The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 537 - Chapter 537 Chapter 537 Fulfillment

Chapter 537: Chapter 537 Fulfillment Chapter 537: Chapter 537 Fulfillment Upon seeing Zhong Niangyao, the Judge was also startled for a moment. He had not expected to encounter Zhong Niangyao here. Recalling the recent commotion, he somewhat felt that this was, in fact, normal.

A thunderbolt had suddenly appeared in hell, and he immediately realized that someone in the mortal world was committing a defiance of the heavens–reviving a ghost.

There were rules in the mortal world, and there were rules in the underworld. The resurrection of a ghost was absolutely forbidden, whether it be in the Human World or in hell.

Such a significant event shook the entire underworld, even King Yan was alarmed. However, King Yan was currently in seclusion, so he directly communicated with him telepathically, instructing him to go to the mortal world to investigate what had happened.

Only a highly powerful individual could achieve the resurrection of a ghost. Sending an ordinary Netherworld Messenger might end in a loss of troops and generals. Therefore, the Judge took it upon himself to handle the situation.

He had thought of many people and even speculated that it might be the doing of an Evil Cultivator with formidable power, but he had never imagined that it would be Zhong Niangyao’s doing.

Yet, upon further reflection, he realized that perhaps only Zhong Niangyao could wield such immense power.

He observed Zhong Niangyao subtly, his initially guarded demeanor gradually relaxed.

After looking around the surroundings, the Judge cleared his throat, his expression becoming very serious as he spoke, “An anomaly abruptly appeared in the underworld, thus this Judge has specially come to investigate.”

During his speech, his gaze fell on Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing, and he immediately discerned what had occurred.

Sure enough, a ghost had been resurrected, but it wasn’t as he had imagined, someone forcibly reviving a soul. Instead, someone was willingly sharing their life span with a ghost who had already died.

Sensing the Judge’s gaze, Long Haoguang quickly positioned himself in front of Lian Chuqing, adopting a protective stance.

Everyone else tensed up immediately. The arrival of the Judge gave them a sense of being called to account. It wasn’t their fault–reviving the dead, no matter how you viewed it, was a defiance of nature.

What they were now worried about was whether the Judge had come to forcibly take Lian Chuqing’s soul again.

Zhong Niangyao stepped forward and began, “Judge, although this is a case of a ghost returning to life, no life span has been stolen. Someone is willing to share their life with her. It may be against the rules, but it hasn’t disturbed the balance of heaven and earth. Please, Your Honor, show leniency and bless this pair of lovers.”

The Judge looked deeply at Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing before turning his gaze back to Zhong Niangyao, his expression unchanged, “This Judge has seen it all, indeed it is rare to witness such deeply sincere individuals.”

It was the truth. He had seen many lovers, so deep in their affections they would die without each other. But when it came to a real confrontation with life and death, many were unable to follow through to the end.

Yet here was someone willing to sacrifice their own life for someone who was deceased. This was truly fulfilling the vow to die on the same day, month, and year.

Perhaps this was the epitome of ’till death do us part.’

Even for him, accustomed as he was to life and death, such a scene couldn’t help but stir his emotions. And even more so–

His gaze shifted subtly towards Zhong Niangyao, a trace of a sentimental feeling emerging.

This whole incident was instigated by our little ancestor here, and not to mention him, probably even King Yan would struggle to stop it!

“So,” Zhong Niangyao quickly pressed the advantage, “you won’t pursue this matter further, Judge? This could also be considered a way to bless these lovers.”

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt the Judge was acting somewhat peculiarly. Moreover, she thought she had caught him stealing a glance at her just now.

However, she quickly dismissed the thought.

It was their first meeting with this Judge, plus what she did was indeed enough to disturb hell. Perhaps this Judge just had a soft heart–that would explain his attitude.

The others, after hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, all watched the Judge anxiously, awaiting his final judgement.

The Judge now represented the stance of hell. If he was willing to let the matter go, it would be a perfect resolution.

If the Judge insisted on not letting go, even if nothing could be done at the moment, they would have to remain vigilant against reprisals from the underworld in the future.

Zhong Niangyao was here now, and they might be safe. But Zhong Niangyao couldn’t always follow them around. What then?

The Judge fell silent and did not reply immediately to Zhong Niangyao’s question.

Zhong Niangyao wasn’t in a hurry and simply stood there waiting quietly, without prompting further, and even her facial expression did not change much.

Unlike Zhong Niangyao’s composure, the others were all hanging on tenterhooks, their breaths even slowing.

After a long time, the Judge spoke again, “Since that is the case, let this matter pass.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing and continued, “However, the resurrection of a ghost is, in the end, a disturbance to the balance of heaven. Although the other party is willing to share their lifespan, such an action against the balance of heaven will indeed reduce the lifespan.”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing the Judge’s words. Clearly, they had not been made aware of this because Zhong Niangyao had never mentioned it.

Yet immediately afterward, they let it go.

What did it matter if they knew? Long Haoguang was ready to give up his life for Lian Chuqing, so why would he care about losing some lifespan?

Zhong Niangyao nodded her head, “Then we thank you, Judge, for your generosity.”

The Judge gave Zhong Niangyao a nod after looking at her.

Then the space rippled and the room’s temperature returned to normal. The figure of the Judge also vanished from everyone’s sight.

A collective sigh of relief was heard from everyone present.

Long Haoguang hugged Lian Chuqing tightly, murmuring continuously, “It’s great, really great. Qingqing, we can finally be together openly.”

Naturally, the others were very happy as well.

When everyone looked at Zhong Niangyao, their eyes couldn’t help but show a touch of respect.

They had never thought that even in front of the Judge, Zhong Niangyao had such influence, able to ensure both Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing were safe.

They were not fools and naturally didn’t think the Judge truly sympathized with Long Haoguang and Lian Chuqing, thereby agreeing to bless the couple.
