Chapter 206 - 205: Becoming a Disciple
Gu Youyou took over the conversation and said, "But the King of Hell isn’t one for rules. Newly deceased souls must report to the King of Hell within three days of their death to have a chance at reincarnation. Tonight is the last night, and if Doctor Zhou misses this window, he will lose his chance at reincarnation and become an unsupported wandering spirit, eventually disappearing. Yuancheng, you wouldn’t want Doctor Zhou to turn into a wandering spirit, would you?"
Gu Youyou was an atheist. In order to console the somewhat out-of-control Yuancheng, she had to make herself sound like a fortune-teller, seriously making up stories.
After all, Yuancheng was just a ten-year-old child, and he was dumbfounded by Gu Youyou’s theory, almost completely believing it.
"Really... really?" Hope shone in his eyes as he looked at Gu Youyou expectantly.
Gu Youyou signaled to Qin Changlin with her eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, tonight, three days ago, was the day Master left us. If he doesn’t depart today, he won’t be able to reincarnate. Yuancheng, let Master leave in peace."
With the assurance of his revered senior brother, Yuancheng finally completely believed it.
He sniffed and wiped away his tears with his sleeve, a trembling smile appearing on his lips as he said, "Alright, Master, Yuancheng won’t cry, Yuancheng won’t be sad. In his next life, Master must be born into a good family, become a high official, and enjoy endless glory, wealth, and prestige, never again having to run around day and night, suffering such a tragic death as he did in this life."
Doctor Zhou had an accident while traveling by carriage at night; it hit a large rock and accidentally tumbled into a ravine.
