The Spirit World

Chapter 304: Records of the Spirit World

[Let us meet again, is it a reward or a punishment? ]

【It’s life, dear.】

Colin didn't understand, but he kept thinking about it, and suddenly he understood something.

"If you become an immortal, will you be immune to all poisons?"

She looked at her other hand, and all the obvious scars on it had disappeared.

This startled her and she remembered her injuries. She touched her lower abdomen fiercely and found that all the edema had disappeared, the pain was gone, and she even had goose bumps all over her body.

She suddenly sighed.

“It’s great to become an immortal.”

"How do you know that becoming an immortal is good?"

"You should also know... Isn't it good to become an immortal?"

"I'm not sure... I've never become an immortal."

"Haha, you're really interesting."

Colin praised the boy in the fog generously. Although she could only see the boy holding her hand, the warmth given by that big palm was definitely unmistakable.

"What's interesting?"

She seemed to see the boy frowning.

"It's just... very interesting... I can't explain it."

She couldn't figure out what she meant by interesting.

Maybe he is very humorous, maybe he is very witty, maybe he is very weird, always contradicting himself and making no sense.

"There are many monsters in Bailing Mountain, but no matter how many there are, they are not as many as humans." He seemed to think that she would be a little scared when she heard about monsters: "You don't have to be afraid. Besides, I am here."

"I'm not afraid."

She was leisurely, as if she was not the one crying and shouting that she didn't want to die yesterday.

How to put it. Was it a spur of the moment move, or was it because she was too safe now?
Or was it because she was being led along and couldn't see the way ahead?

Is it because we can’t see the way forward that we feel so fearless?
Or is it precisely because the future is uncertain that this young man is fearless?

This is Bailing Mountain, a strange place...

Yes, the distant place that I have never been to...

"Hard to say."

She added: "Who knows? Anyway, I have already died once."

"Well, it's hard to say. I've died once."

He actually continued along with her words: "Come to think of it this way, we are really quite similar, aren't we?"

She did not speak.

Even though we had just met, it felt like we had been together for so long that every word we spoke came naturally.

This surprised her and made her feel that he didn't treat her as a stranger at all.

Or, the one who was saved.

"You live there alone."

She has completely recovered in the vast fog, and her body no longer feels any pain. She has gradually accepted that the fairy mountain is indeed extraordinary. It has such magical power even before she has arrived there.

"Ah."

Colin had no questions and received an affirmative answer.

"What do you do every day now?"

"It should be, help... help anyone..."

“Similar to…”

"Reward? Bounty hunter? Or maybe..."

"Living on commissions?"

"It can be understood this way."

"That's not bad either." She praised him: "Thinking about it this way, you must be very strong..."

"how?"

He asked again what.

"Don't you have to be strong to accept a commission?"

"Who told you that?"

"Otherwise, how can you make a lot of money?"

"I'm not planning on making a lot of money... at least, not yet..."

He stared straight ahead and walked. Although there was thick fog, he did not stop at all. He had walked this road too many times and did not need to care about the fog at all.

"No, it should be said this way. If you are not strong, how can you deal with those dangerous monsters?" She was too smart and knew that there would be dangerous monsters in the commission.

"Well... just consider me strong..."

Chang Yufeng didn't shy away from it either.

"Then... I can understand..."

Colin showed what he knew without disguising: "Those words on the doorstep of your house should be a very powerful formation..."

"That is a spell to protect against monsters."

"why?"

"Why?" "In the Empire, do people have to draw spells wherever they live? Are the monsters so exaggerated?"

"Doesn't the principality need it?"

"It seems... I haven't heard of it..."

She hadn't seen much, so how could she know all this? However, the principality didn't necessarily need to be so on guard against monsters.

"Ah... Then you really need to get used to these things when you come to the Empire. Just get used to monsters and ghosts and all that..."

Chang Yufeng laughed loudly, not realizing at all that he was saying something that would be extremely terrifying if you thought about it more carefully.

"Where I live is in the area surrounding Bailing Mountain where many monsters come and go. There's no village or shop nearby. I can't do anything if I run into a big monster, but I still have to be on guard against those sneaky little monsters passing by."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Colin interrupted Chang Yufeng.

"what?"

"If you're scared, why don't you live closer to Bailing Mountain? There won't be so many monsters there... maybe..."

She was a little uncertain, because Chang Yufeng didn't specify which monsters were more numerous...

Are there more bad monsters or good monsters?

"It doesn't matter if we're closer to Bailing Mountain, but I'm more afraid of monsters..."

He paused, but did not finish his words and continued walking.

Everything in Bailing Mountain was ethereal, and the calls of birds could be heard.

Colin almost bumped into Chang Yufeng and was pulled forward again.

"I'm more afraid of people. There's nothing I can do about it."

He finally told her the reason, but the pause just now made her a little hesitant.

"Monsters eat humans, but do humans also eat humans?"

"No way?"

Chang Yufeng's question was strange and stumped Colin. Some extremely bad memories and images made her break out in a cold sweat.

"meeting."

She answered firmly.

"Humans are too weak in front of monsters. It is too naive to just be afraid of humans' sharp teeth."

Chang Yufeng doesn't seem to think of himself as a human being when he talks about creatures called "humans".

However, he obviously felt helpless: "I am also a human being. Of course I know why people eat each other."

He sighed.

"It's much more tiring to get along with people than with monsters, so I refused to live at the foot of Bailing Mountain."

"Ah."

Colin nodded, seeming to agree with Chang Yufeng's answer.

"I was sold by my aunt."

She was serious and complaining.

"I can't imagine how many other children are being sold like me."

She looked a little pitiful and took a twitching breath.

Obviously, she felt his hand grasp her tightly and hold her even tighter.

“It’s really hard to get along with people…”

She repeated this sentence again, agreeing with Chang Yufeng's reason why he didn't live at the foot of Bailing Mountain.

"sorry."

She heard Chang Yufeng's apology.

This time, it was her turn to ask why.

"What? How? Why?"

The cowardly girl died yesterday. Now, she was being led by an unknown boy, and no one knew whether she would be sold by the boy again.

However, she already knew in her heart that she wouldn't.

Therefore, she felt that the boy's apology was extremely serious, which made her very unhappy.

It's not the kind of dislike, but the kind of like that cannot accept the harm being borne by innocent people.

Let her hold his hand tightly.

As if to comfort him.

"No... I said, I didn't carry you, I'm really sorry."

Chang Yufeng laughed heartily.

The mist is vast and seems like rain.

"You're not wearing shoes, and I'm letting you walk like this."

"You can carry me now, too."

The corners of her mouth turned up and she smiled crisply.

"There's enough time."

This is pretty much the idea for my next novel... "Tian Yu Jiang Liu" will have to be put on hold for a while...If I think this way, I will spend a long time writing the "Spirit World Records" trilogy.

One is about the enlightenment of youth "The Record of the Spirit World", one is about the romance of youth "Title to be determined", and one is about the darkness of adulthood "Tian Yu Jiang Liu"
