The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 122 Hard work... gets easier the more you do it
[The Underworld]

Yan Lan helped Meng Po to distribute "Meng Po Soup" for several days in a row. She thought she could get away from it as long as she got off work. Who would have thought that Meng Po never got off work at all...

She went from being extremely active in distributing "Meng Po Soup" in the beginning to being passive later on, and her tone of voice was no longer polite.

From a distance, Yan Lan could clearly hear the Ox-Headed Horse admonishing the new ghosts who had just crossed the Naihe Bridge: "When you get to Meng Po, drink the bowl of soup in the princess's hand obediently and don't anger her. Remember, whether in the mortal world or the underworld, you can't afford to offend creatures like 'women'."

The new ghosts were frightened by the words of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Ghost. When they came to Yan Lan, they saw that she looked bad and drank the soup consciously.

The people in front did not dare to look directly at Yan Lan and directly took the soup handed to them by Meng Po. Only a few who were not afraid of death walked straight towards the beautiful underworld princess Yan Lan.

"I didn't expect... that there are such beautiful female ghosts in the underworld! It seems that the saying 'To die under the peony flowers, to be a romantic ghost' is really true. There are indeed beauties in the underworld, and my old friend was not deceiving me!" A male ghost walking over in the queue exclaimed.

"What are you talking about? That's the princess..."

The other male ghost saw Yan Lan's face darken, and tactfully said to Yan Lan: "Greetings...Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Yan Lan glanced at him and handed him a bowl of "Meng Po Soup".

"Thank you, Princess." The male ghost took the soup tremblingly and drank it all in one gulp.

It was the turn of another male ghost. He glanced at Yan Lan with a smile on his face, whistled, ruffled his hair, and said, "Hi! Beautiful girl, nice to meet you, my name is Tom. What's your name?"

It's not that Yan Lan didn't understand, she just didn't want to pay attention to him. She waved her hand and conjured a "ghost whip" and swung it a few times. She glanced at the "Meng Po Soup" on the table and asked him coldly: "Do you want to drink it yourself or do you want me to help you?"

The whip hit the ground with a harsh and crisp sound. The male ghost trembled suddenly, looked at Yan Lan guiltily, and took the initiative to pick up the bowl of "Meng Po Soup" on the table.

"Princess, please pay attention to your service attitude..." Meng Po, who was standing by, saw the ghosts trembling with fear and quickly reminded them.

Yan Lan was already unhappy, and after Meng Po's words, she whipped the ghosts even harder, then smiled and said to the male ghosts, "Just drink your fill and move forward, and you won't get beaten! The next one..."

Her whip is not useless. The next round of evil ghosts that sneak in without being noticed by the ghost officials are the ones who deserve a beating.

The Black and White Impermanence captured seven or eight evil ghosts with serious sins and ordered them to be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell. When the executioner was not careful, the ghosts sneaked out and mixed into the team of reincarnated ghosts, preparing to be reincarnated without anyone noticing.

When they arrived in front of Yan Lan, the evil spirits deliberately concealed their strong "vicious spirit" and obediently picked up the "Meng Po Soup" on the table and prepared to drink it.

"Princess! The one with red light in the black air is a fierce ghost, you can't let him go!"

The executioner ghost official chased to the Naihe Bridge, shouting at Yan Lan as he chased.

Fierce ghost?

Upon hearing the voice, Yan Lan looked at all the ghosts lined up in front of him with his "fiery eyes", and found a ghost with red light on his body. He grasped the "ghost whip" in his hand and swung it up three or two times.

When several evil spirits saw that they were discovered, they wanted to take Yan Lan as hostage. However, she swung the "ghost whip" in her hand, and they were instantly covered with wounds.

In the end, the "Meng Po Soup" was not drunk, and several evil ghosts were caught by the executioner and ended up going to hell.

……

When the next round of new ghosts came to Naihe Bridge, the Bull-Headed Horse gave them this advice: "Just drink the soup and move on, talk less, and avoid physical pain."

As new ghosts passed by one after another, Yan Lan became less and less interested. At first he was enthusiastic, then he became passive, and then he was even unwilling to stand up and whip.

Yan Lan conjured up a bench next to Meng Po's stall, leaned sideways, closed his eyes and rested for a while.

The ghosts queuing up for soup drank their soup one after another in an orderly manner and left. Each ghost was very conscious and would not cut in line.

Although Yan Lan closed her eyes, she kept swinging the "Ghost Whip" in her hand.

The new ghosts all used the whip in her hand as a signal. If the whip was swinging, they were all safe; if the whip stopped, they were definitely in trouble.

"Please drink the soup, and don't be sad about the past. After a bowl of soup, you will be rich in the next life. The past life is gone like a cloud of smoke, and the next life will be good again."

Meng Po was still very professional in saying her classic lines, and she even handed the "Meng Po Soup" to people personally, which was in sharp contrast to Yan Lan's service attitude.

Occasionally, there are a few ghosts who are too obsessed and, for the sake of their other half and the so-called promise of "waiting for three years on the Naihe Bridge", are unwilling to drink the "Mengpo Soup" and jump into the Forgetful River.

Yan Lan was startled when she heard the noise. She looked at the ghosts being tortured in the Wangchuan River, shook her head sympathetically, and said, "Why bother? After entering the Wangchuan River, you can't leave the river and reincarnate for a thousand years. After three years, you either wait until she finds a new love, or wait until she crosses the Naihe Bridge and reincarnates alone. After a thousand years, you may meet her, but... she may have agreed to a 'three-year period' with someone else."

After hearing Yan Lan's words, the old veterans in the Wangchuan River were extremely angry, but they also fully agreed with her.

It was because they did not believe what Meng Po said that they ended up suffering in the Forgetful River for hundreds of years.

The new ghosts who had just gone down were subjected to the torture of being chained and bitten by fish. They were thinking of their loved ones in their hearts, full of expectations, and did not believe Yan Lan's words at all.

Seeing how they risked their lives for the woman they loved, Yan Lan thought of Yue Yang who had cruelly left her.

"Princess." Seeing Yan Lan was secretly distressed, Meng Po called her with some heartache.

After all, Yan Lan grew up in her side, so Meng Po still has some feelings for her.

Yan Lan thought Meng Po was reminding her to "work hard" again, so she lay back on the bench without saying a word, her mind full of memories of her and Yue Yang's time together.

Their daily routine is simple, just grilling fish by the Wangchuan River, taking a walk on the Yellow Springs Road, enjoying the scenery on the Naihe Bridge, and looking at the bustling world from the Wangxiang Terrace.

Occasionally, when they saw that Meng Po was too busy, they would come and help her.

"Princess." Meng Po called again.

Yan Lan was very unhappy, but she still stood up again, but still didn't say anything.

"If you are tired, go back and rest. If the King of Hell asks, I will excuse the princess." Meng Po said as she scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to the ghosts queuing in front of her.

Yan Lan was waiting for this sentence. She was holding a bowl of soup and was about to hand it over, but upon hearing this, she immediately put the soup back on the table.

"Thank you, Meng Po."

After Yan Lan finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared.
