Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 1 (1/2)

Chapter 1

I still remember that before the fight I said to the b.a.s.t.a.r.d: “I’ll make your life become like dark clouds.”

Thinking back, what I said was too one sided.

When we both, full of bruises, were kneeling before the Jade Emperor, after hearing what we did to the red strings, he thought for a while and said: “和为贵 (he wei gui meaning he wants peace). You two did something wrong, so it’s right to be punished. You two ruined the future of lovers. I’m punis.h.i.+ng you with seven lifetimes of loving each other ( love fate). This can also help you two clear your resentment”

“Wait,” the young man beside me risked his life and interrupted the Jade Emperor.

“You mean me and …her? This fierce…fierce woman who looks like a man, you want me to have seven life times of love fate with her?”

His voice has changed; maybe he was scared out of his wits.

I was also scared out of my wits; I could only look at the Jade Emperor in horror…

The Jade Emperor nodded in confirmation.

I felt my body turned limp. All my hope is gone. I realized that for some time from now on, not only will I become the young man’s dark cloud but he also will become mine. When we come together it’s like thunderclouds.

“Xiao Xiang Zi, you’re still Yue Lao subordinate but in these seven life times you can’t contact him.”

The Jade emperor thought for a while and asked: “: Tou Ta Li, are you there?”

A rough man holding an urn yelled: “I’m here.”

The Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and said: “This matter will be handed to you.”

“Yes.”

He answered full of energy made my heart beat faster.I took a deep breath, raised my head and looked at the Heaven Emperor Li. The life in heaven made him fat.

Sensing I’m looking at him, he turned around. His face was full of radiance and his cheeks turned upwards when he laughed. Uncle laughed so beautiful.

I felt my mouth tightened, my always healthy heart beat like crazy. I took a deep breath. The always healthy me feel like I’m about to die at the moment.

The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction: “Xiao Xian Zi, do you still have anything left to say?”

I wanted to say that it was Yue Lao who messed up the red strings while he was drunk. If the red strings are messed up, let them than be messed up. There’s no need to punish me with such a vicious trick!

I looked at Yue Lao, he looked at me pitifully as in pleading me to not expose him. I turned around and kept taking deep breaths.

“Can I curse?”

“No.”

“Then…I have nothing to say.”

The Jade emperor nodded in satisfaction and turned to the young man: “Celestial star Chu Kong, do you have anything left to say?”

Chu Kong…So the young man is 卯日星君府 (mao ri xing jun fu, I have no idea what it is. Google translate said May G.o.d, but on hamster’s blog it was celestial star. I’ll keep hamster’s translation).

Among the twelve celestial stars he’s the oldest. He’s in care of the first month of the year. I finally know the ident.i.ty of the young man, who will spend seven lifetimes with me.

I looked at the ceiling and thought that this world is really ironic.

The young man beside me stayed silent for a long time, until my curious eyes fell on his face, he said with a straight pale face: “This time, messing up the red strings in Yue Lao’s house, is our fault, but I swear to the G.o.d of the Day (日星君 Ri Xing jun), this woman messed up more red strings than I. So can you let this woman suffer a little more every life time?”

I stood up and want to pick a fight with him again. Heaven Emperor Li came to my side and pressed me down. He said calmly: “I will look at this matter fairly.”

Although the figure of Emperor Li has gotten out of shape, his temper is still the same. I nodded gratefully and felt that in this world there’s still love.

When the sentence is over, everyone went back to their homes. All across the temple I heard Emperor Li’s laugh: “I love to see the little wife chasing the husband, hahahaha!”

I stood there and slowly turned into a lonely shadow.

Yue Lao brought me to the underworld, patted my shoulder and sighed: “Xiao Xiang…”

I glared at him and he didn’t dare to say the word he was about to say.

He sighed again: “No one will look after the temple now that you’re gone. What do I do?”

I pouted and said: “Drink less as to help me acc.u.mulate more virtue.”
