Chapter 251: Mystery of the Past
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mu Chen planned to go to the netherworld to turn himself in.
What awaited him was the netherworld’s harshest sentence.
As Shen Chun looked at Mu Chen’s sincere gaze, her heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps it was because Mu Chen was already a mortal, but his gaze and temperament were different from before. It was a very innocent gaze without any evilness.
She remembered that someone had told her before that Mu Chen had a very stubborn temperament. In Shen Chun’s impression, he always had a very stubborn and sinister gaze.
Now, he seemed to have become a different person, more like the Mu Chen who had been with Shen Chun since they were young.
The jade seal had appeared in the modern world in her previous incarnation as well.
Shen Chun only remembered the most painful part of her previous incarnation, which happened to be the part that had something to do with Mu Chen.
She regarded him with hatred and unhappiness, but she forgot that the key to her previous incarnation’s memories might be with him.
“Chunchun, take over Langcang Mountain and make it better, just like in the past…” At this point, Mu Chen suddenly stopped.
No one wanted to recall that memory.
To Mu Chen’s surprise, Shen Chun actually took the jade seal.
The jade seal suddenly emitted an orange glow in Shen Chun’s hand. Then, it melted into Shen Chun’s palm almost instantly, leaving only a lotus-shaped red mark on her palm.
“I promise you I will.” Shen Chun nodded at Mu Chen and said, “1 also forgive you for everything you did before. Previously, I thought that you were treacherous and would do anything for your own benefit, but now, you used all your cultivation to repair the seal at the back of the mountain and still care about all the commoners, so you don’t seem that wicked anymore. I’m willing to help you continue managing Langcang Mountain, so you don’t have to worry, but 1 have a condition.”
“Tell me.” Mu Chen was so excited that his voice was trembling. “I’m willing to accept any condition.”
Shen Chun glanced at Mu Chen sharply and said, “Tell me, what was my background like before? Why was I called Bai Xia, and why is Shi Lan one of Fu Shi’s souls?”
Mu Chen was shocked. He had never thought that Shen Chun would ask such a question one day. With her background, she shouldn’t fail to remember this.
However, when he saw Shen Chun’s serious expression, he still explained her background seriously.
After the incident with Shen Chun’s sect back then, Mu Chen had once used a forbidden technique to go to the netherworld to ask about her situation.
Unexpectedly, Shen Chun didn’t go to the netherworld to reincarnate. Instead, she stayed in the netherworld and Hades actually healed her. Later on, after Shen Chun woke up, she actually didn’t feel any surprise about this, as if these were all ordinary things to her.
Mu Chen asked around and found out that Shen Chun was actually the child of the netherworld’s Valkyrie and her father was the former Sect Master. It was no wonder that Shen Chun was talented in everything.
Shen Chun’s parents had been imprisoned because of a riot in the early years. Later on, their whereabouts became unknown. Some said that they had been mercilessly killed by the enemy, while others said that they were living in seclusion in the mountains and never returned to the mortal world ever again.
However, Hades had always taken good care of Shen Chun and treated her as his own daughter.
That calamity made Hades’ heart ache. He personally stepped forward to pacify the riots on Langcang Mountain, and at the same time, he cast the crudest curse on them. Once their souls entered the netherworld, they wouldn’t have a good ending.
After Shen Chun woke up, she lost a lot of her memories because she was injured too severely. Under the care of Hades, she lived in the netherworld for hundreds of years. Over the past few hundred years, she gradually started to yearn for life in the human world.
Although she had already cultivated for hundreds of years, she still had a mischievous soul. Sometimes, she would secretly sneak into the human world from the netherworld.
That was when Shi Lan appeared.
Shi Lan was in charge of the order of the human world. As the manager of the border between the human world and the netherworld, those who didn’t know him always thought that he was a fierce and evil beast.
In the beginning, Shen Chun trembled in fear whenever she interacted with him. After interacting with him for a long time, she realized that he felt lonely too. Coincidentally, he was gentle and handsome, so Shen Chun developed feelings for him. After a long period of time, the two of them made the promise to be together forever.
However, because Shi Lan was forbidden from developing feelings for anyone, he was sent to reincarnation and demoted to a mortal. He could only return after nine lifetimes..
