Xiangyu: I would like to borrow thirty thousand merit points from you!
Chen: Why do you want so many merit points?"
He had just gotten thirty thousand merit points a while ago. Why was Xiangyu asking for thirty thousand merit points? And so anxiously at that too?
Xiangyu: It's like this, I still need another thirty thousand merit points, so that I can ask Yanwang for a chance to be reincarnated through a corpse.
"Reincarnation through a corpse?"
Chen stared open-mouthed at the screen. His face was filled with confusion.
The first thing that came to mind in bold letters were these two words – Interdimensional travel.
The soul of Xiangyu was going to be transferred to some rotten corpse. A dramatic sequence zombies risings from their graves and walking about was about to happen soon.
Wait, isn't this the storyline of some online novel?
Chen: What will happen?
Xiangyu: God Chen, you should know, that to practice in the boundary, gaining merit points is very difficult. But if I can reincarnate , I will then be able to earn merit points in the mortal world. That way, the chances of me becoming the Guardian of Ground would increase greatly!
Chen: Oh, so that's why. But…
Xiangyu: I understand. Thirty thousand merit points is not a small number. If you are willing to lend them to me, after I reincarnate, I will be your follower until the debt is completely paid off.
"Damn son! Oh my god!
Looking at the message on his screen, Chen felt his scalp tingle, and the blood in his body boiled!
It was Xiangyu, The King!
In many people's hearts, he was the irrefutable, legendary hero!
There was a saying; where one's ability is so great that he can swallow the sky and the ground.
This cool, legendary superhero, was willing to become Chen's follower?!
Cool!
Chen's was overwhelmed with excitement. He did not even think twice and sent out the text: I'll lend it!
Xiangyu: Good! I have misjudged you! You are definitely like a brother to me! You are much better than those stingy deities!
Chen: You're welcome! Please receive the package, Xiangyu.
When he had sent the text, Chen immediately took out thirty thousand merit points from the chest and sent them to Xiangyu.
Ding!
[Xiangyu has received your red envelope!]
Xiangyu: The package has arrived, I will immediately look for Yanwang! My God, please wait for a moment!
Chen: Don't call me God Chen from today onwards, just call me Bro Bei!"
Xiangyu: Bro Bei, please wait for a moment!"
"Oh my god! This is way too awesome! Xiangyu, The King actually called me his bro! No one has this privilege except for me! Wakaka…"
When Chen looked at the text, he was extremely elated!
He thought about how, in the near future, wherever he goes, a trail of kingly aura would be trailing behind him, a follower with fifty thousand combat power!
Chen was so happy that he lost himself!
"By that time, powerful people like Mu Rongtian and Wen Tiandou are going to become my humble little brothers! The invincible Xiangyu is going to teach them some life lessons!" Chen thought.
Chen laid on the grass, fell asleep, and dreamed a super sweet dream!
When he woke up, it had already been two hours.
Ding
His phone vibrated. He had just received a message.
Xiangyu: Boss! I have already received the Order of Reincarnation! Are you ready to accept it?
Chen thought, "What the hell is the Order of Reincarnation? Oh, who cares, let me accept it first. I can't wait!"
Chen: I'm ready!
Xiangyu: Once you have accepted it, you'll receive it immediately. Until then, you can only talk to me through this Jade piece.
Right after that, his phone vibrated.
Ding
[Congratulations, you have received Xiangyu's red packet; the Jade of Reincarnation. It has already been stored in the treasure chest.]
Chen quickly opened the treasure chest up.
Ding
[The Jade of Reincarnation belongs to hell! It can be used to perform reincarnation through corpses! Would you like to retrieve it?]
Yes!
Along with a flash, a bluish cold jade appeared in Chen's hand.
"Boss! We finally meet!"
Inside the blueish cold jade, a fist-size apparition appeared.
It was a cool man in ancient armor and cape that flowed behind him. His eyes were lively, and his tone was sturdy.
Even though it was just an apparition, Chen could feel the kingly aura!
This was really the soul of Xiangyu!
If the real Xiangyu with a physical body appeared right here, the presence of kingly aura would definitely be ten folds stronger!
Chen was abuzz with excitement because he had just recruited a very powerful follower!
"Xiangyu, what should I do now to help you to reincarnate?" Chen asked eagerly.
"That's simple. All you need to do is to find a fresh corpse within these three days. Then, place the Jade of Reincarnation on it. My soul will then enter the body, and it will receive new life!" Xaingyu said.
"Three days? Why is there a time limit?" Chen was taken aback.
"Souls belong to hell. They are not recognized by the human world. If the body could not be found in three days, my soul will be destroyed forever!" Xaingyu said.
"Shit! I did not know that a soul can be destroyed! This is too serious…" When Chen heard this, cold sweat rolled down his cheeks.
"Oh? Bro Bei, is there anything wrong?" Xiangyu asked.
Chen swallowed and said, embarrassed, "I'm afraid that I can't find a fresh corpse within three days…"
This is earth!
He can't just walk into the hospital and buy a body, can he?
Even if he could afford it, would the family of the deceased allow it?
"This…"
Xiangyu was puzzled and asked worriedly, "If you haven't found the body, why did you say that you were ready when I asked you just now?"
"Oh… I did not know that a body is needed…" Chen said. He was so guilty he wanted to dig his own grave.
"F*ck you! If a body is not needed for reincarnation, what should I use for reincarnation?! Are you trying to kill me?!" Xiangyu was angered by Chen. He put down his identity as a king and scolded Chen.
Chen was to be blamed for this. He had accepted Jade of reincarnation without clarifying things.
It was no wonder that Xiangyu was so mad. Such a big misunderstanding had pushed Xiangyu closer to his grave!
"Xiangyu… Don't worry. There are still three days left. I will do my best to help you find a suitable body!"
Chen recollected himself and said reassuringly, "There is an old saying, there will be a car when you are at the bottom of the mountain trying to go up and when there's path, a handsome young lad will definitely show up!"
"Stop talking crap! If you can't find a body in three days, I will haunt you for life when I turn into an evil spirit! Motherf*cker…" Xiangyu was so dismayed that he was close to tears.
I was a hero for life and now I'm going to die because of this stupid asshole! Xiangyu was feeling bitter inside his heart.
"Ah!!!"
Just then, a horrifying scream that sent goosebumps rushing up, came from inside the house!
"That's Wenyuan's voice! Shit! Something horrible has happened!"
Chen's face changed completely. He jumped off the grass and ran quickly towards the house.
He saw that Old Man Wen's "QI" was not stable earlier. Along with the scream, something really bad must have happened to him!
When Chen rushed into the house, the scene before his eyes shocked him beyond words.
