The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again

Chapter 245

There was a knock on the door, and Hei Huomian came in pushing a cart, "I heard from mom that you're awake, maybe you want to eat..."

Bai Shuiru cried out softly and subconsciously shoved the documents and certificates in her hand under the carpet.

"Did I scare you?" Hei Huomian waited until Bai Shuiru let out a sigh of relief and visibly relaxed before he strode forward and held her in his arms, murmuring softly:

"I'm sorry to scare you. I just came back to the bedroom after work and found you were not there. I was shocked. Later I heard that you went back to the studio, so I went to prepare some."

"That feeling of searching for you in this world without any secret guards or surveillance, relying only on my understanding of you, my two legs, my two eyes, and my one mouth." He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions so as not to scare the girl. "... That feeling is not pleasant."

Bai Shuiru frowned slightly, still maintaining the posture of allowing the other party to hug her, but her hand slowly moved towards the corner of the certificate's clothes that was exposed outside the carpet.

"I'm just an ordinary man who's looking for the lover who's not with me..." Hei Huomian gently kissed Bai Shuiru on the forehead and immediately explained:

"Please don't misunderstand me. I am not blaming you. I just want to tell you for the thousandth and ten thousandth time:

Your importance to me is beyond your imagination and beyond my estimation.

Because I really, really love you and can't live without you."

Bai Shuiru listened to the man's confession calmly, slightly opened her lips, but found that she had nothing to say. In the end, she could only raise her hand and gently pat the other's broad back as a response.

Hei Huomian held the person in his arms tightly again, then he let go of his arms, stood up and pushed the dining cart parked by the door closer, "Are you hungry? Would you like some porridge? Or some sesame and peanut paste? How about some eight-treasure cake?" He cut the originally small cake into small pieces, "Don't eat too much since it's almost time to go to bed, okay?"

"Don't get drunk outside again, okay? You'd better bring a secret guard with you when you go out. If you get drunk again, they will protect you immediately and notify me to pick you up."

Bai Shuiru remained silent, allowing Heihuo Mian to feed him mouthfuls of porridge and bites of cake, and answered all his questions.

Hei Huomian’s words can be said to shake anyone, even me.

But I don’t know why, there is always another me in my heart reminding myself:

Bai Shuiru, don't trust this man, don't!

Hei Huomian was also sensitive enough to realize that although Bai Shuiru seemed obedient, she must be resisting deep down in her heart, so he fed her a midnight snack, cleaned up the mess himself, and then coaxed her back to her room to rest.

Suddenly I feel a little sad.

Bai Shuiru used the light of the scented candle on the bedside table to glance at Hei Huomian, who was staring at her silently for half a minute before closing the door and leaving and returning to the bedroom.

She turned over and raised her hand to extinguish the candle.

Are you feeling pathetic for yourself or for Hei Huomian?

Hei Huomian leaned against the bed screen and flipped through a book. After reading for a few minutes, he slammed the book shut in an upset state, quickly changed his clothes, stroked the bracelet on his wrist that contained white water as beautiful as hair, and teleported back to the underworld.

It’s time for the underworld to go to work!

In the meeting room of the Underworld, the top officials of the Underworld, headed by the Ten Kings of Hell, looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing Hei Huomian's decision:

Qi Chu withdrew from the election due to the investigation and finally committed suicide, causing a large number of local/government forces who had previously followed his lead to "abandon the dark and join the light":

King Qin Guang took a two-month leave due to illness; King Zhuanlun "suffered" from pharyngitis, and even though he attended every meeting on time, he never raised any objections. He always agreed with Heihuo Mian's decisions and would express his opinion on the tablet and vote.

The King of Five Senses carefully considered the words and slowly reported:

"Emperor of the Underworld, you know that some wandering souls are obsessed with the people they are waiting for and are unwilling to reincarnate. It is common for them to avoid the Piaokou census, and some even hide near the Siyuan. They do not need to eat like humans, so it is difficult to capture them. In recent years, wandering souls have disappeared one after another, and many cases have been filed and solved. However, filing a unified investigation for such cases may be a waste of manpower and money."

"I too..." The Wheel King stopped his high-pitched voice abruptly, snatched the assistant's tablet and typed a few lines before answering in front of Hei Huo Mian:

"Mobilizing a large force to investigate such cases, but instead putting improving the efficiency of review, the speed of punishment, and the speed of rebirth in second place. This is..." The Wheel-Turning King noticed that Heihuo Mian's eyes flashed in front of him, and immediately turned the tablet upside down on the table. He picked up the cup to drink tea but burned his mouth. He embarrassedly made an excuse to apply medicine and left.

"So there are at least 35,427 missing cases so far. How do you explain that?" Hei Huomian tilted his head and looked at the ball of blue-black flame burning in his palm.

"Maybe, maybe they voluntarily stayed in the underworld, or wandered to places like Siyuan and could never get out again."

"You guys," the flame in Hei Huomian's palm rose with his tone and expanded to several times its original size, suddenly exploding into a waterfall with a drop of hundreds of meters. The pressure suddenly poured down like a 18-level super typhoon, "--it was intercepted cleanly."

Even though the Ten Kings of Hell had practiced for hundreds of thousands of years, they immediately stood up, bowed, and apologized, not even bothering to pick up the fallen chair.

"Once the truth behind this is revealed, it will definitely lead to a series of uncontrollable consequences. The investigation has been suspended."

"You all know clearly what can be done if a force with ulterior motives takes advantage of the Piaohun that we are supposed to protect. In this case, do I need to waste my breath on this?"

The nine Yama Kings looked at each other and nodded in agreement:

"There is one more thing," Hei Huomian glanced at the Yama Kings present, "Since nearly half of the Ten Yama Kings have been unwell recently, it would be better to take a temporary leave and let the young people I recommended before come to learn. Although it is only a temporary arrangement, I still suggest appointing a deputy to help me guide the younger generation."

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and a slim figure pushed the door open and walked in, not only shocking the other demons, but even Li You widened his eyes in surprise.

After the Yamas exchanged glances quickly, they hastily swore allegiance to Hei Huo Mian, whose figure had almost disappeared after teleporting:

"Everything must be done in accordance with the will of the Dark Emperor."
