"Wow!" Mengdie looked at everything before him, somewhat astonished.

"I never expected the technology level in the land of the dead to be so high!"

"Hehe, because our scientists here only increase in number, never decrease."

Yama led Mengdie to the front of the platform, pointing to the U-shaped arrangement of instruments before him, proudly saying, "Long ago, Goddess Nüwa used her hands to mold human figures. That was indeed a meticulous and slow process, and only someone as patient as the Goddess could create the splendor of the human world. However, with the progress of time, we can now use the soul's sensory waves to trigger the micro-electric current of the operating platform. By continuously stimulating, we allow the five-colored clay to transform itself. The precision rate reaches one ten-thousandth of a nanometer. Come, now please help us create the most perfect woman!"

After speaking, Yama pressed a button on the monitor in front of him. Soon, a full-dimensional holographic image appeared in front of Mengdie. It was the clay.

Mengdie pursed his lips and hummed. He began to meticulously conceive the human body.

What does a beauty look like? During his lifetime, Mengdie hadn't paid much attention. As a child, he lived in a temple. Later, to train his body, he traveled the world practicing martial arts, fighting from the United States to Brazil, from the United Kingdom to South Africa. It seemed he had stepped on every corner of the earth in his short twenty years, but he had never really observed women. How should he proceed?

Mengdie closed his eyes, thinking deeply... thinking... thinking for a long time. The ghosts around him watched silently, holding their breath, waiting... And their wait was not in vain. As if after years of contemplation, Mengdie's eyes opened again. When his hands touched the holographic image, the object surrounded by the light circle began to transform rapidly.

The softly glowing clay gradually stretched out, forming an object about 158cm tall. Limbs slowly extended from it, initially stick-like, then gradually becoming slender and soft. Web-like fingers gradually separated, forming delicate fingers and soft arms as if carefully sculpted. Round and elastic thighs, perfect from any angle, neither too fat nor too thin. Along with the slender waist and breasts meticulously crafted by Mengdie, this newly formed body already exuded an indescribable charm!

Soft hair grew from the clay... no, it should be called "her" now. Those hairs grew from the top of her head until they were the same length as her body.

Looking at the face beneath the hair... it was almost indescribable! Thin, curved eyebrows, eyes covered by long eyelashes, along with the delicate nose and small mouth on a melon-seed face, brought this lifeless body to life in an instant! Even the ghosts accustomed to seeing beauties from all ages were mesmerized by this body, drooling and dumbstruck.

"No wonder it's the Fate of a Woman, even without memories, the soul clearly knows how to attract men!" a demon whispered.

"Shh! Too much talking!" Yama glared at the demon and continued to watch.

As Mengdie's expression became more serious and meticulous, he slowed down the adjustments, carefully considering the proportion and composition of each part of the body. The female body gradually approached perfection with these precise adjustments. After a long while, Mengdie finally released his hands, carefully inspected every corner of the female body, and sighed in satisfaction, revealing a smile.

"Is this okay? I've set her apparent age to be around 16 or 17 years old."

Yama, staring blankly at the body, didn't respond to Mengdie's question at first. It was only after being asked again that he came to his senses and nodded frantically.

"Really? In my last life, I didn't pay much attention to girls, and I lived in a temple since I was young, so my knowledge is a bit unclear."

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Yama chuckled apologetically. He was too astonished to speak. Or rather, his eyes were now only on that body, wanting to spend more time looking at it, not caring about anything else.

Mengdie frowned and ignored him, continuing to tap the keyboard at the operating platform. Numerous 3D displays in the air alternated with various data, attracting Yama's attention.

"Young man! How... how do you know how to use these instruments?!"

"Your official taught me."

Yama was stunned and then furiously pulled his official over, scolding loudly, "Hey! Did I tell you to hand over the control system to him?!"

The official, knowing he had erred, hung his head and pleaded, "But... but, Lord, to create the best body for this soul, we must fully cooperate with him! Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Hmph!"

The talkative official was cast aside, and Yama approached Mengdie with a forced smile, only to be interrupted by Mengdie's cheer.

"Ha! I can't believe you have such a great thing! This top-quality white jade, frozen deep in the Arctic Ocean, is very rare indeed!"

Arctic white jade, a treasure stored at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, constantly compressed by the coldest waters on Earth. Its color and glow are even more precious than Han white jade from Xinjiang. Unearthed Arctic white jade is smooth and even without any carving, a highly valuable collectible. Its texture is hard yet light, and despite being called "jade," it's almost as hard as diamond. More precious is that this white jade emits a faint fragrance, smelling of it truly makes one forget all worldly troubles.

