Reasons!

"Ma! Aiya… ya…. aiya…ya… aiya…." cooed Donghai Lin and the next thing, he realized that his tongue was not listening to him.

"Tee-hee-hee-hee, did you hear what he just called me?" Xuan Xuan asked, breaking into a chuckle. "Call me 'ma' again?"

"Ma ma ma!" repeated Donghai Lin as he was pleased to see her happy because his mother died not long after he was born during his last life. Therefore, he was happy to have one in this life.

Xuan Xuan chuckled and continued playing with him, making goofy faces.

"Did I just hear a baby's voice?" Patriarch Lin said, dashing inside the delivery room with no care that men were not permitted in the room. He snatched the baby and said, "Hahaha, call me Gramp!"

Donghai Lin was not happy when he was carried by his rough hand. So he pouted and wailed as he burst into tears. "Waawaa…."

"Dad, perhaps you're holding the baby wrong. Please, let me give it a try." Lin Han said and took his son from his hand. And he tried his best to calm the baby which would be impossible as Donghai was doing it intentionally anyway.

"Waawaa…yah!" Donghai Lin wailed even louder at the top of his lunge.

"Hey, you're making him uncomfortable. Just give him back to me." Xuan Xuan demanded as she stretched out her hands at them.

Lin Han made a wry smile and passed the baby carefully to her. Just after that, the baby stopped crying magically.

"See." Xuan Xuan said proudly along with a smile and ordered, turning at one midwife as she was planning to feed the baby. "Good. Nurse, please excuse all men."

The two men rushed out, understanding her meaning.

After that, Xuan Xuan took out her breasts, uncovering her upper garment.

'Eh!' Donghai Lin exclaimed in his head and immediately shut his eyes. But the next thing, he opened his eyes, thinking that he was still a baby. And for some reason, he felt natural* unlike how he saw other women in his previous life.

"Alright, feeding time." Xuan Xuan said with a smile and brought the baby toward her ample bosom.

"Aiyaya…ya, ma." Donghai Lin coed, meaning 'I'm a grown-ass man, ma!' He moved his neck away.

"Be good, my baby! Mama's milk is the best you'll ever drink in this whole world." Xuan Xuan said and then she held the baby's face and guided his lips to her breast.

Donghai still refused as his lips were pressed on it. But suddenly, he smelled a sweet aroma coming from it and all the four divine words in his body churned and he felt a pang of intense hunger, followed by gnawing pain and rumbling in his stomach.

"See. You're already this hungry," said the lady, observing her baby like an apple in her eye.

'Whatever. This thirty years old man's mentality will never help me when I'm still just a baby.' Donghai Lin pondered and he opened his mouth and began to drink his, sucking on it with his tongue, and that was the very moment he yelled in his head, 'Woah, it tasted fantastic and my stomach felt warm and nice. Ma is right; a mother's milk is the best thing one would have in their entire life… But, people seemed to not realize it as they don't understand and have no memory of this time. It's my luck that I now realize how pure and valuable a mother's milk is,'

After that, the four Divine words in his body calmed down.

Naihe Bridge, the Underworld,

Even though nine months had already passed in Donghai Lin's world, just a few minutes had passed here after he disappeared.

After all the gods of death and the lower gods were excused, only the 1st Yama, King Qin'guang, remained in Granny Meng Po's shack.

"First lord, I'm confused. Why did you let them go just like that after they caused such topsy turvy and even to the point that this Underworld realm was in the blink of destruction?" Granny Meng Po asked, "And you even let them have their ways, after all, that and in addition, you forced all the gods to drink my forgetfulness soup. Is there another reason why you're doing all of this?"

"You're right, granny Meng. I have my reasons. First, we're the ones who have wronged them. Think about it; making a great figure of the 10 planes that others even dare to look at was made to do a simple nonstop job here for over one million years without any proper terms and conditions. And it's wrong on my part too for keeping one shut." First Yama, King Qin'guang, explained.

He asked, "Most importantly, haven't you realized the man named Donghai Lin was also in a drunken state?"

"What?! A dead soul getting drunk. How is that even possible?" Granny Meng Po exclaimed as she responded with a question.

"Exactly. It's impossible considering our current pieces of knowledge. But, have you forgotten those eight drunkard oddballs who loved creating strange drinks?" First Yama, King Qin'guang replied and asked another question as he smiled.

"Are you referring to the Eight Drunken Immortals who scoffed at my best Meng Po soup?" Granny Meng Po said but there was a smile on her face and she muttered, "At first I was so angry at them when they said that straight to my face. But, after taking a sip of their wines to return the insult, I was mesmerized by the level of their expertise in brewing their liquors. And I felt small for even thinking about comparing my soup with their wines."

"Anyway, I have heard that Celestial Dog belongs to them. And a strange drunken mortal soul, who he called Martial Uncle, suddenly appeared here. Doesn't that mean they were those eight's people?" First Yama, King Qin'guang, said and further added, „Therefore, they are our underworld's friends, and there is no point in making them enemies over some unruly demons. And I was glad they taught some good lessons to my fellow Yamas as well."
