After my godfather processed my reincarnation paperwork, I shouldered my gold bundle and headed towards the Bridge of Helplessness, only to be stopped by Yama King godfather: “My darling goddaughter, where are you going?” “Of course, to the Bridge of Helplessness!” I was frustrated. Are there more procedures? Why is coming back to life so complicated?
Yama King godfather smiled apologetically, “You can’t go to the mortal world from there. I’m a bit tight on funds recently and haven’t paid Meng Po her salary, so she’s on strike and the bridge is closed!” I gave him a contemptuous look. I despise people who make others work without paying them!
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m helpless too. But you can go down to earth through your Jade Emperor godfather!” Yama King godfather suggested.
Fine, for the moon’s sake, I won’t hold a grudge. (Moon: “What does this have to do with me?!”)
Holding my VIP pass, I skipped into the heavenly elevator. Before entering heaven, I called back to Yama King godfather: “Godfather~ Remember to slowly pay back those ten thousand taels of gold!” The elevator door closed, leaving Yama King godfather stunned.

“Godfather~~ Jade Emperor godfather~~” I ran into the Lingxiao Hall, causing the Jade Emperor godfather to spit his tea onto Moon God’s face. “Your Majesty, I’ve completed the task for you, yet this is how you reward me?” Moon God wiped the tea off his face with his sleeve.
The Jade Emperor godfather asked, “Weren’t you going to collect a debt? Why are you back?” I nodded, “Yes. After settling the debt, I came back. By the way, godfather, how’s that thing I asked you to do?”
The Jade Emperor godfather smiled at Moon God, saying, “Just completed!” I exclaimed, “Oh! Your efficiency is not bad!” I patted his shoulder. “Now quickly send me down to earth!”
Hearing I was going to earth, the Jade Emperor godfather became excited, snatching the paperwork from my hands and stamping it with his jade seal. He then stuffed an exquisite jade hairpin into my hand and dragged me out of the Lingxiao Hall.
