After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 378 Reincarnation
"Do you want to be reincarnated?"

Song Lan asked casually, and then, as if afraid the little devil wouldn't understand, added, "If you want, I'll have someone arrange it for you."

"When wandering ghosts linger in the human world for too long, they become tainted by too much of the filth of the human world. The underworld will not accept them, and the celestial masters will not tolerate them. This is indeed their fate."

Song Lan patted the little devil's head: "But I've never believed in fate."

"If I say I can let you be reincarnated, no one will dare to say no."

hiss!
Many of the wandering ghosts were taken aback by Song Lan's boastful words.

Who exactly is this woman?
Such a boastful tone.

Strangely, they inexplicably came to believe in him, as if they had no way of doubting that Song Lan could do it.

Most importantly, they were all very interested in what Song Lan said about reincarnation.

If given the chance, who would want to linger in this world as a wandering ghost?
Perhaps at first they did feel carefree and at ease.

But as time went by, they remembered less and less about this world.

They gradually lost their sense of belonging.

They even forgot why they had stayed in the first place.

They simply continue to drift aimlessly all day, waiting for the day their souls are scattered.

Now I hear people saying they can be reincarnated.

They naturally couldn't help but be tempted.

However, they dared not act rashly in front of Song Lan.

Song Lan simply asked the little ghost, "Do you want to be reincarnated?"

Seeing that the little ghost had not yet answered, the many wandering ghosts were getting increasingly anxious.

I wish I could go up to her and answer for her: I think and think and think.

What's there to hesitate about when it's such a good thing?
We have to think about it!

But the little devil shook his head: "I don't know either."

She looked up at Song Lan and asked, "Is reincarnation a good thing? If I reincarnate, will I be able to see my beautiful older sister and grandfather again?"

Upon hearing this, Song Lan looked at the old ghost.

"Maybe we can meet again, maybe we can't."

She said calmly, "But whether you say goodbye or not, you will no longer recognize each other at that time."

"Why?" the little boy asked, puzzled.

"To be reincarnated, one must first drink the Meng Po soup to forget one's past life."

Song Lan said, "So even if you meet again one day, you won't recognize each other."

"Including myself."

Even if you are reincarnated and see me again, you will not recognize me.

Upon hearing this, the little devil immediately made a decision: "Then I don't want to be reincarnated!"

All the wandering ghosts were extremely anxious.

What nonsense is this kid spouting?

They really don't know the gravity of the situation!

She actually refused such a wonderful opportunity as being reborn into a better family!
Immediately, some lonely ghosts who couldn't stand it jumped up and shouted, "My lord, my lord, she doesn't want to go, but I do!"

"Please let me reincarnate, sir."

Once the first person dares to speak up, a second one will naturally follow soon.

Before long, the ghosts started shouting that they wanted to be reincarnated.

Song Lan remained indifferent, saying nothing, yet the ghosts seemed to have their throats choked, immediately falling silent and daring not to utter a sound.

“I told you, I brought you here to be my ghost servants.”

“You naturally have the right to choose.”

"Those who do not wish to stay may leave now."

If they had heard this before, they would have been eager to leave, their hearts filled with longing.

But now that they know Song Lan can help them reincarnate, why would they still be willing to leave?

She only wished she could quickly latch onto Song Lan's coattails.

"Those who are willing to stay, as long as they do their jobs well and do not commit crimes or cheat, may have a chance to be reincarnated in the future."

Song Lan's gaze swept over the ghosts: "Even if you don't want to be reincarnated, you can become a ghost cultivator. If you are fortunate enough to be born, you can cultivate to the level of a ghost general, or even go further and become a ghost king..."

This is a very ambitious pie in the sky.

This completely ignited the burning passion in the hearts of all the ghosts.

They might be able to resist the temptation of reincarnation.

But the temptation to become a ghost cultivator, or even a ghost general or ghost king, is simply irresistible to them.

They all wished they could immediately serve Song Lan like slaves.

"...It seems that you already have a preferred choice in mind."

Song Lan smiled slightly: "Then, those who wish to stay, please clean this house first."

"I hope that when I return, the house will have been completely renovated and transformed."

"At the same time, I also hope that everyone can be a little more discreet and not make any big or strange noises, so as not to frighten the residents living nearby."

"Is it possible?"

The ghosts naturally agreed without hesitation.

