Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1157 - 1153: Blessing and Misfortune Intertwined

Chapter 1157: Chapter 1153: Blessing and Misfortune Intertwined

"Mom, do you remember Jiang Taoshi?"

"Jiang Taoshi? Who’s that? Do I know them?" Yang Qingfang looked puzzled at these words.

"It was when I was in middle school. One summer, a classmate came to our home to pick fruit, and at noon, you cooked chicken for us. The chicken wasn’t completely dead, and it splattered blood all over one of the classmates..."

"You’re talking about Taozi, right?"

Yang Qingfang suddenly realized, and even Han Changfa, listening on the side, remembered.

"You’re talking about that little girl from Jiang Hongtu’s family?" Han Changfa said.

"You also know her dad?" This time, Han Qiaoqi was somewhat surprised.

"Once at a parent-teacher meeting, I met her dad. We sat together and chatted quite congenially, but later there was no further contact." Han Changfa replied.

Han Qiaoqi suddenly understood.

"When you initially mentioned Jiang Taoshi, I didn’t immediately get it. When you said Taozi, I knew. That name is easy to remember, and the girl is quite pretty." Yang Qingfang remarked.

"My return is also related to Taozi’s boyfriend. He gave me this opportunity." Han Qiaoqi said seriously.

"Oh? How so?" The couple was very curious.

So Han Qiaoqi recounted her chance encounter with Xiao Yue and Dou Dou at the Dragon King Temple, along with what happened afterward.

Hearing this, the couple looked at each other in shock.

"That... that little girl actually married a ghost god?" Yang Qingfang spoke with a stutter.

"Don’t talk nonsense. He governs a state, and is a True God ordained by the Heavenly Court." Han Changfa sternly rebuked.

"Yes, yes, I was babbling, pardon, pardon." Yang Qingfang clasped her hands together and repeatedly bowed to the empty space.

Being locals from Bin Hai, they had a strong belief in these matters, otherwise, Han Qiaoqi wouldn’t have visited the Dragon King Temple, as her parents frequently took her there during her childhood.

"Qiongzhou Netherworld Lord Governor?"

Han Changfa repeatedly chewed over these words, the shock slowly faded from his eyes, replaced by uncontrollable joy,

"So you’re saying, Taozi’s partner is the True God overseeing all ghost gods in Qiongzhou?"

Han Qiaoqi nodded and added,

"His name is Shen Siyuan. He manages the yin and yang Order of Qiongzhou, overseeing all souls. My ability to freely become visible and return to see you is granted by his permission."

"Good, that’s wonderful." Yang Qingfang clapped her hands with excitement, her eyes shining.

"It’s truly a blessing in disguise. Our Qiaoqi suffered so much, yet she’s connected with such a bond, Taozi was always full of Spiritual Energy as a child. Little did we know she’d have such fortune when grown."

She held Han Qiaoqi’s hand, speaking more and more enthusiastically: "Qiaoqi, you must maintain a good relationship with Taozi. You were old classmates, and it would be good to have a connection there."

Han Changfa nodded repeatedly, his face full of relief: "Your mom is right. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, and you should seize it."

Then Yang Qingfang suddenly leaned close to Han Qiaoqi, her eyes filled with cautious expectation: "Qiaoqi, do you think... since the Lord Governor is so powerful, could he... could he allow you to come back to life?"

Han Qiaoqi couldn’t help but laugh through her tears and shook her head: "Mom, my body has been cremated, there’s no physical form to return with."

Yang Qingfang’s expectation dimmed instantly, and she sighed: "True, it’s all turned to ash..."

She couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed, but then she thought, her daughter could return in spirit form to see her and talk, which was already a great blessing, and so she perked herself up: "It’s okay if you can’t come back to life, as long as you’re okay."

Han Changfa saw the look of disappointment on his wife’s face and gently patted her shoulder, then turned to Han Qiaoqi and said: "Your mom is daydreaming. Don’t take it to heart. Just speak positively about us to Taozi and let the Lord Governor take good care of you. Once you’ve resolved matters here, when you return to the Netherworld, reborn into a good life, living peacefully, that’s better than anything."

"Rebirth?"

Yang Qingfang suddenly realized, and her eyes instantly reddened, "After rebirth, she won’t be our Qiaoqi anymore, not the Han Family’s daughter..."

Her sorrow deepened as she spoke, her voice even carried a sob: "Then she won’t remember me, won’t remember you, won’t remember this home..."

Han Changfa felt just as bad, but he tried hard to comfort her with tearful sincerity: "Don’t say that, rebirth is a new beginning, better than being lonely in the Netherworld. As long as she can go through life smoothly and without suffering, we’ll be at ease."

Han Qiaoqi saw her mother with tears streaming down, and she felt sad as well, gently embracing her: "Mom, don’t be upset, there’s something I haven’t told you."

She paused and looked at her parents’ curious yet worried faces and continued: "Once I fulfill my wishes and return to the Netherworld, the Lord Governor will have me work under him."

"Work?"

The couple spoke in unison, their faces full of surprise.

"Yes."

Han Qiaoqi smiled slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of longing.

"I haven’t done anything bad in life, and now I have this relationship with Taozi. Staying in the Netherworld to work counts as a good place to belong."

Yang Qingfang’s tears stopped instantly, her eyes widened as she looked at Han Qiaoqi: "Is what you’re saying true?"

"It’s true."

Han Qiaoqi nodded firmly, "How could the Lord Governor deceive me about such matters."

"That’s wonderful, truly wonderful."

Yang Qingfang cried again, but this time with tears of joy.

"This way, you won’t forget us after reincarnation and you’ll have a safe place to stay, with Taozi looking after you, we’ll be completely at ease."

Han Changfa also relaxed, a smile returning to his face: "This is truly great news. Our Qiaoqi indeed has great fortune, even after suffering misfortune, she’s gained such good opportunity. She should do well in the Netherworld and honor Taozi’s friendship..."

"I understand, Dad."

Han Qiaoqi nodded, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.

The sadness of separation between yin and yang was eased considerably by this unexpected joy.

The atmosphere in the living room turned warm again, Yang Qingfang held Han Qiaoqi’s hand, naggingly reminding her to be careful in her future work, and also inquired about Taozi’s current life, seemingly having endless things to say.

Han Changfa sat quietly by their side, watching the mother and daughter, his eyes full of relief.

He picked up the cigarette on the table without lighting it, merely stroking the cigarette pack. Although his daughter obtained such a chance, this wasn’t a reason to forgive Zhou Zifu.

Everyone must pay for their mistakes, a hint of sternness flashed in Han Changfa’s eyes.

Just then, while talking to her mother, Han Qiaoqi suddenly turned her head to look toward the doorway, showing a surprised expression.

"Why are you here?" Han Qiaoqi asked.

The couple was startled to see an "outsider" entering their home and stood up in shock.
