Great, we're doomed now!

"I'm not in the mood right now. Can you tell me where the Queen is quickly?"

"I was serious."

Ye Shou said in a serious tone, "I swallowed her while fighting the enemy."

"Don't kid me! You couldn't even open your mouth in that form!"

"Actually, I can open my mouth, but I don't usually speak in order to maintain a cool and mysterious image."

Ye Shouwen explained, "Don't be fooled by the fact that the giant form is an energy life form; it can actually eat."

"I'm not interested in those obscure facts!"

Little Black scratched frantically on the floor with its paws: "You ate it? You really ate it? Oh my god... what should we do?"

Can you spit it out? Like the Monkey King, or like Athena?

Please, at least get it out of your mouth, and don't go to the toilet!

...Ye Shou felt that he had been misunderstood.

Despite having an inappropriate habit in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"—such as urinating and defecating anywhere, beating up a centenarian, juggling multiple relationships, having an illegitimate daughter he didn't even know about, and liking to run over his teammates with a Jeep—he has always been a well-mannered and civilized kid.

When the Shadow Mage and the Shadow Mage were exchanging harsh words, they certainly appeared somewhat cold-blooded, but it was all just empty talk.

In most cases, he is a very humane boss, and he would never allow his subordinates to lose face when they make a plea.

He simply used his superpowers to make his hand appear ethereal and enter his body, slowly extracting the ball of light.

call out!

The ball of light flew into the sky and immediately shone brightly. Then, a magnificent figure slowly descended. Without any formalities, the first thing he did upon landing was to wave his long sleeves and bow to Ye Shou.

"I am the Queen of the Underworld, and my name is Izanami."

"Hero of this world...may I hear your name?"

"Your Majesty!" Little Black lowered its head, its tail drooping down.

Jinglong bowed in respect, and even Beelzebub knelt down to show his respect. For a moment, only she and Ye Shou were standing in the room.

The Queen first glanced at Xiao Hei with approval and a hint of regret, then turned back to face the young man.

"Kusei Yoshinori, I won't take credit. After all, this incident is related to me. I'm determined to eliminate the mastermind behind it all. You were just rescued by chance."

"I have lived for twenty million years and no longer care about such things. As long as the outcome is just, the hero should be rewarded."

The queen wore a golden mask, but it seemed to possess biological characteristics. Sensing the queen's emotions, the corners of its mouth even curled up.

"Of course, it seems rather ridiculous for someone who has just been rescued to say such things to a strong person like you."

"I am serious. Although hell is not heaven, it can still accommodate many wishes... and generally speaking, they can be fulfilled."

"That's not a good idea."

Ye Shou pondered for a moment: "Usually, I'm the one who fulfills other people's wishes."

"..."

Queen Huangquan was startled and subconsciously looked at Xiao Hei. The black cat cleverly walked to the queen's side and whispered a few words to her. Although her true expression was unclear, one could sense that the queen's emotions had undergone several major shifts.

"...Oh, I see."

The Queen nodded slightly, and said with some difficulty, "But if that's the case, how can I repay this life-saving grace?"

"Don't worry about it. As long as you manage Hell well, there will be many human and non-human souls coming down in the future... Then we'll have to trouble Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there's no one in hell—"

When the Queen of the Underworld saw Ye Shou, she remembered the scene of him shooting her in anger before, and quickly changed her words: "There is almost no need to worry. The reason why I was hit this time was because that Shadow Mage used the power of a certain evil god to ambush me in the dream."

In a head-on fight, it would be no match for me!

"That's good."

Ye Shou nodded, turned to Xiao Hei, and asked seriously, "Do you want to stay?"

Xiao Hei paused, then suddenly remembered this question: "Logically speaking, I am now a 'living monster' rather than a ghost or god..."

"Don't worry, I'm just asking for your opinion."

Ye Shou smiled: "Kuze Group is not a heartless company. That shrine was originally set up to suppress Ryoumen Sukuna. It is no longer important. You can go back or resign if you want."

"..."

Little Black's brain raced, flashing back to all sorts of past events. Although Ye Shou had treated it very well, the countless years it had spent in hell made it especially nostalgic.

It much prefers to boil the brains of sinners in a big iron pot rather than be surrounded by children begging for hugs...

Furthermore, the treatment in Hell is quite good. Although the leaders aren't as good as Ye Shou, they're still quite competent. For example, King Yama—

"However, if I'm going back to the underworld, I'll tell Liuli to have the finance department settle your salary, bonuses, and subsidies, and you'll also have to take your insurance and pension accounts with you... By the way, which department in hell is responsible for receiving them?"

