Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Misunderstanding Resolved, Yellow Springs Road

“Han Xuancheng, in your eyes, am I really someone so easily swayed by others? You’re looking down on me, and even more so, on yourself! To waste a lifetime’s accumulated merit for someone so undeserving, how could you be so foolish?!” the client said through gritted teeth.

Her tone was all too familiar to the young ghost; she was truly angered. The young man lowered his head, stammering, and explained in a muffled voice, “I… I just didn’t want you to be deceived. Even if there was a slight possibility, I didn’t want it to happen.”

His voice echoed in the room, lingering for a long time. The client knew her boyfriend’s feelings; though she scolded him fiercely, her heart had long since melted into a mess. Both ghost and human fell silent.

After a long while, the client turned her gaze towards Yaoyao and pleaded, “Grandmaster, our misunderstanding has been resolved. Please help this fool; let him go reincarnate!”

Though she was reluctant, dragging her deceased boyfriend along was harming him. The client knew she wasn’t a selfish or narrow-minded person; some things “should be decisively cut off.”

The young man instinctively blurted, “I… I…” Before he could finish the latter half of “don’t want to leave,” he saw his girlfriend glare fiercely at him. He flinched, all subsequent words caught in his throat. He secretly peeked at the phone, seemingly wanting to beg the Grandmaster who had pulled him out of Little Bean’s body not to agree to his girlfriend’s request.

However, upon seeing that the Grandmaster was a small child, his entire ghostly form froze. A child? How was this possible? He had hidden in Little Bean’s body, even fooling the Underworld Emissaries; how could he not have fooled a little child? At this, the young ghost completely shut down.

Yaoyao, naturally unaware of his thoughts, slowly nodded at the client’s plea. “Pretty Sister, don’t worry. The merit your boyfriend accumulated during his life is much more than I initially thought. His soul body hasn’t diminished much, so he can still easily reincarnate.”

Given his status as a meritorious being, his reincarnation procedures would likely be completed in less than two days, and he could be reborn right after.

Yaoyao breathed a slow sigh of relief, seeing that the situation hadn’t spun out of control and caused major trouble. She even planned to personally escort him to the Netherworld after the livestream ended, fearing that this older brother might try to escape.

“Thank you, thank you, Grandmaster.” The client couldn’t hide her joy upon hearing this, thanking her repeatedly. However, after the immense joy, a hint of sorrow she couldn’t conceal surfaced, for she knew that her boyfriend was truly leaving this time. After reincarnation, he wouldn’t possess the memories of this life. Even if it was the same soul, he wouldn’t be him

anymore.

“Pretty Sister, I’m going to disconnect now. Please rate this livestream after it’s over!” Yaoyao, being perceptive, naturally sensed the client’s emotions, but she didn’t linger on the topic. For such were the karmic ties of heaven and earth: the client and her boyfriend were destined to have a bond without a fate in this life. Any comfort she offered would be useless.

Moreover, Yaoyao couldn’t figure out how to comfort her. Although their fate wasn’t completely severed her boyfriend would still fall in love with the client again after his reincarnation that was still decades away. If she were to tell the client now, giving her extra hope, she would spend the next few years constantly yearning.

Yaoyao was young, but she knew clearly that dwelling on a matter or a person was very painful. She didn’t want the client to suffer.

“Alright, today’s livestream is over. See you this afternoon for the offline livestream.” Yaoyao said softly, looking at the livestream screen that had switched to a single shot of her.

Her words instantly jolted the netizens from the client’s sorrowful love story, and they offered heartfelt farewells and pleas for her to stay. Those saccharine comments made anyone who didn’t know think they were a group of brainwashed fans under a curse. Of course, their pleas ultimately resulted, without surprise, in an unfeeling “Livestream ended” screen.

“Seventh Brother, stay put in the hotel. I’ll go send that Big Brother off and be right back.” Yaoyao jumped off the stool. Her shoulder bag was a bit crooked; she tugged it back into place and crisply explained. This, however, gave Gu Yu a bit of a headache. He even had the illusion that he was the child being taken out.

“Alright, go quickly!” He chuckled and patted his sister’s head. After a thought, he pulled a piece of candy from his pocket and tucked it into her small pocket.

“Mm-hmm!” Yaoyao touched the soft, milky candy, her beautiful large eyes curving into two crescent moons. Because there were people from the production team outside, her sudden disappearance would be hard to explain.

Yaoyao turned and walked into the bathroom, then left through the Ghost Gate. As for the production team suddenly showing up, Yaoyao believed Seventh Brother would handle it.

…

In the Netherworld, before a boundary monument.

Yaoyao stopped walking. She looked at the narrow path ahead, wide enough for only one person, surrounded by murky yellow river water that flowed with a “huala-huala” sound of surging waves.

At the same time, numerous ferocious-faced ghosts floated and sank in the river, struggling to reach the shore. But before they could get close to the bank, they were swept back by layers of churning waves, their struggles all for naught.

This was none other than the final checkpoint before reincarnation for the deceased—the Yellow Springs Road.

Yaoyao glanced at the young man beside her and said crisply, “Big Brother, you’ve already seen the Three Lives Stone just now, so you should believe my words now!”

“If there are no problems, walk this Yellow Springs Road, and then you can queue up for Meng Po’s Soup.”

The person beside Yaoyao was, of course, the client’s former boyfriend, the civil servant. Just a moment ago, when she went to apprehend his soul, he had been utterly frantic. In the end, she could only tell him that they would be reunited in their next life.

Who knew that this “Big Brother” wouldn’t believe it and insisted on seeing for himself? Seeing as this “Big Brother” had saved many people in his lifetime, Yaoyao patiently took him to see the Three Lives Stone, proving that they indeed had a fated connection in their next life. Only then did he calm down and agree to follow her.

And after passing through the Gates of Hell and crossing the Looking-Home Platform… As for the Yellow Springs Road ahead, Yaoyao, being a living person, was no longer suitable to accompany him.

“Thank you! I cannot repay such great kindness. Please accept my bow, Grandmaster.”

The young man took a small step back and knelt without hesitation. Before Yaoyao could react, he knocked his head against the ground several times with loud thuds. Yaoyao, seeing this, became flustered. She quickly helped him up and said in a sweet, childlike voice, “Big Brother, you don’t need to be so formal. Yaoyao helped you because you also helped many people during your life.”

“This is the reward for good people!”

Such a reply made the young man pause. He had never imagined that one day he would hear such words from a child’s mouth. For a moment, he was choked with emotion.

After a long while, he bowed again, but this time, he said nothing. Instead, he resolutely stepped onto the Yellow Springs Road. All his obsessions were gone; there were no more attachments on the path to rebirth.

The Yellow Springs Road was narrow and small, with splashing water on all sides, yet it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to splash onto the travelers walking upon it. Yaoyao stared blankly as his figure grew smaller and smaller in the distance, her small, round face also showing a hint of worry.

“I hope Big Brother will be healthy and happy in his next life!” she murmured. Then, she vanished from where she stood, leaving only that soft, sweet, childlike voice, lingering for a long time.
