Chapter 482: Chapter 95: Meeting Chang’e_1

Having mounted the Dragon Hiding Cauldron, Black and White Impermanence pulled the large cauldron and ran wildly. Qin Shou finally saw some different people, those ghosts with every step they took, lotus flowers would surface beneath their feet, carrying them forward, and the farther they walked, the more spirited they became!

Qin Shou, driven by curiosity, asked, "What’s going on here?"

Black Impermanence immediately replied, "These are the souls of those who performed meritorious deeds in the mortal realm, their virtues protect them from the suffering on Three Lives Road. That’s why it’s better to be a good person in the world, and do more good deeds."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou scoffed disdainfully, "Bullshit! If you ask me, it’s better to be an Immortal, outside the realm of the five elements, indifferent to others’ life or death—none of my concern. You know what, you haven’t even started the trial, yet you put on this show. No wonder your business is getting worse."

Black and White Impermanence gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this, not knowing what to say.

"How long do they have to walk on this Road to the Netherworld?" Li Zhenying, still a girl at heart and kind, asked sympathetically.

White Impermanence replied, "Under normal circumstances, it takes six days and six nights to reach the end. On the seventh day, they can also go to Nostalgia Altar to take a look... Speaking of which, we’re approaching Nostalgia Altar right now."

"Nostalgia Altar? Is it that place that’s said to allow one to see through the barriers of the world and glimpse their loved ones?" Li Zhenying asked curiously.

White Impermanence nodded and said, "If you have someone in your heart, you may catch a glimpse. However, if it’s unrequited love, Nostalgia Altar won’t be of help. But if the person you are thinking of is also missing you day and night, you will be able to see them. Thus, you see many people climb the altar, but there are always one or two who see nothing. That is the result of having committed wrongdoings in life, dying with no one to remember them. Or, they are the ones who died alone, and like a snuffed-out lamp, have no one to think of them posthumously. The most tragic, however, are those foolish parents who spoiled their children without teaching them filial piety. After they die, if their ungrateful children don’t think of them, even if a mountain of joss paper is burned for them, it’s done by others, not from the heart of their progeny."

"So that’s how it is, but if they can’t see, can they at least receive the money? I saw some people giving ghost money to the ghosts," Li Zhenying said, pointing to a Ghost Messenger under Nostalgia Altar, who was holding a large bag, continuously pulling out money to give to the ghosts, albeit in varying amounts.

In the midst of the conversation, everyone turned their heads as Lady Diyong asked, "Where’s the rabbit?"

At the same time, discontented shouts erupted from the ghosts ahead.

"Hey, hey, hey... why is that rabbit cutting in line?!"

"Indeed!"

"No wonder it’s a rabbit, lacking manners!"

"This is infuriating, isn’t anyone going to do something about it?"

...

No matter how much the ghosts yelled, the rabbit had already hopped onto the stone platform, then stood still, took a deep breath, and thought, "Let me see Chang’e..."

While speaking, Qin Shou took a deep breath, his eyes wide with anticipation!

The next moment, mist began to rise from a large stone on Nostalgia Altar, slowly ascending and slowly forming a humanoid silhouette in the air—a woman with an exceptional figure!

Even such a silhouette silenced the previously noisy ghosts; anyone with common sense could tell that such a perfect figure, every inch a masterpiece from Heaven, must belong to an extraordinarily beautiful woman! Everyone wanted to see what this beauty looked like.

Yet, there are always exceptions. A man with an unusually large head muttered, "Are rabbits these days all so enchanting?"

As soon as these words were uttered, countless angry glares were thrown his way, prompting him to quickly shut up. Even so, he was still dragged to the back of the line by a displeased Ghost Soldier.

"Lord... I... you can’t do this!" The ghost instinctively wanted to curse, but realized this was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke and began to wail.

As a result, none of the ghosts around him were willing to help him.

The Ghost Soldier snorted and said, "Keep up the racket, and I’ll throw you to the end of the Road to the Netherworld."

Upon hearing this, the big-headed ghost was so frightened that he immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to make another sound.

Retaking the Road to the Netherworld? He’d rather die...

Meanwhile, Qin Shou didn’t notice the reactions of the people outside at all. Instead, he took a deep breath, concentrated, and stared at the patch of human-shaped mist, which then began to dissipate, revealing a clear silhouette within the mist.

At the same time, the scenery around him also started to become more distinct. Enveloped in the mist, Qin Shou seemed to suddenly stand amid the scenery, facing the woman eye-to-eye!

In that instant, Qin Shou’s eyes instantly turned even redder as tears uncontrollably surged forth...

The woman in front of him was the very Chang’e whom Qin Shou missed day and night.

At that moment, dressed in white, Chang’e stood at the entrance of the Moon Palace, her gaze hopefully lifted to the sky, her face laden with endless longing and a touch of fatigue.

Behind her, through the gates, Qin Shou could see that the interior of the Moon Palace was as clean as it had been when he left.

At that time, Chang’e sighed softly and murmured, "Yu’er, where are you?"

As soon as she spoke, her tears fell like pearls off a broken string, rolling down her cheeks.

Upon hearing her words, Qin Shou felt his heart being torn apart, and he wished he could immediately rush to the moon to be with Chang’e.

Thinking of how they were separated by the realms of heaven and earth, Qin Shou became even more frantic with urgency.

Chang’e then said, "Yu’er, you’ve been gone for three hundred seventy-four years and two hundred thirteen days now. When will you come back?"

At this time, a woman came over and said respectfully, "My lady, you’ve been standing here for three days and nights again. Please go back and rest."

Qin Shou did not recognize this woman, but by her looks, she seemed to be a resident of Fenghua City, although he didn’t understand why she would appear here.

Chang’e shook her head and said, "I will wait a little longer. Youfeng, go and tell Kunsha and the others not to worry about me. You don’t need to take care of me either. There are plenty of days tougher than this."

Youfeng replied, somewhat torn, "My lady, please don’t make it difficult for me. Over these three hundred years, everyone in Fenghua City eligible to come and look after you has already done so. I am the last. Kunsha, Yibing, and the others have said that if you don’t agree, they’ll have no choice but to shamelessly face the risk of I coming back to kill them and personally look after you. Men and women are different; they are truly embarrassed to come here... No one other than women can come within a hundred miles of the Moon Palace."

Chang’e was at a loss for words and then said helplessly, "Then I’ll trouble you, Youfeng."

Hearing this, Qin Shou felt warmth in his heart, and he grew increasingly pleased with his decision to bring Kunsha, Yibing, and the rest back to the Moon Palace.

Youfeng said joyfully, "It’s good that my lady doesn’t mind Youfeng’s clumsy hands and feet."

"Why are you wearing a hat?" Chang’e asked curiously.

Youfeng replied somewhat flustered, "It’s... it’s nothing..."
