Chapter 706 A Thorny Matter
"Son-in-law trouble!"
Rogue felt misunderstood and quickly explained, "Master, I really don't have any intention of asking for money. I won't ask for anything anymore. You have already given each of our eleven family members a Magic Pearl. What else do we need?
I said the situation is thorny, and indeed it is. I mentioned it to you before, Lord Boldess is expanding the underworld and lacks manpower, so they are capturing people everywhere in the desolate land.
Beckett's soul, along with his two sons, two daughters-in-law, and the twin grandchildren, have all been captured and taken to build houses..."
"What?" Ivy became furious upon hearing this. "How could they do that? The twin grandchildren were only six years old when they died. How could they make such young children participate in building houses?"
Rogue said, "Just because they died at the age of six doesn't mean they are still six now. Ghosts in the underworld also grow up, unless they practice spells. As far as I know, the twin grandchildren and Beckett himself don't have any spells, otherwise they wouldn't have been easily captured."
Old Lady Joelia added, "Ivy, although Beckett and the others' souls are in the underworld, they have been taken by Lord Boldess to work as strong laborers. If you want to save them, you will have to trespass into the underworld and offend Lord Boldess.
It might be easy to secretly take away one or two, but if you try to take away all seven at once, Lord Boldess will definitely not let it go easily. That's what your Master meant by 'thorny'."
It did seem quite thorny!
After careful consideration, Ivy asked, "Why doesn't Lord Boldess dare to harm people with a Magic Pearl?"
Rogue explained, "Because having a Magic Pearl makes them no longer ordinary mortals, and their names will disappear from the Book of Life and Death. Lord Boldess can only govern ordinary mortals listed in the book and has no authority over those outside the book."
"Well then! Alexander and I will go to the underworld and give each of them a Magic Pearl, right?"
"..."
It sounds simple, but the underworld is not an easy place to go!
Rogue and his ten wives were a bit worried.
Ivy casually clapped her hands and said, "By the way, do you want to come and live in the spirit world? If you want to, I'll borrow the mansion from the underworld. I'll use that mansion to negotiate with Lord Boldess. With an extra bargaining chip, our chances of success will be higher."
"The problem is, is there a place for us to live in the spirit world?" Rogue suddenly became less confident.
He had just had a fight with the Lord couple.
Ivy said, "How could there not be? The Lewis family's mansion has already been sucked into the spirit world by me. There are dozens of rooms, big and small, more than enough for all of you to live in."
"The problem is, that is the Lewis family's mansion..." Rogue blushed a bit.
Ivy chuckled, "Is your current mansion your own? Isn't it Lord Kirin's house?"
"But that's different. Kirin is my father, and besides, he was the one who killed me. He owes me. I'm just living in his house."
"Ivy couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, 'Kirin owes you, doesn't the Lewis family owe you too? Don't forget, you are now the ancestor of the Ashford family. Fiona from the Lewis family caused the deaths of seven members of the Ashford family.
As the ancestor of the Ashford family, you have a responsibility and obligation to seek justice for future generations. Go and stay there!'"
"That's a reasonable point. We won't be polite then. Let's go back and pack up, and we'll come find you later!" Rogue said, and with ten wives, he disappeared in an instant.
Ivy returned to the living room, and Alexander had just finished distributing the gold leaves.
All the servants and bodyguards, each holding a handful of gold leaves, shed tears of excitement and happiness.
"I have never seen such a good employer. Giving out gold as benefits...!"
"Yes, I've never seen it before either. One gold leaf is worth a month's salary, and they even gave us so many..."
"We must work hard in the future, wholeheartedly and diligently..."
After sighing for a long time, dozens of people each took their gold leaves back to their own rooms.
The 18 children were still gathered around the treasure chest, watching the fuzzy caterpillar.
Curiously, Ivy approached and discovered that the caterpillar had already thickened to the size of a thumb. She was secretly surprised. Wasn't the growth speed too fast?
It was just a tiny black dot before!
"Mommy, this caterpillar is so strange. It grows as soon as it drinks water."
"Yes, mommy, we only gave it water three times, and it grew this big."
