Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Summoning the Netherworld Messenger
“What, impossible!” Chen Wanwan instinctively objected, “He was successful, celebrated his wedding night; he was on top of the world. How could he possibly be dead?”
“Indeed, he is dead,” Zhong Niangyao continued speaking, “I definitely did not miscalculate, and moreover, he did not die a natural death, but committed suicide.”
“What?”
After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Chen Wanwan immediately became confused, “How is that possible? Why would he commit suicide? He had just achieved so much, and at the most glorious moment of his life, why would he take his own life?”
“Furthermore,” Zhong Niangyao looked up, glanced at Ou Xuanhan, “Ou Xuanhan is definitely not the reincarnation of Li Xuan, you’ve found the wrong person.”
Originally, when Ou Liyan and Zhao Yazi saw the look that Zhong Niangyao gave to Ou Xuanhan, their hearts couldn’t help but hang in the balance. Only when Zhong Niangyao’s words were spoken did their suspended hearts finally settle down.
“It’s impossible.” Chen Wanwan instinctively objected, “They look exactly the same.”
“Even if they are identical, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are reincarnations!” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “Because Li Xuan has not reincarnated to this day.”
“What?” Chen Wanwan could hardly believe her ears, “He has not reincarnated? Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible. How could he not have reincarnated?”
Chen Wanwan seemed particularly lost, appearing distraught. Because everything Zhong Niangyao had said today was almost completely different from her memory. She didn’t know whether she should believe the other person or not. She was even more unsure whether Zhong Niangyao was lying to her deliberately to break her marriage destiny with Ou Xuanhan.
“If you don’t believe it, we can invite a Netherworld Messenger to ask,” Zhong Niangyao said directly, “I’ll invite the Netherworld Messenger right now, and you can ask for yourself.”@@novelbin@@
Ordinary Heavenly Masters cannot summon a Netherworld Messenger, not even her Master from her previous life in Lai Country. But for some reason, she could. According to her Master, within the school of the Ghost Valley Master, only their patriarch had managed to accomplish this.
For this reason, her Master had always said her talent was very high. It’s just a pity that in her previous life, she died early in an effort to save the people of Lai Country. Otherwise, her achievements would have been much higher.
“Ten directions of the world, above and below the void, omnipresent, wherever there is emptiness, your presence shall manifest; with respect, I request the presence of Lord of Hell.”
As she chanted the spell, Zhong Niangyao’s hands swiftly formed seals.
Instantly, the temperature in the room plummeted, a mist appeared, and then a shadow in black clothing, wearing a “World Peace” hat emerged in front of everyone.
Even if the Ou Family members had little experience, they knew that this was the legendary Black Impermanence. Their respect for Zhong Niangyao grew even more; to be able to invite a Netherworld Messenger showed just how formidable her power was. To this day, they had not heard of any Heavenly Master who could do such a thing.
At the moment Black Impermanence appeared, Chen Wanwan couldn’t help but drift towards the corner, her ghostly figure fading somewhat, fear evident in her eyes.
Facing the Netherworld Messenger, this was the subconscious reaction of every ghost.
“Lord Hei, long time no see!” Zhong Niangyao greeted him familiarly, “How have you been lately?”
“Quite good.”
Even seeing a completely different Zhong Niangyao than before didn’t change Black Impermanence’s tone; his voice was still chilling, “Lady Zhong, what brings you to summon me this time? Is it to take this Little Ghost away?”
While speaking, his gaze had already fallen on Chen Wanwan.
Chen Wanwan, practically hiding in the corner, bumped into Black Impermanence’s gaze, and couldn’t help feeling scared. Her body involuntarily shrank, trying to minimize her presence.
“No, it’s just that I had some questions for Lord Hei,” Zhong Niangyao spoke very comfortably, “This female ghost is called Chen Wanwan; she died of depression after being abandoned by her fiancé, with whom she had a private lifelong commitment. However, I calculated that her fiancé has not yet reincarnated. So I wanted to ask, hoping Lord Hei could facilitate.”
“A trivial matter.”
Quickly, Black Impermanence took out a book, flipping through it then spoken, “Indeed, this Li Xuan has not yet reincarnated. For centuries, he has been wandering near Naihe Bridge, waiting for his lover Chen Wanwan.”
“What?” Chen Wanwan immediately drifted over, “You’re saying Li Xuan has not reincarnated and has been waiting for me all this time, is that right?”
She had never expected such an outcome, but—
“That’s not possible, it cannot be. He was clearly about to marry the Princess, he had already abandoned me, how could he still be waiting for me?”
Zhong Niangyao looked at the devastated Chen Wanwan and directly asked, “Lord Hei, if it’s possible, could you recount the details of the events so she can understand what happened?”
Everything that happens in a person’s life is recorded in the Book of Life and Death, which is also the basis for reincarnation in the next life. Those who perform good deeds can be born into a good life, while those who do evil are sent down to the Eighteen Layers of Hell for punishment and may even end up on the Beast Path.
It serves as a warning to everyone that goodness and evil will eventually be repaid; deeds are watched over by the heavens, and the reckoning comes when the time is right. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions.
However, the information on the Book of Life and Death is not accessible to everyone. So she also wasn’t sure if Black Impermanence was willing to share.
Faced with Zhong Niangyao’s request, Black Impermanence did not conceal anything and directly shared the details.
As it turned out, after Li Xuan had found success, he indeed caught the Princess’s eye. However, he did not break the promise he made with Chen Wanwan; he spoke openly about his existing engagement and turned down the Princess.
While the Princess felt angry, she also admired Li Xuan’s integrity and therefore did not take out her anger on him.
However, when Li Xuan returned home in glory after his success, what he found out was that Chen Wanwan had already passed away. Overwhelmed with grief, he soon committed suicide.
Yet, once he descended to hell and learned that Chen Wanwan’s soul had not reincarnated, he persisted near Naihe Bridge, hoping to reunite with Chen Wanwan and continue their previous connection.
After hearing Black Impermanence’s narration, Chen Wanwan was already in tears. She never expected that a simple misunderstanding would cause two people so in love to be separated for so many years.
