Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Scarlett Jennings the Middleman
After confirming Sebastian Carew’s identity, the Yin Mountain Ghost King was actually somewhat hesitant.
His beloved wife had reincarnated into a man, and initially, he couldn’t accept it.
Later, a little ghost under his command persuaded him, saying,
“Recently, an old male ghost from Old An Mountain had an arranged ghost marriage, but on the eve of the wedding, the bride turned out to be the groom.
The male ghost didn’t mind, thinking as long as someone could accompany him, it was fine. Guess what? The couple is quite harmonious now~
It seems there’s no harm in these things; even the Underworld has acknowledged this ghost marriage. You’re the Lord Ghost King, why bother about the matter of male and female? If worst comes to worst, a simple Eye-blocking Technique can turn a man into a woman…”
The Ghost King decided to fulfill the thousand-year-old promise with his wife and marry him after hearing such nonsense.
But it turned out, the wife not only changed gender, but also heart…
He had a fiancée!
The Ghost King felt betrayed!
He was very angry.
But only angry.
He wasn’t so obsessed with snatching the person back.
Perhaps because Scarlett Jennings was present, the Ghost King didn’t act rashly, just glared angrily at the two, for a long time, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, laughed sinisterly,
“If you want to be with this little Impermanence, you can. I have waited a thousand years, I don’t mind waiting a few more years…”
He said,
“When you die, I will let you reincarnate, and when you reincarnate as a woman in your next life, I will come to greet you as my Yin Mountain King’s wife…”
Sebastian:…
No, do you have some illness?
He’s not even dead yet, and his next life is already booked??
Violet Allen also thought this Ghost King had some serious illness.
But at this moment, refusing to let go showed that he was genuinely deeply in love with his wife.
If it wasn’t about living people, the Yin Mountain Ghost King’s thousand-year search for his beloved wife could actually be considered a beautiful story…
Thinking about this, Violet was startled to hear Scarlett Jennings speak beside her.
“Are you sure your wife will want to be with you even after reincarnation?”
The Ghost King, hearing her doubt, couldn’t help but frown and retort,
“Of course! My wife and I loved each other all our lives! We promised each other in our next lives! Only because she left earlier that I couldn’t find her on the Reincarnation Path…”
Scarlett Jennings remained unmoved by the Ghost King’s anger, speaking directly,
“If it’s truly as you claim, that you promised each other, why hasn’t she waited for you?
A missed reincarnation might be an accident, but ten lives in a row, do you think these are all coincidences?”
At her words, the Ghost King’s brow twitched, his face turning somewhat ugly,
“What are you trying to say?”
Scarlett Jennings replied, “You’re a mighty Ghost King; would it truly be that difficult to find a wandering soul without entering reincarnation?
You’ve sought for a thousand years and haven’t found her traces; one possibility is that she has always been avoiding you.”
“Impossible!”
Upon hearing Scarlett’s words, the Ghost King’s Ghost Energy surged, the fierce energy causing Violet and Sebastian to feel apparent pressure and discomfort.
Instinctively, they drifted away, directly running behind Scarlett.
Facing the Ghost King’s fierce Ghost Energy, Scarlet didn’t flinch, holding the Peach Wood Sword horizontally in front of her chest, automatically drawing a Golden Light Barrier to block the rampant Ghost Energy.
Even having the mood to continue analyzing the Ghost King’s reaction,
“Seeing your angry and embarrassed demeanor, it appears you’ve pondered this possibility yourself.”
If things were as the Ghost King said, and Sebastian’s soul was indeed his wife’s from a thousand years ago, the soul of a woman reincarnating as a male was itself worth exploring.
Although choosing male or female bodies in reincarnation is normal, in some cases, it can be manipulated.
Especially someone like Sebastian, born as the son of the Carew Family in Capital Metropolitan, who could easily live a prosperous life.
Yet he ventured into the entertainment industry and made a name for himself, occupying a place in the circle with such a smooth life, it’s no surprise to call it a naturally noble destiny.
With such destiny, Sebastian’s former life must have accumulated considerable Merit to ensure this life’s ease and freedom.
It’s even possible that the Merit accumulated over the previous ten lives resulted in the blessings of this life.
Under normal circumstances, for such virtuous persons, the Underworld would follow their wishes in reincarnation.
Since the person became Sebastian Carew in this life, it’s highly likely she chose to reincarnate as a male.
In this situation, it’s hard to believe she’s been waiting for the Ghost King as he has waited for her for millennia.
Because even if reincarnation and past-life memories are forgotten, obsessions cannot fade.
Once she made her choice, it indicates she never had an obsession.
“Just saying this, you probably won’t accept. Perhaps you can check your wife’s records from previous lives.”
Scarlett wasn’t genuinely curious about the Ghost King’s thousand-year romance, she simply wanted to confirm her suspicion, and simultaneously shatter the Ghost King’s fantasy.
After all, the Yin Mountain Ghost King, in some respects, maintains balance in the Underworld; she couldn’t truly eliminate him.
But liberating him, he might not free Sebastian.
He might even wait for Sebastian’s demise and manipulate his soul in the next life.
Scarlett couldn’t keep constant watch over Sebastian.
The best solution is to make the Ghost King relinquish such thoughts.
Indeed, hearing the possibility of checking wife’s records from previous lives, the Ghost King hesitated,
“Can I see them?”
Scarlett didn’t answer, just turned to look at Violet.
Whether it can be viewed depends on asking the Underworld’s unofficial personnel.
This moment, Violet also realized, and hurriedly said,
“Records from a hundred years ago in the Underworld are somewhat chaotic, but in recent years, due to programmed management, everyone’s life has major event records, which can be checked in the Spiritual Affairs backend, but…”
She gulped for a breath, then said,
“But I don’t have access permissions.”
Ghost King:…
That’s basically worthless.
Scarlett knew Violet’s permissions didn’t reach that area, pondered briefly, she took out her phone, called Ivan, and directly explained the situation to him.
“Can you get the permissions?”
Scarlett wasn’t certain, Ivan bragged money gets anything done, but this involved the Underworld’s archives…
Unexpectedly, Ivan remained silent for a while, then said softly,
“I can’t get the permissions, but fetching personal data should be possible.”
He paused and crafted a quote,
“Ten thousand Spiritual Points.”
Scarlett glanced at the Yin Mountain Ghost King, then without hesitation accepted, “Alright.”
The voice on the other end chuckled, saying only, “Ten minutes.”
Then hung up.
Scarlett stored away her phone, turned to the Yin Mountain Ghost King and quoted,
“Ten thousand Spiritual Points, plus a Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order.”
