The Little King of Hell is Super Timid
小阎王他超怂
Synopsis
The fluffy little demon living in the mountains was suddenly called home by his father one day.
His father wanted him to come back and inherit the family business.
Hearing this, the little demon eagerly grabbed the bundle his dad packed and rushed off to find his father.
But then—
He was brought to the King of Hell’s Hall.
There were evil spirits everywhere, all looking fierce and menacing.
His handsome father, the King of Hell, smiled at him warmly. “My dear son, now that you are an adult, I’m planning to make you the new King of Hell.”
The little demon, who had been afraid of ghosts since childhood, took one look at those terrifying spirits and burst into tears with a loud wail.

His father was giving him a hall full of spirits!
The little demon clutched his bundle and fled on the spot, wiping away tears as he ran.
But the King of Hell clenched his chest and played the sympathy card: “My dear son, I don’t have much time left. My only wish now is to see you take over the family business.”
The soft-hearted little demon eventually accepted the Hall of the King of Hell, tears still in his eyes, and became the Little King of Hell.
To familiarize himself with his duties and build up his courage, the little King of Hell put on his newly made grim reaper’s robes, gripped an iron chain in his hand, and went out to start from the basics, collecting souls.
——
On his very first soul-collecting mission, the little King of Hell encountered the head of the Bo family, a man so ruthless in the mortal world that people called him the “Living King of Hell.”
Meeting this Living King of Hell, the little King of Hell wasn’t scared at all because the man was simply too handsome.
Clutching the iron chain, he tilted up his sweet, innocent little face, gave a shy smile, and asked for both the man’s soul and his love: “You’re about to die. Once you’re dead, would you marry me in the afterlife?”
The big boss: “…”
