Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Unreasonable Affection_1
Just as Qin Sisi was feeling disappointed, Ye You remarked from the side, "Go look for him first, and we’ll talk about the next steps once you have so results."
Lan Di nodded and folded up the piece of paper, "Alright, I’ll investigate first. Once we have a certainty, we will discuss further."
"Thank you," Qin Sisi responded politely despite her low spirits.
With a wave of his hand and a smile on his face, Lan Di returned to his original spot, his figure vanished without a trace.
Qin Sisi stared at the spot where Lan Di had disappeared and sighed in frustration.
Ye You, who was perched on her shoulder, quietly comforted her, "Don’t worry, there is always a solution."
Qin Sisi managed to squeeze a smile at Ye You before hugging him into her arms.
All they could do now was to wait patiently.
In the early dawn, Qin Sisi received a ssage from Lan Di. The situation was indeed bleak.
According to Lan Di’s ssage, Han Zhikun’s ghost had indeed followed the ssenger of Death to the Yin realm, leaving no trace of his presence in the human world any longer.
Qin Sisi handed her phone to Ye You and said with a sigh of disappointnt, "Liu Ying’s Soul Power seems beyond our grasp now."
After reading the ssage, Ye You was silent for a mont, then suddenly proposed, "Let’s make a trip to the Yin realm."
Shocked, Qin Sisi exclaid, "What did you just say? Isn’t that place only for the dead?"
Ye You shook his head slightly and clarified, "Not only the dead can enter, but only spirits can. The physical body is what cannot go."
Qin Sisi looked down at her own body, puzzled, and asked, "So are we considered a combination of body and spirit at the mont? It seems that doesn’t et the requirents."
Ye You gazed deeply into Qin Sisi’s eyes and spoke seriously, "What I ant was, the soul leaving the body to go to the Yin realm."
The implications of Ye You’s words completely astonished Qin Sisi. After a long pause, she gently asked, "You an, soul detachnt?"
"Yes." Ye You nodded affirmatively.
Qin Sisi’s mind was in a whirl and she hesitated before asking, "Will... Will we die?"
The mont she asked this question, Qin Sisi instantly regretted it.
If they would die, Ye You wouldn’t have suggested this plan in the first place, right?
Was it because she was shocked by Ye You’s frightening suggestion that her brain couldn’t keep up and she blurted out this question? Would Ye You think she’s afraid of dying?
Qin Sisi surreptitiously glanced at Ye You and couldn’t help but blush slightly.
Seeing Qin Sisi’s sowhat embarrassed expression, a faint smile appeared in Ye You’s serious eyes, he quietly explained, "The soul cannot return to the body after leaving it for seven days, at which point the body would die. But we won’t wait that long."
Qin Sisi chid in, "Right, Liu Ying only gave us three days. We must return by midnight on the twelfth day of the third month."
"So we won’t die." As Ye You spoke, he gently ruffled Qin Sisi’s hair. Their story hadn’t officially begun yet; how could they let it end so soon?
Both of them have a full life to live. They should live it well.
However, they weren’t able to contact Lan Di during the day, wasting a whole day.
Thinking about their soul’s upcoming journey into the Yin realm that night, Qin Sisi was, understandably, sowhat restless and unable to focus on practicing her magic.
Ye You understood her feelings and suggested she take a day to rest.
In the late hours of the tenth of March, Qin Sisi once again burned the yellow paper endowed with Spiritual Power, summoning Lan Di who was torn between his feelings.
On one hand, he was fascinated with Ye You’s spiritual power because it could continually enhance his own, significantly increasing his influence in the Yin realm.
On the other hand, he knew the current situation was a difficult one to handle. If Ye You and Qin Sisi were really planning to enter the Yin realm, it would be...
As soon as Qin Sisi saw Lan Di appear, she firmly said, "We’ve made our decision - we’re going to the Yin realm."
Although he had guessed as much, Lan Di wailed and said with a helpless look, "Sisi, have you thought this through? The Yin realm is not a playground!"
Ye You went straight to the point coldly, "I have a way to achieve soul detachnt, your task is to guide us."
In a whining voice, Lan Di complained, "Mr. Black Cat...sir, do you think we’re going on a trip?! It’s very dangerous for living souls to enter the Yin realm. What if..."
"There won’t be any ’what if’ situations," Ye You cut him off, "if I’m confident enough to go, then I’m confident enough to return."
With no other choice, Lan Di turned to Qin Sisi, "Black Cat, I know you’re capable, but you have to take Sisi’s wellbeing into consideration. Soul detachnt puts a significant strain on the body. It saps one’s vital energy. Don’t you feel any heartache at all?"
Ye You fell silent; this was his sole worry.
Qin Sisi tugged at Lan Di’s sleeve and said, "He has already told
about this, and it’s okay. The vital energy may be drained, but it’s recoverable. There’s nothing to worry about."
Indeed, Ye You already explained everything to her, including the part about soul detachnt causing harm to one’s Vital Energy. But he also has dicinal pills capable of restoring it. Once the soul returns to its body, the Vital Energy should recover within a few days. This was the reason he had decided to take the gamble.
Lan Di sighed, flicked Qin Sisi’s forehead and said in resignation, "You’re such a silly girl."
Responding with a laugh, Qin Sisi said, "Isn’t Pei Pei silly? I just don’t see what’s so special about you like she does."
Lan Di stood tall and puffed out his chest, thumping it with his fist as he claid, "You don’t see it? My admirable handsoness, my charm, my suave style, my remarkable abilities, my wealth, my tenderness - you don’t see any of these qualities!"
As she heard Lan Di’s playful self-adulation, Qin Sisi’s smile faded and she thoughtfully asked, "What about Pei Pei? Does she have any special qualities?"
Taken aback, Lan Di frowned as he started to think. After a while, he hesitantly said, "Well... I’m not really sure. She’s pretty, but not extraordinarily so. She has a nice figure, but it’s not extraordinary either. She is sotis gentle and sotis a bit temperantal..."
Lan Di frowned even deeper, a look of confusion seeping into his eyes as he wasn’t even sure why he liked Pei Pei.
A smile peeked from the corners of Qin Sisi’s lips, but she sighed quietly in her heart.
True affection needs no reasons, she thought. If only...
Ye You interrupted Lan Di’s contemplation, "Let’s get started. We have only a day."
"A day?" Lan Di was startled once again.
Qin Sisi echoed, "Yes, we have limited ti."
With a rub of his forehead, Lan Di complained, "Do you two think the Yin realm is just an enclosed room with all the spirits residing inside?" I’m telling you, the Yin realm is vast. It would take a full seven days for a spirit to travel from the Land Temple to Fengdu City. The plethora of spirits flowing into the realm in droves makes it difficult to locate a specific person, like the Han Zhikun you ntioned. Yet you think you can get everything done within a day!"
