Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 34.1 (1/2)

Chapter 34 part 1

Reentering the netherworld. I looked at the tall plaque on the door for a long moment and sighed. Then with a determined mentality I went to Yanw.a.n.g’s palace while the little ghost watched me.

I opened the door of Yanw.a.n.g’s palace. Surprisingly, I didn’t hear the sound of Yanw.a.n.g’s snoring. Only on a small table beside Yanw.a.n.g’s enormous desk, the magistrate is buried into a pile of cases. He was busily writing. Even when I came in he didn’t look up and just throw out a few words: “Do you have some business here? Say it.”

“Eh……I’m here again.”

After saying that, the magistrate finally lifted his head from the table and glanced at me once. Then he buried his head and continues to work.

“En, I see.”

I totally didn’t expect such a cold treatment. I waited for a while and thought that short termed pain is better than long termed pain and asked: “Where is Yanw.a.n.g? I have come to receive my punishment.”

The magistrate replied coldly: “Went on a business trip to heaven. Not back yet.”

My eyes lit up: “Then can I just go to reincarnate and don’t have to bother about him?”

The magistrate looked at me coldly again with an “don’t even think about it” expression.

“Wait quietly in the netherworld.”

I sighed and asked: “Then how long do I have to wait?”

“One day in heaven is one year in the mortal realm. Yanw.a.n.g is almost gone for a year. He will be in heaven for about two, three days.”

This means two three years here, ah! Having an endless immortal life, waiting for a couple of years is not too long. But having been living as a mortal, I also began to care about time.

Two three years……it’ll be enough for Chu Kong to defeat Wei country.

I picked up my good mood and was about to walk out of Yanw.a.n.g’s palace to take advantage of this two three years free time in the netherworld when the magistrate coldly stopped me: “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to take a two year long vacation by traveling in the netherworld.”

“Long vacation?”

After the magistrate heard those two words, his eyes flashed green. He fiercely threw all the files on the table onto the ground and stood up.

“You dare to mention long vacation in front of me! The netherworld lacks people, so there isn’t one ghost who will stay a year without doing anything, you know?! Staying up overnight, working overtime won’t get paid, do you know?! Even working when you’re sick is very normal, do you know?! You actually dare to go on a vacation traveling in the netherworld?! Very good, very good. I see; you immortals coming down to reincarnate is just to torment us. Very good, very good. I understand. When Yanw.a.n.g come back I’ll make him let you lick the ghost shoes to let you taste how bitter taste like……”

I rubbed my forehead and waved: “I understand, I understand. You want me to help, I’ll help.”

The magistrate sat again. While writing, he said: “First help me pick up the files and put them in order. On Yanw.a.n.g’s table there’re many doc.u.ments that need to be stamped. On the left they need to be stamped. On the right, they need to be crossed. You just do this simple job.”

When I finished it was lunchtime. While I was thinking about that, I honestly sat down on Yanw.a.n.g’s seat. Under the table I saw a bunch of doc.u.ments that still need to be done. I was instantly dumbfounded: “This…….why is this Yanw.a.n.g usually not busy?”

The magistrate said without expression: “Because the things he left, I’ll need clean up after him while he is on a business trip. If I don’t clean them, his things will be left here.”

I said: “If that’s so, you can just pretend you didn’t clean and didn’t see the things.”
