Chapter 97 Daughter or Son (ETL) Part 1
===
Chapter 97 If nothing works, just call Daddy~
It is true that ‘the waves behind push the waves ahead’, and each generation is better than the previous one. Gu Ye had never thought of such a sneaky method before and looked at this little girl in amazement. Gu Ye silently gave a thumbs up, amazing!
The little girl said seriously, “I want to continue living with my family. The only way is to let my mother give birth to me again so that I can take care of my parents and protect my younger brother.”
Gu Ye nodded, what she said made sense, but, “This matter is not easy to deal with. Reincarnation is the King of Hell’s business.”
The little girl looked up at Gu Ye and asked pitifully, “Aren’t you a Master? Can’t you see ghosts? Can you ask him if we can do this?”
The question amused Gu Ye and he said, “We have all heard of the King of Hell, but who has seen him before? How can we just ‘ask’ casually?”
The little girl puffed up her cheeks. Her big eyes were watery, and she stared at Gu Ye for help, “Big brother, please, you must have a way, right?”
Being looked at by a little girl with a pair of pure big eyes for help, anyone who is not stone-hearted will give in but Gu Ye smiled and said, “Little girl, I have no obligation to help you. There is no free lunch in this world.”
Zou Tong calmed down. Then she said with a stiff expression, “I will pay you, I will let my mother give you money.”
Gu Ye was helpless but still he explained, “That’s not your money. If I help you, you will owe me. This is a cause and effect, it has nothing to do with your mother’s money.”
Zou Tong thought about it and seriously proposed, “I don’t have anything to pay you. How about this? I will recognize you as my father and take care of you until you are old1, okay?”
Ling Ling was sitting on the desk pretending to be a doll. When she heard what Zou Tong said, a red light flashed in her eyes. The doll’s head turned stiffly, looking straight at the little ghost without any expression.
Gu Ye was still a little troubled, “This matter is not easy to handle. I don’t lack daughters. Girl, I can help with other things, but I really can’t help with this.”
Zou Tong stood in the corner, silently wiping tears. Seeing Gu Ye maintaining a cold expression, she suddenly rushed over and hugged Gu Ye’s legs, “Please help me, I don’t know who else can help me except coming to you. I really don’t want to leave. If I leave, my mother will be sad. Can you please help me ask the Lord King of Hell?”
Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “You are such an advanced-thinking kid, and you have guts. You make me want to take you as my apprentice, but we are not destined to be teacher and apprentice, what a pity.”
Still hugging Gu Ye’s legs, Zou Tong said, “Then instead of Teacher, I’ll recognize you as my father and I will give you a pension/allowance every month when I grow up, okay? I have nothing else that I can do other than that.”
At this moment, Ling Ling finally couldn’t stand it. With a swift motion, she stood up from the table and flew to Gu Ye. Then, she tore the kid, who was much older than her, off Gu Ye’s legs. She pushed the ghost aside fiercely and shouted, “Go away! This is my dad!”
Ling Ling was full of resentment and looked fierce. She looked like she wanted to bite someone. Gu Ye quickly picked her up and said, “Daughter, be gentle. Let’s talk nicely.”
Being lifted up in the air, Ling Ling stretched out her little feet in annoyance. Even if she couldn’t kick the ghost, she would still kick in the air to scare her, “If you act cute/spoiled again, I’ll beat you up!”
Gu Ye said helplessly, “She was not acting like a spoiled child.”
Ling Ling snorted in dissatisfaction, “She hugged your legs, she can’t! These are mine legs!”
Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, his daughter was not a real person, so she didn’t have to get married in the future. Otherwise, no one will want to marry her with such a temper.
The golden little chubby guy (Kuman Thong) floated over and pulled Ling Ling away. He kindly advised her with a serene tone, “Let’s not argue with Little Loli. She’s still young. Come on, calm your anger.”
Ling Ling pointed to herself and asked, ‘Is she more ‘loli’ than me?’
The chubby guy quickly apologized, “You’re the most loli, the most sensible. Your Dad loves you the most. Don’t fight with her, she can’t win you.”
Finally, Ling Ling was satisfied and pointed at Zou Tong, “You stay away from him and talk properly. If you hug his legs again, I’ll beat you up.”
After being scared by Ling Ling’s scolding, Zou Tong finally calmed down. After a moment of silence, Zou Tong took two steps back and knelt down in front of Gu Ye.
Gu Ye frowned and pulled her up, “Don’t do this, I won’t accept this big respect.”
There is such a saying in the mystic art circle that except for bowing for return respect at funerals, a willing bow from the other party can bring a layer of good fortune and longevity to the receiver. Zou Tong already without family and friends, accepting the bow will also damage the fortune of the person kneeling down, so Gu Ye doesn’t want to accept it.
Zou Tong kowtowed without saying anything and said seriously, “I can’t leave. If I leave, my mother will not be able to bear it and may have to leave (die) with me. Without her, what will happen to my younger brother? He is so young and cannot live without a mother. My father may find him a stepmother in the future.”
