Told You I Can Turn Back Time
Chapter 125 Agreement

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Agreement

After burning a few more Great Sun Flame Dragons together with Jing Shiyu at the underground plaza, Lin Xing and the others walked back to the ward.

All along the way, Jing Shiyu was still joyfully talking about various imaginations of weapons and Daoist arts fusion, her eyes seemingly filled with dreams about the future.

Lin Xing thought, "Jing Shiyu seems very much looking forward to collaborating with this side."

Bai Yiyi thought to herself, "Enabling such an Evil Woman from a heretic cult to gain such a boost, who knows how many people in Great Zhou will suffer in the future. Once I take control of the Taiqing Sect, I must also collaborate with this side."

"Whatever Jing Shiyu has, I want the same."

Thinking of this, Bai Yiyi couldn’t help feeling somewhat proud, "Just let her show the way for me first, in the end, all will be overshadowed by my world-shocking wisdom."

Trailing at the end, Zhao Wanxi only felt mentally exhausted, the events of the past few days had been ridiculously more complex than the past dozen years of her life.

Zhao Wanxi thought to herself, "Is it because I’m a star crossed by misfortune, having committed countless sins, that I’m now encountering so many dangerous madmen? Is everything I get what I deserve?"

Jing Shiyu looked at Lin Xing and thought, "With him heading northward, his safety has increased a bit more."

After returning to the ward, a familiar sensation suddenly surged within Lin Xing’s heart, and he said with some surprise, "The portal is opening? That was quick this time."

Jing Shiyu simply smiled slightly and said, "This is a portal I had someone open."

Before Lin Xing could react, he saw a face, somewhat pale, poking its head through from the other side of the portal, "Master, are we going back today?"

The person who appeared was Jing Shiyu’s disciple, Shuting.

"Huh?" Seeing Lin Xing standing by Jing Shiyu’s side, Shuting cleverly said, "Got it, should I come open the portal again tomorrow morning?"

"Shut your mouth." Jing Shiyu’s blush flashed by as she said to Lin Xing nearby, "Every morning and evening, I have Shuting on the other side open the portal twice for me, so I can travel back and forth between the two places every day."

Lin Xing was taken aback, "You can do that! It’s like having a semi-permanent portal!"

Then, he considered more, "If Jing Shiyu can do this, then surely others from the Mirror World can do it too. The modern world is really passive in this regard."

"No wonder the official actions have been so aggressive recently; they’ve obviously been provoked."

Watching this scene, Lin Xing increasingly felt the shadow of war, death, and chaos creeping towards the modern world.

Jing Shiyu suddenly said in a quieter voice beside him, "Lin Xing, let’s also set a time, shall we?"

Watching this, Shuting, who was finding it interesting, suddenly felt a psychic force sweeping her back through the portal.

Lin Xing said, "You mean setting a time to come here."

Jing Shiyu nodded gently and whispered, "So, how about we meet here every ten days from now on?"

Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "Hmm, coming back every ten days to refresh my mental state wouldn’t be bad."

After saying that, he turned to Bai Yiyi and said, "Master Bai, I’m afraid I’ll forget the time; could you also keep track for me? Remind me to come back every ten days."

The Puppet Girl signaled no problem with her hand.

Jing Shiyu smiled softly, "Then I’ll leave first, see you in ten days."

Lin Xing nodded and suddenly felt the corner of his mouth slightly moist as if something soft and damp had licked it.

Turning his head and watching Jing Shiyu’s figure rush through the portal in haste, he slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

...

Mirror World.

Shuting looked at Jing Shiyu trotting back and thought to herself, "Smiling like a fool."

Jing Shiyu frowned at Shuting and coldly instructed, "Have all the items been tallied? Call over the generals from the army; I want to teach them how to use these new weapons myself."

Shuting quickly nodded in agreement and then complained, "Master, having to smear blood to open the door each time is really wearing me out if I have to do it every day."

She pointed to her somewhat pale face, "I think I’m close to losing too much blood."

Jing Shiyu frowned slightly, "It’s a problem."

"Here’s what we’ll do, you go find a batch of death row prisoners, take their eyes, and then have them take turns opening the door."

"Remember, not a word of this must leak out."

"The later it spreads, the more advantageous the upcoming situation will be for us."

"Right." Jing Shiyu’s face showed a hint of an amused smile, "Send someone to He Xi Mansion to check up on Zhao Tianlong’s current situation."

...

After sending Jing Shiyu away, Lin Xing lay back on the bed and kept scrolling through his phone, reflecting on the day’s experiences and decisions, feeling somewhat restless.

"I didn’t leave anyone there to open the door for me. I’ll have to wait till the door opens naturally on this side."

"But with Jing Shiyu going in and out so many times, she hasn’t broken that rule, has she?"

Lin Xing looked at Zhao Wanxi next to him and thought, "Maybe next time, I could have her stay on the other side to open the door."

Feeling Lin Xing’s gaze, Zhao Wanxi couldn’t help but shiver inwardly.

Worried that Zhao Wanxi’s ill-fated solitary star could harm the innocent, Lin Xing added another bed in the sickroom so she could sleep soundly in the same room as him.

Throughout the night, Zhao Wanxi tossed and turned restlessly, fearing that Lin Xing might suddenly fall ill again.

It wasn’t until the next morning, with dark circles under her eyes, that she told herself she couldn’t go on like this.

Though she hadn’t slept all night, she hadn’t wasted the time; she had thought long about her next moves and how to increase her chances of survival at Lin Xing’s side.

"That evil woman clearly has feelings for him."

Images of Jing Shiyu flashed through Zhao Wanxi’s mind. She then looked at Lin Xing beside her, "And this Lin Xing calls another woman Master."

She turned her head to look at the Puppet Girl and thought, "Whenever there’s an issue, Lin Xing often seeks advice from his Master."

"It seems that Master Bai holds the highest position in this team."

"And she feels safer to me than Lin Xing and that evil woman."

"If I can cling to her coattails, my status in this team will surely rise, and my chances of survival will increase."

Especially remembering the Puppet Girl’s invulnerability to blades and fire, her immense strength, and how she would casually refer to herself as Ancestor, with Lin Xing and the others treating it as normal.

In Zhao Wanxi’s mind, the Puppet Girl must be some old monster with accomplished cultivation, fitting the phenomenon of being Lin Xing’s master.

Thinking this, Zhao Wanxi’s resolve gradually solidified.

Once Lin Xing had left the sickroom, Zhao Wanxi suddenly kneeled before the Puppet Girl, exclaiming, "Ancestor!"

Bai Yiyi, feeling a stir in her heart and somewhat pleased, said, "What is it?"

Zhao Wanxi looked earnestly at the Puppet Girl, giving the performance of her lifetime, "My parents are worth nothing, I’ve long considered them dead. I’m grateful for your care these days, and if you don’t mind, I’d like to provide for your old age."

Bai Yiyi stared blankly at Zhao Wanxi; the Puppet Girl fell into a deep silence.

"This woman is cursed with the solitary star of calamity."

"But don’t I have Lin Xing? As long as I am with Lin Xing, I, the Ancestor, am immortal."

"If Lin Xing and this calamitous solitary star could both protect me, one on each side..."

"With such a pair of trump cards under my command, why would I worry about my grand ambitions not being accomplished?"
