The original owner led the little girl to the place where the fight was taking place. Upon closer inspection, the person fighting was Luo Shaoxuan. He was being attacked by a group of men in black. Although Luo Shaoxuan was very skilled in martial arts, he was no match for the number of opponents and could only struggle to hold on. He had already been injured.
The original owner remembered how kind Luo Shaoxuan had been to her when they were children, so she helped Luo Shaoxuan by creating some noise to attract the attention of those people, allowing Luo Shaoxuan to escape smoothly.
After helping Luo Shaoxuan, the original owner realized that time was running out, so she hurriedly took the little girl to the entrance of the underworld. In the end, she was still a moment too late, and after much pleading, she finally got the ghost guards at the entrance to let them in.
Luo Shaoxuan, who had escaped, returned to the Luo residence and was very grateful to the person who had helped him. He sent people to search for him. The servants found out that Miss Zhang Lingwan had happened to pass by the abandoned house in a carriage that day, and Luo Shaoxuan mistakenly thought that it was Zhang Lingwan who had helped him.
Zhang Lingwan was the niece of Luo Shaoxuan's mother, Zhang Shi. She happened to be visiting that day, and because she was delayed on the way, she traveled overnight and arrived at the Luo residence just as the sun was rising.
Because he was grateful to Zhang Lingwan, Luo Shaoxuan took good care of her while she was staying at the Luo residence. Zhang Lingwan gradually fell in love with him. Luo Shaoxuan's mother, Madam Zhang, thought that Luo Shaoxuan was interested in Zhang Lingwan, so she arranged a marriage between them.
The original owner was frail and sickly as a child, and no one wanted to play with her. Only Luo Shaoxuan took care of her in every way, so she always liked Luo Shaoxuan very much and was happy to become his wife. Unfortunately, her health failed her and she passed away at a young age.
Ever since she saw Luo Shaoxuan in the abandoned house, the original owner often thought of Luo Shaoxuan. Finally, she couldn't help but visit Luo Shaoxuan when she had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Luo Shaoxuan's courtyard in the Luo Mansion, Luo Shaoxuan was lying in bed poisoned.
Seeing that the poison was extremely potent and that Luo Shaoxuan would die from it, the original owner violated the rules of the underworld and used magic to save Luo Shaoxuan. She stayed in the Luo residence for three days without returning to the underworld, taking care of Luo Shaoxuan day and night. When she knew that Luo Shaoxuan was gradually recovering, the original owner was taken back to the underworld by the ghost messengers.
Luo Shaoxuan thought that Zhang Lingwan was the one taking care of him, and he was very grateful. He originally disagreed with the marriage arranged by his mother, but he accepted it because of this.
The original owner was taken back to the underworld and whipped one hundred times with a thirteen-section snake bone whip for violating the rules. If it weren't for Han Qianmu, the original owner would have been punished and sent to the animal realm. Even so, the original owner could no longer serve as a messenger of the underworld and was sent to the Yellow Springs as a ferryman of the Yellow Springs, never to return to the mortal world.
The original owner was a ferryman in the underworld for all eternity. Luo Shaoxuan often took her ferry across the river. However, the original owner always covered herself with a large cloak. After Luo Shaoxuan got ashore, she would stare at his back for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.
After absorbing the memories, Han Lingxi felt somewhat sad. She felt that the original owner of this world was like the Little Mermaid in a fairy tale, except that she was not lucky enough to turn into bubbles, nor did she get the immortal soul she wanted. She could only endure the pain that she should not have to endure day after day, endlessly repeating the same cycle.
After reflecting on her feelings, Han Lingxi thought of a more practical issue.
"System, what time is it now? Have we passed the hundred lashes yet?"
Han Lingxi didn't want to be beaten, especially by the Thirteen-Section Snake Bone Whip, which was something that all the ghosts in the underworld feared. It was not something to be trifled with, and she didn't want to experience that.