"I want to go back to the real world!"

—I blurted it out unconsciously, then quickly shut up as I came to my senses, and regretted it in my heart.

Little Black, Little Black, how could you be so depraved? A dignified assistant of Hell should naturally find pleasure in torturing sinners and tormenting evil spirits, how could you indulge in the gentle pleasures of this world?

What's so good about shrines?

All day long, a bunch of girls in high school come over and take pictures of themselves as the "mascot," and there are also families who look happy and content coming over to interact with them... It's really annoying.

Just being enveloped in that warm, soft atmosphere made it feel like it was about to burn!

The lava pools in hell filled with the bones of all sorts of monsters are still better~

"I think I'll stay..." Xiao Hei said hesitantly.

At this moment, the Queen glanced at the corpse of the demon beside her: "Hozuki-kun, your demon body is severely damaged. Even if you are reborn, you will lose a lot of your cultivation. But your current cat demon body can still be considered exceptionally talented... You have finally been given a second life, so don't waste it."

You should know that needlessly harming your own life is a sin, punishable by rebirth in the coldest hells.

“…I understand, Your Majesty.”

"However, if you are worried, I can grant you special permission to leave a dedicated passage in the mortal world so that you can easily return to either end."

The Queen looked at Ye Shou and smiled, "In that case, if there is any trouble in the mortal world that affects the balance of life and death, we will also lend you a hand."

"it is good!"

Ye Shou immediately extended his hand: "It's a deal!"

"A handshake? This is the first time I've experienced such a Western etiquette."

……

Ye Shou and Jing Long have left, and Beelzebub has also returned to the mortal world. He may leave the side of a certain Grim Reaper in a while and return to the EU Hell.

Only Xiao Hei stayed behind specifically to help Queen Huangquan quickly clean up the mess in Hell. Ye Shou even calculated overtime pay for it. Jiu Shi Group uses a progressive system, meaning the longer the overtime, the higher the compensation per hour.

In other words, even if Xiao Hei does nothing in hell, the numbers in his account keep increasing.

Thinking about this, Xiao Hei felt that Ye Shou was truly a perfect owner~

"They say that times create heroes. Now that so many powerful warriors have emerged, it must be time to usher in a new era..."

The Queen of the Underworld sighed, deeply worried about the future: "However, with Kuze Yoru protecting the mortal world, ordinary people are no match for us."

“You are right. He has now gathered a group of like-minded people and is preparing to unite all mankind to fight against the great enemy.”

"That's amazing!"

Whether it's myself or the world... we can never thank him enough.

Unfortunately, he lacked nothing.

Queen Huangquan changed the subject: "Really not?"

"What?"

Does he have no worries in his life?

"Troubles?" Xiao Hei thought for a moment, "If I had to say, it would only be that I'm destined to have many romantic entanglements."

"Peach blossoms... Oh, I see."

The Queen of the Underworld raised her hand, and several broken magic seals appeared in her palm, floating up and down.

"He shattered the impure world's mirror image of reincarnation... just as expected."

As the seal dissipated, a few slender red lines appeared and disappeared in the void, swaying gently in the Queen's hand.

"There are so many red threads, even though it's just a dream and will disappear over time... Ah! That's right!"

"?"

Upon hearing this sound, Xiao Hei immediately became alert:

The Queen of the Underworld is not a kind person at all!

This is one of the oldest known bitter women in human history!

If there are no external enemies, then we must guard against her taking the initiative to cause trouble!

"I'll take out the marriage fortune slip that the gods gave me."

A marriage fortune slip?

"A young girl's love is like an unripe fruit, sweet and sour with a hint of bitterness. Such a complex and wonderful flavor must be incredibly enjoyable—how can we let it disappear?"

The Queen of the Underworld smiled and said, "I've made up my mind."

"Can I ask what the decision was?"

"The red thread of fate will turn from illusion to reality—this feeling and dream are something young girls can't forget even if they want to."

Hehe, I want to see bloodshed...and a romantic comedy!

"...So you're still resentful that he beat you up, aren't you?"

"What, you have a problem with that?"

"If you eat someone else's food, you can't smash their pot!"

Although they're not dogs, cats also understand the meaning of loyalty and righteousness!

Xiao Hei was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Could you tie the red thread of 'Yotsu Miko' tighter than others?"
