The Wife of a Ghost - C301
My father’s hand fell to my head because of my violent movements, hanging at my side as if he were sleeping with no place to place it.
However, the pupils of those opened eyes had already faded away.
Dad didn’t even give me a chance to save him. The last thing he said before he died was to make Mom wait for him.
It shouldn’t be like this. That’s not what I expected.
My father was in such good health that when I came home last year, he was able to carry the log around the door and tell me if he wanted a pure wooden bed.
Yes, I remember the teacher said that there was a latent heart attack, so I usually didn’t show it. I know that the death time of the heart palsy was very short, but it shouldn’t have happened to my father.
He was still fine when he spoke to me.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Hysterical.
Why did it turn out like this? During the morning and night, my mother was my father again, and the two most important people in the world were all dead! Why are you doing this to me!
Is it because God can’t have feelings or my six impure, that punishes me, why let my parents short life?
I haven’t given them a proper present yet, and I haven’t given them a good day yet.
Is it just because I can’t be with Zishan Ming!?
Shen Tuo and Duan Heng heard my voice and rushed in. When they saw me crying while holding my father’s corpse, they immediately came over and wanted to help me carry the corpse out. However, I hugged the body too tightly.
I looked at Shen Ta, then looked at Duan Heng. In my heart, I hoped to see a trace of astonishment in these two’s eyes. I hoped to see them treat me like a lunatic and tell me that your father fainted.
However, there was only a layer of helplessness in their eyes.
“Yan Nuo,” Shen Tuo lit up a cigarette, his expression unclear amidst the smoke, “I know you are very sad right now, but I still need to know something from you. Life is greater than the heavens.”
What the hell? A life is greater than the sky? I don’t know anything about this situation! Don’t ask me! Don’t tell me you’re talking about a life!
I am no longer human, I don’t even have a single thought in the mortal world, what are you trying to understand from me? Let me tell you again what I know, what I’ve seen? A vivid description of my mother and father’s death?
Let me tell you how desperate my mother was when she died. That she was used to kill someone, and then her whole body collapsed? Or was my father so upset when he found out about my mother’s death, touching my hair over and over to tell me about him and my mother when they were young, that even when he died he would ask me if I blamed him!
I pushed Shen Tuo away and staggered a little. Duan Heng supported me, “You’re too weak now. You should rest for a bit.”
I shot him a glance and knew he was being kind, but I didn’t want to rest yet. I wanted to go to the underworld, I wanted to go to the Unholy River, I wanted to find my parents’ souls before they crossed the river.
Maybe the Black and White Impermanence already went to look for someone, but I didn’t want to miss this process.
I still have time to travel to the Netherworld seven days after my death.
He tore open the door of yin and yang, went around the Great Nether King Hall and headed straight for the Unholy River.
I was in a hurry, so I pushed my strength to the limit and unavoidably alarmed Zishan Ming.
When he arrived at the bank of the Unholy River, Zishan Ming caught up to him.
He didn’t bring any attendants, but stood beside me in casual clothes.
On the banks of the Unholy River, there were three thousand ghosts that were still alive every day. The seventy-two Ghost Envoys were responsible for maintaining order beside the Bridge of Helplessness.
The ghosts passed by the watchtower and saw their family members still living in the mortal world. They were either smiling or crying. Their shapes were all different, but they were all filled with the same longing.
Some people were bewitched by the Viewing Platform, thinking that they could return to the mortal world if they jumped down. However, the truth was that once this person filled in the tower, his soul would vanish and he would no longer be able to be reborn.
In order to prevent ghosts from jumping off the watchtower, as soon as they saw someone who had the intention to walk forward, they would immediately whip that ghost back. The whip of the Thorn Rampart would slam into his body and turn him into a bloody mess.
I also forgot how many people I saw who wanted to jump, and how many of them were whipped and lay on the ground wailing in agony.
All I know is that my parents never came.
The seven days in the mortal world were no more than a quarter of an hour in the mortal world, but why had they not come yet?
The Black and White Impermanence had yet to report to him on the situation at the banks of the Unholy River.
After waiting for nearly an hour, I couldn’t wait any longer. I followed the team of 3000 people all the way to the far end of the Unholy River.
They won’t accept anyone related to the god race, so my parents won’t go there. And this is the only road to the Unholy River, they won’t go the wrong way.
Why isn’t she here? Why isn’t she here?!
