Chapter 120: My Guardian Spirit is Dead (6)
The next morning, Jiang Zhiyan woke Xie Yunzhi up promptly at six. Xie Yunzhi, with a sullen expression and an unapproachable aura, left the room. A few people who had intended to provoke her, seeing her expression and the floating Jiang Zhiyan, immediately shut up and ran away.
“What cowards,” Jiang Zhiyan said, speechless.
Xie Yunzhi’s lips twitched.
The lessons at the Xie family estate were even more sleep-inducing than her university classes. Xie Yunzhi felt like she was only staying awake through sheer willpower.
And she really didn’t understand, the things being taught weren’t difficult, why couldn’t the others in the class understand? She felt like she would progress much faster with one-on-one lessons.
This attitude further displeased the others, but there was nothing they could do. After a morning of classes, the Xie family instructor couldn’t help but look at Xie Yunzhi differently.
“I’m still alive, but my spirit is dead,” Xie Yunzhi said.
“Really? I think you’re quite lively,” Jiang Zhiyan said, circling Xie Yunzhi. “I’m going to see what the Xie family is having for lunch.”
Xie Yunzhi: …
“They’re eating quite well,” Jiang Zhiyan said, standing outside the kitchen. The System listed the dishes the Xie family had prepared, like a waiter reciting a menu.
“Indeed, it sounds delicious, I’m getting hungry just listening to it,” Jiang Zhiyan said. Ever since eating barbecue that day, she couldn’t stand not having anything to eat.
On her way back from the kitchen, Jiang Zhiyan ran into the Xie Family Head, and their eyes met.
“I want to eat too, prepare a portion for me,” Jiang Zhiyan said.
The Xie Family Head ignored her and tried to leave.
Jiang Zhiyan followed him, emanating resentment, and he stopped after walking ten meters, practically gritting his teeth as he said: “I’ll have someone arrange it.”
Jiang Zhiyan was satisfied.
The System realized that Jiang Zhiyan was quite shameless.
“Every meal,” Jiang Zhiyan added.
The Xie Family Head’s face darkened, he didn’t want to speak, but he had to agree.
During Xie Yunzhi’s lesson time, Jiang Zhiyan, using the same tactic, gained VIP treatment at the Xie family estate.
If the Xie family members initially wanted Xie Yunzhi to stay longer, they now just wanted her to leave quickly, taking Jiang Zhiyan with her.
Jiang Zhiyan demanded a high-quality jade bracelet as tribute. The Xie family tried to seal her inside it, but it didn’t work, and they were even beaten up. After that, they completely gave up.
After a chaotic day, when Xie Yunzhi expressed her desire to leave early, the Xie family didn’t object and agreed immediately, perhaps because they were afraid of Jiang Zhiyan. They said they would send her scanned copies of the books later.
So she booked a flight for early the next morning.
“Thank you for your trouble,” Xie Yunzhi said.
“No trouble at all, killing two birds with one stone,” Jiang Zhiyan paused. “The Xie family’s food is quite good.”
“But I don’t want to come back here again, I’ll just reminisce in my dreams.”
“But I can’t sleep.”
Xie Yunzhi paused: “Oh, right. Did you take the Xie family’s jade bracelet?”
“I did, it’s quite comfortable.”
“Then keep it,” Xie Yunzhi said. She had been wondering whether to buy a new one for Jiang Zhiyan, but then she thought, why spend money when there’s a free one? She had to save money.
As soon as she boarded the plane, Xie Yunzhi fell asleep, she was truly exhausted.
However, as soon as she fell asleep, she realized she wasn’t truly asleep, her body was asleep, but her soul was wide awake.
Buried memories resurfaced, and Xie Yunzhi’s expression twisted for a few seconds. She rubbed her temples, it seemed like she had done something bad, she had mocked other fragments before, as expected, they were all fragments of the same person, so their actions were similar.
But Jiang Zhiyan was really strange! Constantly saying she liked her, if it weren’t for her subconscious telling her Jiang Zhiyan was a good person, she would have thought she was a pervert.
The ascended Xie Liaoyi, seeing that almost everyone was present, started the meeting. Xie Yunzhi could feel a strong pull from her, she had clearly absorbed quite a few fragments, and she didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that her divinity was more stable than during the last meeting, even though not much time had passed.
“I devoured a world consciousness,” her first words were like a bombshell.
“Huh?”
Exclamations echoed.
“It wasn’t intentional, it tried to trip me up, probably didn’t expect me to have ascended,” her tone remained calm. “There hasn’t been any reaction from the Main God yet, I don’t know if they haven’t noticed or if they’re not around.”
After a few seconds of silence, another fragment spoke: “The Main God is also a god, is it possible for us to separate from the Main God system?”
“It should be possible, after our accident, we were essentially disconnected from them, but if that’s the case, what about Zhiyan? Do we accompany her on missions until she retires?”
“She should be able to leave, considering how often she destroys worlds, I think we can negotiate with the Main God and have them release her, and if we all ascend, but can’t take her with us, that would be too pathetic, we’ve already collected seventy percent of the fragments, and communication with most world consciousnesses is smooth, I can almost sense which small world Zhiyan is in.”
