Chapter 319 143: Reborn as a Human for the Third Time

Seeing Bai Ling so heartbroken, Xu Lei couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.

He felt his affection for her hadn't been in vain.

But he also felt a little worried for Bai Ling.

After all, having gone through such an ordeal, he didn't know what kind of impact it would have on her psyche.

'I suppose she must hate those two Enchantresses now.'

'But on second thought, that might be a good thing. This way, she'll probably be more motivated in her Cultivation.'

With her talent, as long as she was diligent and enterprising, she still had a good chance of attaining the Dao.

The only thing Xu Lei worried about was whether Bodhisattva Guan Yun would target Bai Ling.

But after watching for a long time, he didn't see Bodhisattva Guan Yun appear at all.

It made Xu Lei wonder, 'Am I just overthinking this?'

To see whether or not Bodhisattva Guan Yun would appear,

Xu Lei stayed inside the Ten Thousand Lives Book for quite a long time.

He watched as Bai Ling took his body away and buried it.

"Master, Ling'er swears!"

Kneeling before Xu Lei's tombstone, Bai Ling vowed, "I will definitely succeed in my Cultivation!

I will slay those two Enchantresses and avenge you!

And what's more, just you wait for Ling'er!

After Ling'er attains the Dao, if I can possess the power of the Ancient Immortals and Buddhas of old!

I will surely turn back the heavens, reverse time, and bring you back!

As long as you have not returned, Ling'er will not rest for a single day!"

Such a thing was already the stuff of legends within legends.

In the current era, no one could do it.

Let alone Bai Ling.

Even Guan Yun, Xu Lei felt, couldn't do it.

But at this moment, Bai Ling seemed completely serious.

'She won't become obsessed with this, will she?'

Xu Lei couldn't help but worry upon seeing this. 'I saved her because I hoped she could live freely.

I don't want her to be burdened by me, living her life in gloom.'

But at this moment, Xu Lei had no way of transmitting his voice out of the Ten Thousand Lives Book.

After that, he watched Bai Ling leave.

Xu Lei continued to wait.

He waited for a full three more days.

Bodhisattva Guan Yun never appeared.

Xu Lei officially began his reincarnation.

BUZZ!

The Ten Thousand Lives Book blossomed with light.

And Xu Lei's consciousness gradually drifted off to sleep.

By the time Xu Lei was conscious again, another thirty years had passed.

The interval between reincarnations was about the same as the last time.

This time, Xu Lei was in a woman's belly.

'I wonder what my status will be in this life?'

Just then, a voice came from outside the womb.

"Madam, here are the ledgers!"

It was a middle-aged male servant. He said, "They're all here!"

"Good, let me see."

Xu Lei's mother said, "You may go."

The male servant respectfully withdrew.

The voice of Xu Lei's mother in this life didn't have a girlish quality to it.

Because she was already around her late twenties or early thirties.

This surprised Xu Lei a little.

In a world with an ancient setting like this, it was still relatively rare for someone to marry and have children at this age.

'But it's also possible I already have several older siblings.'

He wasn't sure yet.

It was still in the realm of speculation.

Then, Xu Lei's mother began to seriously look through the ledgers.

"Welcome."

"Sir."

"This is our new model of carriage. Would you like to take it for a test ride?"

At the same time, the voices of other servants could be heard.

Only then did Xu Lei realize he was in a carriage dealership.

'This is the equivalent of a car dealership on Earth.'

Except here, they didn't sell cars, but various types of carriages.

"Congratulations, Shopkeeper! I hear your esteemed wife is with child?"

"Brother, you finally have a child!"

"This calls for a celebration."

More such words were heard.

"Hahaha, thank you, thank you," came a young man's voice in response.

Afterwards, this young man also came upstairs and walked to Xu Lei's mother's side.

He actually looked a little younger than his mother.

This surprised Xu Lei a bit.

'But a baby's brain can't support thinking for too long.'

So Xu Lei quickly drifted off to sleep.

Obviously, Xu Lei had failed to be reincarnated as a child of the Royal Family this time.

But it was at least a little better than his last birth.

Who was to blame but himself for failing to die near the Capital City?

There was nothing to be done about it.

Besides, it was Xu Lei's own choice to enter the Eastern Wilderness Marsh in the first place.

Because later, Xu Lei had thought that it didn't really make much of a difference what kind of family he was reborn into.

'After all, with my current Cultivation, and the fact I still have dynamite, dealing with all sorts of worldly matters is actually still quite easy.

Whether it's power or status, it won't be hard to obtain.

Besides, after reincarnating, I'll still have to renounce the world in the end in order to cultivate in peace.

In short, if I could be reborn into the Royal Family, handling certain worldly affairs would definitely be more convenient.

But since I wasn't, it doesn't matter.'

「Another day passed in the blink of an eye.」

Xu Lei had woken up again.

He began his Cultivation in his mother's womb.

Through some simple Cultivation, Xu Lei sensed that his aptitude for cultivation in this life seemed a bit better than in his last.

Although not by a huge margin.

It was still pretty good.

But not long after he started his Cultivation, Xu Lei got tired again and fell asleep.

When Xu Lei woke up again, he discovered that his mother had been taken hostage by that middle-aged male servant from before.

"Get a carriage ready! Let us go, let us leave the city! And prepare a thousand taels of gold."

The man's face was vicious as he spoke to Xu Lei's father, whose own expression was grim. "Otherwise, we'll kill your wife and the child in her belly!"

"Alright, alright! Don't do anything rash. I'll agree to your terms."

Xu Lei's young father quickly said, "Just don't hurt my wife and my child!

I promise, you can leave safely!

I won't hold this against you!"

Xu Lei's mother seemed to be quite frightened as well; her face was pale, and she said nothing.

After that, Xu Lei's father did indeed arrange for a carriage and gathered the gold, having it all sent over.
