The black figure looked at the old man, then at Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan. His expression was a bit anxious.
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan walked over and stood in front of the black figure.
“You must be the deceased son of that grandfather?” Lu Sheng asked.
The black figure glanced at Chu Sihan and nodded nervously.
“You lost your life because you saved someone. Why are you still wandering around in the human world?”
For these people with merit, the Netherworld would usually arrange for them to be reborn first. It had been a year. Why was this hero still in the human world?
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to leave, but I can’t let go of my father and wife.”
After speaking, the black figure gradually transformed into a fireman.
He looked like he was in his late twenties. He was exceptionally young.
“What’s your name?” Lu Sheng asked.
“My name is Wang Jian.”
Chu Sihan looked at him and said in a low voice, “You can’t follow them all the time. Although you have no malicious intent, your approach is also a form of invisible harm to them.”
“Harm?” Wang Jian was stunned. “I didn’t do anything!”
He only wanted to protect them silently in his own way!
“You have already become a soul. The Yin energy in your soul is too strong. If you get close to them, it will affect their health.”
Lu Sheng reminded him kindly, “Didn’t you feel that their spirits were getting worse after you followed them?”
Wang Jian remembered that his wife and child often caught a cold recently. As for his father, he would rub his temples from time to time. Wang Jian could not help but purse his lips.
Could it be that it was actually a wrong choice for him to stay?
However, he could not bear to part with his father, lover, and child!
If he entered the cycle of reincarnation, how could he still see them?
Lu Sheng persuaded, “The karma in this world has long been predestined. This is your fate. No matter how reluctant you are, you have to accept it!”
“Sigh—”
Wang Jian sighed faintly. “I stayed only to protect them. However, if my stay troubles them, there’s no need for me to stay anymore.”
If good intentions harmed his family instead, he would give up these good intentions.
Lu Sheng smiled. “It’s best that you can think it through. I hope you’ll still be family in the next lifetime.”
“Thank you for your blessings!”
Wang Jian smiled and looked gloomily in the direction where the old man and child left. Then, he turned around and left silently.

“Where did you go to buy ingredients? Why did you take so long?”
When Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng returned to the Lu family, it was already past one.
When Elder Sen saw the duo enter, he hurriedly complained softly.
“We encountered something and were delayed.”
Lu Sheng carried the ingredients into the kitchen and hurried Chu Sihan to wash the pots.
When they were ready to eat the hotpot, it was already two in the afternoon.
The four of them surrounded the table and ate their fill. Ye Luo ate the most.
He burped and said in satisfaction, “I thought that the hotpot at the Lu family’s restaurant was already a delicacy in the human world. I didn’t expect it to be nothing compared to the hotpot here.”
“The conditions were limited,” Lu Sheng said. “We can only brew the soup there, but there are ready-made hotpot bases and ingredients here. They can’t compare.”
“That’s true!”
Just now, when Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng went out to buy ingredients, Ye Luo asked Elder Sen to bring him around the house and introduce the appliances in the house.
Elder Sen even patiently told him how to use them. It had to be said that compared to when he was in Xuan Yue Country, it was indeed much more convenient here.
Even fruits and snacks were of various types.. Living here was simply better than being an immortal.
