"He captured the wrong soul. You can't go back this time either. Your body has been cremated. You'll have to stay somewhere else. But you will definitely receive compensation."

Anle stared blankly at the old man in the seat of honor who had coughed lightly, looking completely bewildered. After hearing the old man's words, she seemed to finally understand what he meant—

She glanced at the black man who had brought her there, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She let out a heart-wrenching wail.

"Brother Hei, I was sleeping soundly, and you just grabbed me alive? If you're going to grab me, fine, but why did you grab the wrong one?"

I'm only twenty-two! I'm at the prime of my life, like a flower bud about to bloom. I'm just a hair's breadth away from blossoming into a beautiful, vibrant bloom!

It was only halfway through the bloom when you picked it. Dude, put your hand on your heart and tell me, doesn't your conscience hurt?

My bright future, the luxury house and cars I just earned through the first half of my life, I haven't even had a chance to properly enjoy the second half of my life, and you dragged me into this hellish place, Brother Hei!

"Waaah... Brother Hei, you really picked the wrong time! I just bought this mansion this month, and I haven't even had a chance to fully enjoy it before my soul is already here. I haven't lived enough yet—" After venting her grievances to a certain extent, Anle sat down on the ground, her eyes red and swollen, and looked pitifully at the old man sitting above her, asking a weak question.

"So, how should we compensate you?" All the groundwork and acting skills were laid out for this one sentence: compensation.

The old man stroked his beard, glanced at the book in his hand, and looked troubled.

Brother Hei glanced at Anle, then gave her a sheepish and embarrassed smile, and made a suggestion.

"Laojun came to visit a couple of days ago and brought over a piece of land, didn't he? Why don't you take that land with you, young lady? It's not of much use to us here."

The old man stroked his beard, deep in thought. "You mean that seven-colored field?"

Brother Hei nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Laozi is fond of the human world and its things. He also sees that you, King of the Underworld, never go out and thinks that the things in the human world can keep you entertained. That's why he made this field for you, so that you can keep entertained without having to go out."

I see you're not very interested in that stuff, so I'll just give it to this little girl and let her get a good deal.

The old man in the seat of honor waved his hand readily in agreement.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Anle was dumbfounded as she watched the two of them unilaterally decide on the compensation without even asking for her opinion.

"Huh? That's it? What's the point of giving me land? I don't farm, I don't want land. I'm someone who never lifts a finger in the kitchen, why would I farm a chicken feather's worth of land?"

Anle, the eldest brother, was grumbling to himself when he was dragged away by the eldest brother, Hei. "Hey, hey, wait! Brother Hei, this isn't over yet! Don't go! Don't pull me! I haven't even discussed it yet! I haven't agreed yet!"

The black man picked up Anle and dragged her away while making conversation.

"What kind of consent do you need? This is such a good thing, you couldn't even ask for it!"

"Farming is fine, you go farm, I'll let Brother Hei do it, okay? I want some other kind of compensation, like living another thirty or twenty years, or even ten or eight years, I'll accept it—"

"You little brat, don't be ungrateful. What do you know? Do you know what kind of field that is? It was given to you by Laozi. It's not an ordinary field. It's a spacetime field created by mixing the five elements with rare thunder and wind elements. It can grow all things in the world. As long as it contains the five elements and rare elements, it can grow them. It's a seven-colored garden that can have anything you want."

"Huh? Eh? Really? Brother Hei, you're not kidding me, are you? Can you grow money? Can you grow banknotes?"

"Red banknotes? The place you're going to isn't a place where red banknotes are accepted. You can't spend red banknotes there; they don't recognize your great red grandfather."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"The place you're going to be reborn in isn't this world anymore. Didn't we say we'd find you a different place to stay?"

"Change...change the place to stay? Ah, I think so, that's what the old man said." Anle scratched his head blankly, somewhat unable to accept it—

"But I've gotten used to this world. I already have memories of it. How am I supposed to get used to living somewhere else? As a product of civilized society, a modern woman of the 21st century, I can't accept living under other feudal or barbaric systems. Can we make a deal? You have to find me a better place, Brother Hei!"

"Don't worry, with land at your disposal, you'll never have to worry about food or drink. Little girl, your life is perfect!"

Anle was furious. "He's ripping her off again."

From childhood to adulthood, apart from rolling around in the wheat stacks at her grandfather's house in the countryside, when had she ever farmed?

"You're just giving me this useless nonsense. I've already told you, I don't know how to farm anymore."

"It's alright, it's alright. The system will teach you step by step, and you'll learn it in no time. However, with your rebirth, this Garden of All Things will be back to square one. If you want to get anything from this garden, you'll have to start from scratch!"

"No rush, life is long, take your time, little girl. This is it, you can go now."

"Hey, hey, hey, where is this? Ah—" Before she could finish her question, Anle was pushed into the black hole vortex, and the surging darkness engulfed and swallowed her...
