Chapter 89 Which fellow Daoist is undergoing tribulation?
In the vast universe, there exists a mysterious and enchanting blue planet. This planet is like a dazzling gem, radiating a unique charm.
In a corner of this planet, in a rather simple rented room, a pretty woman with an adorable baby face stretched out her arms with a sigh of relief, her face beaming with a satisfied smile: "Finally finished writing! Hehe, I updated another 20,000 words today, I'm sure I can beat those guys!"
This young woman named Yu Jiaojiao has already demonstrated extraordinary writing talent.
Yu Jiaojiao is only twenty-four years old now, and has only been out of university for half a year.
She was born into an ordinary but warm family, with two loving older brothers and kind parents. However, unlike most of her peers, Yu Jiaojiao did not rush to find a stable job after graduation.
Instead, she resolutely chose to stay at home and devote herself wholeheartedly to her beloved online literature creation.
For Yu Jiaojiao, becoming a professional writer has always been her biggest dream.
Despite the bumpy road ahead and the numerous setbacks and failures she has experienced, none of these could diminish her passion and dedication to writing.
Especially when she saw other outstanding writers achieve success with their brilliant works, a raging fire was ignited in her heart.
The story of Yu Jiaojiao's entry into the world of online literature dates back to a momentous time eight years ago. At that time, a novel called "Martial Soul Continent" appeared out of nowhere, like a dazzling ray of light piercing the sky.
This masterpiece, meticulously crafted by the author "Deceased Wife Douluo," quickly became a sensation in the literary world with its unique creativity and gripping plot, earning the author tens of millions in wealth.
It can be said that "Martial Soul Continent" not only pioneered the new genre of online novels with an invincible harem, but also set up an insurmountable monument for those who followed.
It was precisely because of the profound influence of "Martial Soul Continent" that Yu Jiaojiao decided to position her first work as a fan fiction of that novel.
After all, as the first work that introduced her to the world of online novels, "Martial Soul Continent" had already left a deep impression on her.
Furthermore, the popularity of fan fiction about "Martial Soul Continent" on the Qifei Novels website undoubtedly provided Yu Jiaojiao, a newcomer to the literary world, with an excellent opportunity to hone her skills. Thus, filled with passion and aspirations, Yu Jiaojiao embarked on this creative path full of challenges and opportunities.
After six months of hard work, the results are remarkable and delightful.
The novel *Martial Soul Continent* boasts a large and loyal fanbase who are full of anticipation and love for the story. As a result, its subscriber count has remained stable at around 1100, and the daily update pace of 20,000 words has satisfied readers.
In this way, I can easily earn over ten thousand a month. It feels wonderful!
Just then, a deafening thunderclap came from outside the window: "Boom!" It was as if the whole world was shaken.
Yu Jiaojiao quickly shut down her computer, stood up, and walked to the balcony to collect the clothes that were drying.
As she walked, she muttered to herself, "How strange! It was such a sunny day just now, how could it suddenly change and start raining?"
Then, she jokingly added, "Could it be that some cultivator is undergoing a heavenly tribulation?"
As she spoke, she looked up at the dark, heavy clouds and muttered to herself.
However, at that moment, another earth-shattering roar erupted: "Boom!"
This time, the thunder was clearly different from before, seemingly containing some mysterious and powerful force.
Yu Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel alarmed, but before she could react further, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck straight down toward the balcony.
In an instant, the dazzling light was almost blinding, accompanied by a dull thud—"Bang!" Yu Jiaojiao didn't even have time to finish a sentence before she instantly lost consciousness and died.
Time passed, and after an unknown amount of time, Yu Jiaojiao slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a strange and dark place.
A sinister atmosphere permeated the surroundings, and the walls flickered with an eerie light. She was terrified and tried to recall what had happened, but her mind was a complete mess.
Suddenly, a voice asked.
"Name?" A dignified and deep voice rang out.
"Yu Jiaojiao," came the soft, clear voice.
"Age?" the other party continued to ask.
"Twenty-four," Yu Jiaojiao answered truthfully.
"Gender?" came another question.
"Uh... female." Yu Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment before giving her answer.
"That's not right, Yu Jiaojiao, right? The Book of Life and Death shows that you have eighty years of life left. How did you die?" The old man in the black and red official robe asked with a suspicious look on his face. He knew that the Book of Life and Death would never make a mistake.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao felt embarrassed and awkward. She stammered, "He was... struck by lightning and died."
The thought of leaving this world in such a ridiculous and shameful way made Yu Jiaojiao wish she could disappear into the ground. She had only gone to collect some clothes; who could have predicted that a sudden bolt of lightning would instantly take her life!
"Struck by lightning?" Upon hearing this, the old man immediately turned his gaze to Yu Jiaojiao, a look of surprise and speechlessness in his eyes. Clearly, even he felt that this little girl was truly unfortunate.
"Grandpa, since I still have eighty years of life left, could you please have mercy and let me return to the human world?"
Yu Jiaojiao stared at the old man with a sorrowful expression, her eyes revealing endless grief and helplessness. Her delicate body trembled slightly, as fragile as a flower swaying in the wind.
"Ahem." The old man coughed a few times, breaking the suffocating silence.
He slowly raised his hand, did some calculations, and then slowly said, "Little girl, your physical body has long since turned to ashes, and it is absolutely impossible for you to return to the human world."
However, it's not entirely hopeless. In my opinion, why don't you stay in the underworld and take up a public office?
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao's eyes widened in astonishment.
She shook her head repeatedly without hesitation, muttering, "Being a civil servant in the underworld? Absolutely not! I don't want to work! I'll never work in my life! Does this mean I really can't go back to the world of the living?"
The thought of being trapped in this gloomy and terrifying underworld forever made Yu Jiaojiao's heart sink to the bottom.
Faced with Yu Jiaojiao's resolute attitude, the old man frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
He waved his hand dismissively, saying with a hint of annoyance, "Unwilling? Hmph, you really don't know what's good for you! Do you know how coveted a civil servant position is in my underworld? So many people dream of getting it! Since you're so eager to return to the mortal realm, then give up on your dreams. You'd better find somewhere else to settle down."
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao was stunned and at a loss for words. She stared blankly at the old man and murmured, "Change the location?"
But where else can I go besides the mortal realm and the underworld?
Yu Jiaojiao was well aware of the so-called immortal realm; given her current situation, it was simply an unattainable dream.
"Hmm," the old man pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Very well, seeing how pitiful you are, I will take pity on you and send you to a place called 'Dou. Martial Soul Continent.' That place should be too unfamiliar to you."
The old man's face lit up with an expression that suggested he'd gotten a great deal, and he said, "Martial Soul Continent? Haha, that's not just something out of a novel!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and the word "time travel" immediately flashed through her mind. After all, as a veteran online novelist, she was all too familiar with this kind of plot.
However, before Yu Jiaojiao could think about it further, the old man continued, "The so-called novels are merely the views of ordinary people like you."
"Alright, the time has come. It's time for you to embark on your own journey."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man waved his large hand gently, and a deep, dark hole suddenly appeared, swallowing the unsuspecting Yu Jiaojiao with lightning speed.
Then, as if he had completed a task, the old man casually muttered to himself, "Alright, job done. Where's the next target?"
I'm asking for recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Does anyone have any unused tickets they could give me?
I have readers who want to travel through time, all lined up and using their tickets as travel passes. I'll arrange for you to go one by one.
