Chapter 451
It took a quarter of an hour to walk from one end to the other, but only a moment to go back.
When Lingwu returned to the chains, she didn't have to wait long before Yan Wang, dressed in a blue-faced, fanged outfit, hurried over.
Even from a distance, Lingwu heard Yan Wang call out, "Awu."
Ling Wu smiled but did not greet her. "I'll have to trouble you in the near future."
“Awu has always acted prudently, and this matter benefits both the underworld and the souls,” Yan Wang said casually. “I should reward you, so why would I trouble you?”
Therefore, Lingwu stopped making excuses and said frankly, "There are so many unwilling souls, why not select the best among them and choose some of the most capable ones to stay in the underworld and serve it?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking." As soon as Yan Wang finished speaking, his gaze swept over the dragons and phoenixes among them.
My teeth felt slightly sore as I passed by.
Why is it that everything in this Book of Fate has some connection to A-Wu?
Once he makes a promise to Awu, Yan Wang will never go back on his word.
So he stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed, and said, "Then I must borrow a few days' worth of plain shoes from A-Wu to serve the underworld."
Lingwu did not make the decision for Sulu, but instead lowered her head and asked, "Is Sulu willing?"
"I am willing!"
This conversation between the two gods brought about earth-shattering changes to the entire underworld.
The Reincarnation Bureau has established a new task force.
The mission team consisted of exceptional individuals, whose aura, even from afar, could illuminate a vast number of lost souls.
One day, the task participants, who had gone through layers of selection, were finally designated as the underworld's messengers.
"Since you are all indifferent people, then the first official mission will be mine." Song Leyuan put the red folding fan on the table into her palm, turned around and was about to leave her seat.
The man in the main seat, dressed in plain clothes, had a childlike face, but his aura was extremely powerful.
Seeing Song Leyuan's impatience, Su Lu slowly spoke:
"Wait a moment. Lady Meng Po will be coming today."
Song Leyuan fiddled with her folding fan, showing no fear whatsoever upon hearing the question. She simply looked up at Su Lu and asked, "How long will it take?"
“Half a quarter of an hour,” Su Li replied.
Song Leyuan then gave a soft "hmm," leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes to rest, and didn't speak again.
Everyone knows she's anxious.
Not only her, but everyone here is gathered here because of that regret in their hearts.
The underworld promised them that they could exchange one wish, and the condition for exchanging the wish was to allow the souls who did not want to be reincarnated to voluntarily enter the cycle of reincarnation.
The more difficult it is to fulfill a wish, the greater the number of souls that are sent into reincarnation.
Everyone has a different wish.
But other people's wishes are irrelevant to her; she only knows her own wish, and from beginning to end, there has only been that one person.
As Song Leyuan closed her eyes to rest, the adorable boy, who had turned his head to one side, blinked and asked Su Lu, "What brings Lady Meng Po here today?"
Su Lu glanced at Yun Ji and gently shook her head.
How could she possibly know what her sister was thinking?
"Hmm, alright." Yun Ji lowered his eyes, a hint of nervousness in them.
He glanced around.
The atmosphere here has always been cold and indifferent. Everyone here was once a chosen one, someone who could turn the world upside down with a flick of their wrist. None of them came from backgrounds like him, who was tainted by the rouge and powder of a brothel.
But his wife had said that he wasn't dirty.
Yun Ji smiled. He was staying in the underworld now, and all he needed was time to meet his wife again.
Even from a distance, he could recognize his wife at a glance.
Before half an hour had passed, Ling Wu appeared before everyone's eyes.
Lingwu had already seen the list of this department when Suli mentioned it.
It could be said that during their internships, Lingwu already knew who could truly become a member of the Samsara Bureau.
It was still those familiar figures; after all the twists and turns, we met again.
But worldly affairs are already in the past for Lingwu, and the people in front of her are all just passersby.
The reason she appeared today is because they have all become public officials in the underworld, and they will eventually meet again, so Lingwu chose to show herself.
When the group of people's eyes fell on Ling Wu, they were all filled with deep affection.
Some of them brightened their eyes, some stood up abruptly, and others called out the nickname she used in the mortal world.
"Wu'er".
"Awu!"
"Xiao Wu..."
"His Majesty."
"The wife."
"lady."
"......"
Lingwu did not nod to each of them, but ignored their titles and walked straight to Suli.
She rose from her plain shoes and stepped aside from the main seat, saying, "Lady Meng Po."
Only when Su Lu respectfully bowed her head and called out "Lady Meng Po" did the group belatedly realize what was going on.
After Lingwu took her seat, Su Li, facing a group of people with tears in their eyes and tenderness in their gaze, calmly gave the order:
"Take a seat."
The people before me are all chosen ones, yet they understand everything with just a gesture.
Hearing Su Lu say this, they each had their own thoughts on their minds, but still took their seats.
