Chapter 25: The Storm After Returning to the Academy (Part 1)

  I'm back, and this time I need to take a good rest. Lying down in my dormitory, I quietly reflect on the past, it seems like so many things have happened since I arrived in the underworld, many of which I still don't understand, if only I could be imprisoned again. Ah, yes, that Jiuying.

  "Jiū Mèi, are you okay?" I almost forgot about him, don't know if he's out or not.

  "I'm out, thank you." Jiuyi appeared in front of me, but looked like she was very tired.

  "What's wrong? You don't look very good." I looked at him with concern.

  "You're not a ghost, who are you?" Looks like he's discovered something.

  I think since he has already trusted me so much and put his life in my hands, I shouldn't keep hiding it from him anymore.

  "I'm not a ghost, I'm just a soul out of body now. I am the Dreamweaver of the mortal world and have come here to cultivate."

  Jiū méi dā yǎn jīng, jīng yà de kàn zhe wǒ. Yì liào zhī zhōng, wǒ shì rén lèi de shì duì tā lái shuō yī shí hái jiē shòu bù dé.

  English Translation:

  Jiumei stared at me with wide eyes, looking at me in shock. As expected, the fact that I was human was still unacceptable to him for the time being.

  "You said you're a Dreamweaver?" He reacted greatly, his green eyes instantly filled with red threads, staring at me like that, or rather, not looking at me, his gaze seemed to be looking at someone else, as if he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

  "Yes, what's wrong?" I replied cautiously.

  "Hmm, nothing. What's that power inside you? It seems like it's been rejecting me all along." Jiuyao furrowed his brow as he looked at me.

  "That's called the Pure Sound, it hasn't fully merged with my body yet, and when I become stronger, it will disappear. It belongs to Yue, the Music God of the Divine Realm, and I was able to obtain it due to a coincidence." I chuckled, feeling relaxed around him, at least when I was in the Underworld, he would be by my side like a prisoner, and I could talk to him whenever I wanted.

  "You still have things from the divine realm, it seems you're not simple at all. You're really like a riddle, with many different aspects." He also smiled slightly and said.

  "The sound of purity, you may not be used to it now, but after a while, it's fine. My Warcraft was very resistant to him at first, but now it's much better, and he also got many benefits, maybe you can get his power too. As for what you said I'm like an enigma, actually I think I'm simple, just ask me directly if there's anything you want to know, I'll definitely tell you."

  "Aren't you afraid I'll cheat you?"

  "Don't be afraid, because you're Jiuyao." Heaven, I'm not even familiar with him, where did this strange sentence come from? I could only smile awkwardly.

  Jiuyao was taken aback for a moment, he let out a sigh and looked at me with a hint of sadness, as if he had thought of something again. In fact, at this moment, Jiuyao's memory began to recall the girl who brought him warmth...

  "Can you tell me your name now?"

  "My name is Jiuyue."

  "Jiǔ mèi? Hehe, zhēn hǎo xiào, jiǔ mèi."

  Translation:

  "Sister nine? Haha, really funny, sister nine."

  "This name is now known only to you, don't laugh, Dad and Mom are no longer here."

  "Alright, from now on I'm the only one who can call you by your name, no one else is allowed."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Aren't you afraid of me? They're all afraid of me, so they want to kill me."

  "What's there to be afraid of."

  "When I transform, I get really crazy, aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

  "Don't worry, you're the Ninth Charmer after all."

  ……

  "Hey, what's wrong with you?" I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of Jiu Mei's eyes, how could she be stunned like this, wasn't she foolish?

  "Huh? Nothing, I... , there's a sound coming from over here, I'll head back first." Jiū Mèi seemed like he was about to say something but was cut off, but it didn't matter, there would be plenty of time to chat with him later.

  "Xi Meng, I'm here, open the door quickly." Hehe, it's Xiao Pu, I knew she would rush over at the first moment.

  "Xiao Pu, it's been so long since we last met, you've missed me that much?" Looking at Xiao Pu who hugged me as soon as the door opened, I couldn't help but feel helpless.

  "What's wrong with you? You've been gone for almost half a year, and this is still short."

  "What? It's been so long."

