Chapter 19

Deep into the night, Pan Pan wrote today’s diary.

One more thing has been resolved, which was great. He dragged out an antique suitcase made by Phoebe Zhennan under the bed. He opened it with a spell, and a small bronze box was inside. He took out the key and opened it, and there was a silver box inside. Opening the box, he saw a book with a thick black leather cover, which recorded the Method of the Rebirth of the Soul. He read it again silently, from beginning to end… After repeatedly reading this thick book these days, a sudden impulse surged in his heart, urging him to hurry up and fulfill the request of the Unknown Master. The promise he made back then must be fulfilled.

At this moment, Little White who held two cups of iced milk tea couldn’t knock on the door, so he went through the door and entered Pan Pan’s room.

“Big Boss isn’t here?” He put the milk tea on the table and asked deliberately. In fact, he dared to come over after knowing King Yama had left.

“Well, he has something to do and will probably go out for a few more days.” Pan Pan solemnly stared at Little White’s face and said with a smile, “I was about to look for you.”

“Is it because you want to discuss my history background?”

“Um,” Pan Pan nodded, stood up, and walked up to Little White. He pinched Little White’s face and said, “I always think you are an uncanny being. I’m very curious about what kind of souls consisted Little White, such a smart and mischievous being. What would these two look like? What kind of story do they have before their souls were struck into pieces…”

Hearing what Pan Pan had said, Little White took out a small mirror in his pocket and looked at himself. He lamented: “I always like looking into the mirror from the very beginning. Seeing my own image in the mirror always brings me overwhelming pleasure. I used to think it was a manifestation of narcissism, but now it seems I like to look at myself because one part of my soul deeply loves another part…” Little White put away the mirror, continued to look at Pan Pan, and said: “I would also imagine a lot about what kind of people my parents were, who created my soul?”

“Ebyv?”

“Their bodies! I think your daddies’ physical bodies have already turned into spring mud a long time ago. We must find two new ones.”

“Just pick two handsome, magnificent, and intact corpses!”

Pan Pan knocked Little White’s head in anger, “Have you studied the reincarnation process of the Underworld?! In addition to having a body, unconventional reincarnation also requires the return of Return Yang Pearl or elixir.”

Little White confessed: “I learned all the rules within a few days back then, but Ox Head and Horse Face didn’t tell me about it. Besides, I never heard you give Cang Qiong your Return Yang Pearl! He is still living well, right?!”

“I gave him the elixir that Guanyin Bodhisattva discreetly gave to me… Now I have nothing here.”

“I see…”

Pan Pan sat down and felt a little disheartened, “Now, don’t count on the elixir. Return Yang Pearl was less regulated hundreds of years ago. I could sneak in and get a few. But now it’s impossible to get them through regular procedures. Every Return Yang Pearl in the Underworld has been strictly registered. If you go to the black market to buy one, the price is astronomical.”

“Go to the ‘black market’ to buy one?” Little White has never heard of the black market.

“That’s it…” Pan Pan approached Little White’s ear with a whoosh and said in a low voice, “Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he can provide the Return Yang Pearl. But one costs three thousand taels of gold, and two are six thousand taels. Ancestral money or money from the human world wouldn’t be accepted. And the creature who uses Return Yang Pearl will turn into a human rather than an immortal.”

“It’s that expensive? Can you ask the Big Boss to buy it? Maybe he can get a 20% discount!” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a very deep relationship with the Underworld!

“There’s no way he would be willing to come and help us! It’s best not to give him a hint about this kind of thing.”

“That’s true.” Little White’s mouth deflated. Pan Pan knew more about his Big Boss. He shuffled around the room and proceeded outside. After a while, he held a big golden piggy bank and swayed back, “Pan Pan. This is my pocket money. It’s full of gold ingots!” In order to see the older daddy and the little daddy, he thought it was worth taking out all of his property. After all, they gave him his soul.

The judge weighed the piggy bank, “But it’s not enough.”

“Then I will give this golden piggy bank. It’s 24K pure gold, and the pig’s eyes are made up of exquisite rubies…”

Pan Pan still shook his head.

The two were worried for a few seconds, and at the same time, they thought of one person – the money bag Chang Mu.

Little White was an absolute initiator. He immediately picked up the two cups of milk tea that weren’t drunk yet and turned to please the money bag.

