Is death a moment that passes in an instant, or is it a minute that endures for an eternity?
Cheng Shuyi thought that the darkness around her was infinite, but she did not feel bad. In fact, she felt pretty good and very alive. It was like her body was floating in a warm spa, surrounded by the fragrance of lotus flowers.
Suddenly, a bright spot appeared amid the dense darkness and began growing at a surprising speed, taking on the form of a small white ball.
Cheng Shuyi, who had become somewhat numb from the warm darkness, looked suspiciously at the white ball. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this small white ball possessed two rabbit ears and a beautiful pair of blue eyes that were watching her intently.
"Cheng Shuyi, I am God." A child's voice reverberated out from the white ball. If her body was here and still intact, her lips would have been trembling as she tried to contain a mocking smile.
"Ohh, is that so?" Cheng Shuyi was surprised to hear her voice echoing in the darkness. After all, she no longer had a body, yet her voice still had a sarcastic tone.
"You do not believe me?" The childlike voice sounded like it was going to throw a tantrum. However, it was only natural that Cheng Shuyi did not believe that God would be a white ball with beautiful blue eyes and rabbit ears. Maybe if it had resembled Buddha or the Jesus it would have seemed more believable!
At this moment, Cheng Shuyi chose to remain silent. In truth, she just wanted to ignore the rabbit and continue floating in the darkness.
"Alright, I'm not God, but I am a messenger." The rabbit's voice became serious and lost its childish tone, yet it still maintained the shape of a fat white ball. There was nothing divine about it!
"Okay, and?" Cheng Shuyi asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice. After all, she could end up floating in this darkness for all eternity, so it was not a problem to spare a moment and here what he had to say, even if it was just the words of some white rabbit. At least he was nice to look at.
"You know that you died?" The white rabbit asked solemnly. In his vision, there was only a single sphere, but it had a shine to it that was reminiscent of pure white jade. A ball the size of a mountain! He had never seen such a strong soul!
"Oh really? And here I thought I was at the beach! Basking in a sea of infinite darkness!" Her sarcastic and caustic voice made the little rabbit tremble because he had even worse news to give her. The little rabbit inhaled deeply and then said it all in one breathe.
"You're telling me that I died by mistake, that someone named Shun Niang was supposed to die, but because I took their seat on the plane I died in their place, along with all the other passengers?" Cheng Shuyi's voice was flat, with no trace of anger or indignation. After all, she was already dead! Getting emotional would not change that fact!
"Yes. Everyone on that plane was supposed to die, but you were not supposed to be there." The rabbit sighed with pity. Things like this happened sometimes. When someone was unhappy with their current life, they would end up taking someone else's place and dying. It was called the attraction of thought. However, the divine rabbit was not here to talk about that. Attraction or not, no one had realized the mistake and it had ended with this poor woman being stuck in limbo for decades! Buddha's assistant was furious because he had become a joke in the spirit world! He left a soul in limbo for dozens of years! The poor soul was abandoned here until the time for its next reincarnation!
"So?" Sheng Shuyi asked. She was not angry, but she was getting sleepy again. The rabbit looked at that great soul and noticed that its light was slowly diminishing. That was a sign that her soul had become weary and was close to being absorbed by the Oblivion River!
"I will give you two choices. First, you can reincarnate in the body of someone who has already given up on their mission and wants to enter reincarnation early, or you can be taken in by a team for intensive treatment so that we can restore the brightness of your soul," the rabbit said solemnly. None of this caused Cheng Shuyi to be surprised or alarmed.
"What are the advantages and disadvantages?" Cheng Shuyi asked calmly. The sleepy feeling was getting stronger and she finally realized that this time the "sleepy" feeling was strange. She sensed a warning from the very depths of her soul, a warning about the danger of falling asleep again inside this warm darkness.
"For the first one, you can keep the memories of your past life and the memories of the body in which you are going to reincarnate, as well as your talent from your past life and the talent of your new body. The downside is that you must fulfill the last desire of the soul that previously inhabited the body. For the second option, you will spend a few centuries sleeping in an incubator while recovering the brilliance of your soul, your memories will be erased, and in your next reincarnation, you will be born with a cognitive deficiency so that you can slowly regain the strength of your soul over several successive reincarnations, " the rabbit said succinctly. However, he could not look directly into Cheng Shuyi's eyes because he was ashamed of the words he had just said. But he had no choice, it was a direct order from Buddha's assistant!
"Am I not going to be given something like an A.I. or an old grandfather to guide me through the ancient world?" Cheng Shuyi asked jokingly, but her voice sounded tired.
"How did you know you were going to reincarnate into an ancient world?" The rabbit asked in surprise as his blue eyes widened and became brighter.
"Where else does rebirth and reincarnation happen at the same time?" Cheng Shuyi asked faintly.
