After being reborn, she went on a killing spree in both the Yin and Yang realms.

The matter of the vengeful ghost was left unresolved, and Sweetheart returned to living in that black stone every day.

Ling Yue carried that stone with her every day, and whenever she had free time, she would take it out and polish it in her hands, eventually making it smoother and rounder.

After the "starving ghost" incident, Ling Yue's life returned to normal. Every day, she, Wang Linlin, and Ning Xia used their dormitory as a study room to work hard on practice questions and review course materials in preparation for the make-up exam.

The make-up exam is finally here!

Wang Linlin only had one exam, so she finished it quickly. Ling Yue, on the other hand, had a whopping five...

After two days of exams, I'm finally done. My top priority right now is finally over.

I felt pretty good after the exam. A makeup exam tormented me like this... Back when I was first reborn, I boasted that I wanted to get a scholarship. What a load of rubbish...

It is already quite an achievement to be able to obtain a graduation certificate smoothly.

After the make-up exam, Ling Yue moved back home and slept there for two days and two nights straight, feeling completely exhausted.

Ling Yue felt like she had returned to her high school days, when she was carefree and focused solely on studying.

Suddenly relaxing, my body felt lazy, and my heart felt empty.

So, I started browsing through the apps on my phone. When I saw the scribbled characters, they seemed a bit unfamiliar. When I clicked on them, I saw that I still had 89 merits. Perhaps because I had seen people with only single-digit merits left, I felt that I still had a long time to live with 89 merits.

With nothing to do, I clicked on the list of bounty missions and started to laugh. What kind of bizarre missions are these?

Sending a dance video to Yama (the King of Hell) and receiving his praise will earn you 0.1 merit points.

Providing information on the whereabouts of top-tier vengeful spirits will earn you 1 merit point.

……

Is everyone in the industry this corrupt? Is good karma so worthless? Can ordinary people or ghosts even contact Yama, the King of Hell? Are top-tier vengeful ghosts blind? How can they not sense someone or something following them?

I randomly selected an outrageous task to complain about.

When I was overwhelmed with a sense of justice, I think I accidentally pressed a button and lost 69 merit points!

Ling Yue: ? ? ?

Clicking "Cancel Order" no longer allows for cancellation...

Why was her hand so mischievous? Seeing her remaining 20 merits, Ling Yue felt like crying.

I was planning to lie down for a while longer, but how can I sit up now?

When the survival crisis struck again, Ling Yue instantly became energetic, getting out of bed and washing up in one go.

Lu Boqing hadn't shown up for several days so as not to disturb her studies, so she needed to report this matter to him as soon as possible.

I sent Lu Boqing no less than ten bombardment emojis, but he didn't reply to a single message.

The call was finally answered on the second attempt. Lu Boqing's lazy, slightly impatient voice came through the receiver: "What?"

Ling Yue needed her help right now, so she tried to keep her tone gentle: "Qingqing, where are you? Why didn't you reply to my message?"

"I've brought Ling Yi to find Chu Xin. What's the matter?"

Ling Yue then realized that Xiao Bao wasn't home... It seems she's really been letting loose these past few days and hasn't been paying much attention to Ling Yi.

Before Ling Yue could even tell her about her current situation, the other person said to herself, "You'd better have something extremely urgent to say. The three of us are currently soaking in the hot springs at Baiyun Temple and can't go back for the time being."

Soak in hot springs...

Now that the Beginning of Winter has passed and the weather is starting to get cold, soaking in a hot spring is the perfect way to cool off.

Ling Yue imagined the three of them in the hot spring, drinking cocktails (of course, Xiao Bao was probably drinking something really refreshing) while soaking in the hot spring, looking incredibly relaxed and enjoying themselves. They really knew how to enjoy life!

Looking at myself, I'm now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles.

At that moment, Ling Yi's voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Is that my sister? Qingqing, I want to talk to my sister."

Then came a burst of noise, presumably Lu Boqing handing the phone to Ling Yi.

Then she heard Ling Yi say on the phone, "Sister, you're awake? We're soaking in the hot springs at Brother Chuxin's place! There are lots of fun places here, do you want to come over?"

Hearing Ling Yi's childish voice, Ling Yue's anxiety and frustration seemed to vanish instantly.

"Little Bao, play for a bit, I'll be right there."

Life is short, so we should enjoy it to the fullest. It feels like ages since I've soaked in a hot spring.

Ling Yue started packing her things for the hot springs, and after she finished, she drove to Baiyun Temple.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people here even though it wasn't the weekend. Ling Yue finally found a parking space and parked her car. It was still quite a distance to walk to the location sent by Lu Boqing.

She was already slightly sweaty when she arrived at the destination. At that moment, a plump-looking middle-aged man dressed in Taoist robes greeted her with a smile.

"You must be Ms. Ling? My junior brother asked me to pick you up."

Junior Brother? Could it be the beginning of your life?

Wow, this guy looks twice as old as Chu Xin, yet he calls him "little senior brother"?

Ling Yue was too embarrassed to ask further: "Thank you for your trouble, Daoist Master."

As soon as they entered the hot spring pool where the three people were, they heard Ling Yi excitedly shout, "Sister, here! Here!"

I never expected that Baiyun Temple would be such a hidden gem. Along the way, the man who greeted me gave me a brief introduction to the hot springs. It turns out that the hot spring water here is natural. It really is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery!

After thanking the Taoist priest, Ling Yue went straight to the fitting room with her backpack and changed into the swimsuit she had prepared in advance for the hot spring.

When Ling Yue arrived at the hot spring pool, she realized that it was completely different from the scene she had imagined. Where did the cocktails come from?

Ling Yi, wearing a swimming ring, floated on the water like a little frog.

Those two were even more boring; they were actually playing Go.

I've only ever seen people play mahjong in water, this is the first time I've ever seen people play Go in a hot spring pool...

Even after Ling Yue walked up to them and deliberately made some noise, the two of them remained motionless.

After playing with Ling Yi for a while, Ling Yue was still restless. She said she was living in the moment, but the thorny issue remained unresolved...

Almost half an hour had passed, and the game between the two was still not over. Ling Yue's patience was about to run out.

She quietly approached Lu Boqing and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Boqing's eyes remained fixed on the chessboard, as if he hadn't heard Ling Yue speak.

Seeing this, Ling Yue wanted to give up. Forget it, she could live well on her own!

Suddenly, Lu Boqing stood up, shoved the chessboard in front of him into a mess, and said in a serious tone, "I'm not playing anymore, I have to go to work. I'll come again next time."

Chu Xin stood there dumbfounded, seemingly unwilling to accept defeat. But restrained by Lu Boqing's status, he murmured, "Your Highness, your actions are not those of a gentleman! I was just one step away from winning!"

"Oh well, I'll be more careful next time. It's just that Lingyue suddenly urged me to go to work."

Ling Yue: ……

If you can't accept defeat, just say so. Why have you started shifting the blame?

When Ling Yue received Chu Xin's resentful look, she quickly shook her head: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me!"
