Chapter 159 Appeal
In addition to the top floor where Hei Huomian is located, there are Piaos serving on every floor of the Ming Xin Building. Even the five underground floors have Piaos who are responsible for the entry and exit between the human world and the underworld, maintaining public order, and providing assistance to the Black and White Impermanence in capturing souls.
Even though Hei Huomian was afraid that Piao would not know about it, he had the protection of many secret guards who would definitely keep a safe distance so that it would be difficult for Piao to approach him, so that Hei Huomian would not tremble and lose his composure in public.
Therefore, it was really surprising that so many people suddenly appeared to surround Heihuo Mian to the extent of calling for help.
Bai Shuiru shook off the fantasy in her mind of Hei Huomian cowering in front of Piao, and suddenly snorted coldly, "Here comes the wolf again! Do you think I will be fooled?" After turning around and pressing the down button of the eight elevators one by one, she began to check her phone with her head down.
The secret guard who came to ask for help ordered:
"What are you guys still doing here?! Twelve should stay with Miss Bai, why don't the rest of you go and provide support?!"
The secret guards looked at Bai Shuiru hurriedly and hesitantly, then said goodbye and disappeared.
In the open area of the corridor on the top floor of the Mingxin Building, more than 20 people excitedly surrounded Heihuo Mian and his secret guards and approached step by step.
"We want to make use of our specialties too! Please ask the Hades to hold a revival competition as well!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We also have the same rights and demand equal treatment!"
"The Dark Emperor is our Dark Emperor first, and then the chairman of this Dark Heart. You are open-minded and wise. Please agree to our request!"
Seeing that the crowd was getting closer and closer, although Hei Huomian was still keeping a two-meter distance from the enemy under the protection of the secret guards, if you looked carefully, you could tell that his calves were trembling slightly.
Shuiru, Shuiru, come here quickly!
I can't live without you! I really can't live without you!
Hei Huomian tried to straighten his back, swallowing his saliva and praying silently in his heart, when he suddenly heard a firm and majestic roar:
"Everyone retreat!"
Hei Huomian and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bai Shuiru standing thirty meters away. Although she was panting slightly, she was calm and composed, and her temperament was noble and imposing. "If you have something to say, it will be easier to solve it. If you insist on using violence against Mr. Hei, then remember to think carefully first!"
Bai Shuiru took a step forward slowly, silently exerting full pressure on the people who were in a dilemma.
Even though the crowd had never seen Bai Shuiru, they had all heard of her name. Today, they saw that the future Queen of the Underworld was indeed as kind-hearted and noble as the rumors said. They immediately turned around and bowed to her, then turned around and saluted Hei Huomian.
"Miss Bai, m..." After receiving the warning from the secret guard, the crowd hurriedly changed their words:
"Mr. Hei, we really don't mean to... embarrass you. We are also official employees of Ming Xin. We just want Mr. Hei to hold an anniversary skills competition for our Piao to select talents and let us use our talents to realize our self-worth."
"Ms. Bai, you helped us appeal to Mr. Hei before. Please help us this time too!"
That's all, right?
Without waiting for the floating creatures to beg again, Bai Shuiru slowly approached them, raised her hand and pressed it down slightly, signaling them to stay calm. She casually looked at one of the floating creatures with one missing hand and one leg, and said, "Let me try and see," closing her eyes and concentrating.
Bai Shuiru, you have read the verdict several times and you should be able to master it.
Bai Shuiru muttered silently in her heart, her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly like a dancing butterfly. She took a deep breath for a few seconds, and when she opened her eyes again, a faint silver light flashed in them.
There was indeed a scroll floating above the one-legged man.
Bai Shuiru used his mind to flip through the judgment. After two seconds of silence, he picked up some information that the public could hear and read:
"You were born...intelligent...on your way to report to the jewelry design department of Country I University, you were kidnapped and sold to the dark web...you died of illness after being tortured for three years."
The one-legged man knelt there sobbing, and after a while he murmured:
"I, Chengfeng, must pay for the sins I committed in my previous life..." He suddenly remembered something, and hope rekindled in his dull, translucent eyes, all of which were focused on Bai Shuiru. "Ms. Bai, I have seen the jewelry you designed and made, and I can read the endless vitality from them. So even though I look like this now, I want to be like you and seize the last chance to fight for my dream!"
Bai Shuiru nodded gently with sympathy and approval, raised her hand and lightly stroked Piao's forehead, her eyes were full of regret and compassion, her sigh was beyond words, there was a kind of glow that blended and complemented motherhood and divinity surrounding her, which easily won people over.
All the Piao people, including Li You, knelt on one knee, as devoutly as if they were worshiping a god; even Hei Huomian bowed with an expression of reverence and admiration.
