Su Anrong stood calmly beside me, took my hand, and whispered in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "Wife, I need to discuss something with the two Ghost Messengers. You take the kids outside first."
"Daddy, are you going to fight? Then I'll move my bed outside!" Rice exclaimed, eagerly finding a few invisible beds in a corner and, to everyone's astonishment, began moving them out.
"Mommy, let's go outside first."
I was more than happy to oblige. I snatched the mini bed from Rice's hands and said, "I'll help you carry it," before dashing into the living room.
Rice slyly hid his hands behind his back and walked up to me. Suddenly, he jumped onto the sofa and crawled onto my lap, biting my ear as he asked, "Mommy, did Daddy deliberately send you away?"
"Shh," I quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "You shouldn't say that."
Rice immediately lowered his voice to a whisper. "I have a good idea that can keep Black and White Impermanence from finding that soul."
"What idea?" Could it be that my ring had no secrecy at all if even Rice knew Siyuan's soul was inside?
"Let that ghost be my gardener."
I had just hoped that Rice could come up with a good plan.
"Mommy, don't you believe me? If it goes to plant vegetables for me, the Ghost Messengers won't be able to smell it because my garden is isolated from the world."
"No thanks." Asking Siyuan to plant vegetables was less preferable than having her stay in my ring. I thought the best course of action now was to find the Qiao Family.
We hadn't talked for long when Su Anrong came out with Black and White Impermanence. Black and White Impermanence respectfully cupped his hands in farewell behind him.
Black Wuchang said, " Lord Zunshang, we won't disturb you any longer. We'll come back in five days."
White Impermanence shyly followed Black Wuchang, remaining silent. After bidding farewell, the two vanished from sight.
I was utterly stunned; just moments ago, they had been at odds, and now they had reached a peaceful agreement so quickly.
Su Anrong explained to me, “I gave them five A Thousand Gold Pills. They won’t disturb us for the next five days. We need to resolve Chen Siyuan’s matter within that time.”
I was about to ask what a pill worth a thousand gold meant when Rice suddenly shouted angrily, “Daddy, how could you give away the pills I gave you? Those were meant for you and Mommy! Now there are only five left, and there won’t be any more!”
I was even more confused about what Garlic Paste and the pills meant for me.
Seeing my bewilderment, Su Anrong quietly explained, “Those pills are essentially aphrodisiacs. Do you want some? I can go find Black and White Impermanence.”
“Ah, no, no, no!” I exclaimed three times in a row, gripping Su Anrong’s hand tightly, fearing he might actually go. “I don’t need that kind of thing!”
Rice, what kind of nonsense are you pulling? Faced with Su Anrong’s tempting offer, I had to muster a lot of determination to hold my ground, and now you want to give me an aphrodisiac?
“Mommy, why don’t you need it? So many people are fighting over it! It’s not every day that there’s a medicine that humans can take! My herbalist said that this medicine allows men to go at least five times in one night!”
Rice, what are you babbling about? I couldn’t listen any longer.
“Son, your daddy doesn’t need medicine to go seven times in one night. Thank you very much.”
Su Anrong’s words made me want to spit blood. They truly were father and son; both excelled at telling tall tales.
“Can you two stop rambling and think of a way to help Siyuan? We only have five days!” Why was no one else feeling anxious?
Su Anrong patted my shoulder and said, “Honey, actually there is a Shortcut for this matter, but it depends on whether your friend is willing to do it.”
"Why didn't you mention Shortcut earlier?"
"Even though it's Shortcut, looking at your friend's temper, I bet she would refuse," Su Anrong sighed.
My appetite was thoroughly piqued, and I replied irritably, "Stop beating around the bush and just say it."
"She needs to seduce Qiao Lianjiu, making him willingly give her the ring and marry her. It's that simple."
"This..." My jaw nearly dropped. Considering how Zhang Mengdi was firmly rejected by Qiao Lianjiu, seducing him was no easy task. Moreover, this was Chen Siyuan's man; how could she possibly do such a thing?
"Is there no other way?"
"There is. Like I told you before: beat him up, rob him. But the consequence is that once you get him, you'll be hunted down by the Qiao Family for life. Well, although their ghost-catching skills aren't that impressive, being chased by them wouldn't be pleasant either."
Of course, being chased by anyone wouldn't be pleasant!
"Wheat, I'm willing."
Just as I was feeling troubled, a faint light flashed, and Chen Siyuan once again emerged from my ring. Her spirit was almost dissipating, yet she still managed to come out.
"Siyuan, hurry back inside!"
"Wheat, for my mother, no matter what, I want to stay in this world. I will pursue Qiao Lianjiu. Help me come up with some ideas; you always have the best tricks. As long as I can catch him, I'll do anything you ask."
"But look at you now; how can you chase after him?" With her spirit nearly fading away, it would truly be a miracle if she could catch up to him.
"As long as she is willing, I can ensure her soul remains intact for five days. However, this will cause significant damage to her Spirit. If by midnight on the fifth day she has not married Qiao Lianjiu, she will truly face annihilation, with no chance of reincarnation."
"I am willing." Before I could respond, Siyuan spoke up, her gaze filled with unprecedented determination.
"Since that's the case, I'll get started." Su Anrong said, turning to Rice. "Son, bring it over."
"What are you bringing?" A sense of foreboding crept over me.
But Rice cheerfully replied, "Yes, Dad!" and then vanished in a puff of smoke.
Before long, he bounced back into view, holding a jar of black liquid and several cross-shaped blades.
Oh my goodness, what are they planning to do?
I quickly stepped in front of Chen Siyuan and asked Su Anrong, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, Mommy. We're going to mold her soul. Her spirit is almost dissipating, and we need to fill it with some Soul Molding Water so she can stay in the human realm a bit longer."
Though I only partially understood what was happening, I still felt concerned. "But why do you have so many blades?"
"Do you think it's easy to defy the laws of life and death and linger in the human world? Those vengeful spirits you hear about stay here because of lingering resentment or unfulfilled wishes. But regardless, they still belong to the Spirit realm and are invisible to ordinary people. If your friend wants to entice Qiao Lianjiu, she needs to have a physical presence. What we can do is reshape a physical form based on her spirit, but this process will be quite painful."
Su Anrong looked at Chen Siyuan with a serious expression. "If you can endure it, you'll be able to remain in the human realm for five more days. After that, your fate will depend on you."
Chen Siyuan had a look of determination on her face. "I can endure it; just start."
Seeing that I was still very nervous, Rice smiled and said, "Mommy, it's okay. It's not as exaggerated as Daddy said. It's just uncovering her Crown of Heaven and pouring in the Soul Molding Water. It won't hurt much."
Just uncovering her Crown of Heaven is all it is?
Rice, are you really trying to comfort me?
I could clearly see that Chen Siyuan, who had previously claimed she could handle it, had a transparent body that trembled slightly. Gritting her teeth, she said, "It's okay, let's do it."
Rice, filled with enthusiasm, grabbed the Soul Molding Water and ran over, her body slowly lifting off the ground until she hovered just above Chen Siyuan. She then steadied herself and called out, "Lizard Spirit, you two, come help me with something."
I walked over and took Chen Siyuan's hand. I was grateful that I could still touch her at this moment; her hand trembled with fear. "Wheat, thank you."
Without even greeting us, Rice plunged a cross-shaped tool into Chen Siyuan's head and forcefully pried it open. Amidst Siyuan's agonized cries of pain, her Crown of Heaven was revealed.
