"How much do you think is appropriate?"
"Plant more. I saw someone’s house covered with bamboo forests, it looked really beautiful, I liked it a lot."
"Whose house?" He turned his head and asked, "Where did you see it, I’ll go take a look."
"You probably can’t get there." Gu Lili propped her chin, "in the courtyard of the Ninth Prince of the underworld, I ended up there by accident, luckily survived."
"How did you go there?" Su Changzhi stood up to wash his hands.
She also stood up and briefly told him the story, "That Ninth Prince is really nice, not only did he let me go, but he also helped me."
Su Changzhi smiled, "That’s unusual, right? Did he take a liking to you, otherwise why would he help you?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel fire.net
"Stop it." Gu Lili shrugged and sat down, "I heard from the Ghost Messenger that he’s already married, has a wife. Probably he took pity on me seeing how scared I was."
Su Changzhi wiped his hands and sat down opposite her to make tea, "What does the Ninth Prince look like?"
"Handsome, really good-looking, I was stunned. But he looks..." She leaned closer and whispered, "even more beautiful than a woman, yet it’s not that he looks feminine, he doesn’t at all. He appears so aloof, that kind of man, you can only admire from a distance."
Su Changzhi smiled ambiguously, "Are you afraid of him?"
"Yes." Gu Lili didn’t hide her genuine thoughts, "I’m mostly afraid of anyone who can control my life and death. If I’m not afraid, it means they don’t pose a threat to my life, such people are either my friends, my relatives, my lovers."
"I heard that marriages in the underworld are all decided by the Netherworld King, his sons have no right to refuse."
"I don’t know about that..." Gu Lili giggled, "Someone like me, who am I to know such things."
"I want to ask you a question, if a Dead Soul forcefully possesses a normal person, will the punishment be heavier if they are caught by an underworld messenger?"
"Theoretically, it should be, but..." He changed the subject, "if a Dead Soul isn’t caught, then everything is fine."
"But, the ultimate destiny for a Dead Soul wandering the mortal world, however long it takes, is still to be reincarnated, that’s the right path, right?"
Su Changzhi nodded, "Correct, doing evil or accumulating blessings in one’s lifetime affects the quality of the next reincarnation."
Hearing this, Gu Lili halted the words she was about to say. She initially wanted to ask for his help regarding Gu Xichen’s issue, but now she reconsidered.
"Do you need any help with anything?"
Gu Lili denied, "No."
Su Changzhi narrowed his eyes, "If you need help possessing someone, just say it. I can help you."
"There is such a matter, but since it affects your next reincarnation, I could find a mischievous brat for the job."
"I’ll do it." Su Changzhi spoke out, making it clear to her, "Possession also requires conditions. First, the person being possessed must be physically weak, lacking in vital energy. Secondly, the Dead Soul should possess substantial energy and compatible magnetic fields. Opposing energies won’t work, there are many Dead Souls yet not many suitable brats for possession. Besides, there have been major actions in the underworld lately."
"What major actions?"
"It’s said that the Netherworld King has ordered an increase in Ghost Messengers to capture Dead Souls who have not reported to the underworld. I estimate, from now on, either Dead Souls will hide very carefully, or they won’t dare to show themselves or they’ll be caught. Just wait and see, there will be far fewer Dead Souls around."
