, how could she possibly have a tongue?"

"Isn't it only possible to perform this in the Hell of Tongue-Pulling?"

"You think you've come to this frigid land to enjoy yourself? Aren't you in a hurry to see her?"

Ling Yue slapped her forehead, realizing she had forgotten the important matter.

"Shen Cuilan, why are you haunting Li Si's dreams? Did she harm you when she was alive?"

When Shen Cuilan heard Li Si's name, she paused for a moment, her eyes darting away.

Then she started whimpering again.

"Wait, you mean she keeps appearing in her dreams and bothering people?"

Li Siqi's face darkened, and she stared intently at Shen Cuilan.

"I think you should have been sent to the Tongue-Pulling Hell a long time ago."

After saying that, he directly struck out with his palm in the air, and Shen Cuilan's weak soul was thrown far away by the power of the palm strike.

"How dare you harass people? Who gave you the guts?"

Ling Yue rarely saw Li Siqi so angry. "Lord Li, if Shen Cuilan goes to the Tongue-Pulling Hell, will she no longer appear in Li Si's dreams?"

"According to our investigation, Li Si is Shen Cuilan's biological daughter, who was sold by her when she was two years old."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi laughed, "I see!"

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as her going to hell. I'll report this to the City God right away. Don't worry, she will never appear in her daughter's dreams again."

"Ms. Ling, may you rest in peace."

Ling Yue also wanted to ask why Shen Cuilan continued to haunt her daughter even after her death.

Who would have thought that without any warning, they would be teleported back to the mortal realm.

And it was even sent to what appeared to be a restroom in a large shopping mall...

It's still the men's restroom...

Because I heard a lot of men screaming...

Ling Yue's mind was a complete mess, and she stumbled and ran out.

That damn Li Siqi!

Next time we meet, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!

Ling Yue glanced at the time. (Frog Fun!)

45 hours have passed since we arrived at the Underworld, and we're still rushing...

He quickly took out his phone and called Ningxia.

"Xiaxia! How is Li Si?"

Ningxia breathed a sigh of relief when she received Ling Yue's call. "Ling Yue, please come quickly! We really can't take it anymore. This sister Li Si doesn't sleep at all and is always dragging people to play cards with her. Now everyone in Ghostly Human World has dark circles under their eyes. Some of our old customers have also fallen victim to her!"

Well, it seems Li Si is really starting to go crazy.

"I called so you could tell Li Si that everything is alright and she can go to sleep now."

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days, I'll treat you to barbecue!"

"Really? Li Si can really sleep now? Whether we grill meat or not doesn't matter, the important thing is that this woman can sleep. It's all worth it!"

After hanging up the phone, watching the couples coming and going in the mall, chatting and laughing, all lovey-dovey, I suddenly missed Jing Yucheng so much…

Every day, Xiao Jia sends Jing Yucheng photos to my phone. He still lies there peacefully, eyes closed, silent...

Just as Ling Yue was lost in thought, Chu Xin called.

"Ling Yue, come to Baiyun Temple quickly! Master has emerged from seclusion!"

This is really good news. With Jia Zhengjing around, I feel like I don't have to be afraid of anything.

Ling Yue found a pastry shop in the mall and bought Jia Zhengjing's favorite peach shortbread.

They then hurried to Baiyun Temple.

Jia Zhengjing missed many important events during his seclusion, and Ling Yue couldn't wait to share them with him.

Before even entering the courtyard, you could already hear its sound.

"Master! Master! Master!"

Jia Zhengjing is still that energetic little old man.

"My ears aren't deaf yet, why are you shouting so loudly!"

"Look what I brought you?"

As soon as Jia Zhengjing saw the peach shortbread, she couldn't resist. She immediately tore open the wrapper and started eating.

"Tsk tsk, why go into seclusion for no reason? Pretending to be profound, can't even satisfy your appetite. Sigh, I think being an immortal is meaningless. I heard that immortals don't eat human food?"

With her mouth full of peach shortbread, Jia Zhengjing stammered and replied impatiently, "How would I know? I've never been a god!"

"No, isn't the ultimate goal of Taoism to attain immortality? Your ancestor, and your ancestor's ancestor, across so many generations, didn't any of them ascend to immortality?"

After finishing her meal, Jia Zhengjing patted the crumbs off her hands, looked at Ling Yue's curious face, and teased, "What? Are you going to cultivate immortality first?"

Ling Yue didn't have such grand ambitions.

That topic was dropped, and she recounted her recent experiences to her master in one go, emphasizing the matter of Li Si.

Jia Zhengjing's expression changed upon hearing this. "Where is that girl named Li Si you mentioned?"

"He's in the Ghost Realm right now, definitely catching up on sleep like crazy! What's wrong, Master?"

"This girl is lucky to have found you, otherwise she would probably be dead by now."
