Chapter 3076

Yun Meng made a soft sound of acknowledgment. Although she was curious about why so many souls remained, she knew business came first.

Yan Xizhong stepped outside. Most of the souls had grown weak due to the strong yang energy. After inspecting them, he spread his five fingers and swept his hand through the air. The souls vanished instantly, sent directly into the Underworld.

Yan Xizhong took a deep breath from the air, then sighed. As expected, this matter was not simple.

There was a trace of a fierce soul in the air.

Most of these souls lingering in the mortal realm had been drawn here by that fierce soul.

Yan Xizhong followed the scent of the fierce soul. The direction pointed straight toward the Yun family’s residence.

She paused in thought, scanning the area with her divine sense, but found no trace of the fierce soul.

It seemed the Heavenly Dao was consciously helping the fierce soul resolve its past obsession, hiding it from his detection.

Yan Xizhong looked up at the sky. "Well, as long as there is a clue, finding this fierce soul is only a matter of time."

She thought for a moment, then waved her hand again, driving away the last trace of the fierce soul’s aura from the street. With that gone, the lingering souls would naturally dissipate.

Returning to the flower shop, Yun Meng was tidying up the flowers. Seeing her return, she asked, "What happened on the street?"

"It was the aura of a fierce soul that attracted these scattered souls. If I hadn’t injured the fierce soul, these souls would have merely become its food. Now, they have escaped disaster. I sent them all to the entrance of the Underworld."

Yan Xizhong came over to help Yun Meng arrange the flowers.

Yun Meng nodded slightly, then asked, "Do you have any leads on the fierce soul?"

"Yes, it is near your Yun family," Yan Xizhong said. "However, the fierce soul now has only thirty percent of its power left. Your Yun family members should be able to handle it. But…"

Yan Xizhong paused. "Normally, with my ability, a simple scan with my divine sense would locate him. But I couldn’t find him. I suspect the Heavenly Dao is helping him evade my search."

"The Heavenly Dao interfering?" Yun Meng frowned slightly. "Why would the Heavenly Dao interfere in such a good mood?"

"I don’t know. Perhaps because the fierce soul’s past obsession must be resolved, and the Heavenly Dao could not bear to see his obsession run so deep, so it decided to help him once."

"That sounds so mysterious," Yun Meng said, looking unconvinced.

Yan Xizhong sighed helplessly. "What else do you think? Do you know why you were reincarnated into the Yun family? First, it is because of the karma you owed in your past life. Second, this fierce soul has a connection with the Yun family. The appearance of this fierce soul will likely bring a tribulation to the Yun family, and you are probably the one who will help them survive it."

Yun Meng’s hands paused. "I admit I have learned a lot, but there are many capable people in the Yun family. For example, the old master is a rare expert."

Yun Meng looked at Yan Xizhong seriously.

Yan Xizhong hummed in agreement. "Currently, we do not know exactly how the fierce soul will resolve its obsession. It seems we need to investigate what that obsession truly is."

Yun Meng agreed this was necessary. "As the Young Palace Master, you don’t know the fierce soul’s obsession?"

Yan Xizhong said calmly, "There are so many souls, and each has their own obsession. I cannot remember every single one. However, these obsessions are recorded. So, we just need to check the records."

After speaking, Yan Xizhong spread his left hand. A book appeared. He flipped through it quickly. After about two minutes, he pinched his fingers, and the book vanished.

"How is it?" Yun Meng asked curiously.

Yan Xizhong looked at Yun Meng. "This is the debt of affection owed by your sister."

"What do you mean?" Yun Meng asked.

"Three thousand years ago, there was an absurd dynasty. In that era, women were dominant, and men were subordinate. Women worked outside, and men stayed inside. It was a very successful matriarchal world. Your sister was a rural farm girl back then. To develop her family’s business, she took the imperial examinations. When she was eighteen, she fell ill on her way to the exam and was saved by a man.

I won’t go into details. It was a story of a beautiful encounter. To show her gratitude, your sister married that man. After the wedding, when the examination year came, she went to take the exam, leaving the man in their hometown.

However, she never returned. The man was outstanding, and some women in the village often tried to harass her. To wait for her wife, she locked himself in her room. she only accepted food delivered by servants through the window. she vowed never to come out unless her beloved returned. Unfortunately, a massive earthquake struck that year. The man was trapped and died.

After entering the Yellow Springs, he continued to wait for his wife. His obsession was very deep. If he could not fulfill this romantic bond, he could not reincarnate.

Your sister’s past life did not return because she was trapped by a prince of that dynasty. The prince fancied her and insisted she marry her. She refused, so she imprisoned her. She was eventually humiliated and died. The news simply never reached the man."

Yan Xizhong briefly explained the situation regarding the fierce soul.

Yun Meng’s eyes were full of surprise. "According to you, does my sister have to experience another epic romance between a human and a soul?"

Yan Xizhong looked at Yun Meng. "The fierce soul’s obsession is actually simple. He wants to live in harmony with your sister and have a son. He has no other desire to harm anyone. His obsession is clearly recognized by the Heavenly Dao. So, your sister will likely become his wife, and they will have a son."

"So my sister’s peach blossom disaster does not come from a human, but from a fierce soul," Yun Meng realized.

Yan Xizhong nodded. "Since the Heavenly Dao allows it, I fear neither you nor I can stop it."

Yun Meng pondered. "Then when will this fierce soul leave?"

"He will disappear after your sister gives birth to the child," Yan Xizhong said, looking at Yun Meng.

"I know my sister’s personality. If she doesn’t like someone, she won’t accept them. But if she likes someone, it is for life. She will likely be very heartbroken then," Yun Meng sighed.

Yun Meng had no power to change what the Heavenly Dao had decided. She could only think about how to clean up the mess later.

"Wife, that is not the main point. After all, they are husband and wife. As long as they work hard and accumulate more karmic merit, they can be together in the next life. The problem is the child they will have."

Yan Xizhong looked at his wife helplessly.

Yun Meng was stunned, then suddenly understood. "Right! The child is born of a human and a soul. It is essentially a natural soul-child. He is born with the ability to become a resident of the Underworld."
