Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 324 Lin Hui's Chapter (2)

After leaving the Palace of Yama, Mo Yan and Kailin went straight to the border of the underworld.

"This is it. It's up to you." Mo Yan looked at Kailin and smiled.

"No problem, just watch me." Kailin smiled slightly, and then used the power of the Moon Saint to open a shortcut back to Shaling.

The two of them walked through the crack, and it was already dawn. After returning to Bai Yan's house, Zi Xuan and Zhao Heng were still sitting in the hall, waiting silently.

"Huh? You're back." Zhao Heng stood up from his seat immediately after hearing the door open. "Did you find out everything?"

Kailin smiled and gestured, saying, "Of course, who are we? Of course this is a simple matter."

"I'm not saying this, you really went to the underworld?" Zi Xuan said in disbelief.

Kailin snapped her fingers and said proudly, "Of course, thanks to the power of the Sirius, we can reach any place we've been to before."

"Are you stuck here with a bug?" Mo Yan clasped his hands and complained.

(Hu Xiaotao: That’s what I wanted to say, okay!)

"What's it to you? Besides, you went with them too." Kailin looked at Mo Yan with her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly.

"Just a complaint." Mo Yan said with his hands spread out.

Seeing this, Kailin showed a disdainful look, as if to say, "That's enough."

She curled her lips, then turned to Zixuan and Zhao Heng, her expression becoming serious. "Okay, let's get down to business. We did meet Hu Xiaotao, and we also inquired about the current situation of Bai Yan's wife."

"Really? What's the result?" Zi Xuan asked.

"Hu Xiaotao said that she has been reincarnated into a kind family. If nothing unexpected happens, she will live a smooth and peaceful life in this life." Mo Yan replied.

Kailin nodded and continued, "That's right. However, Hu Xiaotao also asked us to remind him that this matter concerns yin and yang, and must not be made known to anyone other than those involved. If it gets out, not only will he not be able to reunite with his lover in his next life, but his lover will also suffer misfortune in this life."

"So that's how it is. I guess Hu Xiaotao is also worried that after knowing the truth, he will be impatient to do something stupid in order to reunite with his lover." Zhao Heng nodded thoughtfully.

Zi Xuan sighed: "We all understand the truth, but how should we tell Bai Yan? His current situation..."

Before he could finish his words, the door leading to the back hall was suddenly pushed open.

Bai Yan stood there, holding onto the door frame, while Long Xianlin stood beside him. At this moment, his eyes were unusually bright. "What you...just said, is it true?"

Everyone was shocked, obviously not expecting him to have woken up.

Kailin quickly adjusted her expression and smiled reassuringly, "Of course it's true. We heard it from Hu Xiaotao the King of Hell himself. Your wife has been reincarnated, and she's very happy now. I believe you'll be able to meet again in your next life."

Bai Yan's fingers trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse as if he hadn't spoken in a long time: "Is she... really doing well?"

"Of course, this is the guarantee from Hu Xiaotao himself, how could it be false?" Kailin said with a smile, her hands folded in her arms.

"It's really an unexpected development. But now you should feel relieved, right?" Long Xianlin looked at Bai Yan and smiled.

At this moment, Bai Yan's eyes welled up with tears, but he tried hard not to let them fall: "But, in the next life...how long do I have to wait?"

"That's why you have to live well. Think about it, if you don't cherish this life, how can you be worthy of meeting her again in the next life?" Karen said with her hands on her hips and a smile.

Zi Xuan nodded: "That's right, don't forget what I said last night. If you insist on seeking death, you will not only fail your own efforts over the past few years, but also fail Ge Lian's expectations of you."

Bai Yan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "I understand... I will wait."

His voice was soft, but a little firmer than before.

Kailin breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance with Mo Yan.

(Kelin: He's finally stable now. He shouldn't have any suicidal thoughts anymore, right?)

(Mo Yan: Is there any need to say more? We have already said this. If he insists on doing this, I am afraid Hu Xiaotao will not agree.)

(Karin: That’s right.)

At the same time, in the underworld, in the King of Hell's Palace.

Hu Xiaotao looked at the scene in the water mirror and sighed softly: "This... should be considered as fulfilling the original agreement." Then she took out the heart knot that represented the agreement.

Juechen appeared behind her at some point: "Roar~ I didn't expect that our King of Hell would be so interested in the human world."

"What do you care!" Hu Xiaotao turned around with a red face, "Besides, you are the least qualified to criticize me."

"Um...can I know where she is in this life? I promise it's only from a distance..."

"No!" the four interrupted in unison.

"Let's not talk about whether Hu Xiaotao told us about Ge Lian's situation. Even if she did, this matter involves yin and yang. If you forcibly break the rules to find her, I'm afraid you will only ask for trouble, both for you and her." Zhao Heng said with his hands folded.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaotao's brows twitched slightly: "How dare you say that? It's obviously you who broke the rules..."

Long Xianlin patted Bai Yan's shoulder and said, "Just follow the norm. Some fate is worth waiting for a lifetime. I think this is a good idea. After all, doctors have a kind heart. If you are willing, you can come to my pharmacy to help out in the future."

Bai Yan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded heavily: "I will, after all, we have already agreed on this."

Long Xianlin smiled slightly: "Then let us work hard together, not only for the deceased, but also for the living."

Bai Yan nodded and shook hands with Long Xianlin.

At this moment, the sunlight outside the window shines through the gauze curtains, casting mottled light and shadows on his face, as if leaving a mark of fate on this promise.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaotao smiled with relief and then closed the water mirror. She turned and walked towards the depths of Yama's Palace, her sleeves fluttering, the heart knot faintly visible within them.

"The affairs of the world are over, now it's time to get down to business."

After saying that, she placed the heart knot into the file with Ge Lian's name on it.

"I've already done what you asked me to do." Hu Xiaotao looked at Ge Lian's file, which was about to be sealed. "As the Lord of the Underworld, I rarely admire someone's past so much. So, I can only use my own identity to wish you a life free from illness and disaster."

After the words fell, Juechen stood behind him and stroked his chin: "Come to think of it, you must have forgotten about this matter three years ago. If they hadn't brought it up again..."

Before she could finish her words, Hu Xiaotao turned around abruptly, pointing the Judge's Pencil in her hand straight at Juechen's throat, and said angrily: "Shut up, no one will think you're dumb if you don't speak!"

Seeing this, Juechen could only shrug helplessly.

Hu Xiaotao turned her head away, but didn't notice the slight upward curve of her mouth corners.

"Anyway, tell your friend to take care of himself first. Otherwise, when the time comes, I won't show any mercy."
