Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Instant Face-Slapping 1
Nianyang suddenly stood up from the hot spring, "Tuanzi, what did you say?"
Tuanzi realized it slipped and quickly said, "Nothing, nothing at all."
Nianyang looked seriously at Tuanzi, who was curling into a ball, "Tuanzi, donât try to act cute and fool me, I want the truth. Whatâs this about the destined fate between me and Li Tingyan, that we must become husband and wife in this lifetime?"
Tuanzi said weakly, "Master, these are heavenly secrets that canât be spoken."
Nianyang pursed her lips, suddenly becoming clear about things she had previously ignored. She asked, "Alright, then Iâll ask something else. On the first day of my rebirth when I encountered Li Tingyan, I heard someone speaking in my ear. That was you, wasnât it?"
Tuanzi saw there was no hiding it and had to admit it.
"So just now at the black market, when I was being chased by some hooligans, you told me to run to the left because you knew Li Tingyan was there. Youâve been guiding me to liaise with Li Tingyan from the beginning, why?"
Tuanzi, a fluffy ball shivering in the air, said, "Master, what youâre asking are heavenly secrets that I canât reveal. I can only tell you that in this life, you are destined to be with Li Tingyan. This is your mission for being reborn; no matter how you try to escape, you cannot avoid the arrangement of fate."
Mission?
Nianyang felt like she was realizing something extraordinary and squinted her eyes, asking, "Are you saying that my rebirth wasnât an accident, but was arranged?"
"..."
Tuanzi felt the more it said, the more it would slip, so it curled into a ball and shut down completely!
In an enticing tone, Nianyang said, "Tuanzi, didnât you say that Iâm your master? How can you keep secrets from your master? Iâm not asking you to reveal heavenly secrets, but since you say I must be with Li Tingyan, at least give me a reasonable explanation, or how can I accomplish my mission without distraction?"
After some hesitation, Tuanzi spoke, "Master, the reason you have the chance to be reborn is because in your past life you saved many people. The virtues accumulated opened the Medical Space, selecting you as the 108th Inheritor, allowing your soul to traverse here and gain a second life."
Nianyang understood, "If thatâs the case, why not let me reborn in my own world, and instead make me reborn in the 90s, and I must be with Li Tingyan?"
"Because Li Tingyan lived his entire past life alone, without a lover in this era.
During his life, he often saved some islanders who had drifted out to sea due to his work in maritime transport, and he repeatedly thwarted those who tried to hunt protected marine creatures.
Yet ultimately, due to a failed voyage, he was ambushed and tortured to death by pirates, so your rebirth mission.
is to be with him, to bear children and give him a less troubled life; to help Li Tingyan overcome his misfortune, allowing him an everlasting happiness."
Nianyang, "So his accumulated virtues are for me to bring him warmth? But why not let the original owner of this body do it? Doesnât that mean Iâve taken away the original ownerâs life?"
"Itâs not like that. The original owner of this body had already died in the previous life. Itâs solely due to your virtues that this body could have new life.
Furthermore, the main reason is that you and Li Tingyan have a destined red thread, but because in your past lives, you lived in different eras and couldnât be together, causing both of you to remain without partners in the past life. This lifetime, heaven arranged you to meet in this era."
Nianyang took a whole half-hour to slowly digest Tuanziâs words, and at this moment, she didnât know what kind of expression to put on.
She had thought that after being reborn, she could lay down her burdens, avoid worldly affairs, and live a carefree life.
But since itâs all the arrangement of destiny, she has to accept it calmly.
Putting aside Li Tingyanâs identity, being with him isnât bad either. At least he didnât have a lover in the previous life, avoiding the feeling of snatching someone elseâs destined partner if she were to be with another man in the future.
