Chapter 4: The Death of Yaksha

  Kid, do you understand? Yasha chuckled. Due to the long time, Yasha also forgot when he started taking over the 19th floor of hell and began to devour those fallen souls who were guilty of the ten evils. But Yasha clearly knew that as time passed, he had grown more and more fond of this job. This wasn't because Yasha's ideological awareness was high or his work enthusiasm was strong. It was just because Yasha found that the spirits of those dead people were really too delicious, devouring them was simply a supreme enjoyment for him.

  But to thoroughly scatter one's soul, never to be reborn, is indeed a violation of the heavenly way. It's not that all evil will be forgiven, and great villains will absolutely not receive this punishment. This also means that Yaksha may not even get to taste such a delicacy once in ten or eight years. The problem is that Yaksha has unknowingly become addicted to devouring the souls of the dead. And having only one chance to enjoy it every ten or eight years, for Yaksha, is like an unbearable torture.

  It's great, I finally have good luck today! The greedy and slobbering yaksha slapped Xiao Chen to the ground with a slap. It's great, now I can finally enjoy the delicious taste.

  Wait, I'm not a good person, but I haven't reached the point of being utterly despicable. I shouldn't be punished like this! Xiao Chen, who was pinned to the ground by Ye Jia, struggled desperately. He had already understood that if his soul was swallowed by Ye Jia, it would mean that he would completely disappear, not just in this life, but also in the next. This meant that he would never exist again and would be completely reduced to nothingness. How could this be? In the mortal world, there were still so many people who loved him and whom he loved, and so many things that were worth his concern. He couldn't bear to abandon them, couldn't bear to give them up. He didn't want to disappear like this, to be completely reduced to nothingness!

  Fool! Every person I've devoured has said the same thing, but to think you can deceive me, Night Yaksha, with such a childish lie is simply a pipe dream! The Night Yaksha, who couldn't help but sneer, shot Shaoming a disdainful glance before opening his massive jaws and taking a big bite out of his shoulder.

  Ah! Xiao Chen let out a miserable cry. It wasn't until now that he realized, when you die, it also hurts. And this kind of pain from having your soul torn apart is something he couldn't even imagine. Xiao Chen struggled with all his might, wanting to shake off the Yaksha. But his tiny bit of strength was insignificant in front of the Yaksha.

  Kid, resisting will only increase your suffering. Cooperate a bit and I'll give you a quick death! The Yaksha who was fiercely tearing at Xiao Chen's soul said with unclear speech.

  It's all over, I'm really finished, completely finished. Heaven, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this? Fear and indignation mixed in Xiao Chen's heart. Like this, his soul scattered, he was unwilling! Really unwilling!

  Just then, the Yaksha's movements suddenly stopped. As he was tearing at his opponent's soul, he suddenly discovered that the soul under his claws had a faintly fragrant scent, which was a taste that the Yaksha had never experienced since devouring souls. The Yaksha knew that those who were evil and unforgivable, due to their numerous misdeeds, all had souls that reeked of stench. People with fragrant souls, it seemed, only had those with kind hearts...

  You're not that kind of despicable person after all. Could it be that the Ox-Head and Horse-Face made a mistake? The Yaksha was shocked.

  That's right, it was Ox Head and Horse Face, those two scoundrels who made a mistake! Xiao Chen, who had survived the disaster, shouted out loud. He finally remembered that not long ago, Horse Face had written "Xiao Cheng" in the soul-snatching book he was looking at, not Xiao Chen.

  This is going to be a hassle! The night yaksha who had just figured it out couldn't help but stop.

  "Hey, since you already know I'm innocent, let me go quickly! Xiaochen finally breathed a sigh of relief and struggled hard to push away the Yaksha."

  Let him go? Yaksha was stunned. Yes, that's right, a kind-hearted person can never be swallowed up. If one forcibly devours the soul of a kind-hearted person and is discovered, they will inevitably suffer the wrath of the Five Thunderbolts. The person who said this sentence would absolutely not be Xiao Chen. But who exactly was this terrifying guy hiding deep within Xiao Chen's soul?

  Roar, roar. The nearly mad Xiao Chen was still struggling to tear and bite, I didn't want to just disappear without a word, I wasn't willing, really not willing. Poor Yecha, pitiful Yecha was torn into countless fragments, splashing everywhere. The ruler of the 19th level of hell, Yecha, was gone, and Xiao Chen finally exhausted his last bit of energy.

  Exhausted Xiao Chen finally fell to the ground, powerless, and fainted. From then on, the 19th level of hell also finally returned to calmness, but it was a terrifying silence. Wait, what's that sound? Yes, from afar, someone's voice with a hint of crying had indeed floated over.

  I said, Niu Ge, at this time. I reckon that poor kid named Xiao Chen has already become the midnight snack of the Yaksha. I have committed such a heinous crime, death is not enough to atone for it. But it's just a pity for my lovely wife and my adorable child. Ma Mian said with a sorrowful face.

  If it were in peacetime, Niu Tou would definitely retort with something like that. You're a total loser! You're still a bachelor who's never even held a woman's hand, where did you get the wife and kids from?

  But now, Niu Tou didn't say a word, and even walking was stumbling. He understood that if the soul of that person named Xiao Chen was eaten by the Night Yaksha, not only would he and Ma Mian's souls be scattered, but it would also implicate many people in the underworld. Alas! Why did he and Ma Mian get so messed up? If they hadn't drunk so much wine while on duty, keeping their minds clear, would they have committed such a low-level mistake?

  The cow head finally understood why people in the world advise against getting drunk, because getting drunk causes trouble! This is truly a famous saying, a famous saying! Unfortunately, I realized it a bit late.
