Xiao Jiang took out a small notebook in front of him, and then conjured a pen out of thin air, turning to the page with his name on it, thus extending his life.
He was surprised that Xiao Jiang could conjure a notebook and pen out of thin air, but he didn't take her talk of extending his life seriously.
He believed that there were ways to prolong life, but that to gain something, you had to give something in return.
If the method to prolong life could truly be accomplished simply by writing and drawing on a notebook, then countless people in the world could live forever.
But he was happy to be friends with Jiang Yuan.
Although he is young and a little kid, he is interesting.
What he likes most is interesting things and people.
until--
He only believed what she said was true when he saw a group of underworld officials and messengers appear, kneeling respectfully before Xiao Jiangyuan and calling her "Your Excellency".
She is the King of Hell.
Yama, the King of Hell, who controls life and death in the human world.
She did just as he wished, giving him the lifespan a normal person should have, allowing him to survive until now.
They had only met once and spent only a few hours together, but that one meeting made them remember each other forever.
He was always grateful to Jiang Yuan for giving him this life, allowing him to display his abilities and fulfill his ideals and ambitions.
He always thought he would never see the other person again, and he always thought that the Jiang Yuan that others praised was just someone who shared the same name as the King of Hell.
Unexpectedly, he was able to see her again before he died.
Okay, that's great.
Even on his deathbed, he had friends by his side.
He is considered fortunate.
He still remembers...
Do you remember that Xiao Jiang was willing to go back with the underworld officials?
Before leaving, she leaned close to his ear and said, "This is their secret. Don't tell a third person."
To this day, he has not told this secret to anyone.
This is a secret between him and Jiang Yuan.
"You were only thinking of Jiang Yichen, but you were tricked by him and deceived by him. What's wrong with that?"
"Even if you made a mistake, it was a minor one. You have done many good deeds in your life, so you should die peacefully in your old age and be reborn into a good family."
Jiang Yuan shook her head, then patiently answered.
Any one of the things he did is comparable to the minor mistakes he made.
“After I went back last time, I was scolded by the judge and punished by him to face the wall in contemplation.”
"Grandpa Judge said that if Heaven discovers that someone is giving their own life to another to change the lifespan of an ordinary person, it will bring divine punishment. This is not allowed in the future."
“Since then, I have never given anyone special treatment, and there is no such thing as giving you special treatment now.”
"It is the good deeds you have done that have determined that you will not go to the eighteenth level of hell but will be reincarnated."
Jiang Yuan said calmly.
She understood Ye Shanhe's personality quite well. If she didn't explain it clearly, he would think he deserved to go to the deepest hell, but because he knew her, she had given him special treatment.
But that's not the case. She didn't want him to carry the thought that he deserved to be reincarnated into the eighteenth level of hell.
She wanted him to reincarnate with a clear conscience, in the next life...
Be an ordinary person.
Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?
Even as the King of Hell, she made mistakes.
For example, he often listened to stories told by underworld officials who had returned from the mortal world. After listening to them so many times, he began to immerse himself in the stories and felt that he should be a chivalrous person.
This leads her to always be eager to help others when she comes to the mortal world.
Seeing that this person was unlucky, they blessed them.
If someone is suffering, they will offer them some guidance or help them.
Seeing that he had dragged his weakened body out to exorcise the demon for the sake of the villagers, she lent him a little bit of her own life, giving him a few more years of life.
To be honest, the life she lent Ye Shanhe wasn't much to her.
Sixty or seventy years in the human world is just a blink of an eye for her.
However, it is against the laws of nature to borrow one's life.
After reflecting on her actions, she stopped lending any part of her life to others.
Borrowing too much life force can actually cause chaos in the present world.
However, she did not regret lending her life to Ye Shanhe.
Even if she were to be punished by the heavens, she would not regret it.
Although he spent a long time abroad, he was always searching for treasures in China, bidding on them at any cost, and then transporting them back to China to hand them over to the emperor.
What he has been doing all these years is unknown to others, but she knows it.
Photograph the treasure and help it return home safely to a museum in China.
This alone will cost a lot of money, energy and time.
She knew all about his sense of righteousness.
Everything she did seemed to be for the other person's good, but in the end, not everything went as she expected.
She had examined the unlucky man's fate using her fortune-telling method. He was a kind and honest person, but he was constantly plagued by bad luck and was bullied by people from his village.
So she blessed him, and from then on, his bad luck changed, he became lucky, and it brought him wealth.
What happens next?
His simplicity vanished, and he became the kind of person he hated, turning into a bully who harassed others.
The dragon slayer eventually became the dragon himself.
Her intention in bestowing the blessing was to make him better, but she never expected that people's hearts were so unpredictable.
Did she make a mistake?
There is a little, but not much wrong.
She only meant well by helping him, but she never expected that he wouldn't stay true to himself.
Later, she withdrew the blessing.
When that person's luck dissipated, he returned to being the same impoverished and destitute man he once was.
Having grown accustomed to a life of luxury, indulging in delicacies and acting as a bully, his first reaction upon suddenly losing everything was not to reflect on himself, but to curse God.
Later, as she grew older and saw and heard more, she blessed or interfered in other people's affairs less often, and she began to learn to respect the fate of others.
The most I do help people with is offer a few pointers, like during a live stream; I don't intervene unless absolutely necessary.
If the other party is willing to listen, they can avoid a disaster.
But if the other party is unwilling, then she can only respect their choice.
Even with her "fate chart eyes," she sometimes misjudges people; how much more so Ye Shanhe, who doesn't have such eyes.
Ye Shanhe helped Jiang Yichen in the same way.
He had planned everything meticulously, but he hadn't anticipated how easily people's hearts could change.
"It's good that they didn't use connections. If they had, I would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life," Ye Shanhe said.
"At the time... I just felt that the child resembled me when I was young, so I unintentionally mentioned the matter of changing fates to him."
“I thought he was a child of about ten years old, innocent and naive. Even if I told him about the method to change one’s fate, he wouldn’t be able to do it.”
Ye Shanhe looked up at the ceiling and spoke slowly, his words filled with regret.
Perhaps it was Jiang Yuan's arrival, or perhaps it was his last moment, but he spoke as if nothing was wrong, unlike Xia Yeming's strained speech.
"I didn't expect him to do it," Ye Shanhe continued, and Jiang Yuan listened quietly like a listener.
When she saw Ye Shanhe, she saw his past and future, including the process of how he met and got to know Jiang Yichen.
