"What do you mean, I'm willing?"
Qin Huaiyi, who had been handed the Yin Officer's badge, was initially stunned, utterly clueless about what his daughter was talking about.
But immediately after, he heard a voice, a very solemn voice emanating from the badge in his hand, asking him:
"Above the vast azure sky, beneath the mysterious earth, by my command, kings and lords are appointed. Qin Wenyi, I desire to make you an official, to soothe the people, and serve the masses, are you willing?"
"What... what is this?"
Hearing this voice, Qin Huaiyi, extremely startled, bewilderedly looked down at the Yin Officer's badge in his hand.
"Dad, quickly say I'm willing, say it!"
Qin Wenruo urgently cried aloud.
"Why do I have to say I'm willing? I'm willing!"
Qin Huaiyi first inquired doubtfully, but once he finished his inquiry, he didn't wait for Qin Wenruo's response and just said 'I am willing'.
Even though he didn't know why his daughter had instructed him as such, the serious situation before his eyes left him with no time to ponder.
Trusting his daughter, he didn't wait for her to clearly explain the reason, and just said 'I am willing' as she advised.
Hum!
As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a slight trembling of the Yin Officer's badge, a golden light shot out and entered Qin Huaiyi's body.
The next moment, Qin Huaiyi's appearance changed.
More accurately, he had acquired a new set of clothes.
It had a very unique style, fairly similar to a constabulary.
These clothes came from the Underworld, and didn't resemble any uniform of constabulary from any dynasty in the human world.
Furthermore, an iron ruler hung from Qin Huaiyi's left side waist while a rope remained affixed on his right side.
The iron ruler was used for hitting people, while the rope was used for catching them.
"I...I..."
The sudden transformation left Qin Huaiyi dumbfounded.
He immediately recognized his new identity, his face showing disbelief, "I... have become a Yin Officer?"
Even though he was once a prefect while living, it didn't make a difference in the end, after death, he still remained an ordinary Yin Spirit.
The sudden change into a Yin Officer for him was simply more thrilling than the year he successfully passed the imperial examination.
"Haha!"
Gang Shou and Ah Qing, who were repeatedly encountering dangers and unable to fight back, noticed what was happening here, they burst out laughing, rushing back until they were standing beside Qin Huaiyi.
"Mr. Qin, we leave it in your hands!"
"Rest assured, I've got this!"
Feeling the sudden surge of enormous power within him, Qin Huaiyi was brimming with confidence. Taking a steadfast step forward, he confronted the first-class evil zombie.
"You all focus on rescuing the people, leave the rest to me."
He confidently declared, taking the iron ruler in one hand and the rope in the other. Standing in front of everyone, the Yin Officer Qin Huaiyi charged directly towards the zombie horde.
The horde of zombies, including the first-class evil zombie, all looked perturbed.
The sudden transformation of Qin Huaiyi had taken them aback and the aura emanating from him instilled fear in them.
As a Yin Officer, he was the natural adversary to evil ghosts and zombies.
After all, their capture was the duty of a Yin Officer.
"Roaring!"
The first-class zombie was the first to instruct the other zombies, trying to test Qin Huaiyi's power.
Four iron corpses rushed towards Qin Huaiyi, brandishing their sharp claws.
While Qin Huaiyi's aura induced fear in them, the overpowering presence of the first-class zombie made them incapable of resisting.
In their panic and fear, they still ended up charging towards Qin Huaiyi.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Qin Huaiyi swung his Iron Ruler, wreaking havoc amongst the four Iron corpses.
When receiving the Underworld badge, not only had Xiao Mu's strength increased compared to when he received the Heavenly Soldier's badge, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor had also seen a significant enhancement.
Thus, the quality of this Underworld badge was slightly superior to the Heavenly Soldier's badge granted to Ancestor Xu.
The power difference between Ancestor Xu and the Blue Blood Ghost was initially slight, yet Qin Huaiyi's strength surpassed the Blue Blood Ghost and was comparable to a rank two evil zombie's.
"Roar!"
With a swing, he killed all four Iron corpses.
This result left Qin Huaiyi dumbfounded. He stared at the Iron Ruler in his hand in disbelief.
He had never anticipated nor dared to believe that his power would leap so dramatically after becoming an Underworld official. The Iron corpses, who were previously beyond his league, couldn't fend off a single strike from him now.
"Roar..."
Witnessing this scene, the rank one evil zombie panicked and turned to flee.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Brimming with confidence, Qin Huaiyi sprinted after it. Within moments, he caught up with the evil zombie, and with the rope in his left hand swiftly out, immediately shackled and secured the evil zombie.
This was the Binding Yin Rope, or the Soul-hooking Rope. It might not be equivalent to the Curse Ghost's Soul-hooking Rope, but it was used by Underworld officials to apprehend escaped Yin spirits on the run.
Zombies were also likely to get restrained this way.
The moment the rank one evil zombie was bound by the Binding Yin Rope, it was immobilized.
The sight of this spooked the other zombies who, disregarding everything, started to flee in every direction.
Gang Shou and Ah Qing immediately seized the opportunity to pursue and kill, leaving the Zombie Horde scattered in all directions.
Qin Wenruo took this chance to rescue the other Yin spirits.
The Yin spirits thanked them profusely, with feelings of gratitude, and at the same time, rejoiced at their narrow escape.
"Dad, please go assist Brother Gang Shou and Sister Ah Qing at the altar. I'll protect everyone here and ensure their safe departure."
After the battle, Qin Wenruo explained everything to Qin Huaiyi. From how he encountered Xiao Mu and his team, how Xiao Mu granted him an Underworld official's badge, his mission of rescuing people, and what Xiao Mu and his team were currently doing.
After briefing him, Qin Wenruo asked Qin Huaiyi to go and aid Xiao Mu.
Just as Xiao Mu had anticipated, when Qin Huaiyi heard his benefactor was fighting a rank three evil zombie, he immediately said, "We should assist. Mr. Gang Shou, Miss Ah Qing, shall we go together?"
"Alright!"
Gang Shou agreed, then turned to Ah Qing, "Ah Qing, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
"I'm okay thanks to the Ward Off Evil Talisman!"
Despite furrowing her brows, Ah Qing managed a smile. She lit up a Ward Off Evil Talisman and utilized it on herself.
The Corpse Poison was dispelled, and the wound on her shoulder caused by a zombie was slowly healing.
"Let's go!"
The trio bid Qin Wenruo farewell and started moving towards the altar.
They soon neared the altar.
Xiao Mu's team was still locked in combat with the rank three evil zombie. The battle was fierce and intense.
Observing this scene, both Gang Shou and Ah Qing couldn't help but pale.
The strength of the rank three evil zombie was immense. If they joined the battle, they wouldn't be offering much help. Instead, they might become the zombie's target and become burdensome.
Qin Huaiyi also noted this and quickly suggested, "Let me go and help Mr. Mu alone. You two stay here and look after this rank one evil zombie."
Left with no choice, Gang Shou and Ah Qing agreed.
After entrusting the rank one evil zombie to Gang Shou and Ah Qing, Qin Huaiyi rushed towards the altar.
Amidst all those people on the altar, he recognized Xiao Mu instantly.
"Mr. Mu, I'm here to assist you!"
As he roared, he rushed towards the altar, brandishing his Iron Ruler. Woosh! It aimed straight for the rank three evil zombie, entangled with Xiao Mu and his team.