“With a stepmother, there will be a stepfather2. In the future, there will be stepbrothers and sisters. I can’t watch him suffer. Master Gu, I have nothing to give you, only this life. I don’t ask for a long life, I just want to serve my parents until they are old and watch my brother grow up. After that, I will return my life to you. I am willing to be a sIave, a servant, and a sacrifice. Master Gu, seeing my sincerity, please help me!”
Gu Ye looked at the little girl helplessly. He was amused at the first half of her words because the girl was too realistic. Then he had to be moved by the latter part because the child was filial. Looking at the karma line that had not disappeared on her body, Gu Ye said helplessly, “We’ll try first but I can’t guarantee that it will work.”
“Thank you, Master Gu!” Zou Tong kowtowed to Gu Ye 3 times, tears in her eyes, “Whether it succeeds or not, Zou Tong will remember this favor.”
Having said this, what else can he say? Gu Ye had no choice but to go to the study, and take out the statue of the King of Hell. He hung it on the wall of the living room, took out 3 incense sticks, and lit them. Holding the incense sticks up, he bowed 3 times to the statue, his face was rarely serious as he said, “Today, Gu Ye offers 3 incense sticks to worship the gods, and requested sincerely. If I do this, will you be angry with me? If you are not angry, I will agree to help her. When the embryo is still a cell, I will put the soul of this child in and let her mother give birth to her again. If you don’t say anything, I will proceed.”
As soon as Gu Ye finished speaking, the 3 incense sticks in his hand broke without warning and fell to the ground. The lit end fell on Gu Ye’s shoe surface, almost scalding Gu Ye’s feet.
Gu Ye looked at the statue of the King of Hell with dissatisfaction, “Are you going to compensate me with a new pair of slippers?”
Seeing this, Hong Dou couldn’t help but float out of the Buddhist beads, “Don’t make a fuss. This matter cannot be agreed, you will be punished.”
Gu Ye shrugged his shoulders and said to Zou Tong, “See, he is not happy with your request.”
Zou Tong shed tears silently and kowtowed to the statues continuously. Each kowtow thumped heavily to the ground, with a firm look in her eyes, as if she would kowtow to death if the King of Hell did not agree.
Gu Ye’s heart felt soft so he turned his head and looked at the statue of the King of Hell unhappily, “Since you didn’t agree the first time, I’ll ask you again.” He turned around and brought a plate of melon seeds, “If you don’t agree, eat this plate of melon seeds. If you can’t eat it, it means you agree to let me help her.”
2 seconds later, Gu Ye smiled and said, “Look, you didn’t eat it, which means you agree.”
Hong Dou hurriedly snatched the melon seed plate from Gu Ye’s hand. With a rare anxious expression, she protested, “No, you are asking for death!”
Gu Ye smiled, “Haven’t I asked for death enough? It doesn’t matter, I can bear it.”
Qingyi and Ye Li both looked at Gu Ye with cold faces, and Ye Li said disdainfully, “If he doesn’t seek death, it’s not him.”
Gu Ye smiled, “It’s still my eldest son who understands me.”
“Hmph!” Ye Li turned his head away in annoyance and returned to the ceramic doll on Gu Ye’s table. The non-humans who had been with Gu Ye’s previous life were accustomed to Gu Ye’s acts of seeking death. Compared with before, Gu Ye is now a good kid.
Gu Ye collected Zou Tong’s soul and immediately sent a voice message to Yu Ze: “Dear, come pick me up, it’s a rescue mission!”
After that, Gu Ye quickly packed stuff into a backpack. He took 2 sets of clothes and stuffed his son and daughter into the bag. After a while, after receiving a message from Yu Ze that he was about to arrive, Gu Ye rushed downstairs with his group of non-humans.
After dinner, Gu Decheng and his wife were strolling outside and bumped into Gu Ye at the door. When Gu Decheng saw that Gu Ye was going out again at night, his face immediately turned cold, “You are still going out so late?”
Smiling, Gu Ye slipped out from the gap at the side and said, “I won’t be back these 2 nights, I want to avoid trouble.”
Mrs. Gu also turned cold, “What trouble did you rascal get into again?”
Gu Ye had already run out and saw Yu Ze’s car coming from a distance. Gu Ye smiled and waved, “I provoked a big boss, I’m afraid he will come to me in my dreams and beat me up. I will hide for 2 days and come back!”
Gu Ye’s words confused the couple. Seeing that Gu Ye ran away, they couldn’t call him back. The couple went upstairs with cold faces. Gu Decheng was shocked when he saw the things in Gu Ye’s room, “You look at this, what kind of messy things does he do every day? How did he worship the King of Hell? You don’t care enough about him at home.”
Mrs. Gu replied with an aggrieved tone, “He is not 3 or 5 years old, how can I keep watch of him every day?”
The couple sighed, and Gu Decheng said coldly, “Call the servants over, quickly clean up his room.”
