"They say pregnancy lasts ten months, and childbirth is the final act. How can this reincarnation suit guarantee 11 months?" Hui Shuo asked curiously from the side.
"Honorable guest, you may not know this, but this is precisely the essence of the supreme reincarnation garment. It ensures that even if you don't want to be born after your full term, you can stay in your mother's womb for another month and still be safe and sound, with everything going smoothly," the female ghost hurriedly explained to Hui Shuo.
"Wow, that's amazing! Can I just put it on? What style is it? Does it look good?" Hui Shuo seemed very interested when he heard this.
"It's very beautiful. This exquisite reincarnation outfit comes in men's and women's styles, and each style has nine different colors to choose from. Actually, this reincarnation outfit is like underwear, similar to a close-fitting cotton undershirt..."
The female ghost patiently introduced things to Hui Shuo, while Wang Yao ignored their nonsense and looked around, trying to figure out where it looked like the human world, but he couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Before him was a huge hall filled with a dazzling array of goods, more than half of which he couldn't recognize. Each ghost shopping in the mall had one or two female ghosts helping them with their shopping. The entire mall was bustling with ghosts, much more lively than a supermarket in the human world before the Spring Festival.
If he weren't busy with important matters and his soul lamp hadn't gone out, Wang Yao would have really wanted to stroll around the Ghostly Paradise Shopping Center and see what the ghosts of the underworld were buying, since they were all so busy. But he really wasn't in the mood right now, so he could only patiently look at the two female ghosts.
"We really didn't come here to shop. We really came to find the Human Realm Office of the Reincarnation Dao. Could you please tell me where the Human Realm Office is? Thank you so much!" Wang Yao bowed to the two female ghosts.
"Oh dear, our honored guest would be too kind to bow to us, it would be too much of a burden for us little devils!" a female ghost hurriedly exclaimed.
"Would you two honored guests like to take a look at those exquisite reincarnation clothes? They're right over there, with all sorts of styles and colors. They're very practical. Even if you're not in a hurry to reincarnate, it's always good to have them on hand." The other female ghost didn't forget to promote the reincarnation clothes to Hui Shuo.
"Father, Mother..." Hui Shuo seemed somewhat tempted.
"Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?" Wang Yao glared at Hui Shuo.
He was getting impatient. Were these two female ghosts blind or something? He and Hui Shuo were clearly an immortal and a mortal, but the two ghosts insisted on treating him and Hui Shuo as their own kind.
That Hui Shuo is so frivolous. He can't even walk past a female ghost. What's a monk like you doing buying reincarnation clothes? Can that thing be used as a cassock or a monk's robe? Are you buying it to keep warm or as fashion? You clearly have urgent business to attend to, aren't you just causing trouble?
"If our honored guest doesn't like the reincarnation robes, we also have a bowing device here. If our honored guest goes upstairs, the people upstairs are all senior ghost warriors who are much more experienced than yours. Your honored guest will have to pay respects to each of them, and your back can't take the strain..."
"With this bowing device, you can just stand there and the other person can see you bowing to them continuously. This way, you get the courtesy right without hurting your back. It's an essential item for going upstairs. Every honored guest who has the privilege of going upstairs will buy one to wear."
The female ghost who said Wang Yao had brought her misfortune finally started selling her wares.
"Gentlemen, we're not ghosts. You still can't tell? We really have urgent business in the human world. Could you please give us directions? We're not here to shop," Wang Yao said helplessly.
“Yes, yes, yes, ladies, I’ve been listening for a while now, and it seems you’re only selling things for ghosts. My father… my friend is right, we need human things, and you won’t sell those here. You should hurry up and take us to… what’s the matter?” Hui Shuo chimed in from the side.
"Human stuff? We have human stuff in our shopping center too! Human hearts, livers, stomachs, lungs... whatever part of the human body you want, we have it here. We even sell whole people, but they're not cheap. So you're a big shot, using human bodies for nourishment!"
The female ghost selling the reincarnation clothes looked at Wang Yao and his companion with an envious expression on her face.
"Amitabha, female benefactor, please don't speak carelessly. This humble monk is timid..." Upon hearing the words of the female ghost who was a saleswoman, Hui Shuo's face turned pale with fright.
Human hearts! Human livers! Wang Yao felt a chill run down his spine. This damn underworld was indeed harming the human world, actually selling human organs? And what the hell was this special term, "human organ"?
"Where can I buy the human heart and liver you mentioned? Take me there," Wang Yao said to the two female ghosts, no longer in a hurry to find the human realm office.
“Father…” Hui Shuo’s expression changed drastically. He was about to stop him when Wang Yao gently pushed him away, keeping his eyes fixed on the two female sales assistants.
"Oh my, you two distinguished guests are so elegant and distinguished. I could tell from the moment you entered that you have very high taste. All the staff and utensils here are extremely new. Sometimes the staff from upstairs even come down to get the goods."
When the two female ghosts saw that Wang Yao had finally found something that interested them, they were overjoyed and hurriedly led the two of them into the mall.
The further Wang Yao walked in, the more he felt how vast the mall was. Judging by its size, it was probably much larger than three or five football fields put together. Rows of shelves were piled high with all sorts of goods he couldn't name, and there were even shopping ghosts and sales assistants wandering among them, chattering and selecting items.
The two female ghosts led Wang Yao to the back part of the mall, where the colors of the product packaging on the shelves became monotonous, and the items displayed were mostly bottles and jars.
Wang Yao was urged forward by the two female sales assistants, and didn't quite understand what was going on. He only noticed that some items had words like "health care," "energizer," and "mind refreshment" written on them, so he guessed that this was probably a counter selling medicines and health products. Further inside, the shelves turned into large freezers.
