Rubbing her full stomach, Wu Yan looked at Lu Wu chatting with the other diners, a different kind of light in her eyes.

She understood!

She wants to be the leading lady of her own life, just like Boss Lu.

She couldn't rely on others; she had to rise up on her own.

Instead of trying to please others, please yourself.

Starting today, she will strive to improve herself and embark on a journey of turning her life around.

"Mr. Lu, thank you."

Grabbing Lu Wu's hand, Wu Yan thanked her. Amidst Lu Wu's bewilderment, Wu Yan strode away to return and cultivate.

ah?

Lu Wu, who has a cheat system, Old Li next door, and a bunch of tools: I used to be young and naive, but now I just want to say, it's really good to be a kept man.

"Time to pack up and close up shop!"

When Lu Wu uttered this cry, the diners were moved to tears.

"See you next time, Mr. Lu."

They realized that Boss Lu's stall location was very random, and they couldn't find out it before Boss Lu refreshed the information.

"I hope to meet you again, Mr. Lu."

The diners bid each other a reluctant farewell. Lu Wu packed up his stall, waved with a smile, and turned to enter Xiaohai Village.

At this time, a barrier was set up outside Xiaohai Village, preventing outsiders from entering and ghosts from leaving.

"Boss Lu, over here!"

Zhang Yue beckoned Lu Wu over.

In Xiaohai Village, there stands an ancient tree. Now, all the villagers have gathered here, greeting Lu Wu with kindness and gratitude.

"Boss Lu, thank you for the pancakes."

"The pancakes are so delicious. Next time Boss Lu makes something delicious, could you please let me know when you burn some paper money for him?"

"Boss Lu, I'm about to die, can you give me one more pancake?"

In response to their request, Lu Wu actually took out some pancakes, one for each person. This was Lu Wu's final gift to them.

The villagers were shocked.

Boss Lu has learned to keep things to himself; you're such a good person.

Villagers holding pancakes stood in rows, and Zhang Yue carved arrays at their feet.

The obscure runes flowed within the formation, emitting a faint light.

Lu Wu didn't understand but felt a sense of awe.

The villagers ate pancakes and said goodbye to their relatives and friends.

"Cheng Yang, you little brat, remember to bring your brain with you when you go down there, or you might offend the King of Hell and be reborn as an animal in your next life."

Uncle Hua slapped Cheng Yang on the head very lightly.

He gently stroked Cheng Yang's hair, his eyes red-rimmed.

"good."

Cheng Yang's voice was muffled.

He lowered his head, listening to the advice and admonitions of his elders.

He was an orphan who grew up relying on the kindness of many families.

He would have died long ago if it weren't for the care of the villagers of Xiaohai Village.

He had no father or mother, but he also had many fathers and mothers.

He is not an orphan.

"My lord, why are you crying? It's just reincarnation. You'll be a hero again in eighteen years."

"Waaaah, my wife, wait for me to come find you in eighteen years!"

"Get lost! I've had enough of you in this life. In the next life, I'm going to find a handsome husband."

"No, I won't allow it!"

When parting ways, many people choose to use jokes to ease the sadness.

Standing on the periphery, Lu Wu looked at the villagers who were crying with their heads in their hands, blinked, and quietly brushed her fingers across the corner of her eye.

"The time is almost up."

It was a long time before Zhang Yue finally spoke up to remind her.

"Big guy, let's hit the road!"

Uncle Xia shouted, and as the array began to shine brightly, he threw out the paper money in his hand.

On the altar not far away, incense burned spontaneously.

Wisps of smoke drifted toward the villagers, serving as a guide and leading them toward the world of the dead.

Zhang Yue clasped her hands together, lowered her eyes, and recited scriptures.

"At that time, the Savior from Suffering, the Heavenly Venerable, pervaded the ten directions. He constantly used his divine power to rescue all sentient beings from their delusions, but they were unaware of this, like blind people seeing the sun and moon..."

This is the Supreme Mysterious Treasure Sutra of Salvation from Suffering, specifically used to deliver the souls of the deceased and pray for their liberation.

As the scriptures swirled, blue smoke filled the sky above Xiaohai Village.

The villagers' bodies began to fade away.

In a daze, Lu Wu heard the soft rattling of chains.

Lu Wu imitated Zhang Yue's manner, silently reciting scriptures in his heart.

"Take care."

Sincere blessings drift on the wind.

When the last villager had also left, Uncle Xia's cane fell to the ground.

Lu Wu walked over and picked it up.

"I'm getting old, I'm no longer useful."

Uncle Xia sighed, his gray eyes filled with grief.

Perhaps because she had become a cultivator, Lu Wu had a vague sense of the vitality of ordinary people. She knew that Uncle Xia's life had come to an end.

"They've left, it's time for me to catch up."

Noticing Lu Wu's sadness, Uncle Xia spoke in a calm tone.

Death is not the end.

Uncle Xia ultimately declined the help and walked to his residence alone.

The lonely figure was stretched out, and the once bustling Xiaohai Village fell silent, eerily quiet.

"Don't worry, the city lord has made arrangements for Uncle Xia's funeral. They will be buried together."

Zhang Yue comforted Lu Wu.

Lu Wu nodded and walked out of the village with Zhang Yue.

After they stepped out, they looked back and saw that the once thriving village, with its wisps of smoke rising from the trees, had shattered like a bubble.

All that remains are ruins from ten years ago, a scene of utter decay.

This is the true face of Xiaohai Village.

Seeing that Lu Wu didn't speak, Zhang Yue thought she was discouraged.

"Boss Lu, don't be sad. They never did anything wrong in their lives. Such souls will have a good place in the underworld."

Not to mention that these spirits have all been purified by Little Pancake.
