Chapter 613: Send Him to Reincarnation, Right Now!

Qiu Hai spread his hands. "Exactly, especially since many people suffered disasters in this world before. The underworld is packed with souls, and even if he hasn’t committed any sins, he’ll have to wait about fifty years before he can reincarnate."

Xie Beihan stared wide-eyed at Nanli. "Sixth Sister, if I wait fifty years to reincarnate, will that work?"

Nanli replied irritably, "That’s one way to put it, but your soul will become weaker if it lingers in the mortal realm too long. How will you be able to cross the Yellow Springs when the time comes?"

Granny Meng chimed in, "That’s right. Staying for three to five months is already good enough. You want to stay for fifty years? Unless you absorb the strength of other souls, but that would be doing evil, and you’d end up in hell being punished."

Xie Beihan hurriedly shook his head. "For myself, for Xi’er and my child, I will absolutely not do anything evil!"

"Good." Nanli glanced at him appreciatively. "Sometimes being a bit simple-minded is a good thing. It may be a bit foolish, but your determination is commendable. You understand that if one person does evil, the whole family suffers."

Xie Beihan felt helpless. "Sixth Sister, please stop praising me."

He had never taken such compliments to heart, used to being carefree. Then he cautiously asked, "Sixth Sister, three months... that should be fine, right?"

He wanted to witness his good brother getting married.

Nanli didn’t respond immediately.

Ye Siheng found it odd but saw her approach Fan Yunxi and say, "Let me take your Divine Wood off and check the situation."

Xie Beihan panicked. "No! The Divine Wood protects my child; you can’t take it off!"

He already had enough misfortune and wouldn’t let his child suffer too.

"I’ll be fine," Nanli assured him.

With her words, Fan Yunxi readily removed the Divine Wood and handed it to her.

Nanli examined the Divine Wood and then looked at Fan Yunxi’s belly. "It seems..."

Ye Siheng walked over, also surprised. He had seen the Divine Wood before and knew what it originally looked like.

Now, however, there was a noticeable crack in it.

Xie Beihan floated over, wide-eyed. "What’s going on? How did a crack suddenly appear?"

He had checked it carefully before leaving home and hadn’t noticed anything.

Nanli explained, "This Divine Wood has eliminated the oppressive misfortune for your family, which is why it has developed this crack. It seems it won’t last much longer."

Now, the aura within Fan Yunxi’s belly had become much stronger than before.

Fan Yunxi frowned, confused. "Then why didn’t the marquis eliminate the misfortune even after wearing the Divine Wood for so long?"

Qiu Hai crossed his arms and leaned against the doorframe, glancing at Xie Beihan with a smirk. "What’s hard to understand? The Divine Wood doesn’t like him; it likes your unborn son instead."

After all, it was called Divine Wood—how could it lack spirit?

Xie Beihan, lacking in perception, took it in stride. "Really? My son is that likable?"

"The Ninth Prince, since my son is so charming, why don’t you give him a name?"

"Ah, it’s a pity. Hearing Sixth Sister say you’re destined to have no daughters in this life, or we could become in-laws later."

"..."

He chattered on and on.

Ye Siheng’s expression grew colder, impatience setting in.

He turned to Nanli. "A’Li, don’t make him a scarecrow body. Send him to reincarnation, right now! Immediately!"

Regret washed over him.

He shouldn’t have reminded A’Li!

"Don’t!" Xie Beihan panicked. "The Ninth Prince, I didn’t mean it! I’m just too excited about becoming a father and didn’t mean to show off..."

Ye Siheng shot him a fierce glare.

With his willpower holding back, he barely stopped himself from striking Xie Beihan.

So what if his wife was pregnant? What was there to brag about?

"Alright, the prince isn’t that petty," Nanli said, shaking the Divine Wood in her hand. "After I make you a scarecrow body, you can keep this Divine Wood. The longer it lasts, the longer you can stay in the mortal realm."

Xie Beihan was overjoyed. "Thank you, Sixth Sister! Thank you, Divine Wood!"

Fan Yunxi’s eyes were misty. She wiped her eyes and bowed. "Thank you, the Ninth Princess."

Nanli signaled Qiu Hai and Granny Meng to head back and not delay the duties of the Nether World.

They reluctantly closed the door behind them.

Then she dug through her bag for straw, starting to tie up the scarecrow.

Xie Beihan initially wanted her to make it look good—bigger chest, longer legs, and so on.

But with Ye Siheng watching him coldly, he swallowed his words, not daring to say anything.

After finishing the scarecrow, Nanli prepared to use the talisman.

Ye Siheng quickly stopped her. "A’Li, don’t forget, the scarecrow is naked when it lands."

"I almost forgot," Nanli replied, pausing. "I don’t have any men’s clothes."

Her bag was filled with talismans and such, unlike Second Brother, who packed jewelry and fur clothing.

That meant they would have to go back to the Capital to get Xie Beihan some scarecrow clothing.

But then there was a big problem.

Empress Xie’s soul had already scattered, but what to do about her body?

Xie Beihan had died; should he take the body back for burial rites?

Xie Beihan made a decision. "I need the Ninth Prince to help with a small task: buy two coffins. My aunt deserves her due, but she treated me well in the past. Without her protection, I couldn’t have lived so carefree until today. As for myself, I’ll also be buried in the Xie family ancestral grave, with no public mourning."

He wanted to use this scarecrow body to walk around in the future; he couldn’t scare people off, could he?

Nanli looked at the blood-stained Empress Xie, feeling a twinge of sadness.

"With Yao Sheng using the old marquis as a shield, the Xie family enjoyed glory, but that was an evil formation that not only damaged the future fortunes of the descendants but also brought continuous disasters. The glory gained would eventually be repaid."

If Yao Sheng hadn’t been there, Empress Xie would have had a different life.

Xie Beihan smiled bitterly. "I read in books that while everyone has a fate that is hard to defy, as long as you maintain a good heart and do good deeds, there’s often a chance for a miraculous escape. Now that I’m dead, the Divine Wood has given me the opportunity to stay in the mortal realm. Sixth Sister, what doesn’t belong to the Xie family should be returned. I only hope that the Xie family can be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster."

Nanli looked at his soul, still feeling a bit sad.

There was a significant difference between living people and scarecrows.

When it came to relationships, Xie Beihan and Fan Yunxi could embrace, but they could no longer go further.
