CHAPTER 25 REST ASSURED, YOU!
“Ha?”
A single, flat “Ha,” please analyze Ye Zhibai’s inner emotions at this moment.
That short “Ha” encapsulated her chaotic thoughts and utter confusion. It’s truly remarkable.
Just now… Guang Yu seemed to have said something strange again.
Ye Zhibai shook her head helplessly and decided to take a nap.
She felt that this pesky fox might just be messing with her.
It would be better to get some rest, conserve her energy, and be ready to deal with her at any time.
But just as Ye Zhibai’s knee touched the soft bed again,
Guang Yu quickly grabbed Ye Zhibai’s hand with her slender arms!
“Don’t, human! You have to listen to me! Without your help, I would have to stay in the lower realm forever!”
“Ha…”
Ye Zhibai turned back coldly, looking incredibly cool.
Uh…
This pesky fox actually had tears in her eyes!
Tsk, even though Ye Zhibai had no luck with girls in her previous life, her gentle nature couldn’t stand seeing girls cry!
Fine, I’ll give you one more chance to explain.
Ye Zhibai stayed, sitting back on the edge of the bed, patting the empty space beside her, signaling Guang Yu to sit down and talk.
“Then explain in detail… and this time, no more weird words.”
“I’m not saying anything weird! I’m saying, you need to get close to girls…!”
“Going to sleep.”
“No, wait, woooo!”
After some tugging back and forth, Guang Yu finally explained the reasons through her tears.
“Getting close to girls… that’s just the process… it’s to make your soul fuller!”
“A fuller soul?” Ye Zhibai stretched her arms, “I’m already pretty full, you know. In my past life, I was poor, had no parents, lived in misery, and even got hit by a car. I… ah?”
She stopped speaking, tears were about to fall.
Guang Yu, sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her short legs and big tail, hurriedly said,
“See…! You understand yourself. The task those stubborn gods gave me is to atone for my mistakes. I forgot to give your body a soul before, so now they want me to make your current soul vibrant and colorful!”
“So… what does this have to do with getting close to girls… ahem, finding a girlfriend? There are many ways to enrich oneself.”
Does life only have to be about romance? Can’t noble sentiments enrich the soul?
Angry and cold!
However, Guang Yu mercilessly pointed at Ye Zhibai, exposing her.
“You pervert! Do you think I don’t know just because you don’t say it? I’m an omniscient and omnipotent deity! You say you don’t want to get close to girls! But in your past life, you prayed every day to the sky for a girlfriend! Isn’t this what you really wanted? I heard all your prayers!”
Damn! Praying to the sky turned out to be praying to this pesky fox!
Never believing in heaven again!
Ye Zhibai, slightly embarrassed, brushed off Guang Yu’s small hand.
“It’s… it’s normal for everyone to have thoughts like this, okay! And… please don’t casually speak out other people’s inner thoughts, it makes me want to strangle you, you know.”
“Oh, my bad.”
This was the first time Ye Zhibai cursed since her reincarnation.
But she couldn’t hold it in any longer, damn it!
Suppressing the urge to pull her fox ears long, Ye Zhibai, frustrated, lightly tapped her tightly furrowed brows.
Guang Yu glanced at her from the corner of her eye and commented, “You… when you frown like that, you look so cold, like everyone owes you eight million.”
“It’s not my fault, it’s this body created by your Mother Goddess… why blame me? So, to send you back to the celestial realm, I need to date girls?”
“Yes, yes! Of course, if you’re happy, that’s fine too! But I used my abilities before coming here to figure out that your greatest wish is to meet the right girl and have a sweet romance! Even though you’re in a girl’s body now, it doesn’t matter! Mental happiness isn’t about the external. So this is the most efficient way! Otherwise… who knows how many hundreds of years it’ll take for me to return to the celestial realm.”
“Easier said than done…”
It’s okay if she didn’t think about it in detail.
But the more Ye Zhibai thought about it, the more daunting it felt.
If I knew how to date girls, would my past life have been so miserable!
Do you understand how valuable this is, efficiency, finding the right girl and falling in love, it’s not that easy!
Being loved… was something the past Ye Zhibai felt was an ultimate life pursuit, difficult to achieve even in a lifetime.
Perhaps Guang Yu saw Ye Zhibai’s inner anxiety and confusion?
This human… was probably beaten down by life in her past life, inherently lacking confidence.
Guang Yu sighed softly and suddenly moved her short legs, kneeling on the bed.
She scooted closer to Ye Zhibai, her tail brushing against the bed with a rustling sound.
She raised her hands and reached for Ye Zhibai’s face.
Ye Zhibai instinctively moved aside.
“What are you doing…?”
“Naturally, observing the myriad phenomena.”
“Speak human language.”
“I want to see your current emotional state! Don’t move! You’ll mess things up!”
“…”
Can she really see that?
