Chapter 7 Return to the Mortal World

I feel sour in my heart, don't I? I didn't expect that the girl who listened to you everywhere would also change and reject you, right?

"Yi, I need that heart." He said.

"But I also need it." I looked at him with determination in my eyes.

"I don't want to hurt you anymore."

I can't say anything. He's still so greedy. I've never had a place in his heart. After a long time, I finally squeezed out a sentence from my throat, "Ah Jiu, can you let me return to the Mortal Dimension for a while? I'll give you my heart at that time."

Ming Jiu just looked at me. I don't know what he was thinking.

I heard him say, "How long will it take me to get my heart?"

"How about three months?"

He nodded.

I tried my best to control my facial expression and drew a talisman in the air. A door appeared in an instant. The door was dark, and I dragged my red dress into it without hesitation.

That door leads straight to my room in the human realm.

As soon as I entered the room, I could no longer collapse. It was as if I had pounced on the bed in adolescence and cried until I was hoarse enough to stop.

In the past, I was nearly two thousand years old. However, in the past two thousand years, I didn't learn anything. I only loved him. And these past few years, I have at least learned a way to vent my anger.

I stood up and wiped my eyes with that bright red wedding dress. In Liu Meng's words, it was all made by myself. It was him who fell in love with Ming Jiu, and it was also him who paid for him.

I put away the wedding dress in my usual clothes, but the jade bracelet on my wrist could not be removed.

Forget it, I only have three months.

Right now, my body has returned with the influx of memories. However, this human body is simply unable to withstand it, so my body has become very weak. If I don't rely on the support of the Corpse King's heart, I'm afraid it will instantly dissipate. This is also the reason why I didn't give my heart to Ming Jiu.

I'm going to go home. If I still can't survive three months later, I have to give them a reason. After all, they are my parents. They have given me a lot of warmth in the past 24 years.

After a long journey, I finally arrived in front of a small village. This is my parents' home. I dragged my suitcase and there were many specialties from that city inside.

I saw a skinny woman trotting over on the muddy path and shouting, "Mom!"

"Ah! Yiyi!"

She ran even faster, and I was afraid she would fall accidentally.

"Mom, slow down." I ran towards her as well.

My mother pulled my hand and a wrinkled smile appeared on her aged face. "Yiyi, why are you back now? Isn't it always New Year?"

"It's not vacation anymore. Come back and take a look." My heart suddenly felt very sad. My parents were looking forward to my return every day in this small village. Back then, they were also in this village. They used all they could to send me to the big city to study. I was extremely grateful for everything they did.

My mother took me a long way home and asked me a lot of trivial things about my life. I tried my best to answer them in a good way. I really don't want them to worry about me anymore, but I'm afraid they'll break their promise again this time.

When they arrived at home, it was still the dilapidated two-story building. Some of the neighbors were old people who came out. The younger ones went out to work. Every time someone came back, the villagers, regardless of whether they were their children or not, would always warmly entertain them.

I distributed a box of things to my neighbors and left some for my parents.

"Yiyi, how much is the bracelet on your hand?" My mother asked nervously.

"This is a stall bought on the street. Five hundred yuan." I replied.

My mother frowned and reached out to touch the jade bracelet. "Five hundred yuan is quite expensive. Keep it well. Don't lose it." After a pause, she said, "Yiyi, we don't have any money, but we mustn't do anything against our conscience, okay? Mom and Dad don't give you anything, but tell us what you want. Just sell the house and Mom will get it for you."

When I heard my mother say that she was sincere, the sadness in my heart that had just faded away started to rise again. If five hundred yuan was also expensive, I couldn't imagine what kind of life my parents would live. But even so, they still tried their best to give me the best. They still had to teach me how to be a human being.

"Mom, I know everything."

My mother stopped, probably afraid that I would find her annoying, so she didn't say much for a while.

My dad was out watching someone else play cards, and he couldn't be seen.

Back in my room, there are many things that I like, and they are still well preserved.

In the past, I was too stupid. This time, I want to live for myself. Even if it was only three months, he still wanted to leave Ming Jiu completely.

Of course, I don't want to let myself dissipate just like that. Therefore, I will look for that heart. That heart originally belonged to me. I don't know what Ming Jiu did to my heart at that time, but I can confirm that that heart is still there.

I closed my eyes and looked for a trace of that heart.

Where is it? Where …?

I opened my eyes and a black mist appeared in front of me. "Hell King."

"Ghost Princess, I know what you're looking for and where it is." His voice was still unpleasant to hear.

"Don't call me the Ghost Princess." I didn't ask anything else, I knew he would tell me, with or without conditions.

"Heh, I'm afraid the Ghost King will be sad like this. Forget it, I just came to tell you that your heart was placed in Xingyun Mountain not far from here by the Ghost King."

I smiled and asked sharply, "Why did you tell me?"

"I'm just looking at you pitifully." After he finished speaking, he disappeared, as if he had never been in the future.

I was stunned for a moment. It turned out that it was my turn to be pitiful. My mother's voice came from downstairs, "Yiyi! Come down and eat!"

I shouted back, "Coming!"

My father was also there. During the meal, I asked Xingyun Mountain inadvertently. My father's expression suddenly became nervous, "Why are you asking? That Xingyun Mountain is not a good place. Don't go."

"If I don't go, I'll just ask, Dad, what exactly does Xingyun Mountain look like?"

My dad took a sip of wine and was about to say something. My mom patted him hard and scolded, "What are you saying and doing to the child? It's not good for her."

When I saw this, I hurriedly said, "Mom, let me ask, it's fine."

My mother looked at my curious expression and didn't say anything else. She patted my father and said, "Speak."

My dad took another sip, He heaved a sigh of relief. In the tone of an elder, he said, "If you want to talk about this Hangyun Mountain, It was originally a good place, But hundreds of years ago, I heard your grandfather tell me, Somehow, the people in the mountain, Dead overnight, The next day, they all came back to life, But in that way, It was truly frightening, It was said that regardless of whether it was adults or children, they would only continue walking down the mountain. It was as if they could not hear what they were talking about. It was good that they were just walking down the mountain. However, after another day, those people on Mount Xingyun started to go crazy. They ran to the village below the mountain to bite, eat and beat people. They could not die. Even if half of their heads were gone, they could still stand up and continue to kill. "That's terrifying." My dad took a sip of wine. I was interested in what he said and looked at him without blinking.
