Chapter 108 - Ancestors And Their Nonstop Complaints

The night sky was illuminated by millions of stars but the land under that beautiful sky was even more gorgeous.

Thousands of night flowers decorated the land which was surrounded by various water bodies, grasslands, forests, and mountain ranges.

At every distance of a few hundred meters, a palace could be seen. Each palace was designed in its own unique way. Making them appear breathtaking.

A grand palace stood at the top of one of the high mountains. It was sparkling due to the gold and precious jewels that were used in its creation. 

The other smaller palaces surrounded the majestic palace from all the four directions as it stood at the pinnacle.

A huge waterfall was falling from the east end of the Majestic palace which then turned into a huge river full of spiritual water.

On the opposite side of this river was a city built with white marbles and stones of the seven colors of the rainbow.

The city was built in an organized way. The first section of the city consisted of large manors. The second section was a well-organized market and the third section was built of normal houses. Though in front of the palaces and manors, these houses appeared slightly less eye-catching but these houses could still give any noble officials manor on the Mortal Realm run for their money.

Though it was night but the city was illuminated by the Light gathering stones.

On the other hand, the palaces that were surrounding the Majestic Imperial Palace were also shining brightly, and among all these stood the imperial palace of the Heaven Realm.

Currently, on the West tower of the Heaven Imperial Palace, a man in silky but simple golden robes was sitting in the lotus position on a high platform built in the center of an ice field.

His long black hair was falling down on his back, a single dragon hairpin gleamed in his hair. A single look at that hairpin and everyone would be on their knees to bow to the Ruler of Heaven.

His dark eyebrows, straight nose, pouty lips, and the sharp jawline could make anyone fall for him.

His beauty was majestic and he appeared as glorious as the sun. His bright powerful aura could trample an entire realm.  

His eyes were closed as he channeled his energy to the half golden and half green leaf that was levitating in the air between his hands.

A few minutes passed when a silhouette appeared at the ice platform and kneeled down on the bone-chilling ice as he greeted the Immortal.

"Supreme Ruler, something unexpected had happened in the Mortal Realm." The man who was still on his knees said in a light voice.

The Immortal stopped channeling his qi and the leaf disappeared. As he slowly opened his eyes they gleamed a bright golden for a moment before they returned to a beautiful pair of obsidian eyes.

No one could dare to enter the West Tower's Ice Fields. The fact that Heaven Emperor's most trusted man had gone against this rule meant that the situation was really serious. 

The guard told the Supreme Ruler everything that his team saw in the Mortal Realm. By the time he finished, the High Immortal had already stood up. 

He elegantly walked down the ice platform and then entered into the West Wing of the Heaven Imperial Palace. 

"I'll be visiting the other realms. Prepare for my departure." His melodious voice laced with power and authority boomed through the empty wing.

The guard bowed and disappeared to fulfill his master's orders.

***********

"How can you be so careless? I still can't believe that you ended up here twice in just barely six months? Are you seriously thinking about settling here? Don't tell me that you actually liked this place. What's here to even like? We had tried our best to give you a second chance of life but you just keep coming back here!"

Li Ming listened to the sharp ear-piercing shouts that were starting to give her a headache. 

She stared around the room which appeared completely lifeless to her. But again, how could an empty room with grey walls with no ceiling and windows be anything but lifeless.

Moreover, the voices of her ancestors boomed through the room like they were using microphones to punish her.

Who knew that the moment she would open her eyes, she would find herself back on the cold floor of the same room where she first opened her eyes about five and a half months ago after she died in her world.

These same annoying voices had greeted her then telling her exactly how foolish she was to trust the other clan heads and how hard they had to try to give her a second life.

Then, bam! She transmigrated to a completely new world with a completely new identity and life.

And in these past months of her new life, Li Ming actually felt thankful towards these people who called themselves as the spirits of the ancestors of Mages. 

And she would probably have thanked them and paid her respects by kowtowing if she had not been bombarded with nonstop lectures and questions.

Now, thanking them and kowtowing was the last thing in her mind. All she wanted was to disappear from that place but unfortunately, none of her powers worked. Traitors!

"It was not on purpose, I swear on your life!" Li Ming shouted out in frustration as she rubbed her forehead in order to lessen her headache.

She no more remembered the exact amount of times she had tried to tell these oldies that she didn't come to visit them on purpose but nothing worked until now.

If she knew that swearing on their lives would make them believe her she would have used this idea way before.

Oh dear, how naive is our FL! *sigh*

"We have already died once to save the future generations of the mage and supernatural clan. We even saved your life twice but...you-you unfaithful young girl! How could you be so shamefull to swear on our lives?" The voice of an old woman boomed through the room and Li Ming wanted to hit her head on a wall as she heard the allegations of the woman. Of course, her idea of swearing on their lives backfired at her.

A jar of wine appeared in front of her and the familiar childlike voice muttered softly in her ears that she would like to take a sip in the current situation.

This same thing happened the last time when this same old ancestor had started counting all of Li Ming's stupid decisions and mistakes of her life. That day Li Ming realized that more than half of her life was written on her mistakes and the rest half on her stupidity. That day too a jar of wine appeared in front of her out of nowhere and the voice of a child softly murmured to her that she should enjoy the drink while listening to the nonstop complaints of the ancestor.

That day she didn't drink it because she was too shocked by everything that happened to her within the span of a few hours.

But right now, the situation was different. She was not in any shock and looking at the situation she knew that the so-called ancestors were not quieting down anytime soon. 

Therefore, our fl made another stupid decision and added it in her list of stupid decisions. She was idiot enough to drink the wine offered by a complete stranger who even was the spirit of a child ancestor. That's called stupidity with a capital S.

The wine was actually good and soon Li Ming had emptied the entire jar but the oldies were still going on with their complaints. How could someone have so many complaints?

But again when one had nothing to do in their afterlife, finding faults in their future generations could become their favorite time pass and if by any chance they got a chance to let their frustration out even at a single person from those new generations of their family, that would be the best wish anyone could grant to those frustrated spirits.

"Alright! Alright! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to upset any of you," Li Ming said in a loud voice which finally made the oldies to quiet down.

Li Ming took in a deep breath as she tried to shake off the fuzziness that was trying to take over her mind.

"I'm sorry that I'm failing you guys and your sacrifices. I'm really thankful to all of you for the second life that you all gifted me. I won't lie that meeting you all was a nice surprise but it definitely wasn't the worst. I'll try to be more careful in the future and will make sure that I won't end up here again anytime soon and if possible EVER. But I'm happy to know that whenever I'll be fighting a war between life and death, you all will be there with me." Li Ming bowed and paid her respects to her ancestors.

"Oh no! Now, I'm feeling bad for making her drink that wine. She's gonna hate us!" A voice boomed through the room shocking Li Ming with their words.

"What do you mean?" She asked in a slurry voice but before she could receive any answer, her world turned black.
