Chapter 686: Stay Out of Fairy Matters (45)
After driving away the Heavenly Soldiers, the Judge quickly announced the verdict for Lann Zhen and the others. Those who were to be punished would be punished, and those who were to reincarnate would do so.
"Lann Zhen, reincarnate into the Human Path."
"Yuling, reincarnate into the Human Path."
"Jiangg Yao, reincarnate into the Beast Path."
"Baozhu, reincarnate into the Beast Path."
Jiangg Yao and Baozhu were dissatisfied. How could they be reincarnated as beasts in their next life?
The Judge looked at Jiangg Yao and said, "Everything started because of you."
His gaze then fell on Baozhu’s arrogant face: "The struggle for succession, the palace strife, many have died by your hands."
Even with explanations, Jiangg Yao and Baozhu were still unwilling.
However, what could unwillingness do? They were utterly unable to resist.
Yuling was a bit relieved; she blamed fate for her circumstances, but hadn’t done anything wrong in the mortal world. Being human was definitely better than being a beast.
Given what Jiangg Yao and Baozhu had done, they might have to be beasts for more than just one life. Thinking about this made her a little happy.
Lann Zhen was rather calm, drinking the Meng Po Soup without fuss, crossing the Naihe Bridge, and leaping into the Human Path.
Yuling followed closely, jumping in with a carefree heart.
Jiangg Yao was pushed in unwillingly; Yuling had mentioned earlier that she might have to be a beast for many lifetimes.
She didn’t want to be a beast!
However...
Baozhu clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger. Just when she was in despair, someone suddenly appeared beside her, grabbing her and escaping from the Underworld.
This person moved so quickly that the ghost soldiers of the Underworld didn’t even have time to react. By the time they chased after them, the two had already disappeared.
The Judge paused upon hearing about the incident: "Everything is fated; if she seeks her own death, she can’t blame others."
Reincarnation could be a chance for redemption and starting anew.
With Baozhu’s escape from the Underworld, it would erase her name from it, and she would no longer have the chance to reincarnate in the future.
Unless an evil ghost threatened the mortal world, the Underworld wouldn’t capture ghosts that managed to escape. Once the ghost soldiers of the Underworld are dispatched, the evil ghost’s only fate is the soul flying and scattering.
With so much happening in the Underworld, it might have been just a blink of an eye in the Heavenly Realm. A day in Heaven is a year in the mortal world and over three hundred years in the Underworld.
"Is it you?"
After escaping the Underworld, Baozhu finally saw clearly who had brought her out, the Douquan Star Lord.
"What does Douquan Star Lord mean by this?"
Douquan Star Lord was the reincarnation of Beitang Schiyu, though their appearances were vastly different. Baozhu didn’t know his real name. They had almost no interactions, only having seen each other from afar a few times, and for a moment, she couldn’t connect the two.
"Look again at who I am?"
When Douquan Star Lord transformed into Beitang Schiyu’s appearance, Baozhu’s expression was like she’d eaten something foul: "So it’s you!"
"Don’t be angry. I know you don’t want to enter the Beast Path. Given what you’ve done in the mortal world, even the Beast Path doesn’t know how many lives you have to reincarnate for. With your ambition, you probably don’t even want to enter the Human Path? You must regret descending to the mortal world."
Baozhu didn’t refute: "Tell me, what do you need me to do? I can cooperate, but I need to restore my power and return to the Heavenly Realm."
"Lord Qiann Yan and the Heavenly Emperor have turned against each other, and they have allied with Demons. Both are very powerful, but they have been confined by the Heavenly Emperor. To eliminate them still requires some strategy."
Baozhu understood: "Are you here to ask what weaknesses they have?"
Douquan Star Lord nodded in satisfaction: "Yes."
Recalling Qiann Yan’s ruthlessness, Douquan Star Lord shivered down to his soul. If he hadn’t sensed something was off and fled quickly, he would probably have ended up like the others—his Divine Soul destroyed.
"Alright, I can tell you, but can you guarantee that I will regain my power and return to the Heavenly Realm?"
Douquan Star Lord took out a medicine bottle: "This was bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor. Once you take it, you will regain your power."
Baozhu took out a pill from the bottle, seeing its rich immortal power, she no longer doubted and swallowed it in one go. Her strength surged instantly.
Douquan Star Lord and Baozhu appeared in the Heavenly Realm, before the registration office, taking out a Token: "Add Baozhu Fairy’s name to the Immortal Register. This is an order from the Heavenly Emperor."
The moment her name appeared on the Immortal Register, Baozhu felt she had become an Immortal again, feeling quite satisfied.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, this humble one has fulfilled the mission and brought back Baozhu Fairy. Baozhu Fairy has learned that Lord Qiann Yan has colluded with Demons and is willing to do the right thing despite familial ties."
The expressions of the immortals were indescribable, yet no one dared to point it out.
The Heavenly Emperor was overjoyed: "Good, Baozhu Fairy, quickly tell, what is her weakness, so we can eliminate her as soon as possible, lest the two Demons escape and harm the Three Realms."
