you, seeing as you're a woman with children, it's not easy. I don't want to overcharge you, but you're in the business too, you know that these things come in pairs, dealing with just one is useless,...Along the way, my brother couldn't help but envy: "You say this Dragon Young Master, he's plain-looking and gloomy and taciturn. He actually has beauties willing to dedicate themselves unconditionally! Tsk tsk, it seems like men still have to have power!"

"Do you want this too" I asked.

"Envy, if I had such a maid, I could also have irresponsible sex! The problem is that once the belly gets big, you're responsible! I'd rather not have sex than be tied down by a woman!" My brother laughed and said: "I'm different from Long Xiao Ge. He's a king hiding in the village, while I still need to mix in society, so I can't be so lawless."

Well, you know! I shot him a sneaky glance.

Meng Shu pouted and said, "Our Emperor also could have many concubines, but our Emperor only has the Little Empress. He's so devoted, it's great!"

"Nonsense, where else could I find a girl as good as my little Qiao! She's beautiful, has a great figure, is kind, cooks well, isn't vain, doesn't party, and never gossips! What's wrong with Qiao She has everything a man wants! What more could he possibly want He dares to look for mistresses My family will never allow it!" My brother snorted.

"What does it mean to be a 'xiao mi' or 'xiao san' " Meng Shu laughed. "As long as the Emperor God just snaps his fingers, there are many maids who are willing to serve unconditionally. To receive the favor of a divine being is a blessing cultivated over several hundred years!"

I'm getting goosebumps. This sounds really dangerous! There must be plenty of female minor deities, ghost officials, handmaidens, or even ghosts in the underworld, right

"Heh heh, Your Highness, you're really amazing. Even the Emperor rarely goes back to Yinjing Tiangong. Sometimes he just goes there for a bath and change of clothes, then immediately comes to your side... Who is serving who here Hahahaha."

Meng Shu, fearless, spoke about the gossip of her own emperor.

"Say, do you know anything about Bai Wu Chang" I asked cautiously.

She was taken aback: “The Seventh Lord What’s the matter with the Seventh Lord The Seventh Lord rarely appears on the Forgetfulness Platform, we don’t have much chance to see him…”

"I heard his wife ran away…"

Meng Shu laughed when she heard this: "That's right! The seventh grandpa's wife is so powerful!"

In the pantheon of Daoist deities, the Hall of the King of Hell has statues of the Two Lords of Untimely Death. They "work" here, however, in the Hall of Untimely Death, when two Lords of Untimely Death are enshrined, the White Lord of Untimely Death is accompanied by a Lady of Untimely Death, while the Black Lord of Untimely Death is not.

It is said that the wife of Qishe (Seven Lords) was a woman he saved sometime, somewhere while "handling official business" in the mortal realm.

Meng Shu told us a lot of juicy gossip: "We heard that the wife of Qiyee (one of the seven celestial beings) is very ugly! Apparently, she was originally a well-bred young lady, but because she got sick when she was young, she became short and chubby with pockmarks on her face... uh, kind of like a measles face!"

"But this young lady was particularly kind and simple, always willing to help others and do good deeds, earning a good reputation. However, when families of similar status saw her appearance, they shook their heads. You see, those eligible bachelors from well-to-do families were already surrounded by women; they certainly wouldn't look favorably upon this young lady's looks. Therefore, she remained unwed."

……

Later, this young lady helped a wandering monk. Coincidentally, some thugs came to demand payment and cause trouble. The monk, being skilled in martial arts, sent them packing. The young lady's father pleaded with the monk to become a lay person and stay as the guardian of their household.

Once the monk returned to lay life, he and the young lady got together. The old master readily agreed and let them get married.

His father-in-law was wealthy and gradually entrusted his business to his son-in-law. After years of navigating the secular world, the monk developed some bad habits. He disregarded the rules and precepts, spending his days drinking flower wine and indulging in prostitution with others.

Miss refused his advances and was verbally abused by him. His father-in-law, Lao Yue, was so enraged that he died of anger.

Later, all the family wealth was depleted, and there were people coming to the door every day to cause trouble and steal things. The monk spent his days in the spring garden, hiding between a woman's legs, completely ignoring household affairs.

Miss was so troubled that she wanted to commit suicide.

"Speaking of this, Meng Shu covered her mouth and chuckled: "I wonder how long Bai Qiye has been peeping. He's such a mischievous person! This young lady jumped into the river and was saved, hung herself with a white silk ribbon and it broke... Anyway, she can't die no matter what! Hahahahahaha."

I silently lit three incense sticks in my heart for Bai Qijie—if my husband treated me like this, I would be angry too!

White Qiji is quite a character, that smile-like squint when he smiles is terrifying, and when he doesn't smile it's also terrifying! His eyes are full of evil when they stare at you, and you can never guess what he's thinking.

"Later, this lady was almost caught by the debt collector and publicly humiliated by having her hair pulled and clothes ripped off. Bai Qijie, a righteous god, punished the evil doer and rescued her. He even carried out her two children from inside the house, nearly scaring the lady to death!"

The Seventh Jade Emperor said, "Since you can't bear to part with your child, don't foolishly seek death. Quickly pack up the remaining wealth in your home and flee. " The young lady said, "Where could an orphan like me go" The Seventh Jade Emperor investigated her past life and discovered that she still had a good marriage destined for her, so he pointed her in the right direction.

“After the lady and her child left, the manor was engulfed in flames, and the monk also died violently in the Spring Courtyard... We suspect it was Bai Qiyee who did it, but that lady was kind and charitable. The Department of Reward for Benevolence had long since arranged blessings for her, and Seven Ye didn't interfere too much, so he wasn't punished.”

Later, the young lady met a woodcutter, and they lived together for their whole lives. They had many children and grandchildren. The young lady always venerated Bai Qijie, offering incense morning and evening, reciting his name every day, and instructing her descendants to do the same.

This sounds like Bai Qiye was just playing in the human world and happened to save someone. Besides, the lady's two husbands didn't cause Bai Qiye any trouble either. How did she become a woman from the underworld

I couldn't help but ask, "What happened next"

Then I later saw Bai Qiye at the Bridge of Forgetfulness! You know, Bai Qiye’s duties are mostly in the Yang Realm and the Heavenly Palace of the Underworld King. He hardly ever comes to Huangquan Naihe Bridge or the Bridge of Forgetfulness… It turns out that Miss's soul returned to the underworld, and she had already drunk Meng Po Soup, yet she still remembered Bai Qiye!

“What a deep obsession! Hmph! It's almost like she's ruining our reputation! Even though she’s hazy and only remembers 'Bai Wu Chang,' the Seventh Lord still remembers her. He smiled, using his long staff to tap her forehead, erasing all her memories, allowing her to reincarnate peacefully.”

"After just a few decades... she returned to the underworld. It was Sister Meng Yong who gave her the soup. She didn't even meet Bai Qishe in this life, and she still remembers after drinking the soup! Oh my, oh my, even the Meng Po God is frightened. Could it be that our soup has no effect on her!"

"The result was the Seventh Master again, using his long staff to draw out her last memory once more, letting her continue to reincarnate...Finally—wow! For the third time, she remembers!! This time even the Jade Emperor himself was alarmed—"ith his bowl, seeking out Jiang Qiyun, unsure what he needed to report to him.I don't bother with them either. These two esteemed deities are quite familiar with my home, so I'll just go and serve the...
