Chapter 18: Returning to the Underworld, Judge Lu Seeks Him!
They could feel the killing intent emanating from Jiang Chen, especially the faint hint of his late-stage Ghostly cultivation level.
Fatty Wang looked completely dazed.
"Damn, Lao Jiang, how did you improve your strength...?"
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chen, unable to bear it any longer, threw a cannon punch at him.
"I'll hit you!"
"Ouch!" The fat man cried out, clutching his throbbing left eye.
"Old Jiang, what are you doing?!"
However, Jiang Chen was too lazy to pay any attention to the guy in front of him at this moment.
All he wants now is to give the other person a good beating.
"Damn it, Jiang, that's enough!"
"I advise you not to refuse a polite offer but to suffer the consequences!"
"Jiang Chen, I'm warning you, hitting someone in the face will hurt their pride!"
"I...I'm very strong!"
"Ouch! Brother, Brother Jiang, Brother Chen, I was wrong!"
"dad!"
……
After a chaotic scene, Jiang Chen felt a little better after venting his emotions.
Then he looked at the fat man on the ground, whose head he had beaten into a pig's head.
He kicked her a few more times, clearly annoyed.
"You fatso, stop pretending and get up right now!"
Upon hearing this, the fat man knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer.
He stood up cleanly and neatly, his face swollen like a pig's head, and grinned as he approached.
"Hey, Brother Jiang, how did your cultivation level improve so quickly?"
"Late-stage Ghostly Demon?!"
"I remember you were still in the early stages seven days ago. How come you found some incredible treasure in these seven days?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen rolled his eyes in exasperation.
However, there is one thing that the fat man said that is actually quite right.
He did indeed encounter an opportunity, and it was the greatest opportunity of his life.
"Alright, look at you, get your face back right now, it's disgusting to look at."
"hey-hey."
The fat man chuckled, and with a surge of Yin energy within his body, his face, which had been swollen like a pig's head, instantly returned to normal.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, tell me what happened?"
"Where did you go for the past seven days?"
"Skipping work without permission, and for seven days straight! Brother Jiang, you're something else!"
Jiang Chen's face darkened again as he looked at the fat man's thumbs-up.
However, since Fatty was the only brother he trusted in the underworld, he didn't hide it from him.
"Well, it's a long story."
"Then let's make it short."
Jiang Chen: ...
After a while.
"What?! You mean you were pulled into some weird dungeon and are doing quests inside?!"
"Yet you not only ate yin food and cultivated inside every day, but you also brought back several ghosts as a result?!"
After hearing Jiang Chen's story, the fat man was completely dumbfounded.
Damn it, this is like ghosts outshining each other!
He worked overtime day and night, but his performance was pitifully poor.
He had only heard of Yin food but had never eaten it.
Although he is the Black Impermanence, he cannot afford to buy food for the dead even with his salary.
But this guy in front of me has been eating Yin food for seven whole days.
And they have a different dish every day.
"Jiang Chen, I'm going to strangle you!"
As he spoke, the fat man lunged forward, his eyes red.
He grabbed Jiang Chen by the neck and started shaking him.
"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
"Cough, cough!"
"You fat bastard, you son of a bitch!"
Jiang Chen cursed and grabbed the fat man's neck.
The two ghosts started fighting.
The commotion here naturally attracted the attention of the other ghost messengers in the underworld.
As soon as they arrived, they saw the Black and White Impermanence wrestling on the ground.
She wanted to say something, but after sensing the late-stage Ghostly Realm power emanating from Jiang Chen, she swallowed her words.
After an unknown amount of time, the two ghosts finally released each other.
"Old Jiang, what are you going to do next?"
"Sigh, I don't know." Upon hearing the question, Jiang Chen sighed deeply, feeling helpless.
Although he went to that place, he gained great benefits.
But, but... sigh.
"Why don't you just run away?"
"That's what the fat man suggested."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was speechless.
He raised his hand and slapped the fat man on the back of the head.
"Snapped!"
"hiss!"
"You son of a bitch, you hit me again!"
Feeling the pain from the back of his head, the fat man gasped and turned to glare at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen ignored him completely, slowly getting up from the ground and patting the stains off his white robe.
He said in a very serious tone, "I'll go find the road inspector later and explain the situation."
Upon hearing this, the fat man, who had been glaring angrily, instantly lost most of his anger.
Instead, he looked at his best friend and confidant with a worried expression.
Sensing the fat man's worry, Jiang Chen grinned.
After patting the other person on the shoulder, he waved and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll treat you to a big meal at the Ghost Market when I get back."
After saying that, Jiang Chen no longer hesitated and quickly headed towards Fengdu, which was not far away.
Watching Jiang Chen walk away, the fat man said softly, "I'll wait for you to come back."
……
On the other side, Jiang Chen, who had arrived at the foot of Fengdu City, looked at the magnificent city gate that he had passed through countless times.
He began to panic.
"Damn it, he's gone too far with his showing off."
However, now that the die is cast, there's no turning back.
He took a deep breath and silently encouraged himself.
"Jiang Chen, you can do it! You definitely can!"
After mentally preparing himself, he strode towards the interior of Fengdu City.
However, as soon as he entered the city, a rather authoritative voice rang in his mind.
"You're back. You came over as soon as you got back."
"Gulp!"
Upon hearing the voice that suddenly came from his mind, Jiang Chen swallowed hard.
I thought to myself, "As expected of a big shot."
He immediately bowed to the void and, without daring to delay, rushed towards the office of the Inspectorate.
The Procuratorate, with its highest-ranking official being the Judge's Office.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in."
With a creak, the office door slowly opened.
"Hey, Judge Lu, you were looking for me?"
Jiang Chen's sly smile slowly peeked out from behind the door.
Judge Lu, who was working behind his desk, slowly put down his work when he heard the sound.
Looking up, she saw Jiang Chen's unreliable appearance.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but frown.
"Come in and stand still."
Seeing that Judge Lu's expression was off, Jiang Chen quickly stopped smiling.
Enter the office quickly and stand properly.
Who would have thought that the White Impermanence, who was so arrogant and domineering in the bizarre dungeon, is now as weak as a quail.
"Lord Lu...Lord Lu, what brings you here?"
"If there's nothing else, I still need to report to the Soul Reaper's Division."
"Oh, to hand in my report?"
"Yeah, yeah," Jiang Chen nodded frantically, seeing an opportunity. "The month is almost over, and my... my performance..."
When asked about his performance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but blush.
Although he is a high-ranking official, his salary will still be deducted if his performance does not meet the target.
If you fail to meet the standards for several consecutive months, you will be demoted.
Jiang Chen had heard that the last person to be dismissed was demoted and fined for failing to meet performance targets for three consecutive years.
Now I've become a lowly soldier.
He didn't want to be a lowly soldier.
Just as he was lost in thought, Lu Pan's next words almost choked him to death.
"If you knew you had to deliver a report, why didn't you do it for the past seven days?"
"Do I really have to go find you again?"
"What's wrong? You have a problem with me?"
