Rich woman appears in the dream
After seeing Heng Jin off, Cha Suxun took Yuan Li back to the Netherworld Palace. The furnishings inside the palace were exactly as they had been when she was there, especially the lotus lantern on the low cabinet beside his bed, which he had polished to a glossy shine.
The only difference was that there were two apricot-white mandarin duck pillows on his black bed.
Cha Suxun, who had poured tea for her, saw her eyes fixed on the mandarin duck pillow as soon as he entered the room.
After handing the tea to her, Cha Suxun turned his back and stealthily pulled up the quilt to cover the mandarin duck pillow.
Remembering that he had just been jealous, Yuanli wanted to tease him.
"Is Ah Cha covering this beautiful apricot-white mandarin duck pillow? Or is she covering up traces of another woman?"
"No, absolutely no, there is no other woman. I only have you, said A Lihun."
"There's no other woman. Who is the apricot-white mandarin duck pillow on the couch prepared for?"
Seeing his blushing cheeks, Yuanli became more excited. She hooked her index finger around his belt and pulled him closer with a gentle tug.
"Could it be that Ah Cha prepared this for me? You just returned from your ordeal, and this exquisite mandarin duck pillow must have been placed here before we signed our marriage contract, right?"
"Yeah. I was afraid you would laugh at me, so I covered it up."
"Laughing at you? Why should I laugh at you? If love can be laughed at, I have hidden a lot of jokes under your bed."
"Love is no joke. Speaking of that conch shell you hid under your bed, could you let me hear it?"
"Not now, um, haha, let's listen to it together after we get married."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. After we get married, we can listen to the echo of the conch shell together. Now, let's get down to business. Remember the soul trapped under the Kasi Temple? Bi Qi later told me to push two men from the tribe to take the blame. When I checked their memories, I saw that it was exactly as they said. They were acting according to the secret letter in the brocade box given to them by the old tribe leader Bi Feng before his death. There were ten secret letters in total, and each cover had a serial number. The Huangquan tribe has always been loyal to their master. Even if they knew it was wrong, they had to obey and be loyal to Bi Feng because he was the tribe leader. There was no trace of their memories being erased, and Bi Qi had no connection with this incident in their memories. But I think Bi Feng was taking the blame for someone else. At that time, he was innocent, and I can't go and explore his memory without a reason. I thought you might ask about this."
"You're so in tune with each other, you even guessed I'd ask this. Is that all you wanted to tell me?"
"And... everything Bi Ying accused me of was true, but my admiration for you wasn't just a rekindling of our past relationship. The quirky, kind, and sincere Yuanli also captivated and captivated me. I hope you don't misunderstand that I wanted to marry you in this life because of our past life connection. It was indeed because of that connection that I initially sought you out, but I never considered you a stand-in to continue our past relationship. You will always be you, an independent individual. Li Wan, Yuanli, another part of your soul, even Chili without Yuanli's memories—each of your incarnations holds a captivating charm for me. I used to struggle to untangle my complex feelings for you, but later I realized it was your soul that I'd always fallen in love with. No matter what you become, it seems I'll always be head over heels for you."
She wouldn't believe anyone who told her that she was Li Wan's reincarnation, except Cha Suxun. No matter what fairy tales he told her, she would choose to believe him unconditionally because they had been together day and night for tens of thousands of years.
"A-Cha, I want to know, why didn't you tell me that I am Li Wan's reincarnation?"
"I'm afraid you'll repeat the same mistakes, afraid you'll leave me, afraid you'll be haunted by the past, afraid you'll find out and be in danger if you find out, afraid you'll ask me how I managed to reincarnate you, who should have been shattered. In short, I have so many worries, concerns, fears and cowardices that I haven't been able to find the right time to tell you. I've always been too hesitant and cautious in love, always missing out, always just a little bit, then a little bit more, until I lost you, who I had already grasped. Now that I've changed, it's because I've completely lost you once. The fear of your imminent demise still lingers in my mind."
"Why are you afraid of me asking questions?"
"Because your past life is a thing of the past, it shouldn't bother you, who are free in this life. From what I know about you, if you had memories of your past life and knew what I did to allow you to reincarnate, you would definitely choose to be with me out of guilt and pity. Then you would never truly be able to put me on an equal footing and fall in love with me. I hope that if you are lucky enough to love me, it is based on the attraction between our souls."
Cha Suxun was very cautious and kept observing every subtle expression of Yuanli.
As the Lord of the Underworld, his heart was as still as a dead person's, not beating. He could imagine how nervous he was at that moment, and if he still had a living, beating heart, how frantic and violent his heartbeat would be.
Yuanli felt a little guilty.
Although she did not choose to be with him because she knew all this, she chose to marry him in order to repay his initial life-saving grace.
There was no need to explain, as it would only make him, who already lacked a sense of security and was facing a temporary separation, start to have wild thoughts again. Therefore, Yuanli chose to coax him.
"We have already made a marriage contract, our souls are in love, and we were already branded by the Nether Stone long before I lost the memory of my love for you. This worry will not happen."
