Chapter 35: I Want to Fly Higher!

Chapter 35: I Want to Fly Higher!

Huacheng, in a small park by a river.

The night was long; the garden itself was decadent but overgrown with shrubs and weeds that grew wildly, entangling each other. Mice scurried between the shrubs and walked through the shadows.

In the dark corner, something surged silently, twisting reality into various weird shapes.

In the public toilet in the corner of the park, the two gates were tightly shut, and rusty chains hung on the gates.

Suddenly, the dark and dilapidated park was illuminated with light

The mice fled in a hurry upon seeing this, and the next moment, a girls screaming could be heard in the sky.

F*ck! How do I stop this thing? Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t

Her shouts grew closer, and like a meteorite crashing into earth, the ball of fire crashed straight into a flower bed in the centre of the park.

Thick smoke filled the air, and fallen leaves and dead branches were crackling with embers.

When the dust settled, a slender leg emerged from the pit.

This is so disgusting! Bleh!

Lu Yibei spat out a tree root as she crawled out of the pit.

Back at the resort, all she knew was to run away. First things first, her new body

This was the perfect place, reallyan empty, abandoned park in an urban area. Nobody would see her.

Before this, she didnt know how she even managed to fly, let alone land, which led to her crashing straight into the flower bed.

Fortunately, her new body seemed durable.

Sitting naked by the ruined flower bed, she got up and walked towards the public toilet.

Standing in front of the mirror at the sink, she raised her hand to wipe at the dust that had accumulated on the mirror. The outline of a petite girl was reflected by the light of the fire behind her.

She didnt want to believe it but moved closer.

Her long, pink hair hung down her shoulders, and beneath her bangs was a heart-warming and petite face. Her pristine skin blushed with a healthy glow, and her scarlet eyes burnt proudly.

She was petite, not thin, and well-proportioned with hints of baby fat.

She stroked her bare chest, and the smoothness of it made her feel shame.

She is indeed a she, but she wasnt dreaming at all.

She blushed, and perhaps due to the shame, the colour of her hair gradually turned red, and the temperature around her started to rise a little too much

The stagnant water left in the sink boiled and evaporated almost instantly, which brought her back to her senses.

Whats going to happen in the future? She thought.

The girl in the dream did mention that the sun would restore my original appearance

But what was she not able to say to me?

She really needed someone to ramble her concerns with but found that there was absolutely nobody with whom she could share her struggles.

If Dad was still alive, he would just laugh and tell me not to worry about it.

which is exactly how Shui would respond.

I could talk to Sumi, but I dont think were that close Besides, the girl told me not to tell anyone about my new identity.

She couldnt help but sigh as she stared into the mirror.

She saw stars and felt like her bones were about to fall apart.

The patient I admitted two days ago was suffering from night disease again. Fish eggs were observed growing in his blood vessels; how scary!

Theres nothing we could do. The only thing we can do is help him relieve the pain.

He could hear a conversation approaching the window by her tree. She sat straight up immediately and disappeared into the dense leaves of the tree.

W-wait, whats that?

W-what? Dont joke around

No! Somebody was hanging on the tree outside the window!s

Alright, Im taking my leave.

N-no! Youre supposed to accompany me to the bathroom!

Theres a urinal in the study room!

Hearing the conversation below her, Lu Yibei couldnt help but apologize silently.

Eyeing the building carefully, her eyes narrowed.

What happened to me just now? Was it a barrier?

No matter what it was, she was sure that it was probably to prevent any strange things from entering the hospital.

She felt as if she was being segregated, but it wasnt until then that she realized that she had become a monster herself.

How am I going to get back inside?

And how did that man even enter the hospital in the first place? How did he get inside undetected and kidnap me?

Big problem. A very, very big problem, Bai Kai uttered in his car endlessly.

Ten minutes ago, Bai Kai arrived at the resort. He saw An Qing and Jianglis unconscious bodies by the fire and immediately took them back to a safe area.

He provided them with pure silver; the silver itself relies on Primordial Spirits to function, and the resulting liquid looks a lot like mercury. It was used to heal psychic users.

The two woke up in an instant, and after listening to their accounts of what happened, Bai Kai was full of doubts.

So, youre telling me that the witch spared you.

Impossible, Bai Kai continued. A witch needs to consume after she is born. There is zero chance that she will just let you go.

Are you doubting me? Jiangli coughed.

N-no. Its just abnormal.

Alright, alright, An Qing said as she wiped soot away from her skin. Both of us survived. Isnt that good?

An Qings right. Now, we need to find out the witchs motives.

The four of them nodded, but An Qing felt a vibration on her owl badge.

Everyone, she announced. We have to turn back.

What? Whats wrong?

No, no, nothings wrong, An Qing rubbed her forehead. We just

we left Gu Xiliu behind. Shes currently crying alone because everybody disappeared.

Everybody in the car was silent for a few seconds, and bursts of sighs echoed in the carriage.

T/N: Starting this month, Im going to try and see how I get on with posting one chapter a day. My other novels will stay at their release rate for now. Maybe in the future my other CN novel will go to a daily release as well, but since Im not as proficient in Korean or Japanese as I am in Chinese, I cant do a daily release for any novels I do in those languages.