Cleaning the house is a piece of cake!
The mere thought of having the chance to become a Ghost King in the future filled them with boundless energy.

They rushed to get to work.

They were afraid of not performing well enough and missing out on the opportunity.
-
"Lady Ghost!!"

Song Lan had just arrived at the West Market and was wondering where to eat when she heard Liu Wu's voice.

She was somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow at Liu Wu, who was panting and running towards her.

"Is something wrong?"

Song Lan's voice was slightly cold.

Actually, when she killed Pei Yuanshi... no, to be precise, when she sent Pei Yuanshi to his death, she was already prepared.

Whether it's Liu Wu or Su Xianyun, they would both be more or less frightened by her indifference, or even cold-bloodedness.

So she left on her own without lingering.

I never even considered going back.

Unexpectedly, Liu Wu came looking for them again.

Could it be that the Xue family's affairs are too complicated for them to handle?
Or perhaps someone was too reserved and didn't eat enough lychees, so the evil energy deeply rooted in their body wasn't completely expelled.

Song Lan thought about it a lot.

She never imagined that Liu Wu would continue to be her little follower.

Pure people, while kind-hearted, are often more clear about their likes and dislikes.

Even though Pei Yuanshi had different values ​​from them before, they had still lived under the same roof.

They fought side by side and even escaped death together.

Even if they eventually disagree, they just think about going their separate ways and not bothering each other.

Liu Wu never intended for Pei Yuanshi to die.

But Song Lan watched helplessly, or rather, induced Pei Yuanshi to his death.

In the eyes of a pure-hearted person like Liu Wu, this could be considered an unforgivable crime.

Song Lan had long been prepared that Liu Wu would be unable to face her.

did not expect--

"Lady Ghost!!"

Liu Wu ran up to Song Lan, still panting heavily.

"I've finally found you, Lady Ghost."

Liu Wu, panting, said, "But...but I'm exhausted!"

"You've been looking for me?"

Song Lan seemed confused, as if she didn't understand why Liu Wu was still willing to come looking for her.

"Yes!"

Liu Wu nodded vigorously.

"Why?" Song Lan asked bluntly, "If I kill Pei Yuanshi, aren't you afraid that if you follow me, you'll also be killed in the future?"

Liu Wu shook his head.

"I'm not afraid!" he said firmly, without hesitation.

Song Lan was even more surprised.

“I believe that even if we had to do it all over again, Brother Pei would make the same choice.”

"Even if the female ghost asked me to be the one to be sacrificed, I would do it without hesitation."

Liu Wu's words made Song Lan frown even more, puzzled.

"why?"

Song Lan: "Don't you think I'm cruel? Don't you think I clearly had the ability to stop it, clearly could have prevented anyone from sacrificing themselves, but I chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it, letting you lose your lives."

"Isn't this something that cannot be tolerated by Heaven and Earth?"

Song Lan didn't understand why Liu Wu seemed to blame her at all.

Liu Wu seemed quite surprised: "Why would I think the female ghost is cruel?"

"Even if the female ghost has the ability to stop these things, it doesn't mean she has to get involved in them."

Liu Wu said with a serious face: "I believe that the female ghost has her reasons for making this choice."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it."

"The female ghost can do whatever makes her happy."

"It's a favor that the female ghost is willing to save me."

"No one, including the female ghost, has any reason to blame her for not wanting to save her."

Liu Wu: "If those people really want to save people, they can step forward themselves and go in Pei's place, becoming the ones who are sacrificed."

Instead of blaming the female ghost and asking her to save them.

Song Lan was somewhat surprised.

"This is the first time I've heard such a statement."

She smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. At least you were right about one thing: helping is a favor, not an obligation, and not helping is also my right."

Moreover, this was the tribulation that Pei Yuanshi was destined to overcome.

Even if it doesn't happen this time, it will happen again next time.

unless--

Song Lan thought of the key to breaking Pei Yuanshi's inevitable tragic death, and a cold smile rose in her heart. She turned her head and glared at Yan Jun.

Yan Jun felt inexplicably guilty.

He had a feeling that Song Lan knew something.
But, it shouldn’t be like this!

Song Lan remained expressionless and said nothing more.

If Liu Wu is willing to follow, then so be it.

"Lady Ghost, where are you and your brother-in-law going?"

Brother-in-law?!

