Ch13 - The End?

Translator: Chipoholic

146.

The veteran animal husbandry expert of the underworld has been “missing” since the day he was taken away by the handsome guy with long legs like a little chicken.

The “disappearance” simply meant that all ghosts knew where he was, but no one had seen him since.

On the one hand, it was because no one dared to go there, and on the other, the group of ghosts was still too thin-skinned. They couldn’t take a few words that made people blush and their hearts race.

According to neighbor X, the expert screeched like a pig about to be slaughtered after being taken home that day: Su Yu, you are a dog! You’re murdering your sugar daddy! Let me go! Oh! I want to report it to the police! Fuck! It hurts! Get off, get off! Oh! Let me go! Ahhhh!

After a while, the voice changed to a sweet and sticky hummm, ooooh, with occasional shameful and unbearable whispers.

Soon after, the voice began to cry again, and it became an unending pleading for mercy. Clearly, the voice was pleading with the other party to stop, but it was like a small hook that kept igniting a fire.

That day, the sound lasted a long time. Several good-natured ghosts were concerned that something bad would happen, so they went to find Old Man Li. The others stepped back two feet from the door. There was only one innocent child who died young who curiously grabbed Old Man Li’s sleeve and blinked his eyes as he asked: What is the expert doing?

For two seconds, old man Li, who had always been slow as a snail, deaf and dazed, was silent. Then he stretched his hand out, covered the little ghost’s ears, and blew away like the wind.

147.

The kid asked the ghost messenger by the bridge: Didn’t the expert’s friend say that the person he was waiting for got married again and had a baby? That doesn’t appear to be the case?

The ghost messenger rolled his eyes: There are far too many people in the world with the same name and surname. Who knows what he and that “friend” were discussing for so long?

148.

Soon after, Old Man Li’s wife made her way into the underworld. The heroic and formidable-looking old lady roared as she stood by the Yellow Springs. Out of fear, all the little ghosts within a five-mile radius remained silent and shuddered all over. Old man Li stood quietly by, his gaze fixed on his wife. He only knew how to smile happily.

After some time, an opportunity presented itself, and the two of them entered the reincarnation cycle together to be reborn.

I lost one activity after they left, but since Su Yu arrived, I’ve been busier than ever.

Su Yu and I alternated between being intimate and having a battle of wits everyday. We fought valiantly while conveniently interspersing it with a certain recreational activity

I didn’t expect the underworld to place such a high value on me. Every day, I was tricked to contribute to the cause of animal husbandry, fighting on the front lines of the pigsty for decades, publishing numerous authoritative works, and eventually becoming the industry leader.

After a few more decades, the relevant netherworld department informed us of an opportunity and that it was time to reincarnate. We talked about it and decided to put my pig-raising business on hold – after all, it’s better to be a human being.

I’d just finished Meng Po’s soup and jumped into the reincarnation pool when a ghost messenger appeared, clutching a professional book. He yelled hoarsely: It’s been printed! It’s already been printed! Expert, take a look! Don’t worry!

Meng Po was shocked: Is it the book he lost half his hair writing? The one he’s been writing for several years?!

Meng Po took the book and threw it into the reincarnation pool without saying a word.

Recently, there was a lot of buzz in A city. According to reports, that day the sky was dark and it was raining, but suddenly the clouds cleared and the mist scattered. The whole sky was full of unusually shaped clouds tinged with sunset hues similar to the descriptions of deities descending on Earth. Humming was heard from the sky reminiscent of the lively snorting of pigs.

At the same time, a nurse in the city hospital’s delivery room exclaimed: What’s in this child’s mouth?!

Everyone gathered around the baby, who was bawling at the top of his lungs with a red face and a small mysterious something in his mouth. The mysterious object was carefully removed by the nurse, and everyone examined it. It appeared to be a small bamboo slip with two lines written on it. Unfortunately, the writing was too small to read.

People were shocked, and the local news continued to cover the story for a month. The great immortals from all walks of life came out one after the other, concluding that this child would undoubtedly grow into a capable person and a great writer whose reputation would go down in history.

