Chapter 736: Wait for Me to Take You Away

~7 min read 1,330 words

"Chen Yu?" Yu Sichen stood up, staring blankly at that familiar figure, then suddenly she lunged forward and hugged him tightly.

"Take me away. From now on, whether it's the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea, I will accompany you. Regardless of life or death, regardless of wealth or poverty." Yu Sichen's voice was firm: "If you don't take me away, three days from now at the engagement ceremony, I will end my life to conclude my remaining days."

"There's no need for that. With me here, you won't reach that point." Chen Yu smiled and said: "You must remember, you are Yu Sichen. If you just left like that, then what would you become?"

"In my parents' eyes, I am nothing more than a tool." Tears hung from the corners of Yu Sichen's eyes: "I want to sever ties with them, in front of everyone."

"Very well, three days from now, at your engagement ceremony, I will take you away." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Rest assured, I can handle these matters."

"I believe you can handle it well. In my eyes, you are an omnipotent god." Tears hung from the corners of Yu Sichen's eyes, but she was smiling.

"Let's go, I'll take you out to clear your mind." Chen Yu smiled.

"But... this will be discovered." Yu Sichen was somewhat hesitant.

"That's simple." Chen Yu took out a Paper Man cut from yellow paper and placed it on the bed to the side.

The yellow paper was covered in dense symbols. Chen Yu took a drop of Yu Sichen's fresh blood, then used a Wolf Hair Brush to write her birth date and time on the Paper Man. After finishing, he formed a Dao Formula with both hands, drawing in the void, and finally, with a clear shout, he pointed from afar at the yellow paper.

A flash of Spiritual Light flickered, and a person exactly identical to Yu Sichen lay on the bed.

Yu Sichen covered her mouth, looking at everything before her in shock. Could Chen Yu really perform magic?

"Some minor Daoist techniques, an External Incarnation." Chen Yu covered the phantom Yu Sichen on the bed with a quilt; this way, even if someone came in, they would think she was sleeping.

"Let's go." Chen Yu pulled her to the window.

"But, but this is the third floor." Yu Sichen shrank back a little.

Even if the Yu Clan had been kicked out of the ranks of the wealthy, a camel that is dying is still bigger than a horse; they could still afford to live in a detached villa. This was the third floor; how were they going to get down?

"Hold me tight." Chen Yu smiled.

Yu Sichen hugged Chen Yu's waist without hesitation, and then Chen Yu leaped from the third floor just like that.

Yu Sichen couldn't help but exclaim, but this feeling of riding the clouds and mist was also wonderful.

After landing, Yu Sichen looked at Chen Yu with a face full of admiration. She had previously only known that Chen Yu had some unconventional methods, but she hadn't known he was this formidable. In an instant, Chen Yu was elevated to the status of a god in her heart.

Chen Yu took her, and with a few leaps, they were already outside the villa. Yu Sichen's tense mood suddenly relaxed in this moment; she was like a little bird released, completely free.

"Where are we going?" Yu Sichen asked, gripping Chen Yu's hand.

"Jizhao Nunnery, to send a departed soul to the afterlife." Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

At dawn, at Jizhao Nunnery, the Reincarnation Dharma Assembly proceeded as usual.

Chen Yu summoned the soul of Wu Mingyue. The current Wu Mingyue was all alone, and the two black masses in her abdomen represented her two children.

Because the two children were never born, they could not take human form; they would fall into Reincarnation along with Wu Mingyue to be reborn as humans.

"Mr. Chen, thank you." Although Wu Mingyue was dead, she was perfectly clear about what had happened to her.

"You're welcome. I have no way to let you stay in this world, I am very sorry." Chen Yu bowed his head slightly.

"No, I should thank you. At least you let the three of us, mother and children, live in this world in another way." Wu Mingyue bowed deeply to Chen Yu.

"Talk well with your husband." Chen Yu sighed. The affection between Wu Mingyue and Jiang Chenghai was quite deep, but the cruelty was that this meeting was their final farewell.

"Mr. Chen, has she come? Why can't I see her?" Jiang Chenghai stood to the side, watching Chen Yu speak to the air, feeling extremely anxious.

"You might see many things, but you don't need to be afraid; those things cannot harm you." As Chen Yu spoke, he tapped lightly between Jiang Chenghai's eyebrows, and a black-and-white world appeared before Jiang Chenghai's eyes.

After seeing the world before him clearly, he couldn't help but gasp. He saw that in the long corridor, countless lonely souls with terrifying Appearances were atoning for their sins.

"Chenghai..." A familiar voice rang in Jiang Chenghai's ears.

Jiang Chenghai turned his head to look and saw his wife, Wu Mingyue, standing right before him, looking at him with deep affection. His lips trembled, and he was too moved to speak. Finally, he collapsed to the ground, and the couple wept bitterly.

Yu Sichen could not see these things before them, so she couldn't help but ask: "Chen Yu, I want to see."

"This place is Jizhao Nunnery, dedicated to ferrying departed souls who cannot transcend. Every night at dawn, a Soul Ferrying Dharma Assembly is held." Chen Yu pointed to the long corridor ahead: "In this place, there are countless things you cannot see repenting for the sins of their past lives. These things look a bit scary; are you sure you want to see?"

"Very scary?" Yu Sichen hesitated, then shook her head and said: "Then never mind."

Regarding the final farewell of the Jiang Chenghai couple, Chen Yu felt he should leave them more space; after all, this parting was a separation between the living and the dead, and there would be no possibility of meeting again.

The couple talked for a long time. Until three o'clock in the morning, amidst the sounds of Buddhist chants, Wu Mingyue waved goodbye to Jiang Chenghai. She stepped on Green Lotus blossoms and entered Reincarnation. Jiang Chenghai knelt on the ground and wept uncontrollably; this parting was a final farewell.

"It's time to go back. If we go back any later, we might be exposed." Chen Yu looked at Yu Sichen.

Yu Sichen looked reluctant, but she had no choice now. She nodded slightly and followed Chen Yu back.

Chen Yu quietly sent her back and then drifted away. By this time, the east was already glowing with a hint of light; a new day had begun. Watching Chen Yu's departing figure, a sweet smile appeared on Yu Sichen's face, which did not fade for a long time.

"Chen Yu, I am waiting for you to take me away." Yu Sichen murmured.

Suddenly, the door opened, and her mother Wang Ling, her father Yu Qiang, and Yu Sichen's grandfather Yu Luozhong walked in.

"Dad, Sichen is simply bewitched by that man surnamed Chen. She refuses this marriage no matter what. I have no other way." Wang Ling wiped her tears: "I carried her for ten months, raised her through all kinds of hardships, and cultivated her to be incomparably excellent, but I never thought she would repay me like this."

"Unfilial." Yu Luozhong leaned on his cane. He grabbed the cane and was about to strike Yu Sichen: "Rather than letting you anger us to death, I might as well beat you to death myself, so you don't disgrace the Yu Family."