What the hell? !
Song Lan frowned, displeased.

Liu Wu couldn't help but feel wronged... The female ghost had already married Guard Yan, so calling him brother-in-law was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
Otherwise, what should it be called?

"go to eat."

Song Lan glared at Yan Jun, temporarily suppressing her anger.

"I heard there's a good glutinous rice bun shop in the West Market."

"I'll go try it."

Liu Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! A glutinous rice candy bun? This..."

What kind of bizarre cuisine is this?
Is it even edible?!
However, since Song Lan said he wanted to eat, he was naturally willing to risk his life to accompany him.

"My lady ghost, aren't you curious about how the Xue family's matter was ultimately resolved?"

"What happened today will probably become the talk of the town before long."

Seeing the quiet atmosphere, Liu Wu kept muttering to himself the whole way.

Unfortunately, Song Lan was a man of few words.

Yan Jun is more like a mute...

Both of them were focused on walking and neither paid any attention to him.

Liu Wu: ...

~~~

Baiji Steamed Bun Shop.

They said they came to eat glutinous rice buns, but unfortunately, they were sold out today.

"We also have crab roe buns, bamboo shoot and spicy pork buns, as well as fresh wild shepherd's purse buns and fennel and pork buns. Would you like to try some?"

"Our family also has special pickled vegetables and meatball soup."

The steamed bun shop owner enthusiastically introduced his shop's specialties, and seemed to be a kind and honest man.

but……

"This season doesn't seem to be the best time to eat crabs. Boss, do you still sell crab roe buns at your steamed bun shop?"

Song Lan smiled faintly: "The ingredients for these crab roe buns are the most troublesome to make."

"To be honest, this crab roe is not from this season. It was made last autumn. We made the crab roe sauce in advance and stored it until now."

"There aren't many left now."

The owner seemed quite honest. Song Lan raised an eyebrow, didn't investigate further, and asked the owner to bring out one of each type of bun.

"How did the female ghost know there was a steamed bun shop here?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Liu Wu looked around at the unassuming steamed bun shop.

"This place is so remote, even if the steamer is constantly producing fresh steamed buns every day, the aroma of the buns probably won't waft out."

But looking at the people dining in the restaurant, it seemed...

Also a lot.

What a weird feeling.

Song Lan gave a soft "hmm": "It's something you see in the essence of a person's soul."

"what?"

What did you see that on?

The true nature of the soul?!
Not only was Liu Wu shocked, but Yan Jun was also shocked.

What shocked Yan Jun the most was that Song Lan was... not even pretending anymore?
They just said those things so simply and directly.

"I've already told you I'm an evil spirit."

"As an evil spirit, being able to see the life of the dead and their afterlife... that should be normal, right?"

Song Lan remained indifferent.

Liu Wu: ...

Yan Jun: ...

No, this is not normal at all!
Just as Yan Jun was about to say something, Liu Wu seemed to have finally digested what Song Lan had said.

"What the female ghost said isn't wrong."

Yan Jun: ...

No? Bro, whose side are you on?!
Unfortunately, Liu Wu had no idea what Yan Jun was thinking, otherwise he would have firmly and emphatically declared: Of course I stand on the side of the female ghost!
Whatever the female ghost says, goes!
Yan Jun couldn't help but remind him, "Prying into the true nature of another's soul and revealing heavenly secrets will... incur divine retribution!"
"When mortals try to peek into the will of Heaven, Heaven is angered. What can Heaven do about it? It is simply divine retribution."

Song Lan smiled nonchalantly: "But I'm not an ordinary person."

A mocking smile played on her lips: "I am a demon!"

"What can Heaven do to me?"

Yan Jun: ...

He really couldn't refute that.

If Heaven could truly kill her, she wouldn't have been reborn today, and there wouldn't be people like them racking their brains to find ways to soothe Song Lan's resentment and quell her anger.

There was no other way. Song Lan had accumulated merit over a hundred lifetimes, and in every lifetime he was a person of great virtue. He could have become a saint in his physical body, but he chose to protect the peace of the world in every lifetime, even if it meant his body was destroyed and his cultivation was extinguished.

She, a person with countless lifetimes of merit, became a typical example of good people not being rewarded in her previous life.

He suffered torment and torture for half his life, died in agony, and even became a vengeful ghost... This was all due to the oversight of Heaven.

Of course, the underworld is also involved.
