Chapter 85: Chapter 87 Salvation Rite
Chapter Eighty-Seven
When Long Xiaoshan found Wang Feng, weighing the pros and cons.
Wang Feng's face changed too.
He knew that this day was bound to come.
The past half month, reuniting with his family, was already a bonus for him.
At that time, he and Long Xiaoshan had agreed that after seeing his family, he would reincarnate.
Now, the time had come to fulfill that promise.
"Wang Feng, I'm not forcing you, but ghosts cannot coexist with the living. Besides, even if you want to continue living with Aunt Liu and Wang Yan, it's not possible. The ghost body will affect them. It may not be evident in the short term, but in the long run, the erosion of the Yin energy will harm them. So, when it's time to let go, you must let go," Long Xiaoshan persuaded.
"Yes, I understand," Wang Feng sighed deeply, calming down as he said, "I'll go and explain it to them."
"Good! Go on,"
Long Xiaoshan nodded.
Long Xiaoshan didn't know how Wang Feng explained it to Liu Yufeng and Wang Yan.
But when he saw the mother and daughter later, both of their eyes were red and swollen.
That evening, at the Wang family villa.
After Zhao Jun returned the shares, the villa also came back into the hands of the Wang family.
In the backyard of the villa.
Long Xiaoshan used some stones to build a circle in the backyard, with a piece of jade in each of the four directions to suppress it.
Having received some inheritance from Black Scale Gate through Jia Laodao, naturally, it included rituals for the Salvation Rite of lost souls.
So he set up according to those instructions.
After doing all this, he went in to notify Wang Feng's family. After a while, Wang Feng, Liu Yufeng, and Wang Yan came out.
Seeing the Salvation Rite formation on the ground.
Wang Yan burst into tears, throwing herself at Long Xiaoshan, kneeling down and pleading, "Brother Xiaoshan, please don't make my dad leave. I don't want him to go."
"Little Yan,"
Long Xiaoshan quickly pulled her up, saying, "Little Yan, life and death are predestined, and your father no longer belongs to the world of the living."
"I don't want that, I don't want that," Wang Yan sobbed, shaking her head.
Long Xiaoshan, helpless, looked towards Liu Yufeng and Wang Feng.
Liu Yufeng wiped her tears, stepping forward and saying, "Little Yan, your dad is about to be reincarnated. Don't you think it's too selfish to wish for him to live in eternal darkness, hiding in a piece of wood during the day, only able to come out at night?"
Upon hearing Liu Yufeng's words, Wang Yan was startled and lifted her head.
She stopped her crying and slowly stood up.
Looking at Wang Feng, she said with a trembling voice, "Daddy."
Wang Feng's soul drifted over, looking at Wang Yan with equally moved emotion and said, "Little Yan, don't cry. Being your father for seventeen years is my proudest achievement in this lifetime."
"Me too, Daddy. In the next life, I still want to be your daughter," Wang Yan said through tears.
Long Xiaoshan listened, his own eyes stinging with emotion.
He remained silent, standing to the side, allowing them their final familial exchange.
Another two hours passed.
Long Xiaoshan looked at the time and said, "Wang Feng, it's almost Midnight Hour."
Wang Feng's ghost body shook, and after taking one last deep look at Liu Yufeng and her daughter, he turned and floated into the center of the formation.
Long Xiaoshan started chanting the incantations, wielding the Peach Wood Sword as he performed the rite.
As the ritual progressed, a wind began to rise around them, and above Wang Feng, a black portal slowly formed. Wang Feng's body gradually drifted toward that portal.
Just as Wang Feng's soul was about to enter the portal,
Wang Yan couldn't help but rush forward, shouting, "Daddy!"
But she was held back by Liu Yufeng, who hugged her tightly.
Wang Feng looked down, seemingly with deep reluctance, looked one last time at Liu Yufeng and her daughter, his lips moved as if he were saying goodbye, and then he was sucked into the black portal, disappearing.
After Wang Feng had vanished, the black portal slowly dissipated.
Long Xiaoshan slowly lowered the Peach Wood Sword.

At that moment, the winds also stopped, and the surroundings returned to the previous night's stillness, as if nothing had happened.
But Wang Feng had completely vanished, entering the cycle of reincarnation.
Because of the Salvation Rite for Wang Feng's soul.
Quite a few merits flowed in once again.
However, Long Xiaoshan felt quite complicated at that time and didn't feel joyful.
He then dismantled the Salvation Rite formation.
Approaching Wang Yan, who was still crying, he patted her shoulder and nodded towards Liu Yufeng before entering the house.
The next day.
When Long Xiaoshan came out from his room, he saw only Liu Yufeng outside, preparing breakfast.
"Xiaoshan, come eat something," Liu Yufeng seemed to have recovered and called out to Long Xiaoshan.
Long Xiaoshan sat down, began eating, and asked, "Where's little Yan?"
"Still in her room," Liu Yufeng said with a sigh, "Xiaoshan, don't blame her, she was very close to her dad."
"How could I possibly blame her?"
Long Xiaoshan said, "Aunt Liu, now that things here are settled, I should head back to the village first."
"Ah! You're going back?" Liu Yufeng promptly came to her senses and then remarked, "That's true, you've been here for quite a few days."
Even though she said so, with Wang Feng gone and now Long Xiaoshan leaving,
Liu Yufeng indeed felt a bit lost.
But Long Xiaoshan returning was normal; he couldn't possibly live here forever.
Liu Yufeng quickly adjusted and said, "That's okay, Niu Y County is nearby anyway, I can also come to visit you when I'm free."
"Sure, you're most welcome," said Long Xiaoshan.
At that moment, the door was pushed open with a snap.
Wang Yan also came out, her eyes swollen as she looked at Long Xiaoshan, "Brother Xiaoshan, are you leaving?"
"Yes, I'm heading home."
"Brother Xiaoshan, you're leaving me too," Wang Yan's tears started flowing.
Long Xiaoshan scratched his head, quickly went up to comfort the girl, "I have things to do at home, I can come back to see you later."
Seeing Wang Yan just crying.
Long Xiaoshan thought that she was still young after all, not as enduring as adults, so he said, "Otherwise, you can come and stay with me for a few days. School is still a few days away, I'll ask my sister to come back too, and you can play together, you're about the same age."
Wang Yan stopped her tears, looking at Long Xiaoshan, "Really?"
"What's there to lie about, go ask your mom."
Wang Yan then looked at Liu Yufeng with a pitiful expression.
Liu Yufeng understood her daughter's mood and said, "Go on, it'll be good to get your mind off things."
"Thanks, mom, why don't you come and have fun too?"
"I can't, I'm still busy with company work, and now we're preparing to launch a new product," Liu Yufeng explained.
"Then I'll go by myself."
Not long after breakfast, Long Xiaoshan drove his pickup truck, taking Wang Yan towards Niu Y County.
After more than an hour.
Long Xiaoshan entered the mountains.
Wang Yan, jostled by the mountain road, nearly threw up and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, why do you live in these mountains?"
In her mind, someone as capable as Long Xiaoshan must live in a very nice place.
"Haha, I've always lived in the mountains, so don't complain when we get there," Long Xiaoshan said with a laugh.
"I'm not afraid at all."
After half an hour of a bumpy ride, the pickup truck finally returned to Longyang Village.
