Chapter 127 can be exchanged for a chance to travel through time...
Chu Ci paused for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at her grandmother.
Grandma's face had turned dark.
She rolled her eyes at the dean, her smile vanishing.
“I picked up my daughter Aci, but she was abandoned!”
"What kind of person would throw a child into a trash can in the dead of winter?"
"If you leave it on the roadside, someone might pick it up. But throwing it in the trash is practically killing a child!"
"Who is your friend? Where do they live? I'm going to ask them if they know how many years they're sentenced to for abandoning a child!"
The dean was surprised by Grandma's excitement and his smile became awkward.
"Ms. Chu, please don't get agitated. I was just saying it casually. Perhaps I've mistaken you for someone else."
"You admitted you were wrong, yet you still say that!" Grandma glared at her.
"Fortunately, my daughter Aci is not the kind of person who cries and begs for her parents."
"Otherwise, if you admit your mistake, my child will have to search all over Hong Kong for you!"
The dean's smile grew increasingly bitter.
She glanced quickly at Chu Ci and apologized to her grandmother.
"Ms. Chu, please don't be angry. I just suddenly thought of this!"
"I didn't know about Miss Chu's background before. I thought she had been separated from her parents by accident."
"That's why I thought she might be looking for her biological parents. That's why..."
"That's nothing!" Grandma interrupted her.
"You think I'm a human trafficker, someone who abducted children?"
"No, no, that's definitely not it!" the dean pleaded repeatedly.
"I thought Miss Chu was adopted by you, Ms. Chu, that's why..."
"Oh dear," the dean's smile grew increasingly embarrassed, "I'm only making things worse by trying to explain."
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Chu. I just thought you were all good people and wanted to help you..."
Unexpectedly, not only did I not help, I also made them angry.
Grandma stormed out with Chu Ci, stomping her feet in anger.
"No wonder her orphanage is so bad; what kind of nonsense is she spouting!"
Chu Ci smiled and patted Grandma's shoulder, "Alright, alright, don't be angry."
"Let's be happy on such a joyous day."
Coaxed by her granddaughter and realizing that the director wasn't a bad person, Grandma's anger gradually dissipated.
While the two were waiting for the elevator downstairs, Grandma couldn't help but ask her again:
"If your parents come looking for you..."
"Where would I get parents from?" Chu Ci interrupted Grandma.
She looked down at the floor beneath her feet, her eyes slightly cold.
In her past life, she was an orphan abandoned at the gate of an orphanage; in this life, she was an orphan picked up by her grandmother.
In both her lives, she never thought of finding her biological parents.
Some people are destined to have shallow ties with their families, and she is one of them.
It was already destined, and she didn't want to make a futile struggle.
“They abandoned me when I was born, they treated me as if I were dead, and I treated them as if they were dead.”
When the elevator arrived at their floor, the doors opened, and she helped her grandmother inside.
As the elevator doors closed, she continued:
"So many reporters came to interview me today. What if it's true, as that hospital director said, that I look a lot like my biological parents?"
“They will definitely see me on TV and then come looking for me.”
"But they came to me now because they felt sorry for abandoning me back then."
"They still think that I'm famous, rich, and profitable..."
Chu Ci forced a smile. "No matter which one it is, I'll treat them as if they're dead."
Grandma looked at her cold profile and sighed silently.
Her voice softened, and she quietly tightened her grip on Chu Ci's hand.
"You can't be so sure. Grandma's getting old, what if she passes away one day, and you'll be all alone..."
"It's better for me to be alone than to be surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves and tigers who are related to me by blood."
Grandma: "..."
Seeing the determination in her eyes, Grandma sighed and patted her hand.
"Okay, as long as you have your own ideas."
Black Bean popped out of Grandma's pocket and stared at Chu Ci for a while with its bright green eyes.
He stuck out his tongue and licked her finger, "Meow~"
His voice was soft and gentle, as if he were comforting her.
Chu Ci stroked its round little cat head and took Grandma's arm.
"Grandma, don't worry about me. Even if I have no family, I still have friends."
"Whether it's Wu Jiangxue, Chen Xinxin, Bai Shengtian, Zhuang Jingxuan, or Master Qiu, I won't be alone."
Grandma breathed a sigh of relief when her granddaughter mentioned these people.
She took her granddaughter's hand and nodded gently.
"Yes, you still have friends. You have quite a few friends now, and you'll only have more in the future."
Her aged eyes looked at Chu Ci, and she raised her hand to touch her granddaughter's face.
