The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 359 - 357: Love to the Point of Stealing Ashes?

Chapter 359: Chapter 357: Love to the Point of Stealing Ashes?

Qin Zhao didn’t wait for the director to relay the message before she turned and walked away.

Chu Yan furrowed his brows but didn’t immediately follow her.

Because he feared that Qin Zhao would beat him up again. Although Qin Zhao didn’t hit hard, and her blows were light, being beaten in public wasn’t the same as in bed— he still cared about his face.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Yan took a helicopter alone and had it follow Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao’s Divine Sense had long detected it, and she couldn’t help but snort disdainfully.

That damn dog still expects her to bear his children?

Is he out of his mind?

When Chu Yan finally kicks the bucket, would she have to burden herself with worries about his child? Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Moreover, having children wasn’t something she could decide on her own.

Qin Zhao descended the mountain quickly, deliberately taking a lesser-known path through the woods rather than the usual scenic route, so as not to let the helicopter track her movements.

As she reached the foot of the mountain, a loud wailing suddenly echoed through the woods.

"Who the hell did it! Who dug up my daughter’s grave!

I had such a hard time raising my daughter, only to end up sending my white hair to the grave before my black hair!

Which unscrupulous bastard has the audacity to steal my daughter’s ashes!"

Qin Zhao’s footsteps paused, and she headed towards the source of the crying.

She saw a lone grave in the forest, but the tomb had been dug open and the urn with the ashes was missing. The deceased’s father knelt in front of the gravestone, crying as if his heart would break.

"My daughter! Oh, I have failed you! Even in death you can’t find peace!"

Qin Zhao approached and asked, "When did your daughter die?"

"A half month ago. What sins have I committed for the heavens to treat me like this!"

"Don’t cry for now. I can help you find the ashes."

The old man’s crying stopped abruptly, "Can you really find them? But there are no cameras here, and so many tourists come by usually, it’s impossible to know who took the ashes."

"I have my ways. What’s your daughter’s date and time of birth?"

The old man hesitated for a while. He thought the ashes were already lost and since this person claimed to have a way, it wouldn’t hurt to try; maybe they really could be found.

He then told Qin Zhao his daughter’s date and time of birth.

Qin Zhao planned to try the Soul Summoning Technique first.

If she could summon the deceased’s soul, the soul would know where the ashes were. If the soul had already gone to the underworld, she would need to think of another plan.

The Spell’s glow emerged at her fingertips, and the old man was completely astonished.

By the time he gathered his wits, a translucent figure had appeared before him.

"Dad!"

The soul rushed towards the old man in excitement.

"My daughter! My poor unfortunate daughter!"

Now, the old man could also see his daughter’s soul as Qin Zhao had opened his Heavenly Eye.

They tried to embrace each other, but contact was impossible.

"You can’t touch each other. First, tell me where your ashes are."

Hearing Qin Zhao’s question, they calmed down.

The old man was named Jia Gang, and his daughter was named Jia Mengqiao.

They were villagers from the base of the mountain, and Jia Mengqiao had died in an accident. Her father buried her here.

But shortly after her first seven days of mourning had passed, and while waiting for the Netherworld Envoy to receive her soul to the underworld for reincarnation, a man came to dig up her grave and took her ashes.

As a result, Jia Mengqiao couldn’t rest in peace and go to the underworld; her soul followed her stolen ashes.

"After he dug up my ashes, he kept them close to him every day, and even slept with them. Sometimes, he would even talk to himself, muttering the name of a woman.

I really don’t understand why he would steal my ashes. I tried to visit him in dreams asking him to return the ashes, but he didn’t take the dreams seriously."

Apart from communicating through dreams, I couldn’t do anything else. I could only stay by the ashes first and then figure out another way."

"Holding your ashes, but calling another woman’s name?"

"Yeah, it’s weird, isn’t it? And I don’t know him!"

Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, she also couldn’t figure out why.

"Is he in Xiangnan?"

"Right in the village next to my house."

"You take me to find him, and I’ll help you get the ashes back."

Jia Gang and Jia Mengqiao continuously thanked Qin Zhao before taking her down the mountain to find that man.

Before long, they arrived at the neighboring village.

The man who stole the ashes was named Chai Longgui.

When they got to his house, they saw an urn on the table inside. Chai Longgui was working in the yard, dealing with the crops that had been harvested from the fields.

"This is my daughter’s urn!"

Jia Gang had bought this urn, and he recognized it immediately.

"Who are you?"

Chai Longgui looked at them warily.

"You stole my daughter’s ashes, give them back to me quickly!"

"Your daughter’s ashes?"

Chai Longgui glanced at the urn on the table, a sorrowful expression appearing on his face, "Uncle, I truly loved your daughter, please let her stay by my side!"

Jia Gang was so shocked that he couldn’t speak and it took him a while to find his voice.

"But my daughter is already dead."

"It doesn’t matter, whether she’s alive or dead, I still love her!"

Jia Mengqiao frowned, "I don’t even know you, what nonsense are you talking about loving?"

Hearing his daughter’s words, Jia Gang quickly said, "My daughter doesn’t know you, how could you possibly love her? It looks to me like you’re just looking for an excuse!"

"She doesn’t know me, but I know her. If it wasn’t because she had a boyfriend, I would have confessed to her a long time ago, I’ve actually loved her for many years."

As he spoke, Chai Longgui’s eyes reddened.

"I didn’t expect that before I had the chance to confess, she just left like that.

I really couldn’t accept it, so I took her ashes home, hoping to be with her forever."

After saying these words, Chai Longgui’s voice was somewhat choked up.

Qin Zhao asked Chai Longgui, "Do you still remember what his daughter’s name was?"

"Her name was Jia Mengqiao."

Jia Mengqiao wasn’t moved and said to Qin Zhao, "Since he likes me so much, why was he holding my ashes and calling out another woman’s name?"

She had heard everything while she was with the ashes!

Jia Gang opened his mouth, about to question Chai Longgui.

Qin Zhao suddenly gave him a meaningful look, "It’s rare to find someone with such deep and true feelings in this world; why not just leave the ashes with him.

If he one day moves on from his grief, you can take the ashes back."

Upon hearing this, Chai Longgui excitedly said to Jia Gang, "Uncle! Please believe in my love for Mengqiao! I won’t marry anyone else in the future, I’ll only ever love her!"

Jia Gang had a complex expression, "During this time, have you always kept Qiaoqiao’s ashes by your side?"

"Yes, I eat and sleep with her every day, as if she’s still with me."

"Since you’re so persistent, I, as a father, can only accommodate you.

After all, she’s gone, and to have a man who truly cares for her is indeed rare."

Jia Gang glanced at Qin Zhao, and the two turned around and left Chai Longgui’s home.

Watching them go, Chai Longgui looked at the urn on the table. His face was devoid of the earlier sorrow, instead, it bore a strange and triumphant smile.
