Xia Die and Bai Yuan went inside together.
Upon seeing the approaching butterfly, the deceased's family members quickly made way for it.
Bai Yuan discovered that the deceased's family member was actually an auntie he knew who bought groceries.
"Aunt Bona," Bai Yuan greeted the woman.
Aunt Bonna nodded sadly.
Bai Yuan's heart sank.
He remembered someone saying that Aunt Bonna worked very hard selling vegetables so she could pay for her seriously ill daughter's treatment. Now that Xia Die had come to her house, could it be...?
Subsequent events confirmed Bai Yuan's terrifying suspicions.
Lying on the bed was a little girl with a very pale face. She had almost no flesh on her body. She lay on the bed with no color in her face, and her breathing was intermittent. She was clearly at the end of her life.
"me……"
She called out softly.
“Annie.” Bonna quickly grabbed her daughter’s hand.
Bai Yuan and Xia Die were deeply saddened by what they saw. To leave at such a young age was an extremely sorrowful thing for anyone who witnessed it.
As if in a final burst of energy, a sliver of color returned to Anne's face, and she spoke softly to her mother:
"Mom, I feel so light."
Aunt Bona started crying.
"Don't cry, Mom." Annie tried to reach out and wipe away her mother's tears, but she found she didn't have the strength to lift her arm.
She forced a smile to comfort her mother: "After so many years of pain, I'm finally free now. Mom, I feel so much better."
She continued to look at Xia Die and Bai Yuan.
"Am I going to the underworld? Are you here to take me there?"
Xia Die nodded silently.
Seeing their reaction, Annie's smile grew even brighter.
"With such beautiful older brothers and sisters as you, even the underworld would feel beautiful."
Aunt Bonna held back her tears and gave Anne a look of approval.
Bai Yuan stepped forward and said to her, "Yes, you're right, the Underworld is indeed a beautiful place. There, it's a sea of flowers, and you can run freely and touch the flowers when you get there."
Xia Die and Bona both thought that Bai Yuan was comforting Annie, but Bai Yuan knew that he was telling the truth.
The underworld of Onphalus is indeed that beautiful.
“Yes, brother, you’re handsome, so what you’re saying must be right. The underworld must be a place filled with seas of flowers.” Annie nodded vigorously.
Bai Yuan gently stroked her dry hair.
"Remember, once you arrive in the underworld, even if you don't see a sea of flowers immediately, as long as you keep moving forward, you will definitely reach the other side of that flower field."
Bai Yuan now feels that obtaining the spark of the Death Titan is not only related to him and Xia Die, but also to many people and souls in Onfaros.
"Uh-huh."
Anne nodded repeatedly.
Then, her life force was finally exhausted, and she slowly collapsed, her eyes gradually closing.
As her last bit of strength left her, Xia Die held her hand and helped her finish her life.
Aunt Bona burst into tears.
Amidst the cries, Xia Die began to perform the duties of an embalmer. These were professional tasks, beyond Bai Yuan's ability to interfere; he could only watch Xia Die's actions from the sidelines.
After Xia Die finished doing all this, Bai Yuan and Xia Die said goodbye to Aunt Bona.
My condolences, Aunt Bonna.
"Yes." Aunt Bonna nodded, then said gratefully, "Thank you, Lady Xia Die, thank you, Bai Yuan. Especially Bai Yuan, you made sure Annie could leave happily in the end. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
"Don't thank me yet, please get some rest and don't overwork yourself."
Bai Yue/Yi O Yi Lin Ba Si Qi Wu Yuan quickly said.
He had seen clearly that Annie had no bedsores or anything like that, indicating she was being well taken care of. Aunt Bonna was a single mother who spent long hours selling vegetables every day and then took care of her daughter afterward; clearly, the effort she put in was immense.
"Ah."
After offering a few more words of comfort, Bai Yuan and Xia Die left.
After leaving, Xia Die looked at Bai Yuan and said softly, "Bai Yuan, you did very well just now, even better than me."
In her thousand years of life, she had witnessed countless deaths and comings. Looking at Anne's death, she felt sorrow, but didn't know how to express it.
Bai Yuan didn't know how to say anything comforting, so he simply reached out and held her hand tightly.
Their fingers intertwined, and Bai Yuan's warm body temperature was transferred to Xia Die's hand.
They then went to the second family that needed a mortician.
The second family was completely different from Aunt Bonna's. The person about to pass away was an elderly man who was nearly 100 years old. At this moment, he was in a state of lucidity before death, and his spirit was even better than that of an average elderly person.
When Bai Yuan and Xia Die were taken there by their families, he was still drinking and eating meat, looking completely at ease.
Looking at Xia Die, he quickly greeted her, "I'll be troubling you with your care later, Lady Xia Die."
"Yes, Mr. Sang, I'll take care of everything later."
Xiadie nodded slightly.
Hearing Xia Die's words, Sang Weng's smile became even more carefree. He picked up his wine cup and gulped down a large glass of wine, though his gaze remained fixed on Xia Die.
"Then, Lady Xiadie, could you tell me what the underworld is like after death?"
His hands were still trembling slightly, clearly showing that he was also concerned about the last things in his life.
"It's very beautiful. The underworld is a sea of flowers, and you can walk around freely in it."
Xia Die recalled Bai Yuan's words and answered Sang Weng.
Hearing Xia Die say this, Sang Weng's expression relaxed, and a smile returned to his lips. Then, under the watchful eyes of Bai Yuan, Xia Die, and Sang Weng's children, he suddenly breathed his last.
Chapter 87 When the time comes, we'll kick down Polycia's door! [4k, Second Update]
Xia Die and Bai Yuan worked together to handle several cases of the deaths of Ohmers.