"Grandma is just worried that you'll feel lonely on your own in the future."
She paused slightly, her eyes darted around, and then fell silent.
"Grandma?" Chu Ci called out to her.
But Grandma seemed to have thought of something; the melancholy between her brows vanished, replaced by a hint of excitement.
She glanced at Chu Ci with a smile and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Look at your grandma, she's getting senile!"
"Playing matchmaker is my old profession!"
"Aci, don't worry." Grandma grabbed her hand and they got out of the elevator together.
"Once the agency finds a good candidate, Grandma will reserve one for you immediately!"
Chu Ci: "..."
Let's forget about it!
Over the next few days, Chu Ci and Grandma were both very busy.
Grandma was there because the "Hope for a Lifetime of Love" matchmaking agency was about to open.
After the reporters covered it, many people learned about their marriage agency.
Many people have heard about Chu Ci's accurate judgment of people and want their daughters to find a reliable person.
In just a few days, Grandma and He Lihua received hundreds of appointment calls, keeping them extremely busy every day.
Chu Ci, on the other hand, was cooperating with Wu Jiangxue to capture people.
Wu Jiangxue was in charge of finding people, while Chu Ci, the fat monk, and Shen Zaikun were in charge of leading people to the underworld.
Occasionally, after get off work, I would visit the former director who was lying in the hospital.
The old director always looked listless whenever he saw the two of them.
Sometimes, when no one was around, he would secretly ask Chu Ci:
"Do ghosts and the underworld really exist? What number would you be in the underworld?"
Chu Ci touched his nose. "I'm just a worker. I can't even get a number."
But every time the old director looked at her, his eyes were meaningful, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
After they had apprehended most of the people on Zhong Jia's list, the underworld's dark messengers brought news to Chu Ci.
"I've made arrangements here. Let Mr. Zhong meet with his sister."
After finishing his work, Chu Ci went to find Sun Lingyan.
When I met Sun Lingyan, she had just returned from a banquet.
Upon seeing Chu Ci, she paused slightly, "Master?"
Chu Ci: "..."
The moment Chu Ci saw Sun Lingyan, he knew that she was not Zhong Jia.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to ask.
"It's okay, I just went to the wrong place."
She planned to visit the small villa that Zhong Jia had previously visited, but Sun Lingyan stopped her.
"Master, are you looking for Miss Zhong?"
Chu Ci suddenly turned her head. "You know?"
Sun Lingyan nodded.
"Master, please wait a moment, I will have someone contact Miss Zhong right away."
She led Chu Ci into the villa and asked him to sit in the living room and wait.
The maid had just served tea and fruit when Sun Lingyan changed her clothes and came downstairs.
"Master, I've contacted Miss Zhong, and she said she'll be returning to China tomorrow."
She sat down next to Chu Ci and repeated Zhong Jia's words.
"Miss Zhong also said that she will give you a big gift later, and hopes that you can bring the police to pick it up."
"Oh right, we also need to bring more people."
Chu Ci: "..."
She paused for a moment, then instantly understood what Zhong Jia meant.
"Okay, I understand."
She stood up, intending to inform Wu Jiangxue to prepare more people.
As she was about to leave, looking at Sun Lingyan's unchanged face, she couldn't help but ask:
How have you been lately?
Sun Lingyan was puzzled for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled and nodded.
"I'm fine. Miss Zhong found someone to take care of my boss. Because of our marriage, all of my boss's assets belong to me."
"I plan to donate all the dirty money he made in the next few days, keep the clean businesses, but I also need to investigate the internal staff."
"Although I'm quite busy, I finally have some freedom and my life is quite fulfilling."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Chu Ci's expression and realized that what she had said was probably not what she meant.
"Master, you..."
Chu Ci carefully observed her expression and frowned slightly.
"I meant your physical condition, you..."
Sun Lingyan suddenly realized.
She touched her lower abdomen and said, "I've scheduled surgery and plan to go after I'm done with this busy period."
“As for the rest,” she tilted her head, a little puzzled, “I don’t feel uncomfortable.”
"Miss Clock used my body to absorb that stuff, but later she injected another drug into her body."
"It's probably an antidote, anyway, I'm not addicted to that stuff."
Chu Ci was relieved. "That's good."
When she left, Sun Lingyan specially arranged for someone to drive her to the police station.
Wu Jiangxue led her men out of the police station and saw Chu Ci at the entrance, which startled her.
"Aci? It's so late, is something the matter?"
Chu Ci nodded solemnly.
