Chapter 1

I glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to me, then I swiftly ran across the Naihe Bridge, heading straight for the Six Paths of Reincarnation

After the Matchmaker sent me to the underworld, he patted my shoulder and sighed for a while: "Xiao Xiang ... ... " I glared at him fiercely, and the Matchmaker, being perceptive, swallowed the character 'zi' that was about to follow. He sighed again and said: "With you gone, the Matchmaker's Hall will be unattended for a long time, what am I to do, old man?"

The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, Little Xiangzi, do you have anything else to say?"

Chux空 took a while to suppress the pain, and when he lifted his head, his eyes were filled with terrifying rage. The girl in the pink dress, Ying Shi, was chattering beside him, looking at his face and exclaiming in heartache, as if he had been struck.

Although King Li's physique has changed, his upright and unyielding temperament remains unchanged. I nodded with a mix of sadness and gratitude, feeling that there is still love in this world

In the time of the oriole, do not worry, I will return soon. As a man, King Li will certainly not let me suffer losses

At that moment, the little ghost beside me suddenly came to his senses: "You... you smashed the Meng Po soup! Are you trying to rebel!"

As the two of us knelt before the Jade Emperor with bruised faces, upon hearing that we had completely disrupted the red threads in the Hall of the God of Love, the old Jade Emperor pondered for a long time. After delivering a lengthy discourse on "harmony is precious" and "one must be punished for wrongdoing," he calmly uttered: "You two have ruined the future of all lovers in the world, so you shall be punished to experience seven lifetimes of love, which will also serve to alleviate the grievances you hold against each other."

"Wait a moment..." The young man kneeling beside him interrupted the Jade Emperor's words at the risk of his life, "Are you saying that I should be with... her? This fierce... this manly woman who has experienced seven lifetimes of love?" His tone changed somewhat, suggesting he was quite frightened.

The young man remained silent beside me for a long time, until my curiosity led me to focus my gaze on his face. Only then did he, with a pale expression, say: "This time, disrupting the red thread of the Matchmaker's Hall is indeed our fault. However, I can swear by the Lord of the Day Star that the number of red threads disrupted by this woman is certainly greater than those I have disrupted. Therefore, can we make this woman suffer a little more in every lifetime?"

"Xiao Xiangzi, since you are a subordinate of the God of Marriage, this seven-lifetime romance should not be handled by the God of Marriage himself." The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, "Where is King Li of the Pagoda?"

I suddenly felt a surge of anger, wanting to strip him of his dignity once again. Just then, I felt a weight on my shoulder; it was King Li who had walked up beside me. He pressed me down and calmly said, "I will fairly assess each person's merits and faults"

His sharp voice pierced through the snot bubble of Meng Po, who was dozing off. Meng Po's massive body wriggled, and it seemed she was about to wake up. The dark aura, which had been steeped in the underworld for years, stirred, and I, a mere wisp of a cloud, immediately felt my legs weaken and my courage falter. I pointed directly at Chukong and exclaimed: "It’s him! He’s planning a rebellion. That little rascal doesn’t want to drink Meng Po's soup, so he threatened me earlier, making me the subject of his experiment to see what punishment would come from not drinking the soup! I was forced into this!"

I let out a cold laugh through my nose, and Chu Kong glared at me with gritted teeth. I saw him gathering energy with his magical power in his hand, as if he intended to slap me to death. A sudden fear gripped my heart; after all, if it came to a battle of magic, I was indeed inferior to Chu Kong.

The old matchmaker, with a look of despondency, stroked his white beard. I felt a twinge of sympathy in my heart. Although this old man could be a bit stingy, muddled, and unreliable at times, he had generally treated me well. Unlike other celestial lords who were harsh and scolded their celestial attendants, he was kind to me. Softening my heart, I comforted him, "A day in heaven is a year on earth; the most a seven-lifetime romance can delay is just a little over a year. I will return soon."

The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction once more, his gaze shifting to the young man beside me: "Chukong, do you have anything to say?"

Chukong is undoubtedly destined to drink the Meng Po soup. In this first life, I was born before him, I possess memories of my past life, and I am stronger than he is. ... In other words ...

A vein bulged on my forehead, I squinted my eyes and turned to look at that man who resembled a model yet looked like a dog.

So before I jumped into the cycle of reincarnation, I gave him a thumbs up, and then I plunged down fiercely

Ying Shi was so frightened that her mouth fell open and her eyes widened, her face devoid of color, while Chu Kong also wore a look of astonishment. The other ghosts were equally terrified, their souls scattering as they fled in all directions

I would like to say that the red thread in the Hall of Yue Lao is also randomly tied by that old man Yue Lao after getting drunk. If it gets tangled, let him tie it randomly again. It is truly unnecessary to use such cruel tactics to deal with me

As I watched his figure completely disappear into the eerie darkness of the underworld, I turned my head to examine the towering archway, the four characters "Yinming Difu" appearing particularly ominous. I took down the wine flask from my waist, tilted my head back to take a sip of the strong liquor, and stepped beneath the archway.

It is ! ''

I still remember that before the shocking brawl, I had said to that nightmare of a man, "I am the dark cloud that will forever shroud your life in darkness." In retrospect, that statement was indeed overly one-sided.

At this moment, a girl in a pink dress stood beside him. Chukong had completely changed from the fierce demeanor she displayed during our fight, her gentle gaze resting softly on the girl in pink. In the dead silence of the underworld, apart from the faint sound of the waters of the River of Forgetfulness flowing by, there was no other noise. His voice clearly reached the ears of every ghost:

Chuxing... It turns out that this young man is actually the eldest among the twelve youths of the Lord of the Day Star. The first month of each year in the mortal realm is managed by him. Only now do I realize the identity of the young man who will share seven lifetimes of love with me. I look up at the ornate ceiling of the Lingxiao Palace; what an ironic world this is.