Guang Yu, a bit impatient, suddenly leaned forward, pressing her flat chest against the slight curve of Ye Zhibai’s body.
Her forehead… also rested against Ye Zhibai’s forehead.
Ye Zhibai’s eyes widened in shock! She didn’t understand why this creature suddenly got so close!
At such a close distance… Ye Zhibai could even hear Guang Yu’s warm breaths.
She had a faint scent of milk, a very youthful feeling.
Guang Yu, in a duck-sitting position, rubbed her small feet against the bed, pressing them against Ye Zhibai’s thigh.
She slowly closed her eyes, cupping Ye Zhibai’s cheeks as if feeling something.
“Human… don’t move, I need a bit more time.”
“Oh…”
Ye Zhibai was stunned.
Each time Guang Yu’s fluffy tail swayed and brushed against Ye Zhibai’s calf, it brought a ticklish sensation.
Ye Zhibai tried to relax and exhaled a breath of air.
It seemed… Guang Yu was really observing her emotional state?
Thinking about this… Ye Zhibai felt a bit helpless.
She had never hoped that she could be loved by someone.
It’s a wasted effort to look.
But…
A minute later.
When Guang Yu opened her eyes and moved her body away, she stood on the bed, first showing Ye Zhibai a small, meaningful smile with her little fangs, then said something inexplicable.
“Hehe… hehe… who would have thought, who would have thought, you actually have quite the charm with women?”
“What do you mean…”
“What else could I mean! I observed it! Just at this moment, there is a girl in this world who loves you to death, who will never leave you!”
“Could it be…?”
Even though their interaction was brief, the image of Ye Zhiyun immediately popped into Ye Zhibai’s mind.
Guang Yu nodded like a bobblehead, plopped down on the bed, leaned close to Ye Zhibai, and raised an index finger.
“Exactly as you thought! It’s Ye Zhiyun, your sister! Her love for you probably goes beyond any adjective like ‘everlasting’!”
“……”
Could it… really be true?!
From a straightforward perspective, Ye Zhibai had obviously felt the “intense emotions” from Zhiyun over the past few hours.
But… before Guang Yu said it, Ye Zhibai had always maintained a skeptical attitude about it.
Because, there was no reason!
This body used to be just an empty shell, without a soul, silent and mimicking Zhiyun’s actions.
One would typically feel annoyed by someone who constantly mimicked them without reason, right? How could she instead like it?
Moreover, from a rational perspective, Zhiyun is the legitimate eldest daughter of the Ye family, while Ye Zhibai, as an outsider, received so much love in the Ye family. Shouldn’t Zhiyun be very resentful?
However, Guang Yu still confidently patted her nonexistent small chest.
“Oh, why are you still thinking! You just don’t trust a deity’s insight! Undoubtedly, that Ye Zhiyun is already yours in life and death! Hehehe, if you ask me… why don’t you just push her down now! She absolutely won’t resist! She’ll listen to you completely, and you can satisfy your empty heart… let me report back to heaven early… ouch!”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Ye Zhibai delivered a karate chop to the pesky fox’s head.
What does she take me for? I’ve been a gentleman for over twenty years, although I have no money or power, I walk the right path and see things clearly!
Ye Zhibai clearly understood right from wrong, and she wasn’t that desperate…
She was grateful for Zhiyun’s care, but… had their relationship really reached that level of emotion?
Not really, after all, Ye Zhibai had only known her for a few hours.
Ye Zhibai looked down at her own body, the thin nightgown outlining curves, and looked up coldly.
A calm heart… naturally stays cool.
Guang Yu held her head, which was still hurting from the chop, closed one eye, and complained pitifully.
“You really hit me… I was just joking… Ah, of course forcing it won’t work. To fill the soul’s void, both parties need to have mutual affection. They like you, but you haven’t fully fallen for them yet. Forcing it wouldn’t help. So, you need to slowly develop feelings…”
Knock, knock, knock!
Ye Zhibai’s room door was suddenly knocked a few times.
Ye Zhibai and Guang Yu’s conversation had to be paused.
Soon, from the hallway outside, came Ye Zhiyun’s pleasant but worried voice.
“Sister? Are you asleep? Just now I heard… a strange noise, like something thudding on the ground, ah… the door isn’t locked, I’m coming in.”
“Wait…!”
The thudding sound must have been Guang Yu’s two-meter backward leap earlier.
Why did she have to jump around for no reason!
Ye Zhibai originally wanted to hide Guang Yu! Having Zhiyun discover her presence would surely be problematic!
But, there was no need for Ye Zhibai to worry.
Before the door opened, a very brief white light flashed before her eyes.
The fox girl loli had directly disappeared.
In her place was a tea-colored kitten snuggling next to Ye Zhibai.
“Meow~” (Don’t worry! The deity is flawless!)
At the same time, Ye Zhiyun pushed open the door.
“Sister? Uh, you’re not asleep yet. Eh? This is… a cat?!”
