1606 Mission Accomplished (2/2)
He turned around immediately. It felt like something was watching him.
He took a few more steps before turning around again. He suddenly saw a woman with a pale face and red lips sticking her face close to his. He almost burst out screaming.
”Hey kid, it's me!” the woman giggled. She had appeared out of nowhere like a ghost in the daytime.
”My Queen, can you not scare me like that next time?” Mo Fan let out a sigh.
”Well done! The Gate of the Underworld is now open. I've notified the king, too. Oh yeah, it feels great knowing we can soon go to war. I hope the Underworld won't turn out to be a disappointment...” the Queen of the Netherworld said.
”It looks like my job is done here. Don't you disturb the living again. Everyone is just trying to survive here. It's pretty tough!” Mo Fan said.
”What are you talking about? Since when did we go and disturb the living? It's because some greedy people were trying to take our tombs and steal our possessions!” the Queen of the Netherworld argued right back.
”How old are you? Do you really have to be so fussy with us young ones? Not every undead has a brain like you. They simply attack anyone they stumble into...” Mo Fan replied.
”Give me a break! Mo Fan, I must tell you that the number of undead are a lot greater than you can imagine, and not every undead takes orders from us. Your people better watch out for the wild undead that wander and roam aimlessly. I don't want you to come before the King and accuse us next time. Do you seriously think he's a peace envoy now!?” the Queen of the Netherworld shot back.
”You've learned pretty quickly. You even know the term peace envoy now!” Mo Fan was left speechless.
”Undead will always be undead. Their instincts are to kill and hunt for blood, making them a natural foe of the living. We are only invading the Underworld to teach Khufu a lesson. It's ignorant if you think the undead will just stop attacking the human cities in the future,” the Queen of the Netherworld sniffed.
”I'm no peace envoy either, but our country is in a pinch right now due to the rising sea level. The sea monsters have suddenly become our greatest threat, so it would be best if your kingdom of undead can lay low for a few years… we all want to live a better life. If humans became extinct, the undead are going to struggle too,” Mo Fan said.
”What kind of nonsense is that? Don't forget that it was my idea to invade the Underworld. You should be thanking me instead!” the Queen of the Netherworld scoffed.
”Right, you're the most beautiful and most intelligent female ghost that I've met. I will surely burn some of the latest trendy makeup and fashionable attire for you during the Qingming Festival, so you can shine brightly among the female ghosts!” Mo Fan said.
”Why don't you bring them to me in person? I prefer that you stay with me, I'm pretty lonely down there...” the Queen of the Netherworld giggled.
”Please don't prey on me considering how hard I've worked to fulfill my duty. Why don't you consider my brother Zhao Manyan? He's the typical kind that many women find attractive...”
”That's enough bullshitting with you. Let me have a nap in your Contracted Space. I'm so tired from all the business I have had to take care of lately.” The Queen of the Netherworld stretched out, showing off her alluring figure, especially visible since her thin clothes were tightly wrapped around her body.
”Seriously? Can you really go inside my Contracted Space when you're not my Contracted Beast?” Mo Fan said.
”Just open it. There's something I need to keep an eye on still, so it's better for me to stick with you for the time being,” the Queen of the Netherworld confirmed.
”Oh, alright,” Mo Fan was quite curious how the Queen of the Netherworld was going to enter his Contracted Space.
Mo Fan opened the Contracted Space. It had always been Little Flame Belle's nest. The little creature was quite friendly to the Queen of the Netherworld. She slowly moved aside to clear up some space for her.
