"Feng Jiu, bring me my foot bath water!"
Peace Hotel, top floor, Presidential Suite No. 1.
Lin Shaoshuai was about to wash his feet.
After waiting for a long time, Feng Jiu finally brought back the foot-washing water.
"Young Marshal, it's getting late, you should rest. How about I give you a foot massage?"
"Oh, you can do this too? When did you learn it?" Lin Yu asked, slightly surprised.
Feng Jiu blushed and said, "That's because Qi Wei trained me!"
"Tsk tsk, Qi Wei is really lucky to have married such a good-for-nothing like you!"
"Young Marshal, you're mistaken. I'm not a coward, I just love my wife!" Feng Jiu retorted.
Lin Yu shook his head. "As someone who's been there, I can tell you for sure, this is a coward!"
"well!"
He sighed and continued, "Your young marshal is a prime example! I was once a son-in-law who married into the family, just like you!"
"I thought that if I tried hard enough and did enough, I could win her heart..."
"Young Marshal, you've already won over, haven't you? Your wife treated you very well afterward!" Feng Jiu comforted him.
Lin Yu shook his head. "No, I'm very realistic! Let me ask you a question: if I had kept my identity a secret and hadn't let her know I was the young marshal, do you think she would still have given it to me?"
Feng Jiu was stunned.
"Should... be able to?"
Can it be done or not?
Feng Jiu dared not speak carelessly.
But don't you already know the answer?
You used to sleep on the floor the whole time, okay? Even when you finally got into bed, there was still the 38th parallel, and you still have the nerve to mention it.
Feng Jiu inwardly grumbled, but there were some things she couldn't actually say aloud, or she'd probably be thrown out the window.
However, Lin Yu was still self-aware.
"I can say this with certainty: if I had continued to hide my identity as the young marshal and remained a blind husband, she wouldn't have given it to me!" Lin Yu said with certainty.
"Oh, how could that be? Young Marshal, you are so handsome and dashing. Your wife didn't fall in love with you because of your status!" "Come on, don't be ridiculous!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "Society is realistic, and people are realistic too! Love without material support is like a pile of loose sand. Besides, women admire strength. If you are not as strong as her, she will not give herself to you. No matter how much you do, it will be useless. She will never fall in love with someone who is not as good as herself!"
Feng Jiu nodded thoughtfully.
The young marshal is right.
Yes, it's not just reasonable, it's the truth!
"Young Marshal, try to think more positively. Back then, Madam hadn't awakened her ability to predict fate, so she had no idea about your past and present lives with her!" Feng Jiu continued to comfort her.
Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, it's because of our predestined relationship from a past life that I chose to accept and forgive her. I know her unavoidable predicament; she was tainted by the aura of the Void..."
Forgiving someone is easy, but forgetting someone... is so hard!
Lin Yu took a deep breath, feeling a tightness in his chest.
The air itself felt unnatural.
Feng Jiu pursed his lips. He knew who Lin Yu could never forget.
But what can we do?
Time cannot be turned back, and the dead cannot be brought back to life.
"Is it true that the dead cannot be brought back to life?"
Lin Yu muttered to himself.
He lived an upright and honest life, never wronged anyone, and had no regrets.
Only... Ling Shuang!
The poor woman who died for him became a mental block for him, an eternal pain.
"Young Marshal, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be brought back to life..."
"No!"
Lin Yu raised his head and said, "Although I've been busy with national affairs these past few days, I haven't been able to let go of Ling Shuang's death. I've gone through many possibilities in my mind, and there's only one: it's possible to bring Ling Shuang back!"
"Resurrection?"
Feng Jiu was shocked.
If a person is still breathing, or even has just died, then this is indeed a possibility.
but……
Han Ling Shuang is completely finished. In this situation, even if an Immortal Emperor or Immortal King came, it would most likely be impossible!
Lin Yu raised his eyes and said, "The Records of Mountains and Seas mentions a place where, in the primordial chaos, not only the human world and the divine realm collapsed, but also... the underworld! And at the border between the underworld and the human world, there is a river called the River of Oblivion! After a person dies, their soul falls into the River of Oblivion and will only enter the underworld three years later. As long as I have the time to find the River of Oblivion, I will definitely save Ling Shuang!"
"The River of Oblivion?"
Feng Jiu's eyes widened in surprise.
This idea is terrifying. Isn't the underworld just the netherworld?
How can a living person enter the underworld?
unless……
Thinking of this, Feng Jiu felt a chill run down her spine.
He immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Young Marshal, please think it over! This idea is too crazy, it must not be tried!"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly, and he said with a wry smile, "We've all died before, what's there to be afraid of? This is something I've always been curious about! Although I've awakened the power of destiny, I don't remember the process of Yin and Yang switching. Could it be that the River of Oblivion and the Meng Po soup are really that magical?"
"Reincarnation, it is truly mysterious! I can't help but want to know the truth behind all this!" Lin Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. "The Records of Mountains and Seas describes the ancient Heavenly Court, but it doesn't mention the Underworld at all. I think there must be some secret behind this, perhaps related to becoming an immortal. It's not just for Ling Shuang; as the Human Emperor, he should also find a way out for all cultivators of the human race!"
"Young Marshal..."
Feng Jiu still looked worried, but Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I won't try it for now! There are so many things to do right now, at least until I've dealt with the threat from the Lizardman Mother Clan!"
