There was a faint anticipation for him to check the results in the Book of Life and Death.
Could it really be Li Mao?
If not, how could there be such exact memories?
I really don’t understand.
Long Yubei actually went to the underworld to check the Book of Life and Death for animals.
He desperately wanted to confirm if it was true.
The Netherworld King, knowing that he wanted to check on the Li Mao he had raised, truly didn’t understand what he wanted to do, "It’s been so long, why think of this now?"
"I just want to know."
"Even if it’s the Book of Life and Death of animals, it’s not convenient for you to see, after all, this life is an animal, the next might be a human, tracing back through generations is long."
"That’s the case." Long Yubei had to reveal why he wanted to know, "Lili dreamt of the Li Mao twice and even drew its portrait, I guessed, could she possibly be the reincarnation of that Li Mao, so I want to know, I hope father can relieve the trouble in my heart."
The Netherworld King flipped through the Book of Life and Death and looked, and from his expression, Long Yubei saw that he was first surprised, then shocked, and finally his expression turned calm.
"She is indeed the reincarnation of that Li Mao, the Li Mao you raised originally had its own spirit, her own self isn’t the soul of that Li Mao, the Li Mao was just her host body, her original self has another identity."
Long Yubei pressed, "Another identity? Who is she?"
"I can’t tell you that, it really is beyond my expectations, no wonder she didn’t scatter her soul even after severe punishment." The Netherworld King spoke no more. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel{f}ire.net
Seeing that he couldn’t get more from his father, Long Yubei returned to the mortal world.
He pushed open the door to Gu Lili’s room and saw her sitting on the bed reading a book.
Seeing him, Gu Lili put the book aside, "Do you have an answer now?"
Long Yubei moved forward and sat by her bed, since she wanted to know the answer, Gu Lili didn’t mind him sitting close to her, "It can’t really be true, can it?"
"My father didn’t let me see for myself, he told me, he said you are indeed the reincarnation of that Li Mao, but that Li Mao was just your host body, you weren’t born as that Li Mao, rather, the Li Mao was inhabited by you, and said, after the Li Mao died, then you were reincarnated into the current human. I guess you were trapped inside that Li Mao’s body, unable to escape your soul, surely no one wants to be bound in an un-cultivated cat’s body."
Hearing this, Gu Lili became puzzled, "I heard Chang Zhi once say, the Li Mao fell into a well and died, after that you never kept small animals again, that means, if I really am that Li Mao, I should be older than you, why am I younger than you?"
"Who told you that the one who dies first must reincarnate first?" Long Yubei raised an eyebrow, "After the Li Mao died, it had to go through the process to reincarnate, waiting for the right time, it might wait a few years before it’s its turn, or perhaps even longer, the timing is uncertain. Whereas Lin Yueer and I directly drank Mengpo Soup and jumped into the Reincarnation Road without waiting."
"Then what was I originally?"
"My father only mentioned you have another identity, and he exclaimed wondering how you endured severe punishment without your soul scattering, but he didn’t tell me what that identity is." Long Yubei’s eyes soft with affection, "So you are actually my beloved, I really had no idea."
"You shouldn’t be making up lies to deceive me, right?" she asked suspiciously.
Long Yubei raised his hand, "I swear to the heavens, if I fabricate a single lie, may I meet a terrible end..."
Gu Lili kicked him lightly with her foot, "Shut up, who let you make such a heavy oath!"
