100: Chapter 100 Tang Cai'er! Mom reincarnated? System mission!

"Keep these three protective talismans safe. With them, those little spirits and ghosts in the cemetery won't dare to harm you in the slightest!"

"Consider this an extra benefit from this Sect Head."

The old man Li Xiaojia pulled three yellow talismans folded into pentagons from a cloth bag, handed one to each of them, and then found the key to open the large iron gate of the cemetery.

As the gate opened, it felt like a gap had been created in some barrier; a cold wind brushed against their faces, and the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.

"Don't be afraid, follow behind me. By the way, which area are you going to?"

"Area A, Grave 118!"

"Area A? Oh, it seems your family background is quite extraordinary!"

"..."

Babao Mountain is divided into four major areas: A, B, C, and D. The prices for cemetery plots in each area are different. Area A is naturally the most expensive. People buried here are either high-ranking officials and nobles or exceptionally wealthy.

In fact, even if you have money, you might not be able to buy a plot in Area A.

The old man Li Xiaojia calculated in his heart that to be buried in Area A, the family must have assets exceeding a hundred million. No wonder they were so generous just now.

Under his guidance, the path was clear.

Grave 118.

Chu Xiao arrived here. His Divine Thought swept through, but he didn't find even a trace of his mother's soul, causing his heart to sink.

After a person dies, their soul either stays in the world or is taken to the Underworld by ghost messengers and officials to wait for the next Reincarnation.

"Oh no!"

"Eight years... Could Mom have already undergone Reincarnation?"

Chu Xiao's mood hit rock bottom.

If his mother had truly reincarnated, how would he bring her back to life?

He placed a bouquet of white Roses in front of the tombstone; these were his mother's favorite flowers when she was alive. Chu Xiao knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed three times. His eyes were already filled with tears, and he couldn't say a single word.

For three years, he hadn't come once!

It wasn't because he forgot, and even less because he didn't miss her!

It was because Chu Xiao missed his mother too much and was unwilling to accept the reality that she had died.

There was another main reason.

In Chu Xiao's subconscious, he knew that running away from home was wrong. So, for these three years, he hadn't dared to visit even once, and he hadn't even returned to Kyoto.

Every time he missed his mom, the only thing he could do was open her social media feed late at night, scroll through it, and then collapse on the bed crying like a child.

Thinking back carefully, during these three years of running away from home, he had lived a life that was neither human nor ghost!

As the old saying goes, a child with a mother is like a treasure, but a child without a mother is like a blade of grass.

It really is true.

Seeing her big brother like this, Chu Lingyin's heart also felt heavy, and she started crying too. While crying, she wiped the tears from Chu Xiao's face with her small hands and said, "Big Brother, don't cry. Even though Mommy is gone, you still have me! Lingyin will stay with Big Brother forever and ever and ever."

The little fatty Chu Jie also added, "Right, right, right, I'll stay with Big Brother too!!"

"You two little kids." Chu Xiao rubbed their heads, stood up, and sat on the stone steps beside the tombstone, looking at the blue sky as white clouds drifted overhead.

He didn't say a word, just sat there quietly, as if his mother were watching him from behind.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiao knew in his heart that his mother wasn't there at all.

With the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, his Divine Sense could sweep through everything in Babao Mountain, and nothing could escape his detection. All sorts of ghosts and spirits were scared into silence.

Beside him, the old man Li Xiaojia had a strange expression, stroking his beard as if thinking about something.

How strange.

What's going on today? Why isn't there even a single ghost coming out to cause trouble?

Isn't this ruining my business?

Just then, a woman in a white dress suddenly appeared.

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, very delicate and moving, a true beauty in the making. She floated over to Chu Xiao in a few steps and asked excitedly, "Chu Xiao, is it you?"

"Tang Caier!" Chu Xiao snapped back to his senses and looked at her, instantly recognizing the identity of this female ghost.

Her name was Tang Caier, and she was Chu Xiao's classmate and desk-mate from kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, to high school. They could be called childhood sweethearts.

Unfortunately, in her senior year of high school, she suddenly jumped off a building!

As for why she jumped, Chu Xiao still didn't know. He only remembered being sad for a long time back then, secretly shedding tears and secretly burning paper money.

He didn't expect that she was also buried in this Babao Mountain cemetery.

"Young man, move aside quickly! This woman is a ghost!"

The old man Li Xiaojia pulled out a square black seal, chanted a mantra, and was about to strike down with it in a showy manner.

Tang Caier, being a ghost, simply rolled her eyes, completely unafraid. With her hands on her hips, she complained, "Old Man Li, he's my friend. Stop trying to scam him!"

"What nonsense is this evil spirit saying? Who's acting with you!"

Li Xiaojia raised the black seal and sent a telepathic message with a wink: "You're protecting him so much; could he have been your lover when you were alive?"

Hearing this, Tang Caier stomped her foot and said, "What are you talking about! He's my classmate from kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school! Anyway, just don't scam him out of his money."

Li Xiaojia scratched his head awkwardly and put the black seal away.

This scene left Chu Xiao speechless. After all this time, the hauntings at Babao Mountain were all self-directed and acted by this Old Man Li.

"Chu Xiao, are you here to see Auntie Jiang?"

Tang Caier still loved to smile just like back then. Every time she smiled, two shallow dimples would appear at the corners of her mouth, making it hard not to notice.

Chu Xiao nodded. "Yeah. By the way, do you know where my mom went?"

"Auntie Jiang died from an unexpected difficult labor, so logically she should have been a Resentful Ghost. But she didn't become one. Last month, her Karma reached Perfection, and she was taken to the Underworld by ghost messengers to reincarnate."

Tang Caier stood on her tiptoes, a look of great envy appearing in her eyes.

"So she really went to reincarnate..." Chu Xiao felt somewhat sorrowful. He had thought he could see his mother's soul by coming to Babao Mountain, but he hadn't expected that Reincarnation and the concept of rebirth truly existed in this world.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to revive his mother!
