Wang Wei was completely captivated, as if his eyes were glued to the Clay Bodhisattva, unable to look away.
As soon as the Clay Bodhisattva appeared, it said, "Running into you two is truly bad luck."
Ke'er pinched me. I shifted my gaze away.
I looked at Ke'er and said, "I wasn't looking." Ke'er shot me a glare, and I fell silent.
"Saning Brother, you really are ruthless."
"Don't call me brother; I have no sister like you."
Damn it, I didn't expect a beautiful girl to crawl out of the ground.
After I spoke, Wang Wei said, "If Saning won't be your brother, then I will. I'm your brother Wang Wei. What's your name, little sister?"
I was somewhat dazed, not expecting that the statue resembling Third Uncle would turn out to be such a spirited girl.
I had enough of this situation; my head felt a bit dizzy. Leaning against Ke'er, I slowly made my way home.
I asked Wang Wei to take Jianjian back.
But before long, I heard Wang Wei's scream. That kid had just kicked for over a minute—much harsher than my five or six minutes.
The Clay Bodhisattva had given Wang Wei a beating.
I didn't think too much about it; it seemed that the Clay Bodhisattva might need my blood to "nourish its spirit" before it could transform into a human.
Since Third Uncle wasn't a bad person, then this Clay Bodhisattva left behind shouldn't be a bad one either.
I clung to Ke'er; her softness made me feel safe.
At that moment, I noticed another faceless spirit seemingly watching me intently.
I wrapped my arms around Ke'er’s waist, resting my head on her shoulder.
Ke'er’s face was flushed as she asked me, “Husband, are you comfortable like this?”
I replied that I was. I just felt a bit dizzy and thought that if she kissed me, it would be better. I originally said it casually, but to my surprise, Ke'er actually leaned in and kissed me.
I looked at Ke'er in astonishment.
Ke'er gazed back at me and asked, “Husband, does that feel better?”
At that moment, I realized that it wasn’t just about being with Ke'er; I was genuinely moved. I nodded without saying anything, tightening my embrace around her. A woman like her shouldn’t have to suffer any harm.
“Saning Brother, wait for me.”
“Don’t call me that; I’m not your brother.”
With the matter regarding Third Uncle settled, we returned home. My parents didn’t say much, and I didn’t ask either because I had already understood most of it.
Moreover, knowing my dad’s personality, even if I asked, he wouldn’t say much.
I told my mom that I would be going back to the city for work the next day. At first, she was reluctant, saying there was everything at home. However, it was only after my dad spoke up that she agreed. On the day of my departure, my mom fussed over me, reminding me to eat well and dress warmly while warning me not to make friends with bad people.
I promised her one by one.
When I left, my dad saw me off. Just before I left, he said, “Saning, make sure to come back and visit your grandma when you have time.”
I nodded and then left my hometown for the city where I worked.
It was nighttime when I departed. Since I drove at night and arrived during the day, Ke'er and I sat together in the car.
Ke'er said, “Husband, what if one day I leave you…”
"Ke'er," I interrupted, "I won't let you leave me."
Suddenly, Ke'er smiled, but Jianjian came to find me in the middle of the night, saying that Zhang, the chubby guy, had sent another message. He said he couldn't wait that long anymore; it might only be three days.
I could tell that Jianjian seemed a bit anxious. Zhang had really put a lot into his feelings for Jianjian; at least I believed it was true love.
But then, Zhang ended up getting involved with Evil Being.
Jianjian asked me what we should do.
Honestly, I didn't know either. Perhaps Third Funeral was still waiting for me somewhere. Regardless, there were some things I had to face.
This grudge with Evil Being needed to be settled.
The biggest knot in my heart was the Revival Pearl.
I told Jianjian to rest first and that we could talk about anything in the morning.
The next day, after getting off Wang Wei's car, I was surprised to run into Zhang Dexin. He called out to me.
Since my eyes hadn't returned to normal yet, I was still wearing those large sunglasses.
I responded politely and called him Uncle Zhang.
