Chapter 149: Chapter 148: Blood Recognition

"Master, I didn’t expect you to deceive me over and over again. I hate you..."

Niuniu cried and screamed with a heart-wrenching plea.

"Niuniu, your master didn’t want to deceive you. He did all this for the sake of the world," Meng Xiaopo said, holding Niuniu’s hand to comfort her. "Don’t blame him anymore."

"Woo~"

"Sister, Master is gone. What will Niuniu do in the future?"

Niuniu threw herself into Meng Xiaopo’s arms, crying loudly.

"Niuniu, I will take care of you from now on," Meng Xiaopo said, gently patting Niuniu’s back.

"No, Niuniu just wants Master..."

Niuniu pushed Meng Xiaopo away.

"Woo woo~"

"Sigh..."

Meng Xiaopo sighed deeply and thought, "Who would have expected that someone who once swore to never see Brother Rufeng again in this life would not only become his disciple but also seem unable to leave him. Fate truly toys with us..."

The Eight Ghosts approached Niuniu. Old Yan, their leader, consoled her, "Niuniu, stop crying. Let’s go back."

Niuniu sobbed intermittently, "I won’t go back. Niuniu wants to stay here with Master."

Meng Xiaopo came to Niuniu’s side, gently stroking her forehead, "Niuniu, be good. Your master is gone. Go back with them."

Niuniu became headstrong and sat next to the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

"Master exhausted his Divine Soul to activate the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. Niuniu won’t go back. Niuniu will stay here by the Reincarnation Disk."

Meng Xiaopo shook her head and sighed, "Niuniu, do you know that staying here long-term won’t do you any good?"

"Why not?"

"Humans and ghosts are different. The Six Paths Reincarnation Disk will automatically absorb human Essence Blood. Over time, one’s Divine Soul will be destroyed."

Meng Xiaopo said this to deliberately deceive Niuniu, fearing that she might jump into the Reincarnation Disk in her despair.

"If I become a ghost, can I stay here forever?"

Niuniu stopped crying, leaping towards the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

Startled, Meng Xiaopo shouted, "Niuniu, what are you doing?"

She performed a Magic Spell, and a beam of light instantly enveloped Niuniu.

"That was close."

Meng Xiaopo, still shaking from the scare, used the beam to pull Niuniu back from above the Reincarnation Disk.

"Sister, why did you save me?" Niuniu cried again.

"Niuniu, do you know the consequences of what you did?" Meng Xiaopo reprimanded harshly.

"I don’t care about the consequences. I just want to stay by Master’s side forever," Niuniu sobbed.

"Sigh..."

Meng Xiaopo sighed, "Niuniu, you’re so foolish. Your master is no longer here, only the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk."

"Master died because of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. Now this Disk is my master," Niuniu asserted confidently.

"Can you really not live without your master?" Meng Xiaopo asked.

Niuniu nodded.

Meng Xiaopo released the restriction on Niuniu and said softly, "Niuniu, if I tell you everything about your previous life, perhaps you wouldn’t think this way..."

"My previous life?"

Niuniu suddenly stopped crying, "Sister, the Three-Life Stone never showed my previous life. How do you know my past?"

"Niuniu, I sealed all the information about your past life. How could the Three-Life Stone show it?" Meng Xiaopo explained.

"Then who was I in my past life?" Niuniu pressed.

"You are still young now. When you grow up, I will naturally tell you," Meng Xiaopo said.

Even though Meng Xiaopo didn’t elaborate, Niuniu had a good guess.

"Sister, does it have something to do with Master?"

Meng Xiaopo didn’t answer directly, and Niuniu didn’t press further. She knew that if Meng Xiaopo wasn’t willing to speak, she wouldn’t learn what had happened between her and Yan Rufeng in their previous lives...

In the end, Meng Xiaopo used hypnotism on Niuniu, and the Eight Ghosts carried the sleeping Niuniu out of the underworld. As they reached the Ghost Gate, they found the passage already closed...

Upon learning this, Meng Xiaopo urgently released her Divine Sense to investigate, but even after searching through the eighteen levels of hell, she found no reason. She had no choice but to leave Niuniu and the Eight Ghosts in the underworld...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Deep underground in Pingdu Mountain, a violent cough came from a ten-meter square pitch-black space.

"Cough cough cough..."

The person was none other than Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng was there because of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk.

The moment Yan Rufeng’s Essence Blood dripped on the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, he became its master.

Unexpectedly, the Reincarnation Disk, which had already developed its own consciousness, folded the underworld space and brought the entire underworld into Yan Rufeng’s Purple Mansion. Naturally, Yan Rufeng’s body then left the underworld.

Yan Rufeng tried to release his Divine Sense, and as he had guessed, he had indeed left the underworld.

After monitoring his Purple Mansion, Yan Rufeng let out a sigh of relief, "Damn Six Paths Reincarnation Disk. Becoming your master almost drained all my Essence Blood. This is the first time I’ve encountered such an extraordinary artifact. No wonder Sister Meng didn’t want me to activate it..."

...

With a thought, Yan Rufeng’s Divine Soul appeared beside Meng Xiaopo.

"Sister Meng!"

"Rufeng?"

Meng Xiaopo was astonished, "You didn’t die?"

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "How could I bear to die before attending your wedding?"

"You rotten scoundrel,"

Meng Xiaopo said, pretending to be angry, "Brother Rufeng, can’t you be serious for once?"

"Hee hee..."

Yan Rufeng chuckled mischievously and then asked, "Sister Meng, where’s Niuniu?"

"Your little sweetheart went crazy after hearing you died. I just had to hypnotize her," Meng Xiaopo replied irritably.

Yan Rufeng said sternly, "Sister Meng, that’s not right. How could you tell her I was dead?"

"But..."

"Who knew you had such a tough life!" Meng Xiaopo said helplessly.

"Sister Meng, hurry and wake Niuniu up!" Yan Rufeng urged.

Niuniu slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Yan Rufeng, she sat up abruptly.

"Master, is it really you?"

"Niuniu, it’s me."

"Wah, wah, wah~"

Niuniu threw herself into Yan Rufeng’s arms, crying loudly.

"Master, Niuniu thought she’d never see you again. Why didn’t you come to see me sooner?"

Yan Rufeng consoled, "Niuniu, don’t cry. Master was just having a very, very long dream, so I couldn’t come to you sooner."

"A dream?"

Niuniu suddenly laughed.

"Ha..."

"Master, you big lazy pig, sleeping for half a month and making me worry for nothing. Master is so bad..."

Of course, Meng Xiaopo knew that the dream Yan Rufeng spoke of didn’t exist. She understood that the reason for his late arrival was likely due to excessive blood loss, causing him to be in a coma for half a month. However, why Yan Rufeng appeared here in his Divine Soul Body form, Meng Xiaopo couldn’t fathom.
