Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 180 It’s Not Easy to Be a Ghost Messenger in the Underworld (End)

"Shan Yu!" Meng Nianchan wiped away her tears and ran towards the man.

But the man took a step ahead and quickly came in front of the woman, blocking the rubble out of habit.

Before he finished, he gently wiped away the tears from the woman's eyes with his fingertips and said softly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I like crying more and more."

Meng Nianchan raised her eyes, her gaze flickered slightly, and was about to say something when she was interrupted by the man.

"Jiaojiao, it's dangerous here, let's go outside first, okay?" The man's hands were warm and strong, which made people feel at ease.

After the two men came out of another cave entrance, the cave collapsed with a loud bang.

After a while, the members of the archaeological team felt relieved when they saw the two people returning unharmed.

But the ones who came back this time were the real Shan Yuzheng and Meng Qing.

As for Shan Yu and Meng Nianchan, they naturally went to hang out somewhere else.

......

In the underworld, Shi Qi looked at the two people opposite him who were being affectionate and showing off their love, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Ayu, eat this~"

"Eat Jiao Jiao~"

"Ayu, my legs hurt~"

"Here? Now?"

"..."

This state lasted for a long time.

Shi Qi calmed down and felt a headache when he thought about the woman's death in the near future.

Shan Yu is not a stupid person. When he showed up this time, he naturally knew some of the consequences.

Why haven’t you told Nianchan yet?

"Nianchan, Yan Luo asked you to tell him something, why don't you go and take a look?" Shi Qi thought about it again and again and decided to ask.

After all...it might be related to Nianchan's death.

"Ah? Really? Okay, I'll go take a look. Yu, please wait for me." The woman paused and spoke reluctantly.

Seeing the person leave, Shi Qi lowered his eyes and said lightly: "You and her have a really good relationship."

The man's gentleness disappeared instantly, and his expression turned slightly cold: "Yeah."

"Let's not ask about her well-being. What do you know? Or... why did you show up this time? Is it just because you want to see her?" Shi Qi asked directly, causing the man to pause slightly.

"...yes."

Shi Qi raised his eyebrows: "You hesitated."

"..."

"Shan Yu, I don't have so much free time. She is the person you protect, so naturally she is the person I protect as well. You don't have to... be so hostile to me." The woman's voice was light, and it was unknown whether she was warm or cold.

The man seemed to be relenting, but he still refused to give in.

Shi Qi understood: "You came back... because of Meng Nianchan's death."

This is certainty, not doubt.

Sure enough, the man's eyes were filled with turmoil. He clenched his fists and said with some pity, "You know?"

"That's all, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

“After I die, I will be punished for Nian Chan. After thirty reincarnations, I will disappear from the human world. But you know, I am a mortal, and it is not allowed for me to fall in love with her. As a ghost messenger, I cannot escape punishment. It’s not about Yama, but... the inevitable punishment from heaven.” The man said, with some reluctance in his eyes.

"I am a mortal, so I can't protect her. So..."

"So, you escaped and turned into an evil spirit? You want to take the punishment for her?" Shi Qi pursed his lips and spoke.

"Yeah." The man paused and nodded. "It was going to dissipate, so it would be great if I could help her this time." The man always had a smile in his eyes when he mentioned Nianchan.

Shi Qi looked at him with some envy and wished him well from the bottom of his heart.

"Shan Yu, you are too naive. You cannot escape the heaven's punishment. Even if you take it, most of it will be directed to her. In the end... only two people will die." Shi Qi raised his eyes, his expression a little serious.

The man was stunned and his whole body froze: "Then... I will protect her too."

"Forget it, you don't understand. This is a talisman. There will be a divine punishment tomorrow. Remember... put it on her. It can save her life." Shi Qi stood up, looking lazy and indifferent, as if nothing big had happened.

Shan Yu took it and looked at the woman's leaving figure, a little stunned.

She was not a very pretty woman, and even...she looked a little ferocious and scary.

But every gesture reveals his proud nobility and unparalleled indifference.

She is just as good to Nianchan as he is.

At this time, he still didn't know what this talisman meant.

By the time you find out...it's too late.

......

The next day, the sky in the underworld became completely dark.

The sky that was dark in the past was now dyed red like blood.

Meng Nianchan said sullenly, "What kind of weather is this today? It's really bad. Qiqi, do you have time today? Do you want to go to the human world to play together?"

The woman smiled sweetly, not knowing what was going to happen next.

Shi Qi paused and smiled faintly: "No, I have something else to do today. You can go with Shan Yu. By the way, is the whip I left with you still there?"

“Here, do you need it?” the woman said, fumbling to return the item.

