Chapter 7 (2/2)

I interrupt him, “Wait”

He stares at me “What else do

you need?”

“I need to figure out exactly

what Chai Rong did in his lifetime”

I could see hi

internally before finally letting me read Little Prince Chai’s life Simply

put, it is an epic revolving around the capture and collection of male

beauties

At one, he stopped

breast-feeding At two, he learned to read and write Then at the tender age of

thirteen, he began his life as a cut sleeve until the age of twenty-one, at

which point he had collected nineteen concubines Behind each was a horrendous,

bloody story, and each was et a nice round

number, he found his arrow aimed at the newly appointed tanhua

After bribery and threats failed, he kidnapped the tanhua while the gentle home And finally, he died

in bed strangled by the tanhua

Goddaot off easy

being strangled!

“You have collected many yinthe body to life,” the chief explains to me in

the end The little prince is the er’s heart, and

the emperor absolutely adores hiled, the

e with the prince

and the tanhua to death by slow

slicing As soon as I returned to life, I saved nineteen lives just like that,

and the tanhua is currently being

kept on death row until the emperor decides his fate

“So, it’s all in the hands of

destiny, son,” he rahts “Think back over your

previous two decades of life Was there anything you wish you had

accomplished?”

I think back to hteenth

birthday when I learned to accept that I would only ever rise to the level of

ordinary After that, I considered ambitions and aspirations only in my

daydreams

“It’s a different story now

You have been given a second chance Here, you’ll be able to make a name and a

neorld for yourself” My ot money and power The

sky’s the limit!

“A man must have ambition,

aspiration, a fighting spirit and his own empire Now that is a real man! My

boy, youfortune to others, and most

iht future for yourself!”

Standing on the Bridge of

Hopelessness, I see before me a world full of life and possibilities

An ambitious vow appears in my

head: From today onwards, the world will knohat a virtuous hero the new

Prince Chai Rong is!

I bring ether and

say to the chief, “I’ll go back now”

He claps ain

“I will send you back, youngis still awaiting my help”

“wangqing?” What an elegant

nairl?”

“A lady, of course,” he says

as a sweet s Every soul that

crosses the BridgeWater Haven’t you heard of

it?”

“wangqing Water? Isn’t it

Meng-po

Soup?”

His face twitched “That was

the old naed it”

The tanhua was the

third-place in a national examination

Literally “forget sentiment”

The suffix -po refers to

an elderly wo-po is the Chinese Goddess of reincarnation who met the

dead at the bridge to the afterlife She served theetfulness

before leading thee to their next life She is usually

portrayed as an old woman
