Ling Chaofeng and his brother rushed to the front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, only to see that on the front steps, sat the big belly bag Arhat who smiled widely. He stepped forward and bowed: ”Buddha is merciful.”
The burly man lightly caressed Chaofeng's head: ”Excellent.”
The Jade Emperor waved his hand towards Chaofeng, allowing him to step forward and speak. He softly asked: ”Mu Xiaowan's soul, where is it now?”
”At this little deity's home.” Ling Chaofeng replied.
”That's good. Take good care of him. We'll discuss the countermeasures later.” The Jade Emperor sighed, he stood up and walked to the door, smiling as he spoke to the bag of arhats. Ling Chaofeng was completely confused by what he saw.
The nearby God of Hell ran over, ”Amazing. Chaofeng, Xiaowan is actually the Thousand Petal Lotus in front of Lord Buddha.”
Ling Chaofeng was startled: ”Really?”
King of Hell laughed. ”Buddha bestowed her with the chance to return to the mortal world to benefit her. It's great now. Her soul was shattered by those idiots.”
Chaofeng was suspicious. He went forward, bent his knees, and asked Bag Arhat: ”Disciple is seeking advice. Does Xiaowan still have any sisters?”
Bag Arhat always laughed and nodded, ”The lotus stalk in front of my Buddha statue is not even close to lotus, both of them came down to earth, one was a supreme being while the other was humble, both lived and died together.”
The same life and the same breath?
King Yan scurried behind Ling Chaofeng and whispered, ”The Xiaowan is dead and the Queen is almost there.”
Ling Chaofeng looked at him in shock, then looked at the cloth bag Arhat. He was always smiling, and his true emotions could not be seen.
Jade Emperor's head hurt as he said awkwardly to the cloth bag Arhat: ”Please return to the west, wait for this little deity to settle this matter and personally report this to the west.”
The cloth sack Arhat clasped his hands and said, ”Excellent.”
He rode his cloud and leisurely walked away. The immortals sent him off with their eyes as he left, and then, the Jade Emperor flew into a rage. ”What's going on, who beat Mu Xiaowan to death?”
However, the Tianyin that killed Mu Xiaowan had already been torn to shreds by Ling Chaofeng. He had originally come here to receive punishment, but now, no one was pursuing this matter.
”The heavens are forbidding me from revealing the Lotus. For the time being, don't tell Mu Xiaowan about it.”
The group of people discussed this outcome. As for how they were going to deal with this wisp of soul, they couldn't delay any longer.
If this dragged on, she would not be able to continue living if Mu Xiaowan's body was burned. If this dragged on, the other lotus flower would also lose its life.
To Heaven Realm, it was equivalent to an order. If he wanted to rain, he wanted to rain; if he wanted to blow the wind, he wanted the wind; if he wanted to die with the Queen, he wanted to cross the line with the Heavens. The consequences would be unimaginable.
In front of their eyes, it was not as simple as breathing out immortal energy to bring the Xiaowan back to life. So many people had seen her die, and also saw her strange state before she died.
Naturally, the heavens could change the memories of mortals, but this change involved countless people. Any one of them missing would cause chaos in the world, allowing demons and monsters to take advantage of it and bring disaster to this world.
Ling Xiao Hall's deities dispersed, Dragon Queen returned with Dragon Clan. When he saw her son, he asked coldly, ”Is Mu Xiaowan in your residence?”
Chaofeng nodded and looked at his mother with a sharp gaze. ”I hope that Queen Mother does not touch him.”
Dragon Queen sneered: ”She has an extraordinary background, do you think I would dare?”
After the various immortals dispersed, Ling Chaofeng returned to his own immortal residence alone. Seeing that Hades was also on his way, and thinking of how he had taken care of Ling Chaofeng for the past few days, he walked over to send him off.
The old man clucked his tongue and said, ”I have to get down quickly. If they really send the Queen down later, I'll send it back to you guys as usual.” ”Seriously, that group of idiots didn't even open their eyes and they were just randomly killing people.”
Ling Chaofeng asked, ”Do you know when the Queen's lifespan will end?”
Hades said, ”In the Book of Life and Death, there is a lifespan of fifty years just like Xiaowan. But if I suddenly die, I won't be able to calculate it.”
Ling Chaofeng sighed lightly. Hades smiled and said, ”They are just timid and afraid, five hundred years ago, they did not dare to let the commoners that you accidentally killed return to the mortal world. The only reason is because they felt that altering the memories of ordinary people was too trivial and troublesome. This time, it's the same. Moreover, this matter caused such a huge ruckus. ”
Ling Chaofeng laughed bitterly: ”Even though it's complicated, if they didn't do it, I would have done it myself, but unfortunately …”
Hades laughed, ”Actually, there's another way. The Kitigarbha Bodhisattva has the Time Wheel in front of its seat. Turn it around, move it forward for three years, and everything will start anew. You don't need to go through so much trouble to erase your memories.”
”Indeed.” Ling Chaofeng said.
However, he understood that if he were to return to three years ago, then everything that had happened in these three years would start anew. The fate of humans would change, but this was a law of nature, and even the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death did not need to change.
”Let's see how they deal with it. I'll be leaving first.” King Yan bade farewell to Ling Chaofeng and returned to the Underworld.
When Ling Chaofeng returned to the Celestial Residence, Xiaowan was looking at the lotuses in the pond by the window. He gently reached out his hand to take the dew from the lotus leaf, but unfortunately, she was just a spirit.
”Hungry?” Ling Chaofeng stood behind her.
”Hubby.” When the Xiaowan saw that he had returned and that no one else was following him to arrest anyone, she immediately became relieved. It flew over and threw itself into Ling Chaofeng's embrace.
