Wu Yan spun around sharply, spiritual power erupting from her sword tip in an instant. However, in this pure white space, the spiritual power only traveled nine meters before dissipating completely.
“Oh, don’t be so nervous, fellow~”
The smiling female voice now came from right in front of Wu Yan. Cracks appeared one after another in the space nearby, then a delicate hand reached out, and like a mirror shattering upon hitting the ground, it completely broke apart. A translucent woman’s figure slowly stepped out from behind the void.
The woman was tall, with bright almond-shaped eyes that turned up at the corners, and a perpetual curve on her lips. Her jet-black hair was not tied up like most people’s, but instead gathered at the back of her head with a black hair tie. What astonished Wu Yan the most was her attire: a white short-sleeved shirt, denim trousers, and white sneakers.
This was the kind of clothing that only appeared in her previous life!
“What’s wrong, fellow? Dumbfounded?” The woman came up to her and waved a hand in front of her face.
“What do you mean by ‘fellow’?” Wu Yan pretended not to understand, watching her warily. She remembered the saying: “Fellow meets fellow, a stab in the back.”
But the woman seemed to read Wu Yan’s mind. She merely waved her hand, and the pure white space transformed into a modern-style room the next second. There was a sofa, a TV, a glass table, and even Coca-Cola.
“Rest assured, fellow. I’m already dead, so I won’t stab you in the back.” She sat on the sofa and gestured for Wu Yan to join her. The cola on the table opened by itself. “My name is Su Qingxuan. What’s yours?”
“Wu Yan.” Wu Yan couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last saw such things.
“Wu Yan~ What a nice name.” Su Qingxuan took a sip of cola. “You must be quite close to that woman in red, right? And that other woman in red… Wu Yan (Inner)!”
“What did you do to her?”
“Nothing.” Su Qingxuan tilted her head. “She was too noisy, so I threw her out. Don’t worry, she’s cursing up a storm outside right now.”
Hearing that she was cursing happily, Wu Yan knew it was most likely the truth.
“How did you know I’m also a transmigrator?” Wu Yan got straight to the point after sitting down.
“Of course, from your reaction to those squawking penguins and laughing cabbages.” Su Qingxuan smiled. “Those are modern creatures and memes I recreated from my memories. Only a fellow transmigrator would understand them. Especially when that blonde girl asked you ‘Odd changes even unchanged, sign depends on quadrant,’ that’s when I was completely sure you’re my fellow.”
“That girl who entered first was really startled when she saw these creatures.” As she spoke, Yu Qingyao, encased in an iris membrane, appeared on the table before them.
The sudden Rune Burst earlier hadn’t affected her at all; she remained in a deep sleep.
“Qingyao!”
“You want to seize her soul?” The moment Su Qingxuan mentioned Yu Qingyao’s subconscious reaction, Wu Yan’s mind jumped to soul seizing. It wasn’t unreasonable for her to think that; after all, in this world, there were cases of people using inheritances as a pretext to seize the souls of young Heavenly Favorites.
But Su Qingxuan burst into laughter upon hearing Wu Yan’s words. “Hahaha, soul seizing? Wu Yan, did you read too many cultivation novels in your past life? Her subconscious reaction became so strong after she arrived.” Then, as if recalling something, she tapped her head and said with sudden realization, “Oh right, she’s your junior sister, isn’t she? No wonder your mind immediately went to soul seizing the moment her reaction intensified.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I have no intention of seizing your junior sister’s soul.” Su Qingxuan stopped when she felt she had laughed enough. “If I seized your junior sister’s soul, I’d have to inherit all her social connections and such. I don’t have the energy for that.”
She raised her hand and waved it casually, causing a vast, ocean-like power to fill the entire space. “Besides, with my cultivation at the Immortal Realm, I wouldn’t bother seizing the soul of a Foundation Establishment Stage little girl.”
Although Su Qingxuan knew that this Foundation Establishment Stage girl was a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator in her previous life. It just showed that this world was full of hidden talents—not only was there her fellow transmigrator, but also a reincarnator straight out of a novel.
“I simply want to pass on some techniques and then live peacefully in my little corner of the world.”
“Wait, after your inheritance ends, won’t both the secret realm and you disappear?” This went against common sense in this world. Normally, when an inheritance secret realm lost its inheritance, it would collapse because it lost its reason for existence.
“Of course not!” Su Qingxuan snorted. “I’m not one of those old fossils!”
“Enough about that. Wu Yan, can you tell me how you came to this world?”
“Me?” Wu Yan thought for a moment, then slowly began. “I was trying to save a pedestrian who was about to be hit by a car when—”
“Such a cliché transmigration method?” Before Wu Yan could finish, she interrupted her.
Cliché? Wu Yan didn’t think so.
“Do you know how I transmigrated?” Su Qingxuan pointed at her own nose. When Wu Yan shook her head, she said seriously, “Then listen up!”
“I transmigrated purely by accident! There was a young man on the plane shouting that the plane was going to explode and that everyone should get off. I just thought he was crazy, but then after the plane took off, it really did crash.” As she spoke, Su Qingxuan couldn’t help but reflect. “If I had actually listened to him and gotten off, I might still be at home lying around playing on my phone!”
“Uh… my condolences?”
“No, wait, you actually believe that, fellow?” Seeing Wu Yan’s earnest expression as she weighed her words, Su Qingxuan said with a strange look. “Haven’t you seen Final Destination?”
Wu Yan shook her head.
“Huh? The Avengers? Avatar?”
Seeing Wu Yan shaking her head the whole time, Su Qingxuan finally couldn’t hold back. “Didn’t you have a boyfriend before you transmigrated? Didn’t he take you to see movies?”
That hit the nail on the head.
“I was a man before I transmigrated.”
“Oh, that explains it… Huh?!” Su Qingxuan initially had an expression like “case solved” upon hearing Wu Yan’s answer, but then she quickly realized something was off.
So she began to scrutinize Wu Yan from head to toe. Her appearance was beautiful, but she wore no makeup, her hair was simply tied up, and her clothes were quite plain. Come to think of it, she did have that straight-male vibe.
“You mean this is your first time being a woman?”
“Mm.”
“To have such a beautiful face on your first try at being a woman… How lucky!”
Wu Yan simply pretended not to hear Su Qingxuan’s muttering. Su Qingxuan claimed to be an Immortal, but from her behavior so far—apart from the moment she first appeared and when she displayed her power—she didn’t seem like a lofty expert at all. Instead, she came across more like a lively and cheerful female college student.
“I wondered why your luck with women was so good!”
Her luck with women was good? This was the first time anyone had said that to her.
“Your little junior sister, that girl in red, and that blonde girl—every single one of them has feelings for you. Haven’t you noticed?”
“It’s just friendship.” Wu Yan didn’t understand why Su Qingxuan was making her friendships sound so strange.
Wu Yan’s answer almost made Su Qingxuan laugh out loud. Friendship, she says!
“The inheritor I chose—though in the trial, she struggled to recognize her own feelings while bouncing between Wu Yan and herself—at least when it was just her and Wu Yan, the way she looked at Wu Yan was dripping with affection. Even so, Wu Yan still thought her junior sister’s feelings for her were friendship. People like this were exactly the kind that the previous life’s Blue Star internet talked about—the kind who, even when the other person has made their intentions blatantly clear, still says ‘Don’t joke around like that.’”
No, as a fellow transmigrator, Su Qingxuan felt she had a duty to help Yu Qingyao fully understand Wu Yan’s situation and her own feelings for Wu Yan. Really, it was purely out of a desire to help a fellow, not because she wanted to watch the drama.