I wondered if Zhang Dexin knew about Zhang's current situation.
"You finally came back! I've been looking for you these past few days."
"What did you want to find me for?"
Zhang Dexin told me he had found a lead on Zhang and even conveyed an apology from him. Hearing this from Zhang Dexin made it clear that he knew what had happened to Zhang.
I was momentarily at a loss for words. The harm that Zhang had caused me couldn't simply be resolved with an apology. Of course, I wasn't holding a grudge; it was just that I couldn't let it go in my heart for the time being.
I said goodbye to Zhang Dexin and walked ahead.
But Zhang Dexin kept following me, saying, "Saning, you must save Borlun!"
At that moment, Wang Wei and the others had already entered the house.
I replied to Zhang Dexin, "What can I use to save him?" referring to Hong Zhu Hao.
Zhang Dexin said, "But Borlun said you're the only one who can save him." After that statement, I fell silent. I told him I was leaving and asked him not to follow me. However, Zhang Dexin continued to pursue me. I finally said I would think about it and would call him.
Only then did Zhang Dexin relent. To be honest, I felt quite heavy-hearted regarding the situation with Zhang.
After Zhang Dexin left, I entered Wang Wei's home.
Since I hadn't found a place to stay yet, I was temporarily crashing at Wang Wei's place.
Wang Wei's house was nice, over a hundred square meters.
Chen San, Xiaoru, Clay Bodhisattva, and I all came in.
Gradually, my emotions became unstable. I glanced at Jianjian and reassured her that everything was fine. Jianjian still had no idea what was going on with Zhang.
I found it hard to speak.
Ke'er left at dawn but said she would come back to find me in the evening.
Once we arrived at Wang Wei's house, he remarked that something felt off.
I asked, "What's wrong?"
"Wang Wei said, 'The house has changed.' His words immediately put me on alert. Changed? What had changed? Wang Wei continued, 'Saning, it seems someone has been in the house. We might have been robbed.'
I urged him to look around quickly.
Just then, Clay Bodhisattva called out to me, 'Saning Brother.'
I shot her a glance and replied, 'Don't call me brother; I've told you many times.'
Clay Bodhisattva pouted, 'But I just like calling you Saning Brother!' Hearing her voice, I suddenly felt overwhelmed.
I said, 'From now on, unless it's important, don't talk to me.'
However, Clay Bodhisattva seemed to read my mind and said, 'Saning Brother, I know you want to see Sister Revival Pearl, right?'
Xiaoru suddenly stood up, and so did Chen San.
We all stared at Clay Bodhisattva in unison.
Clay Bodhisattva said, 'Saning Brother, there’s a legend about a place with a river called the River of Despair.'
As soon as she mentioned the River of Despair, I felt a wave of tension wash over me because Lin Li had also told me that there was a Reincarnation Tree there.
Ordinary people can only witness the blooming or falling of flowers once in their lifetime.
My expression turned serious as I waited for Clay Bodhisattva to continue.
But unexpectedly, Xiaoru interjected, 'It's said that the flower from the Reincarnation Tree can grant someone rebirth if picked.'
Upon hearing Xiaoru's words, Clay Bodhisattva looked displeased and huffed, 'That was clearly what I was going to say!'
At that moment, Wang Wei had already begun searching the house."
Xiaoru added another comment, but she said it was just a legend.
However, I didn't think so, because Lin Li had told me that the River of Despair was real, and that tree also existed.
I recalled that night when Lin Li seemed to have never told me where the entrance to the River of Despair was.
My expression shifted between uncertainty and determination. If I truly needed the Reincarnation Flower to obtain the Revival Pearl, then a trip to the River of Despair would be worth it.
Suddenly, the phrase "eternal damnation" came to my mind.
In an instant, I fixed my gaze on Xiaoru.
Eternal damnation meant that the soul would rot away forever and ever.
Clay Bodhisattva suddenly laughed and said to Xiaoru, "This time you are mistaken; this is not a legend, it truly exists."
After Clay Bodhisattva spoke, I eagerly asked, "Where is the River of Despair?"