Seeing her meaning, Wu Jiangxue told the others to go ahead with their work and took Chu Ci to her office.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Chu Ci: "Zhong Jia is returning to China tomorrow, and he will likely bring the rest of the drug gang back with him."
Wu Jiangxue: "..."
The hardest person to catch in a criminal gang is its leader.
But if the boss betrays the group, the whole organization is finished.
"Okay, I'll go and discuss it with the old director right away."
Wu Jiangxue patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, her eyes burning with intensity.
"I'll definitely have the old director apply for some funding to reward you!"
She went out with Chu Ci; one went to the hospital, and the other went home.
The incense shop has not been operating normally these past few days because Chu Ci has been busy.
However, because of the "Hope for a Lifetime" marriage agency, the store has seen a significant increase in foot traffic compared to before.
Grandma saw a mother and daughter off as they left, and then she saw Chu Ci standing not far away watching her.
"Aci!"
Grandma waved happily to her and walked over quickly.
She took her granddaughter's hand and said with a smile, "You're finally back! Come on, take a look at these people's photos and birth dates."
"Our agency can't introduce unreliable people to others."
When introducing someone to a marriage, the biggest fear is that they might end up with an unreliable or deceptive partner.
Because of Aci's reputation, their matchmaking agency is attracting more and more people.
He Lihua had just returned with a lunchbox when she saw Chu Ci enter the room, and quickly handed one to her.
"Come on, my hero, these are all your favorite foods!"
While handing the bento box to Chu Ci, she also took out a few boxes of side dishes.
"Dan-jie told me you like this, so I specially asked Jingjing's dad to buy it!"
The little girl, Jingjing, had just finished her homework and was sitting opposite Chuci, eating quietly without making a fuss.
Chu Ci ate very quickly; the little girl had only taken a few bites when she had already finished her meal.
"Master Sister, you eat so fast!" the little girl exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"You'll finish all this food in just a few bites!"
Jingjing's family values eating slowly and carefully, but Chu Ci had developed a habit of eating very quickly while working in the police force.
After all, cases don't care about time. If you don't eat quickly, you'll be in a hurry to get to the scene, and if you don't eat quickly, there won't be any left to eat.
Chu Ci wiped her mouth and laughed, "Jingjing, don't follow my example! Children who eat so fast will get a stomachache!"
Grandma felt a little sorry for her seeing how fast she ate.
"Don't rush to look at the photos. Even adults would get a stomachache if they ate that fast."
Chu Ci shook his head and laughed, "You guys are giving me a share of the profits, so of course I have to be more proactive!"
To be honest, Grandma and He Lihua make far more money running this marriage agency than she does running her incense shop.
The money the two of them earned during this period was equivalent to two or three months' income from her incense shop.
He Lihua: "We're all family, there's no rush."
She asked with concern, "Aci, have you eaten enough? If not, I'll go buy some more."
"No need to buy, I'm full."
Chu Ci waved his hand and focused on looking at the stack of photos.
Upon closer inspection, we did indeed spot a few people.
"This won't do, this won't do, this won't do either, and this one, this one..."
She picked out several photos in a row.
"This guy gambles, and his ex-wife was ruined by him."
"This woman is a honey trap; she specifically scams her husband's insurance money!"
"This man had been to prison before, and after his release, he kept stealing petty things. Marrying him would be a disaster."
"And this man, he's a domestic abuser! He not only beats his wife, but he also beats his own parents!"
"Finally, there's this woman. She's not divorced yet, and she's already busy looking for a new husband. She's unreliable!"
After her screening, He Lihua and Grandma breathed a sigh of relief and put away the photos of these people separately.
"Okay, I'll call these people tomorrow. We'll temporarily suspend our business with them."
The marriage agency has relatively flexible hours. After the group finished their meal, He Lihua took her daughter for a walk.
Chu Ci, carrying the much-grown little black bean, went home with her grandmother.
After the last interview, all the neighbors in the building now know her.
As soon as Chu Ci entered the elevator, a neighbor greeted her with a smile.
"Master Chu, are you closing so early today?"
"Yes, I've been busy with other things these past few days."
After greeting the neighbor, they even made an appointment to go to the store tomorrow to buy amulets.
Chu Ci agreed and, after getting off the elevator, asked Grandma about the landlady and her sister-in-law.
"Grandma, did Cheng Zhenzhen's aunt come to the shop again?"
When Aunt Cheng Zhenzhen was mentioned, Grandma's expression was indescribable.