Mengdie pressed the transmission button on the operating platform, and a smooth, fridge-sized piece of white stone appeared on a small platform connected to it. The entire space was immediately filled with a faint fragrance.

Watching his treasures being taken out, Yama's heart ached as if he had lost his own mother. He tried to maintain a smiling face and hurried over to Mengdie, who was carefully examining the jade in the holographic image.

"Young... young man, if you like jade, I can order someone to fetch you some Tang dynasty jade carvings! This raw stone is just a decoration; it has no effect on the girl's creation!"

"No effect? How can there be no effect?" Mengdie's hands were already on the holographic image of the jade, and almost simultaneously, tiny fragments flew off the jade, making Yama almost curse out loud!

"Young man! Isn't the girl already completed? What else does it do?! My jade! My Arctic jade! I was waiting to carve a pair of jade pendants when I got promoted—!!!"

"Completed???" Mengdie paused his actions and turned to look at Yama. But the glance was only a few seconds before he turned back to continue his work: "Where is it completed? I ask you, don't you think there are still many areas lacking in this girl?"

Lack? The demon, official, and even Yama immediately scrutinized the floating girl. Her waist-length hair floated weightlessly in the air, showing no signs of lack.

"Cough, it's the color! The color! Although the five-colored clay can also produce many colors, such synthetic colors always seem a bit unnatural. And, the skeleton made from clay somewhat lacks aesthetic appeal, so... Ah! There we go!"

Yama, following Mengdie's delighted expression, looked over to see the fridge-sized piece of Arctic white jade now cut into strips. Mengdie moved his hands, carefully incorporating the jade into the girl's body in the holographic image, making them her permanent skeleton! With bones in place, the slightly withered girl immediately became fuller! A faint scent seemed to still linger from her body!

"Hmm... 'Jade Bones' are done, now for 'Ice Skin'? Ha! Snow frog! Let's see... there! The snow frog ointment made from the 'Thousand-Year Ice and Snow Frogs' specially collected from Changbai Mountain!"

"Ah? Young man! This... this, this is prepared for the next Pantao Banquet as an offering to the Queen Mother of the West..."

Before he could finish, Mengdie's swift kick made Yama obediently shut his mouth.

"Hmm, extract its color and apply it to her skin. Done! 'Ice Skin Jade Bones'! Next... the lips!"

"The color of the lips should be pink... cherry blossoms, use cherry blossoms. Besides ensuring even color, they must also be glossy, so collect ten thousand cherry blossom trees. Every spring, take the first petal that blooms at the very top, fully enjoying the sunlight! Extract and refine these ten thousand cherry petals, taking out all the pink... Hmm, it's formed into a paste. Only so little from ten thousand petals... Never mind. Then carefully apply this pink to her lips... Done!"

"The remaining pink is dotted on the tips of her breasts, gently spread to form a small circle. The color of the hair uses black extracted from obsidian, known as 'Apache Tears,' the shiny black is perfect for this long hair. The eyes use black pearls, shining like stars in the night sky."

Various materials were continuously transported from the underworld's treasury and the human world to this place, after which their essence was infused into the girl's body. After Mengdie's careful embellishment, the girl was still the same girl, but her infinite charm shone like the sun in the underworld!

As for the materials from which the colors were extracted... they were treated as waste and discarded.

"Next is the voice. Hmm... let's see... how to deal with the vocal cords... Anyway, let's listen first."

Mengdie stimulated the girl's throat with microelectronics, allowing her to make some meaningless sounds while adjusting her vocal cords. Bit by bit, until her voice became soft with a hint of immaturity and sounded very comfortable, he declared it done.

Everything was ready! Mengdie clapped his hands, very satisfied with his masterpiece. His gaze moved back and forth between the holographic image and the real body, occasionally checking the data table, making final minute adjustments.

"Weight, 36 kilograms. Height, 158 centimeters. Measurements from top to bottom are 84, 57, 85. Hmm... no more flaws can be found. Done!"

Mengdie clapped his hands, looking at the girl's body floating in the air, again showing a satisfied smile. However, Yama beside him had already lost his wits, sitting on the ground with the support of the official and the demon, watching his cherished treasures being processed and then discarded as waste. The pain in his heart... how could an ordinary person endure it?
