The roulette wheel appeared for less than five minutes before disappearing into the sky. However, it swept away countless ghosts from all around, leaving not a single one behind. Even the souls that had not yet been drawn out from the soul beasts emerged one after another and merged into the roulette wheel.
Moreover, after the roulette wheel disappeared, the land below, which had been eroded by yin energy, seemed to have been purified, exuding an inexplicable sense of holiness. Large swathes of green shoots sprouted eagerly from the ground, as if spring had arrived in an instant.
Not only the soul beasts, but even Youyou himself was startled. It was just a teleportation skill, why did it produce this effect?
"Soul Beast, what exactly is this Wheel Seal you just mentioned?" she couldn't help but ask.
The soul beast then came to its senses, turned its head and looked at her with a complicated expression, before speaking stiffly after a while, "The Underworld... the Seal of Reincarnation. Those who enter the seal... will be reincarnated."
"..." Reincarnation! In other words, she didn't just send those souls to the underworld, but directly to their reincarnation?! And soon, a large number of people will be born in Xianze!
Is this some kind of efficiency?!
What happened to the promise of being a thousand miles away?
This is more than a thousand miles; it's way beyond the Three Realms!
Youyou was completely distraught. Thinking about the number of souls she had just sent away, she subconsciously swallowed.
"Um... little soul beast, I just have one question."
"What?"
"Does your underworld have a family planning policy?"
Soul Beast: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
——————
Youyou felt guilty, even though Fengrong said that those souls were meant to be reincarnated anyway. Sending them back to the underworld to queue for reincarnation was no different from sending her directly to be reborn.
However, Yu You, who grew up in an era of low birth rates and eugenics, felt a sense of guilt for adding to the country's population burden. Yu You even went so far as to repeatedly ask soul beasts whether there would be any problems with souls sent directly for reincarnation without going through the official channels of the underworld, such as congenital defects.
The soul beast considered it seriously for a while before shaking its head and replying, "No... better!"
"Wouldn't that be better?" Youyou was taken aback, and her heart sank. "So there are still problems, aren't there? Should I contact the Underworld Envoy to retrieve them all?"
"No, no!" The soul beast panicked and quickly grabbed You You, as if afraid she would misunderstand, and hurriedly said, "I...I...I mean...the Reincarnation Seal...is better!"
"This way of reincarnation is better?" You You finally understood. "Better than being reincarnated in the underworld?"
"Yes!" it nodded vigorously, "Soul energy...purification..."
"Can the Wheel Seal purify ghosts?" she interjected.
"Yes...!" The soul beast nodded again.
"It's good that there won't be any problems!" Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the soul beast, which had fallen silent again, a question that had been lingering since the day he delivered the soul resurfaced. He bent down and looked directly into the soul beast's eyes, unable to resist asking, "Soul beast, is it because you stutter a little that you don't like to talk to people?"
"..." The soul beast froze, its face turning deathly pale, looking as if its house had collapsed. It stared at her in shock, its face clearly saying, "How did you know?" It had been trying its best to hide it.
Youyou was speechless. It turned out that he really did have a stutter, and it wasn't because he was aloof from the underworld. No wonder he always spoke in two-word phrases; he hadn't noticed it before because he was quiet.
She only realized something was wrong after the last time she sent the soul away, and it became even more obvious when she got anxious just now.
The boy slumped down, looking utterly hopeless, with a hint of moisture in the corners of his eyes.
"Don't be sad!" Youyou panicked and quickly explained, "I didn't mean to look down on you. Actually, stuttering is nothing. You're a soul beast, so it's normal for you not to be used to human language for a while!"
"Really...?" The boy was taken aback and slowly raised his head.
“Of course it’s true.” Youyou couldn’t help but pat his head and continued, “You’re just not used to speaking. You’ll be fine with more practice. There’s no need to hide it. No one will laugh at you.”
His eyes lit up, as if he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by a burst of wild laughter...
"Hahahaha..." Fen Ze had somehow gotten onto the windowsill and overheard their conversation, instantly unleashing a level twelve taunt, "I heard you! You're a stuttering beast, hahahaha..."
The soul beast's expression, which had brightened slightly, instantly darkened again.
Youyou: "..." This unlucky kid who keeps ruining things.
The little monster laughed even more arrogantly and started rolling around on the windowsill.
"Stuttering Beast, Stuttering Beast..."
No...no!
"That's...that's it! Hahahaha..."
"Shut...shut up!"
"No, no...come and hit me!"
You You's lips twitched, before she could even stop it. A surge of Yin energy erupted from the soul beast, and it charged directly towards the windowsill. Fen Ze, quick-witted, taunted and then ran, flying off into the distance. In no time, one chased the other, and they both vanished into the horizon.
"..."
Youyou's face darkened, and she immediately sent a message to Fengrong, saying that it was time to teach that damned little rascal a lesson.
————————
late at night.
The young man, who was meditating and regulating his breathing, suddenly felt a familiar backlash arrive as expected. His meridians shattered inch by inch, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. However, the backlash within him did not stop; it carried a punitive connotation, beginning to wreak havoc within his body. He could no longer endure it and collapsed, transforming into a small black beast, curled up in a ball, letting out a few low whimpers.
It wasn't until a figure dressed in black robes suddenly appeared and reached out to brush against the little beast that its condition improved, and it slowly calmed down, panting heavily.
The figure in black robes made another hand seal to turn the other person back, then sighed and said, "Alas, I told you it was him, why did you have to go through all that trouble? In the end, you suffered a backlash, didn't you?"
The boy's face still showed pain, but he gritted his teeth and retorted, "I need to...confirm...before I know!"
"Look at your stubbornness! Is it any wonder he didn't want to take you with him in the first place!" The man in black shook his head, only to be glared at fiercely by the boy.
The man in black rubbed his nose. "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more! I won't say anything more! Now that it's confirmed, are you happy?"
The boy seemed to realize something, and his expression softened considerably. After a moment, he said, "She... summoned... the Wheel of Reincarnation Seal!"
"Oh?" The man in black robes looked surprised. "You've already summoned the Wheel Seal so quickly? Not bad, not bad at all! It seems you're already one-third complete!"
