Chapter 417: 417 Living is Wonderful_1
Qin Sisi gently pushed open the door to the room where Yellow Cat’s family lived and slowly walked in.
Indeed, Shu Wanyi was gently cuddling two kittens, with a tranquil smile on her lips. Yellow Cat and White Cat were both lying next to her, seeming to have completely accepted her presence.
The sight was so pleasing that Qin Sisi almost didn’t dare to ruin it.
However, once Shu Wanyi saw Qin Sisi enter, she knew that it was time. As reluctant as she was, she firmly placed the two kittens back on the bed, stood up, and sighed softly, murmuring, "It’s good to be alive."
An ache filled Qin Sisi’s heart, and she gently reassured, "Don’t worry, a kind girl like you will have a long life in your next reincarnation."
"I hope so." Shu Wanyi gave Qin Sisi a small smile and continued, "Let’s begin."
"Follow me." Qin Sisi led Shu Wanyi out of Yellow Cat’s family’s room, returned to the living room, and asked Ye You for a Spirit Gathering Pill.
Qin Sisi put the Spirit Gathering Pill in Shu Wanyi’s hand and explained, "This is a Spirit Gathering Pill, after taking it, your soul will recondense after a hundred years, and then you can reincarnate."
Shu Wanyi’s eyes sparkled, she swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill and thanked Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi sighed, had no intention of delaying anymore.
Even the most beautiful and adorable ghost is still a ghost, and should not live in the human world indefinitely. After the tribulations of her past life and the help from Ye You, she may receive true blessings in her next reincarnation.
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You, who gave a nod in return. With a flick of his paw, he summoned the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The snow-white Spirit Conversion Bottle revolved elegantly in the void, calling out to the ghost willing to offer up soul power.
A hint of a smile graced Shu Wanyi’s lips, and her silhouette gradually turned into a white mist, drifting into the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
With a quick curl of his paw, Ye You made the Spirit Conversion Bottle fly back into his hand and disappear, signifying another successful collection of soul power.
Pei Pei stood nearby the entire time, witnessing the entire process of Qin Sisi and Ye You collecting soul power, standing there in amazement.
She had heard a thing or two from Lan Di, she knew that Qin Sisi and her black cat were not ordinary, so out of sheer helplessness, she had asked for Qin Sisi’s help, but she had not expected them to be collecting soul power.
Pei Pei asked in shock, "Why are you collecting soul power?"
Qin Sisi glanced at her and replied nonchalantly, "I can’t really tell you that, but it’s not going to hurt people."
Pei Pei was speechless for a moment, unsure if seeking help from Qin Sisi was the right thing to do.
Now that Shu Wanyi’s matter had been settled, Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. She nestled into the couch and looked over to Pei Pei, asking inquisitively, "What is it that you need my help for?"
Pei Pei was struggling within herself, feeling the urge to back away, but each time she thought of Lan Di intimately entwined with another woman, it felt as if a thousand arrows had shot through her heart, causing her immense grief.
In the end, Pei Pei clenched her teeth and blurted out to Qin Sisi, "I want Lan Di."
Qin Sisi stared at Pei Pei in shock, unclear of her sudden statement.
"I told you, Lan Di isn’t here," Qin Sisi said.
Pei Pei bit her lip and stated, "I don’t want him physically, I want his heart."
Qin Sisi smirked bitterly, "Then his heart is even less likely to be here."
Pei Pei calmed down slightly, took a deep breath, and said, her voice raspy, "That’s not what I mean. Listen to me, you should see that I’m in love with Lan Di."
Qin Sisi nodded, Pei Pei’s affection for Lan Di was quite evident.
Pei Pei’s voice choked up, "Let me tell you the story of Lan Di and me."
Qin Sisi nodded again. She only knew the basics of Lan Di and Pei Pei’s relationship and wasn’t familiar with the details of their history.
Pei Pei started, her gaze melancholic, "Twenty years ago, Lan Di and I died on the same day in separate accidents. His family was wealthy while mine was ordinary. Our families met in the morgue, and ultimately, they arranged a ghost marriage for Lan Di and me, and we were buried together.
In theory, I am actually Lan Di’s wife."
This revelation stunned Qin Sisi. She had not expected that Lan Di and Pei Pei were bound by a ghost marriage.
Pei Pei paused briefly before continuing, "Whether in the human world or the underworld, money can buy a lot of things.
Lan Di had a lot of burial offerings, including a significant amount of Joss Paper. He was used to spending freely and was never stingy, becoming quite popular among ghosts in the underworld.
’Money speaks’ is a universal truth. Lan Di cleverly realized this. He decided that he did not want to go through the cycle of life, aging, and death again, so he did not wish to reincarnate. He also wasn’t content with being a lowly ghost, so he spent a lot of money buying several medicines that could enhance his spiritual power.
His efforts paid off, and his spiritual power greatly increased, though his skin began to take on a blue hue as a side effect.
But neither he nor I cared about that. Besides, despite his blue complexion, he was still handsome, wasn’t he?"
Caught off guard by Pei Pei’s sudden inquiry, Qin Sisi faltered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
It was indeed true; Lan Di was quite handsome.
Pei Pei’s eyes sparkled, filled with immense adoration for Lan Di.
She carried on speaking, "Later on, he finally became a Ghost Immortal. He no longer needed to reincarnate, and he was no longer bothered by other ghosts from the underworld. He even had a few obedient spirits at his command.
As his status rose, so did mine. Everyone in the underworld was aware of my relationship with Lan Di, and no one dared to bully me.
However, I knew that Lan Di didn’t really like me that much. He wasn’t particularly pleased with me, his wife that was forcefully decided by our parents. His daily care for me was mere courtesy due to our special relationship.
But luckily, he never developed any intimate relationships with any other women despite his playful nature.
So, naively, I thought that as long as I continued to be kind to him, and tried just a bit harder, one day, he would see how good I am and fall in love with me.
But... as you witnessed last time, he couldn’t even tolerate holding my hand."
Recalling that situation, Qin Sisi also felt it was unfair for Pei Pei. However, you can’t force feelings, so Qin Sisi sighed, "I don’t think I can help you with your situation."
Pei Pei hurriedly interjected, "Let me finish first, I feel like you can help me."
Without waiting for Qin Sisi to reply, Pei Pei continued, "On the third day of Lunar New Year, Lan Di went to our graves to collect ceremonial offerings. On his way, he encountered a very fashionable beauty, which you have already seen."
Qin Sisi nodded in recognition, recalling the fashionable beauty Lan Di had introduced during his visit, whose interaction with him was noticeably intimate.
