Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Heavenly Master 29

Cui Cui’s matter was finally settled. Now, she just had to wait for Chen Lijuan’s natural lifespan to end and go to the Underworld for punishment, then Cui Cui could reincarnate in peace.

Situ Shuangshuang originally thought that by sending Wang Wei’s wife to prison this time, she wouldn’t receive any reward!

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Wang Wei sent thirty thousand as a reward to Situ Shuangshuang! It was indeed a pleasant surprise!

Wang Wei didn’t come personally to deliver the money because he harbored resentment towards Situ Shuangshuang. Although he knew his wife was wrong, Wang Wei and Chen Lijuan had been married for many years, and their relationship was very good. In his heart, he still sided with her.

However, Wang Wei didn’t dare to offend Situ Shuangshuang. If someone with real skills like her got angry due to unpaid dues, leaving him broken could be the least of his worries! Even if she didn’t retaliate, he would inevitably seek her out again in the future. Although his worry was excessive!

Therefore, Wang Wei not only had to grudgingly pay the reward, but he also couldn’t afford to give any less. The only thing he could do was claim to be busy and send someone else to deliver the money instead of visiting Situ Shuangshuang himself.

Situ Shuangshuang was very satisfied with this thirty thousand income. In her previous life, she only received such a large reward when she was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, years after establishing her reputation. The fact that she could earn such a large sum so early on was a delightful surprise to her.

However, with so much money in hand, Situ Shuangshuang planned to donate ten thousand of it. Actually, for those engaged in fortune-telling and feng shui, there was a rule that they had to donate part of their earnings to mitigate the personal profit from revealing the Heavenly Mechanism.

Since revealing the Heavenly Mechanism was a very serious offense, in addition to the rule of donating half of their earnings, those in feng shui and fortune-telling had to take the path of poverty, short life, or loneliness when entering the profession.

Poverty is self-explanatory, meaning poverty in the future. Short life means a short lifespan, and loneliness means dying alone without family!

Heavenly Masters are different. Since their work involves capturing ghosts, driving away evil, and subjugating demons—all tasks that earn Merit—they face no concerns about poverty, short life, or loneliness unless they kill ghosts that shouldn’t be killed, or use their skills to harm others improperly. Instead, if they perform these tasks well, they may even receive the protection of Merit, allowing them to live a life free of illness or disaster!

But while becoming a Heavenly Master yields Merit, it also makes one prone to an early demise since they face fierce ghost demons, making it easy to meet an untimely death if they’re not careful!

Unlike ordinary ghosts after death, Heavenly Masters are detained by the Underworld to serve unless they went astray in life. In her previous life, Situ Shuangshuang died early; if she hadn’t reincarnated, she would have already started working in the Underworld with her master, Chen Qi.

Situ Shuangshuang donated ten thousand to an animal rescue station. This animal rescue station consisted of volunteers who loved animals and specifically took in stray animals. They took these animals under their care and allowed them to be adopted for free.

The adoption requirements were quite simple: attend a class to learn about taking care of pets, prove employment and financial ability to support a pet, and promise to return the animal to the rescue center instead of abandoning it if they no longer wished to keep it.

The rescue center is funded partly by donations and partly by selling pet food and supplies. They compile donation records into booklets and publish them on their website for full transparency, allowing anyone to view them.

In her previous life, Situ Shuangshuang often donated to this pet rescue station. In this life, it was her first time donating to them.

After the donation, with twenty thousand left in hand, plus the previous three thousand, Situ Shuangshuang and her mentor Chen Qi found themselves quite comfortable. In fact, this duo didn’t spend much in a year.

They grew their own vegetables, didn’t need to rent a house or pay for property management. Apart from buying food, clothes, and materials to make talisman paper from the Five Woods, they had few expenses. Twenty-three thousand would last the pair several years.

After the joy, there was still something to address: the matter of the long-haired female ghost that Situ Shuangshuang had previously captured. This time, without interruptions, Situ Shuangshuang effortlessly opened the Divine Acupoint for the female ghost, finally restoring her appearance to normal!

This was a very beautiful female ghost, appearing quite young, with a captivating charm in her eyes and brows! Her features exuded a bold allure, though her eye expression was soft, with traces of timidity, indicating her true nature didn’t match her bold and alluring appearance.

In her muddled state, she hadn’t felt much, but once her consciousness was restored, the fierce waves of Mana emanating from Situ Shuangshuang’s body became acutely noticeable, and the intense oppressive feeling was terrifying for her!

She instinctively shivered, her eyes red as she looked at Situ Shuangshuang, her shoulders trembled in fear, and she pleaded, ”Lord Heavenly Master, though I am a ghost, I have never harmed anyone! Please don’t scatter my soul!”

Situ Shuangshuang examined the female ghost. Now that her consciousness was restored, Situ Shuangshuang could finally see that the rolling black mist around her was not resentful energy, but rather Yin Qi mixed with attachment. The attachment was so deep it entwined with her soul like resentful energy.

Sitting in a chair, Situ Shuangshuang crossed her hands on the table, speaking in a cold tone to the female ghost before her, ”Tell me the reason you refuse to enter the cycle of reincarnation.”

The female ghost glanced furtively at Situ Shuangshuang’s cold and indifferent expression, quietly acknowledged, then began telling her story!

This female ghost was named Bai Mengling. The name was beautiful, and her character matched it—dreamy and fond of romantic things!

Bai Mengling was a girl from an ordinary family. She moved step by step through elementary, middle, and university, with average grades, living a life no different from any other ordinary girl.

If there was any difference, it was Bai Mengling’s extraordinary beauty. Since elementary school, she had many boys fawning over her but, in contrast, no girl wanted to play with her, meaning she had good relations with boys but poor ones with girls.

Despite having many admirers, Bai Mengling never flirted with boys, as she was very conservative. Her biggest dilemma growing up was having too many boys around her! She always wished for a best friend to share her joys and sorrows, to hold hands with while learning and playing together!

This wish remained unfulfilled even after she started university. However, Bai Mengling met a man who made her heart flutter; she fell in love with a senior in her second year!

The boy’s name was Gao Haochen, from a wealthy family, tall and handsome, crowned the prince of the campus. The number of girls who liked him was comparable to the boys who adored Bai Mengling!