I paused for a moment, feeling that I had done something a bit wrong

The enormous figure of Meng Po stood up, towering at a height of two zhang! The shadow momentarily enveloped the entire Naihe Bridge

Hmm? A deep female voice, tinged with the hoarseness of awakening, echoed in the dimness of the underworld, pressing down heavily, making it hard to breathe. "Who does not drink the soup I have brewed?"

A burly man with a robust build held a golden pagoda in his hands, took three steps to the front of the hall, clasped his hands, and spoke in a deep and resonant voice: "Here!"

Before entering the cycle of reincarnation, I turned back to take a look. All I could see was a cloud of dust swirling in front of the Naihe Bridge, with some running and others shouting. Meng Po was tightly holding onto Chukong, incessantly lecturing him, her saliva splattering all over his face, while Chukong was fixated on me, his resentful gaze seemingly wishing to carve me into a thousand pieces.

The multitude of ghosts suddenly stood upright in terror

His spirited response made my heart race, and I took a deep breath, looking up at Li Tianwang. The affluent and comfortable life in the heavenly realm had endowed him with a robust physique. As if aware that I was watching him, he turned his head, and the mouth hidden beneath his bushy beard seemed to stretch into a wide grin, causing the flesh of his entire face to bunch up. ... The uncle smiled so beautifully ...

I only felt a sudden tightening in my chest, hurriedly clutching my heart, taking a deep breath, and at this moment, the usually healthy me felt as if I was about to die...

It seemed as if she had seen the bowl that had fallen before the initial void. Meng Po, in a fit of rage, shouted: "Who dares not to drink the soup! I toil day in and day out to brew this soup, and you little scoundrels dare to waste my hard work!" As she spoke, her enormous figure stomped heavily over the bodies of the countless souls, charging straight towards the initial void with astonishing speed, completely incongruous with her size.

I stood slowly in the celestial realm, becoming a lonely silhouette amidst the whispering winds.

The Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and said softly, "Well, I will leave this matter to you to handle"

I was also quite frightened, staring in horror at the Jade Emperor with my dead fish eyes. Upon seeing the Jade Emperor nod in confirmation, I felt my whole body go weak, realizing that all hope had drifted far away from me. I then understood that for a period of time, not only had I become the dark cloud in the young man's life, but he had also become my dark cloud. The two of us collided, generating friction and creating a massive thunderstorm cloud.

I think there is nothing to be afraid of, just consider it an opportunity to see the world

That being said, Brother Chukong, you still need to pay attention to your safety. I have heard that that little Xiangzi in the Moon Elder's Hall has quite an eccentric temperament, so you... you should be cautious and vigilant when you are with her

I have nothing to say

The matter has been settled, and everyone returned to their respective homes. As I exited the gates of Lingxiao Palace, I heard the hearty laughter of King Li from a distance: "I love watching the scene of the little wife desperately pursuing her husband, ahahaha!"

The Matchmaker shook his head and sighed, returning with a hunched back and a desolate demeanor

I turned my head to look at the Minister of the Right, Yue Lao, who was standing with his head down in the Lingxiao Hall. He was also looking at me with a pitiful expression, as if pleading with me not to expose him. I turned my head back, took deep breaths repeatedly, and after a while, I asked: "Can I curse?"

I looked up at the sky and carefully recalled what strange things I had done to make this little white flower describe me in such a way

I curled my lips and said, "If you drink less alcohol, consider it a good deed for me."

As I took a closer look, the flashy demeanor in a red outfit unmistakably belonged to that fellow

You little rascal, just wait for your demise

His complexion became even more unpleasant as he was held by Meng Po. I patted my backside and happily entered the cycle of reincarnation

The little rascal coughed twice, reminding me to take the bowl of soup. I smiled awkwardly, just about to obediently tilt my head back to drink the Meng Po soup, when I suddenly heard that little brat Chukong boastfully declare: "Don't worry, although that shrew has a strange temper, her intelligence and strength are both beneath mine; with her, she can't do anything to me."

No.

I casually chose a team and lined up properly, slowly moving forward. By the time the Meng Po soup was about to be handed to me, I still hadn't seen that rascal Chukong. I was pondering whether he had already been reincarnated when suddenly a flash of golden light appeared in the dark underworld, dazzling enough to make the ghosts dizzy.

"Count your uncle..." With a loud shout, I hurled the cool Meng Po soup in my hand at that guy, right in front of the astonished gaze of the little ghost. The soup splashed all over the air, and the bowl hit the side of his face squarely. He let out a muffled grunt and covered his face. Ying Shi screamed in fright, and I pointed at his pair of eyes, which had been bruised and swollen from our previous 'confrontation', mocking him: "You have the audacity to spout nonsense with a pair of panda eyes, don't you feel embarrassed?" The soup splashed all over the air, and the bowl hit the side of his face squarely. He let out a muffled grunt and covered his face. Ying Shi screamed in fright, and I pointed at his pair of eyes, which had been bruised and swollen from our previous 'confrontation', mocking him: "You have the audacity to spout nonsense with a pair of panda eyes, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Chukong continued, "Wait for me to make that little Xiangzi serve like a eunuch for seven generations..." The term 'eunuch' made my nerves twitch slightly, and the Meng Po soup in my hand trembled slightly. Chukong went on to say, "I will accompany you to the Morning Star Palace to count the stars."

The number of ghosts increased day by day, yet six orderly lines were formed in front of the Naihe Bridge. Six little ghosts distributed soup to the waiting souls, while the enormous Meng Po sat to the side, dozing off leisurely
