CHAPTER 24 GO AND STICK IT FIERCELY!
This headache was very peculiar. If one were to describe it, it was akin to being hit by a car, thrown through the air, landing headfirst, and having your skull shatter on the spot.
Don’t ask how Ye Zhibai knew this because it was an actual experience from her previous life.
The pain surged.
But this sensation did not last long.
The headache gradually subsided. Just as Ye Zhibai was confused, not knowing what had happened, and was about to lower her hand from her head…
She suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Because… an expansive scene, like a movie playing, appeared in her mind.
Shrouded in mist… dreamlike and illusory.
It didn’t resemble anything from this world, abstract, yet incredibly real.
In a space that couldn’t be described as either resplendent or plain, countless orbs of light converged, and numerous majestic, echoing voices resounded in the sky.
All were those harsh, electronic-sounding voices!
“As a god, how could you not investigate, committing such a grave mistake. Thus, your divine powers are stripped, and you are sent to the human world to practice. When you fully comprehend and correct your mistake, it will be the day you return to your divine status.”
What did this mean…
Guang Yu… did she make some grave mistake as a deity?
At the same time, a strong sense of unease seamlessly connected to the depths of Ye Zhibai’s heart.
Making her feel utterly despairing at times!
As if… a child who made a mistake, but not a big one, was abandoned and expelled from home by their parents.
No matter how much they tried to explain, shouting themselves hoarse, there was no way to recover.
Ye Zhibai had no parents, so she didn’t understand…
But at this moment, she was sharing Guang Yu’s memories.
—This was Guang Yu’s subjective feeling at that time.
Helpless, pitiful, and aggrieved.
It felt as if a long time had passed…
But when Ye Zhibai gasped for breath and recovered from her fright, she almost let it slip just now.
Ye Zhibai raised her head slightly, “Can you tell me the reason…?”
“Why do you have so many questions? I told you it has nothing to do with you. Ah, you’re so annoying. If I had known, I wouldn’t have shared emotions with you to save trouble…”
“The reason…”
“Not telling.”
“The reason…”
“…”
The pesky fox didn’t know that humans could be so persistent.
Guang Yu awkwardly blew a whistle that made no sound, her gaze drifting elsewhere, refusing to speak.
But… Ye Zhibai’s hand was slowly approaching Guang Yu’s ear again, wasn’t it…?
Guang Yu jumped two meters back!
At the same time, she covered her ears with her hands.
“Stop!! No touching, only talking! Keep two meters away from me!”
“Then tell me… the reason.”
“Alright, alright!! You’re driving me crazy! Fine, I’ll tell you!”
The pesky fox finally gave in.
She sat cross-legged on the floor, hugging her big tail and pouting.
“Twenty years ago, the one responsible for placing the shell of your body in the human world… was me.”
“This was… your responsibility?”
“Ahaha… yes.”
Guang Yu suddenly looked up at the ceiling.
The next words came out almost emotionlessly.
“Gods have times when they are careless… uh… Mother Goddess instructed me to place your body in the mortal world and said I must create a soul…! But I forgot! Hmph… but what’s the big deal about not having a soul… didn’t you live well enough… more or less…?”
More or less my foot! This idiotic shell of mine was hit by a car and became a vegetative state!
After a pause, Guang Yu sighed again, “The more I thought about it, the more dangerous it seemed… What if Mother Goddess found out, wouldn’t I be chopped into pieces! After twenty years… I happened to come across you, this unlucky… ahem, lucky star. I thought I could quietly use your soul to fill in the gap, and no one would be the wiser, then everything would be fine!”
At this point, Guang Yu suddenly went berserk, anxiously scratching her hair with her small hands and pointed at Ye Zhibai, growling.
“After all! Ye Zhibai! Damn human!! This is all your fault! If you had obediently let your soul enter this body, it would have been over! We would have lived in peace! But no, you just had to go and shout! Screaming ‘pesky light orb’ this, ‘pesky light orb’ that! Mother Goddess happened to be checking in! As soon as she heard something was up, she caught me on the spot and dragged all the past issues into the open! Do you know how annoying you are!”
“My fault?!”
Ye Zhibai pointed to herself, blinking her eyes in shock.
Living long enough really means seeing everything.
This is just too funny!
Ye Zhibai felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
So… Guang Yu was demoted for this reason?!
In other words, at the last moment of her previous life, Ye Zhibai accidentally managed to report this pesky deity successfully!
It all happened!
By a twist of fate… Ye Zhibai’s deep grudge for being turned into a girl was actually avenged a long time ago!
However…
As mentioned earlier, she didn’t harbor much resentment toward Guang Yu, and besides… she empathized with Guang Yu’s current situation.
She really was like a drenched cat… stubborn yet undeniably fragile.
Being without family and feeling lost is very painful.
Fellow sufferers, whether humans or gods, share the same fate.
When Ye Zhibai looked over again, her eyes, once frosty, now held a steely determination.
“Guang Yu… you are now, after all, my cat… ahem, I mean, you came to see me. This means… I can help you, right?”
Guang Yu stopped jumping around at these words.
She pouted arrogantly and turned her head away.
“It’s not just that you can help… Whether I can return to my divine status, though it pains me to admit it… depends entirely on you.”
“Really… is there anything… I can do to help you?”
“Of course.”
Ye Zhibai had hoped to do something meaningful in this life.
And help the pesky deity return to the celestial realm!
However, Guang Yu’s next words left Ye Zhibai dumbfounded!
“If you want to help me get back! Then you have to work hard at falling in love with cute girls! True mutual admiration kind of love!”
“Huh…?”
Guang Yu thought to herself, did she not make it clear enough just now?
So, the pesky deity, using her limited knowledge, confidently smiled and gave Ye Zhibai a thumbs up.
“So…! Go find a cute girl you like, and get really close!”
