Marrying the Crown Prince

In the underworld, Zhou Zhou wore a robe of emerald green brocade embroidered with gold bamboo and flowers, paired with a skirt adorned with numerous lifelike butterflies made of gold and silver threads.

She sat on the railing of the attic, her two feet swinging gently. She could easily fall off if she wasn't careful, but the passing ghosts didn't seem to notice her curiosity or worry.

After all, they've become ghosts. If they still can't fly, what kind of ghost are they?

Therefore, most of these souls, like Zhou Zhou, sit or lie down by the railings of pavilions and towers, or on tall, thin tree branches.

"how?"

A gentle voice came from behind.

Zhou Zhou turned around and jumped down from the fence. "Mo Yu, walking without making a sound can scare a ghost to death."

Mo Yu could tell from her expression, "Still can't remember?"

When a soul first leaves its body, its memory is hazy, and it may forget many things from the past. However, once it reaches the underworld, it can gradually recover and its memories will resurface. This is a manifestation of the soul gradually recovering.

Once the memory is fully restored, and one can even recall childhood events, it means that one is ready to be reincarnated.

However, Zhou Zhou's soul was special, and for some reason, after so many years, he had no memories left at all.

Initially, Mo Ye was somewhat worried, believing that Li Ziyan had taken away that wisp of immortal soul, thus damaging Zhou Zhou's soul.

However, upon observation, he discovered that Zhou Zhou's soul was growing stronger day by day, and had already reached the point of re-entering the cycle of reincarnation five years ago.

Mo Yu told Zhou Zhou about this at the time, and what was her response?

She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mo Yu, but I'd like to wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"I don't know either, I just want to wait a little longer."

Mo Yu: "..."

He rubbed his temples. "You've waited fifteen years."

"We've waited fifteen years, what's another three or five?"

Mo Yu: "..."

Do you know how the last soul that stubbornly refused to reincarnate was dealt with?

He kicked the other person, who fell into the Reincarnation Well before he could even utter a curse.

However, Mo Yu tolerated Zhou Zhou's bad temper. There was nothing she could do, since the two of them had worked together before.

"Fine, stay as long as you want," he said through gritted teeth.

"Thanks then." Zhou Zhou smiled broadly.

As the memory ended, Mo Yu reached out, grabbed, and lifted her foot in one fluid motion, the two of them gently floating to the rooftop of the attic.

After finding a flat spot on the rooftop to sit down, Zhou Zhou rubbed his hands together, filled with emotion, "A thousand-year-old demon is indeed a thousand-year-old demon; it can even fly while carrying people."

"Not only can I fly, I can also kick. Do you want to experience it?" Mo Yu smiled "amiably".

Zhou Zhou stiffened. "No need."

Mo Yu raised his hand, and a pot of sake appeared in his hand.

He opened the wine jug and poured out a large amount of wine.

Zhou Zhou rested his chin on his hand, looking at the distant full moon with utter boredom. "This moon, I've never seen it change or move."

In the underworld, the most yin place, the crescent moon hangs high, the sun is nowhere to be seen, and there is no distinction between day and night; it is always shrouded in a gray haze.

However, Zhou Zhou had no memory of his time in the human world, so he was not moved by these sights.

You should know that the environment here is too oppressive for most people who have regained their memories. Some of them can't endure it for many years and choose to reincarnate voluntarily. Others refuse to reincarnate no matter what. Over time, their souls will slowly dissipate and return to the world. Of course, Mo Yu usually won't let them go to that point.

“Don’t you remember? On Earth, the moon changes shape,” Mo Yu replied.

"You always talk about how the world is, how the world is, what? Is the world really that good?"

"It's not good in the true sense, but it's not good either."

"Hmm?" Zhou Zhou raised an eyebrow. "I see."

"what happened?"

“Nothing,” Zhou Zhou shrugged, “I just suddenly felt like going to the human world.”

Mo Yu was stunned. "Did you remember something?"

"No."

"That's because...?"

"It just happened suddenly, for no particular reason."

Mo Yu: "..."

Sure enough, having stayed here for too long, I can no longer keep up with the current thoughts of my soul.

"Let's go." Zhou Zhou stood up.

Mo Yu put away the wine pot and straightened up. "I'll see you out."

Zhou Zhou waved his hand and walked towards the Bridge of Helplessness.

Mo Yu watched her graceful and clean-cut figure, smiled, shook her head, and sat back down.

Beside the Bridge of Helplessness, a young woman is simmering soup.

I heard from people—no, I should say from ghosts—that this soup is incredibly delicious, surpassing countless earthly delights.

Zhou Zhou was at the back of the line, slowly moving forward step by step.

Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere and walked past her, then abruptly turned back, grabbed her hand, and pulled her out of the crowd.

A familiar feeling surged into his mind, and his body reacted before his brain could process it. Zhou Zhou let the person pull him into their arms.

My heart started pounding.

Zhou Zhou clutched her chest, a bitter feeling welling up inside her. "I...I'm dead, aren't I?"

A dead person's heart still beats?

Upon hearing the sound, Li Ziyan released the person, took a closer look, and suddenly took two steps back, looking utterly shocked.

Zhou Zhou: "..."

Am I that scary?

"I'm sorry, miss, I've mistaken you for someone else." Li Ziyan forced an awkward smile.

Zhou Zhou frowned. "We...have never met before."

"Yes, I've never seen it before."

For some reason, upon hearing Li Ziyan's answer, Zhou Zhou felt a subtle, persistent pain in her heart.

Before she could speak, Li Ziyan bowed first, then turned and left.

Zhou Zhou chased after him, but saw no one. There were only red spider lilies blooming brightly on the ground, their color as red as fire.

She rubbed her temples, thinking to herself: What kind of situation is this?

This unexpected event didn't trouble Zhou Zhou for long; she returned to the Bridge of Helplessness.

Meng Po often visited Mo Yu and naturally knew Zhou Zhou. When she saw her, she was very friendly and said, "Come, try this soup. I guarantee that once you drink it, all your past troubles will be wiped away. Everything will drift away with the wind, and from now on, you will be reborn."

Zhou Zhou reached out and took the Meng Po soup, and at that moment, her heart reached an unprecedented peace.

She closed her eyes and drank Meng Po's beverage in one gulp.

Not far away, this scene was completely witnessed by Li Ziyan.

"Why didn't you stop them?" Mo Yu asked him.

"How can we stop them?" Li Ziyan asked, his face full of bitterness.

With just one glance, he could tell that Zhou Zhou's soul body had been reborn with a divine spark.

Yes, because Zhou Zhou was reborn as a god, that's why Mo Yu wanted her to reincarnate quickly.

Although Zhou Zhou currently possesses the seed of divinity, she will gradually accumulate merits and blessings in the mortal realm, and one day she will ascend again to become a god and join the ranks of immortals.

But if you stop her, the seed will never sprout.

How could he stop him?

He sighed—perhaps this was God's arrangement, that you lost your memory, so you wouldn't have to choose between love and responsibility.

But looking at Zhou Zhou's resolute back, those beautiful memories from the past seemed like they were just yesterday, yet they were still out of reach.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Li Ziyan reached out and wiped her face, only to find herself in tears—so even immortals cry?

[A Thousand Years Later]

dong dong!

dong dong!

The bells of the Ascension Platform rang.

The Immortal Lord Zeyuan, who was guarding the Ascension Platform, looked at the person on the platform and said, "Congratulations on your ascension, Fairy. Please come with me to see the Emperor."

"it is good."

"May I ask how the fairy is addressed?"

"Zhou Zhou".
