Chapter 449

Yan Wang, who escorted Ling Wu all the way back to the underworld, no longer had the eloquent and formidable demeanor he displayed in front of Xi Chen.

He followed silently behind Ling Wu.

Only when he reached the underworld did he ask in a slightly somber tone, "Awu, where exactly have you hidden your divine heart?"

Lingwu had been waiting for Yan Wang to answer this question for many years.

She did not answer immediately, but instead went into the Yiyou Building.

He took out a new jar of peach blossom wine, poured two cups, and handed one to Yan Wang.

Yan Wang accepted it and drank it all in one gulp.

He tried to pour it again, but Lingwu gently shook her head to stop him.

His inability to hold his liquor due to his wild words is a fact known throughout the underworld.

He knew it perfectly well, but for some reason, he felt a sense of injustice he had never felt before.

Perhaps it was because Awu always kept him in a veil of mystery.

He mustered his courage more than once to try to lift the veil, but the light, fluttering gauze, because of its owner, was never opened even once.

Perhaps it was because of the countless years they spent together, but Awu always treated him as a teacher, friend, and playmate, and never had any romantic feelings for him.

Or perhaps he saw his own reflection in Xi Chen.

Lingwu then replied:

"I didn't hide."

She didn't drink the peach blossom wine, but just sniffed it lightly, and then smiled at Yan Wang.

"I crushed God's heart with my own hands."

Her tone was light and airy, like a few peach blossoms that should float on a bowl of fragrant peach blossom wine, but the clear surface of the wine was completely empty.

Yan Wang's face flushed red from the cup of wine he had just drunk.

His eyes were slightly hazy, and he soon leaned over the table, revealing a pair of light golden eyes looking at Ling Wu.

His sleeve covered his lips, and his voice was extremely soft, as if he were talking to himself: "I knew it."

He stared at Ling Wu and said again:

"Awu, I knew it."

Lingwu didn't reply, but picked up her wine cup and took a small sip.

The delicate fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth.

Yan Wang didn't know how much time had passed, but as his consciousness gradually cleared, he looked at the empty main seat of the Yiyou Tower, with only a trace of cold fragrance remaining.

Then I knew that A-Wu had gone to the small world again.

I waited for half a day.

When Ling Wu returned from the small world once again, he finally understood everything.

Awu belongs to heaven and earth; nothing in heaven and earth, gods and Buddhas, can confine her with love.

However, Yan Wang still felt that his eyes were a little itchy.

He recalled the moments he had shared growing up with Ling Wu.

Finally, he closed his eyes and pressed them against his sleeve, letting the moisture be absorbed by the sleeve.

When he looked up again, he reverted to his usual cold-faced Yama, the ruler of the six realms of reincarnation.

“Awu should be free in this world, and no god or Buddha can hinder her.” He reminded himself once again.

Outside the Yiyou Tower, seeing Yan Wangxiangtong, Lingwu also revealed a smile on her lips.

The Soul Bead flew towards her and then merged into her palm.

She separated a strand and offered it to the wick of the lantern on the other shore.

The vibrant petals gradually unfurled, then a halo of light appeared.

The halo slowly spread, eventually illuminating the Yellow Springs Road leading to the Tower of Forgotten Worries, with the vibrant flowers on both sides of the road swaying slightly.

The white bones that were clawing upwards in the Yellow Springs were also stunned for a moment, and finally obediently retreated back into the River of Oblivion.

Lingwu stood under the lantern.

Until the lanterns hanging in the Yiyou Tower disappeared, and in their place appeared a cute little girl in a red dress with pigtails in front of Lingwu.

Beneath the upturned corners of the little girl's eyes was a bright red mole.

At a glance, Lingwu knew that the little girl with the lantern in front of her had eyes that could distinguish between good and evil in the world.

This is an immense stroke of luck.

The little girl opened her misty eyes and, in a childlike voice, imitated the way many wronged souls acted before Ling Wu, lifting her bright red skirt and kneeling on the ground, kowtowing three times.

“She should be given a name so that it can be recorded,” Yan Wang said to Ling Wu as he stepped out of the Yiyou Tower.

Lingwu nodded.

Looking at the small lantern that hadn't been named and hadn't yet raised its head, I hesitated for a long time before saying:

"Walking alone in simple shoes, I fulfill my wish."

“You transcend the six realms, and through our interactions, you have gained a great deal of knowledge. Moreover, your eyes can discern evil spirits in the world.”

"Then I wish you to go forth in simple shoes, to walk your own path. Hold fast to your true self in this mortal world, and even if there is a deep abyss of poison ahead, in the end, just like your true self, the light that illuminates the path of the resentful souls, grand and bright."

"From this day forward, your name will be Suli."

"Get up, in your plain shoes," Ling Wu said as her last words fell.

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Lady Meng Po." Su Lu bowed to Ling Wu again.

Then he bowed to Yan Wang and said, "Thank you for your visit, Lord Yama."

Yan Wang appeared unmoved, but in his heart he was pleased that Su Lu had put him and Ling Wu together.

Therefore, the treasures bestowed upon Su Li were tripled.

Hesitant to accept the shoes, he finally took them with both hands after Ling Wu nodded.

After perfectly fulfilling the last wish of the vengeful one when Su Lu first entered the mortal world for trials.

Lingwu rarely left Yiyoulou.

Every half day, the little girl would skip and hop around, handing a soul bead to Ling Wu.

Then, cupping her cute and delicate little face, she looked up at Ling Wu with adoration.

“Sister, this time the spirits were very pitiful, so Su Lu beat those bad guys quite badly.” Su Lu said, counting on her fingers, and then added, “The second thing is that on the road of the wandering souls who did not want to be reincarnated, I heard a spirit call out your name, sister.”

So Su Lu kept it in mind and went to inquire about it.

Lingwu placed the Soul Pearl into the Meng Po soup.

It will take a few more hours.

I simply listened to the little girl's story with a smile.

Many souls in the underworld are unwilling to be reincarnated, and the mixed aura within their souls makes it impossible for Lingwu and Sulu to appear.

This resulted in many souls ultimately dissipating into the world.

The underworld will not actively interfere in this matter.

Forcibly taking someone to be reincarnated will ultimately bring chaos to the world.

The roads on the left and right are long and wide enough that even if the souls do not dissipate, there will never be a day when they are all contained.

Su Lu counted on her fingers and said, "There was a sister who wore a red dress. She always said that she had to wait until that person ate her flower cake with his own hands."

“There was a very cute young man who said his name was Yun Ji and that he was waiting for his wife.”

"There was also a young lady who said that if she became a soul, she could drink iced cola, but she always shook her head and said that she couldn't disobey."

Su Lu counted on her fingers, talking incessantly.

Ling Wu stared at the little girl's innocent face with a faint smile.

After she spoke at length.

Lingwu equated all the people Su Lu mentioned with the passersby she had met in the small world.