Shi Qi smiled and rubbed the woman's head: "No, stay here for now. By the way, Nianchan, I want to take a rest recently. You won't be able to see me during this period."

"Ah? Really? It doesn't matter, it's just a few years, I can wait." The woman responded with a sweet smile.

Several people were smiling and chatting animatedly.

There was only a white shadow in the distance, looking at Shi Qi, eyes full of worry.

After Meng Nianchan and Shan Yu left, Shi Qi looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat relieved.

"This world...it's time to end. I've been here for too long and it's become a bit depressing." Shi Qi sighed slightly, with a smile on his face, and walked towards the depths.

After a long while, Di Liao stopped, looked at the person leaving, and smiled bitterly: "Shi Qi, I still know you very well."

......

Red clouds burned the sky, like a curse.

Meng Nianchan, who was strolling around, felt a pain in her heart and a distinct sense of tearing.

"Hiss, Shan Yu, my chest hurts."

The man looked flustered and at a loss, "Jiaojiao, wait a minute, this is a magic talisman, try it on!"

After a while, Meng Nianchan's complexion returned to normal, but she was still frightened when she recalled the pain just now.

"Huh, strange, this talisman is useful. Which master gave it to you?" Meng Nianchan chuckled.

"Shi Qi gave it to me, saying it can protect you." Shan Yu felt relieved, but then he felt something was wrong.

"Qiqi is really the best person in the world, Shan Yu, you definitely don't know...how good she is. Hehehe, I don't even want to share her goodness with others." The woman's laughter was lively, clear and sweet.

"She actually... has protected me several times. By the way, did she tell you? Why did she suddenly leave to rest? Everything was obviously dealt with..." the woman asked puzzledly.

When Shan Yu heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and the strangeness in his heart became more obvious.

His sight came into contact with the strong light shining directly into the prison, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

"Not good! Jiaojiao, Shi Qi might be... in danger!"

"...!"

......

On the other side, Shi Qi was tied up by invisible chains, just like when he first came to this world.

But this time no one knew about it, and no one in this dungeon saw her miserable appearance, so that’s good.

"Hiss! This damn thing really hurts. Fortunately, it was transferred to me earlier." Shi Qi bit his lips lightly, his forehead covered with sweat.

"Host, why bother? It would be better for you to let Shan Yu do it than to bring the divine punishment upon yourself." Tutu looked at his host and couldn't stop feeling distressed.

"I will leave sooner or later. Besides, Shan Yu will not disappear this time. It is also very good to have someone to accompany Nian Chan... ahem."

The woman coughed and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, it was no longer purple, but... bright red.

The next second, a bolt of lightning struck down with great speed, leaving no place to hide.

The surroundings gradually began to glow red and steam rose, like purgatory.

One after another...non-stop, they hit the woman.

"Hmm...hiss."

Shi Qi only felt that the pain was too obvious, worse than before, and he was really unable to resist it, and gradually... lost consciousness.

In a daze, I faintly heard the sound of the system mission being successful and leaving this world.

When they arrived, they saw the dungeon was in ruins with only a tattered black robe left.

"Qiqi..."

"......!" Shan Yu looked at everything in front of him, feeling horrified.

This woman didn't let him block the divine punishment, but she blocked it herself...did she?

"Shan Yu, take Meng Po back and spend time with her. This is Shi Qi's final blessing to you." A voice came quietly from behind.

A white figure seemed illusory, and the next second, it disappeared into the air.

......

Several major events happened in the underworld. The Black and White Impermanence died one after another; Shan Yu was sealed as a ghost guarding hell; Hades regained his sanity, resumed his throne, and ruled the underworld. His work in the underworld went very smoothly, and his status in the six realms improved a lot.

For most people, there is no difference and life goes on.

But for Meng Nianchan, Shi Qi's death is something she will never be able to get over.

And she had to live a good life with her blessings.

Her talisman saved her life.

And her red devil whip saved her lover's life.

She was thoughtful about everything except herself.

Ten years later, Meng Nianchan sat by the Naihe Bridge with a gentle look on her face. The man next to her was also gentle, and they were a perfect match.

In her spare time, she would lean on the man's shoulder and chuckle, "Shan Yu, how long...will we live? The life of a ghost messenger...is really too long."

“Jiaojiao, wait a little longer, she will show up eventually.” The man chuckled, with some sadness in his eyes.

"No, the ghost messengers of the underworld... disappear after death."

"..."

Later, when a ghost passed by Naihe Bridge, he found that it was an unfamiliar old woman.

Later, Lingyu was reincarnated again and lived a happy and fulfilling life.

Later, that is...the time without Shi Qi.
