After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 1 Negotiating with Yama



Chapter 1 Negotiating with Yama

"I don't care, I want to go back! I haven't lived enough yet! Since it's your fault, you have to take responsibility for sending me back!"

Inside the Yama's Palace, a woman angrily pointed at Yama, demanding that he send her back!

When Yama heard her plea, he was not angry at all. Instead, he flipped through the Book of Life and Death in his hand with a blank expression.

Jiang Mianmian, forty-five years old, had eighteen years of life remaining in the mortal realm—not yet exhausted. Due to a momentary fainting spell, she was mistakenly thought to be dead by the Black and White Impermanence and had her soul taken to the underworld, where she has been for more than half a year.

Seeing this, King Yama slammed his hand down on the Book of Life and Death, his sharp eyes glaring fiercely at the Black and White Impermanence standing to the side:

"Look at what you two have done! Not only did you take the wrong soul, but you also kept it a secret from me, the King of Hell, for so long. You two have quite the nerve!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yama slammed the Book of Life and Death in his hand into their faces. The Black and White Impermanence were in excruciating pain from the impact, but they dared not cry out and had to carefully catch the Book of Life and Death that was being thrown at them.

The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance, their backs slumping. They quickly explained to King Yama, "Your Majesty, we...we were wrong. When we were collecting souls, we were collecting the soul of her granddaughter, and later we found she had no breath left."

We...we all thought she was dead too, that she just didn't have time to tell us, so she just...gave...

After we learned the details, we planned to bring her back to life immediately, but her body had already decomposed, so we... we dared not say anything more!

"You bastards, how dare you! I think you're no longer fit for this job. You're utterly useless. No wonder you've been doing this for so many years and are still just the lowest-ranking Soul Reapers. You two, go to the Avici Hell and receive your punishment."

King Yama angrily pointed at the Black and White Impermanence. The two of them really knew how to cause him trouble. The year-end assessment was approaching, and he thought they were just jealous that he would be promoted at the end of the year, so they thought of causing him trouble.

At this moment, the Black and White Impermanence were trembling with fear because of what King Yama had just said. If they were to go through the nineteen levels of hell, their souls would be completely scattered.

The two men immediately knelt down and began to beg for mercy: "Lord Yama, we really know we were wrong, please spare our lives, please spare our lives..."

Seeing that King Yama was about to lose his temper, the judge knew that none of them in the underworld would fare well, so he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over for the Black and White Impermanence:

"Lord Yama, since the mistake has already been made, killing them now will not help. You should think about how to solve the immediate problem as soon as possible. You can punish them later after the matter is resolved!"

Upon hearing the judge's words, Yama snorted coldly and withdrew his sharp gaze from the Black and White Impermanence.

The two impermanent men, Black and White Impermanence, breathed a sigh of relief when they felt the large swords above their heads being removed. They then looked at the judge with gratitude.

At this moment, the judge remained expressionless, only giving them a wink. The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance, and the two quietly slipped out.

King Yama ignored their sneaking away, because seeing their foolish behavior only made him angrier; out of sight, out of mind. Sigh! He'd never encountered anything like this before; how should he resolve it?

He looked at Jiang Mianmian, who refused to back down, again, and suddenly, he felt a terrible headache!

He accidentally caused a huge mess for the Black and White Impermanence, but he, as the boss, had to clean up the mess his subordinate made.

Hmph! Just you wait, neither of you will be able to advance for another five hundred years!

"Jiang Mianmian, although your lifespan has not ended, you have been in the underworld for so long that your body has long been buried and is probably already rotten. You can't go back now."

"How about this? I'll arrange for you to be reborn into a very auspicious and wealthy life, guaranteeing you a long and prosperous future. What do you say?"

Jiang Mianmian was not moved by Yan Jun's words. It wasn't until she entered the underworld and died that she learned she was a transmigrator. However, she lost her memory after transmigrating into the book and forgot everything.

But when she thought of the tragic scene of her granddaughter dying in the book, she immediately refused:

"No! Lord Yama, I just don't want to be reincarnated. Could you please send me back to the time when my little granddaughter was born? That child has suffered too much."

Upon hearing Jiang Mianmian's words, King Yama immediately flipped through the Book of Life and Death again, and saw Jiang Mianmian's granddaughter. Haha, her granddaughter's short life was truly miserable!

