Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Desolate Messenger of Death_1
Hearing Liu Xiaotian’s accusation, Wang Haolong’s defense was almost yelled out, "She’s a ladyboy, a man. We got married to acquire the husband and wife skills, to make raiding dungeons easier."
Liu Xiaotian sneered and rolled her eyes, contemptuously saying, "More like cheating, right! You’re saying a ladyboy is a ladyboy? Only a fool would believe your bullshit."
"Aren’t you a ghost?" Qin Sisi blurted out.
Don’t these ghosts have any semblance of consciousness? They’ve been ghosts for so long yet they can’t change their human way of talking.
Liu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, quickly correcting herself, "Even as a ghost, I don’t believe your gibberish."
Wang Haolong said helplessly and angrily, "You just don’t trust me, no matter what I say, you don’t believe me. I gave up my life for you, what more do you want from me?"
But hearing this only made Liu Xiaotian angrier, "Gave up your life for me? Who asked you to do that? Did you ask for my consent when you killed me? Did you ask for my consent when you committed suicide?"
Wang Haolong lowered his voice and said sheepishly, "I’ve said it many times before, I really didn’t mean for it to happen."
"Just because it was an accident, it’s all okay? You kill someone and apologizing is enough? Do you think you’re playing a game where you can just respawn as many times as you want?"
Liu Xiaotian became even more agitated, yelling at Wang Haolong and started crying uncontrollably.
Seeing Liu Xiaotian’s tears, Wang Haolong’s expression softened, his eyes filled with distress. He kept pleading with her in soft whispers, pleading for her to stop crying, as he slowly closed the distance between them.
But Liu Xiaotian kept beating on him relentlessly, with loud smacks landing on Wang Haolong’s face and body.
From the tit-for-tat exchanges, Qin Sisi pieced together quite a bit of information. Apparently, Liu Xiaotian was accidentally killed by Wang Haolong, who in turn, committed suicide for some unknown reason.
No wonder Liu Xiaotian would resort to violence and insults whenever she saw Wang Haolong.
Qin Sisi went up to them, puzzled, and said, "If you truly hate each other this much, why not reincarnate? One sip of the Soup of Oblivion and all past memories will be forgotten, isn’t that the best resolution?"
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The two who were bickering just moments ago fell quiet with complicated expressions on their faces as they looked at Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi felt a little guilty, did she say something wrong?
Liu Xiaotian coughed a few times, arrogantly saying, "Why should I reincarnate? To be reborn as a silly woman who gets bullied by a man? Why should I take the Soup of Oblivion? Why should I forget the pain he’s caused me? I want to remember, I want to resent him for a lifetime, no wait, for numerous lifetimes, innumerable lifetimes!"
Wang Haolong stood silently by the side, his eyes a mix of complicated emotions as he looked at Liu Xiaotian.
Qin Sisi raised an eyebrow, was she serious? Even though Liu Xiaotian claimed she hated and resented him, Qin Sisi detected hints of love in her manner.
This was probably Liu Xiaotian’s lingering regret.
So what was Wang Haolong’s regret? It should be Liu Xiaotian, right?
But is there such a love? Even when the other party kills you, you cannot stop loving them.
Qin Sisi frowned as she thought it over numerous times, unable to come up with an answer, but felt that she herself would not be able to do it.
At this thought, sympathy surfaced in Qin Sisi for Liu Xiaotian, despite her ferocious and arrogant demeanor.
So, Qin Sisi decided to drop the subject and gently asked, "Do you have any unfulfilled desires since your souls did not leave with the Messenger of Death?"
"Messenger of Death?" both Wang Haolong and Liu Xiaotian repeated, their expressions confused.
Seeing their reactions, Qin Sisi pressed on, "Hasn’t the Messenger of Death ever found you two? That seems unlikely."
Liu Xiaotian tilted her head, recalling, "Now that you mention it, it seems someone cloaked in black with their face obscured did appear when we had just died."
"Didn’t he tell you two to go with him?" Qin Sisi asked. Wasn’t the purpose of the Messenger of Death to collect souls?
Liu Xiaotian scratched her head and casually replied, "I wasn’t paying attention."
"Not paying attention?" Qin Sisi was taken aback.
Liu Xiaotian nodded and said, "We were too busy fighting back then, didn’t notice what he was saying."
Qin Sisi turned her gaze towards Wang Haolong, who gave a sheepish grin and said, "Don’t look at me, I paid even less attention. She was furious back then, so as soon as she was visible, she wouldn’t stop hitting me. I just covered my head and let her beat me. I didn’t see the Messenger of Death you mentioned at all."
Qin Sisi was speechless, were ghosts this quirky these days?
Ghosts with regrets refusing to follow the Messenger of Death, hungry ghosts attracted by the scent of food refusing the Messenger of Death, and these two in front of her fighting and ignoring the Messenger of Death.
It was such a rarity to encounter a peaceful ghost like Wang Longhe, only for Qin Sisi to intercept him halfway.
Qin Sisi silently mourned for the Messenger of Death for a few seconds. Apparently, every profession had its own difficulties!
Ye You, who was at the side seemed to understand what Qin Sisi was thinking and meowed a few times to say, "These special circumstances are actually rare, most of the time, the Messengers of Death are able to complete their tasks."
Qin Sisi nodded thoughtfully. If the Messengers of Death often failed at their task, wouldn’t there be wild ghosts roaming everywhere?
Qin Sisi refocused her attention on Wang Haolong and Liu Xiaotian, asking them, "Do you have any wishes?"
Wang Haolong remained silent, but Liu Xiaotian, sensing the hidden intentions behind Qin Sisi’s words, asked cautiously, "What do you mean by asking this question?"
Qin Sisi honestly responded, "I hope you will offer your Soul Power to me and in return, I will help you to fulfill your unresolved wish."
Hearing Qin Sisi’s words, Wang Haolong and Liu Xiaotian were both struck dumb, gaping at each other in surprise, with complex expressions.
After a long pause, Liu Xiaotian gave a sigh and said, "Actually, I’m not quite sure what my wish is, I need to think about it."
On hearing her words, Wang Haolong also added, "I need to think about it too."
Qin Sisi contemplated, then said, "Alright, I’ll give you a day. By this time tomorrow, I hope you’ll have a satisfactory answer for me."
Wang Haolong looked out of the window, then to Liu Xiaotian, saying, "It’s almost dawn, we should leave now."
