“Ugh!” Shengnan let out a long sigh, opened the window, and gazed outside. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “That kid really knows how to enjoy life! Just look at all these lush trees, fruit-filled gardens, and swirling mist—it’s no different from a fairyland!”
Leng Xue: I once saw in an ancient book that before the Abyssal Rifts descended, scenery like this was everywhere in Huaxia. Anyone could see it!
“If only we could go out. Maybe I could even bring back a girl and end that Huang Qian kid’s virginity ahead of schedule.” Shengnan kept propping up her cheek, looking rather bored.
Leng Xue: How do you know he’s a virgin?
Shengnan replied, “You can tell at a glance, okay? He’s in our body right now. Sure, it sounds a bit exaggerated, but with the most beautiful body in the world that he could ravage however he wants, he acts like nothing’s happening—totally calm and collected. I’m starting to wonder if he’s into men!”
Leng Xue: I can tell you with a hundred percent certainty that he likes women. It’s just that he’s currently in a tribulation period. He knows that casually getting involved with women would trigger unnecessary disasters, so right now all he wants is to avoid trouble as much as possible.
Shengnan didn’t have memories of his past lives, so she couldn’t help asking, “You’ve seen what he looks like after surviving his tribulation?!”
Leng Xue: I have. Through several lifetimes, only in the last one did I see his true face. But at that time, he was already on the edge of death, barely hanging on by a thread. Yet the way he looked at us had no restraint at all—completely bare and unguarded, as if he didn’t care about anything and was just enjoying the moment… So we really shouldn’t mess around with his body or cause him any trouble.
“Leng Xue, are you misunderstanding something? This man’s body belongs to me now, and I’ve never once thought about switching back!” Shengnan said softly.
Leng Xue: Are you willing to give up Dad and Big Brother? If we stay in this body, all of that will disappear. And Huang Quan’s family… well, that’s a long story—they’re not good people. In his past life, Huang Quan was destroyed by them.
Shengnan was immediately caught in a dilemma: “That…”
She wanted a man’s body, but she couldn’t bear to leave Dad and Big Brother. Even though those two were usually hopelessly foolish, the time she’d spent living with them was the happiest period of her life.
No childhood darkness, no need to learn expression management, no need to read people’s faces…
“You’re reborn, so do you know how we can switch back?” Shengnan asked.
Leng Xue was at a loss for words: I’ve never heard of a situation like this. What’s been swapped is the soul, not the body. This world does have Abyssal items that directly attack the soul, but most of them are meant to kill the target. Exchanging souls like this is the first time I’ve ever seen it.
“Since you don’t know, then I’m going to thoroughly enjoy being a man. That feeling just now—besides the sleeping main personality, you felt it too, right? Wasn’t it amazing!”
Leng Xue fell silent: …
Shengnan pursed her lips and smiled, “I used to wonder why guys would go to such great lengths and spout so much nonsense just to sleep with a girl once. Now I want to be a scumbag too.”
Leng Xue was displeased and directly seized control of the body: “Shengnan, rein yourself in. You’re using someone else’s body right now. We’ll need to ask Huang Quan for help with a lot of things in the future. What you’re doing now is just causing him trouble.”
Shengnan refused to back down and snatched control of the body right back.
Even Leng Xue was taken aback. Apart from the main personality, her authority was the highest. As long as she wanted to control the body, the other two personalities wouldn’t compete for it.
She never expected Shengnan’s obsession to run so deep that she’d directly wrest control of the body from her just to pick up girls.
“I don’t care…” Shengnan picked up the phone, ready to continue flirting with girls and strive to lose his virginity tomorrow—no, to lose Huang Quan’s virginity for him!
However, just as he picked up the phone, it was exactly seven o’clock, and a call came straight through. Seeing it was an unknown number, Shengnan was briefly stunned, then answered without a second thought.
As soon as the call connected, a sweet voice came from the other end: “Hello there, this is Miss Gu Na. I’ll be coming to see you for a date in half an hour.”
Then she hung up directly. Shengnan stared at the phone, completely confused: “I didn’t even give her the address—how is she going to find me? Could she be Huang Quan’s old flame?”
Leng Xue: Impossible. Huang Quan wouldn’t proactively provoke anyone before his tribulation. Even I never noticed anything unusual about her!
“Let me ask her what’s going on first!”
As Shengnan prepared to call back, he heard that the other party’s number was an empty one: “What’s going on? A prank call?”
Shengnan then tossed the phone aside, paid it no mind, and decided to go have some fun in the garden.
…
Meanwhile, outside the estate, an armored off-road vehicle was tearing through the jungle, handling the rugged terrain as if it were flat ground.
The armored off-road vehicle came to a stop in front of the thick mist. Ji Yiwen poked his head out and looked around.
Inside the armored vehicle were two Level 4 Awakened and two Level 3 Peak Awakened, making five people in total including Ji Yiwen.
“Brother Ji, are you taking us to the Abyssal Rift?”
“I haven’t heard of any assault plans recently, and no new Abyssal Rifts have appeared. You’re not requisitioning us without authorization, are you?”
“You didn’t even say where we were going and just dragged us along. If we weren’t good friends, I’d suspect you were looking for a secluded place to get rid of us.”
Ji Yiwen let out a long sigh and explained: “Your Brother Ji is taking you to make some money.”
The five exchanged glances. One of them, a girl in a black tight-fitting suit, said coldly, “Stop joking around. This place barely counts as a residential area, but Abyssal monsters still roam here. It’s just that this year, a strange mist appeared out of nowhere—perfect for killing people and burying the bodies.”
The others couldn’t help but grow wary of Ji Yiwen too.
“Si Lingfei, don’t go smearing my name. This is a legitimate B-rank mission. I brought you along just thinking we could all make some money together.”
Si Lingfei glanced at the mist in front of the vehicle and said, “You’re not thinking of charging into this mist, are you? Let me warn you—this mist is strange. It’s easy to get lost once you enter.
And don’t even think about treasure hunting. A Level 6 powerhouse already swept through this connecting area and found nothing. They almost starved to death in the mist—if a kind truck driver hadn’t passed by, that Level 6 powerhouse would’ve starved to death right here in this fog!”
“Where are your heads at? I’m not taking you treasure hunting—we’re here to deal with someone!”
Ji Yiwen said irritably, “The reason I’m in such a hurry is that the person who posted the mission… paid way too much!”
The others couldn’t help but show expressions of disdain—they’d been dragged out here just to deal with someone!
