Chapter 191 Murong

"Lü Zhe wrote the marriage certificate and relied on heaven and earth. He not only betrayed this woman, but also deceived heaven and earth."

Zhao Li looked at Zheng Wenjie firmly: "Tonight at midnight, he will return his life to this woman and to this world."

"Ajie, are you really going to stop me like Xia Dongqing?"

Zheng Wenjie looked at Zhao Li indifferently, then looked at Xia Dongqing and asked, "Dongqing, do you want to stop Zhao Li for Lu Zhe? If you want to stop him, I will help you."

Xia Dongqing's chest heaved. He understood what Ya said. He could also understand why Zhao Li was so persistent, but Lu Zhe was a life after all.

Xia Dongqing looked at Zhao Li with difficulty and advised: "Zhao Li, can you reconsider the mistakes that Lu Zhe made in his previous life? This... He is already dead, and he has already drunk Meng Po soup, so he should be a brand new person."

"He is still him! Haven't you seen them entangled for generations? Why didn't you say something like that at the time!" Zhao Li interrupted Xia Dongqing loudly and scolded.

Xia Dongqing wiped his face in pain, opened his mouth, but was too confused to speak.

"There are people on both the palm and the back of your hand. It's not easy to choose, right?" Zheng Wenjie smiled.

"Zhao Li, why do you have to take Lu Zhe's life? Since that ghost... Yanyan, if she wants to kill people for revenge, she will kill him when she finds him."

"Lü Zhe died tonight. Yanyan got her revenge and was satisfied. But what about Su Wenxiu? They were just married, but Lü Zhe paid with his life because of his mistakes in his previous life. She became a widow. Who should Su Wenxiu hate? Yanyan? Or you? Or should she hate the whole family and also Xia Dongqing."

Zhao Li shook his head and said sarcastically, "Isn't it Su Wenxiu who is helping Yanyan in all this? If it wasn't for Su Wenxiu, why would Lu Zhe go with her to find the witch?"

"If she hadn't communicated with the spirit of the underworld, Yanyan wouldn't have found Lu Zhe. Everything has its own cause and effect, and she should just accept her fate."

"Since she can forget her childhood sweetheart and fall in love with Lu Zhe, then she can naturally forget Lu Zhe and fall in love with a new man, right?"

Zheng Wenjie raised his eyebrows. Zhao Li had obviously made up his mind. After thinking about it, he spoke.

"Since Lu Zhe wrote the marriage certificate in his previous life, let him acknowledge it in this life, and let Yanyan live with the two of them."

"As long as Yanyan doesn't kill anyone and turn into a ghost, I will be the one to make the decision and won't let the underworld interfere with them."

Zhao Li's originally tense and resolute mood relaxed, and he frowned and said, "Lv Zhe and Su Wenxiu lived together forever in their previous life, so he should die earlier in this life."

"I have already prepared a wedding room in the underworld. When Yanyan's resentment dissipates, I will arrange for them to reincarnate."

Xia Dongqing looked up at Zhao Li and said, "Zhao Li, let the three of them be together."

"Yan Yan has been waiting for hundreds of years. Waiting for a few more decades would be the best of both worlds. You can then continue with the preparations you made in the underworld." Ya also advised.

"I think it's a good idea. This way Dongqing is doing his best for his friend. You go ask Yanyan first, Zhao Li. I think she will agree." Zheng Wenjie looked at Zhao Li.

Zhao Li met Zheng Wenjie's gaze and understood that Zheng Wenjie had already made up his mind to let Yanyan wait for a few more decades until Lu Zhe passed away.

"I understand. I'll do as you say." Zhao Li had no choice but to surrender.

"Okay, Dongqing, don't worry about it. Just go back, go back." Zheng Wenjie stood up and said.

"Ajie, why did you bring Yu'er here as well?" Zhao Li had no choice but to give up on this opportunity and asked Yu'er, who was sitting on Zheng Wenjie's neck.

"Protect me, I'm powerless, what if I encounter danger?" Zheng Wenjie laughed.

Zhao Li and Ya rolled their eyes, but Xia Dongqing looked at Yu'er curiously: "Ajie, was it Yu'er who tied Zhao Li to the stake?"

"Zhao Li even told you such an embarrassing thing." Zheng Wenjie denied with a smile: "It's not Yu'er. Yu'er is so cute and gentle, how could she do such a rude thing."

Before leaving, Zheng Wenjie looked at Zhao Li and said naturally, "Let them go, I'll give you what you want."

When it was dark, Zhao Li returned to the villa. Xia Dongqing looked at Zhao Li impatiently and asked, "Zhao Li, what happened?"

Zhao Li smiled and shook his head: "Yan Yan agreed."

