Chapter 69: Soulless Body

"Ah, haha, what are you talking about? I’m no soul fragment or anything, I’m a machine called a system. However, your pig brain isn’t something that would be able to understand me, I’ll go now since I have some work to do."

Chen Yi seemed to be dodging the pigs question as he almost ran away, but Yun Shu’s voice sounded out again.

"I’m ready for the next mission. Give me the next fragment of memory before you return, Chen Yi."

The little thing seemed to be trying to hide something, and Yun Shu wasn’t interested in digging up someone else’s secret either, especially when it was clear that he didn’t want the others to know about it.

"Ah! Oh, alright then, host. I’ll transfer the memory right away, wait a little. But, don’t you think it would be best if you were to return to bed and start the process? If you soak yourself in the water all night long, I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold, and it will result in your delay at work!"

Yun Shu quietly looked up at the sneaky little guy who was fidgeting his hands nervously and looking in all directions except Yun Shu, as if he was afraid of getting caught doing something bad behind his parents back and getting scolded.

"Hmm, fine. I’ll do that."

After Yun Shu sat down on the bed, she leaned her back on the bed as she closed her eyes.

"During the time I’m sleeping, keep look for me and don’t try anything funny."

Yun Shu warned the sneaky pig who couldn’t stop grinning after he saw Yun Shu was getting prepared to sleep.

After hearing the warning, the look on his face turned grim as he looked at Yun Shu.

What am I? Your caretaker, servant or footman that you can keep ordering me around?!

This woman, wait till I get a contractor, you’ll see what I do to you!

Though he thought of all sorts of ways to make Yun Shu suffer inside his mind, he could only give her a bright smile outside when he saw Yun Shu looking at him with eyes obvious that she knew his thoughts.

"Ah, haha, rest assured Lord, I’ll be at your service!"

He patted his chest proudly, though the lying long nose was sticking out, Yun Shu didn’t pay any attention to him.

To her, he was just like a big child who tries to impress his parents in every way and is mischievous. There is nothing for her to worry about him.

"You can start now, Chen Yi. I’m ready."

"Alright, Host. Here we go!"

Chen Yi was also stern as he seriously worked, and in an instant, Yun Shu entered Bai Yunxian’s memories once again.

While Yun Shu entered Bai Yunxian’s dreamland, the pig’s face disoriented as he looked at her in disbelief.

!

This woman...

Just now, did her soul escape the body?

How could it be?

Initially, Martial Artists over Nascent soul state can leave their body at will and roam around as they please.

However, he could feel that the time and space her soul entered, although it was for a brief moment, he still detected the disorientation of time and space.

Obviously, she entered another dimension!

He pressed his hands over his mouth, yet was unable to hide the evil smirk as he looked at Yun Shu.

This is...

This was, way too interesting!

’Just how many secrets does this woman have? I can’t wait to see all of that one by one!’

***

Tianjin Academy, Class of History and Literature.

Bai Yunxian was sitting in the corner at the last row as he quietly looked down on his books and stayed silent, while the students around him were doing whatever they wanted.

Some of the girls took sneak peek at him as they gossiped within themselves, laughing and blushing in embarrassment.

But there were a lot of things going on in his mind which made Bai Yunxian feel a little distracted.

This time, Bai Yunxian was able to get out of the General’s house successfully with his mother. He even won the protection of the Martial Arts Union and a scholarship to study in this Academy, so that he could contribute to the union later on.

Though, rumors kept circulating around the Academy that Bai Yunxian came to study here through the backdoor... he didn’t care much about that.

However, things were going too much plainly and smoothly, which made Bai Yunxian feel anxious.

There was never a time when things were so peaceful, though he tried his best to keep the surroundings around him as peaceful as possible.

For instance, the Jiangshi subjugation of the Empire also went pretty well. It was all thanks to him revealing the point that he had a dream where he saw the future and predicted what will happen and how to solve this.

After that incident, he became pretty famous around the Empire, as well as in the Jianghu.

Though, Bai Yunxian wasn’t aware of the consequences he would need to pay...

Suddenly, a group of boys walked over to Bai Yunxian while he was distracted with various thoughts.

When one of them snatched away the book he was holding, Bai Yunxian finally snapped out of his thoughts as he looked up at the guys that were smiling sinisterly.

"Yo, what were you doing just now? You didn’t hear us calling ya’, so we thought we should come and help you return from your dreamland! By the way, what were you thinking about? Your crush or what?"

Those guys were obviously mocking him, Bai Yunxian could tell this just by watching them snickering at each other.

If he wanted, he couldn’t have ignored them, since Bai Yunxian didn’t want the big fish to come over. So he pretended along with them as he smiled shyly.

"No, no, how could it be? I... don’t have someone I fancy yet, I was just reminiscing something from the past. By the way, are you guys going to eat together? Today’s dinner is on me."

Bai Yunxian subtly changed the topic as he didn’t want to make it turn into something big, they wouldn’t be able to catch the change as long as he said something that they would love to hear.

At this moment, Bai Yunxian had enough money on his hands to throw around, so he used the money wisely and on times when he needed to use and handle the situation on hand.

"Oooo..."

"Woah! I want to eat Pearl cake today!"

"I’m craving sour foods bro."

"What? Are you a girl? Why would you crave sour foods? Haha!"

"I see, I see, so our buddy here doesn’t have anyone he fancies? There is no way I would believe that!"

"Tell me, tell me quickly who it is!"

Even if Bai Yunxian denied that, the guys still bugged him everyday in hope that he would spill something, or even a hint.

Because no matter how much he denied, his eyes eventually betrayed him by spilling out inexplicable emotions which only a man in love would give off.

"Come on, today we won’t let you off unless you tell us which beauty are you eyeing at!" Jiao Zhan nudged at Bai Yunxian’s shoulder as he teased him.

Within the Academy, after Bai Yunxian got admitted, there were no students who wanted to be friends with him or tried to get to know him.

At that time, this peculiar and over the top, hyperactive young star was the one who reached out to Bai Yunxian first, since then they became best friends.

Jiao Zhan obviously didn’t had any interest on Bai Yunxian in that way, and Bai Yunxian was sure of it when he knew that he looked like Jiao Zhan’s little brother that he left at home and missed very dearly.

This brotherly affection was something new to Bai Yunxian, so they became best friends and spent time together.

His group of pal also hung out together with Bai Yunxian from time to time, just like they were doing now.

"You guy, don’t force him to say things he doesn’t want to. We will see the person eventually when they finalize their relationship and come over to introduce us." Jiao Zhan shrugged his shoulders as he said them.

"Fine, fine, dinner it is."

The guys were disappointed after they failed to get some words out of Bai Yunxian, these guys loved to gossip too much, and Bai Yunxian couldn’t really blame them; since the time at the Academy was too boring for them.

Though Bai Yunxian went to the library often in the name of killing his leisure time, the guys were often suspicious of his change in behavior after he returned from there.

"Say, will I get to catch a glimpse of our future sister-in-law if I were to go there?"

"I don’t know if you’ll get it, but there is one thing I’m sure about, if you guys somehow get caught by that demon, you’ll suffer big time for sure!"
