Chapter 2571

Yan Aohan looked at Taishu Yuanxiang and said, "I heard you arrived as soon as I returned. I thought I would have to wait another forty or fifty years."

Taishu Yuanxiang chuckled softly, his face showing more warmth. "You gave us the surprise. We never expected that just dying once would make us residents of the Underworld. Life here is much more leisurely. No wonder people say death is better than life. It truly makes sense."

"Can 'death is better than life' be explained that way?" Yan Xizhong asked curiously.

Taishu Yuanxiang remained gentle. "In my view, it can be explained that way."

Zhu Yanyi then asked Zhu Yanli, "What industry are you in now? Are you helping Mom and Dad?"

Zhu Yanli replied, "Actually, I want to open a music studio. I just don't know if it is allowed."

"Why wouldn't it be allowed?" Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly.

"Now, you just live in a different environment. Everything else is the same. Here, if you want to start a company, you can. If you want to open a shop, you can. If you want to open a studio, you can. Nothing is forbidden.

In the Underworld, you are official residents. If you get bored, you can choose to go through reincarnation. Then, when you die of old age, you can return. The only rule is: do not do evil. If you do evil, your resident status will be revoked."

Zhu Yanli nodded. "Rest assured, we will not do evil."

Being a resident of the Underworld was mostly about enjoying the process and providing opportunities for the spirits here.

Spirits waiting for reincarnation had fixed residences. They were temporary residents, just waiting for their turn. During this wait, they could do things. These actions would turn into benefits for their next life. For example, if they learned music, their innate musical talent would increase when they were reborn.

"Then I will open a music studio," Zhu Yanli said with a smile. "I have nothing to do anyway. I will set up the studio. When Little Monkey and the others arrive, we will decide their future then."

Zhu Yanli and her generation could become Underworld residents for free because of their relationship with Zhu Yanyi. However, Little Monkey and the others, though Zhu Yanyi’s nephews, had different bloodlines. If they could become residents in the future, it would be because they passed the assessment. If not, they would be temporary residents and go through reincarnation. Still, they could talk to Zhu Yanli and the others.

Naturally, Zhu Yanli and the others were not too sad. In the Underworld, they saw clearly that life was just a cycle of birth and death. Seeing it so many times, there was little sadness. Even if their children chose reincarnation and forgot them, they knew their children were cycling through the world, living their lives. So, there was nothing to worry about.

Because of this, Zhu Yanli had more personal space and naturally wanted to arrange things well.

"Sister is opening a studio. What does Brother-in-law plan to do?" Zhu Yanyi asked Taishu Yuanxiang.

"Your brother-in-law will help me," Zhu Shunyao said. "The Azure Sovereign Group needs a mature regional steward. Neither I nor your godfather are suitable. Your godfather is used to management, and I am used to production. We are not good at comprehensive planning and decision-making. Moreover, besides the Underworld agricultural products, the Azure Sovereign Group now has Azure Sovereign Underworld Express and Azure Sovereign Underworld Security Company. We lack the ability for these. So, having your brother-in-law as regional steward is best."

Zhu Shunyao established the Azure Sovereign Group to keep himself busy. Being busy was good for him.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "That is good, as long as Brother-in-law does not mind."

"I naturally do not mind," Taishu Yuanxiang laughed. "But you and the Venerable Yanluo should hold some shares. That way, we have backing."

Although no evil spirits bullied others in the Underworld now, they still worried about potential issues.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly at Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan nodded and said, "When the Azure Sovereign Group is established, I will go there personally to set the company seal. Then, no one will dare to trouble the Azure Sovereign Group."

With the Venerable Yanluo’s seal protecting the Azure Sovereign Group, no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble.

Taishu Yuanxiang added, "In that case, we have no objections."

Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "The Underworld needs development, which requires much unity. Now that there is the Azure Sovereign Group, other groups will appear. This will develop the Underworld’s economy."

Zhu Yanyi also said, "Building a living plane is not easy. Many things must be done step by step. Fortunately, everyone has worked hard these years, especially Mengbao."

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Yan Xizhong. "Mengbao has been helping us since she was ten."

"Huh?" Xie Xinlian snorted. "You have the nerve to say that? I have never seen such irresponsible parents. Tell me, Mengbao is only ten. She hasn’t even finished primary school, yet she is controlling everything. Fortunately, Mengbao is your child and understands everything naturally. If this were in the mortal world, what could a ten-year-old do?"

Zhu Yanyi was stunned, then looked at Yan Aohan. "Husband, we seem to have really forgotten about education."

Yan Aohan smiled bitterly. "Don’t mention it. I forgot about that too. It seems the Underworld school should be established."

Yan Aohan was also troubled by the establishment of the Underworld. The Underworld was not the old Underworld. The old Underworld only needed to handle the healthy reincarnation of spirits. But the Underworld was now a plane for living beings. Healthy reincarnation was just one part. There were other things to do.

For example, building the Underworld’s economy and developing its education. So, after realizing the current situation, Yan Aohan decided to hold a proper meeting.

This time, Yan Aohan gathered all Ten Venerable Yanluo Kings. Also attending was Zhan Guoqing, who managed the economy. Zhu Yanyi, Yan Xizhong, Zhan Diting, Old Black, Old White, and Old Pan, and other spirit gods also attended.

Yan Aohan looked at the Ten Venerable Yanluo Kings and asked, "How is the construction in your ten regions recently?"

King Qin Guang said, "Recently, we are building bridges. The Yellow Springs run through the ten regions, but we do not have bridges there yet. So, we must build bridges first. Also, many residential areas have been built, and some economic department stores have opened."
