Lin Yan's words left Luo Fan with no room to retort; such a relationship was not ordinary.
"Right, I've changed my surname now. I'm using my mother's surname, Jiang An. I think Mother would like this name too." Whether it was Fan or An, their parents' hopes for them, brother and sister, were always for peace and a happy life.
Now that his sister's revenge was complete, he wanted to live on, for her sake, in peace.
"Hello, Jiang An!" Lin Yan extended her hand in greeting.
"Hello, Lin Yan." He smiled.
A month later, the Yin messenger reappeared before Lin Yan with Luo Sheng.
"Good benefactor Lin, the spirit Luo Sheng's revenge has concluded. The Underworld has arranged for her reincarnation. Would you like to review the details?" The Yin messenger handed a booklet to Lin Yan.
"Thank you." Lin Yan took the booklet and glanced at Luo Sheng, who had arrived with them.
Luo Sheng was now wearing a clean, white dress, appearing spotless and serene. The past malevolence and pain seemed to have vanished, replaced by a faint smile. When she saw Lin Yan, her eyes shone with joy.
As Lin Yan was speaking with the Yin messenger, she didn't approach to disturb them, merely standing quietly to the side. Lin Yan was pleased with her current demeanor. She opened the booklet, which recorded Luo Sheng's life and her fate in the next life.
Lin Yan did not occupy an existing reincarnation slot for Luo Sheng. Instead, she chose a stillborn. She had also conveyed her requests to the Underworld. The reincarnation slot arranged for Luo Sheng was for a child who was originally meant to die with her parents in a car accident, thus never having the chance to be born. If Luo Sheng reincarnated into this vessel, it would alter the child's destiny. The change in one person's fate would affect many, especially since this child was not meant to exist. However, the Underworld had granted her this favor, seemingly aware of the impending doom of this small world. It was better to alter some fates than to have the world collapse and everyone perish.
"Very good." Lin Yan closed the booklet and returned it. "May I bring someone to observe the reincarnation later?"
"If benefactor Lin wishes to observe, you are most welcome," the Yin messenger replied, aware of Lin Yan's abilities. He wondered where this benefactor Lin had learned her arts, given that this world had long entered the Age of Dharma Decline. The lineages of cultivation had been severed. Only newly born children could still perceive some things; everyone else believed in materialism.
"Then it's settled." Lin Yan then offered two pouches. The Yin messenger hesitated, but the faint golden aura emanating from the pouches made refusal impossible. After leaving Luo Sheng behind, they departed with the pouches.
"Lin Yan, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to exact my revenge personally."
"You and your brother are truly siblings. I don't need your thanks; it was just a small effort for me."
"Even if it was a small effort, it's a monumental grace to me," Luo Sheng stated firmly.
"Alright, I'll give you some talismans. Go spend some time with your brother and have a good chat. You didn't have much time to talk before, and soon you'll be reincarnating, losing all memories of this life for a new beginning."
"Thank…"
"No more thanks," Lin Yan said, taking out some talismans from her system inventory and handing them over. "Your brother has been very worried about you. Go find him quickly." Luo Sheng took the talismans and left.
Once Luo Sheng reincarnated, her task would be complete. The main system had agreed that they could return to her world together. The thought of seeing Ming Hao made her impatient. Time passed slowly in anticipation, but it eventually arrived for Luo Sheng's reincarnation.
During this period, Lin Yan informed Jiang An about Luo Sheng's identity in this life.
"Can't we save her parents in this life too?" Jiang An asked after hearing Lin Yan's explanation of Luo Sheng's current life. His sister had suffered too much in this life; he wished for her to have both parents and live a happy, peaceful life, even if he couldn't be close to her.
"Even if she evades this, there will be another time," Lin Yan said, not elaborating further.
Lin Yan led Jiang An to the hospital. When they arrived, the hospital was still calm. Not long after their arrival, the wail of ambulance sirens grew closer and entered the hospital gates. Everyone became busy. Lin Yan used her spiritual energy to obscure their presence. Although everyone was occupied, she still didn't want anyone to notice their anomaly. A pregnant woman, covered in blood, was brought out of the ambulance.
"That's Luo Sheng's mother in this life. You can help pay for her medical expenses later, handle the aftermath, and then take her away. This will also settle the debt of gratitude."
"I'll go now."
Lin Yan stood there, watching as Jiang An blended into the crowd, identified the pregnant woman on the hospital bed, paid for her, and waited outside the operating room. With Lin Yan's magic in his eyes, he personally witnessed the ghost messenger delivering his sister's soul into the ward. Then, a baby's cry was heard. His sister had returned to the human world, and to his side, once again. Lin Yan did not participate in the subsequent events. She trusted that Jiang An would protect this hard-won sister well in this life, ensuring her smooth journey.
"Mission complete, congratulations host!" The system's voice was filled with joy. "Host, do you wish to continue your life or return to reality?"
"Let's go back directly. It feels like I haven't been back in many years. Oh, System, please perform an emotional dilution for me. Deduct the points as you see fit."
"Understood, host," the System replied readily.
Lin Yan had the System check on Jiang An and his sister one last time, finding their situation to be even more warm and happy than she had imagined. She prepared to leave. Jiang An was now a wonderful "nurturing brother," and Luo Sheng would likely live an even happier life.
"Host, prepare yourself, we are returning." This was the first time Lin Yan had left a mission world without living out her entire life. She didn't know what preparations were needed, so she simply leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest. The next moment, her eyes opened again, but she was no longer Lin Yan. The original inhabitant of this world had regained control of her body. Subsequently, all memories related to the villa vanished from the minds of those who knew about it.
Jiang An's memories did not disappear. He watched his sister, full and burping bubbles, feeling a profound sense of peace. No matter who she was, she had saved him and his sister. If given the chance, he would definitely repay her.
