Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 866 - 787: How Could We Even Divorce? (Part 2)

Let me tell you something heartfelt, our brotherly relationship used to be truly great, after all, we've shared so many years of familial bond as real brothers.

But he only cares about his own happiness, selfishly causing the death of my mother; to say I don't hate him or blame him would be a lie.

Especially in the dead of night, when no one can see me or talk to me, I keep reflecting on my brief life. Sometimes I wish it was him who died back then; that would've been nice! At least the old man could have me to take care of him properly, saving him from suffering because of my brother."

As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion, tears falling, "Now you're saying his soul is fragmented, I just... I just think if it's really because of a missing soul, making him unable to control himself, then maybe he's also a victim, and he's not so hateful, right?

Since you can see it, and you've got a big tiger with you, you must be a master!

Please help us, be kind, if you can help him retrieve his soul, maybe he wouldn't live so muddle-headed all the time, at least he could realize and take good care of our old dad."

"I can indeed see it, but my skill points are not allocated to summoning souls, so even if I want to help, I'm powerless." Jiang Yuan was in a dilemma. From his observation, Wu Genxiang's situation seemed more like divine soul damage, not just an ordinary lost soul. After hearing this, he pondered: "However, I can help you contact a friend to see if he can summon spirits, and perhaps try it for your brother."

Wu Yegen happily wiped his tears and expressed his gratitude, repeatedly assuring that his brother had money, and regardless of success, the effort would be compensated.

Whether there's money or not doesn't matter, the key is that it's the first time Jiang Yuan saw someone with soul anomalies in the real world, and he wanted to take the opportunity to learn some relevant knowledge.

When he called Li Tiezhu, it had been nearly a week since his last job.

According to their previous habit, he and Master Huang San would travel far and wide, naturally receiving various commissions by expanding their range.

But since getting to know Jiang, who makes incense, Master Huang San was a bit reluctant to leave this feng shui treasure land and had been staying there from spring to summer.

Recently, he had been considering if he couldn't get any commissions, he should head north for some cool air while seeing if he could find some jobs to earn some living expenses. Coincidentally, Jiang Yuan's call ignited new hope in them.

However, after hearing the details, Master Huang San adjusted his round glasses and replied: "Losing a soul is neither a big nor a small matter. The key is, from your description, I feel it doesn't seem like a simple lost soul.

How about I contact a more professional friend, we go over together to see what's really going on."

"Thank you, Master Huang San. Here's the plan, I'll have a driver pick you up directly." Chuci was particularly excited when encountering such situations, looking up at the sky, which was yellowing and darkening again, and said: "The weather doesn't look good, it might really pour heavily. Let's solve this soon, and tonight I'll treat us to some barbeque at a farmhouse!"

Wu Yegen was both nervous and moved, enduring the wait with patience that felt as long as years;

Jiang Yuan and Chuci, afraid of losing track of Wu Genxiang, bought two bottles of soda and sat under the big willow tree, occasionally glancing at the silent, disheveled man sitting beside the old father.

"Crack!"

Amidst a fierce wind, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, darkening the day.

Huang San, following Li Tiezhu out of the car, flinched back at the sound of thunder.

A girl in her twenties, stylishly dressed, jumped out of the car behind them. She looked up at the rolling thunder, then returned to the car and waited for a while, only getting out after the storm had passed.

"Mu Mian from your family is so understanding and considerate; look at the one I found, sigh! Fate indeed!" Huang San got out of the car slowly, while the unseen Li Tiezhu had already walked briskly ahead.

After tidying his clothes, he grumbled and took small steps forward.

"Master, come onto me," Mu Mian extended her arm, smiling sweetly, "Brother Li can't see you, he doesn't know you're not following, but that can't be helped. The weather isn't great, let's go inside quickly."

A basketball-sized water bubble floated above her head, with a splendid goldfish swimming freely inside; its large golden tail fluttered like a dress, and whenever it spoke, it released a string of bubbles: "So, have you considered changing partners, Master? In recent years, more young people aspire to become Top Immortal, maybe there's a better fit."