I turned the whole team upside down, but I still couldn’t see them. I panicked a little and grabbed Zi Sang’s arm like a grudge and shouted: “Where did they go? Why is it not here, and how your subordinates manage the Underworld! ”
When the three Messengers heard me call out, they probably thought that something had happened and wanted to come over to help, but I was too angry to find my parents’ souls. It seems that every Messenger here is a sinner who lost his soul. Before they could get close to me, I formed a hand seal with one hand and three bolts of heavenly lightning split the three Demon Envoys into dust.
The entire banks of the Unholy River instantly quietened down. Countless pairs of eyes looked at me in unison, as though they were looking at an existence more terrifying than the Unholy Ghost. They all trembled like a sieve.
Zishan Ming raised his hand and locked me in an enchantment as he coldly said, “Calm down now. The Black and White Impermanence and their souls must have disappeared together because they encountered some danger. Let’s continue searching.”
With that, he and I continued on our way to the world of the living.
“Yan Nuo,” Zi Sang Ming said to me as he flew with me, “You must control your emotions right now. Rakshasi was once the god race’s war god. If you lose control of him, it will be a disaster for the Six Realms.”
Zi Sang Ming rarely restrained me. Now that he said this to me in such a serious manner, I already knew what would happen if I lost control of myself. However, it was really hard to calm me down.
I tightly held onto the edge of the barrier as I tried to get closer to Zishan Ming. I also wanted to see the soul that was following me down the path to hell.
I coughed for a long time before I finally said a word. With a strong nasal voice, I said, “Zi Sang Ming, I feel that I’ve let them down. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have suffered like they did today. They can be a couple who end up old because of me, it’s all my fault.”
Bang!
Before I could finish my sentence, there was a loud sound from the ground, and a crack appeared on the ground. Following which, a black figure drilled out from the crack and flew straight towards us.
Only after Zishan Ming activated his protection did he see clearly that the person that flew out was none other than Black Impermanence. However, his face was now covered in blood, and his entire right arm had disappeared from his shoulder. He did not seem like his usual self at all.
Didn’t he go to look for my parents’ souls? How could he be injured? Where’s White Impermanence? Where are my parents’ souls?
I became anxious and poured out all of my doubts. However, Black Impermanence no longer had any strength to fly up to us. Being able to barely bow to us was already his limit, he was completely unable to say anything.
We landed near the rift. Zi Sang Ming gave Black Impermanence a red pill, and after recovering for a long time, he finally coughed out a mouthful of blood and recovered a bit.
Black Impermanence looked at Sang Ming and said shakily, “Your Highness, your subordinate wasn’t good enough, please punish me.”
When he said that, my heart skipped a beat. I grabbed his left hand and asked anxiously, “What do you mean, they’re weak? Where are my parents? Where did they go?!”
Black Impermanence was shaken to the point that he almost fainted. Zi Sang Ming quickly hugged me and let Black Impermanence finish speaking.
He said, “This subordinate was going to follow the souls of the Empress’s parents and bring them back to the Great Nether King Hall after entering the Underworld. However, just as the souls passed through the Yin-Yang Gate, Your Highness Yu suddenly appeared and said that she wanted to take them away.”
When I heard this, my body stiffened a little. In the middle of it all, how they negotiated with Zi Sang Yu, how they interacted with Sang Yu over the failure of the blanket, and how they controlled the process, it didn’t have any value to me anymore. All I knew was that my parents were in Sang Yu and Zi Sang Yan’s hands.
I don’t understand why Zi Sang Huo has to do everything he can to make a move beside me. My friends, family, he has to control every single one of them, he wants the Ghost Seal, doesn’t he want the position of Pluto? Then, he can just look for me and Zi Sang Ming.
The dark clouds instantly covered the previously clear sky of the Underworld. The bloody sun seemed to be trembling as it hid in the clouds. He asked the Black Impermanence, “Where are they now?”
Black Impermanence shuddered, then said, “In the valley that I just came out of, White Impermanence risked her life to send me out to report. Please save him, Your Highness.”
Zi Sang Ming let out a cold snort, “Zi Sang Hua has repeatedly violated the rules of the Underworld, so his punishment shall be death.”
Was it too lenient to just kill him? I did enough “soft persimmon” for him to pinch again and again. This time, I won’t.
As I followed behind Zishan Ming, the expression on my face didn’t change much. I looked even calmer than before, but my heart was completely different.
It was he who had single-handedly caused this matter to come to an end. Without him, maybe my mother would never forgive me for being with my son, Sang Ming. Maybe I would never be able to go back to the Yan family, and even if my parents wouldn’t recognize me once they reached the underworld after a hundred years, they would still be alive.
Now, it’s all gone, I have nothing and he still wants to fight with me for my parents’ souls …]
