Lu Qing Wan had certainly considered this issue. Upon hearing the question, her expression became resolute. "There must be a way.
As long as I can make that disgusting couple taste the bitter fruit they planted themselves, I'll endure bitter melon and yellow lentils every day if I must, but I will absolutely ensure Liu Han Yan's soul returns to its rightful place and bears the burden that rightfully belongs to her."
Lu Qing Wan's connection to her family in this foreign world, one of the few she had, was with Lu Zhen Ting.
She harbored no feelings for Liu Han Yan or the Nan Gong Che she had never met.
Every disappointment she felt was merely for the original owner of the body and for Lu Zhen Ting, feeling it was unjust.
If she were to truly kill them, even if she herself knew they weren't her parents, she would still bear the nominal charge of matricide and patricide.
Such infamy would crush an ordinary person, let alone her, the Empress of Tian Feng.
Once deliberately spread by those with ulterior motives, not only would her reputation be ruined, but Si Feng Wu's future rule over Tian Feng would be severely questioned.
However, what that couple had done was too abhorrent. To do nothing and let them off the hook, leaving them to constantly irk her, was something Lu Qing Wan could never accept.
Since they wouldn't let her live peacefully, she would simply make everyone's life difficult.
She would return Liu Han Yan's soul to its rightful place and make her experience the plight of being notorious while inhabiting the body of a concubine, the "Gong Yan" of Nan Qi.
Moreover, Lu Qing Wan didn't believe Nan Gong Che could be completely indifferent to the fact that Liu Han Yan's body had been ravaged by Qi Shu Ying.
And how would their two children face a mother who had lost her reputation?
Lu Qing Wan found the thought exhilarating.
Excitedly, she slapped Si Feng Wu's arm and said, "You sleep, I'm going to find Da Bai."
With that, she disappeared before Si Feng Wu could react.
Si Feng Wu was left speechless with a wry smile, but he could do nothing about her. He decided not to sleep either and rose to meditate and practice.
In the spatial laboratory, Da Bai was sleeping soundly on the control console. He was startled awake by Lu Qing Wan and twitched his whiskers.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes and meeting Lu Qing Wan's excited gaze, he shivered. "What do you want now?"
"It's been over a year since the war ended and I've been saving people, but the spatial laboratory hasn't given me any rewards. Can I claim my own rewards?"
Da Bai, still groggy from sleep, blinked his cat eyes as Lu Qing Wan posed the question.
"What do you want to exchange for?"
Lu Qing Wan's eyes lit up. "You mean I can choose my own rewards?"
Da Bai remained silent. He jumped from her arms onto the table and pushed the long-neglected "Xuanyuan Spatial Laboratory Usage Guidelines" towards Lu Qing Wan.
She skillfully opened the "Spatial Usage Guidelines" and saw that the transaction volume of the spatial laboratory had reached saturation. m..oΓg
As the owner of the spatial laboratory, not only would there be no further access restrictions from the spatial laboratory for Lu Qing Wan in the future, but the more people she saved, the more rewards she could redeem herself.
Overjoyed, Lu Qing Wan turned and asked Da Bai directly, "If I want Liu Han Yan and Meng Fu Su to return to their rightful souls, can the spatial laboratory help me do that?"
Da Bai still didn't speak. He pointed a paw at the "Spatial Usage Guidelines" in Lu Qing Wan's hand.
Lu Qing Wan, understanding implicitly, flipped to a new page. This time, the spatial laboratory did not directly fulfill her wish of returning Liu Han Yan's soul to its original state. Instead, it presented a secret technique called "Du Zhong Sheng" (Saving All Beings).
The wonder of the "Spatial Usage Guidelines" was that Lu Qing Wan didn't need to laboriously memorize or understand the displayed content. The moment she saw it, the content would appear in her mind.
"Du Zhong Sheng," at first glance, seemed like a method to save all beings, as if to guide the deceased.
But as Lu Qing Wan held the "Spatial Usage Guidelines," she was so shocked she could barely keep it steady.
"Du Zhong Sheng" was originally the power of the heavenly cycle and the divine.
Now, the spatial laboratory had bestowed upon her such a heaven-defying ability.
It could not only return the souls of Liu Han Yan, Meng Fu Su, Qi Shu Ying, and even herself, all transmigrators and reincarnators, to their rightful places.
Even, if she wished, it could bring back the deceased to the mortal world.
Upon suddenly acquiring such a heaven-defying skill, Lu Qing Wan's first reaction was not joy, but an inexplicable sense of panic.
If it were possible, there were so many people she wanted to resurrect.
But at the same time, her reason told her that such a skill could not be used casually.
Her emotions churned for a long time. She threw down the "Spatial Usage Guidelines" and decisively went to find Si Feng Wu.
He was meditating when he heard her approach and quickly stopped. Seeing Lu Qing Wan's face filled with terror, he immediately drew her into his embrace.
"Weren't you going to find Da Bai?
What happened?
Why are you so scared?"
He thought Lu Qing Wan hadn't found a way to deal with Liu Han Yan and considerately added, "Did you not find a way for Liu Han Yan's soul to return to its rightful place?
It's alright. If you're unwilling to let her go, and don't want to kill her, I can cripple her.
Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Curled up in his familiar embrace, feeling Si Feng Wu's familiar warmth, Lu Qing Wan mumbled, "No.
I found a way..."
This left Si Feng Wu even more bewildered. "You found it, isn't that good? Why aren't you happy?"
He pulled back slightly, gazing into Lu Qing Wan's eyes, his gaze full of undisguised concern.
Though Lu Qing Wan still felt uneasy, she was no longer as panicked.
"But the method I found not only allows Liu Han Yan's soul to return to its rightful place, but it can also revive all the deceased."
Si Feng Wu took a long moment to process her simple statement.
"You're saying you have the ability to bring the dead back to life?"
Lu Qing Wan nodded. "Theoretically, yes."
Si Feng Wu abruptly covered Lu Qing Wan's mouth. "Let's put this matter to rest.
Liu Han Yan is a thorn in your side. Let her soul return to its rightful place.
After this, forget that you have such an ability.
The deceased, whether they are our relatives, our enemies, or your unresolved regrets, do not think of bringing them back to life.
A person's luck and destiny are predetermined by heaven. A'Wan, defying heaven too much is not a good thing."
All of Lu Qing Wan's unease was smoothed away by Si Feng Wu's words. She nodded obediently like a child. "Indeed, heroes think alike. That's exactly what I was thinking."
When she had first seen the power of "Du Zhong Sheng" in the "Spatial Usage Guidelines," she had considered reviving Lu Zhen Ting and his wife.
But Lu Qing Wan knew that suddenly acquiring such a heaven-defying skill was like a poor person becoming suddenly rich. The backlash from abusing such a skill would likely exceed their imagination.
It was only because Liu Han Yan had been forcibly possessed that she dared to let Liu Han Yan's soul return to its rightful place.
Otherwise, she wouldn't even consider such an act that defied the heavenly cycle.
With Si Feng Wu's support, she was completely at ease.
