"M-Master..."
"What... it's Master..."
Su Xi, standing to the side, witnessed this scene with a familiar, unsurprised expression.
Seeing Lü Zhong's confusion, she explained, "The river's waters have washed away most of her memories from this life. Only a small, indelible part remains. Perhaps that's why she hasn't undergone reincarnation yet. However, in my experience, this is hardly a good thing."
"If this continues, she might sink into the river's abyss... although, from my perspective, one could see that as a good thing. I won't explain the specifics. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will naturally understand what I mean."
"For souls like this, the Netherworld Lady's usual practice is to let them be. Living beings have freedom of choice, even if that choice is to sink into the abyss of the Nai River... So, do you require my assistance?"
"Please, I ask for your help," Lü Zhong said, cupping his fists.
