Chapter 90: This Life’s Bond, Closed Today

The sudden laughter drew everyone’s attention.

Su Ling quickly clamped her mouth shut.

But looking at that Black Impermanence, a small dark-skinned loli with the voice of a mature woman, ‘She must be diagnosed with clinical depression if she can keep a straight face like that.’

“What is it?”

Black Impermanence narrowed her eyes.

‘Why does it feel like this girl has been provoking me this whole time?’

“It’s nothing, nothing at all, just thought of something funny,” Su Ling explained hurriedly.

Black and White Impermanence stared at her coldly, making Su Ling break into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, they did not make any other moves.

“You’re saying she’s a witness?”

“Of course, this lovely video of them as a couple was filmed by her, you know~”

Hu Mei winked at Su Ling.

Su Ling had no choice but to nod, steeling herself.

“If that is the case, then we understand.”

“Follow us back to Fengdu, King of Wheel-Turning will decide your destination.”

White mist billowed from White Impermanence, turning into white chains that hooked Adela’s soul out.

Adela’s true soul finally appeared before everyone.

She had not lied; she was indeed a very mature-looking big sister.

Adela looked at Tao Tao, who was lowering her head in silence, her eyes complex.

She sighed and prepared to leave with the Impermanence.

However, at that moment, Tao Tao suddenly grabbed her.

“Actually… your novel isn’t that hard to read…”

She was one of the readers who followed Adela’s novel daily.

She even created several alternative accounts just to leave positive reviews for Adela.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent her time ranting for 10,000 comments on the final chapter of Adela’s book.

Adela was clearly surprised that Tao Tao would say this.

“Then you said…”

“That day, I wasn’t in a very good mood, and you killed off my favorite character.”

That was why she had ranted for 10,000 comments.

Adela pressed her lips together.

She had thought nobody would like the character she wrote.

She recalled the content of the final chapter: an annoying brat who liked to tease the protagonist.

Most of her few readers disliked the character and left comments demanding she be written out.

To cater to the majority, she had changed her outline and abruptly killed off the brat.

But she had ignored one point.

If there are those who hate, there are those who love.

At the very least, she shouldn’t have let that character exit the story so carelessly.

“I’m sorry… I…”

Tao Tao hung her head, her shoulders trembling.

Over the past month, Adela had tormented her as the Cyber-Brats Virus.

She had felt anger, despair, and even murderous intent, but she never felt lonely.

Her original life was a routine triangle: school, tricycle, dormitory.

No one to accompany her, no one to talk to.

But by coincidence, Adela had forced her way into her life and turned her stagnant existence upside down.

Now, she had finally fulfilled her wish, and Adela was about to step into the cycle of reincarnation, allowing her life to return to normal.

Yet, her heart ached terribly at this moment.

“…”

Adela stroked Tao Tao’s small face.

Under the special Star Nebula Body of the Black and White Impermanence in the Third Universe, her soul could touch physical objects.

She opened her mouth but didn’t say a word.

This past month had been chaotic; she spent every day calculating how to torment Tao Tao, yet she had inadvertently started to care for her.

“Goodbye. If it’s meant to be, we will meet again in the next life…”

Adela’s eyes dimmed.

Clatter!

The chains made a crisp sound.

It was time to go.

Su Ling watched all this, filled with emotion.

Whether they were a couple or not didn’t matter anymore.

But these two Impermanence ladies were truly kind.

Whatever about the couple status, anyone could see it was just an excuse.

Yet the other party had still given Adela time to say goodbye.

It’s just…

Su Ling watched the Black Impermanence, who was trying so hard to act mature, and had to hold back her laughter.

‘Shut up, hold it in!’

‘She has been provoking me.’

Black Impermanence glared at Su Ling.

‘Why does it feel like this person can actually see us?’

‘But that shouldn’t be possible. She’s clearly just an ordinary witch, and her eyes don’t look like dual-colored eyes. How could she see us?’

—

“This life’s bond, closed today. The dead return to the cycle; the living must stand back.”

White Impermanence’s cold voice resonated.

Ahead, a pitch-black Space Rift slowly opened.

Su Ling could vaguely see the profound scenes within.

The Third Universe.

The Underworld.

Adela took one last long look at Tao Tao, then followed the Black and White Impermanence into the Space Rift.

Black and white smoke intertwined and rolled.

A piercing chill swept past, and the rift closed completely.

Tao Tao stared blankly at the place where they had disappeared, feeling hollow inside.

“Tsk, what a pair of star-crossed lovers.”

Hu Mei loved to watch the drama.

At this moment, Su Ling shivered.

She almost forgot about the Student Council.

She immediately went on full alert.

“Relax, I told you I wouldn’t blackmail you. You can go now, though we aren’t reimbursing your travel expenses~” Hu Mei chuckled.

Now that she had bigger entertainment, she was no longer interested in Su Ling and Tao Tao.

Just as she said, Hu Mei left with the remaining Student Council members, humming a little tune.

Su Ling confirmed they were really gone and finally let out a slow sigh of relief.

“Do you want to walk together?”

She looked at Tao Tao.

The little loli looked like a wilted apple, completely listless.

“I… I want to be alone for a bit.”

Tao Tao shook her head, her tone filled with melancholy.

Su Ling scratched her head, not knowing how to comfort her.

“Oh my, cheer up. Think about it, you’re in your twenties, right? Even an ordinary witch lives for several hundred years. If you really miss her, just wait for her; you’ll catch up with her in, at most, 50 years.”

At least wait for Adela to grow up.

“But the Star Nebula is so vast, how is that possible…”

Tao Tao watched the starry sky, her eyes confused.

“Hehe, it seems you really have fallen for her.”

“Ah, I…”

Realizing she had exposed herself, Tao Tao became flustered.

Su Ling, however, wore a mischievous smile.

“If you’re meant to be, there’s no need to search for her; destiny will automatically make you meet again.”

“But you should keep an eye on the lolis around you if you really want to find her.” Su Ling stroked her chin, thoughtful.

“Eh? Why?”

“She said it herself, right? The probability of her joining the Loli Path is high, so keep watch and you won’t go wrong.”

Su Ling patted Tao Tao on the shoulder with a grin.

Having a cycle of reincarnation is not bad at all.

A bond from the past life that wasn’t broken might just be continued in this one.

Even if memories were lost.

As she thought about it, Su Ling found a business opportunity.

Hey, should I become a ‘Red String Fairy’ and specifically do the business of continuing reincarnated love?

That’s a huge business opportunity.

As Su Ling thought this, she searched for it.

Alright, that thing is illegal.

As expected, the ways to make money are all written in the criminal law.

“Cheer up, at least you’re free now.”

Su Ling’s guidance seemed quite effective, and Tao Tao felt much better.

“Phew, thank you, I feel much better.”

Although Tao Tao said she wanted to be alone, they were heading the same way.

Su Ling and Tao Tao talked while walking, and soon their booked ride arrived.

But just then, Su Yao sent a message saying she was hungry and wanted some small cakes.

What a little glutton.

Su Ling shook her head and temporarily parted ways with Tao Tao.

“See you tomorrow.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

Watching the tricycle take off, Su Ling opened her map and walked toward a nearby cake shop that was still open.

What she didn’t notice was that behind her, a figure like a ghost had been watching her the whole time.
