Chapter 506: Elder Sister Reaper, Don't Step on Me

Back in the Underworld, Hui immediately staggered and pressed a hand to his forehead. My cultivation Elder Sister, I need to rest.

Didnt you resolve that? the reaper asked, giving him a dead look.

Ah! The sequelae! It hurts! Hui cried out, crumpling in on himself.

The reaper took a deep breath. Fine. You did a good job with your first reaping, so Ill overlook your bad acting.

Elder Sister, bad acting? Im injured, Im earnestly injured! Hui insisted, straightening up to frown at her.

Right The reaper sighed. Ill go report to Zhu Diyu. You rest. Youd better be ready to go back out when the time comes.

Hui saluted. Greatly appreciated, Elder Sister. Small cultivator is in your deb is greatly appreciative!New novel chapters are published on

Shaking her head, the reaper walked off, leaving Hui to his own devices. Hui immediately scurried into his quarters and sat down in the lotus pose to meditate.

Alright! Time to activate those seeds I left behind. Or at least one of them!

The seeds I created are based off my tree-net and lotus seed technique, though right now, I only have death qi, not life qi. I have no idea if the same network will work without life qi. After all, life is naturally connected to other life. Death is connected to life, but is it connected to itself? And if it isnt, can I connect it anyways?

I need to get back to the mortal realm. Although the reaper promised to teach me, she hasnt yet, and Im starting to suspect she wont. Even if I use that technique to reach the mortal realm, I wont be able to interact with the living parts of the mortal world, and I need to warn Li Xiang and Bai Xue about the imminent danger.

I wonder why the reaper let me hear that? We could have arrived later and missed it. True, its not as if she knew what the Tier Master would say before the assassin attacked her, but hmm, its a bit suspicious. Maybe the reaper has a soft spot for me?

Mmm, no. Its best I dont get a big head. Besides, I dont think she wants to encourage me to interact with the mortal realm. Shes already warned against it a few times. And yet, she didnt protest when I heard that

But then, maybe the Tier Master wasnt talking about Bai Xue and Li Xiang, but some other female experts in the Southern Sect Conference, and thats why she didnt care that I heard. After all, despite warning me about interacting with the mortal realm, she didnt say anything after we heard that.

I dont know. I cant know. But I can do everything in my power to keep my wives and children safe! Even if they arent the targets, I still want to meet them! It feels like yesterday to me, but for them, its been ten years. Ive barely met either of my children, assuming that the reaper really did let slip that Li Xiang also had a kid. I want to see them!

He settled his breathing and cleared his mind. Reach out. Connect to the seed! Connect across the realms! From the Underworld to the mortal realm. Theres already a conduit between the realms, and theres no restrictions or Heavenly Nets the way there is between the mortal and Immortal realms. Find the conduit.

What would that conduit look like? What should I look for?

Life. Life qi. Ordinary qi, even. Anything that isnt death, darkness, and oblivion.

Ah! Elder Sister, coming into a mans room without warning. Shouldnt you at least knock? What if you see something unfortunate? Hui said, shaking his head at her.

What would I see that I havent seen thousands of times? No one chooses when or where they die. I have seen. She took a deep breath. Everything.

Ah my apologies, Elder Sister. I didnt mean to demean your experience! Hui said. Already on the floor, he threw himself into a kowtow out of conveniences sake.

That is unless a certain someone was up to no good, the reaper said, narrowing her eyes at Hui.

Elder Sister! Do you distrust me so much? Hui cried, continuing to prostrate on the ground at her feet.

Well? Should I distrust you? she asked.

Hui looked up at her. He frowned, just slightly. Who would ever say yes?

She stepped on his back. Hui stiffened. The both of them made eye contact.

Elder Sister, why? he asked, confused.

I dont know. You just suddenly seemed very easy to step on, the reaper said.

Im Im not into this, Hui said.

Into it? the reaper asked, confused.

Hui swallowed. Oh no! Did I awaken something in Elder Sister without meaning to? Something that even Elder Sister doesnt understand? No, no, no! Lets put that something right back to sleep! Im happy with Elder Sister as she is! This is too far, a step too far. Literally!

Er, can you remove your foot? Hui asked.

Huh? Yeah, the reaper said. She stepped back, still on her back foot.

Hui climbed to his feet. No one made any eye contact, both of them very awkward.

The reaper coughed. Zhu Diyu wants to see you.

Ah? Huh? Ah! Yes. Lets go, lets go. Go see Zhu Diyu! Hui said, nodding vigorously. He pushed the reaper toward the door. Lets leave this behind. Leave it all behind and forget about it!
