Chapter 9 - PLAGUE

"You...you...will pay for this dearly missy" Ran stressed her words angrily at her

"ohh... am waiting for you beautiful" replied Yan while smirking

"hahaha" they both turned towards the sound of laughter

Ye Qinyang entered right at the start of their bickering which he felt refreshing to listen to since it's something he can never get tired of, his love for both of them as his elder sisters, chuckled interrupting their banter,

Yan and Ran turned at once to him they both narrowed their eyes in suspicion at him, Ran was the first to speak

"Yang why are you here? didn't you say you will be leaving on an important work"

Yan "interesting you didn't bring Jin Fen with you?"

Yang smiled at their intuition "well even though I hate to be apart from him, this is something serious and can't be discussed with him" showing them a bunch of jade scrolls along with some memory stones, with a wave of his hand he cleared the table and placed them on the table.

Yan and Ran looked at him questioningly but were silently waiting for him to talk, Yang sat in the chair between both of them, he erected a sound barrier on them, before speaking

"I have two big news with me both are benefitting us but there is some commotion we had to clear for the second information"

Ran frowned her eyes at him "what is it?"

"This time those officials plotted in open, also started their move on innocent people from other worlds, apparently they are planning on becoming the owners of those worlds but it's not as easy as they think it is"

Yan frowned her eyebrows in confusion "why are they suddenly making their moves on those small worlds aren't they under the individual jurisdiction of my master sister"

Ran hesitated a bit before speaking "Lu ManMan went missing for hundreds of years, the last time anyone saw her was the last time you were confined by those officials, later your master searched for a long time before giving up"

Yan widens her eyes in shock, Lu ManMan is the only blood relative of her master Lu Si Cheng, and also quite a talented person, her cultivation level is on par with her master but she refuses to increase her cultivation further to avoid attracting many responsibilities, she's quite a mischief contrary to her master who is rather calm and collected,

"So far did you get any information on her?" Yan asked the siblings who shook their heads in negative

"What were those officials doing in those worlds?" Yan had an inkling that it's not a good thing. after listening to Yang her intuition proved that she is right,

Yang "this is the whole information I could gather, apparently the last time you slaughtered more than half of those officials remember, the curse on you weakened and the number of times you had to reincarnate has also reduced but the number of officials, lucky to them you have already hit the mark of 25,784 and slaughtered 29,889 officials in your berserk state with that you have to get only 24 times remaining for Re-incarnation"

Ran and Yan narrowed their eyes at Ye Qinyang, both of them were looking at him impatiently as he went on showing off his scholarly knowledge, they were very calm on the same note, that if he didn't stop in a few words his going to get beaten by both of them, that's one mutual understanding they both developed over the years,

Yang suddenly felt a chill on his neck when he saw that both of them were looking at him impatiently, he immediately understood that he made a mistake and hastily started talking about the main issue to divert them,

"Ah... also That's that and brother Jin Liwei got a report of natural deaths in certain periods when they investigated it was listed as a sudden plague and the ledgers were fraud, those officials brought of the person who is in charge of those ledgers and the grim-reaper who accepted bribes to manage those souls,"

Yan "normally Jin won't care much about the ledgers because he has capable people to take of them and he focuses on their afterlife activities where his permissions were strictly needed,"

Yang nodded his head "yes, you are right apparently Brother Liwei is a sucker for cute kids and when he was dealing those souls, he found a bunch of young kids who didn't even pass to teens waiting for the afterlife when he asked inquired about them, the ledger mentioned it as plague but aunt Mei confirmed that she didn't instruct any plague over the years on those worlds owners' absence"

Yan looked at Ran for answers, Ran shrugged "I didn't have any news on this, I was busy punishing a few scums in hell"

"Yan the cause of those unnatural deaths we got a lead but I don't know you would be able to bear the news after listening"
