Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Godly Answer System:

But if he really followed this so-called White Impermanence to the Underworld, then he’d be truly dead! Reincarnated into another life—would he still be himself?

No way! Absolutely not!

He was still a young guy, and he hadn’t even experienced life fully yet. He hasn’t even tried seafood—dying like this was just too reckless!

“Hey, beautiful, how about we talk this over?”

The girl said she was White Impermanence, but she looked so innocent and seemed easy to talk to.

Su Yao raised an eyebrow. “Go ahead, but make it quick. After I take your soul, I still have to report back.”

Even if Su Yao weren’t a soul reaper, she could still easily steal someone’s heart. In college, she’d undoubtedly be the campus queen.

“How about you turn a blind eye and go collect someone else’s soul?” Yue Bing tried to make his smile as sincere as possible.

Su Yao’s face froze slightly. “No, that’s not possible. Your time has come, so you should go to the Underworld. I just started this job, and I have a quota to meet. The old folks are all watching. If I can’t get this done, I’ll lose my job.”

Yue Bing waved his hand. “That’s easy. If you lose your job, I’ll support you. I’ll burn offerings for you!”

“Look, I’m only 22 years old, not even married yet, and I don’t have any descendants. If I die now, my family line ends with me!”

Su Yao remained unmoved. “It doesn’t matter. This is fate. Whether you come with me or not, don’t force me to make you.”

In Yue Bing’s past life, the legends said that White Impermanence and Hei Wuchang were among the top ten ghost generals with immense powers. But looking at this delicate girl before him…

He felt like if he punched her, she’d cry for a long time.

“To be honest, I’ve already died once. The King of Hell didn’t dare take me, and now the Underworld wants me?”

Su Yao scratched her head. “The King of Hell? The Underworld? Never heard of them. I only know about the Netherworld and my master, Ah Cha. Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and come with me!”

She didn’t expect her first soul-reaping mission to run into such a tough guy. From the looks of it, if she didn’t show her abilities, he wouldn’t follow her to the Underworld.

Suddenly, the air in the room began to drop, and gusts of cold wind howled, making the furniture rattle. Su Yao’s once-fair and smooth face turned icy cold. Her complexion became deathly pale, as if layered with countless coats of white powder, drained of all blood.

She slightly opened her crimson lips, and a pink tongue emerged, slowly extending until it reached her chest.

“Yue Bing… life and death are determined by fate. Quickly follow me back…”

Su Yao’s voice became eerie, as if it was echoing from all directions.

Yue Bing clutched his ears tightly. That voice seemed to have a strange power, making him unconsciously want to follow her.

The lights in the room began to flicker, casting shadows over Su Yao’s terrifyingly cold face, making her look like a corpse that had just emerged from a freezer.

Su Yao pulled out a Soul Binding Chain from behind her and stepped closer to him. “Yue Bing… resistance will only lead to your soul being shattered… follow me…”

Yue Bing’s face twisted in pain. Even with his ears covered, the voice still drilled into his brain like an ice pick.

“No… no way… I can’t… I can’t go with her…”

“I… I can’t die. If I die, what will happen to Xiao Ya…”

Yue Bing gritted his teeth, desperately resisting Su Yao’s call.

“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!” Su Yao snapped, shaking the Soul Binding Chain in her hand as she threw it toward his neck.

The chain glowed faintly blue, specifically designed to capture souls. Once caught, escape was impossible.

“No!”

Seeing the chain coming closer and closer, Yue Bing let out an unwilling roar!

Just then, with a sudden bang, there was a loud crash from the room behind him. A dark object smashed through the door, flying straight toward the Soul Binding Chain.

Ding!

There was a crisp sound, and the Soul Binding Chain fell to the ground with a clatter, its light fading.

“Oh no, my chain!”

Su Yao was heartbroken. That chain was government property—she’d have to pay for it if it broke!

“What is this thing?”

Her curious eyes fell on a palm-sized stone lying on the ground. “It actually blocked the Soul Binding Chain?”

Su Yao stopped her soul-reaping efforts, and Yue Bing instantly felt the pressure lift. He hadn’t expected something like this to happen.

That little stone was the very one that had killed him in his previous life.

Before he could figure out why, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host is in danger, the Godly Answer System is now activated!]
