Chapter 1603 - 1450: Yin Yang Inn 6
Although Qi Shuangshuang appeared in a mysterious manner, she is at least an acquaintance and has helped him before, so Pei Shaosen finally calmed his mind a bit.
He straightened his attire and respectfully bowed to Qi Shuangshuang, saying, "Benefactor, I am grateful for your previous assistance, thanks to which my family’s feud has been avenged. Today, I have come to fulfill my promise and serve you."
Qi Shuangshuang smiled slightly, gently shaking the exquisite and elegant round fan in her hand twice: "Mr. Pei, there’s no need for formalities. My name is Qi Shuangshuang, you can just call me Manager Qi.
As Mr. Pei is new here, you must have many things you don’t understand. Let me give you a brief introduction; our Yin Yang Inn caters to guests from the Yellow Springs.
What we need to do is resolve the guests’ obsessions so they can smoothly embark on their journey to the Yellow Springs and find their way back. As the accountant, you will record the guests’ life merits and sins.
This ledger will be a crucial basis for judging whether guests are to be punished or rewarded at the Yin Yang Inn, concerning their future reincarnation destinations.
The recorder must have no bias whatsoever, and the records must be true and accurate, faithfully capturing everything that truly occurred. Can you do that?"
Pei Shaosen didn’t expect the Yin Yang Inn to be such a place; he immediately became serious. His family’s standards are strict, and he is an upright person, having never lost his mind to harm others even when transformed into an Evil Spirit.
His character is excellent; in fact, Qi Shuangshuang initially chose Pei Shaosen precisely because of his indomitable spirit, which enables him to undertake the role of the accountant at the Yin Yang Inn.
Pei Shaosen is indeed confident he can do this accounting job well; he straightened his attire again, standing upright in front of Qi Shuangshuang with a serious yet sincere expression.
"Manager Qi, rest assured. Since you believe in me this much to let me be the accountant at the Yin Yang Inn, I, Pei Shaosen, will surely not betray your trust!"
Qi Shuangshuang smiled and nodded, extending her right hand, revealing a brand new white ledger and a completely golden pen appearing in her palm.
"This is the Yin Yang Account, and this pen is the Merit Pen, specially used to record the Yin Yang Account. It’s also your protective weapon, ensuring your safety."
Pei Shaosen earnestly took the Yin Yang Account and the Merit Pen from Qi Shuangshuang’s hand, surprisingly, they disappeared as soon as they reached his hands.
Pei Shaosen was shocked immediately, and Qi Shuangshuang, noticing his anxiety, explained: "The Yin Yang Account and Merit Pen will enter your soul body and bind to you. Whenever you want to use them, just think about it and you can."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shaosen promptly extended his hand, trying to retrieve the Yin Yang Account and Merit Pen. Sure enough, as soon as he thought about it, the Yin Yang Account and Merit Pen appeared in his hands again, finally putting his mind at ease.
After Pei Shaosen stored away the Yin Yang Account and Merit Pen, Qi Shuangshuang waved her hand towards Pei Shaosen again, and Pei Shaosen found his clothes changed, which hadn’t been swapped for decades after his death.
The clothes on him transformed into a black, lavish robe with wide sleeves, styled similarly to those worn by Feng Lin, Li Yu, and Qi Shuangshuang.
The difference was that the patterns embroidered on the black robes of him, Feng Lin, and Li Yu were silver thread, whereas Qi Shuangshuang’s clothing had patterns in golden thread.
Not only clothes but even the hair was automatically tied up with a Black Jade hairband; the whole of Pei Shaosen now looked different, becoming more elegant and refined than before.
Besides changing clothes and hairstyle, Pei Shaosen felt he had regained a physical body, experiencing thoroughly grounded sensations, even the heartbeat and body temperature returned, completely identical to when he was alive.
Touching his face and hands, Pei Shaosen’s expression was mixed with shock and disbelief, while Qi Shuangshuang watched him and shook her round fan with a smile.
"I have already restored your corporeal body, making it more convenient for your future work. Feng Lin, kindly accompany Mr. Pei around the inn to familiarize him with the environment. Li Yu, come with me for an outing."
After Qi Shuangshuang finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the inn, while Li Yu, leaning lazily against the staircase railing, stretched with a charming, husky voice.
"Manager is really biased, always ordering me around, why not trouble Feng Lin, such a doting on that foolish cat."
Li Yu’s tone carried a lazy smile; though seemingly complaining, there was no sign of dissatisfaction, and Li Yu quickly caught up with Qi Shuangshuang, instantly disappearing into the boundless sea of fire-red flowers.
On the other side, Pei Shaosen simply indulged in the joy of regaining a corporeal body, incessantly clasping and unclasping his hands, pivoting around in circles, pacing back and forth, reveling in the long-lost feeling of being alive.
Feng Lin placed his hand on Pei Shaosen’s shoulder, grinning with little tiger teeth showing: "Alright, enough rejoicing, the introductions aren’t finished yet. Come on, I will grandly introduce you to the great figure concerning our lifelong happiness.
Ta-da! Firstly, let’s grandly unveil our Yin Yang Inn’s chief steward, Wood Demon!"
With Feng Lin’s words, Pei Shaosen noticed a giant human face suddenly appearing on the wall before him, with a pair of blood-red eyes on the face.
Pei Shaosen instantly recognized these eyes as the same pair of blood-red eyes from the door when he came in earlier.
The Wood Demon glanced at Pei Shaosen and said, "Hello, welcome to the Yin Yang Inn." Then it faded into the wall, leaving no sound.
Feng Lin continued introducing to Pei Shaosen: "Although Yin Yang Inn is an inn, it has evolved and transformed into a demon; the Wood Demon is the inn itself.
The Wood Demon is our chief steward, and your future daily necessities and anything you wish to do can be asked of the Wood Demon, like this, Wood Demon steward, I’m tired, and would like to go to the room with Mr. Pei to rest."
As soon as Feng Lin finished speaking, Pei Shaosen found himself and Feng Lin transported to a different location.
The two moved from the inn’s main hall to an exquisitely furnished room, which had a large bed, clearly a place for sleeping.
Looking at Pei Shaosen’s astonished face, Feng Lin couldn’t help but laugh and said, "How is it, isn’t the Wood Demon steward impressive?"
Pei Shaosen nodded repeatedly: "So miraculous, Wood Demon steward is amazing!"
Feng Lin boasted slightly: "Of course, you should try it too. No matter what you want to do, just communicate with the Wood Demon steward and you can."
Pei Shaosen was indeed eager to try, he considered for a moment and said: "Wood Demon steward, I’m thirsty and would like to drink tea, could you please assist me?"
Just as Pei Shaosen finished speaking, a set of table and chairs appeared before him, with a complete set of tea brewing implements laid out on the table.
Several wooden hands emerged from the table, boiling water, brewing, rinsing tea, and preparing the tea, the whole process swift and orderly, captivating Pei Shaosen’s attention, his eyes brimming with wonder.
