“Going down to earth is simple, just a kick away!” This damn godfather kicked me right in the butt, sending me flying! “The jade hairpin is for contacting me! Call me if you need anything!” I’d rather not have the hairpin than be kicked! What’s the use of my VIP pass? Damn Jade Emperor godfather!
I drew a perfect parabolic arc, experiencing free fall completely. Luckily, landing on the ground was surprisingly painless. Is this how easy reincarnation is?
I opened my eyes, finding myself lying on a hard bed. The room’s furnishings were simple. I was disappointed; looking at the beautiful girl’s face, she must be from a rich family. Who would let such a noble young lady sleep on such a hard bed? I reached beside the pillow – phew, all my gold ingots were intact, and the jade hairpin was still there.
I struggled to sit up and looked down – oh my! No signs of being a woman! Could I be… a man? But the beautiful woman I saw at Yama King’s place was definitely female, and the documents clearly stated she was a woman! What’s going on?
A brother at the door dropped his teacup, snapping me back to reality. The young man seemed excited to see me “resurrect,” rushing over to hug me tightly, as if afraid I’d disappear. “Brother Ling! You’ve finally woken up! You scared me to death!”
I was nearly suffocating from his embrace. Enthusiasm is good, but too much is not. “Hey… could you… let go… I’m dying…” “Oh!” He let go as soon as I spoke. “Little brother, can you tell me my name and what I do?”
The young brother widened his eyes, looking at me as if I were an alien. “Brother Ling, are you… okay? You were just injured by a thief, right? How could you not remember these things?” I roared, “Don’t make me ask again! I absolutely hate trouble, and asking me the same question twice is the thing I hate most!”
“Yes!” He immediately stood at attention, respectfully answering: “Your surname is Ling, given name is Han, and you’re a constable in this yamen!” His response sparked my interest in one question: “How much is my monthly salary?”
