Cute Kids Bravely Charge the Underworld

After finishing the delicious Ginseng Fruit at Five Villages Temple, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan heard all sorts of legends about the Underworld. Bursting with curiosity, the sibling pair decided to go and see the Underworld for themselves.

Using their marvelous supernatural powers, the two instantly arrived at the entrance to the Underworld. The gloomy Underworld was filled with a bone-chilling cold, thick with ghostly aura, and all kinds of mournful wails echoed around them. Though Chen Ruixuan was a little scared inside, he still held tightly to Chen Siyu's hand and put on a brave face, saying, "Sister, I'm not scared at all." Chen Siyu patted her younger brother on the head and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, little brother. With your sister here, there's nothing to fear."

They walked forward along the Yellow Springs Road. The Lycoris radiata on either side of the road were as brilliant as blood, swaying gracefully in the wind. Suddenly, a group of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, brandishing Steel Forks, blocked their way with a menacing air. "You two little ghosts, where did you come from? How dare you trespass into the Underworld!" Ox-Head bellowed loudly. Chen Siyu lifted her head and said with perfect confidence, "We heard the Underworld was fun, so we came to take a look. Just move aside, will you?" Horse-Face sneered coldly, "Do you think the Underworld is a place you can come and go as you please? Seize them and send them to King Yama!"

In the blink of an eye, Ox-Head and Horse-Face swung their Steel Forks and thrust them at the siblings. Chen Siyu was completely unfazed. She gently waved her little hand in the air, and a soft radiance instantly enveloped Ox-Head and Horse-Face, freezing them in place. Chen Ruixuan clapped his hands and laughed, "Trying to bully us, huh? Now you know what we're made of!" The two siblings swaggered past the immobilized Ox-Head and Horse-Face and continued deeper into the Underworld.

Soon, they arrived at King Yama's Palace. King Yama sat solemnly on his high throne, his face dark and gloomy. Seeing these uninvited guests, he roared in anger, "Who are you? Why have you broken into my Underworld and disrupted its order!" Chen Siyu blinked her big eyes, curiously sizing up King Yama, and said, "We just came to look around. We heard the Underworld has lots of interesting things. Don't be so grumpy."

King Yama was so furious his beard bristled. He slammed his Gavel and shouted, "Impudent brats! The Underworld is the realm of life and death and reincarnation—how dare you treat it as a game! Black and White Impermanence, seize them!" At King Yama's command, Black and White Impermanence flashed out from both sides, brandishing their Mourning Sticks, and lunged at the siblings. Chen Siyu lightly stomped her foot, and the ground instantly rose up into layers of Earth Walls, blocking the attacks of Black and White Impermanence. Taking the chance, Chen Ruixuan pulled a Slingshot from his pocket, loaded it with a small pebble, and shot it at Black and White Impermanence. The pebble, carrying a strange power, sent Black and White Impermanence stumbling and reeling.

Seeing this, King Yama knew these two little ones were not easy to deal with and secretly lamented his misfortune. But as the master of the Underworld, he could not show weakness so easily. He stood up, muttered an incantation, and summoned the Underworld's treasured artifact—the Book of Life and Death. King Yama opened the Book of Life and Death, wanting to see just what kind of beings these two little ones were and whether their names were recorded in it. However, after flipping through the entire Book of Life and Death, he could not find the names of Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan.

King Yama was greatly shocked and realized that these two children were by no means ordinary. Just then, Chen Siyu said with a smile, "King Yama, don't waste your effort. We're not ordinary people. Look, the Underworld is so gloomy and not fun at all. How about we help you renovate it?" King Yama looked at her suspiciously. "How do you plan to renovate it?"

Chen Siyu waved her little hand, and countless beams of colorful light flew from her palm, scattering into every corner of the Underworld. Wherever the light passed, the originally gloomy Underworld began to undergo wondrous changes. The Lycoris radiata along the Yellow Springs Road became even more dazzling and gave off a fragrant scent; the sounds of wailing ghosts and howling spirits gradually faded, replaced by cheerful notes; even the buildings of the Underworld became much brighter and gained a livelier atmosphere.

Chen Ruixuan wasn't idle either. He ran over to the Bridge of Helplessness and said to Meng Po, "Granny Meng Po, your soup is too bitter. Let me add some seasoning." With that, he took out some mysterious powder from his pocket and sprinkled it into Meng Po's Soup. Instantly, the flavor of Meng Po's Soup became sweet and delicious. The ghosts who were about to drink it all showed satisfied smiles after taking a sip.

King Yama watched the earth-shattering changes and felt both shock and delight. Shocked that these two Cute Kids possessed such divine powers, and delighted that the Underworld, under their transformation, seemed to have become more vibrant. Chen Siyu looked at King Yama and said, "King Yama, from now on, the Underworld should be like this—happy and cheerful. No need to be so serious all the time." King Yama gave a helpless smile and said, "Very well. Today, I thank the two young friends for bringing this new atmosphere to the Underworld. But from now on, you must not barge in so casually anymore."

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan giggled and agreed, and under King Yama's escort, they left the Underworld. After this trip to the Underworld, the sibling pair had once again left behind an astonishing and wonderful tale in the Underworld. And their legendary adventures in the Primordial World were far from over...
