I'm Done Playing with You. I'm Going to Find the Employees!

"Pfft—!"

When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard those words, he felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out another mouthful of blood.

He felt like he wasn't being angered to death—he was being made so stupid he'd die of it.

Y-you still want more fire?

Let some more out?

So you can roast peaches?!

What do you think my Crimson Lotus Karma Fire is? Something I can turn on and off whenever I want?

Besides, you already sucked it all dry just now!

And now you want me to release some more?

Want me to fart in your face instead?!

Ksitigarbha trembled with rage. His face went from pale to red, from red to purple, then turned as black as ink.

He pointed at Xiruan below, his lips quivering, but for a long time he couldn't manage a complete sentence.

"Y-you... you've gone too far!"

After struggling for a while, he finally forced those words through clenched teeth.

"What a cheapskate." Xiruan gave him a scornful look. "You won't even lend me a little fire, and you call yourself a Bodhisattva?"

She looked down at the Peach of Immortality in her hand and sighed.

"Looks like I won't get to eat a roasted peach. I'll just have to eat it raw."

She raised the peach and took a big bite.

"Crunch!"

Sweet, fragrant juice ran down the corner of her mouth.

"Mmm, so sweet!"

Xiruan narrowed her eyes in bliss.

Up in the sky, Ksitigarbha watched her enjoying herself and felt as though his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all in pain.

What was he looking at?

A 9000-Year Peach!

Had this little miscreant ransacked the Heavenly Court's Pantaoyuan? Was she really Tongtian's daughter?

Was Master Tongtian really powerful enough to destroy a sect?

Ksitigarbha felt his understanding of the world being overturned again and again. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he'd be angered to death.

"Let's go!"

He roared at Diting, who was pretending to be dead beneath him.

He forcibly swept up the dimly glowing Red Lotus of Karma and fled toward the deepest reaches of the Underworld without looking back.

He didn't even dare to offer a parting remark.

He'd chickened out.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, at the Quasi-Saint Peak, had been beaten into a panicked retreat by a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler.

The Ten Yama Kings watched the departing streak of blood-red light, exchanging looks. Their expressions were a sight to behold.

You were the one who took charge of this mess in the first place!

You were the one who acted like such a big shot!

Now the person who really had a stake in this showed up, and you got beaten so badly you couldn't even recognize your own mother, huh?

After their schadenfreude faded, what remained in their hearts was boundless fear.

Ksitigarbha had run off.

What were they supposed to do now?

This Little Ancestor was still right there with them!

King Qin Guang cautiously edged over to Xiruan, his face covered in a fawning smile.

"A-auntie, you see, that... that black factory's boss has already been beaten away by you."

"Could... could you perhaps..."

He wanted to ask: Could you perhaps be generous and let us off the hook?

Xiruan chewed her peach and said indistinctly, "He ran off? His office is still there, right?"

"It is... it is, it is!" King Qin Guang nodded hurriedly.

"Then what's the problem?" Xiruan said as if it were only natural. "The boss ran off, so I'll go raid his office!"

"I'll rescue all the employees in there!"

She finished off the enormous Peach of Immortality and patted her little hands. The seat beneath her had run off just like that, and she was already angry about it.

"All right, I'm done playing with you. I'm going to find the employees!"

She looked at King Qin Guang and ordered:

"You. Lead the way!"

King Qin Guang: "..."

His face instantly fell.

Why me again?

Why was he always the one getting hurt?

He really didn't want to go!

Cuiyun Palace was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's sanctuary, and who knew how many Buddhist restrictions were inside?

Ksitigarbha was furious right now. Wouldn't going there be like walking straight into a trap?

"What? You don't want to go again?"

Xiruan gave the Chaos Baby Bottle in her hand a little shake.

After being charged just now, the bottle looked even deeper and more dangerous than before.

Thin strands of blood-red lightning curled around its surface.

King Qin Guang shuddered when he saw the bottle.

"I'm willing! I'm a thousand times willing!"

How could he dare say no?

"Leading the way for you, Auntie, is a blessing I earned in my previous life!"

All he wanted now was to escort this Little Ancestor safely out of his First Hall.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you're on your own!

"Hmph, that's more like it."

Xiruan nodded with satisfaction and took Holy Mother Wudang by the hand. The latter had been standing there in a daze.

"Auntie, let's go! We're going to save people!"

As Holy Mother Wudang was led along, her expression grew more and more complicated. She increasingly felt that her earlier guess might have been wrong.

The person before her wasn't some "incarnation of the Great Dao" at all. She was... she was the Great Dao itself!

The supreme Great Dao, master of the universe's ultimate laws, had come down in person because she couldn't stand the saints' dirty tricks!

Only that could explain why she could disregard the saints and all the laws of the world!

At the thought, Holy Mother Wudang was overcome with excitement.

The Heavenly Dao had stepped in, personally standing up for the Interception Sect!

What an honor! What a blessing!

The remaining Nine Yama Kings watched King Qin Guang lead the way in front with a mournful expression, and every one of them looked at him sympathetically.

"Big Brother... take care!"

"Big Brother, we'll miss you!"

"Big Brother, go in peace. I'll keep an eye on your position for you!"

King Qin Guang heard the words of encouragement from behind and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

Take care of what, you idiots?!

You heartless bastards!

Just wait until I get back. I'll show you all!

He was seething with grief and indignation, but he didn't dare let any of it show. He could only trudge along with a bitter face.

Toward the depths of the Underworld.
