Chapter 171: Do You Know Who Jiangli Is?
Time seemed infinitely stretched, and when Yibei opened her eyes, a familiar scene appeared before her.
The dark clouds above her spiralled into a dark infinite, twisting into a terrifying vortex; the air was dry and hot as if she were standing in a desert at this moment.
She found herself back on the rooftops again. The already dilapidated city seemed even more run-down as she leaned her head close to the balcony as if another disaster had swept through the ruined city.
The fire spread through the city endlessly, and the grey figures below scattered about as if they had nowhere else to go.
This is where I met that girl when I swallowed the Egg and also where Du Sixian harasses me every night, but
This doesnt feel like my own dream. Why am I here after muttering that incantation?
Thinking about the fight that had just transpired, she couldnt help but panic.
Wait! I was already fighting back, and now that Im here, wouldnt that mean that Im a walking sandbag for them to beat up? Let me out!
Suddenly, a faint singing sound could be heard nearby, and as expected, she saw that mysterious girl who appeared to her right after she devoured the egg.
Her hair was fiery red, and she wore a gorgeous, long skirt, sitting on the railing of the roofs balcony with her back to Yibei. Her snow-white legs hung over the edge and swayed gently with her song.
The moment she looked at the girl, she stopped singing and turned around with a big smile on her face: Long time no see!
Yibei frowned. The girl seemed seriously injured despite her carefree appearance; her delicate hands, legs, and right eye were all wrapped in bandages, and a cane was right by her side.
Strangely enough, Yibei felt that the cane was reminiscent of Jianglis own cane, but the silver-white decoration on the top of the cane was heavily damaged, so she couldnt confirm it.
Youre finally here! the girl said, breaking the silence. If you hadnt come, Id thought youd be dead by now.
Thats a rude greeting, Yibei pouted. Im alive and well! How could I die? And look at youyoure the one wrapped in bandages! Shouldnt you be worried about yourself?
Judging by how rude this girl was, it wasnt a surprise that she got beat up!
Whatever, she smiled as she waved her hand in front of her. Ive been waiting for you here for so long. Why havent you come to me? Am I not powerful? Do you not need me? I mean, its not a bad thing if you dont need me; its just forget it.
The girl thought that it was good that Yibei was able to come into this realm. If she could come here, it means that she has power.
Well, for one, I fear dyingspeaking of which, can you kick me back into the real world? I have a lot of things to take care of!
Yibei was well aware of the power lying dormant within her body, but she was afraid of dying. Coupled with what Jiangli and Jumeng told her, she would shudder in fear the more she thought about it.
Is this a good thing, though? she wondered. I dont want them to harass me nightly like Du Sixian does.
However, its good to know about other potential psychics near me. I can get to know their abilities and prepare accordingly!
Alright, ready? The first person is Su Yigan, and
Wait! Who?
Su Yigan You should know this kid by now, right? The girl eyed her. He may be an idiot now, but hell be powerful in the future! But I dont know how to talk to boys, so youll have to do the heavy lifting. And dont sell your body to him!
Listen, Im not selling my body, even if you didnt mention it, and I dont even know who this Su Yigan is!
For real? All he does is yell about how hes the greatest protagonist of all! You should have encountered him on the first day of university!
First day?
Could it be that senior who lives in a dorm with his boyfriend and sells beds?
Listen, I really dont know who Su Yigan is Maybe I can go around and ask for him.
Thats awkward, the girl said, scratching her head. What about Zhang Yijing?
Dont know them either.
What?
I have, but to my knowledge, theyre dead.
Dead?
The girl was visibly confused and seemed hesitant to speak now.
Is is that bad? I promise you, I have never heard of the people you mentioned to me. Yibei expressed.
Yibei was worried, too. If these were the best candidates to become her dependents, and theyre all people she doesnt know, wouldnt that mean that shes in deep trouble?
No, no, maybe its a good thing that you dont know them, the girl said.
Because it may mean that things have taken a different turn.
The girl suddenly remembered something and looked at Yibei: Then, do you know who Jiangli is?
