Chapter 127 Obtaining the Imperial Edict of Divorce
Su Mengxue's body gradually sank into the water and never resurfaced.
With a gentle wave of her little hand, Qingbao scooped up a wisp of resentment from the water and placed it next to the female ghost; there were only two wisps.
"Is this the curse that caused the Li family to die out?" Minister Li asked, mustering his courage.
Qingbao frowned. "Oh no."
Someone got there first and took away the two infant spirits of the Li family.
"Then what should we do..." Minister Li paced anxiously.
"Now that there are no ghosts or resentment in your pond, the curse has naturally been taken away as well," the female ghost said softly, becoming a ball in Qingbao's hand.
Minister Li breathed a sigh of relief.
But Qingbao couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.
From beginning to end, Aunt Sun did not utter a single word.
Her soul was no longer enough to appease the resentment.
It was drained dry by the spirit of the infant.

at the same time.
Tianxianzong.
"Sect Leader."
The man descended on clouds, and countless disciples bowed to him.
Ignoring them, Zhu Yi went straight to the forbidden area in the back mountain, carrying two thick clouds of resentment.
"How is it?" he asked the woman in front of him, who was also dressed in white.
The woman had a ribbon tied around her eyes, and her red lips parted slightly. "Brother Yi, Si Yao harbors a lot of resentment, no less than that person from back then."
Zhu Yi slowly placed the two wisps of infant spirits in his hand into the blood pool.
Black mist churned within the pool of blood.
The two of them smiled.
Given time, Si Yao might be able to rival that vengeful ghost.
"Pfft—" Zhu Yi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xuan Yue stepped forward to help him up, her face filled with concern. "How did you get hurt?"
"When my soul descended to the underworld, a wisp of it was taken away by the judge." Zhu Yi sat down and slowly closed his eyes.
His cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was now teetering on the brink of collapse.
Xuan Yue gritted her teeth, "It must be Fu Tu who helped the underworld deal with you, otherwise how could a three-year-old child have such great power?"
Zhu Yi: "He can't go to the underworld either."
There are rules in the Three Realms that only the dead are allowed to enter the Underworld.
Therefore, he encountered Fu Tu at the very entrance to the gates of hell.
"We suffered too much loss just to silence that old woman," Xuan Yue said with dissatisfaction.
“That old woman Su has been very kind to us, but you rely on the girl’s eyes to see. A pair of eyes can only last for a day. Now that you have no eyes, you need to find another person who is willing to make offerings to you as soon as possible.”
Zhu Yi sighed, "If only the royal family were willing to make offerings."
Xuan Yue's face showed anger: "Why not? We are immortals, protecting them for thousands of years!"
“That makes a lot of sense, and we can also take care of something else along the way…” Zhu Yi said slowly.
Xuan Yue understood, and a smile spread across her face. "Si He, don't even think about a divorce!"

Qingbao returned to General Su's mansion with her wedding dress.
Si He's hands trembled as she stroked the stitches, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.
After a long while, Qingbao spoke in a clear voice:
“Mother, perhaps Grandfather and Grandmother know something. Maybe they can find a clue in this wedding dress…”
The tiny figure stood in the candlelight; Sihe's newborn baby was warm and adorable.
“A mystery…” Si He murmured.
I suddenly remembered my mother teaching me embroidery when I was a child.
“He’er, look, by starting the stitches like this, one stitch at a time, you can get different patterns on the back or inside.”
The loving mother stroked Xiao Sihe's head with affection in her eyes.
The candlelight was the same, but the house was dilapidated, and the people inside were her and her daughter.
Si He swallowed her tears and picked up the scissors.
Carefully cut open the exquisite embroidery.
Qingbao felt sorry for her, "Mother..." She reached out to stop her.
Such a wonderful thing, and the most precious gift left to her by her maternal grandmother, how could she watch her mother destroy it?
Her heart must be bleeding.
"It's nothing." Si He smiled. "Nothing is more important than finding the truth."
Only by finding the truth can we find our parents.
Having parents is more important than anything else.
The embroidery threads were pulled apart, and the pattern disappeared.
Beneath a vast expanse of exquisitely embroidered peonies, two skeletons lie buried...
The stark white bones against the red wedding dress looked even more eerie.
Clang!
The scissors fell to the ground and pierced Si He's toe, drawing blood.
But her feet didn't hurt at all.
Instead, it was my heart that was throbbing violently.
*
Black smoke billowed into the house.
Only Qingbao remained sitting on the tatami mat, her legs crossed, her little face serious and helpless.
"Fu Tu, what does this mean? Why are there two skeletons?"
Don't white bones represent that a person is dead?
How could those two mortals know when they would die before they even started embroidering their wedding dresses?
So, did he leave clues to remind his mother?
Fu Tu transformed into a cold and aloof man and floated in front of the little guy's bed.
"Have you ever considered that perhaps... they knew something before they even started embroidering the wedding dress..."
Qingbao felt a chill run down her spine. "Aren't they ordinary people?"
How could ordinary people know that immortals were going to harm them, and even prepare their wedding dresses years in advance?
“Perhaps, my body is that of an ordinary person,” Fu Tu said.
He couldn't say any more.
Qingbao frowned, "Can't you learn to walk?"
“No.” Fu Tu fiddled with the compass in his hand, his voice cold and clear. “Floating is more in line with my temperament.”
Qingbao looked at him helplessly.
Even when this guy sprouted two legs last time, he didn't take a single step.
It seems they really aren't going to leave.
I can't be bothered with him.
Qingbao continued to ponder, "Do you think there are beings whose bodies are ordinary people, but whose souls are gods, ghosts, or immortals?"
Ordinary people are born with their own souls.
If someone is forcibly possessed, the original soul must either be sealed or expelled.
The expelled souls will come to the underworld to beg the judge for justice.
Qingbao served as a judge for ten years and had never encountered a soul whose body had been possessed.
Cultivators cherish their bodies even more, because with their cultivation and dantian, they won't easily take what belongs to others.
Therefore, the idea of possession is somewhat untrue.
"As far as I know, besides this, there's another possibility." Fu Tu placed his hands behind his back, gesturing back and forth.
"When immortals undergo tribulations, they will become mortals."
"But, when immortals undergo tribulations, will they remember their identities? Will they be able to use their immortal techniques?" Qingbao tilted her head.
“No,” Fu Tu said.
"That's unlikely. If it weren't possible, how would my grandmother and the others have known what would happen to them in the future..."
Qingbao was at a loss for what to do.
Fu Tu calculated with his fingers, his tone soft, "Little one, go to the palace, perhaps another opportunity will arise."
Qingbao nodded, jumped off the bed, hugged a small pillow, and took her short legs to Sihe's room.
"Mother, let's go to the palace."
Fu Tu floated over, his eyes wide, "Are you kidding me? It's past midnight!"
Si He covered her red eyes. "Qingbao, didn't we agree to meet tomorrow with His Majesty?"
Qingbao chuckled.
"It was agreed that it was for those two people to hear."
They entered the palace ahead of time and seized the imperial edict before Zhu Yixuan and Yue could react.
That's what you call taking someone by surprise!
Fu Tu secretly gave Qing Bao a thumbs up.
"Wow, Sister Qing is amazing!"
A three-year-old's new brain is so useful.
Qingbao: "There's no time to lose, Mother. Take the Fuhua Token and we'll go to the palace now to get the imperial decree."