Chang Mu had just finished taking a bath with Xu Dian, and was applying baby powder to his Little Ma’s buttocks. At first glance, there was nothing unusual, but it was actually very flattering. Chang Mu rubbed Xu Dian’s tender buttocks, licked his mouth, and wanted to secretly give him a kiss. At this moment, Little White rushed in without knocking on the door. Xu Dian screamed in fright, grabbed a towel, and wrapped himself up. Chang Mu wasn’t able to give that kiss yet.

Little White quickly turned around and apologized: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t see anything!” ‘Hey, isn’t he actually a little naked kid? Is there really a need to be nervous?’

Xu Dian dressed up as quickly as possible and sat on the bed gracefully. Of course, Chang Mu wasn’t happy. He asked with a long face, “Little White, what’s the matter?”

“Uh…” It was better to cut to the chase, “It’s like this, Senior Mu-er…”

“You turn around first and then talk to me.”

“Oh!” Little White offered the milk tea with a smile, standing politely on the side and acting well-behaved. Those who knew him very well would realize at a glance that nothing good would happen next.

Anyway, Little White’s treachery would always succeed, it was better to enjoy the things he offered first. Chang Mu took a sip of the milk tea and asked straightforwardly, “Tell me, what are you scheming right now?”

“I want to borrow some gold from you.”

“How many?”

“Six thousand taels.”

“Pfft…” Chang Mu spit out a mouthful of milk tea.

“Oh no, maybe only five thousand taels.”

“Why do you want so much gold?”

“Save someone.”

“Who?”

“My two fathers. Who are so pitiful and swore an eternal promise to each other.”

When Little White said this, Chang Mu understood. He took out the handheld computer, looked at the market price of gold, and then converted it into cash. He stared at his own bank account and finance. “When are you going to pay me back? How will you pay me back? How will the interest be calculated? Is there a guarantor?”

Little White smiled and bluntly answered: “To be honest, I haven’t thought about how to pay you back.”

“I have a good way to let you repay the money slowly.” Chang Mu mischievously looked at Little White.

“Tell me. As long as it’s not too excessive, I can accept it.”

“Let Little Black clean the room for me every day for 30 years, and I won’t ask you to pay me back.” Since Little Black made his Little Ma mentally challenged for more than ten lifetimes, if he couldn’t have his revenge, he wouldn’t be able to call himself Mu-er!

Little White didn’t even think about it and blurted out: “No way.” As long as it was unfavorable to his elder brother, he would never do it.

Chang Mu took a step back, “Twenty years?”

“No.” Little White raised his head slightly, not compromising for a little bit .

“Ten years?”

“In your oversized head’s dream! I can clean your room for you, but Little Black absolutely can’t. It’s my fathers who I want to save. It has nothing to do with other people.” Little White turned his head and left in a fit of anger.

Chang Mu stretched out his hand, trying to make him stay, “Hey, isn’t it you who wanted to borrow the money or me? Why are you being so rude? Hey! Hey…”

Little White disappeared as soon as he went out of the door. He was in this impermanent mood, an absolutely Impermanence Ghost.

Xu Dian looked at Chang Mu dully on the bed and asked, “Do you have five thousand taels of gold?”

“I…have some…gold savings…” There were indeed several boxes of gold buried in unknown places, estimated at 10,000 taels…

“Then you should help Little White. Don’t make any messy request. Money will come and go. Why do you have to treat the child so heavily?”

“It’s inherently heavy, with a density of 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter.”

“Don’t tell me the words I still don’t understand!” Xu Dian recently learned what bank, passbooks, stock, and fund was, but he still hasn’t understood what density was.

“Uh… I want to poop. Let’s discuss it later.” Chang Mu quickly flashed into the bathroom and closed the door. It was his Ostrich Tactics.

Xu Dian quietly sighed and climbed out of the bed.

The door to Pan Pan’s room was partially opened. A soft light shot from inside. There seemed to be two people whispering inside. Xu Dian silently walked over and looked into the room through the crack… It turned out that Little White was sobbing in Pan Pan’s arms.

