Chapter 1318: A Lifetime

"A lifetime." The little boy grinned, the chill on his face growing increasingly gloomy.

"A lifetime?" Chen Yu was furious: "You little brat, who did you learn this from? I am taking her away now. Let her go immediately; you have one last chance."

"How about you stay here too?" The little boy sneered, his face filled with a sinister chill. He pointed his right hand, and an ice wall suddenly formed, sealing Chen Yu within it.

"Chen Yu..." Liu Ruxi screamed in alarm.

"Calling him is useless," the little boy sneered. "In this place, I am in charge."

"Little brat..." Just then, with a *crack*, the ice layer sealing Chen Yu slowly split open, and he returned to normal.

"You're alright?" Liu Ruxi was both shocked and delighted; she had thought Chen Yu had been subdued by this little brat just a moment ago.

"Of course I'm alright. This little brat is powerful, sure, but he's still far from my level," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Don't take him too seriously, and don't worry, I will save you."

"You are all bad people." Veins bulged and intertwined on the little boy's face, making his expression look extremely ferocious and terrifying. He roared: "I want to keep both of you here, I want you both to keep me company."

As the little boy spoke, he suddenly beckoned with his right hand, and the basketball in his hand suddenly exploded.

Where was the basketball in his hand? It was actually a human head that looked extremely ferocious and terrifying. With a roar, this head let out a savage cry and then lunged fiercely at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu put his hands together and pointed forward. A biting cold Primordial Qi whistled out, and with a *bang*, the head exploded.

The little boy shrieked. His eyes were blood-red as he stared coldly at Chen Yu, panting heavily as he roared: "You are all bad people, I want to have my grandfather come and catch you."

"Little brat, you've been here for quite a while, haven't you?" Chen Yu furrowed his brows and said: "Now I'll give you a chance. I'll send you out to be reincarnated as a human again. Are you willing?"

"Heh, what does it matter to you how long I've been here? Reincarnated as a human?" The little boy's expression was ferocious and terrifying, and a surge of anger radiated from his body: "What's the point of being human? All living things suffer; isn't it better to be a ghost?"

"Your way of thinking is quite unique," Chen Yu was slightly stunned: "Did you suffer some kind of trauma while you were alive?"

"Heh, none of your business." The little boy's body suddenly swelled, and he opened his blood-red maw to bite at Chen Yu, showing no intention of holding back.

Chen Yu didn't indulge him either. He splayed his five fingers and slapped him across the face, then broke off a tree branch with his right hand, wiped his hand across the branch, and lashed out at him with a *snap*.

The moment Chen Yu wiped the tree branch, he had already imbued it with Original Power.

As the branch struck, with a *hiss*, a trail of white smoke rose from the little boy's body.

The little boy shrieked, his body instantly returning to its original size, but he remained defiant, glaring with his eyes and baring his fangs at Chen Yu from time to time.

"Still not convinced?" Chen Yu sneered: "Then I'll beat you until you are."

Chen Yu stopped being polite with this kid; after all, it wouldn't do to not teach this guy a lesson.

He swung the branch in his hand, smiling as he struck the kid aimlessly. *Snap, snap, snap*, he whipped him until the guy had almost nowhere to hide.

After a fierce whipping, the kid finally became obedient and lay on the ground, begging bitterly for mercy.

"Are you convinced or not?" Chen Yu asked.

"Convinced, I'm convinced, please don't hit me anymore." The little boy nodded repeatedly; his previous ferocity was likely all an act.

"Then will you go to Reincarnation?" Chen Yu asked.

"I won't, the human world is too bitter." Tears welled up in the little boy's eyes.

"So you're still not convinced," Chen Yu sneered.

Just then, an old ghost appeared and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Chen Yu: "Immortal, please show mercy. This child is not bad at heart; he was just hurt. He only scares people here and has never truly harmed anyone."

"Never harmed anyone? If I hadn't come along, he would have kept people here forever." Chen Yu glanced at the old ghost. Judging by his attire, he looked like a vagrant, and he had probably been dead for many years.

"I'm telling the truth, he was just playing pranks," the old ghost sighed and said: "This child's mother divorced his father and found a new boyfriend. She was afraid the child would be a burden, so she abandoned him here."

"But who could have guessed that the child would be hit and killed by a large truck? He has been waiting here for his mother, but that heartless woman has never come to see him even once," the old ghost said: "He has resentment in his heart and has sworn never to be human again."

"So that's how it is. He's so pitiful. Chen Yu, is there any way you can help him?" Hearing the little boy's plight, Liu Ruxi couldn't bear it. She asked Chen Yu: "Think of a way to help him go to Reincarnation."

"If he isn't willing to go to Reincarnation, no one can do anything. In matters like this, he must be willing himself," Chen Yu sighed and said: "However, he has a knot in his heart. If the knot is untied, perhaps he will change his mind."

"Do you have any wishes?" Liu Ruxi asked.

"No." The little boy paused, then said: "I miss my dad."

"What is your dad's name? I'll help you find him," Chen Yu said: "Or... I can call your mother over too, so you can see her as well."

"I don't want to see her." The little ghost's face was full of malice: "She didn't want me anymore; I never want to see her again."

"Alright then, within three days, I will help you find your dad," Chen Yu said: "What is your dad's name? What does he do for a living?"

"His name is Wang Jun, he's an ordinary wage earner. My mom looked down on him for having no ability and divorced him, but Dad was very good to me, and he was good to her too..." The little boy lowered his head, tears slowly streaming down.

"We were very happy together, but she insisted on cars, houses, jewelry, and bags, and she wanted to compare herself to other women, scolding Dad every day for being useless," the little boy said: "I hate her, and I don't want to be human anymore."

Chen Yu felt helpless. It is rare for a mother to heartlessly abandon her own son, but such things do exist in reality. He just didn't know how that woman was doing now, or if she would ever regret it.

"Fine, I'll help you find your dad and let him see you, but you must promise me that after you see him, you will go to Reincarnation," Chen Yu said: "You are still young, and you still have a chance at Reincarnation. If you stay in this world for too long, the only result will be to vanish into thin air."

"Okay, just bring my dad to see me," the little boy said: "My name is Huihui. After you find him, tell him about the promise between us. He said he was going to take me to the amusement park."
