Seeing that Zhao Youliang and the other man hesitated and refused to answer, Sister Yingchun sighed and recounted her experience during the day.

It turns out that ever since her husband passed away on their wedding day, Sister Yingchun has kept her promise and taken care of his parents for so many years.

Although it was strange that the two elders hadn't left the room for several years, Yingchun's sister-in-law didn't think much of it.

They assumed the two elderly people were becoming withdrawn because they missed their son too much.

However, when Sister-in-law Yingchun went to visit the two elderly people this morning, she found that they were not in the house.

Not only were the people gone, but the room was also covered in dust and cobwebs, like a haunted house that had been uninhabited for many years.

Seeing this, Sister Yingchun panicked and instinctively started cleaning.

While cleaning, she called out softly, lost and helpless, "Dad, Mom, where are you?"

"Come out quickly, don't scare me."

"You are my last remaining family, I cannot live without you..."

Unfortunately, even after Sister-in-law Yingchun cleaned the room repeatedly and wiped the glass until it was almost invisible, the two elders still did not appear.

Sister-in-law Yingchun slumped to the ground for a long, long time, only feeling slightly better as noon approached.

Still unwilling to give up, she began to organize the clothes in the elderly couple's wardrobe.

These clothes were also covered in dust and cobwebs.

When Yingchun's sister-in-law found a piece of paper in a bag in the wardrobe, she was completely dumbfounded.

And so, she sat there dejectedly until dark before finally managing to muster the energy to go to the barbecue restaurant.

After listening to Yingchun's story, Zhao Youliang realized that things were not going well.

"Sis, what's written on that piece of paper? Can I see it?!"

Hearing this, Sister Yingchun smiled bitterly and silently took out a piece of paper from her clothes and handed it over.

Zhao Youliang discovered that there weren't actually one, but four. To be precise, four death certificates!

The first three pictures are of Yingchun's husband and parents-in-law, and the last one is of Yingchun herself!

The large red official seal of the hospital affixed to it was particularly glaring!

Although he had long suspected that Yingchun's sister-in-law might be dead, Zhao Youliang still couldn't accept it when the truth was right in front of him.

He swiftly tore the death certificate to shreds and spoke through tears.

"Sis, this must be someone's prank. Don't take it seriously."

"From now on, let's continue living our lives as before!"

Understanding Zhao Youliang's feelings, Liao Zhiyuan quickly chimed in, "Exactly! Who was that scoundrel who made this joke? It's so damn annoying!"

"Don't overthink it, sis. Just keep things as usual!"

Seeing Zhao Youliang's anxious face, Sister Yingchun gave a wry smile.

"Quantum, so I really did die a long time ago. So you knew all along."

“Alas, why…” Yingchun’s sister-in-law suddenly couldn’t continue.

With tears in her eyes, she grasped Zhao Youliang's hand, and little by little, her eyes became transparent, as if she might disappear at any moment.

As mentioned before, once Sister Yingchun's obsession disappears, that's when she disappears entirely.

Seeing this, Zhao Youliang became even more frightened and hurriedly hugged Yingchun tightly in his arms.

"Sister, you can't do this, you can't leave me!"

"Oh right, right, you still have someone to care about in this world, and you still have me!"

"You promised me: we'd run a barbecue business together, and you'd help me earn money to pay for my dad's medical treatment and support my sister's schooling!"

"You can't go back on your word! You can't leave me alone!!"

After hearing Zhao Youliang's words, Yingchun's disappearance indeed slowed down.

A renewed hope for life rekindled on her face: "Yes, I still have you! Quantum, I promised you so many things..."

Seeing this, Zhao Youliang quickly nodded repeatedly with tears in his eyes, "Yes, sister, you promised me we'd work hard together!"

"You can't leave first, you have to stay with me!"

"You don't understand, I don't have a lifespan either, but I'm living a perfectly good life!!"

"You must believe you can survive, you definitely can!!!"

At this moment, Yingchun's eyes regained that unique gleam they had shown before.

"Yes, it definitely can!"

"Quantum, we can definitely survive together!!"

Seeing that the situation was getting better and better, the quick-witted Liao Zhiyuan hurriedly wiped away his tears while rapidly reciting the mantra.

"The Eight Trigrams turn, Yin and Yang manifest; one cannot ascend to immortality without entering the cycle of reincarnation."

"Because of ties to the mortal world, I will owe the underworld another hundred years, it is settled!"

Once the Soul-Stabilizing Incantation was cast, Yingchun's remnant soul was completely stabilized and temporarily out of danger of disappearing.

However, the moment she heard the Soul-Stabilizing Incantation, Sister Yingchun felt it was very familiar and subconsciously asked a question.

“Xiao Liao, you used the Soul-Stabilizing Spell to help my sister repay the ‘hundred years’ debt, but that will have to be deducted from your own account.”

"Sister, I'm so sorry!"

Liao Zhiyuan was taken aback: "Sister, you actually know about the Soul-Stabilizing Spell? It seems your past life was quite extraordinary!"

"It's alright, it's just a hundred years, I can afford it!"

"My master calculated that I will live for a full 120 years!"

"As long as you and Quantum Bro are happy, that's all that matters, hahaha!"

"Besides, the lost lifespan can be gradually restored through accumulating good deeds, so there's nothing to fear."

Hearing this, Zhao Youliang was secretly moved, and then asked timidly, "Xiao Liao, how old are you this year?"

Liao Zhiyuan answered crisply: "I'm nineteen. My twentieth birthday is in seven days. So what... Holy crap!"

"Was I a bit reckless just now? Did I say that owing the underworld eighty years would be enough?!"

"Yes!" Zhao Youliang nodded deeply, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

"Damn it!" Realizing he only had seven days left to live, Liao Zhiyuan slumped onto a stool, his face contorted with despair.

"Well, Quantum Bro, this is really bad. We've both squandered our lifespans..."

Zhao Youliang felt even more guilty upon hearing this, after all, Liao Zhiyuan had done this to help him.

Therefore, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Liao, is there any way to increase your lifespan in a short period of time?"

"You said, as long as it's within my power, I'll do it even if it costs me my life!"

Liao Zhiyuan was about to shake his head, but then he immediately thought of a solution that was hardly a solution.

"Young General, we're looking for the Young General!"

"He's stupid... no, he's easy to fool... no, he's just a kind and easy-going old man!"

"As long as we ask him to put in a good word with the underworld, it'll be a piece of cake for us brothers to extend our lifespans!"

Knowing the young general's extraordinary abilities, Zhao Youliang, upon hearing this, shamelessly took out his phone and dialed the number the young general had left without hesitation.

The person who answered the phone was not Chen Daji, but an elderly man who looked very much like him, but was much more composed.

Although the old man spoke very politely, what he said was quite surprising.

If someone with a weak heart heard this, they would probably jump up in fright.

"Hello, who is this? This is Chen Fu."

"I've been dead for over two years, why are you still calling my grave?"
