Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1689: Chapter 1689: Meng Po

Qi Wen saw all the brothers looking at her. "Okay, I get it, I won’t take risks."

Only Meng Po and her were left, and just then a batch of souls came over. Qi Wen helped receive them; by now she was very familiar with this business.

"You’ll cover for me for two months? I’ll go down and have some fun?"

"Can’t the two of us go together?"

"I don’t have anyone to cover my shift."

Su Yuanyuan was clearly helpless, looking at Meng Po with envy. "Where do you want to go?"

"I want to go to the modern world, take a look at the bustling big cities."

"Ambitious. Go ahead, I’ll cover you for two months. You should also know I’m leaving after those two months."

"I know, relax, I definitely won’t delay your matters. I’m just going down to have a look. Is there anything you want? I’ll bring it back for you."

Qi Wen shook her head. "I don’t really need anything. Just go live it up."

"Haha, exactly. I’m going to live it up."

How could King Yan not know Meng Po had left? He hadn’t expected this girl to actually be able to handle the job too.

Ten days later, Qi Wen also felt fed up. Credit to Meng Po for having such patience. But calling Meng Po back like this didn’t feel very decent.

That fellow was definitely having so much fun outside she’d forgotten home. Later Gu Ersheng took over Qi Wen’s work, and she sat to the side listening to stories.

Qi Wen really had guessed right about Meng Po. Meng Po went straight to the modern world. She was an Immortal after all. Even if she was a Ghost Immortal, she was still an Immortal.

She appeared openly on the street, everything looking fresh and novel. It wasn’t that she’d never seen this kind of interface, but personally experiencing it really felt different.

Looking at all the street food, she realized how many years it’d been since she last tasted anything. She’d already forgotten what food tasted like. Seeing the clothes the beauties on the street were wearing, she honestly felt she couldn’t get used to it.

This time, her appearance was that of an old lady. Walking down the street, she felt completely out of place.

Suddenly, she had a feeling: she needed to find her destined person.

Meng Po smirked. Her destined person? Who knows who that is? What kind of fate?

At their level, there was always a kind of vague sense of things.

Because she kept turning her head left and right, her walking speed slowed a lot. She already understood what traffic lights were for. A pretty little girl actually came over to support her arm. "Grandma, let me help you."

Such a busybody—she could walk just fine without help. But she still smiled. She hadn’t expected that, just by glancing at the girl’s face, she could see this was an early-death fate. And she even saw that the girl’s lifeline could be extended?

Now this was interesting. For something like this to show up in front of Meng Po.

At that moment, a car came barreling through like a maniac. The little girl actually shoved Meng Po out of the way, and she herself was sent flying by the car.

Seeing that happen made Meng Po narrow her eyes. So this was her destined person.

She froze time, looked at the girl. There was no saving her; this was her fate. But what annoyed Meng Po was that somehow she’d ended up entangled in causality with the girl.

Ferocity filled Meng Po’s face. Her temperament was different from others; a normal person should be grateful to this girl, but she was different—she was sick to death of this kind of karmic shackle.

By now she’d already seen the rest of the girl’s fate.

Turns out she was a darling of the Heavenly Dao, actually able to be reborn.

But Meng Po didn’t want to have any dealings with that type of person, so she casually flicked out one of her own Storage Bracelets and bound it to the girl’s soul.

In an instant, she felt much lighter. That was the causality dispersing.

Frowning, Meng Po looked up at the Heavenly Dao. So this was them making her deliver goodies! They really thought highly of themselves. What she hated most was being threatened like this.

She moved her fingers slightly, and the space inside the Storage Bracelet shrank a lot. That made her feel much more comfortable.

With a wave of her hand, time began flowing again. She saw chaos all around. The at-fault driver was also a young girl. Though she looked terrified, Meng Po could see excitement and smugness in her eyes.

There was hatred here; this was how she chose to resolve it. The danger Meng Po had just faced was actually because of this girl.

People came over to check on Meng Po. She was fine, so they let her go.

But she actually overheard someone saying she had no heart—that the little girl died to save her, and she stayed indifferent.

Heavy ferocity welled up in Meng Po’s heart. She moved her fingers again. This girl’s life was originally supposed to be very smooth—if she wanted to do something, wouldn’t it be effortless?

After she finished, Meng Po felt a bit uncomfortable. This was punishment on herself.

She grew even more furious inside. What had she even done? Wasn’t this exactly what they call moral kidnapping? She’d taken a disaster for nothing.

She continued wandering around, but that good mood was gone. She simply left; there were too many ignorant people.

She’d actually ended up bearing punishment over a mess like this.

This time she didn’t really personally experience much; she was just watching the world’s human affairs.

She felt things had already twisted. There were always some self-righteous people, using their own standards to judge others, assuming they themselves were always right, and not allowing anyone to argue back.

It was honestly depressing. How did people end up like this?

She’d originally planned to stay outside for a few years; who knew she’d end up with sin on her record just like that. Depressed, she returned to the Underworld.

"I was just getting annoyed and you already came back?"

"Don’t even bring it up, I’m seriously pissed off."

Qi Wen laughed. "What happened? Tell me your depressing story so I can cheer up a bit?"

"How can you be like this? You’re supposed to comfort me." Meng Po shouted, stretching her neck.

Qi Wen laughed even more happily. "Do you really need my comfort? Okay, what happened? Let me listen to it as a joke."

"You’re so not a real friend." Meng Po slumped into a seat and told Qi Wen what happened.

"Hahaha, you’re really too stubborn. You should just go along with the Heavenly Dao."

"I just feel like I’m being forced."

"She’s someone with great fortune. What’s the point of you going against her fate?"

"Ugh, I’m not going out again."

"Perfect, I’m heading back too. I want to see my parents again. After my mom returns, I’m going to advance to Mahayana."

"You’re leaving? I think you’re doing fine here. Why don’t you cultivate here? I’m bored."

"No way. I’m a Human Cultivator, I won’t be a Ghost Cultivator."

"Hmph, I’ll cultivate hard too. Once I become a God, I can leave this place."

"Great, we’ll both work hard and meet again in the Divine Realm later."

"Who wants to be with you? You gloat over my misery, you’re not a good friend."

Even though Meng Po said that, she still waved her hand and let Qi Wen see visions of her parents.

"Your mom is the one with truly great destiny."

"Isn’t that obvious?"

In the scene, Su Yuanyuan was indeed leisurely living her life.

"So my parents really plan to spend their whole lives like this?"

"What’s wrong with that? If you had younger brothers and sisters, that’s when your whole family would really be upset, okay?"

Qi Wen thought about how, even without blood ties, they were a family on the level of souls; the relationships were messy enough.

"Qi Wen, how did your mom ever fall for your dad?"

"What’s wrong with my dad? My dad is the best man there is."