Xia Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

"I only mentioned it once and didn't force Yanyan, but she agreed." Zhao Li sighed.

"What do you mean?" Ya asked curiously.

"During the day, Su Wenxiu found the witch who helped her in the past and asked her to let her meet Yanyan."

"What kind of witch is that? She's so powerful?" Ya Yile said, "Even a great Zhao Li like you has to rely on rhinoceros horn incense that can communicate with ghosts and gods."

Zhao Li rolled his eyes at her and continued, "Su Wenxiu wants to make a deal with Yanyan. She... wants to pay with her life."

"Yanyan gave up. She understood this kind of feeling and could understand Su Wenxiu."

“So once I said it, she agreed.”

March th

After more than a month of uneventful life, Xia Dongqing started to worry again early in the morning.

"Dongqing, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Wenjie went downstairs, glanced at Xia Dongqing and asked.

"Ajie, didn't we take a job a few days ago? It was really a fierce ghost, but when Ya, Zhao Li and I were chasing it, someone got there first and beat the ghost to death."

"Isn't this a good thing? I earned the reward without any effort."

Xia Dongqing scratched his hair frantically: "But I have to save eighty-one evil spirits. I finally thought I was going to break zero. Although I made some money, I still feel very uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, you are no different from a normal person now. If there is an evil ghost, catch it. If there isn't one, just live your life in peace." Zheng Wenjie advised and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and took a sip.

"Where are they?"

"Zhao Li didn't come back with us. After Ya and I came back in the middle of the night, we stayed in the room with Yu'er and watched Korean dramas all night."

"By the way, Ajie, if Yu'er had gone with us yesterday, we would have been able to catch the evil spirit."

After more than a month of getting along, Xia Dongqing is no fool, especially Zhao Li and Ya, they always give in to Yu'er.

The Korean drama that Ya was watching attracted Yu'er's attention, and Yu'er dragged her to watch it for three days and three nights, which made Ya so depressed that she wanted to vomit when she heard the Oppa language.

The feeling that Yu'er gave Zheng Wenjie was different from all the ghosts he had seen before. Although she rarely spoke, Yu'er's occasional unintentional actions would always make Xia Dongqing feel a chill down his spine.

Zheng Wenjie patted Xia Dongqing with a smile and said, "I think you should stop dwelling on what happened yesterday. But if you can find a way to get Yu'er to go with you, I agree."

"Ajie, really? That's absolutely no problem. Ya and Yu'er get along very well." Xia Dongqing said with a happy face.

While they were chatting, Zhao Li returned to the villa.

"Zhao Li, you're back. How's it going? Have you found any clues?" Xia Dongqing asked.

Zhao Li nodded, looked at Zheng Wenjie and said, "Ajie, it was Murong who intercepted and killed the evil spirit last night."

"Murong?" Xia Dongqing blinked and looked at Zhao Li, waiting for the next words. "This is not his jurisdiction, what does he want to do?" Zheng Wenjie responded casually.

Zhao Li shrugged his shoulders. He tracked down Murong and discussed with him yesterday before making the next decision. Now, looking at Xia Dongqing and Zheng Wenjie, he didn't know what to feel.

"He said he would come to visit you this afternoon and hoped you could help him."

"Zhao Li, who is Murong? In the jurisdiction...he is also a ferryman. Since you know him, why was he hiding yesterday?" Xia Dongqing asked.

Zheng Wenjie explained to Xia Dongqing: "Murong, he was a member of the royal family of the Xianbei Yan Kingdom during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. His jurisdiction was in the next city."

Xia Dongqing counted the time from the Xianbei Yan Kingdom to the present with his fingers, and asked in surprise: "Zhao Li, are you familiar with this Murong? How long have you lived?"

Zhao Li shrugged at Xia Dongqing and said with a smile: "Guess."

In the afternoon, when Murong came to the house, Xia Dongqing had already returned to the college.

Zheng Wenjie nodded to Murong and motioned for him to speak.

Murong sat on the sofa and said grimly, "Commander, Hades... should have discovered what I did."

Zheng Wenjie hummed: "I suppressed it. You are quite brave to do such a thing under her nose."

"I'm capturing evil ghosts to refine ghost pills, and making deals with other ferrymen in exchange for their lifespans to extend the life of my lover." Murong knew that Zheng Wenjie knew everything, but he still explained.

"I know you have been doing this kind of thing for a long time, but why has it become such a big deal recently that even Pluto was alarmed?" Zheng Wenjie asked, supporting his chin.

Murong was feeling distressed, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Lifespan is not endless. My wife has lived for a long time. The lifespan I traded with can only allow her to live for fifty years out of a hundred years."

"To refine a ghost pill, you need seventy-two evil ghosts, and it may not succeed. I... have no other choice."

