Chapter 604 - Hope For The Future
Kana nodded and ran back into her house with Liu Na following up behind her. Outside, Lord Yong felt that his stupid disciple would need to work harder if he wishes to woo this little girl as she does not seem like someone easily moved. He watched her closely just now, and other than a soft smile on her lips, she did not seem excited by anything he had said. Only if Lord Yong knew that Kana had no idea what he was talking about to start with. It was not that she was not excited but that she never got a chance to ask any questions about what was going on due to the two old men not giving her a chance. As soon as Elder Ning finished giving Kana instructions, he had turned to start talking with Lord Yong without letting Kana ask a single thing and since it was rude to interrupt people as they were talking, Kana decided to just ask Liu Na when they went inside.

The realm of the dead…
Currently, inside a room within her grand palace of the Ghost Empress were two young ghostly cat girls. Angelica looked at the two fondly as she stood in front of them. "It took a while, but I finally found you two. Aunty Cielie, Aunty Nergal"
Tears welled up in Angelica\'s eyes as she went forward and hugged the two. Ceilie and Nergal both smiled and hugged Angelica back. "You have grown so big and beautiful. To think you would end up becoming the Ghost Empress… But if you are here, that means…"
"No. I am alive and well. I have full control of my soul. So I am able to split part of it off to enter the realm of the dead. The old man had me come here to grow stronger in order to kill the Goddess of Life so Mama could gain her powers. Aunty Ceilie, Aunty Nergal, just wait. When I meet up with Mama once again, I will bring you two out of the realm of the dead so she can resurrect the both of you. As she is now the Goddess of Life and Death, she has the power to bring you back to life." Angelica explained while hugging the two tighter.
Nergal, who was the shortest of the three actually burst out crying, hearing she could come back to life. "Is what you say true? Can we really be revived?"
"From what the old man told me, she will be able to. The only reason he did not do it was to give Mama another reason to work hard in growing stronger. She will need to be a certain level of strength in order to revive the both of you. At least a Higher Angel." Angelica finally broke her hug with the two and wiped her tears as she answered Nergal.
"That\'s good to hear. The two of us were recently thinking of trying to reincarnate, but anytime we got close to the river to check things out, we would end up finding ourselves at the entrance of the city." Ceilie said, half complaining and half sighing in relief.
"Hoho! I did that for a reason." An old man\'s voice came from behind Ceilie and Nergal.
Angelica looked at the old man with a cold gaze. "What are you doing here?"
"Now, now, I just so happened to have been checking on things here when I saw that you had found these two." The old man answered while making I have been wronged expression.
"It\'s good you are here. I wanted to ask. Did you save their souls that time?" Angelica asked bluntly.
"Mmm… When the two were about to die, I sent their souls here to the realm of the dead before they could be destroyed. I also made it so that they could never get near the river. All so your mother could bring them back to life later on." The old man explained.
"So everything was planned from the very beginning. You allowed not only my Mama but everyone else to suffer just to reach your goals!?" Angelica yelled. She was so angry. If she could, she would rip this old man\'s soul out and slowly burn it to nothing in soul flames! "You do realize once I tell my Mama this that she will be hell bent on killing you, right?"
"Haha! That is why this old man plans to run away when she gets powerful enough to take my position over. Anyway, I was just stopping in. I think I left my stove on, so I need to go turn it off! Tootles!" The old man gave a wave before disappearing, leaving behind an enraged Angelica.
"Haha… That was one interesting old man." Ceilie said with a chuckle. She was currently scratching Nergal\'s ears to calm her down. "But although a lot happened and we did indeed die at that time, what happened was not his fault. Those insectoids were like zombies. They did not have a mind of their own. Actually, about that, what happened to the others?" Ceilie asked. She was worried about Tilia and the rest.
"Tilia and the others were dragged to the eighteenth floor of hell where godmother Camlia set them up with a place for them to live. Last I heard, Tilia started a new kingdom in hell. But the place we once knew, where we all lived and grew up in, is nothing more than a dessert now. It was sucked dry of all life due to a strange insect race." Angelica explained.
Ceilie frowned hearing this. "Well… For now, we know that in the future, we can see them all again. For those who died… I do not know what to say about them. But more importantly, where is Nergal and I\'s room?"
Angelica chuckled, hearing Ceilie\'s question. "Come follow me. I will bring you two to your new love nest."

Back on Kana\'s side, she had already sunk her sweaty body into a hot bath, causing her to let out a relaxed sigh. "Liu Na, can you explain what those two old guys were talking about?"