Huang San squatted on Mu Mian's shoulder, grunting: "I'm not as lucky as you, where else could I find another smart, considerate, and kind kid like Mu Mian!

In today's world, all the smart kids go to college and build careers; no one wants to delve into Immortals and spirits. Those aspiring to become Top Immortal are just ignorant kids, each finding a master on livestream to learn beginner's tricks, how sharp can their minds be? They aren't even as good as Tiezhu."

The large goldfish chuckled at the comment;

Mu Mian whispered: "Actually, it's really about fate; many want to enter this line, but their physical constitution doesn't allow them.

Brother Li is diligent and reliable. At the last gathering, the Immortal Family from Southern Xinjiang lamented, having found a spirited young man whom they constantly worried about.

But that young man realized he had no other means of income, remained devoted to the Immortal Family, and they couldn't separate; all they could do was vent to us, and after venting, had to help the young man clean up messes."

"Ah, who knows what karma one has amassed over lifetimes; you make do, what else can you do?" Huang San pointed the way, "The one in the white tee is Jiang, Mu Mian, see if you can add him on WeChat; this young man is extraordinary!"

Li Tiezhu had already exchanged pleasantries and did a simple introduction among them.

Chuci glanced at Mu Mian, dressed in a crop top and short shorts, sweet-looking, then at the dazzling goldfish floating above her, feeling like he was watching a fantasy movie.

"Aunt Yu usually doesn't go out, but hearing from Master Huang San that this situation is tricky, she was worried I couldn't handle it alone, so she came along." Mu Mian introduced straightforwardly and then, looking at the overcast sky, spoke fast: "Let's head inside quickly, soon there might be more lightning and thunder."

Jiang Yuan pointed casually to Wu Genxiang sitting not far away, "Could you both take a look first? We can have a detailed discussion inside later."

Following his point, both Huang San and Aunt Yu looked over.

"Gulp! Indeed, the divine soul is damaged, and it seems quite severe."

"A bit far off, I can't quite see." Huang San adjusted his round glasses, smiling: "In this field, you're the expert; today, we'll follow your lead."

As they talked, the group - humans, ghosts, and Immortal - entered the farmhouse's main hall.

Outside, another round of lightning and thunder struck, as eager anglers gathered there awaiting the downpour rushed out, hoping for a satisfying heavy rain.

Chuci booked a private room, and the owner served tea.

Once the door was closed, the floor-to-ceiling windows provided an unobstructed view of the situation outside, naturally including the silhouettes of Wu Genxiang and the old father within sight range.

"Can you elaborate more on what happened to your brother?" Mu Mian asked familiarly after sitting down, "Any detail you can recall counts.

From your brother's soul condition, it's clearly not recent damage—it's at least six or seven years old. Given this long timeframe, we need enough information to try and help resolve it."

Wu Yegen was immediately shocked, "Six or seven years ago, that's when my brother got so obsessed with fishing that it ended up destroying our family! Let me think… I remember it started with my sister-in-law saying that my brother's coworker named… Pei Jiqiang, yes, that's the name.

My brother lacked self-discipline in school, got addicted to gaming, and was only able to get into a junior college because our parents beat and scolded him.

After graduation, our parents spent money and used connections to get him a job as a librarian, and he was living well.

About six years ago, my sister-in-law mentioned a coworker who loved fishing and dragged my brother along, but after a whole day of fishing with no catch, afraid of her being angry, he bought a fish from the market instead.

Back then, my brother was still normal, fishing only on holidays, sometimes even taking my sister-in-law, nephew, and niece along—the four of them happily together.

About half a year later, Pei Jiqiang drowned while fishing!

My sister-in-law was terrified and advised my brother to go to the river less, especially to isolated spots, and if he liked fishing, to do so at official sites, and not fish too late.

These were words of concern, nothing wrong with them, but my brother flew into a rage, found her too fussy, argued with her, and stormed out to fish, not returning all night.

From there, he got more obsessed, running to the riverbank after work, not even coming home. Eventually, he quit his job and practically lived by the river, more and more engulfed by the fixation…"