Xie Yunzhi sat quietly and raised her hand: “Then can you come find me first?”
“Is Zhiyan with you now?”
“Mm,” Xie Yunzhi nodded.
Xie Liaoyi Number One thought for two seconds, then shook her head: “I refuse, we’re working separately, there’s no need for both of us to be in the same world, and judging by your situation, you’ve caused trouble again.”
Xie Yunzhi smiled: “I didn’t cause that much trouble, it’s fine, after we merge back into the main body, we’ll all share the consequences.”
“That’s not an excuse for your recklessness, be careful.”
“I don’t want to be reckless, but I can’t remember,” Xie Yunzhi sighed again, thinking about the things she had unconsciously said. “I only remember to save money and become a god, I chanted Jiang Zhiyan’s name so many times, why can’t I remember?”
“Interference from the world consciousness is normal,” Xie Liaoyi Number One said. “Most world consciousnesses are relatively easy to communicate with, some try to keep our soul fragments, but it’s not a big problem, after I devoured a world consciousness, they’ve all become quite cooperative.”
“Haha,” Xie Yunzhi gave a couple of dry laughs, she was relieved, but her own pressure hadn’t lessened at all.
Thinking about meeting Jiang Zhiyan later, Xie Yunzhi couldn’t help but sigh deeply and pat her forehead, she hoped she wouldn’t say anything that would give Jiang Zhiyan leverage again.
Her consciousness retreated, and she fell asleep, only waking up when the plane landed. She opened her eyes and saw Jiang Zhiyan’s face floating in front of her.
Xie Yunzhi considered buying economy class in the future, Jiang Zhiyan probably wouldn’t float this close to her if she did.
“You’re awake?” Jiang Zhiyan asked, looking at Xie Yunzhi expectantly.
Xie Yunzhi nodded, looking at Jiang Zhiyan, she looked even more familiar now, but the more she tried to remember, the more elusive the memory became, and her head started to ache.
She looked at Jiang Zhiyan a few more times, feeling irritated.
“What’s wrong?”
Xie Yunzhi shook her head: “I feel like I’m so close to remembering who you are.”
“I’m your wife.”
Xie Yunzhi felt like Jiang Zhiyan might be telling the truth, but it was too strange without any context.
As soon as they left the airport, they were stopped by four large men in black. The middle-aged man leading them was wearing a Tang suit and holding a fan. He looked at Xie Yunzhi with a smile: “Miss Xie, please come with us.”
“Who are you?” Xie Yunzhi asked warily, taking two steps back. “I don’t know you.”
“My surname is Song, I just want to have a chat with Miss Xie,” he said, his smile seemingly kind, but his aura was oppressive, clearly putting on airs.
“What does your surname being Song have to do with me? I still don’t know you,” Xie Yunzhi frowned, wanting to leave.
“Miss Xie,” he said, reaching out to stop her.
The next second, Xie Yunzhi turned and ran in the opposite direction. The men in black quickly gave chase, attracting the attention of passersby.
“There’s a police station on the left,” Jiang Zhiyan reminded her.
Xie Yunzhi immediately changed direction and ran towards the police station.
If there’s a problem, find the police.
She knew who these people were, but she didn’t want to go with them, it would be too troublesome, she just wanted to go home and sleep.
Seeing the police, the men in black stopped, the two sides facing off, many people stopped and watched.
The old man in the Tang suit from the Song family arrived after a while, seeing the situation, he felt a headache coming on, how did things become like this?
He brought four men in black just to look more imposing, who knew Xie Yunzhi would be so straightforward, not even giving him a chance to explain properly.
“It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding,” he said with a smile, raising his hand. “I just wanted to invite Miss Xie over for a chat.”
“What misunderstanding? I don’t want to go, and you even sent these people to chase me, I don’t even know you! Blocking people at the airport, is that how you invite someone for a chat? You look like some new type of scammer!” Xie Yunzhi said, standing behind the police, agitated.
After Song Zhili was taken to the police station, his father was also brought in for questioning.
After returning home, Xie Yunzhi called her mother and then informed the Xie Family Head, and as Jiang Zhiyan predicted, the Xie family was very unhappy.
“They won’t bother me anymore, will they?” Xie Yunzhi asked.
“I’m not sure about the others, but Song Zhili will definitely continue to bother you,” Jiang Zhiyan said.
“Huh?” Xie Yunzhi looked disgusted. “Why? Is he like a leech?”
Jiang Zhiyan’s voice, floating in the air, was also ethereal, laced with sarcasm: “I did a divination, you two are a perfect match, destined to be entangled.”
“I don’t believe in those things,” Xie Yunzhi waved her hand dismissively. “Besides, aren’t you going to be engaged to me? As my future wife, if he comes to harass me again, just send him back to the hospital.”
“Future wife now, are we?”
“Isn’t that good? I agree with what you said,” Xie Yunzhi looked up. “But I can’t kiss you, I can’t touch you…”
“You can actually kiss me, but you’re too weak, wait until you’re stronger, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it.”
