One is the Gao young miss who is currently just a wandering spirit inside a mirror that wants to help them live. While the other is the Prince of the Underworld that is trying to convince the other or them that there is nothing to worry about once death arrives.
Some are even persuaded, especially after hearing a statement like:
"Everything is provided. Food, shelter, and clothing. No need to also worry about sickness or aging. So what"s so scary about it?" Yen Mingjue asked this to Gao Lan Mei. "Trust me, I will take care of everything!"
Gao Lan Mei snorted, "Hmp. As if we can bypa.s.s the rules and regulations just because you say it. Do not listen to him. The book of life will show your record and it will decide your faith in the Underworld."
"..." What is this? He really sounds like a professional con artist for them. They almost believe that they do not need to worry about the afterlife!
Yen Mingjue replied with mock surprise, "How do you even know that? Have you-"
"Do not talk nonsense." Gao Lan Mei cut him off immediately.
"Riiight." Yen Mingjue said, dragging his word in a mocking manner. "How secretive." He continued to mumble which Gao Lan Mei just ignored.
Unable to watch further, Yin Fu asked solemnly, "Ms. Gao, Your Highness, all of us wants to live. If there is a plan we will gladly cooperate."
Yin Fu decided to ignore the fact that they are all depending on two beings that is not even in their real physical form. However, the fact that these two can still act like there are not in a predicament may not be a totally bad thing.
He himself new that there is really something amiss in s.h.i.+zi Empire, to be exactly the problem is on the Mortal Domain itself.
The main fact that no one is still helping them even if from other Empire or City from Justice Affairs is already a questionable thing.
"Plan? Well first is that we protect Miss Sung while she is trying to refine the Soul Eater." Gao Lan Mei said. "We need to know if she will fail or not."
At this time, Sung Zhi Ruo is paler than earlier. Her lips are turning blue as she tries to refine the forbidden treasure.
"Then what?" Ma Fei Hong asked suddenly. She is now standing next to Gao Lan Mei"s body. "We can just use Cuojue. You can already completely control this treasure right?"
Gao Lan Mei answered truthfully, "Cuojue can only be controlled on a limited extent. The leader of the YinYing"s earlier is not someone we can fight head-on. Aside from saving Xiao s.h.i.+, if we can have the Soul Eater, that can even immobilize a wraith why not."
"Are you still going to try to get back to your body?" Ma Fei Hong questioned. She already stopped question how Gao Lan Mei will do it, but mostly when it will be done. For Deacon, the Gao Miss is a genius that even beings from the Immortal Domain cannot compare.
Gao Lan Mei: "Soon. Let me think of another plan."
With the feats that Gao Lan Mei had done so far, even if some of it is not really successful on saving them, no one will blame the other.
As a Deacon, it is supposed to be her responsibility to take care of this mess, but now Ma Fei Hong needs to depend on beings that are not even part of Justice Affairs.
Ma Fei Hong vowed to exact her revenge very soon to the traitors that allowed such calamity to befall s.h.i.+zi Empire. If she needs to sell her soul to be a slave for eternity she will gladly do so!
Probably it is not a coincidence that there is a death G.o.d near them. "You"re Highness if I cannot survive-"
"Stop." Yen Mingjue interrupted, "Deacon Ma, I can feel your desire to kill and your intent to sacrifice. However, you may not be qualified for your request."
"How did yo-" She halted, before continuing, "Not qualified? What are the qualifications?" Ma Fei Hong cannot believe that she was turned down before she can even voice out her intent.
"Oh? Interesting, you have standard now?" Gao Lan Mei taunted Yen Mingjue.
"Tsk. Do you want me to bring a tainted spirit as a wraith? Are you asking my father to kick me out of the Underworld sooner?"
Ma Fei Hong was shocked after hearing Yen Mingjue, "Your Highness, please tell me what do you mean?" She asked, her voice trembling since it is the first she heard such a thing.
"Beings that are almost consumed by impurities cannot be reincarnated."
