Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

If this happened anywhere else, and Huo Huo's mother dared to speak to her beloved like that today, wouldn't her beloved be furious with her?

They need to find a way to kidnap their beloved and take them to Pinocchio for a good time.

Should I pretend to be the famous singer Robin from Pinocchio, have an online romance with Xiao Suzi, and then coax him to meet me in real life at Pinocchio?

Or should I pretend to be Huang Quan and launch a night raid on Xiao Suzi to arouse his desires?

Or perhaps he would pretend to be the family head on Sunday and verbally provoke Su Jinyan online?

......

Huo Huo's father is a merchant in the Minghuo Merchant Guild. Although his family's assets cannot be described as wealthy, they are definitely far superior to those of the working class in Xianzhou.

The Minghuo Merchant Guild is not a purely official merchant guild, but it does have official backing, and there are many individual merchants like Huo Huo's father who participate.

As the chief representative of the Tianwai merchant group [Minghuo], Tingyun could decide the fate of the members of the merchant group with just a few words.

Making things difficult for members of the Chamber of Commerce would be an extremely easy thing.

Of course, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. Tingyun is kind, tactful, and good at communicating with people. She would never easily do something like cutting off someone's livelihood.

But just because Tingyun wouldn't do it doesn't mean Su Jinyan wouldn't.

Huo Huo was bullied like this by her family. Even if Huo Huo could swallow this anger, he couldn't.

Under someone's covert instigation, the members of the Minghuo Merchant Guild soon learned an extremely important secret.

Huo Huo's father's daughter, Huo Huo, has recently been promoted to judge of the Ten Kings' Department [Department of Detention].

After making inquiries from various sources, this news was confirmed.

The Ten Kings Division is the most mysterious department on the Immortal Ship. The underworld messengers are responsible for guiding the Immortal Ship residents whose lifespan is about to end into the Hall of Cause and Effect and returning to Nirvana.

If someone violates the ten most heinous laws, the underworld messengers will accompany the judge on his rounds to punish them.

It is worth noting here that the judge's position is above that of the underworld officials.

Anyone who enters the Ten Kings' Office must sever all worldly ties and abandon all interactions.

This is also to prevent the staff of the Ten Kings Bureau from having worldly attachments and thus engaging in favoritism and abuse of power.

For thousands of years, no one has ever known about the Judge's interpersonal relationships in the mortal world.

The merchants of the Minghuo Merchant Guild couldn't help but feel restless.

If one is on good terms with the family of the judge of the Ten Kings' Court, one might be able to enter the Hall of Cause and Effect a few days later when one's time is up, which could be an extension.

Huo Huo's father received a constant stream of business orders.

Whenever someone asks about Huo Huo, Huo Huo's father always proudly claims that sending Huo Huo to work in the Ten Kings' Office was the best decision he ever made in his life.

"Riding the spring breeze with swift hooves" is undoubtedly the most accurate description of Huo Huo's father.

Huo Huo's father received more and more business orders, which was beyond his capacity.

In order to deliver the goods on time, Huo Huo's father did not hesitate to take out huge loans and rent three factories to produce the goods at all costs.

However, as time went on, some people began to question the authenticity of that statement.

Some even suspect that it was a rumor fabricated by Huo Huo's father.

Otherwise, why has Huo Huo never been seen coming home, not even once? No one has ever seen her.

Ordinary people know very little about the Ten Kings Division. They think that the judges of the Ten Kings Division, like the members of the Six Divisions, can go home to visit their families during their holidays.

Huo Huo's father started to panic. If other businessmen found out that his family had already severed ties with Huo Huo, the deceived businessmen would definitely cancel their orders.

Moreover, what merchants fear most is a loss of credit, as it is very difficult to repair once it is damaged.

The resulting chain reaction would have brought him to the brink of bankruptcy, given his huge debts.

Fortunately, Huo Huo is a well-behaved child. He is Huo Huo's father, and if he invites Huo Huo home for a simple meal, Huo Huo will definitely not refuse.

That night, after returning home, Huo Huo's father told Huo Huo's mother about his decision.

To her surprise, she was met with a fearful and timid look from Huo Huo's mother.

Huo Huo's father suddenly had a bad feeling: "What's wrong?"

