"Wait, I'll log in on the computer. This phone screen isn't satisfying enough!"
"I'll switch to a better network too..."
"I don't know why, but I'm starting to laugh hahaha..."
"The person upstairs is already laughing."
In the live stream.
The viewers, initially bewildered, turned to amusement.
It turned out that even the underworld had moments that brought a knowing smile.
Usually, through the live stream camera, they saw the ghost messengers at work.
Guiding souls, sending dreams, or participating in battles to protect the human realm...
At those times, they saw stern and diligent ghost messengers.
Even if there were some humorous and fun scenes, they were few.
But now.
Watching the scenes unfold at the annual meeting, they suddenly felt they were getting to know the ghost messengers anew.
It turned out ghost messengers also joked, played pranks, tricked their juniors, and ran around laughing heartily...
Without the usual seriousness and solemnity, without the usual authority, they were more lively and relatable.
They didn't know if this description was accurate.
But at this very moment, they only felt...
Beneath those work uniforms, the ghost messengers were actually so interesting, so endearing...
"Swordsman tipped the stream with Watermelon*19, with the message: Streamer, wake up quickly and play together~"
"Meng Po, keep it up! Go, go, go—!"
"Hahahaha, another ghost messenger got hit!"
"Huh... it seems another drunk ghost messenger is waking up?"
...
In the grand hall.
Amidst the aroma of wine.
The first to get drunk, the newly promoted captain of the sealing team, suddenly stood up.
He swept his gaze around, extended his hand, and cast a sealing spell.
With a flash of golden light, a senior who had been running in circles in the hall was immediately caught.
The temporarily sealed senior: "……?"
What's going on?
The newly promoted captain of the sealing team walked over step by step, still a bit tipsy but with a hint of seriousness on his face.
"Pop quiz time, within the seal, what is the most crucial element?
What is the concept of sealing? Into how many categories can sealing be divided?
If you can't answer within one minute, you'll have to copy it a hundred times."
The temporarily sealed senior: "……?"
Hey, hey, he's just a patrol member!
How could he possibly memorize all one hundred categories of sealing?
Even if the Eastern Hall specialized in sealing, they had their own areas of expertise!
This was cross-disciplinary quizzing!
"Heh..."
The newly promoted captain of the sealing team sneered, "Not studying diligently and slacking off, are we?"
With that, he moved his hand, and the temporarily sealed senior felt a jolt of electricity pass through the seal on him.
"!!!"
The senior was stunned. Although the damage was minimal, still!
"Why are you even resorting to physical action?! Didn't you say I just have to copy it a hundred times?"
"Hahaha..." Another senior nearby burst into laughter, "What logic are you trying to reason with a drunk ghost with?"
As soon as the words fell, another seal struck.
Temporarily sealed Senior #2: "..."
What did he do wrong? He just laughed out loud...
Temporarily sealed Senior #1: "..."
He didn't do anything wrong either, he just happened to be passing by...
...
In another corner of the hall.
The entire annual meeting had descended into chaos, and naturally, no one remembered to force-feed anyone more wine.
Jiang Lin, who had been dozing off hazily, suddenly felt something move inside his sleeve.
He reached in to feel it; it was smooth.
When he took it out, it was a large white egg.
The colorful egg nuzzled into its owner's palm.
Is Master okay?
The next moment, the egg was tapped.
The colorful egg: "……?"
After tapping the colorful egg with his hand, Jiang Lin held it to his ear to listen.
Then he placed it on the edge of the table and tapped it again.
The egg remained intact.
What kind of egg was this? It was quite sturdy!
Jiang Lin's hazy eyes showed confusion. He placed the egg on the dining table and picked up a nearby bowl.
He raised it high and smashed it down.
He was determined to see what was inside this egg today!
"!!!"
The colorful egg was shocked. It looked at the raised white jade bowl and then at its owner's expression, finally sensing something was amiss.
Clang—!
The white jade bowl came down, hitting the dining table.
The colorful egg tumbled twice, narrowly dodging it, and looked at its owner with lingering fear.
What, what was going on?
Did its owner have the urge to eat it again?!
It could vaguely sense that its owner's state was not quite right, but!
This was a blind spot in its knowledge!
Seeking help, what happened to its owner?!
For a moment, the large white egg turned even paler.
"Still running?"
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow, holding a white jade bowl in each hand, and lunged towards the large white egg.
What was hidden inside this moving, colorful egg?
The colorful egg dodged left and right, frantically hiding on the dining table.
Fortunately, its owner's head and body were uncoordinated now, reducing accuracy and speed.
Otherwise, it might have met its end here today.
As the colorful egg felt fortunate, it suddenly noticed a shadow appear above it.
Looking up, it saw several bowls and plates being levitated by its owner's ghost energy, surrounding it.
"!!!"
Master, have mercy!
The colorful egg trembled with fear. A flash of red light emanated from its body, and its speed suddenly increased as it shot out.
"Stop! Get in the bowl quickly!"
Behind it, Jiang Lin roared and gave chase.
Following him were several white jade-like bowls and plates.
The colorful egg glanced back and immediately dared not stop.
Its colors kept changing, filled with terror!
It was so hard to be an egg, just trying to survive—!
...
Prince Jian'an caught sight of the person and egg chasing each other and was about to step forward to check, lest Jiang Lin do something foolish while drunk.
However, before he could get close, a large iron hammer suddenly flew from the side.
He instinctively dodged.
"Dong—!"
The large iron hammer smashed directly into the wall of the grand hall.
Spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the wall, but quickly returned to their original state.
From a distance, Meng Po looked over with a cold smile and icy eyes.
"You dare cause trouble in my territory? You're quite bold!"
"However, you won't be so lucky next time."
Meng Po beckoned with her right hand, and the large iron hammer embedded in the wall felt its owner's call, moved, and flew back into her hand.
Prince Jian'an was slightly startled. Why did it hit him?
He scanned his surroundings, only to see the captains who had been running in circles around the hall had all taken the opportunity to escape to other corners.
Prince Jian'an felt a sense of unease.
This unease wasn't due to Meng Po's attack...
His gaze fell on Meng Po's left hand, which wasn't holding the hammer.
Her fair fingers were gripping a white jade wine pot!
This girl was still drinking!
How long would this drunken frenzy last?!
After all, this was no ordinary wine.
Although it was easy to get drunk, it also provided a large amount of Yin energy, and it was easier to convert into ghost energy than ordinary Yin energy!
Therefore, if Meng Po continued to drink...
Seeing Meng Po raise the pot and take another gulp, Prince Jian'an flashed away, no longer able to concern himself with Jiang Lin's situation.
