Chapter 94 The Heart of the Ocean Ling Yan Didn’t Complete It
Everyone drank some wine.
The black wolfberry rice wine and rose rice wine were brewed by the chef in Shican's family. Although the alcohol content was not high, it was surprisingly strong and could easily make the drinker drunk.
Although Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia did not fall down, they started talking nonsense as they drank.
"I-I'm going to drive from Amagi to Paris!"
Wen Miyan raised her hands and gestured randomly, drunkenly saying,
"Then buy the Eiffel Tower and hang my picture on it..."
"With your driving skills, you could definitely knock the Eiffel Tower over and then pay for it."
Shi Can handed the kudzu root water to Wen Miyan.
"But you're more likely to knock down my wall first. Stop going crazy and wake up."
Ye Yangjia showed a strange smile:
"Hey, baguette...kitten, come home with me..."
"You have one too."
Shi Can lifted Ye Yangjia, who had fallen off the chair, back onto the chair and poured the kudzu root water into his mouth.
"You're such a pervert that even kittens run away from you, and they're still going home with you?"
Lin Zhuyue huddled in a corner, drinking wine like it was water, and asked worriedly:
"Are they all right?"
Shi Can couldn't feed the kudzu root water, so he simply poured another cup of rice wine and handed it to Ye Yangjia's mouth, saying:
"Keep drinking! Even if you pass out, that's fine! It'll save you a lot of trouble!"
Ye Yangjia grabbed the cup, drank the rice wine in one breath, and lay straight on the ground.
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can dragged Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia into the car, secured them with seatbelts, and nervously closed the door. The driver started the car and took the two unconscious people home.
"Stay at my house tonight."
Shi Can turned his head to seek Lin Zhuyue's opinion.
"Noodles or wontons for dinner?"
Lin Zhuyue asked: "Can't I eat wonton noodles?"
Shi Can paused and praised:
"...You are truly a genius."
Although she had just drunk rice wine and wasn't drunk, Lin Zhuyue couldn't help but notice the stench of alcohol on her body. After watching the car carrying Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia leave, Lin Zhuyue returned to her room and took the elevator to the fourth floor, intending to take a shower in her room.
The room she stayed in was originally a guest room.
But now it would be a stretch to say that this is a guest room.
The cloakroom was filled with her clothes, the shoe cabinet was filled with her shoes, and in the corner were two suitcases she had brought with her. The shower gel in the bathroom had her favorite scent, and on the table were her hairpins and stuffed toys.
This room is already filled with her scent.
This isn't a guest room, this is her room.
Shortly after Lin Zhuyue entered the room, she found a beautifully wrapped box on the bed, with a scented handwritten greeting card on top of the box.
"Zhuyue, your existence is an unexpected surprise. Nineteen years ago, a surprise came to the world. Nineteen years later, we are deeply grateful for the arrival of the surprise."
"Cui Yi, Shi Yingshao stayed."
Lin Zhuyue reached out, grabbed a corner of the ribbon, and with a slight tug, the ribbon tied to the gift box loosened. After she opened the box, she raised her hand to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming out loud.
Inside the box was a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg. The brilliance and shape of the gem were perfect, and its color was deep and pure, like the eyes of a god or the heart of the ocean.
Below the sapphire is a jewelry appraisal certificate, which describes the sapphire in detail: it is from Mogu, weighs 23 carats, and is royal blue in color.
Lin Zhuyue looked at the gem in amazement, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with tears. She reached out and picked up the gem that was sealed in the box. What she picked up was not only the gem, but also the precious gift she cherished.
Later that day, Lin Zhuyue received a gift from Ms. Lin Lang. A text message with the words "Happy Birthday" indicated that two million yuan had been deposited into Lin Zhuyue's bank card.
Summer vacation is coming to an end.
The Ghost Festival is also coming soon.
Lin Zhuyue carefully parked the car in front of the Ling family's old house.
Lin Zhuyue had originally said she wanted a larger SUV, but Shi Can actually bought her a large one from Taichung. The car was incredibly difficult to drive in the narrow alley in front of the Lings' house, and Lin Zhuyue was terrified, fearing it would be damaged within ten days of her arrival.
She was so focused on the car that she didn't notice the figure in front of the old house's gate, nor did she notice when Shi Chan's face sitting in the passenger seat became gloomy.
After parking the car, Lin Zhuyue discovered that there was a "Duan Junheng" standing in front of the old wooden door.
Ming Hui had a habit of wearing black clothes, and when he possessed Duan Junheng, he was wearing a short black shirt with cloth buttons. The shirt was embroidered with silver patterns, and his whole body was full of exquisiteness and refinement.
Shi Chan got out of the car and asked:
"What are you doing here?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp and dangerous light flashing in them. It was as if if Duan Junheng's answer did not satisfy him, he would immediately summon his absolute blade and wrestle with Duan Junheng.
"Duan Junheng" ignored Shi Can.