Previously, she received a request from her former landlady, A-Jun, who is also Cheng Zhenzhen's mother, to help her look at the birth charts of her sister-in-law and her boyfriend.
But her boyfriend is unreliable; if she marries him, she'll definitely lose both her money and her lover.
Grandma told the former landlady, Ah Jun, about the result, and Ah Jun also told her sister-in-law the truth.
Who knew that her sister-in-law couldn't stand such words at all; she went to someone to read her birth chart just to hear something nice.
She came to the "Hope for a Lifetime" marriage agency that very day and caused a scene, telling many customers that the agency was unreliable.
This put the former landlady, Ah Jun, in a difficult position, and she had to apologize to Grandma for several days in a row.
Grandma: "Oh dear, it's impossible to persuade this wretched girl with kind words. She insists on marrying that man, and we can't change her mind."
"Anyway, I told her that the man was just trying to scam her out of her money."
"If she wants to marry him, she should be prepared to lose both her money and her husband."
Chu Ci: "What did the landlady say?"
"How could your Aunt Jun possibly control her?"
Grandma sighed as she looked at her landlady, who was her sister-in-law.
"Anyway, Zhenzhen's dad won't give his sister any more money. No matter how much your aunt Jun makes a fuss, Zhenzhen's dad said he won't give her any money."
"Your Aunt Jun is too lazy to care about her."
When talking about Cheng Zhenzhen's grandmother, Grandma couldn't help but complain.
"This man is really strange. He treats his own daughter like a treasure, but he treats his granddaughter like trash."
"They're all girls, so they favor boys over girls when it comes to their grandchildren, but they dote on their own daughters."
Chu Ci snorted, "Maybe it's because I gave birth to her."
Once inside, Black Bean jumped down from her arms and ran to its nest to sharpen its claws.
"Meow meow meow~"
It hummed and whined twice, tricking Grandma into giving it some dried fish.
It happily licked its paws and then obediently went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Chu Ci went to the police station to find Wu Jiangxue.
Unexpectedly, Sun Lingyan was also there.
Upon seeing Chu Ci, she quickly stood up.
"master."
Chu Ci asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?"
Sun Lingyan smiled and handed her a note, "Miss Zhong would like to meet you here."
Chu Ci took the note; it listed a very famous hotel in Hong Kong.
“Okay,” she stuffed the note into her pocket. “I understand. I’ll bring some people and wait for her here.”
Sun Lingyan nodded, picked up her bag, and left the police station.
Because of this little incident, Chu Ci didn't go to the airport with Wu Jiangxue to intercept them, but instead went to the underworld.
Hei Yincha had been waiting for her for a long time, and breathed a sigh of relief when she finally arrived.
"Hurry, hurry, bring him upstairs quickly. He probably won't survive today; Mr. Zhong will be gone forever."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but feel anxious.
Zhong Jia still hasn't given us half of the list!
"Okay, I'll take him up right away!"
We still need to urge Zhong Jia.
Hide Mr. Zhong inside the umbrella and take him to the hotel.
While waiting for Zhong Jia, Mr. Zhong also stood by the window and waited.
He had probably heard about what Zhong Jia had done over the years, and his brows were full of worry.
What will become of my sister in the future?
He spoke out abruptly, and Chu Ci was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about.
“Zhong Jia, she…”
Chu Ci paused for a moment, feeling that this person would probably live in one of the eighteen levels of hell in turn.
But she didn't say that; she said it more tactfully:
"It depends on how the underworld judges it; nobody can say for sure."
Mr. Zhong lowered his long, curled eyelashes, his handsome profile was pale, and he said nothing.
Chu Ci sat awkwardly for half an hour before Zhong Jia finally arrived.
Unlike the fiery red lips she remembered, Zhong Jia was dressed very simply today.
She wore a simple white dress, her jet-black hair was braided and hung over her shoulders, and her face was exceptionally fair.
Without the large hat obscuring her face, Chu Ci was finally able to see what she looked like.
She has an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and a small, upturned nose—a very delicate and refined appearance.
This is very different from her previous style; they are almost the two extremes.
Zhong Jia had run all the way here. Standing in front of the door, she leaned against the door frame with one hand, panting heavily.
The moment she saw Mr. Zhong, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Chu Ci went out and reminded the two of them:
"There's a formation in this room; you can't get out."
She reminded Zhong Jia, "Mr. Zhong is about to be terrified, you'd better hurry."
"Soul scattered?!"
Zhong Jia raised his voice and glared at him with bloodshot eyes.
What did you do to my brother?!
