Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Are you guys staring at people like that because you're interested in them?" A slightly immature voice rang out from the pillar of light, accompanied by a hesitant, coy gesture.

His words made Huangfu Aoran and Xu Ruwen immediately look away. Geng Miaowan did not look away because she suddenly remembered that such an expression and action could only be attributed to Hei Wuchang Yin Hao.

When Yin Hao saw Geng Miaowan, he came over to her and greeted her, "Hi, we've been quite destined to meet lately."

Upon seeing him, Geng Miaowan recalled the content she had seen on the Underworld Forum. Her eyes involuntarily glanced behind him, but she didn't see anyone else.

Looking at Geng Miaowan's appearance, Yin Hao smiled strangely and said with a hint of understanding, "I'll tell Aze that you were disappointed that you didn't see him."

Geng Miaowan was speechless. Which eye of his saw that she was disappointed...?

She put aside her gossipy nature and asked Yin Hao, "What are you doing here?"

Yin Hao smiled slightly, still with that same innocent look, "I'm here for work, of course."

She was taken aback, then remembered what he had done when she saw him in that space last time. Her eyes darted between Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aoran before finally settling on Huangfu Aoran.

He wondered, could Yin Hao be the one who took him in?

Feeling the strange gaze she was giving him, Huangfu Aoran moved aside and snorted coldly.

Yin Hao seemed to only then notice that there was such a person standing next to Geng Miaowan. He glanced at her discreetly, as if he had seen a rare animal.

However, he concealed it well; apart from Huangfu Aoran himself, no one knew that he had been looking at him.

Because he was busy with other matters, Yin Hao didn't mince words with Geng Miaowan and directly stated his purpose for coming.

"Zheng Xiuxiu?" She was startled at first. Wasn't it said that those missing a part couldn't be reincarnated? But seeing the serious expression on Yin Hao's face, she quickly showed a happy look. No matter the reason, as long as she could be reincarnated, that was enough. She shouted to Zheng Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, you can go reincarnate now!"

The excitement of being able to reincarnate overwhelmed Zheng Xiuxiu's fear of Huangfu Haoran. She flew like the wind to Geng Miaowan's side, grabbed her arm, and asked excitedly, "Really? I can really be reincarnated?"

Her voice trembled slightly. Geng Miaowan even felt Zheng Xiuxiu's hand gripping her arm tremble slightly. She smiled and pointed at Yin Hao, "See? He's the ghost messenger who's here to take you to be reincarnated."

Zheng Xiuxiu glanced at Yin Hao. She had sensed his difference from afar. Although he didn't look like Brother Niu, whom she had met once before, his aura was the same.

She had no suspicions and knelt down before Yin Hao, saying, "This humble woman thanks you, Brother Ghost Messenger."

As the Black Impermanence, Yin Hao was used to seeing ghosts who refused to leave the mortal world. This was probably the first time someone had been taken and still kowtowed to him. The smile that always graced his face froze for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which made Geng Miaowan burst into laughter.

He coughed awkwardly and helped Zheng Xiuxiu up. "You don't need to thank me. This is just my duty. If you don't have anything else, then we'll be going."

None of them mentioned the fact that they were missing a part and couldn't be reincarnated. Zheng Xiuxiu was afraid that if she brought it up, the ghost messenger in front of her might realize she had the wrong person and refuse to accept her. Geng Miaowan didn't care about the reason, as long as she could be reincarnated. As for Yin Hao, could he really say he had no idea about their little schemes...?

“Brother Ghost Messenger, may I…can I say a few words to Wan’er?” Zheng Xiuxiu asked Yin Hao hesitantly.

Despite Yin Hao's carefree and cheerful demeanor, he is actually quite meticulous in his work. Normally, he would have ignored her request. However, her bow just now made him feel unworthy of it, and besides, the person she wanted to speak to was Geng Miaowan. She was practically a colleague, so there was no reason not to give her face.

So he stood to the side, still smiling, but said in a very serious tone, "Make a long story short."

Zheng Xiuxiu repeatedly agreed.

She pulled Geng Miaowan aside, making sure no one else could hear her, before speaking, "Sister Wan'er," she continued somewhat shyly when she saw a visibly startled look on Geng Miaowan's face, "Perhaps you think it's a bit abrupt of me to call you that, but I really thank you for what happened this time. If it weren't for you, I... I don't know when I would be able to reincarnate."

Geng Miaowan thought to herself, "It is indeed a bit abrupt of you to call me 'sister'."

Although she looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, her body was that of a demon who had only lived for a little over a hundred years. But she didn't care about such things. She couldn't explain why, but she always felt a special connection with Zheng Xiuxiu, otherwise she wouldn't have meddled in other people's business.

She smiled. Since she was already calling her "little sister," why shouldn't she call her "older sister"? "Sister Xiuxiu, what are you saying? I didn't do anything."

That is indeed the truth. It was Huangfu Aoran who did it, but he clearly didn't want others to know what he had done.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you." Thinking about the upcoming separation, Zheng Xiuxiu felt a pang of reluctance. "After this parting, I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again. I'll miss you."

Hearing her say that, Geng Miaowan also felt a little sad. This was the first peer she had met since she started her mission who was compatible with her in every way. She glanced at Yin Hao, who was gesturing to her, and knowing that time was of the essence, she patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, we are so destined to meet, we will definitely meet again in the future. Just don't forget me then."

After saying that, she laughed heartily, her dark eyes shining with hope, which also eased Zheng Xiuxiu's sadness.

Zheng Xiuxiu tried to hold her hand, but her hand slipped right through her palm both times, so she gave up. "Well... I'll be going then..."

"Ah."

For some reason, even though Geng Miaowan could clearly sense that she was joyful about being reincarnated, her steps towards Yin Hao seemed somewhat heavy. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and ran back to Geng Miaowan, whispered a few words in her ear, and then, leaving a stunned Geng Miaowan, ran as fast as she could to Yin Hao's side.