Mrs. Gu looked down and said, “Why are the incense sticks broken into halves? It’s too unlucky, let me light it for the god.”
Mrs. Gu actually didn’t understand these things and didn’t think much about it. She picked the incense up from the ground, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner. As the incense burned, the smoke drifted towards the statue. The statue didn’t want it but was forced to accept it.
…
After getting in the car, Yu Ze looked at the evil smile on Gu Ye’s face, “Did you get into trouble?”
Gu Ye chuckled twice, “I stole a life from the hands of the King of Hell.”
The smile on Yu Ze’s face disappeared immediately, and he said worriedly, “Don’t let yourself be in a dangerous situation.”
Gu Ye waved his hand carelessly, “It doesn’t matter. As long as I have your purple aura to protect me, plus my merits, even if the King of Hell wants to take my life, God won’t agree. God is the big brother, while he is the second so he has to listen to his big brother.”
Yu Ze was speechless. What kind of theory is this?
However, Gu Ye suddenly became serious and a little scared, “But I’m worried that I might dream of my master beating me tonight. No, turn the car around. I’m going to buy some beautiful paper girls for my master, and then he may not have time to beat me.”
Yu Ze’s mouth twitched, “If I were your master, I would be so angry that I’d return to life.”
“No, he can’t return to life anymore,” Gu Ye clapped his hands. With a smack, he spread his palms and continued with a smile, “He was burned to ashes (cremation). I collected and buried it myself, so his body can’t be found anymore.”
Yu Ze thought of the things that happened in Gu Ye’s previous life and held Gu Ye’s hand distressedly. Gu Ye was amused instead and said, “It’s nothing. I’ve let it go, don’t think too much.”
Yu Ze slightly raised his mouth, “If this purple aura of mine can protect you, you can take it all.”
The offer made Gu Ye laughed. The purple aura is the destiny given by God, who dares to take it away? If Yu Ze’s purple aura could be stolen, who knows how many people would be tempted.
Gu Ye didn’t say it but leaned on Yu Ze’s shoulder with a smile. After he found a comfortable posture, he said, “Okay, I’ll take it whenever I need it. If you dare to see someone else one day, I will take away all your good luck and make you lonely for life.”
Yu Ze responded with a soft look in his eyes, “Okay.”
On the other hand, the roof of Yu Ze’s car was extremely spectacular. Not only was there a Ghost General but also Qing Yi and Ye Li. The three of them added together were giving too much murderous aura. When they passed by, the ghostly aura was like a gust of wind. In addition to Yu Ze’s purple aura, the lonely ghosts retreated when they saw them. The formation was particularly scary for ghosts.
At this moment, 2 mystic art masters happened to pass by the roadside. One of them was a newcomer who had just entered the circle and had just opened his Heavenly eyes. He came out at night to gain experience and see the happenings around him. So, when the car passes by, he is shocked by the scene, “Senior Brother, what is this commotion?”
The older one saw Qingyi and Yeli, and his pupils shrank, “Gu Ye inherited his brother’s ghost and spirit?”
Hearing that, the young man was puzzled, “Who?”
The newcomer’s senior brother told him seriously, “It’s Gu Decheng’s third son, who dared to take on the entire association by himself. Like his senior brother, he is a ruthless person as well. Now, it seems that he has inherited the ghosts and spirits raised by his senior brother, and those are all merciless characters. As your senior brother, I’m giving you a piece of advice. If you want to stay in this circle, don’t mess with Gu Ye.”
The newcomer was surprised, “So awesome? Where did he get so much purple aura? How come those ghosts are not afraid of purple aura? It’s so strange.”
“There are many kinds of purple aura. One is the emperor’s aura, which can embrace/tolerate the world. As long as you have no ill will towards him, you will not be harmed. But ordinary ghosts will instinctively feel uncomfortable and restrained. Those three were unaffected by the purple aura, which shows their ability. This purple aura, this car, may belong to his boyfriend.”
“A man? Too disgusting!” The newcomer snickered. Looking at the car going away, he continued with a sour tone, “Gu Decheng’s son is that desperate? Why does he have to find a hard man when there are soft females around? I’ve seen his photos online, he’s really good-looking. So he likes to be pushed d… ARGHH!”
A scream startled the people passing by, and then someone shouted, “Hurry to help! Someone fell into the manhole!”
The senior brother looked at the dark hole in front of him with a confused face. Finally, he came to a realization and cursed angrily, “Idiot!”
The onlookers sighed, “How unlucky this person is? So many people walked down this road and nothing happened. But he came over to this path and the manhole cover was tilted. Then he fell in, such news.”
After the firefighters rescued the unlucky man, he was full of stinky shit and even felt in his mouth. If the rescue was delayed 2 minutes later, he wouldn’t be able to be rescued. The senior brother was so angry that his face turned red, “I already told you that it was the emperor’s purple aura, and you still have malicious thoughts of Gu Ye in front of him? Are you seeking death?!”
