Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Immortal Official Zhang Su wanted to resurrect me in Anping’s corpse.
I refused, telling him that I was a toad and had no desire to be human.
He looked at me as if I were a fool, his lips twitching. He made it clear that whether I did it or not was my business; he didn’t care.
With that, he made a move to leave.
I rushed to stop him. “You can’t go! What will happen to me if you leave?”
Zhang Su snorted. “What else? Your soul will dissipate.”
I didn’t believe him. “What about Anping? Did Anping’s soul dissipate too?”
“She is human. After death, she enters the cycle of rebirth. You are a beast. If you cannot reach the Place of Reincarnation, you can only vanish from this world.”
“Why can’t I reach the Place of Reincarnation?”
“How should I know? All things in heaven and earth have their destiny. If you can’t go, there’s naturally a reason for it.”
Zhang Su gave a meaningful smile. “Perhaps it’s because you’ve committed too many evils.”
Committed too many evils.
Those four words were simply too hurtful to a kind-hearted toad.
In my indignation, I began to wail. “You’re the one who’s committed evils! Your whole family is evil! I never harmed a living soul! At most, I ate some aphids, and they were always munching on Anping’s vegetables. Eating them was just getting rid of pests for her! How is that evil?”
Given my emotional state and the volume of my wailing, Zhang Su backed down, explaining helplessly, “I was just joking with you. Why are you howling? Calm down.”
I ignored him and continued to cry loudly, “You wicked immortal! You stepped on an innocent toad! You’ve harmed a living creature! Karma will find you!”
Zhang Su looked sheepish. “Fine, fine, stop howling. Look, I can only resurrect you in Princess Anping’s body. The choice is yours.
“Is being human so bad? Why are you so set on being a toad? Princess Anping died a wrongful death. Don’t you want to avenge her and punish the villains who bullied her?
“A toad turning into a princess – do you know how rare this opportunity is? Your destiny is about to change. Your future will be brilliant and beyond noble.
“Hurry up and choose. Either become the princess or let your soul dissipate. Don’t waste my time. I’m very busy; a lovestruck fool of a friend has run into trouble, and I need to go see if he’s dead yet.”
“I… I’m willing to be resurrected in Anping’s body. But I have one condition.”
Zhang Su was not an immortal with a good temper. I could feel his patience thinning bit by bit.
I was terrified that he really would just walk away and leave me to my fate.
So, I thought it over and over, finally gritting my teeth. “I want to see Anping one last time.”