Most people believed this, and they waited with bated breath for the child to shock the world.

Only one person was still skeptical.

This person was named Su Yu. He was seven years old this year, and he was that child’s neighbor.

151.

Why was Su Yu skeptical? In fact, he had no idea whether his name would go down in history, but he spent every day playing with that little brother named Xiao Bai. He had the impression that Xiao Bai did not enjoy reading. He was more fascinated by small animals.

Xiao Su Yu adored Xiao Bai and was concerned.

Everyone expected Xiao Bai to become a great writer, but that milky little meat bun only knew how to fool cats and dogs and pull the corner of his clothes and laugh foolishly. Will his mother chastise him if he does not become a writer in the future?

For a few days, Xiao Su Yu pondered. He didn’t want Xiao Bai to be chastised, so he had to work hard and read books by himself before going to tell Xiao Bai.

That day, he was reading A Dream of Red Mansions and it talked about Jia Baoyu throwing down the jade…

…When Baoyu heard this, he went insane. He removed the jade and tossed it away, cursing, ‘What rare thing? I don’t want any of this!’ The terrified crowd rushed to grab the jade.

Baoyu sobbed and said, “I don’t have any elder sisters or younger sisters at home; I am all alone. It’s not interesting to me. I’m aware it’s not a good thing.”

Xiao Su Yu was concentrating on the book when he heard crying outside the window. Xiao Bai sobbed and called out to him in a milky voice. Su Yu dashed out the door. Xiao Bai was sobbing bitterly, his face covered in snot and tears. He grabbed Su Yu’s sleeves and didn’t let go. Xiao Bai was holding the bamboo slip with which he was born. He was sobbing uncontrollably and appeared to be on the verge of passing out: Xiao-gege, I don’t want this broken thing! Wu wu wu…

For a while, Xiao Su Yu was in a trance.

Xiao Bai continued to cry: Xiao-gege doesn’t have it, grandpa Li doesn’t have it, only I have it. It’s definitely not a good thing! I don’t want it anymore!

Su Yu:…………

Su Yu was completely engrossed.

152.

The cause of this incident was that as Xiao Bai grew older, the bamboo slip grew larger and larger. The elders carefully examined it with a high-powered magnifying glass a few days ago, and they finally saw clearly what was written in the two lines of gold letters on the top—

The first line of text: postpartum care of sows (improved version)

Second line: Difu Publishing House

At the time, a few people fainted.

153.

The building housed an elderly man named Li. He enjoyed playing with children the most. When he heard Xiao Bai’s cry, he went downstairs and patted his head for comfort.

No one could persuade Xiao Bai because he was so depressed. Xiao Su Yu frowned and said: I read in a book about a Daoist priest who specializes in solving these kinds of problems. Do you know any Daoist priests, Grandpa Li? Let’s look for one for Xiao Bai!

Grandpa Li shook his head. His wife opened the upstairs window and poked her head out, yelling loudly: You rotten old man! Are you sure you’re not coming home for dinner? Do you want to starve to death outside?

Grandpa Li was unfazed. He raised his head, smiled, and asked: Wife, do we know any Daoist priests?

Grandma Li opened her mouth and was about to curse when she noticed Xiao Bai and Xiao Su Yu. Her expression was instantly kind, and after a brief moment of thought, she said: I really know one.

154.

When the free and unconstrained Daoist appeared, Su Yu and Xiao Bai were perplexed. He appeared to be too young, dressed in a baggy sweater. If it weren’t for the Daoist priest’s topknot, he’d look like a student who skipped class as he walked down the street.

The Daoist priest smiled at Xiao Bai and said: Long time no see.

In doubt, Xiao Bai wrinkled his little brows, pulled Su Yu’s sleeves, and asked in a milky voice: Xiao-gege, what does ‘long time no see’ mean?

Xiao Su Yu frowned as he explained: It means he’s seen you before.