Chu Ci shrugged. "We didn't do anything."
"Your brother has waited for you for so many years; any other ghost would have been annihilated long ago."
"He was able to wait for you because he did many good deeds in his life."
Mr. Zhong looked at his sister, who looked exactly like he remembered her, and nodded.
“Miss Chu is right. It’s because I haven’t reincarnated for too long that this is the case. It has nothing to do with the underworld.”
Zhong Jia pouted, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Chu Ci closed the door when he left, leaving the two of them plenty of time alone.
To her surprise, Zhong Jia didn't make her wait too long.
About an hour later, she came out with swollen eyes and handed her the umbrella where Mr. Zhong had been hiding.
"Take my brother to be reincarnated, and I'll go with you."
"After I've atoneed for my sins, I'll be reincarnated and then I'll go find my brother."
Chu Ci: "..."
She never expected that Zhong Jia would have the courage to go to the underworld.
"...Do you know what awaits you in the underworld?"
Zhong Jia sniffed and smiled, "I can probably guess."
She gripped the umbrella tightly in her hand.
"But I'm not reconciled. I'm not reconciled to waiting all these years just to see my brother once."
"I want to be reincarnated, I want to spend this life with him."
Chu Ci: "..."
She looked at the stubbornness in Zhong Jia's eyes and remained silent for a moment.
"Okay, if you've thought it through."
She took Zhong Jia to a secluded place and then called Wu Jiangxue over.
After she takes Zhong Jia to the underworld, Wu Jiangxue will be responsible for collecting their bodies.
Of course, what they collected was Zhong Jia's corpse; Chu Ci himself still needed to live.
Chu Ci learned Zhong Jia's final fate from the Black Yin Messenger.
"Neither she nor that Principal Mo are good people."
"Both of them will have to stay in the eighteenth level of hell for hundreds of years, and they won't be able to reincarnate during those hundreds of years."
"But all things considered, Principal Mo is still a bit worse."
"Zhong Jia just wants to stay young forever and live forever. That Principal Mo, he wants everything."
"He wants immortality, gold and silver, wealth and status—he wants them all!"
A human and a ghost sat on a park bench, each holding a beer, gossiping amongst themselves.
After finishing the fish cake that Chu Ci bought for it, Hei Dou jumped into Chu Ci's arms and licked its paws.
The black-clad messenger took the opportunity to touch it twice and continued:
"There's something you'd never guess: Principal Mo used to have a crush on Zhong Jia!"
"At first, he borrowed lifespan to achieve immortality because he was afraid that Zhong Jia would be too lonely after all her relatives and friends died."
"After he successfully extended his lifespan, he fell in love with someone else and even tried to kill Zhong Jia and take his place."
"Contact the evil god who borrowed my life directly, and I will no longer be bound by Zhong Jia's shackles."
“Zhong Jia originally wanted to kill him too, and the two had been at odds for decades.”
"But because Principal Mo was in charge of the key business of the drug group, and Zhong Jia had the method of life-extending, the two shook hands and made peace again."
"But as far as I know, Principal Mo has lived for so many years and has never lacked women in his life."
Blackie almost got grabbed by Black Bean, but quickly withdrew his hand.
Pick up a skewer of grilled food, take a bite and a sip of water, and let out a satisfied sigh.
He looked at Chu Ci beside him and spoke earnestly.
"Sister Chu, listen to my advice, never trust a man's words."
Seeing Chu Ci nod, he changed the subject.
"I heard you've been going on blind dates lately?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Chu Ci nearly choked to death.
She coughed painfully and stared at the black-clad messenger.
"Who told you that?"
The dark-skinned official looked at her as if he had caught her red-handed.
"Really? You're really going on a blind date? And with 001? Is it him? Is this an office romance?"
He kept asking questions, and Chu Ci couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Did the fat monk tell you that? Don't listen to his nonsense! I have nothing to do with 001!"
"His younger brother is getting married, and his mother keeps urging him to find a girlfriend."
"My grandma kept urging me, and since she had 001's contact information, she wanted us to get to know each other."
"But we're just colleagues, there's absolutely no other relationship between us!"
The black-clad man didn't believe her and pursed his lips as he glanced at her.
"How could it be unrelated? Linglinger was crying and complaining to me yesterday, saying that you two are dating and deliberately isolating him!"
"You have no idea how badly he cried! He's already chubby, and crying like that made his face even more swollen!"
Chu Ci: "I knew it was that petty fat guy!"
