Bei Yusheng's death caused a stir in the entertainment industry, while Chunyu Xunfeng's death was quiet and kept to a small audience.
The disciples of Wandao Sect buried him according to the sect leader's ceremony. Relatives and friends related to the sect came to pay their respects, lamenting that he had never married and lived a solitary life.
Those disciples of the Myriad Paths Sect who knew the inside story felt a pang of sadness. Their sect leader was exceptionally talented and had many women who admired him, but the woman he loved was someone no mortal could ever desire—the Ghost King's bride.
Now that he can go to the underworld, is it a fulfillment of his long-cherished wish?
Although the disciples of the Wandao Sect often dealt with ghosts, they were not very clear about the affairs of the underworld. Knowing that Wenmo was dead, they guessed that Wenmo's soul must be in the underworld, accompanying the Ghost King for a long time. They did not know that the two had been gone from this world for decades.
After the funeral.
Everything at Wandaoshan has returned to peace.
...
The underworld.
Chunyu Xunfeng chose not to pass away for the time being because he still had unfulfilled wishes.
He wandered around the ghost market.
Beside the Bridge of Helplessness.
He looked at his full head of white hair and couldn't help but sigh softly.
She must still be as beautiful as ever.
After waiting for many days, he did not see the Ghost King and his wife on their tour. He asked the old ghost about the Ghost King and his wife and finally heard what he had been wanting to hear: the Ghost King doted on his wife, but she did not have exclusive favor to him. She also had a concubine who shared the Ghost King with her.
Chunyu Xunfeng was somewhat bewildered after hearing this.
Even the Ghost King treated her no better than this. Did she regret it?
He regretted it.
Over the years, he has regretted countless times why he was so easily subdued by the Ghost King's charm and didn't even dare to compete. Did the Ghost King really dare to kill him?
Now, he has no more regrets.
What he didn't fight for in life, he wants to fight for after death.
Enraged, he sneaked into the Ghost King's palace, intending to risk his right to reincarnation in exchange for her lifelong peace.
However, he was stunned the moment the Ghost King and his wife stepped out.
It wasn't him, it wasn't her!
"Where is Wenmo?"
"How dare you! How dare you, a mere little ghost, defile the name of the former Ghost King's wife!"
The former wife of the Ghost King?
Chunyu Xunfeng was dumbfounded.
He was forked away by the ghost messengers.
Later, after much searching, he finally learned of Wenmo's whereabouts; the two of them were no longer in the underworld.
Ming Hong only served as Ghost King for a little over a decade, making him the Ghost King with the shortest tenure in the Ghost Realm. The black jade coffins of the two are still kept in the Ghost Palace.
Chunyu Xunfeng was completely distraught. His decades-long wish seemed to have suddenly lost its direction. He had originally planned to see her one last time in the underworld and tell her that the thing he regretted most in his life was that he had never tried to win her over.
As a result, they didn't even have that opportunity.
He wandered aimlessly through the ghost market, then followed the ghosts, swaying and staggering until he heard someone say in his ear, "Drink this soup, and you'll remember nothing. Do you want some?"
"drink!"
Without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp. Only the moment he swallowed it did he realize that this might be the Bridge of Helplessness, the Meng Po soup.
His eyes showed surprise, and a hint of resentment.
However, soon enough, the Meng Po soup was swallowed.
That sense of resentment turned into confusion; he remembered nothing.
Someone gently pushed him on the back, saying, "Go! After drinking the Meng Po soup, there's nothing you can't let go of."
He fell into an endless vortex.
When it opened its eyes again, it let out a loud cry.
"Congratulations! Congratulations on the birth of a big, healthy boy, weighing six pounds and eight ounces."
The cycle of reincarnation continues, and life goes on.
