A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 771 - 709
If King Qin Guang and the others, who were currently suffering headaches managing the Underworld, knew what this group was thinking, they would probably scoff!
A measly thread of marital fate, compared to the entire Underworldโs cycle of reincarnation? Thatโs a trivial matter, as small as a sesame seed. Celestial Punishment for that? Utter nonsense! ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
"Have the ones we sent to the Tianling Continent returned yet? What in the world is going on with those people who carry great karma? Has it been thoroughly investigated?"
King Qin Guang sat on his lofty throne of white bones, his brow deeply furrowed as he held the Book of Life and Death and the Merit Ledger, questioning the Judge of Life and Death.
"Your Majesty, they have not yet returned, but they have transmitted some information back. Please, take a look!"
The Judge of Life and Death raised his hand, and a Jade Token flew towards King Qin Guang. He infused a trace of soul power into it, and all the information within flowed into his mind.
Interesting. For 2,800 years, no cultivator souls have returned to the Underworld from the Tianling Continent. And this Tianling Continent even has the Four Directions Dragon Seal sealing its Celestial Dao.
The Judge of Life and Death kept his head bowed low. For a minor worldโs Celestial Dao to be sealed, they, the administrators of the Underworld, were absolutely derelict in their duty.
If word of this reached the Celestial Court, they would be struck by Thunder Punishment!
"Go to the Tianling Continent yourself and investigate. Find out who possesses such heaven-defying ability to have sealed and shielded the Celestial Dao of this minor world.
Also, determine why it was shielded, and who is now altering the destinies of these souls who died wrongful deaths."
The Judge of Life and Death quickly cupped his hands. "This subordinate obeys! However, Your Majesty, the former matters are easy enough to investigate, but as for the one changing the destinies of these souls who died wrongful deaths, I fear..."
"To change the afterlife of these souls, one would undoubtedly need great merit and extraordinary Cultivation. The Tianling Continent is a minor world with its Celestial Dao shielded, so outstanding cultivators must be rare. Investigate along these lines.
Altering the future destinies of so many people would surely exhaust all their merit. This person either doesnโt have long to live or has suffered the Celestial Daoโs punishment; there will surely be something amiss about them!"
Hearing King Qin Guangโs words, the Judge of Life and Death now had a clearer idea of how to proceed.
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."
The Judge of Life and Death took his leave and departed.
King Qin Guang suddenly walked out of the Great Hall, gazed up at the sky, and murmured, Among the three thousand worlds, great and small, not one can ultimately escape your notice!
You act for others, for all living beings under heaven, but when will you ever act for yourself?
That cage! You exit only to re-enter, re-enter only to exit again!
This incident in the Tianling Continent... could it be that youโve emerged once more?
Muttering to himself, King Qin Guang suddenly gave a low chuckle. He reached out, made a grasping motion towards his own heart, and in an instant, half a heart materialized in his hand.
I cannot leave this place, but this half of my heart will suffice. Let this half of my heart go in my stead, to accompany you, to walk with you through this Human World for a time!
The moment his words fell, the half-heart in his hand transformed into a young man appearing to be around twenty years of age, dressed in a moon-white robe and holding a book of jade slips.
King Qin Guangโs already pale face grew even more pallid. He instructed the young man before him in a low voice, "Raise your head!"
The young man looked up, allowing King Qin Guang to scrutinize him.
King Qin Guang gave a low chuckle and shook his head. "You, too, know she adores beauty, so the form youโve manifested is also one of unparalleled beauty in the world!
Go! I will exert all my power to forge a path between the realms of Yin and Yang for you, sending you to a place connected to the Tianling Continent. As for when you two shall meet, that will depend on the will of heaven!"
...
Xiaosuisuiโs clothes were soaked with sweat, and Princess Ata had changed them for her one after another.
In a single day, Princess Ata had already helped wash her clothes three times!
Xie PanโEr had still been upset about the change in Ji Youzhiโs marital fate. Despite the Emperor consoling her for a long time, her spirits hadnโt lifted in the slightest.
Later, upon hearing about Xiaosuisuiโs strange condition, her composure completely shattered. Never mind feeling sad and distressed; even though they were clearly in a Daoist Temple, she fervently prayed to all the deities, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas she could think of, murmuring her pleas to every single one she knew.
Fortunately, when it got dark and was time for dinner, Xiaosuisui woke up again. She ate when it was time to eat and played when it was time to play, and even deliberately paraded around twice in front of Li Yanyan, who was confined to her bed.
This infuriated Li Yanyan to no end.
Grinding her teeth, Li Yanyan said fiercely, "Donโt you dare be smug! When my bottom is healed, Iโll definitely spank yours until itโs raw!"
Suisui heard this and scoffed. "You canโt beat me now. Even if I stood still, I doubt you could even touch the hem of my clothes!"
Li Yanyan was so angry she started wailing.
"You jinx! Stop being so smug! Believe it or not, Iโll get my Master to beat you up to avenge me!"
Hearing this, Xiaosuisui laughed even harder. "Besides calling for your Master, canโt you call anyone else?
How pathetic! When you were little, you only knew how to call for Grandma and Second Aunt to beat me up for you.
Now youโre five years old and still havenโt learned to do it yourself; youโre asking the National Master to beat me for you.
Think about it. Although youโre the National Masterโs Disciple, youโve only been under his tutelage for a few days. If you ask him to beat me, do you think heโll just do it?"
Xiaosuisuiโs words left Li Yanyan stunned and speechless; she was completely dumbfounded.
Especially the National Master, who had one foot inside and one foot outside the room. He silently took a deep breath. The master-disciple affinity... missed!
So, he silently withdrew his foot again and walked away.
During dinner, everyone was very quiet.
Dugu was a rough and straightforward fellow; he didnโt notice the unusual atmosphere at the dinner table. He couldnโt help but rub his hands together and say,
"This winter has come too early! Itโs not even November yet, and I already feel like itโs freezing."
The National Master silently put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "This place is near the sea, so the weather naturally canโt compare to the South."
Dugu said with a laugh, "When we set out, the weather was still quite good, so everyone dressed in lighter clothing. Who would have thought weโd be out for this long? Now no one has winter clothes. This is quite a troublesome matter. Your Majesty, about this..."
