After remaining silent for a long time, and gazing at him for just as long, she finally couldn't help but reach out and poke his shoulder with her finger. "What are you thinking about?"
Someone like him shouldn't be able to get distracted.
Instead of answering her question, he stood up and said, "It's time to go."
"Oh... then you can go. I'll stay here quietly for a while longer."
He glanced at her indifferently, then turned around and naturally took her hand, making her stand up and follow behind him.
Feng Guang followed him with small, quick steps, trying to pull her hand away but failing. She angrily said, "What are you doing!"
"To prevent you from falling into the River of Oblivion."
She felt guilty and had no way to refute this reason.
Forced out of the sea of red spider lilies by Naihe, Fengguang walked back to Naihe Bridge looking sickly. Naihe was walking beside her. Naihe was going to warn Meng Po, or at least tell that old woman, that Xia Fengguang should not be allowed to have any more chances to get close to the River of Oblivion.
Feng Guang coldly chuckled, "It really is a lot of trouble for you."
"I just don't want to see a woman whose mind has reverted to that of a newborn baby after drinking the water of oblivion. I don't like children because they're noisy." Naihe said, without stopping.
She was stunned for a moment, "Drinking the water of the River of Oblivion will turn you into a child?"
“Of course, everything from the past is forgotten, even what you used to do and what you learned will be completely forgotten.” He glanced at her again, “Otherwise, why would those people know nothing after reincarnation and have to learn everything all over again? Do you think the River of Oblivion’s function is only to make people forget their feelings?”
Fengguang: "..."
He spoke to her in a tone that seemed to say, "How could you be so stupid?" Her eyebrows twitched, but she couldn't argue with him because she really hadn't thought of that question. Now that she thought about it, she was glad she hadn't actually drunk the water of oblivion. An adult with the intelligence of an infant... just thinking about it was bizarre.
The Bridge of Helplessness, where souls cross every day, is already quite lively, but today it is even more so, with three more men on the bridge. Two of them are dressed in black and one in white, and the one in the lead is a refined gentleman dressed as a scholar.
The man at the head of the group frowned, his handsome face, which was usually stern and unsmiling, becoming even colder with his serious expression. He looked at Meng Po and said coldly, "What kind of decorum is this, dressed like this?"
"This is my family's decorum, it doesn't interfere with my work, why should you tell me what to wear?" Meng Po sat lazily in the chair, crossed her arms and glanced sideways, then pouted in boredom, "Really... if you have nothing to do, go handle some official business, what's the point of running out on patrol without a word?"
All the ghost messengers stood on both sides, silent, only staring at the man and woman in the middle with gossipy eyes.
Feng Guang asked Nai He in a low voice, "Who is this man?"
Naihe replied, "He is Yama Ao Ye."
She couldn't help but laugh, "Staying up all night... what kind of name is that?"
Four hundred years ago, the former King Yama had a bad experience and reincarnated as a human, saying he had to undergo tribulations. So Ao Ye took over and became the second King Yama. Because Ao Ye was always cold and ruthless, everyone in the underworld except Meng Po was afraid of him. As for why Meng Po wasn't afraid of him...
With the previous King Yama gone, she became the most senior person in the entire underworld. Even if she yelled at Ao Ye, he wouldn't do anything. It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that Ao Ye was extremely conservative and valued seniority. He was an old-fashioned person, and it was absolutely unacceptable for him to disrespect his elders.
