Chapter 7: Borrowing a Corpse to Reincarnate
Oh. After a moment of surprise, Aki agreed and walked ahead, as if he had no objection to Jiang Hanyue's commanding tone
After Aki entered, he confidently asked to untie the white bath towel wrapped around his waist
Jiang Hanxue calmed down, trying to make her expression appear generous, peaceful, and friendly: "No, I want to leave"
Wait a moment! It seems I haven't done anything wrong! After entering the changing room, I just wanted to untie the towel
Is it possible that... my posture while unwrapping the bath towel is incorrect
At that moment, he suddenly heard Jiang Hanxue's cold voice saying: "I am not targeting you; I just want to be alone in silence..."
Jiang Hanyue could not help but feel a sense of awe towards this mysterious world. It is worth noting that even one of the Eight Great Sects of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Danxuan Palace, does not possess such formidable strength to indulge in extravagance to such a frenzied extent
Since Aki calls her "Bird Brother," they should be friends. Given that they are friends, it is natural that their social statuses are similar; however, why do Aki's words and actions subtly indicate a distinction in rank between them?
Even Aki, who grew up alongside Murong Kunpeng, had rarely seen this side of Murong Kunpeng.
Strangers should not approach, and acquaintances should also keep their distance
His reaction, akin to "submitting to adversity," caused Jiang Hanyue to slightly furrow her sword-like brows, and a hint of doubt flashed in her narrowed phoenix eyes
Even though her body has transformed into that of a man, her heart remains that of the cold, aloof, and untainted Snow Fairy.
He and Murong Kunpeng have nothing to hide from each other; after all, they are both men and have grown up together since childhood. It would be strange if they were to avoid certain topics.
However, just as he placed his hands on the bath towel, he felt as if the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped by several degrees
If it were a usual day, Akira would have carelessly asked why, but at this moment, he did not even dare to ask.
The electric door closed automatically after they entered. This was a small VIP changing room that had been reserved in advance by Murong Kunpeng and Aki, offering a high level of privacy. Once the door was closed, it was as if two worlds existed, completely undisturbed by the outside.
In "Liezi: Huangdi," it is stated: "I took a nap and dreamt of wandering in the land of Huaxu. The land of Huaxu is located to the west of Yanzhou and to the north of Taizhou, and it is unknown how many thousands of miles it is from the State of Qi, as it is beyond the reach of boats and carriages; it is merely a spiritual journey.
The man's voice that came from his mouth suddenly reminded Jiang Hanxue that he was now a man. The other party changing clothes in front of him might not have any lewd intentions, but even with this realization, Jiang Hanxue would never allow Aki to change clothes with him.
"Brother Bird, then, shall we go..." Aki cautiously wanted to follow behind Jiang Hanxue, but was deterred by Jiang Hanxue's cold, knife-like gaze, making him afraid to act recklessly.
Why have you become so clever this time? Jiang Hanxue was even more puzzled; what exactly is the relationship between this body she has borrowed and Aki?
To wander beyond the heavens is to remain still in body while the mind travels, as if experiencing the scene firsthand
Although Jiang Hanxue's current realm allows her to achieve the "Separation of the Primordial Spirit from the Body," she still lacks the ability to wander beyond the heavens. It is nearly impossible for her to perform illusionary arts in the depths of the Danxuan Palace, specifically in the Yinsha Cold Pool. Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that she accidentally fell asleep, resulting in her Primordial Spirit separating from her body, not only separating but also wandering beyond the heavens, and not only wandering beyond the heavens but also "Borrowing a Corpse to Return to Life"
She has no friends, so she does not know how to interact with friends, but fortunately, Aki and Murong Kunpeng are more than just friends
Even Jiang Hanyue, who hails from one of the Eight Great Immortal Sects of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Danxuan Palace, could not help but be astonished by the dazzling and exquisitely beautiful room before her
"You go ahead." Jiang Hanyue finally gave up on the high-end and sophisticated way of communication that relied on eye signals. Encountering such a completely clueless person who could not read her expressions, Jiang Hanyue felt a sense of frustration akin to trying to flirt with a blind person.
Jiang Hanxue followed Aki into the changing room, where the floor beneath her feet was intricately patterned and polished to a mirror-like shine, resembling a solid piece of yellow jade. The wardrobe, dark and smooth, seemed to be crafted from ivory, showcasing an exquisite craftsmanship that was beyond comprehension. The ceiling, reminiscent of a starry sky, featured several enormous stars radiating dazzling light, illuminating the entire room as if it were broad daylight. A full-length mirror, towering over a person and seemingly carved from a single block of crystal, reflected every detail with precision.
Jiang Hanxue coldly stared at Aji, her narrowed phoenix eyes flashing with a cold light, and questioned in a measured tone: "What do you want to do?"
"I... I was just taking a shower and changing clothes..." Aki stammered in response, and Jiang Hanxue's icy gaze made him feel an overwhelming sense of guilt, as if he had committed some heinous act that left him with sores on his head and pus on his feet
Aki couldn't help but shiver, instinctively turning around, only to meet the two "frozen rays" shooting from Jiang Hanxue's eyes.
The problem is that she herself does not know how she arrived here, nor does she know how to return. For the time being, the only course of action is to adapt to the situation.
This man's body has probably been unfortunate enough to be possessed by her, also known as "soul snatching"
It is truly rare for Jiang Hanxue, with her cold demeanor, to speak so many words in one breath, and even more so for her to explain to someone unrelated.
Struggling with the lack of rapport with Jiang Hanyue and not understanding his intentions, coupled with the fact that he had just flattered him inappropriately, Aki could only accompany a guilty smile and ask, "What’s wrong, Bird Brother?"
She believes herself to be generous, peaceful, and friendly, yet in Aki's eyes, she appears as Murong Kunpeng, cold-blooded and ruthless, exuding an overwhelming dominance while speaking to him. Especially those eyes, which usually curve like a crescent moon when she smiles, now squinting to reveal a chilling glare akin to a blade, instilling in Aki a sense of dread and terror.
Jiang Hanyue fell silent; she had merely dozed off, yet the cold and sinister pool transformed into a hot spring. The people in Danxuan Palace turned into disciples of the "Wenqing Dao," and her adorable and foolish junior sister, Xin'er, became this tall and strong man, Aki. Even she herself had turned into a completely powerless man. Had she fallen under an illusion or was she experiencing a transcendental journey?
In an instant, Aki felt as if the blood in her entire body was about to freeze. The cold aura emanating from Jiang Hanxue, the Snow Fairy, which inherently repelled others from a thousand miles away, made her seem like a cold iceberg that had never melted for ten thousand years
Jiang Hanxue had not even had the chance to ask Aki to leave when Aki had already understood the intention and withdrawn on his own
The tall and robust man Aki, who had just disappeared without a trace, suddenly reappeared and playfully said to Jiang Hanxue: "Brother Bird, are you thinking of changing the pool?"
With his head hung low, Aki dared not meet the stern gaze of Jiang Hanxue, his heart in turmoil as he repeatedly questioned his own soul: Look how angry Bird Brother is, what exactly did I do wrong? What exactly did I do wrong? ... What exactly ...
This is simply extravagant beyond reason
Is this ... ... just an ordinary changing room
As for dreaming, Jiang Hanxue had never even considered it, because ever since she reached the Spirit Communication Realm, she had not dreamed at all.
His originally imposing and righteous appearance, characterized by thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, now looks quite comical with his exaggerated facial expressions, making him a natural meme.