The one-legged man wiped away his tears, struggled to stand up, placed his right elbow across his chest, swung his left arm backward, and spoke in a heroic and high-spirited voice:
"I am also a sharp sword of foreign language negotiation. I am ready to travel the universe side by side with my motherland and become the best street fighter in the interstellar space..."
Because of the sudden change in style, Bai Shuiru smiled awkwardly and nodded to "Zhong Er" Piao, then turned around and looked at the other two young twin girls.
"You sisters came out of the mountains, and your lifelong wish was to carry forward the lost brocade dyeing and weaving techniques of your hometown. Unfortunately, you met the wrong person. Not only were you deceived and let down by the same person, but he also stole your secret recipe and techniques. Not only did you fail to get them back, you were also slandered and both..."
Bai Shuiru closed his eyes and could not bear to repeat the contents of the verdict. He raised his hand and lightly stroked Liang Piao's face. From his palm, a hazy silver light as soft as moonlight began to reflect on the other person's face.
The twins were originally in tears because of the mention of their past lives, but soon after, they felt the silver light slowly seeping into every cell of their bodies, filling up the gaps and cracks bit by bit. They looked up at Bai Shuiru with gratitude, wiped away their tears of gratitude, and said in unison:
"We feel so sorry for our fellow countrymen, our parents, and our brothers and sisters. Although we want to redress the injustice, we also want to pass on our skills to future generations and reverse the situation where they are being lost!"
Bai Shuiru smiled and nodded, her eyes met with a young float who was struggling to push through the crowd of floats and couldn't wait to squeeze in front of her.
"I, I'm different from them," the young Piao shook out a portrait and proudly showed it in front of Bai Shuiru and the other Piaos, "I just want to find a partner! This is a portrait I drew myself. She should be as smart as Miss Bai and as pretty as..." Before he could finish his words, Piao next to him covered his mouth and quickly dragged him away.
"I've made it clear that marriage and love issues are not under my jurisdiction, nor are they under the management of any functional department of the underworld." Hei Huomian teleported and protected Bai Shuiru. "The underworld is just a temporary residence for reincarnation and a place of punishment for sins. You don't want to live here for a long time, so you ask for your marriage and love issues to be resolved at the same time?" The sentence ended with a slight tremor. Not only did he take two steps back, he also pulled the person's clothes, insisting that the person accompany him to cover him.
Although Hei Huomian's eyebrows and eyes were hidden by sunglasses, Bai Shuiru could still read the demeanor of "I am in full control" from his nose that was as tall as a mountain and his lips.
It was as if he was the real lord of the underworld - Hades.
but……
Bai Shuiru put her hands behind her back and slapped away the man's lingering hands. When she straightened her expression and looked at the crowd, there was already a chair in front of her.
Bai Shuiru thanked him and just sat down when she heard "There's an assassin!" She was pulled up by Hei Huomian, protected in front of her, and thrown to the ground.
Then there were several "hidden weapons"
At the same time, there were curses of "Why are you acting as a savior?!" A person close to Bai Shuiru suddenly turned his hands into satin, and quickly wrapped around Bai Shuiru's neck like a snake escaping from a cave, tightening layer by layer.
Hei Huomian turned around, protected Bai Shuiru with one hand and grabbed the "ribbon" with the other hand. His eyes flashed, and he shattered the "ribbon" with force from his fingers.
The assassin fell to the ground, looked up and wailed in pain as he saw his two arms completely disappear.
The leader of the secret guards stood in front of Bai Shuiru, and the other secret guards had already divided the work, some stood in front of Bai Shuiru, some separated the secret guards to prevent them from robbing in the chaos, and some rushed to the place where the secret arrows were shot.
“Shui Ru, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?!” Hei Huomian looked around at the person, took out his cell phone and was about to call 1/2/0.
Bai Shuiru shook her head in denial, broke free from Heihuomian's arms, stretched out her hand, bent down and squatted on the ground, piecing together the fragments on the marble floor.
Hei Huomian helped to piece together the small pieces on the edge of the pattern, wondering:
"Is this a firecracker flower?"
Bai Shuiru nodded silently, her brows slightly furrowed.
This flower was once mentioned by Hao Mianmian and I when we were joking; to be more precise, it was a mutual encouragement between the original body and Hao Mianmian.
——We sisters will definitely become famous, and we will become famous together! Just like the crackling of firecrackers, our fame will shock people at home and abroad!
——It is one thing to have a shocking reputation, but it is unlucky for firecrackers to scatter and break into pieces as soon as they go off.