They all realized something, and in the undercurrent of their emotions, they glanced at the others before focusing all their attention on Ling Wu.
Ling Wu didn't waste any more time and said directly:
"You all remain in the underworld because of regrets, but now that I have appeared here, your regrets have been dispelled."
"You may choose to enter the cycle of reincarnation or remain here."
“If you choose the former, you will receive profound blessings for three lifetimes.”
"If you choose the latter, you may stop here and escape the suffering of reincarnation, or you may be promoted and enter the ranks of the Yin Immortals."
After Ling Wu finished speaking, she gave them time to make their own choice.
But without exception, they all chose the latter.
As I was leaving, a female voice came from behind: "Lady Meng Po, the flower cakes I made taste quite good. If I can reach the top of the Reincarnation Bureau's list, may I ask you to taste them?"
Lingwu turned her head.
She nodded gently to Song Leyuan, whose eyes were red, "Of course."
After answering Song Leyuan, Ling Wu looked at the others one by one and finally said, "Not only her, but all of you as well."
After saying that, Lingwu lifted her skirt and left the Samsara Bureau.
She could tell whose gaze was being given to her from among the many eyes behind her.
But still, no one could make her stay.
——
The Reincarnation Bureau was established three years ago.
When Lingwu went to that road again, she saw that half of the souls were gone.
As she was leaving, Lingwu ran into Bai Chang, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Lady Meng Po, it's been a long time."
"Indeed, it has been a long time." Ling Wu nodded. "It seems that Lord Bai Wuchang is facing a life-threatening situation during this trip to the small world."
“Indeed.” Bai Chang smiled faintly and followed Ling Wu to Yiyou Tower.
He recounted in the middle of the road the things that Yan had presumptuously ordered him to do.
That small world was riddled with holes, and the dead were unwilling to leave, effectively turning that small world into another underworld. There was even a soul in it who called himself Yama, the King of Hell.
"How arrogant," Ling Wu couldn't help but sigh softly.
Bai Chang spoke in a normal tone, but when he spoke to Ling Wu, he always inevitably used a gentle tone, to the point that when he talked about punishment, it sounded like he was reminiscing about the past.
"That soul has entered the eighteenth level of hell, and after suffering all kinds of punishments, it will be reborn as an animal."
Lingwu listened all the way until she took out the wine in front of the Yiyou Tower.
The wine that was supposed to be two cups ended up being three more.
The three extra lamps are Yan Wang, Hei Wuchang Mo Yu, and Su Lü.
Before she could savor the moment, Lingwu noticed the appearance of the document and had no choice but to send the guests away.
The gates of the Yiyou Tower open.
The one who appeared here was Xichen, dressed in a vermilion Buddhist robe.
Lingwu handed him a cup of tea, and Xichen finally accepted it despite the close distance between them.
Lingwu originally planned to follow him into the small world to help him overcome his emotional tribulations.
To everyone's surprise, the first thing Xi Chen said after settling down was:
"Love tribulations are not stumbling blocks on the path to Buddhahood or godhood."
That's true, but the Buddhist disciple of the Pure Land has fallen in love with the Eastern Yin God, and who knows what kind of trouble that will cause.
Since the other party was able to let it go, Lingwu simply stopped bringing it up.
No matter what, those gods and Buddhas can't cause trouble for her.
If things really escalate to this point, the underworld isn't a place they can come and go as they please.
From this day forward, Xi Chen will always come here.
He was often ostracized by Yan Wang and his group, but he was not annoyed. He would just turn his prayer beads and look at Ling Wu with affectionate eyes.
Missionaries from the Reincarnation Bureau often appear at the Tower of Forgotten Worries.
In the entire underworld, almost every lost soul knows that Lady Meng Po is bound by an indelible thread of fate.
——
Another day, the Yiyou Tower opened.
The pure soul, stained with filth, bowed and knelt in worship.
Only when the soul received a gentle "please" did it raise its head.
The woman sitting at the table was wearing a white dress.
Her white hair cascaded down, her skin was as white as snow, and beneath her long eyelashes were a pair of gentle eyes.
Her gentle smile already possessed a beauty that transcended ordinary people.
Lingwu's jade-like hand gently touched the teacup.
What is your wish?
The spirit blushed and, under that gentle gaze, recounted everything in detail.
Finally, Lingwu gave her a gentle smile.
"allow."
————The End————
"The characters who are infused with love have a life of their own, so A-Wu will not be confined to the stories she writes. She will keep moving forward, no matter how the earth shakes behind her, no one can stop her from moving forward."
In the next book, the female protagonist's name should also contain a character with the "woman" radical. I've always felt that characters with the "woman" radical are beautiful.
Fu Yue is one, and so is Ling Wu.
I wish all wives good health and that all their wishes come true.
I am so glad that I met you all.
As always: Until we meet again! (If we meet again in the next book, please let me know!)
