Ignoring the outburst about the Reincarnation Stone, Yun Zhi Yue awaited Ouyang Yan's response. After a moment of daze, Ouyang Yan was naturally delighted but asked before agreeing, "Could this be a hindrance to you?"
Yun Zhi Yue smiled brightly, "Not at all."
Ouyang Yan returned the smile, "Thank you, Sister. If I can truly see Yan Su again, it will be worth it."
Yun Zhi Yue nodded, "Yes, let's do it tonight. You need to prepare some candles and Yan Su's personal belongings. Meet me at the Gathering Yin Grounds before midnight; I will give you the address then."
Ouyang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The only personal item I have is his old Military Uniform, but it has his blood on it. I've washed it many times; will that be okay?"
However, blood-stained clothing carries the essence of the person and cannot simply be cleansed by water; it is quite suitable.
Feng Ling was intrigued and immediately chimed in, "Candles can be found at the convenience store."
"No," Yun Zhi Yue replied firmly. "The items here cannot be used."
As soon as her words fell, Shen Xingchuan's expression changed: "You still say it's not a hindrance? Then why can't we use things from the store?"
Yun Zhi Yue maintained her composure: "What are you worrying about? Do I seem like someone who would sacrifice myself for others? Besides, I've only met Ouyang Base Leader a few times; would I really do something that harms myself?"
"It's just a small favor. After all, I will be staying near Ning An for a long time. You will have to go out on missions; how can you always protect me? It's not wrong for me to make a few friends."
Seeing that Shen Xingchuan's expression did not soften, Ouyang Yan quickly interjected, "Sister, I am happy to see Yan Su, but a dead person is still dead; it cannot come at the cost of a living person."
"I consider Shen Xingchuan as my brother. If anything happens to you because of this, how could I face him? Perhaps we should abandon this plan."
Yun Zhi Yue sighed in resignation: "He is just overly worried. Look, everyone who dies will eventually reincarnate; Yan Su's soul may not even be here. We should at least try."
"If he has already reincarnated, there’s nothing I can do about it and I won't see him. But if he hasn't moved on due to lingering attachments, then meeting him would help resolve our regrets about not saying goodbye properly. I won’t come to any harm."
Reaching out to hold Shen Xingchuan's hand, her eyes glimmered with soft affection. Shen Xingchuan's expression softened as he said, "I won’t go on any missions until this matter is resolved."
Feng Ling cheered up: "Great! I'll help Sister find candles; I'm so curious!"
Wen Yu, Xiao Jue, Zhou Xiaoshou, and others were also very interested. Although the apocalypse had reshaped their views on life, encountering someone from the past was still beyond their imagination.
While this group busied themselves collecting candles, only Shen Xingchuan took Yun Zhi Yue upstairs.
Yun Zhi Yue intentionally flirted with him playfully and teased by biting his Adam's apple: "Do you want me?"
Shen Xingchuan held her firmly in front of him with dark eyes: "You're feeling guilty. I don’t want you to hide anything from me. You are my wife; I have the right to know."
Yun Zhi Yue met his gaze for a while before silently walking to the window to overlook the desolate landscape of the apocalypse.
"Alright, what do you want to know? I won't lie to you."
Shen Xingchuan immediately asked, "If you're not using anything from the supermarket, then tell me what you're trying to do. The supermarket doesn't allow it, and yet you want to go against it. What price must you pay?"
"Life."
With just those two words, Shen Xingchuan's pupils constricted. He roughly pulled Yun Zhi Yue in front of him.
With a cold expression, he said, "Life? What do you think you are, and what do you think I am? You're just an outsider; why would you go this far?"