——Puh, puh, puh! Why are you showing off your knowledge to me! Change your words! Come, look at my mouth shape, and repeat with me: "It crackles like a firecracker, and its reputation is shocking both at home and abroad!"
——It crackles like a firecracker and is famous both at home and abroad~! Hahaha!
Bai Shuiru stood up and turned to look at the place where the ball had just been thrown.
This is a warning.
"You know who did it, right?" Hei Huomian held Bai Shuiru's wrist with concern, signaled the secret guards to take action with his eyes, and asked Li You to let everyone float back first.
"There's no rush for this, let's talk about it later." After Bai Shuiru and the leader of the secret guards confirmed that security had returned to normal, they signaled the scattered people to gather again.
"M, Ms. Bai, I have real skills in drug research and development. I have also participated in formulating a new Mengpo soup with Mengpo! I have also won the third, fourth and seventh place in the top ten most popular Mengpo soup flavors in our Piaoli self-evaluation."
Bai Shuiru couldn't help laughing out loud, then reached behind her and slapped away Hei Huomian's hand that was pulling at the corner of her clothes, and nodded in response, "Not bad, not bad, you can get a position in Meng Po's place..."
Bai Shuiru received a look from Li You, who was in charge of recording, and cleared his throat and changed the subject:
"As for you, you suddenly got an inspiration while crossing the road. You were distracted by your work and were hit by an unscrupulous motorcycle that ran a red light while crossing the zebra crossing. You were declared brain dead after being in a coma for half a year. And you will be allowed to reincarnate in a year. Ming Xin does have a pharmaceutical company..."
As soon as Bai Shuiru finished speaking, the man with glasses had already nodded his head like crazy, almost sliding to his knees in front of her, "Right, right, right! If I can't become famous in my lifetime, and if I die without my works being published, benefiting others, and gaining recognition, I will never be reincarnated!!"
"That's right! We will never be reincarnated even as humans!"
Bai Shuiru sighed secretly:
Please, you are already dead, okay? You still don't want to be reincarnated.
Let’s not talk about how many disasters he has to endure, how many karmic debts he has to pay, how much merit he has to accumulate, and how many reincarnations he has to cultivate before he can be reborn as a human being. Hei Huo Mian only has a floating vein in the underworld, and he doesn’t work there and get paid. Is it useful to threaten him with his reincarnation rate? Really.
"They are right." Amid the expectant gazes of the crowd, Bai Shuiru followed the path left by the crowd with half respect and half fear, walked in front of Hei Huomian, and solemnly suggested:
"Recruiting talented people and assigning them to the right positions have always been a must for those in high positions. The chairman treats everyone equally and has everyone in mind. Naturally, he has a plan in place, but it's still in the process of preparation and arrangement, right?" She did not forget to signal the man to agree first, to ease the situation before making long-term plans.
"I believe that even the underworld still needs original culture to flourish. Since you were able to seek justice for the designer Piao back then, you can also seek justice for them today."
Bai Shuiru noticed that Hei Huomian took advantage of the situation to hold her hand and quickly clasped their fingers together, so she lowered her eyes to look at him. When she raised her eyes again, she caught a glimpse of him stealing a glance at her through the sunglasses. Her heart softened as their fingers gently caressed and entangled each other.
"If I suggest to the Hades that we hold an original cultural and creative competition, the winners can accumulate varying amounts of merit, eliminate their sins, and be reborn sooner, is that okay?"
When Bai Shuiru heard Hei Huomian mention the word "Underworld Emperor", she trembled noticeably and involuntarily pulled back her hand which was quickly getting cold. However, she didn't expect that Hei Huomian's big hand would wrap her small hand even tighter. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at him, only to find that he had been staring at her for who knows how long.
Hei Huomian rarely showed a fleeting smile to the crowd and nodded, "Indeed, I originally planned to hold the competition against Piao after the human competition was over, and after taking stock and summarizing the situation." He then turned his gaze to Li You who had been protecting him.
"That's right. Mr. Hei has asked me to prepare a plan, and it has just been approved." Li You, who had been holding a tablet in front of Hei Huomian, hurriedly lowered his head to pull out the document and read out the detailed competition schedule, judges, and award arrangements in public.
Bai Shuiru's suspicious gaze moved from Heihuo Mianmian to the other person's hand that was holding tightly around her.
After listening to Li You read out the rules of the competition, the crowd couldn't help but cheer:
"Very good!!"
"I knew Mr. Hei had us in his heart! You are so wise and righteous, you will definitely be re-elected. We voted for you with both hands and feet!"
"Yes, if that's the case, then we will definitely elect you for another term!"
Election? Re-election?
Bai Shuiru once again looked at Hei Huomian with suspicion and sympathy.