“I just want to save my daddies…I really want to see my daddies…”

Pan Pan stroked Little White’s long hair affectionately, “Forget it, Little White. Don’t be sad. There are always other ways. You already have five hundred taels here, and I have five hundred taels. I’ll ask for five hundred taels from Ziwen, borrow a little from Master Yue and Senior Brother Guang, um… Maybe Ox Head and Horse Face have some money too…”

“Uuuuu…but how long will it take?”

“It may take a long time. But all we have is time anyway.”

.

Xu Dian thought about it rationally for a while, but still didn’t push the door. Instead, he walked back to his room. As soon as he left, Little White stopped sobbing and withdrew from from Pan Pan’s embrace, without a single tear on his face. The two smiled mischievously at each other and made a victory gesture, “Yeah!”

Chang Mu hasn’t come out of the bathroom, Xu Dian knocked on the door and asked, “Mu-er, are you okay?”

“No, no. I’m constipated!” In fact, he stood in front of the mirror and kept spraying cologne on himself, making himself even more charming before going to bed!

The next second…

“Do you think I can’t get in if you don’t open the door?” Xu Dian unexpectedly floated in the air behind Chang Mu, reflecting himself in the mirror and staring resentfully at Chang Mu. He was like a ghost from the past that had reappeared.

Chang Mu’s body shivered, and the cologne in his hand fell to the ground. “Oh my God! Don’t scare me!” The cologne was very expensive; he quickly squatted down and picked it up.

Xu Dian turned from gloomy to fierce, pinching Chang Mu’s ear, and shouted, “You stinky brat! Hurry up and give the gold to Little White!”

“Oh, Little Ma, be gentle… I admit that I’m rich, but the money is also hard-earned!”

“Do you want to lend it to him or not?”

“Please let me do the math again!”

“Little White isn’t going to do anything bad with your gold. You are a shrewd turtle! Scrooge! You have no sense of loyalty! How did I usually teach you? Don’t enter this room if you don’t lend it to him today, get out!” Xu Dian – with all his strength – ejected Chang Mu from their little world. He closed the door and ignored Mu’er’s begging. Then he started to flip through Chang Mu’s “Little Book of Money Bank”…

In Pan Pan’s room, these two frauds held the sky mirror, observing through it.

Chang Mu finally gave in and walked to Boss King Yama’s room with a map. Pan Pan was comforting Little White, who was so pitiful with his watery red eyes. But Chang Mu clearly knew that it could all be fake. Although, no one could guarantee that this was Little White’s trickery.

Chang Mu said slowly, “Little White, this is the map where I buried the gold, you take it.”

“No, I can’t afford it.”

“You don’t have to pay it back…” Chang Mu sniffed, strongly reluctant.

“No, I’ll find another way by myself.” Little White pretended to be virtuous.

“Don’t be like this. I was joking just now, don’t be angry…We are all family.” If he refused to give the gold to Little White, he would have to endure at least a month of rejection from Little Ma. It wasn’t worth it.

At this time, Pan Pan came out to play the role of the mediator. He took the map and looked at it, smiled, and said to Little White: “It would be best that Mu Er would donate all the gold. Little White, let’s just accept it! Then we can hurry up and order the Return Yang Pearl from Kstigarbha Bodhisattva!”

Little White pretended to refuse for a while. Just when he was about to accept it, a strange breeze suddenly blew into the balcony, mixing with the fresh smell of the bamboo forest. After the wind passed, a dark shadow quietly landed.

“Who?” The three asked in unison while Chang Mu grabbed his map and hid it in his pocket.

The shadow walked quietly into the room. He wore a black cloak, with his head buried so low that people couldn’t see his face. Behind him, there were two small coffin-shaped boxes. He bowed slightly and said, “Lord Shi, hello, we meet again.”

“Oh!” Pan Pan slapped his head, suddenly realizing, and then said politely: “It turns out to be the messenger of Guanyin Bodhisattva! Twenty years ago, I would like to thank you for sending the medicine to King Yama, so that he can quickly recover. I shouldn’t just show my appreciation for your help through words.. Please allow me to let the servants go downstairs to make a pot of tea and prepare some cakes.” After speaking, he turned his head and instructed Chang Mu: “Mu-er, go make tea.”

“I’m not your servant.” Chang Mu felt that this man’s voice was familiar when he heard it and was trying to remember who this could be. He ignored Pan Pan, squatting down to see the man’s face clearly…

“Mu-Er, how can you be so rude?!” Pan Pan scolded him angrily, dragging him up and showing a bit of seriousness of a high rank.

