Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes (Love You Seven Times)

Chapter 10

Edited by renderedreversed

The soul collectors took me to the Netherworld. I thought I must’ve escaped the next six lifetimes. I sighed a long sigh. In truth, I wanted to laugh out loud instead, but for some reason, I couldn’t laugh at all. My lips still had the taste of Lu Hai Kong’s lips, and the memory of it turned my heart sour.

He was still alive. For the rest of my life, there would no longer be a little fool called Lu Hai Kong.

I looked back at the road to the Netherworld. A feeling of loss came over me.

“Hurry up! Hurry up! Why are you so slow?! What tricks do you plan on playing?” a ghost’s tiny voice yelled. His stare was filled with suspicion as he watched me.

I pouted: “Why are you so impatient? This time I will obediently drink the Soup of Oblivion.”

Temporarily forgetting these feelings was also a good thing.

That brat heard my words and laughed coldly: “Soup of Oblivion? You still want to be reincarnated? First, obediently stay in the Netherworld for eight or ten years to pay for your sins, then we can talk.”

I asked: “Pay for what?”

The little ghost led me deeper into the Netherworld, but we did not go in the direction of the bridge (where souls wait for their turn to drink the Soup of Oblivion and cross over the bridge to be reincarnated).

Nervous, I suddenly tensed up. Could they be dragging me to the pot?

The heaven and the earth saw that I hadn’t committed any serious crimes, ah!

I was still lost in my thoughts when the little ghost said: “Last time you and that Celestial Star Chu Kong caused a mess in the Netherworld, Madam Meng took a leave of three thousand years. The Netherworld already doesn’t have enough manpower; now because of you it has even less manpower. We’ve wasted a lot of time. That Celestial Star Chu Kong was polite. He obediently stayed here for five years to atone for his sins. But you, you just turned your butt and went to reincarnate. Humph, humph, the Netherworld doesn’t bother with the human world, but now that you’ve come back, we won’t go easy on you!”

I swallowed. How could I have forgotten that time?

The Netherworld had many duties, and they wanted to punish someone. Even if I had a thousand lifetimes left to go through, I still needed to suffer this punishment before I could be allowed to leave.

This, this…this delay. If my punishment lasted till Lu Hai Kong died, then would I need to be reincarnated with him again?

While I was still lost in my thoughts, the little ghost led me to Yanwang’s palace.

Yangwang: the king of hell/netherworld

“Yanwang, the Cloud Fairy has been brought.”

After the little ghost finished speaking, there was no reply. I looked up and saw two feet placed on top of a desk. Behind the desk was a man dressed in black sitting on a chair. His face was covered with a book, and it was clear that he was in a deep sleep.

The little ghost shouted again: “Yanwang! The Cloud Fairy has been brought!”

The man in the chair moved. The book on his face fell to the ground with a “pa” sound.

“Ah…en. Good, good.”

He put his legs down, wiped his mouth, and sat up. Then he turned a page of a book that was lying on the messy desk. With eyes still full of sleep, he asked: “Ah, that, what fairy? What crime did the fairy commit?”
