Chapter 155: Revelation

Chapter 155: Revelation

Gao Yang couldn’t say anything. He couldn’t even breathe.

Thump.

Thump, thump, thump, thump...

So noisy!

Is that my heart?

He couldn’t hear anything but his damn heartbeat!

“Gao Yang, Gao Yang?”

Wang Zikai waved his hand before Gao Yang, breaking him from his reverie.

“Yes?”

“What’s wrong? I lost you for a second.”

“Oh, oh I’m alright.” Gao Yang did his best to calm down, and he asked in a low voice, “What did you say?”

Eyes and brows curved in joy, Wang Zikai jumped onto the sofa with childlike excitement. “Bro, is it possible that I’m not human, but god?” L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

“Huh?” Gao Yang was lost.

“Maybe I’m God!” Wang Zikai repeated, convinced.

“Why would you have such a...” Gao Yang was going to say ‘delusion’, but instead ended his sentence with, “...guess?”

“Think about it! I dreamed about eating all of you! Why would I do that? And doing it while crying? It doesn’t make sense!”

“Yeah, why?” Gao Yang felt like a clown.

“I looked it up, and the books said that everyone was born with sins, fated to suffer and devote everything to God so that God may save them.”

“Is, is that right?” Gao Yang stuttered.

“Since I’m the chosen one, it means that fate has chosen me to save the world!” Wang Zikai exclaimed while swinging his fist. “I may turn out to be God incarnate!”

“Makes...sense.” Gao Yang wasn’t sure how he should arrange his facial muscles.

“And only as God would I eat all of you.”

“Why?” Gao Yang had given up on thinking.

“Because your physical beings are sinful! And I, to redeem you and save you, must cleanse your bodies of sins and take you to the world of divinity!”

If Fresh Snow weren’t sleeping, Gao Yang would’ve given him a standing ovation.

If you ever take something out of this idiot’s mouth seriously again, Gao Yang, you might as well shit while doing a headstand.

“Well.” Gao Yang pretended to think about it. “Your explanation does make some sense.”

“Right?” Wang Zikai’s eyes glinted. “That’s the only possibility I came up with after days of thinking!”

It meant that the awakener’s body part Fresh Snow had bitten would be granted some sort of mutated ability. Of course, it could also be considered a curse. And as the one inflicting the curse, Fresh Snow could control the particular body part.

It made sense!

That was why Fat Jun had attacked Gao Yang the first time his bitten arm mutated; Fresh Snow wanted to eat Gao Yang.

There was only one thing that didn’t make sense logically, one thing that seemed implausible—the fact that Fresh Snow had suddenly had a change of heart and not only didn’t eat Gao Yang, but considered Gao Yang her ‘good friend’.

Why? It was a mystery.

The white cat in his arms, the girl called Fresh Snow, was acting like an obedient pet of his. She liked him and trusted him, telling him everything and promising to not hurt him.

But in reality, Gao Yang would’ve become her food if something had gotten even a little awry by a twist of fate.

Gao Yang broke into a cold sweat after going over what had happened.

The white cat’s ears twitched in alarm. It must have been woken up by Gao Yang’s racing heart. It slowly opened its eyes. They were emerald green and looked like the finest gems.

Surprised, it jumped off Gao Yang, seemingly in panic.

“Meow.”

Gao Yang didn’t understand what it was saying. Cautiously, he asked, “Are you...Fresh Snow?”

It meowed again and jumped onto the table to make it to the window.

With a final glance at Gao Yang, it jumped out after a second.

“Fresh Snow!”

There were so many questions Gao Yang still didn’t have answers to.

He pushed Wang Zikai away and rushed up to the window to look outside. The white cat was gone.

“Hmm...”

Wang Zikai twisted his body around on the sofa and, his butt losing purchase, fell to the floor with a thud.

Surprisingly, he didn’t wake up, but instead made a roll and continued to sleep, muttering, “I’m God...God...”

Gao Yang stood by the window and took some time to compose himself.

Then he grabbed a pen and paper to leave a note for Wang Zikai, saying he was off to school, before leaving Wang Zikai’s home.

...

At dawn, Gao Yang headed to school. Only then did he remember that today and tomorrow, they were having their last practice exams.

Qing Ling came to school today as well. Ever since Gao Yang joined the Qilin Guild, they had stopped talking to each other to avoid attracting suspicion. Their classmates thought they were having a fight.

Gao Yang focused on his test paper. Since his awakening, he had spent considerably less time on his study, but his enhanced stats boosted his ability to memorize and digest knowledge, and he actually had an easier time with exams.

Gao Yang played the obedient student and went home straight after the exams. He talked about his score and the list of colleges he’d like to enter at dinnertime, and for the rest of the night, he stayed in his room studying.

The evening of the second day, he finished the last part of the practice exams.

He was sorting his belongings and getting ready to go home when Niu Xuan and his two sidekicks came up to him.

Gao Yang frowned. What is this bastard up to again?
