In Gray Earth.
Esper sat cross-legged on the sacred tree, cultivating with closed eyes.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed, and a group of people or ghosts appeared in front of it.
Lilly's eyes curved as she said, "Hey, Esper. We meet again."
A warning bell rang in Esper's heart.
Why are they here? Do they want to dig up the sacred tree again?
Lilly sensed its thoughts and said, "Don't worry, we're not here to dig up the sacred tree. We just want to catch up."
Esper remained skeptical and watched them warily.
Lilly took out a box of dried fish. "Didn't we just celebrate Christmas? Grandma usually dries a lot of fish. She asked me to bring these to you."
This was not a lie. Bettany would often sun-dry pickles and fish when she had time.
Gradually, a considerable amount had accumulated.
When Lilly left, Bettany asked her to bring the dried fish to the cats if she had time.
Blake said, "We just came... to pick up some branches. That's all."
Esper remained silent. Why don't you just say you're stealing?
Blake squatted down and waved to an approaching cat. "Oh, Little Heartless, you're here too."
Little Heartless smelled the fragrance of dried fish from afar. To get more, it rubbed against Blake's hand and then rubbed against Lilly's leg.
"Nice to see humans again. It's been a long time since I last saw humans."
Little Heartless clung to Lilly's leg. "You came from so far away. Don't you have any gifts? Where's the gift for the kid?"
Lilly could understand its words and pampered it, directly giving it a box of dried fish.
Little Heartless was surprised.
It grabbed the box and ran.
Esper was speechless.
D*mn it... did I just get robbed?
However, I won't stoop so low as to meow at her feet.
Esper turned its face away.
However, because of this incident, it finally believed that Lilly and the others were just here to visit.
Just when it thought so, Lilly said, "We're leaving..."
Esper involuntarily stood up...
Lilly said, "By the way, I want to save a friend of Cloud. That friend needs the sacred tree to reshape their spiritual body. Can you..."
Esper's feathers bristled. "No."
I know they have no good intentions.
They say they are just dropping by to bring dried fish. It is a lie.
Lilly waved her hand and apologized. "No, we just need a branch, really just one."
Blake said, "I promise there's no tree digging, not even one."
Pablo said, "If you don't believe them, do you believe me?"
Weakling spirit smiled gently. "Come on, babe, she never lies. She didn't mention digging up the tree just now."
…
Lilly sent her parents, Master, the ghosts, and her brother to the underworld.
She changed into new clothes and stamped the documents.
The statue of Asmodeus in the Ruler of Hell's palace finally emitted a dark light. The ordinary clothes on Josh suddenly changed into Asmodeus' attire.
At this moment, Asmodeus was returning to duty.
Josh felt a rush of excitement as if a spring had passed through his heart. He instinctively knew all the rules of the underworld.
Asmodeus was the god of nocturnal patrol, taking turns with Mammon to oversee the good and evil in the Human Realm.
Josh felt a rush of excitement. "I'm on duty."
He exclaimed, "Let's go to work."
Lilly sat on the Ruler of Hell's throne and asked, "Don't you want to ask about the salary and benefits first?"
Josh waved his hand. "I'm not interested in that."
Lilly teased, "Well, in the underworld, salary is settled in virtue. With enough virtue, it can be used to protect relatives in the Human Realm. Besides, the officially registered ghost in the Fifth Palace receives an additional Azurite gemstone as a performance bonus every month. The Azurite gemstone can help ghost officials cultivate, increasing their strength..."
Now, in the underworld, which ghost doesn't know about the excellent welfare benefits of the officially registered ghost in the Fifth Palace?
They all wish to work in the Fifth Palace. After establishing its position as the head of the Ten Hell Palaces through strength, the Fifth Palace solidified its reputation as the top palace with its exceptional benefits.
Josh said, "The other party retracted a message."
He immediately smiled and said, "In that case, I must receive a salary. Money or not doesn't matter; the main thing is to enjoy the ritual of going to work..."
Pablo's mouth twitched.
This guy changes his mind pretty quickly.