"I don't know how long I can hold on. This time I came to see the commander. I want to know if I can be of any use and get his help to solve this matter."

Zheng Wenjie raised his eyes and looked at Murong: "Take it out."

Murong nodded when he heard this, took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms, placed it on the table, and opened the box in front of Zheng Wenjie.

A purple-red fluorescent light flashed, and a glowing ghost pill was quietly placed in the middle of the box.

Zheng Wenjie picked up the ghost pill and looked at it for a moment. Yin energy emerged beside him. Yu'er tilted her head and stared at the ghost pill in Zheng Wenjie's hand.

"want to?"

Yuer nodded.

Zheng Wenjie smiled, glanced at Zhao Li's eager eyes, threw the ghost pill, and Zhao Li hurriedly caught it.

"Zhao Li, give it a try and see if eating this ghost pill can make up for the loss of your primordial spirit and separate a new soul." Zheng Wenjie said with a smile, stroking Yu'er's hair.

Facing Yu'er's dark and cold gaze, Zhao Li hurriedly threw the ghost pill into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Zhao Li's eyes widened, his legs went limp and he fell on the sofa. The feeling from his soul made him feel so painful that he clenched his teeth tightly, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Li smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "This is the tenth ghost pill I have eaten, and it is still not enough."

"There are always benefits." Zheng Wenjie said lightly and looked at Murong.

"Did you give all the ghost pills you made over the past thousand years to Zhao Li?"

Murong looked at Zhao Li and nodded: "Except Zhao Li, no one else is willing to break the rules of Hades and make a deal with me for the sake of souls."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and said, "A ferryman has reported you to me... Forget it, do you want your lover to be with you forever?"

Murong shook his head and smiled bitterly at Zheng Wenjie's gaze: "I know myself well. My value is not that great. I just hope that the commander can ask Hades to let me go this time."

"Then you continue to capture evil spirits and refine ghost pills, and then make a deal with Zhao Li in exchange for your life, right?"

Murong nodded self-deprecatingly.

"That's it, I agree, go ahead." Zheng Wenjie nodded and agreed.

Murong nodded gratefully to Zheng Wenjie, took the box handed to him by Zhao Li who had recovered, and left the villa.

"Originally, you wanted to use Yanyan's resentment to turn Lu Zhe into a living dead, steal his life and exchange it with Murong for the ghost pill, right?" Zheng Wenjie asked.

Zhao Li nodded naturally and said, "I have lived for more than a thousand years. What is there that I can't let go of? As for compassion, I am not worthy of it as I have no soul."

"But Zhao Li, I didn't expect that you actually trust me so much." Zheng Wenjie looked at Zhao Li and smiled.

Zhao Li sat on the sofa indifferently: "Besides trusting you, what else can I do? You said that if I let Lu Zhe go, you would give me what I want. Now you have done it, and you have given me the ghost pill."

"Among the ferrymen, the three of us, Murong, Gongsun Wufa, are considered the most famous."

"You saved Murong's life this time. He has made his decision."

"Now, Murong and I have both submitted to you. Gongsun Wufa is a smart woman and will obey your orders in the end."

Zheng Wenjie nodded indifferently: "Murong... is an old man from the underworld after all. He took the initiative to ask me to do him a favor this time, which means he has clearly chosen a side."

"You have completely mastered the military power of the underworld. Those soul-catchers will obey the ferryman, but the people led by Yurong are all loyal to the King of Hell." Zhao Li reminded.

Zheng Wenjie looked at Zhao Li with amusement: "You made it sound like I was going to rebel against Hades. Even if I really wanted to rebel, your so-called military power and political power are not important."

"The most important thing is the two volumes of Yin and Yang. With these two treasures of the underworld, you can control the underworld. The rest are just trivial matters."

Zhao Li nodded dully.

Zheng Wenjie twisted his neck and said, "Zhao Li, you don't have to think so much. If Pluto doesn't give you what you want, I will give it to you."

"We have already waited for more than a thousand years. It will only take a few decades for Chi You to wake up. Please be more patient."

Zheng Wenjie directed Zhao Li and Ya, who had just woken up from a whole day's sleep, to prepare dinner. When a table of dishes was ready, Xia Dongqing still hadn't come back.

"This Xia Dongqing is hopeless. He clearly made a lot of money from the order he took yesterday, but he still has to work in a dessert shop. Let's eat first and not wait for him." Zhao Li hung up the phone and said.

When Xia Dongqing came back on his bike, he couldn't wait to call everyone to the living room.

"Do you still remember jadeite?" Xia Dongqing asked, rubbing his face.

"Fei Cui, what happened to the young pharmacist?" Zheng Wenjie asked, leaning on the sofa.

"She came to the dessert shop where I work today to find me, and wanted me to take an order with her."
