“Do you still intend to fight even though our Master isn’t around?”

“That’s why we’re doing this! If the King of h.e.l.l is here, we would have gone for a sneak attack instead!” Little Seven justified as if he did not see a problem.

The judge murmured in his heart. How brazenly shameless!

The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin concluded that it was indeed a wise decision to bring the Sky-swallowing Beast along with them. As the saying goes, one’s character was influenced by the people that he surrounded himself with. Although the kid may seem absent-minded all the time, Master had raised him to be as sly as himself!

Capturing dead souls was not at all a problem for them. For three ancient mythical beasts, a flick of their claws would easily get them plenty.

The main issue they had to deal with was the King of h.e.l.l’s Son, who resided in the Palace of Life and Death.

He was troublesome to handle, as no one could read his mind or figure him out. Fending off the angered Son of the King of h.e.l.l could be tougher than dealing with the King of h.e.l.l himself.

In the past, when their Master was dueling the King of h.e.l.l, the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin could not defeat his son even though they joined forces.

It was mainly because that kid fought as if he did not mind dying.

He took advantage of his immortality and activated all the dead souls in the netherworld. The Fire Qilin still remembered that wicked sneer he had on his face back then.

“You go in, Sky-swallowing Beast,” the Fire Qilin told the little one.

The little one shook his head and said, “Third Aunt told me not to fight before we came.”

Says the one who just pummeled us! The judge thought as he was sprawling on the ground.

The Green Dragon frowned and replied, “We’re entering together, Qilin. Let the Sky-swallowing Beast leave with the dead souls first.”

“Leave?” said the Son of the King of h.e.l.l as he emerged from the darkness. He was clad in an oversized black robe, and his canines glinted as he smirked. Then, he continued, “You have decided to barge in here uninvited while your Master isn’t around, you don’t actually expect me to let you return unscathed, do you?”

Upon seeing his form, the Fire Qilin knew that things had gone horribly wrong. The malevolent aura radiating off him was sufficient to agitate the dead souls nearby.

However…

“Why are your hands tied?” This small detail did not escape Fire Qilin’s sharp eyesight.

“That’s none of your business. I’m in a bad mood today, and you people have just walked into your own doom! It is you people who roam the human world freely that I hate the most!” the Son of the King of h.e.l.l growled as he cackled viciously.

All of a sudden, the old judge rushed in from aside to hold back the Son of the King of h.e.l.l, saying, “Young Master, why do you come out? Quick, hide now. They’re here to kidnap you to the human world!”

“They’re here to kidnap me?” The malevolence in the eyes of the Son of the King of h.e.l.l gradually dissipated as they began to twinkle. He repeated, “To the human world?”

The old judge nodded furiously, “Please quickly hide, Young Master. If Master hears that you are kidnapped, he will turn the entire netherworld upside down!”

“Why didn’t you say so.” The Son of the King of h.e.l.l smiled as he sauntered towards the Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin. He reached his arms out in a friendly manner, and said, “Hurry, tie another loop. A little sacrifice from me for the netherworld is nothing, really.”

The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin exchanged a glance. After all that tension, the battle ceased on his command just like that.

The Son of the King of h.e.l.l did not wait for them to tie him up. With a stretch of his neck, he squirmed into the rope they brought along and tied a knot around himself, saying, “That’s more like it. We shouldn’t always be fighting, we should really be more civilized.” He smiled like a kid who had just received candy.

This was the first time they met such a cooperative victim. The Fire Qilin and the Green Dragon were utterly shocked.

The old judge blanked out for a moment before realization dawned upon him. He howled angrily, “Young Master, come back! You mustn’t go to the human world! Master had instructed for you to reflect on your actions! Didn’t you promise the master? You’ve only written a single word for your self-reflection essay! What about the remaining 1000 words?”
