A master of comedy!

Zhou Sheng looked at the other person's face, their eyes met, and for a moment they felt quite awkward.

Strictly speaking, the other party was by no means ugly. On the contrary, he had a decent appearance and a refined temperament. He just looked a bit older than his age. The eighteen-year-old young man looked like he was thirty.

“Baozi said that you are the most likely Yin Xi master he has ever met to surpass Yu Zhensheng. I didn’t believe it at first, but after observing you for a while, I found that he was right again.”

Tan Sheng shook his head and smiled. He was usually serious and rigid, but he would only show a bit of youthful vigor when he mentioned Bao Ying.

"You're also Bao Ying's friend?"

He nodded: "Baozi has many friends in the underworld, but few in the mortal world. Coincidentally, I happen to be one of those few."

"Since he trusts you, then I will trust you too."

"Whatever you're going to do next, include me in your plans if I can help you."

As Zhou Sheng listened to his frank and sincere words, he couldn't help but feel a certain touch in his heart.

The image of him helping the elderly defecate at the nursing home and licking the last grain of rice from the bottom of the bowl during meals resurfaced in my mind.

His dark skin bore the marks of time, but his eyes were exceptionally sincere and clear.

So many people, having descended to the underworld, have reached out to Bao Ying without any reservations, and have even revealed their life-saving secrets because of him.

Bao Ying seems to possess some kind of invisible magic.

……

"At the fourth watch of the night, it was freezing cold!"

Outside, the watchman struck his gong, the clear and loud sound stirring the hearts of many who had stayed up all night.

Upon hearing the night watchman's gong, Bao Ying's eyes flickered with a hint of emotion. He murmured, "It's the fourth watch. It's the deepest and coldest time of night, but if we can hold on until then, the darkness will give way to light."

"I wonder how things are going with Boss Long?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew into the room, and a hurried sound came from the burning incense smoke.

"Steamed bun, hurry up! The Black and White Impermanence are here to see you!"

Bao Ying was slightly taken aback, showing surprise and confusion.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by a hoarse and sinister voice.

"Black and White Impermanence, seeking an audience with Bao Ying, a descendant of Bao Gong."

After a pause, they added, "We brothers came here to deliver a message for Boss Long."

The voice from within the fragrant mist continued to advise, "Baozi, don't believe them. They've tried to kill Zhou Sheng multiple times along the way, so why would they help him deliver a message?"

"Let's get out of here quickly, while the talismans blocking the doorway are blocking our way!!"

Bao Ying did not move. After a moment's thought, he walked towards the door, as if he wanted to open it himself.

"The fact that they were able to find this place means that Boss Long revealed it, and Fourteen Sister also sent word that Boss Long saved everyone in the Yellow Springs. They made a special trip to the human world to repay this kindness and avenge their drowning."

"But aren't you afraid that Zhou Sheng might betray us when things are exposed?"

The voice from within the fragrant mist continued to persuade.

Bao Ying shook his head and said firmly, "Some people, even if you've only met them once, are absolutely trustworthy."

“Since Boss Long believes in them, then I will believe in them too.”

After saying that, he resolutely tore off the talisman, opened the door, and calmly looked at the deadly messenger that terrified the world, and said with a smile, "Please come in and talk, gentlemen."

The Black and White Impermanence, looking at this extraordinary descendant of Bao Gong, also bowed respectfully.

Although the current King of Hell is no longer Bao Gong, whether in the mortal world or the underworld, who can help but feel a sense of respect when the name of the incorruptible and upright Bao Qingtian is mentioned?
Moreover, Bao Gong had been operating in the underworld for many years and had promoted many underworld deities. Even if he had disappeared now, this favor would still fall on Bao Gong's descendants.

Upon entering the room, the Black and White Impermanence did not waste any words and immediately conveyed all the messages Zhou Sheng wanted to deliver.

When Bao Ying heard what Zhou Sheng was planning to do, even the usually fearless Bao Ying couldn't help but gasp and his pupils dilated. "Boss Long said that although this matter is dangerous, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"He's holding them back in the underworld, giving you a chance to make your move in the mortal realm. If you succeed, you can eliminate Judge Lu in one fell swoop!"

When the words "get rid of Judge Lu" were mentioned, the Black and White Impermanence were still somewhat dazed.

Somehow, the two brothers ended up on Zhou Sheng's treacherous ship, plotting to harm a dignified judge of the underworld. If their scheme is exposed, they will both suffer the consequences.

But the temptation Zhou Sheng offered was just too great.

The merit of slaying the Yellow Demon God is enough to secure their positions as judges of the Impermanent Realm. Moreover, as Boss Long said, if Judge Lu dies, Judge Wei will be the only judge in charge.

As Wei Pan's right-hand men, the two brothers would inevitably rise in rank and gain even greater power.

"Anyway, we brothers have delivered the message. Whether you believe it or not, whether you do it or not, is up to you."

After saying this, the Black and White Impermanence turned into a gust of wind and disappeared.

Bao Ying slowly closed his eyes, as if he were making a crucial decision.

"Steamed buns, we can't make them!"

The voice from within the fragrant mist was very solemn, saying, "There are too many suspicious points in this matter. First, how did Zhou Sheng suddenly know Lu Pan's weakness? Is this information reliable? Could it be a trap?"

"Secondly, this matter is completely outside our plan. Zhou Sheng is acting on impulse, and it is very likely to disrupt the overall deployment!"

Bao Ying opened her eyes and nodded, saying, "What you said makes a lot of sense."

The voice finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I'll still do it."

"……Why?"

"Because this is the opportunity he risked his life to win for us."

Bao Ying slowly stood up, his dark skin revealing an unusually bright and determined look in his eyes.

"The key to the success of this plan lies with us, but the real danger lies in the underworld. Boss Long is risking his life to rid those wronged souls of this great scourge."

Having said that, he did not hesitate any longer and immediately summoned his men to give the order.

"Tell the brothers to pack their gear and march 800 li at breakneck speed. We must reach the Judge Temple in Yunguanbao before dawn!"

"promise!"

Bao Ying whistled, and suddenly the sound of hooves rang out in the night. A ghostly horse with ghostly fire flickering in its eyes galloped up and stopped in front of him.

Bao Ying mounted his horse and pulled on the reins to ride away.

"Wait a moment!"

A figure emerged from the fragrant mist under the moonlight. It was an elderly man with a cane, who earnestly advised, "Baozi, you are good in every way, except that you are too trusting of others."

"Have you considered that if it really is a trap, wouldn't all your years of hard work have been wasted?"

Bao Ying, however, just smiled nonchalantly.

"Uncle Gongsun, even if it really is a trap, how can I refuse a friend's invitation?"

After saying that, he pulled on the reins, and as if transformed into a whirlwind, he rushed headlong into the night without hesitation, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

The old man, leaning on his cane and with a refined face, watched Bao Ying's departing figure, a trace of fragmented memories appearing in his eyes.

It was as if an old door, sealed for countless years, had suddenly and slowly opened.

"Bao Heitan, Bao Heitan, over the years, he is the most like you, and also the least like you."