It was not until Lin Zhuyue turned off the car, got out, and walked up to him that he looked at the old wooden door and said:
"I'm here to pay my respects to an old friend. You won't reject me, will you?"
Lin Zhuyue was silent for a moment, then took the key to open the door of the Ling family's old house and said to "Duan Junheng":
"Come in."
Shi Chan crossed his arms and turned his head away in displeasure.
He hated Ming Hui very much, but this was after all a place where the Ling family's ancestors were enshrined, so he couldn't engage in a brawl with Ming Hui here. Being beaten to a point of disfigurement was a small matter, but demolishing someone's house would be a huge problem.
After being awkward for a while, he walked forward and helped Lin Zhuyue arrange the offerings.
They brought some fresh fruits, including jackfruit, melon, small varieties of watermelon, and Queen Nina, a large grape with a sweetness as amazing as its price.
After placing the offerings, Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can lit the sandalwood incense, bowed three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
"Duan Junheng" stood aside and watched silently.
Lin Zhuyue secretly picked a few grapes and sat on the porch, eating them while watching Shi Can weed. She offered the grapes to "Duan Junheng," but he refused to take them and just stood quietly beside her.
Lin Zhuyue did not force it, took back the hand that was sharing the grapes, sat on the porch and ate while asking:
"Are you close to my dad?"
Duan Junheng was silent for a long time before answering:
"No matter how good the relationship between the Ghost King and the Spirit Master is, it's not that good. Ling Yan and I are friends because of a promise he made, but he didn't fulfill it. The son follows in his father's footsteps, and that's why I came to you."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "What promise?"
After she met Ming Hui, she could feel for a long time that Ming Hui had no hostility towards her and even seemed to want to take care of her. However, she did not like Ming Hui and did not want to accept his care, which was almost threatening.
"Unlock the seal of the underworld."
Duan Junheng stood beside Lin Zhuyue with his hands behind his back and said,
"He said he would definitely accomplish this, and I believed he could do it because he is the strongest spiritual master I have ever seen, even stronger than I was when I was alive. And then... you know."
The grapes are very sweet.
But Lin Zhuyue suddenly felt that it had lost its taste.
Lin Zhuyue lowered his eyes and said dejectedly:
"I heard that he didn't even have a soul left."
Duan Junheng nodded and said, "My soul has been scattered."
Lin Zhuyue sighed for Ling Yan and said:
"You are a ghost cultivator and a ghost king. You and the underworld should be hostile. Why are you so obsessed with breaking the seal of the underworld?"
"I have an old friend in the underworld."
Duan Junheng looked towards the distant sky and said,
"If the seal of the underworld isn't lifted, she and I will never see each other again. I've waited for years, until Ling Yan died, the Ling family's bloodline withered, and only you remained. I've been pushing you constantly, because you're my only remaining hope."
Shi Chan, who was pulling weeds in the yard, said unhappily:
"If Ling Yan's spirit were still there, he would definitely beat you if he knew you treated his daughter like this."
Duan Junheng did not deny Shi Can's assumption and said, "Maybe."
Not long after, the incense in the incense burner burned out.
Duan Junheng pulled out a blue folder from behind his back like a magician, stuffed it into Lin Zhuyue's hand, and said:
"You've almost rested enough. It's time to do the mission."
Lin Zhuyue: "..."
Shi Can, who had just finished pulling out the weeds, said: “…………”
Shi Can took off his gloves, walked to the corridor, and couldn't help but say:
"Lord City Lord, you really look like a death messenger. You're more suitable to be a ghost messenger. It's a pity that you died after being sealed in the underworld."
Duan Junheng responded, "I'll consider it. Let's see what the mission is."
Lin Zhuyue and Shi Can got together and opened the folder.
Shi Chan frowned as he watched.
This mission is different from usual ones. They are not facing the dead, but newborn babies.
The mission is located in Nanyao City, and the client is the Spiritual Master Mansion.
Thirty years or even longer ago, there lived a family in Tiancheng named Ni. Like many others in Tiancheng, they were a family steeped in metaphysics. However, unlike the Shi and Wen families, the Ni family was not as fortunate. Their spiritual talents were not passed down, and they met an early end in a life known as "ordinariness."
Although the descendants of the Ni family still possessed spiritual power, they were no longer qualified to become spiritual masters. When they welcomed their third mediocre child, the then head of the family, Mr. Ni Xingwen, gave up and left Tiancheng with his family to live outside.
However, because of Mr. Ni Xingwen's contributions to the Spiritual Master House, the Spiritual Master House has always taken good care of the Ni family. After Mr. Ni Xingwen passed away, the Spiritual Master House was even more attentive to his family.
Before his death, Ni Xingwen predicted that his youngest son's child would be born at the end of August this year, which is very near. However, the hospital's due date is still nearly two months away. As a precaution, the Spiritual Master's House decided to send a spiritual master to carefully monitor the family and ensure that nothing goes wrong.
"Wrong calculation, right?"
Shi Chan held the folder and muttered,
"I haven't heard that Mr. Ni has any knowledge of divination."
