Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse 『Liskook』

Chapter 22

I was already so familiar with the road to the Netherworld that I didn't need the soul collectors to lead me. As such, we arrived in no time.

There, I saw Jungkook talking with one of the ghosts. As I approached them, I faintly heard him say: "I must trouble you to inform Yanwang that I've something important to see him about."

Seems like he had just gotten here himself.

The ghost, who was half the size of Jungkook, nodded. He was about to leave when he saw me. His dark face turned even darker. Taking a few steps back, he shouted: "They have come again! They have come again! They'll face each other again!"

The Netherworld was a silent place. When he shouted, the whole Netherworld stopped what they are doing. Both the worker ghosts and the souls that were about to be reincarnated all scattered away, leaving me and Jungkook standing there awkwardly. I bit my lips and silently wiped the cold sweat off my forehead. In my heart, I was thinking that Jungkook and I, standing here together just like this, must've been a traumatic experience for them...

I was lamenting exactly this when Jungkook looked at me. He narrowed his eyes, and I saw danger in them. "Didn't I tell you to look for an opportunity to escape? How come you're so stupid?!"

I didn't want to have to explain all the feelings in my heart, and I certainly didn't want to explain them to him. So, I said: "Do you think it's comfortable wearing a fur coat all the time? I don't give a damn about being a tiger demon."

I walked straight to Yanwang's palace.

"After we inform Yanwang about that issue...that's it for me. When we have to drink the Soup of Oblivion, we'll drink the Soup of Oblivion. When we have to reincarnate, we'll go reincarnate. I don't care about how Heavenly Emperor Li will arrange our next lifetime; I'm done. I don't want to waste my effort fighting with you anymore. I'm worn out."

The route to Yanwang's palace was long, and all the while, I didn't hear Jungkook's cynicism. I also didn't hear the sound of footsteps behind me. Curiously, I looked back and saw Jungkook staring blankly at me. I wondered: "Don't you need to go to Yangwang's palace? Come."

Jungkook blinked, and it seemed like his soul had finally returned to his body. He arrogantly declared: "Humph, of course xiaoye knows what he has to do. Who wants you to remind me?"

I squeezed my fist. This guy, really... Control my anger, control my anger.

I didn't bother with him anymore. In my heart, I felt that letting him off the hook every once in awhile was no big deal.

After pushing the big, heavy door open, I walked into Yanwang's palace. The thing that surprised me the most today was that Yanwang was not asleep on his desk. In all seriousness, he was awake, writing in a book. The magistrate beside him was watching him. Looking at Yanwang, I saw the veins on his forehead look as if they were about to pop.

"Yanwang."

I bowed, full of respect.

"I'm here again."

Yanwang raised his head and looked at me. His eyes brightened up: "Oh! Xiao Lisa Zi! Good, good, you're here again? Didn't Celestial Star Jungkook come?"

His face was full of excitement. Only when he saw Jungkook walk into the palace did he nod. Yanwang put down his brush and said: "You came just in time. Just now, Heaven sent me a letter."

Yanwang leaned back in his chair. He patted the arm of it with his left hand, looking at both me and Jungkook with a smile on his face.

I was scared to see him smile like that and took a few steps back. At the same time, Jungkook stepped in front and covered me with half of his body. He asked: "What did the letter from Heaven say?"
