Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 882 - 795: Evil Deeds Will Be Punished
Guo Quanzhi left the water and reached the shore, already weak, having been struck by Jiang Yuan's lightning, attacked by a tiger, bitten, and now having his Divine Soul shaved off. He felt his body so light it might evaporate in the sunlight at any moment.
He nodded weakly in agreement, hiding in the shadows and looking up at the sky. Taking advantage of the sun being momentarily obscured by a cloud, he sprinted out with extreme speed and jumped off the second-floor balcony—one more leap and he would be in the rolling river, submerging in the water. From there, he could lie low for a while and let his benefactor choose a new prey…
"Splash!"
"Sizzle—"
"Ah! Help…"
A short, unfinished scream was abruptly cut off, followed by silence.
Jiang Yuan and the others felt something unusual, walked over to look down, and were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Old Zhang, holding a fire basin, looked up and saw them, explaining with a laugh: "Don't even mention it, the heavy rain caused a big landslide on the hill below. The house almost got swept away with it.
I figured the family must have some good fortune to survive that, so I quickly prepared a fire basin to ward off bad luck. The firewood was a bit damp and wouldn't catch, so I added some barbecue accelerant. See how nicely it burns, bright and flaming!"
Everyone there, human, Immortal, and ghost alike: …
So it turned out Guo Quanzhi happened to jump right into the fire basin and was immediately sent off physically.
"You've really set up a good fire basin!" Chuci gave a thumbs-up in praise, "Absolutely flaming! I'll make a reservation at your place tonight for the highest standard meal, to catch some of that good fortune."
Old Zhang's grin widened with joy, "No worries, I'll personally handle the grilling to ensure you're all satisfied!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Only after dinner did the water recede, and the driver drove in to pick everyone up;
Wu Genxiang, having slept deeply, finally awoke, borrowed Chuci's eye drops to meet his younger brother. They talked for a long time, reflecting on more than five years of confusion, and couldn't help but break into tears.
"Learn from your mistakes, consider it a destined tribulation now past." Wu Yegen advised sincerely: "Back then, you insisted on divorce. Our parents decided to give the family assets to sister-in-law, so at least she could take care of the children.
Whenever they have free time, the old folks help out. Sister-in-law knows your issue was mental, and she appreciates our parents' kindness, so she hasn't remarried. If you're truly remorseful, use your wealth to be good to the kids. You might even win her back.
Additionally, Dad's taken care of by you now. Mom's burial site was chosen long ago. You know where it is; visit often to pay respects.
There's nothing more to advise. You're almost forty; it's time you stopped relying on the family. Settle down and live well. I have nothing left to worry about, so I'm leaving now."
Just as he was ready to leave, he suddenly turned back to remind, "To restore your soul, Jiang Yuan, Mu Mian, Chuci, Tiezhu big brother, and the two Immortal families put in a lot of effort.
Especially Jiang Yuan, only meeting me the second time and already doing such a big favor. They are your lifesavers, and you must compensate them for their hard work. Don't forget!"
After expressing gratitude and farewells to everyone, Wu Yegen turned and disappeared through the light door.
Wu Genxiang felt suffocated and silently cried.
Nearly six years felt like a dream, waking to find his mother dead because of him, his father tormented for years, his brother dead, his wife turned ex-wife raising two children alone.
All this stemmed from a moment of greedy desire.
"Thank you all." After a long time, he stood up and bowed deeply in gratitude, "Previously, I was immature and constantly worried my parents. I wanted excitement over a good life, and let Pei Jiqiang lead me astray, chasing dreamlike adventures.
It was truly my fault, and I've paid the price for my mistakes.
Thank you for your help. I'll transfer payment for everyone's hard work immediately! Also, I might need a ride back with you, to first settle my dad. Tomorrow, I'll buy some things and visit the kids; maybe she still gives me a chance to make amends."
Huang San jumped onto Jiang Yuan's shoulder, murmuring, "A great act of merit, punishing the Water Ghost, preventing a landslide that saved many lives, sending off spirits, and guiding Wu Genxiang back to the righteous path—Jiang has accumulated great virtue this time!"