Huo Huo's mother's lips were stiff: "I'm afraid that Huo Huo's return will bring misfortune to our family."

Huo Huo's father scoffed, "It's just to pick her up from school and have a casual meal with everyone."

"Just send Huo Huo back after she finishes eating. Anyway, I will never agree to her staying at home."

"Who would have thought that Huo Huo, that little money-loser, would actually grow into a money tree?"

Huo Huo's mother: "..."

Huo Huo's father asked in confusion, "What's with that expression?"

Huo Huo's mother looked distressed and had no choice but to tell the truth: "My dear, Huo Huo actually went home a few days ago..."

However, Huo Huo's mother was afraid that Huo Huo, this jinx, would bring misfortune to the family.

Therefore, Huo Huo's mother not only chased Huo Huo away, but also threw away the gifts Huo Huo brought in front of her.

It seems there's no possibility of repairing the relationship between Huo Huo's family and Huo Huo herself.

Huo Huo's father froze, and his hand holding the chopsticks trembled involuntarily.

"Why didn't you tell me about something so important sooner?"

Huo Huo's mother stammered, "I...I thought..."

Huo Huo's father's face contorted with rage as he smashed the wine jug to pieces: "What do you think?"

"Huo Huo finally came back, and this is how you treat her?"

Huo Huo's mother: "..."

The harsh words Su Jinyan uttered to Huo Huo's mother before leaving echoed in her ears again.

[Old man, remember this: today you're the one who chased Huo Huo away.]

Even if you beg Huo Huo to come back, even if you kneel before her, she might not return with you.

Huo Huo's father took a deep breath: "I'll go to the Ten Kings' Office tomorrow and coax Huo Huo back no matter what."

Merchants don't get up early for nothing; for the sake of profit, all of this is worthwhile.

As long as the father-daughter relationship can be temporarily repaired, I'd be willing to do anything, even if Huo Huo calls me "Dad" or I call Huo Huo "Dad".

Chapter 181 Did I raise Huo Huo badly? (6K7)

The courtyard was decorated with festive red ornaments, and large red lanterns hung high, radiating a warm glow.

Vases filled with fresh flowers are placed on both sides of the courtyard, emitting a faint fragrance.

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers and the deafening sound of gongs and drums, Huo Huo, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, wearing a phoenix crown and a red veil, with a shy and sweet smile on her lips, walked gracefully towards the stage, supported by Xue Yi and Han Ya.

Many guests at the banquet, such as Xiao Guizi, Jing Yuan, Xing, Yan Qing, Jing Liu, Fu Xuan, Qing Que, and others, all cast kind glances at Huo Huo.

After stepping over the fire pit, Huo Huo walked directly opposite the groom, Su Jinyan.

The officiant loudly proclaimed: "First bow to Heaven and Earth, second bow to the parents, husband and wife bow to each other, then escort them to the bridal chamber."

Huo Huo stood there giggling foolishly: "Hehe, hehe, hehehehehehe~"

In the bridal chamber, Su Jinyan slowly lifted Huo Huo's red veil.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the scene changed, and Huo Huo was brought to the judge's seat to be judged by Xue Yi.

boom--

Judge Xueyi struck the gavel: "The defendant, Huo Huo, neglected his duties during his tenure as a judge, causing serious errors. I request that he be sentenced to death."

The court clerk, Han Ya, read out the verdict: "The verdict is now being read: Huo Huo is sentenced to death!"

Huo Huo suddenly woke up from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat, and twisted and turned in bed.

That's terrifying! It was a beautiful dream at first, how did it suddenly turn into a nightmare?

No, no, no...

As if she had thought of something, Huo Huo immediately stopped wriggling and looked cautiously at Su Jinyan.

I think I woke him up.

Su Jinyan opened his eyes and quietly looked at Huo Huo.

Huo Huo was a little flustered and suddenly threw herself into Su Jinyan's arms, nuzzling her little head against his chest.

"Please, please don't sentence me to death..."

Su Jinyan was both amused and exasperated: "Huo Huo, I really want to see what's going on in your little head?"

Huo Huo's fox ears drooped as she weakly said, "If, if the skull were to be opened, people would die."

Su Jinyan rubbed Huo Huo's little head: "I told you last night to watch less horror movies."