Xiao Bai was perplexed even more. He blinked at the Daoist priest, intending to inquire as to when they had met, but instead blurted out: …Will you never grow old?

The Daoist priest was unconcerned. He chuckled and asked: Are you stupid? I’ve lived for many lifetimes!

He paused after he finished speaking as if he was listening to something, but there was no sound.

He went on to say, to the puzzled looks of those around him: Someone said that they were very happy to see you again. Congratulations, you are no longer required to live in a skeleton.

Xiao Bai didn’t understand and didn’t want to understand. He passed the small bamboo slip forward and stated emphatically: Why doesn’t anyone else have this postpartum care of sows! I don’t want this any more!

The Daoist priest remained silent: When you wrote this stuff back then, you almost went bald. Are you willing to give it up?

Xiao Bai burst into tears and blurted out: Not willing.

The Daoist priest laughed: Hah! Meng Po’s soup had to have been diluted with water. I don’t care. I’ll go home and make some ice cream.

With a wronged expression, Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Su Yu. Xiao Su Yu sighed and said: Forget about it. Let’s go read A Dream of Red Mansions at home…

155.

Twenty years later, Su Yu went on to become a well-known writer, while Xiao Bai used his natural talent to become a global animal husbandry tycoon.

They looked at the wedding ring they were going to put on each other the day before the wedding. They obviously liked it a lot when they first chose it, but they no longer do.

Then they greeted an uninvited guest.

The young Daoist priest stood at the door, raising his brows, and said: I will give you two rings.

Xiao Bai eagerly went to see it, then frowned: Why is this a women’s ring?

He picked it up and examined it carefully, then asked: Why does it appear to have been burned?

The Daoist priest stated solemnly: True gold is not afraid of fire.

The ring was visually appealing, and he felt an unfathomable familiarity when he held it in his hand. So Xiao Bai accepted it with grace.

Su Yu inquired: Where did you get this ring?

The Daoist priest maintained an enigmatic expression and did not respond.

Xiao Bai also approached him and asked: Where did it come from?

The Daoist priest remained silent.

Xiao Bai then used his persuasion skills. The Daoist was silent for a moment before replying calmly: It was pulled out of the ashes.

Xiao Bai: ……???

Su Yu: ………???

156.

The wedding took place on the beach. There weren’t many guests but all of them were friends. Su Yu took Xiao Bai’s hand in his and smiled: I’ve always felt that I wanted to marry you for a long time, but I can’t remember when I first felt that way.

Tsundere Xiao Bai cocked his brow: How long can it be? Even if you start counting from my birth date, it will only be about 30 years.

Su Yu shook his head: I think it’s a lot longer than that.

Xiao Bai smiled and tilted his head: I seem to feel the same way.

In a place invisible to people:

Ghost A wiped his tears: Our expert is finally getting married! Wu wu wu…

Ghost B: The pigs in the underworld miss him so much!

Little Spotted Pig: Humph! Humph!

Ghost C: Oh, Old man Li is here too! Grandpa! Grandpa!

Ghost D exploded and pushed the trembling man back into the chair: Don’t be like a baby!

Ghost E: It's a good thing that the love of people who have been entangled for many lifetimes has finally blossomed and bore fruit.

Ghost F: Yeah, that’s great.

Fireworks burst into the sky like shooting stars, exploding one after the other like beautiful flowers in the sky.

The two exchanged rings under the bright fireworks, their mouths curved in a smile as they looked at each other.

—Every encounter is a long-awaited reunion.

—I’ll hold you tight.

The author has something to say:

It’s over! Akimbo.jpg

Every encounter is a reunion after a long separation, every first meeting may have several lifetimes of entanglement behind it.

I hope everyone can meet the one who is destined to love you~

My fav: No. 147. It’s just soooo Xiaobai 😆 This chapter didn’t have a title so I took the liberty to add the “?”. It fits, doesn’t it? The last three chapters were a real surprise. I never saw them coming I love how the author fit the side characters like the Li couple and the ghost-Daoist pair in this final chapter.

Hope you enjoyed reading this