After seeing off the last middle-aged man who had passed away due to illness, Xia Die clapped her hands and said to Bai Yuan:
"Alright, we've finished our work. Where would you like to go next? If there's nothing you'd like to go, how about we go back and rest?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the pastry shop on the side, intending to buy some desserts for Bai Yuan.
Having experienced so much life and death separations today, Bai Yuan must be feeling terrible. A little dessert would be a good way to cheer him up.
"Um, Sister Xia Die, I still want to go to Xuanfeng City," Bai Yuan said, taking Xia Die's hand.
"Going to Suspended Peak City? Okay."
Xia Die knew that although Bai Yuan had run away in Xuanfeng City, he was still worried about that place and wanted to go and check on him.
"By the way, Sister Xiadie, could you find me two cloaks? Let's hide ourselves when we go over there."
Bai Yuan didn't want to be seen by the warriors of Xuanfeng City, and then be escorted into the city. Finally, Kratrus brought over a yellow robe and said to him, "It's cold, sir, please put on another robe."
He doesn't want to do it!
"Okay." Xia Die nodded.
Xia Die then found two cloaks to cover herself and Bai Yuan's figures.
As long as we don't get caught, it's fine.
Bai Yuan and Xia Die quietly left Ohema City and headed towards Xuanfeng City.
Outside Suspended Peak City, many tribes had already begun to relocate there. Many Ohmans, simply intending to watch the spectacle, also headed towards Suspended Peak City.
As they walked, Bai Yuan and Xia Die looked around with some curiosity at a tall humanoid figure wearing a bamboo hat who was also heading towards Xuanfeng City.
The people over there didn't seem to expect that there was someone here wearing a cloak to cover their body.
The three people stared at each other for a while, then moved closer together.
Bai Yuan leaned closer for a look and immediately burst out laughing. Sure enough, among those hiding their true intentions in Xuanfeng City, only he and Wan Di would do something like this.
Upon hearing Bai Yuan's laughter, Wan Di's expression became somewhat embarrassed.
Wan Di said irritably, "What are you doing here? And why are you all covering yourselves up too?"
"Of course it's the same as yours."
Upon hearing Bai Yuan's tone, Wan Di snorted and walked forward without paying him any attention.
After taking only a few steps, Bai Yuan called out to Wan Di.
"Brother Wan Di, wait a minute, I need to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?" Although his tone was still harsh, Wan Di stopped in his tracks.
"Yes, do you have any snacks or anything? I worked as an embalmer with Sister Xia Die all day today, and I'm a little hungry now."
Ask me for some snacks: Er (two) Chao! Wan Di couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Then he took out two pastries.
"There are only two pieces. You two each take one piece."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Wan Di." Bai Yuan thanked Wan Di, then took two pastries to Xia Die's side and handed one of them to her as if presenting a treasure.
"Sister Xia Die, come here, are you hungry?"
Hearing Bai Yuan and Wan Di's conversation, Xia Die suppressed a laugh. Seeing Bai Yuan hand her the pastries, she quickly took them and tasted them.
"This tastes really good."
Xia Die nodded in praise.
Wan Di's culinary skills are undoubtedly impeccable.
Bai Yuan and Xia Die finished their snacks in a few bites. At this moment, Bai Yuan looked up and found that Wan Di was still there, waiting for Bai Yuan and Xia Die.
Bai Yuan and Xia Die exchanged a glance and quickly followed Wan Di.
……
The three of them were undoubtedly skilled, and they entered Suspended Peak City without being detected by anyone.
Outside Suspended Peak City, they also saw the Thasos people who had been rescued by Bai Yuan. They were the last to arrive in Ohmar and naturally had no connection with the city. Now that Suspended Peak City had been brought here by their savior, they were sure they would move there.
They were a tribe that worshipped the Earth Titans, and their farming skills were superb. With the mushroom cultivation techniques that Bai Yuan had found, they began to organize everything in an orderly manner as soon as they arrived at Xuanfeng City.
They even went so far as to help other tribes cultivate the land and pass on their farming experience.
Bai Yuan, Xia Die, and Wan Di were delighted to see this outcome.
"Our efforts have paid off," Wan Di said softly.
It wasn't in vain that he spent so much effort, running so many laps around the River Styx, just to find food suitable for them.
He was happy not only that the Thassos were able to survive, but also that they had learned to help others, just like what Shiromoto had done back then.
Bai Yuan said from the side, "As long as we unite, we can always defeat all our enemies."
The three of them watched for a while longer, but showed no sign of appearing. Bai Yuan and Wan Di had too high a reputation among the Thassos people; their appearance would only disrupt their planting and production.
They quickly entered Suspended Peak City. Of course, they didn't go through the main gate. Suspended Peak City was mostly ruins at the moment, so it was easy to sneak in through a gap.
Inside Suspended Peak City, Bai Yuan and his companions saw Kratrus leading the Suspended Peak warriors in rebuilding the houses. In order to settle down here permanently, they prioritized constructing housing.
In just a few days, they had built a decent-looking structure here, at least enough to avoid camping in the open air. At the same time, they saw a group of people heading out of Suspended Peak City, demarcating land and establishing rules and regulations for the people cultivating the land below Suspended Peak City.
There are also patrol personnel. The current defenses of Suspended Peak City are not very strong, so Suspended Peak warriors need to patrol more frequently. And Kratrus has done an excellent job with the patrol routes and organization. Unless you're an unreasonable powerhouse like Bai Yuan Wan Di, it's impossible to infiltrate their ranks.
Clatrus handled all the other miscellaneous and trivial matters perfectly.
Bai Yuan and Wan Di nodded slightly upon seeing this.
“Teacher is much better at this than I am,” Wan Di said softly.
“That’s even better than me,” Bai Yuan interjected.