But the messenger slightly smiled when he saw Chang Mu’s actions. He took off his cloak generously, showing his true appearance.

“Master?!” Chang Mu became stunned!

“What? This is your master?!” Pan Pan and Little White were also surprised!

Looking at Chang Mu, Chang Mu’s childish innocence burst into a coquettish manner. “Master~~ Mu-er has missed you so much!”

“Mu-er, it’s really been a long time. How are you doing?”

“It was bad before, but it’s good now!”

He turned out to be the master who exchanged Mu-er’s life. He had red hair and blue eyes, and seemed to look like a little fox…

Pan Pan saw for a while this pair of master and student who was happily seeing each other, and then stepped forward, bowed again, “May I ask Master’s honorable name.”

“Hu You. Hu Zuo’s brother.” Hu You simply explained. Facing these lovely people from the Underworld, he didn’t need to be defensive.

“Oh?” Sure enough, sure enough! There were still many similarities in appearance. No surprise, no surprise indeed.

Then Hu You smiled mysteriously and said, “Also, I am the Unknown of Fire Cloudy Mountain.”

“What?” No way?! Pan Pan was dumbfounded! Before Pan Pan could figure it out, something even more unexpected happened. Hu You opened the box behind him, and in front of everyone were two children in the size of Xu Dian, with flushed cheeks, and were sound asleep with their thumbs in their mouths. One had white curly hair and cute eyebrows like little beans; the other had soft black hair and a refreshing face.

“This– this…” Pan Pan stared at the two super cute children, and was stunned with excitement! So cute! Their plump appearance was simply cuter than the child Qiong Qiong!

“These two are the bodies I asked the Bodhisattva to make. They can be woken up by directly pouring souls into them. Moreover, they were made according to the appearances of Snow Ball and Ah Luo (Luo Zhiyao).” Hu You explained, with a smile on his face. “To be honest, Snowball is my friend, and the Method of Soul Rebirth is a relic left to me by Luo Zhiyao. At first, he hoped that I could regenerate both of them. However, there were some accidents that prevented me from completing this task, so I passed it onto the person who was destined to do it. And Master Shi, you are that destined person. In order to express my gratitude and to contribute as well, I brought these two bodies. The Bodhisattva considered that Small Ball and Ah Luo (Luo Zhiyao) will suddenly cross the distance over a thousand years. In today’s society, they will need to adopt to today’s world, so I want them to start as children and fully integrate into the new life.” After speaking, he showed a kind smile to Little White who was standing on the side.

Little White also smiled back, and couldn’t help but look back at the two children. They were what his Big Daddy and Little Daddy look like, so adorable…

The judge couldn’t help but reach out his hand, picked up the little snowball, and cuddled him in his arms. “Thank you very much. I wonder if Senior Fox can stay overnight. I will restore the souls of Snowball and Ah Luo tomorrow.”

Hu You smiled and nodded, “Alright. Then tomorrow, I can help you.”

Tomorrow arrived soon. Little White, Pan Pan, and Hu You started the Rebirth Ritual in Pan Pan’s room at four in the morning.

Little Black was like a father who was waiting outside of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of the hospital, anxiously walking around the living room. Although Pan Pan said that there was only a 0.1% chance of Little White’s soul being hurt, he was still apprehensive! He kept looking at his watch, kept grumbling, and kept trying to rush upstairs, but was stopped by Cang Qiong and Chang Mu. Later, Hu You came out and set up a powerful barrier which finally dispelled Little Black’s idea of ​​rushing upstairs. But he continued wandering downstairs.

Ten o’clock in the morning.

Chang Mu handed Little Black a glass of water and comforted him: “Here, drink some cold water to calm down.”

LIttle Black took the cup, drank it up, and continued walking around, which made everyone annoyed.

Chang Mu walked up to Cang Qiong and whispered, “Why doesn’t the hypnotic solvent have any effect? ​​Why is he still wandering?”

“I don’t know. It might be more effective to use a bat. Would you like to try it?” Cang Qiong leaned on the sofa, resting his cheeks in one hand, monitoring his ancestral grandfather. ‘So boring.’ He looked at the other side of the living room. Kong Kong and Xu Dian were competing for peeling melon seeds, and Hua Ling was doing exercises by playing the hula hoop.