As soon as she looked up, the guilty-looking fat man and Shen Zaikun were standing not far away.
"Fat monk! Are you talking nonsense?!"
She charged forward with the soul-snatching rope, nearly scaring the fat monk's soul away.
"Who told you two to secretly go on a date without telling me!"
He was so frightened that he ran away immediately.
"You two are dating!"
"That was a matchmaking event organized by my grandma's matchmaking agency. You didn't sign up, so how could you participate!"
The fat monk retorted, "I can't participate because neither of you told me! You two are the ones with the problem!"
He's been living a very comfortable life lately and has gained quite a bit of weight.
He gained some fame after rescuing the female students who had their lifespans borrowed by Chu Ci last time.
Taking advantage of the situation, I opened a shop specifically to help those souls with unresolved attachments and to help them fulfill their regrets.
Because of this, he made a little money and at the same time greatly increased the reincarnation rate in the underworld.
Not only did they receive praise, but they were also told that after they died, their part-time job would be converted into a full-time one.
They went directly from interns to full-time employees.
Although the fat monk said he didn't care, he no longer hesitated to eat the food from the mortal world.
After all, he wouldn't be able to eat it if he died, so he wanted to eat as much as he could while he was still alive.
Most of the money I earn now goes to my mouth, and I've gained another ten pounds in the blink of an eye.
So fat that he could barely walk, he was grabbed by the back of the neck by Chu Ci.
"You fatso, you petty jerk! It's just that we ate well and didn't invite you!"
The fat monk retorted, "You know you didn't take me with you!"
Chu Ci: "Didn't we pack one for you later? Ah Kun even paid for it!"
"That's such an affectionate way of addressing me! If you call me 'Fatty,' then if it's 001 you'll call me 'Ah Kun'!"
Fat monk: "You two still say you have nothing to do with each other!"
Seeing him howling in pain as Chu Ci beat him, he managed to hold on thanks to his fat body.
The black-clad messenger quickly grabbed Chu Ci.
"Alright, alright, we'll deal with him later! Let's talk about the important stuff first!"
Chu Ci was pulled away by him. "Do you have something important to do?"
"How can I not have anything important to do!" Hei Yincha straightened his back.
He chuckled and took a box out of his pocket.
"The rewards from above have come down. I took the merit and exchanged it for a chance to be reincarnated."
"After the Cold Food Festival next year, I will be reincarnated."
"This is yours."
He opened the small box.
"Handsome monk, you helped send a large number of infant spirits back to the underworld, relieving the shortage of reincarnations in the underworld. You are hereby rewarded with a wisp of merit."
As he spoke, a wisp of merit flew out of the small box and entered the fat monk's forehead.
"Chu Ci and Shen Zaikun were also involved in this matter, so each of you will receive a wisp of merit."
Two strands of merit disappeared into the space between Chu Ci's and Shen Zaikun's eyebrows respectively.
"Next, help eighteen female students to extend their lifespan and prevent riots in the mortal world. This is Chu Ci and the fat monk's doing, and each of them will contribute a wisp of merit."
Two more strands of merit flew out of the box and disappeared into the space between Chu Ci and the fat monk's eyebrows.
"Finally, it mainly belongs to Chu Ci."
The black-clad messenger handed the small box directly to Chu Ci.
"For helping to resolve the issues with Zhong Jia and the life-extending group behind her, and maintaining order in the world of living beings, I hereby award ten strands of merit!"
The fat monk touched his forehead and couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
"Sister Chu, you have accumulated so much merit!"
He thought about his life after he was officially hired, and looked longingly at the Black Underworld Messenger.
"Brother, after I get promoted, can I be like you, reincarnated to play, and continue being a ghost messenger after death?"
Hei Yincha smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"Theoretically, it is possible."
Fat monk: "But what about in reality?"
"In fact, I served as a messenger in the underworld for hundreds of years before I accumulated enough merit to be reincarnated."
"If you want to continue being a messenger in the underworld after being reincarnated, you'll just have to suffer for a while!"
The fat monk exclaimed "Ah!" and his eyes darted around.
"Sister Chu, since you're going to be reincarnated soon anyway, you won't need this much merit. Can you give me half?"
He shamelessly leaned his big head closer, but didn't hear Chu Ci's reply for a long time.
Seeing Chu Ci staring blankly, he gently nudged her.
"Sister Chu?"
Chu Ci was gently pushed by him and came back to her senses.
The system's voice still echoed in my ears.
[The donation box is full; you can exchange it for one time travel opportunity.]
[Redeem or not?]
