Chapter 620: A Brief Evasion

"Can I see her now?" Shi Chengye was startled.

"Yes, those unrelated, please step aside," Chen Yu waved his hand.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Chen Yu, Shi Chengye, and Zhou Ming at the scene.

Chen Yu burned a Talisman Paper between his fingers, silently recited a spell, and then pointed at the ground.

A ring of fire formed on the ground from the burning Talisman Paper, and within the ring, a woman wearing white clothes with long, flowing hair appeared.

The woman's figure was semi-transparent and looked so thin that it seemed a gust of wind could blow her away.

She was indeed Shi Ying; although she had been suppressed in the Soul Locking Tower for three years and her Soul Consciousness was so weak it was nearly extinguished, she could still not hide the temperament she possessed.

From her temperament, one could tell she was a woman as gentle as water in her lifetime; if one were to take her as a wife, she would surely be a virtuous helpmate.

"Yingying, is it you, Yingying?" Shi Chengye said with a trembling voice. Shi Ying was only in her teens when their father passed away, and it was Shi Chengye who had raised her to adulthood.

The two were family, but their reunion was separated by the boundary between the living and the dead.

"Brother, it is me," Shi Ying smiled slightly, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"Yingying..." Shi Chengye, a godfather-level figure, had tears fall instantly. He stepped forward, wanting to hold Shi Ying's hand, but Shi Ying's figure flashed, and she retreated a few steps.

"She is a soul body now, and your Yang energy is too strong; you cannot make contact with her. Time is short, so you siblings should have a good talk," Chen Yu sighed slightly.

"Yingying, it is your big brother who failed you. It is I who did not take good care of you. If I had opposed you being together back then, perhaps this would not have happened," Shi Chengye cried.

"Big brother, after three years in the Soul Locking Tower, I have seen through everything," Shi Ying smiled. "This is Life, do not blame yourself, and do not blame anyone else. Even if there is fault, it lies with me; I should not have ignored your words back then."

"The children, how are the children?" Shi Chengye remembered his two nephews.

Two more flashes of fire appeared, and the giggling of two infants came from the side. These two infants were Shi Chengye's nephews; they were only one year old when they were in the car accident.

Although three years had passed in the Soul Locking Tower, they still maintained their infant state.

The two little ones did not know anything about the gravity of life and death; they only knew they had seen their mother again, and the two children happily snuggled up to her.

"Big brother, they are both fine, and this time, as we escape the Soul Locking Tower, we can still be mother and children in the next life," Shi Ying smiled faintly, without any expression of grief.

"Good, good, the three of you go on the road together, and be mother and children again in the next life," Shi Chengye felt sorrow in his heart and wiped his tears incessantly.

"Yingying, it is I who failed you, I failed the children, it is all my fault," Zhou Ming cried out loudly from the side.

Before this, he had not felt a shred of guilt for the death of his wife and children, as he had always insisted that the two sons were not his.

But now that the truth was revealed, he was filled with immense regret. He pounded the ground desperately and slammed his head against the floor, knocking his head until it was covered in blood.

"Zhou Ming, in this life, I gave you everything," Shi Ying looked at Zhou Ming, her face showing not a ripple of emotion. "But I did not expect that I had ultimately entrusted it to the wrong person."

"I'm sorry, Yingying, I will die right now, I will accompany you on the road," Zhou Ming cried.

"No need. Our fate from the previous life has ended. From now on, you and I, as well as the two children, have no relationship," Shi Ying shook her head. "To you, we are strangers now. You should go."

"Yingying, it is I who failed you. I dare not ask for your forgiveness; I only seek death to accompany you on the road," Zhou Ming cried.

"Get out! What right do you have?" Shi Chengye was furious and kicked Zhou Ming away. "I will kill you right now."

"Brother, let him go," Shi Ying smiled. "I said, he is just a stranger to me now."

"This bastard watched you and the two children die without helping; letting him go is too easy on him," Shi Chengye said angrily.

"Living is the greatest punishment for him," Shi Ying shook her head. "Brother, I do not want to pursue this anymore, and I do not want to see him again. Let him go."

"Get out," Shi Chengye kicked Zhou Ming away.

"Yingying, I'm sorry, I failed you and the children," Zhou Ming cried while crawling on the ground, kowtowing heavily several times before scrambling away.

"President Shi, the time is almost up. I will now have the Underworld Yin Official take the mother and her two children on their way. Rest assured, they will still be family in the next life," Chen Yu said.

"That is good. Thank you, Mr. Chen. I, Shi Chengye, will remember this great kindness for the rest of my life. If there is anything you need in the future, I, Shi Chengye, will support you with my life," Shi Chengye said, shedding tears.

Chen Yu nodded and shouted, "Yinxian."

"Immortal, I am here." With a flash of Yin energy, the tall figure of Yinxian appeared before Chen Yu again.

Ever since Chen Yu summoned him last time, a contract had formed between the two; as long as the time was right, Chen Yu could call him out at any time.

"I entrust this mother and her two children to you," Chen Yu said.

"Yes. It is not difficult to guide them to reincarnation and have them find a wealthy family, but Immortal, I have a method to let the mother and her two children remain in this world and live like normal people, though they would need to change their identities," Yinxian hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What you are talking about is Possession?" Chen Yu frowned.

"Correct, Possession, but different from ordinary Possession," Yinxian bowed. "Our duty as Yin Officials is to lock souls, and the Soul-Locking Order is generated in advance."

"We have seen too many partings of life and death, and we also see all kinds of identities. If there is a pregnant woman carrying twins who is destined to die in childbirth at a certain time..."

Chen Yu understood instantly. "You mean to let Shi Ying and her two children deceive the Heavenly Dao, possess the pregnant woman, and live as them?"

"Yes, that is exactly what I mean," Yinxian said.

"Mr. Chen, is that really possible?" Shi Chengye looked at Chen Yu nervously. If his sister and nephews could live in this way, he could accept it.

"Theoretically it is possible, but there are a few problems that need to be solved," Chen Yu said. "First, we need to find a pregnant woman of similar age to Shi Ying who is carrying two boys and is destined to die naturally."

"Second, once the Soul-Locking Order is issued, the mother and her two children must return to the Underworld. We need to deceive the heavens to let them continue living without being discovered by the Heavenly Dao."

"Third..." Chen Yu paused here. "We need the other party's family to accept this approach. If they do not agree, we cannot do it."
