Sheng Wanwan stopped and turned to look at Mu Rou'er, who was being tortured. She smiled slightly and asked, "Aunt Mu, are you calling me?"
"It really is...you? Who...who are you? How could you get here? Could it be...you're dead!"
Mu Rou'er's face was contorted with pain, but she still forced herself to finish her sentence.
"No! Aunt Mu, I'm here to take my elder brother back! Aunt Mu, the King of Hell found out that you tampered with my elder brother many years ago! Unauthorized alteration of the Book of Life and Death is a heinous crime that will condemn you to eternal damnation! Although you didn't do it, you were indirectly involved in altering the Book of Life and Death."
So I'm afraid you'll have to stay in this hell for another hundred or two hundred years!
After finishing her sentence, Sheng Wanwan waved her delicate white hand at Mu Rou'er, then turned and left.
She's off to see her older brother, she doesn't have time to waste talking to this kid...
Upon hearing Sheng Wanwan's words, Mu Rou'er felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and collapsed against the bronze pillar.
"No! No! I didn't know... that it would cause your brother's death... and require altering something... what Book of Life and Death! It was all that stinking Taoist priest's doing... why should it be blamed on me! Why... why?"
Mu Rou'er's shrill screams echoed throughout the Copper Pillar Hell, yet no ghost answered her.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. The sins committed in this life must be repaid after death in order to begin the next cycle of reincarnation.
All of this was Mu Rou'er's own fault.
After leaving the Copper Pillar Hell, Sheng Wanwan went to the Old King Yama to ask for her elder brother's soul.
Sheng Wenjin was a kind person in both his past and present lives, so his soul was exceptionally pure and he did not suffer in hell.
Instead, they wait to be reborn in the ghost realm.
When Sheng Wanwan returned to the Yama Palace, Yama had already thoughtfully summoned Sheng Wenjin's soul from the Ghost Realm.
Sheng Wanwan was shocked to see Sheng Wenjin standing in the Yama Palace, dressed in tattered clothes.
"Brother! How come you're doing so badly in the Ghost Realm?"
Sheng Wenjin looked at the little one in front of him, completely bewildered.
"Big brother? You call me big brother? Who are you?"
When Sheng Wenjin was brought to the underworld, Sheng Wanwan had not yet been born, so Sheng Wenjin was unaware of Sheng Wanwan's existence.
“I’m your sister! Your own sister! My name is Sheng Wanwan, big brother. I wasn’t even born when you were unconscious, so you don’t recognize me!” Sheng Wanwan said as she walked to Sheng Wenjin’s side and looked up at him.
"Sister?" Sheng Wenjin carefully examined Sheng Wanwan and found that she looked very much like his mother, which made him believe her.
"But you're so young, how come you're here? Could it be that you're dead too?" Sheng Wenjin looked at the little dumpling in front of him with a pained expression. His little sister died at such a young age, it was so pitiful!
He's even more pitiful than her...
"I'm not dead! I'm coming down to take my brother home!" Sheng Wanwan frowned as she looked at her new older brother. This older brother was a bit silly!
"Go home? How do I go home? Aren't I dead?" Sheng Wenjin was completely confused.
"You're not dead! Silly brother, your body is still perfectly fine! But if you don't hurry back, your body will slowly rot and then you'll die!"
Sheng Wenjin was still completely bewildered when Sheng Wanwan finished speaking.
He didn't die? When he first died, he also felt that he hadn't died, but the ghosts in the ghost realm told him that all the ghosts brought back by the ghost messengers had died of old age and were completely dead.
He had finally come to terms with the fact that he was dead, but now a baby girl claiming to be his sister suddenly appeared before him, telling him that he was not dead! And that she would take him home.
A toddler who's not even as tall as his calf says he'll take him home from under the nose of the King of Hell. This just doesn't make any sense!
Sheng Wenjin bowed respectfully to King Yama and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this..."
"Oh dear! Silly girl, you're not happy that your little ancestor said he'd take you back to the world of the living? What's wrong? Don't you believe your little ancestor, or do you not want to leave?"
The King of Hell rolled his eyes.
The fact that the young master personally came to his rescue was a blessing he had accumulated over eight lifetimes. How could he not leave quickly and instead question the young master's abilities?
"Little? Little Ancestor?" Sheng Wenjin couldn't help but repeat it when he heard the King of Hell call the little baby in front of him that.
Was he hallucinating? The King of Hell was calling the little baby in front of him "Little Ancestor"!
"Alright, big brother, come with me! I won't hurt you. Besides, look at your pathetic, destitute appearance, what could I possibly want to harm you for!" Sheng Wanwan said, taking Sheng Wenjin's hand and pulling him outside.
Although Sheng Wenjin was still in shock from what he was seeing, he instinctively followed Sheng Wanwan.
Because Sheng Wanwan was right, with his poor appearance, the little kid had nothing left to fool him about.
"Brother, how did you end up in such a wretched state? In your previous life, you were a cultivator who was just one step away from becoming an immortal. How come you can't even protect yourself in this life, and you've even ended up in such a miserable state as a ghost?"
Sheng Wanwan frowned.
"Alas! Although I am dead, there is no record of me in the underworld. I am essentially an unregistered person in this ghost realm. They don't know where to place me, and I have no relatives to rely on, so I can only wander the streets."
"I thought that since my mother loved me so much, she would burn more paper money for me after I died, but I haven't received anything even though I've been in the underworld for so long."
Alas! I now realize that no matter how learned I was in the mortal world, I'm just a useless scholar here..."
Sheng Wenjin sighed, feeling very sad when he mentioned his experiences.
After hearing this, Sheng Wanwan couldn't help but laugh, "Hahaha... Big brother, once you get out, don't just focus on studying."
For example, practice martial arts more, cultivate immortality, or fall in love...
"Practice martial arts?"
"Hmm! I used to disdain my mother forcing me to practice martial arts, but I only realized after I got to the underworld that ghosts who know some martial arts are stronger than ordinary ghosts, at least they won't be bullied."
As for cultivating immortality, forget it, it's too far removed from my life!
"And little sister, you said about dating? What's dating?" Sheng Wenjin felt that his little sister spoke like a little adult, but her words were too profound for him to understand...
"Uh... it's about flirting with women! Brother, let me tell you, there's a stunningly beautiful woman waiting for you outside! She's your lover from a past life, the kind who died because of you. You can't let her down!"
As Sheng Wanwan pulled Sheng Wenjin outside, she said this.
"ah?!!"