However, he had seen far too many unfortunate people like her in the underworld, and could only feel sorry for her for a second at most!

Ouch! His head seemed to hurt even more. Yan Jun glanced at the judge beside him, hoping he could give him a good idea.

After receiving a signal from Yama, the judge's eyes darted around, and he immediately leaned close to Yama's ear and whispered a few words, which made Yama's expression much better.

He said to Jiang Mianmian, "Jiang Mianmian, I can grant your request and help you return to the time when you had your granddaughter."

However, this King Yama needs to reverse time, but I don't know which stage of time I'll send you back to. Do you agree?

Upon hearing King Yama's words, Jiang Mianmian immediately nodded in agreement. However, she then added, "Alright, I agree! But, Lord King Yama, I have one more request?"

Yan Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Jiang Mianmian, and said, "Oh, then you tell me first?"

"Lord Yama, I have done no evil in this life. The reason I was wrongfully killed was due to the negligence of the staff of the underworld. Your permission for me to return is only to make amends for the mistakes made by your staff."

Therefore, you must compensate me, after all, I can't let myself be unjustly killed, can I?

"What kind of compensation do you want? Tell me. I can't possibly agree to any unreasonable demands," Yan Jun said expressionlessly.

Jiang Mianmian chuckled: "Lord Yama, how could I make an excessive request? I just want a cheat code."

Look, there are so many people who are reborn or transmigrate; it's become the norm, hasn't it? So I have to keep up with the times too..."

Yan Jun's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't immediately agree. Although he seemed hesitant, he was secretly relieved.

Oh my goodness, that really scared him! He thought Jiang Mianmian was going to ask for an exorbitant price!

King Yama coughed, pretending to ponder for a long time before saying, "Hmm, your request is indeed a bit high, but considering that you died because of Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's mistake, I will make an exception for you. Please wait a moment while I take a look!"

After saying this, Yama took out the Qiankun bag hanging from his waist and began rummaging through it. Then, as if he had seen something, he waved his hand instantly, and a large golden spinning wheel appeared in the hall.

The spinning wheel is full of cheat codes: spatial abilities, invisibility, mind reading, superpowers, various systems, X-ray vision, character and plot analysis...

Jiang Mianmian chuckled. She stared at all the amazing features on the spinning wheel, unable to look away.

Oh my goodness, so many dazzling golden fingers, they're almost blinding her old eyes.

Oh! This space is great, it can definitely hold a lot of things, she wants it.

Hmm, this xx system is pretty good, um, that one is good too, and those other ones seem alright as well.

Oh dear, with so many cheat codes, she was overwhelmed and didn't know which one to choose. If only she could take them all with her!

Lord Yama, please! I will definitely thank your whole family.

If Yama were to hear Jiang Mianmian's innermost thoughts right now, he'd probably spit in her face. He wouldn't even dare to think like that. You grew up to be ugly, but you're quite beautiful now. You really dare to think anything. You have quite the nerve!

The judge said with a smile, "Jiang Mianmian, come and choose one!"

Jiang Mianmian walked up to the spinning wheel. Faced with so many amazing advantages, she hesitated for a moment. However, following the judge's instructions, she gently pressed her hand on the wheel. A flash of golden light, and the wheel began to spin rapidly.

A moment later, the wheel stopped spinning, and the pointer landed on the character plot interpretation.

However, none of the people in the main hall noticed that there was a line of small print below the character plot interpretation: (Received together with mind reading).

Yan Jun's expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something. He anxiously said to Jiang Mianmian:

"Alright, Jiang Mianmian, this is my compensation for your cheat system. The portal is now open, so hurry up and go in!"

Before the words were even finished, and before Jiang Mianmian could figure out what the "golden finger" that Yan Jun was compensating her with was, her soul was enveloped and entered into a white light.

Jiang Mianmian only felt a flash of golden light on her body, and then she fainted in the light.

After seeing Jiang Mianmian enter the circle of light, King Yama finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead.

"Oh my god, she scared me half to death! Every day like this, thank goodness she left early, otherwise she would have been discovered by the Heavenly Inspector, and my year-end performance bonus would have been deducted again!"

The judge stared at the recently closed portal, a chill creeping over him. After a moment's hesitation, he stammered:

"Lord Yama, I don't know if I saw it wrong just now, but you were in such a hurry that it seemed like you gave Jiang Mianmian too much of a cheat code as compensation?"

"what?"
