For a two-thousand-year-old immortal to have his strength was already considered pretty good. However, for some reason, he could hear the obvious disdain in Jiujiu's words.
Xiu Yi recited several times in his heart, "A good man does not fight with a woman." Only then did he barely suppress his impulse to hit Jiujiu. He said snappily, "The immortals here are different from the ones in your world. Can you not generalize?"
Jiujiu nodded. "Yes, you can pick up scraps and become immortals here. In my world, if we don't have any cultivation, we would be embarrassed to call ourselves immortals."
Xiu Yi felt that if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't beat Jiujiu, he would have beaten her up long ago.
At this moment, Black Tortoise, who had left Jiujiu and Xiu Yi, found Lele.
Seeing Lele, who was not even as tall as his calf, Xiu Yi was startled. Then, he called out softly, "Ling'er."
Hearing that familiar yet strange voice, which made her love yet hate, Lele's body froze. Then, she quickly turned her head. The moment she saw Black Tortoise, her beautiful and transparent eyes shot out hatred. However, there was also love mixed in. It was extremely complicated.
Black Tortoise frowned slightly at Lele's love. He looked at Lele with a serious expression. After a long time, he sighed and said softly, "Ling'er, do you know your mistake?"
Black Tortoise's words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished the love in Lele's eyes. Slowly, what was left was hatred.
Lele looked at Black Tortoise with a sullen face and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Black Tortoise said, "I'm here to send you to reincarnation. Ling'er, you took over another's body and killed so many souls. You have already violated the laws of heaven. With your cultivation, I'm afraid you can't withstand the lightning tribulation."
"What does my life have to do with you?" Hearing that Black Tortoise wanted to send her to reincarnation, Lele's eyes instantly widened. She gritted her teeth and said, "When you found out that I liked you, you wanted to send me to reincarnation. Now, it's the same. Have you asked for my opinion?"
"Master is doing this for your own good."
Hearing this familiar "for your own good", Lele looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time. Then, he snorted and said, "If you really want my good, then marry me. If you don't, then leave. I don't want to see you again."
Black Tortoise originally thought that after five hundred years of reincarnation, Lele should be able to let go of the ill-fated relationship between him and her. However, he did not expect that after five hundred years, Lele still wanted to be with him. After a long sigh, Black Tortoise said softly, "Master already has someone in his heart. I can't do as you wish."
Hearing Black Tortoise say that he already had someone he liked, Lele's eyes were filled with killing intent. "Who is it?"
"Lele"...... " Thinking of that beautiful figure, Black Tortoise almost subconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth to reveal a very faint smile, and his eyes also carried a bit of longing.
If they really had to make an exchange, the Black Tortoise would rather not be the Lord of the Underworld and leave the Yellow Springs with her. Unfortunately, he chose to give up on her for the sake of this position. As a result, in the following tens of thousands of years, he had been missing her, cherishing her memory, and waiting for her to reappear.
However, the Meng Po of the Yellow Springs had changed one after another, but he had never seen the Meng Po who was as beautiful as a flower.
Seeing Black Tortoise's longing expression, Lele once again thought of the portrait she saw in Black Tortoise's room.
That portrait only showed a back view, but Black Tortoise could look at it for an entire day. Sometimes, as he looked at it, he would cry in a low voice. Her heart could not help but hurt.
At that time, Lele was still young. She did not understand why she would cry when she saw Black Tortoise looking at the portrait. However, when she knew why her heart ached, Black Tortoise wanted to send her to reincarnation.
Lele wanted to be with Black Tortoise. She was not willing to give up this memory, so she began a life of snatching souls. However, five hundred years had passed. She did not know how many bodies she had changed, but Black Tortoise was still waiting for the person in the portrait. Lele inexplicably smiled.
She suddenly felt that she understood Black Tortoise.
In these five hundred years, although she did not have a portrait of Black Tortoise, as long as she had time, she would constantly recall the time she spent with Black Tortoise. Black Tortoise was the same as her.
However, the difference was that Black Tortoise saw the girl through the portrait, while she relied on her memories to return to the present.
Lele persevered for so many years. Her heart was extremely tired. At this moment, she suddenly saw through her experiences with Black Tortoise. She suddenly felt that her perseverance for so many years was meaningless. Lele looked at Black Tortoise and softly said, "Okay, I will reincarnate."
Black Tortoise originally thought that if Lele did not want to reincarnate, he would use some methods. Now that Lele was willing to reincarnate, he immediately brought Lele into reincarnation.
After taking care of Lele, Jiujiu followed Xiu Yi back to Yellow Springs.
When the two returned to Yellow Springs, the Black and White Impermanence were already gone. Only the Red Spider Lilies were left in Yellow Springs.
The Red Spider Lilies bloomed for a thousand years. They withered for a thousand years. They withered for a thousand years. They withered for a thousand years. They withered for a thousand years.
Jiujiu walked to the side of a Red Spider Lily. She reached out and plucked a flower seed. Just as she held it in her hand, she felt a wave of energy. She turned her head and saw Lele and Black Tortoise appear.
At this moment, Lele had already returned to her original appearance as an earth spirit. However, because she changed her body over the years, her eyes no longer had the spiritual aura of an earth spirit. Instead, there was a bit of evil aura.
Lele looked at Jiujiu standing beside the Red Spider Lily. For some reason, she felt that she was somewhat familiar. However, when she thought about it again, she could not remember where she had seen Jiujiu before.
Black Tortoise also looked at Jiujiu like Lele. Then, he plucked a Red Spider Lily, threw it into the pot, and stirred it with a spoon.
Following Black Tortoise's movements, the blood-red Red Spider Lily slowly turned into a soup, emitting an enchanting fragrance.
Lele watched Black Tortoise's movements with infatuation. When Black Tortoise brought the soup over, she sniffed it and said, "It really is Meng Po's Soup. Master's is the best."
Hearing Lele say that his Meng Po's Soup was the best, Black Tortoise could not help but look at Jiujiu. Then, he shook his head and muttered, "No, there is someone who cooks better than me."
In response to Black Tortoise's nostalgic words, Lele only pursed her lips and smiled. She picked up the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp. Then, she quickly walked toward the pot.
Meng Po's Soup could make people forget their past. No matter if you were a human or a god, as long as you drank this bowl of soup, you would be no different from other souls.
After Lele left, Jiujiu looked at Black Tortoise and asked in confusion, "Isn't Meng Po's Soup said to be boiled with a lifetime of tears? Why did you use Red Spider Lilies?"
Black Tortoise smiled faintly. "Because Meng Po's Soup was originally boiled with Red Spider Lilies."
After Black Tortoise said this, he disappeared just like how he came.
