Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Money Can Make the Ghost Grind - 1
Feeling the intensely cold aura emanating from the man in black, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but take a step back in surprise.
Ye You blinked his purple eyes and whispered into her ear, "This is the ssenger of Death."
"I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid," Qin Sisi asked worriedly in a low voice, "Can you defeat him?"
Ye You replied, "I can, but it’s better not to fight. We still have many ghosts to find. If we offend the ssenger of Death, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
Qin Sisi nodded, mustered up the courage to walk forward a step, and loudly addressed the ssenger of Death, "Lord Ghost, may we have this soul?"
The man in the black cloak tilted his head in Qin Sisi’s direction. Qin Sisi couldn’t see his face; it was completely shadowed under the wide brim of his hat. But she could feel him watching her.
After a minute, the ssenger of Death turned his head back as if he hadn’t heard Qin Sisi. He continued addressing Wang Longhe, "Wang Longhe, it’s ti to go."
Wang Longhe bowed towards the ssenger of Death, then said to Mrs. Wang Luo in an old voice, "Xiao Luo, let’s be reincarnated together. In our next life, we’ll still be husband and wife."
Slowly shaking her head, Mrs. Wang Luo replied, "I can’t go with you. I’ve promised to give my soul power to this young lady. You should go ahead. If it’s ant to be, we will reunite in a hundred years."
With determination in his voice, Wang Longhe responded, "No, I won’t let you leave
again. Wherever you go, I will follow."
Hearing Wang Longhe say this made Qin Sisi feel happy. She addressed the ssenger of Death once again, "Lord Ghost, please let us have this soul!"
The ssenger of Death turned his hat towards Qin Sisi again and said in a cold and monotonous tone, "Petty mortal, you dare to collect a large number of souls. What is your intention? Be quick to confess, or I will report to King Yama, punishing your flesh and annihilating your soul."
Even with Ye You by her side, Qin Sisi was frightened by the ssenger of Death. For the first ti, she felt death so close.
Ye You, sitting on Qin Sisi’s shoulder, owed softly, reminding her how to respond.
Qin Sisi took a deep breath, suppressing her fear, and said to the ssenger of Death, "Please, Lord Ghost, I collect soul power for a mysterious realm, unrelated to the Underworld or the Human World. I an no harm. If I had devoured any ghosts, you would surely have seen it."
The ssenger of Death fell silent, seeming to ponder. Those who have devoured ghosts would emanate a dark, cold aura. Indeed, Qin Sisi did not have such an aura.
After a mont, the ssenger of Death turned back to Wang Longhe and Mrs. Wang Luo and said, "I’ll give you one more chance. Are you going with , or with her?"
Wang Longhe and Mrs. Wang Luo shared a soft glance, filled with tenderness, and said quietly, "We will listen to you."
A rare smile spread across the sorrowful face of Mrs Wang Luo. She nodded to the ssenger of Death and said, "I promised this young lady that I would give her my soul power in return for helping
fulfill a wish. Now that my wish is fulfilled, I should keep my promise."
Seizing the mont, Qin Sisi added eagerly, "Please, Lord Ghost, grant us this."
The ssenger of Death seed sowhat helpless. As a Ghost Immortal, he was not permitted to conflict with humans according to the rules of the Underworld, yet, if he failed his task, he might face so punishnt.
The ssenger of Death turned to Qin Sisi and stood silent for a while, he then made a small gesture.
Ye You looked puzzled by the gesture, while Qin Sisi was overjoyed upon seeing it. She quickly said, "Okay, I got it. But since I don’t have it on hand right now, do you mind if we do it tomorrow night?"
In the sa cold, monotonous tone, the ssenger of Death replied, "Burn it in the northeast corner of your room at the 3rd quarter of the dawn tomorrow, and I’ll get it."
Qin Sisi quickly nodded, "Alright, I’ll rember. Please rest assured, Lord Ghost, it will be delivered on ti."
Gaining Qin Sisi’s promise, the ssenger of Death had no reason to stay. He slowly floated out, disappearing as he passed through the window, silent and traceless, just as when he arrived.
Ye You, still puzzled by the conversation between Qin Sisi and the ssenger of Death, seeing that the ti limit of the invisibility bubble was nearing its end, postponed his queries and urged Qin Sisi to interact with Mrs. Wang Luo.
Qin Sisi stepped forward and asked Mrs. Wang Luo, "You’ve seen both your son and husband now. Do you have any other wishes?"
Willing to do more for such a spirit like Mrs. Wang Luo, Qinsi Sisi offered to help.
Mrs. Wang Luo slightly shook her head and replied, "Thank you, young lady, I don’t have any other wishes. I can go now."
Qin Sisi nodded before glancing at Wang Longhe. Rembering his bond with Mrs. Wang Luo, she asked Ye You for a Spirit Gathering Pill for him to consu, allowing him to reassemble his soul a hundred years later, just like Mrs. Wang Luo.
As for whether they could resu their past relationship after reincarnation, that depended on their own fate. Those who are ant to be together will reunite.
Ye You lifted a claw and revealed the Spirit Conversion Bottle. The white bottle hovered in mid-air, seeming to wait for sothing.
Wang Longhe and Mrs. Wang Luo held hands, exchanged a profound look, and eventually transford into two plus of white smoke. After a whirl of winding and twisting, they slowly flowed into the Spirit Conversion Bottle, waiting for the heart-stirring summoning in the near future.
Ye You waved his claw to put away the Spirit Conversion Bottle and said in a deep voice, "Let’s go."
"Hmm."
Qin Sisi replied, skipping the stairs and jumping out of the window just like the ssenger of Death. She quickly summoned the Wings of Rainbow and quickly flew to the hotel where she was staying.
The effectiveness of the invisibility bubble didn’t last much longer; fortunately, the distance between the old age ho and the hotel was close. Similar to the journey there, it only took a few minutes for Qin Sisi to reach her room.
Despite so confusion, she was very pleased to have gotten through the night safely and with such a good haul.
But Ye You was pressing her to know what the small gesture ant.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You with a teasing smile and demonstrated the sa gesture in front of him, withholding the aning verbally.
Ye You, both irritated and amused, dabbed Qin Sisi’s delicate chin with his paw and teased, "Are you going to tell ? Or do you want
to resort to violence?"
With a slightly red face, Qin Sisi ignored the hint of flirtation in Ye You’s words and stated, "This gesture, in our world, ans - money."
Ye You was initially stumped, but he laughed heartily.
After laughing, he loudly stated, "There’s a saying in the Human World that money can make the ghosts grind the mill. It turns out to be true."