At noon, Hu You went downstairs and made some desserts for Pan Pan to eat. It seemed the process was going well.

Two o’clock in the afternoon. Hu You came out and took some drinks. His expression didn’t look good.  

Little Black started to burn incense in front of the Cang family’s ancestral platform for worship. Chang Mu leaned to Cang Qiong’s ear and asked, “Whom will he worship? Is he praying for blessing from the Cang ancestor? But isn’t he the one on the platform?”

“Just let him do it.” Cang Qiong gulped down his ice cream, staring intently at the TV screen.

At six o’clock in the evening, Little Black changed into a suit of a Celestial Master, put up an array, closed his eyes, and muttered some nonsense about “heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, bless the safety of Little White, the fathers and the son a…”

Little White walked downstairs to eat, sat next to Cang Qiong, and asked, “What is Little Black doing?”

“Don’t worry about him, let’s eat.”

“Oh.”

“Is everything going well?” Cang Qiong asked.

“Snowball should be fine. Ah Luo seems to be in a bit of trouble.”

“Oh, really……”

After everyone had finished their meal, Little White went back upstairs, and Little Black still had his eyes closed, intent on his worship.

Finally, at ten o’clock in the evening, there was a loud noise from the children in the room. Hu You opened the door and said, “Done”.

Everyone went inside the room and saw a white curly-haired baby jumping on the bed, shouting, “How can this happen? Why?! Why?! No way! Hu You, you have to find a way! Help me!”

Seeing Little White sitting by the side, Little Black immediately rushed over to touch his face and asked, “Little White, are you ok?”

“Yea, I’m fine. I just came down for dinner.”

“…”

Next to Little White, another child sat. He smiled at all the people in the room and listened politely to the conversation of the adults. One was super loud and energetic; the other was surprisingly quiet. There was something strange. 

“What happened to him?” Xu Dian asked Pan Pan.

“Little White doesn’t contain Ah Luo’s seneive soul in his body, so he doesn’t have his memories.” Pan Pan felt helpless, “I just instilled in him the consciousness that a seven-year-old child should have, and of course, I fabricated a story into his mind. In his memory, we are all his family and friends.”

‘What a pity…’ Everyone thought. It was hard for them to come this far, but they still had to encounter this kind of issue.

Snowball jumped on Hu You and cried unreasonably. Hu You had no idea how to solve it either. Moreover, it was time for him to go back. He left Snowball and Ah Luo at the Cang’s residence and reluctantly left. Before leaving, he said that he would think of a way after he went back.

After Hu You left, Little White introduced everyone to Snowball. Ah Luo didn’t need any introduction anymore. When Pan Pan instilled the memory, he entered everyone’s data into Ah Luo’s memory.

Snowball looked at Little White who was as white as himself and asked curiously, “Are you really my and Ah Luo’s child?”

“Yeah. Don’t you think we look so similar?” Little White squatted down and asked with blinking eyes.

“Hey… we are very similar.” Snowball blushed and lowered his head. It turned out that he had a grown-up child with Ah Luo. He was kind of embarrassed…

After the introduction, Snowball finally memorized everyone’s names. The person with a mother’s gentle temperament was called Shi Qing, who was also the judge of the Underworld. His child was the White Impermanence of the Underworld called Little White. The black guy was the Black Impermanence called Little Black. The child who has the same height as him was Xu Dian. And the person who was holding Xu Dian was called Chang Mu. The handsome young man with glasses was called Cang Qiong. And the person who was busy eating beside him was called Kong Kong. He heard that another guy he should meet was King Yama, who was absent recently.

In an unfamiliar environment, Snowball tried his best to learn to adapt and interact with everyone. Hu You said that now was the best outcome. He shouldn’t complain anymore. If he had time to complain, it was better to hurry up and start all over with Ah Luo.

Everyone chatted until midnight. Ah Luo yawned lazily and asked Snowball, “Ball Ball, when will we go to bed today?” In Ah Luo’s mind now, as kids, Ball Ball was the most important person to him.

“Are you sleepy? Then, we should go to bed now.”

“Yeah.” Ah Luo climbed off the sofa, ready to go upstairs.

Snowball looked at Ah Luo’s tired appearance and swore in his heart that he would always be by his side to protect him!