Cha Suxun sat beside the couch, pulled her to sit across his lap, and tentatively put his arm around her waist.
"What I'm most worried about right now is that you're going to go through another emotional ordeal with him. Ah Li, I'm really scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid your heart will be bewitched by him again."
Cha Suxun wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and buried his head in the crook of her neck, so tightly that he seemed to want to rub her into his body and never separate.
"Ari, don't be bewitched by him. Always, forever... forever, only love me, okay?"
Yuanli held his drooping head, speaking through telepathy, apologetically, "Accompanying him through three lifetimes, making him fall in love with me in each, and then die from the pain of love, was the task assigned to me by the Heavenly Emperor. He made me sign a life-and-death contract, so when Heng Jin goes through his third lifetime, I must go. I'm your future wife, and I know this... is very wrong for you..."
"That old man dared to make you sign a life and death contract? How did he force you?"
Yuanli heard the strangeness in his tone and worried that he might be carried away by anger and do something stupid, so she quickly comforted him, "The Heavenly Monarch also promised me a generous reward and even said he would set me free. I volunteered at the time and no one forced or bullied me. Besides, I just wanted to build a temple for myself and accumulate incense. The reward the Heavenly Monarch gave me is enough for me to build luxurious temples all over the world. It's like a blessing in disguise."
"It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
"No, no, my Ah Cha is the best in the world."
Yuanli held his cheek, kissed the corner of his mouth, stared into his eyes, and repeated the words of praise she had just given him, slowing down her pace and speaking in a more determined tone.
"A-Cha, because of the life-and-death contract, I must go and complete my mission in the third life. Will you just wait for me at home? Don't let your imagination run wild. I promise that I will only be your wife in this life, until I die."
"good."
After comforting Cha Suxun and giving him as much sense of security as possible, she said goodbye to him and returned to heaven.
Jiuwei and the others were already waiting for her at the Star Lord's Mansion. She asked Xiaobai to go back and report safety and pass on the message, while she went to find Tianshu Star Lord and Yuexia Fairy.
Yuanli carefully selected and avoided the pros and cons, and told them some of Hengjin's known information, and discussed and laid the groundwork for the next plan together.
Right now, the top priority is to act according to the plan, with Yuanli using the red thread of the Moon Fairy to convey her feelings and enter Hengjin's dream.
Emperor Hengjin has already been born and cannot wait any longer.
With Tianshu's help in winning over the Star Lord Siming, they were able to find the reincarnation of Emperor Hengjin as quickly as possible.
This time, he completely lost the airs of Emperor Hengjin. He walked alone and lostly in the desert, holding a broken wooden stick.
He was covered in dirt, ragged clothes, and was wearing more than a pair of slippers. He looked like a homeless person. He stared pitifully at the dry naan in the hands of passers-by and swallowed his saliva. He looked extremely miserable.
Fortunately, it was so dirty that its face could not be seen clearly, otherwise, it would have been picked up.
At night, the vigilant Heng Jin curled up in a cave made of rocks in the desert, trying to resist the urge to fall asleep. She didn't even know when she fell asleep until she couldn't hold on any longer.
Yuanli took the opportunity to fall asleep.
The scenes in his dreams were all based on his subconscious desires and preferences. As soon as Yuanli entered, she transformed into a wealthy woman wearing a luxurious gauze dress, adorned with countless gold, silver, and jewelry, riding a camel, and leading a caravan.
The most speechless thing is that the camels in the caravan were only carrying food and wine, with only a small box of gold, silver and jewelry.
Without thinking, Yuanli could guess his wish.
Yuanli directed the caravan camels towards him who was huddled in the gap between the rocks, and handed him a pot of fine wine and a bag of beef jerky and naan.
"Sir, are you starving? Eat it, it's not poisonous."
He swallowed and waved his hands repeatedly.
"I'm not a bad person."
Yuanli ate some beef jerky and naan in front of him, took a sip of the wine, and handed it to him again.
"Look, it's not poisonous. Eat it."
Seeing this, he took it and started eating it voraciously.
"Go slowly. No one's going to steal it from you. My caravan brought a lot of dry food. You can eat as much as you want."
Yuanli squatted before him, watching him eat with a smile on her face. This dream was too plain and simple. As he ate his food and drank his wine, the dream seemed to have stopped. Only the food and wine in his hands were particularly dazzling, while she, the unwanted tool, was almost blurred.
"What's your name? I gave you a full meal when you were almost starving. If you're willing, I'm also willing to give you a full meal every day. But, you have to repay me, right?"
After these words were spoken, Yuanli became much clearer.
He was quite concerned about his image. When he noticed that she was staring at him, he ate in a much more elegant manner and did not forget to wipe the food residue from the corners of his mouth.
"I have nothing of my own, I wonder what the Bodhisattva wants in return?"
"You call me a female Bodhisattva?"
Yuanli was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing. She lifted his chin with her fingertips and said, "You have a beautiful face and it touches my heart. How about you pledge yourself to me?"
"I'm just a lowly beggar."