"Ohhh, I see. But, there are no golden tickets! Experts do manage to seal their will in objects sometimes. However, us divine beings do not allow their soul to remain in the object. Naturally, we take every soul and send them off to complete their next reincarnation! " The rabbit said arrogantly.
"Fine. I will take the first option. But I feel wronged. Every male lead who reincarnates will receive a golden ticket. Even women who act like men will have some guy, a male lead, who is willing to overthrow cities for them ... But I don't get anything at all? "Cheng Shuyi tried pleading because she knew it was going to be difficult to live in an ancient world where women were nothing more than decorations and bargaining chips to be traded between powerful alliances!
"Yes, you'll gain something!" The rabbit spoke as if he had just remembered something. For a moment, Cheng Shuyi thought that maybe this little rabbit god was not so bad!
"You've earned my deepest and most sincere wishes for good luck!" As soon as he finished saying this, a strong light illuminated the area. When the area once again returned to normal, Cheng Shuyi was no longer in limbo.
"Little mortal, you dare to quibble with a God?!" The white ball took on the form of a tall, handsome, blue-eyed man, with white hair that extended all the way down to his waist.
If she was still here, Cheng Shuyi would have been amazed and astounded by the appearance of this luminous being, and she would probably have said,
"Ahhh, why didn't you show up with this appearance from the beginning? If you had shown up with such a splendid appearance, I would have 100% believed that you were at least an angel!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Cheng Shuyi was feeling very cheated as she floated in the air of a luxurious courtyard. In front of her, two maids were pacing nervously, back and forth in the hallway. One of them was a woman with elegant blue eyes and dark lashes, while the other was a 10-year-old child. However, both of them were staring at the door with a worried expression on their faces.
Inside the room, at the side of the bed, stood a doctor who looked like your typical old man, and a nurse who looked like a priestess from a Buddhist temple. Currently, the doctor was holding a beautiful young woman's wrist while the nurse was pressing a damp cloth on the woman's forehead.
As for the young woman, her eyebrows were thin and dark, with an arc that made them resemble a crescent moon, while her hair was long and black, reaching down to her waist, with a pair of lips that were light pink and heart-shaped. Since her eyes were closed, it was possible to see the beautiful peach color on her eyelids and her black eyelashes with their perfect spines.Basically, she was a beauty that could bring about the destruction of a nation!
None of them could see that the soul of this beautiful young woman was floating over her body. Despite her youthful appearance, when Cheng Shuyi looked at those incredible and rare crystal-blue eyes, she saw an unbelievable amount of suffering, as if she had seen everything in the world and realized how ugly the world could be.
"You've finally arrived." The girl's voice was soft and delicate, but there was a touch of maturity that should not have existed in such a rich young lady.
"Yes, I have." Cheng Shuyi responds stupidly, astonished by that calm look.
"Come here, I need to prepare you for what is to come," the voice said in a tone that contained a little more heat.
Cheng Shuyi approached, the young woman took her hand. Then, a sudden flow of heat passed through her hand and entered her soul. The woman of the modern world released a moan that was filled with pleasure, blushing a little out of embarrassment. In her 40 years of life, this was the first time she had done something so embarrassing!
Shortly after, a stream of memories invaded her soul. After that, a few more seconds passed before Cheng Shuyi opened her eyes in surprise, but before she could confirm the facts with this blue-eyed beauty, the girl had already begun to fade away.
"I only have one request. I want you to make that person happy." The beautiful young woman gave Cheng Shuyi a single warm smile.
"Why don't you make him happy? He loves you!" She said sadly. After receiving the girl's memories, she could feel how much that man loved her.
"Because I do not deserve his love. I had my chance, but I deceived myself, trusted my enemies, and abandoned my family to their death. I am not worthy of that person." The young woman's voice was calm, but hidden within the depths of that calm lake was an overwhelming sadness and regret.
"You can ..." Cheng Shuyi tried to speak, but the young woman interrupted.
" Try again? Even if I try again, the man I loved is that piece of trash that betrayed me. I can not cling to the pure love of that person, I would just stain it. My only wish is for that person to be happy. Please, help him. He needs your help. And, thank you!" With those last words, the young woman turned into a dazzling light and shot up into the sky.
Cheng Shuyi stood for a while, staring at the sky and wondering which star would be the pretty young woman.
"I hope your next reincarnation has a better ending." Cheng Shuyi prayed in her heart.
At this moment, as the doctor was preparing to give up on this young lady who lay unconscious in front of him, Cheng Shuyi approached the body and felt an invisible force draw her in.
When she reopened her eyes, she was stunned once again because she was no longer that modern woman from Shanghai. As of now, She was a young lady from a military family in Xanzia.
She was Sheng Shuyi!