  "How was your day, anyway? Honestly, the new students sent by the school this time are less than 10. I also wanted to go, but it's really boring in college, and I can't talk to them for a few sentences." Xiao Pu pouted, looking wronged. I know that most colleges here are very utilitarian, and Xiao Pu's personality doesn't fit with them either.

  "Alright, I'm back, aren't I?"

  "Ah, it's great that you're back. Hehe. Oh, right, I almost forgot the important thing, my mentor asked me to find you and bring you over."

  I said how did this little Pu know so quickly, it turned out that the mentor told her. "What's going on?"

  "I don't know either, probably just asking around, or maybe talking about this match."

  "Let's go." I closed the door and strolled along with Xiaopu, chatting as we walked, telling her about Dream City, of course without mentioning anything about Jiumei.

  "Xi Meng, look over there, what's going on? So many students are surrounding us." Xiao Pu pointed to our right front.

  "Oh, I know, that's the arena. The school encourages students to compete with each other, as long as there are no injuries or deaths. Let's go take a look," she continued.

  "Never mind, Xiao Pu, the instructor is still waiting."

  "Hey, it's okay, the instructor just said don't rush, let you go when you're free, the instructor is so nice. Come on, let's take a look, this isn't something that happens often." After saying that, she pulled me along and rushed over, not very tall but with quite some strength.

  Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the match was already over and the surroundings had returned to calm. But when I saw the figure on the stage, I was stunned - wasn't that Ginsei-senpai? His opponent should also be of senpai level, but he was already half-kneeling on the ground, apparently injured.

  "I'm telling you, with your level, how can you compare to Silver Moon? You'd better give up on chasing me, and take a good look at your own abilities." It was Huo Shan, who jumped onto the stage with excitement, linking her arm with Silver Moon's left arm, proudly looking at the injured male student.

  "This is the last time, if you're still bothering me with such trivial matters, then whoever it is should not appear in the academy again." Yin Yue looked at all the students below the stage with a cold gaze, saying impatiently.

  "It seems I'm really not as good as you, Huo Shan. I won't compete with you for the position of captain anymore." The injured male student seemed to really like Huo Shan, and it was clear that he was heartbroken.

  Yin Yue slightly furrowed her brow and then said in a somewhat softer tone, "She's not mine, we're just friends." She put down the fan in her hand and instantly flashed to the bottom of the stage.

  The male student's eyes lit up again, and he looked at Huo Shan with excitement. However, Huo Shan completely ignored him and said to Yin Yue below the stage: "I like you, from childhood to adulthood, I won't give up!" Apart from being arrogant, Huo Shan is actually quite good, at least she's very brave.

  Yin Yue seemed to have not heard, and said to a figure: "Let's go." I took a look, huh? Ye Gui Xue Zhang was also here. I turned around, ready to slip away, but for some reason, whenever I saw him, I wanted to hide.

  "Xi Meng, where are you going? Wait for me." This little Pu, why so loud. I turned around, and indeed, Yin Yue and Ye Gui saw me. Should I greet them or not?

  "Xi Meng, didn't you go to rest? How did you end up here?" Yin Yue senior walked over and said, looking at me. Although he wasn't smiling, his tone was much better than earlier.

  "Xiao Pu said the instructor is looking for me and asked me to go over. No rush, just take a look. What is senior doing here?" As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a collective gasp from behind me, did I say something wrong? I looked at Xiao Pu and found that she was also staring at me in surprise.

  "Oh, nothing much, just a small matter. I and Yegui are going to the director's place, it's on the way, let's walk together." Yin Yue said very normally, looking at me as if we had known each other for a long time. At this point, Yegui also walked over, I tensed up, jumped back a step, and loudly said: "Ghost senior!" Yegui obviously didn't expect me to react like that, and was taken aback.

  "Haha, Ximeng, why do you always seem so afraid of wild ghosts?" Yinyue said with a smile.

  "No, haha, where is it?" I said awkwardly.

  "Let's go together." Yegui said to me. I thought it was better not to, just as I was about to speak, I heard Huishan's shout: "Ah! Ximeng, I want to duel with you!" I was completely stunned, look, afraid of what comes next.
