Chapter 311: Chapter 310: Is the Three Lives Stone broken?

Cui Yu noticed Mianmian gazing at the Three-Life Stone, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, "Does Mianmian want to take a look?"

"Uh-huh, I want to see." Mianmian blinked adorably at Cui Yu, trying to coax him into agreeing.

Pleasure shone in Cui Yu’s eyes as he nodded, "Go ahead, it’s not anything rare."

Looking wouldn’t be a problem, but for someone who naturally had no past life or present life, it would be pointless.

Cui Yu’s gaze fell on Little Bun as he watched it toddle over to the Three-Life Stone. Little Bun was dressed in perfect harmony with their Underworld surroundings today, in a beautiful long dress with ribbons fluttering as she ran.

But... that shiny little bald head, when would it ever grow hair?

As Cui Yu thought, he walked behind Mianmian to inspect the stone.

Ding Song hesitated behind them.

He was curious about the "Three-Life Stone" too, but it always felt like a personal chat history from the Human Realm—extremely private. He knew he shouldn’t be lacking this sense of propriety.

As he thought, Ding Song stood in place without moving.

The "Three-Life Stone" had three characters written on it and indeed, it was a large brown stone. However, whenever a soul stood in front of it, it would light up and turn into a mirroring surface of water.

Mianmian stood in front of the "Three-Life Stone" with a smile of anticipated secrets on her face, but after a long while, the stone showed no reaction, and her bright and sparkling eyes quickly filled with confusion, "What’s wrong? Why isn’t the Three-Life Stone moving? Is it broken?"

While asking, she looked up at Cui Yu with a head full of question marks.

Cui Yu squatted down, smiling, "If Mianmian can’t see her past life, will you be very disappointed?"

Though he was smiling, his voice was serious.

Mianmian glanced at the motionless stone and then at the ghosts in the Wangchuan River, those unwilling to be reincarnated and would have to wait a thousand years to leave, and said in her tender voice, "I would be disappointed, yeah, but it’s okay. Even if I knew, it might not be a good thing."

Her words conveyed a clear understanding, and Cui Yu patted Mianmian’s bald head, "Well, there you have it. Hmm, in consideration of Mianmian’s disappointment today, let me show you Uncle Cui’s past and present."

When Cui Yu said he would show her, Mianmian made room for him without any hesitation.

After all, it was Uncle Cui who agreed!

Little Bun thought quietly: Uncle Cui agreed, so it doesn’t mean that Little Bun is naughty, right~

While thinking, he still said, using his own twist on a proverb, "Thank you, Uncle Cui, Mianmian has now ’washed her eyes and respectfully watched’!"

The Three-Life Stone was now changing; the original three red, retro characters had melted into each other, transforming into a watery mirror.

The mirror showed Cui Yu’s past life, from a child growing up to become a magistrate in a black gauze cap, with the scenes quickly flipping by like fast-forwarding.

Mianmian saw the images changing too rapidly and called out, "Pause, pause for a moment, it’s too fast~"

The scenes from the Three-Life Stone inherently moved rapidly. Only the actual soul could feel the corresponding events and emotions of each scene; others could not see them.

This was also to see through them quickly; otherwise, if they played one by one, second by second, reincarnations would never end.

It wasn’t meant to be a divine object for people’s entertainment, so how could it possibly pause like watching television?

Just as Cui Yu was about to propagate this knowledge to Mianmian, he saw that the scenes in the Three-Life Stone truly did pause, stopping at the moment he was judging a case in his official attire.

"Hm?" Cui Yu was astounded, a flicker of shock crossing his eyes.

Mianmian didn’t notice Cui Yu’s expression; she swiped her small hand to the left, "Mianmian wants to see what Uncle Cui looked like as a child~"

The scenes in the Three-Life Stone immediately rewound until they reached Cui Yu’s childhood, before playing forward again.

In ancient times, to make things convenient, poor families had their children start wearing open-crotch pants early on. Otherwise, who would have the time to constantly wash clothes?

Thus, Cui Yu, as a chubby baby, lay on the ground with his bottom in the air, playing, and Mianmian saw it all in great detail.

Cui Yu had just recovered from the shock of the Three-Life Stone’s compliance when he saw such a scene. His face lightly flushed, he lifted his sleeve to his mouth and coughed discreetly.

His skin was too pale, and when he blushed, it was especially noticeable.

Mianmian didn’t notice and was chuckling while looking at Cui Yu’s face in the scene, "Uncle Cui had so many chubby cheeks when he was little."

Before Cui Yu could reply, a hearty laugh came from behind him, "Hahaha, Old Cui was a chubby baby too! Mianmian didn’t expect that, did you?"

"Zhong Brother, that’s not right of you. When you were little, you were not only fat but also dark," said Wei Zheng, the ghost judge from the Evil-Punishing Division and Cui Yu’s good friend, dressed in green with a pleasantly plump figure and a smile that was utterly endearing.

Hearing the voices, Mianmian told the Three-Life Stone to "pause" before turning her head to see who it was. By the color of their official uniforms, she recognized Wei Zheng to her left and Lu Zhidao to her right.

Both were seeing Mianmian for the first time, staring at her with curiosity.

Seeing how exquisitely cute the child was, except for the lack of hair on her head, they exchanged glances, their faces filled with confusion.

Seeing the uncertain expression of the two uncles, Mianmian knew what they were thinking and proactively explained, "Wei Uncle, Lu Uncle, I don’t have hair because I broke the rules and was punished by the Heavenly Grandfather. Boom! A big thunderbolt struck down~"

As she spoke, she even spread her small hands to indicate how huge the thunderbolt was.

The two judges looked on, their eyes filled with amusement.

This child was indeed adorable; no wonder Zhong Kui, clearly drunk just before, drank down the Hangover Soup immediately after his subordinates reported that Su Mianmian had arrived, wanting to come over and find her.

As for the two of them, they had been drinking to pass the time during their day off because, after all, they couldn’t just wander into the Human Realm as they pleased. Seeing how unusually eager their friend was to sober up, they too had the Hangover Soup and followed along for the fun.

To their surprise, after arriving here, they saw Cui Yu using the Three-Life Stone’s scenes of his past and present lives to soothe a child.

They looked again at the scenes on the Three-Life Stone, both startled for a moment, "How did this Three-Life Stone come to a stop?"

Zhong Kui, who was in the midst of lifting Mianmian into his arms and tickling her face with his beard, turned to the Three-Life Stone when he heard his friends’ words.

Upon seeing it, he was just as astounded, "Good heavens, the scenes in the Three-Life Stone actually stopped?"

Noticing how shocked the three judges were, Mianmian too became incredulous, "Isn’t it supposed to stop?"

"Indeed, this thing is not supposed to stop," Zhong Kui’s voice still carried disbelief, but he nonetheless explained carefully to Mianmian, "If it could stop, then those guys probably wouldn’t want to jump off the Naihe Bridge and would rather stand in front of the Three-Life Stone forever."

Hearing that the Three-Life Stone should not stop, Mianmian looked around from one to another.

If the scenes were never meant to stop, but she had made them stop, could that be bad?

Had she done something wrong?

Little Bun’s anxious eyes were caught by Cui Yu, who said, "It’s alright, Mianmian, being able to make it stop is your talent. Not even the uncles have such ability."
