Chapter 387: Laughing Secretly

The next challenge was doomed to fail.

This life is so hard to endure.

Yagyū Simozi ran out of the house, holding her head, as Guan Caizi pointed and instructed.

"Your mother is too strict!"

"Actually, she’s not that strict. It’s mainly because she doesn’t want to lose face in front of others."

"Losing face, slight lack of etiquette, where did we lose face?"

"Perhaps it’s because Sister Yagyū is Bai Wei’s senior’s sister, so we have to show enough etiquette."

"Did my brother help you a lot?" Yagyū Simozi asked in doubt.

"Hmm, a lot," Guan Ling responded with a smile… It’s the grace of rebirth.

He helped protect his crumbling little home and avenged himself, so this debt of gratitude will never be repaid in a lifetime.

Guan Ling, who has experienced a lot of hardship, cherishes her current life very much. Because of this, she always carries a grateful heart.

But what can a little high school student repay?

After thinking it over, it’s just her body. Don’t think it’s too vulgar, embracing with one’s body is a traditional performance skill that the fox spirit approves of.

The girls from Yingzhou in this era still value purity and chastity, after all, they belong to the Eastern cultural sphere.

It was only during the era of the bubble economy and rapid social development that people gradually abandoned these concepts and embraced a materialistic view of money.

However, Guan Ling doesn’t have much confidence in her poor and fragile body. How good can a malnourished young girl look?

A few months ago, she was skin and bones. After taking care of herself for these past few months, her body finally recovered. It seems like her body has finally received nourishment. After making sure she can eat enough, she began a rapid second growth phase, desperately absorbing nutrients. At such a young age, she has grown to a size six.

Guan Ling really hoped to stop growing up, but now that she switched into Yagyū Simozi’s body, she felt a long-lost sense of ease, as if she were her ten-year-old self again.

Guan Ling attended a school about seven kilometers away, which was a bit far, but riding her bicycle made it fast, taking about twenty to thirty minutes to arrive.

She also mentioned that she was working to earn money and contribute to some of the household expenses. Considering that ninety percent of the tuition for Far East University was covered by state-owned assets, as long as she passed the incredibly difficult written exam and interview for Far East University, she only needed to pay one-tenth of the tuition.

Yagyū Simozi didn’t offer to help with anything, tutoring her was already the limit. Yagyū Simozi’s understanding of Guan Ling was only at the level of a pitiful little girl. After getting to know her better, she realized that Guan Ling was doing fine, so she didn’t even feel sorry for her.

Bai Wei once praised Yagyū Simozi as a good candidate for sword practice, because a swordsman needs perseverance and to distance themselves from emotions.

Yagyū Simozi naturally had a somewhat aloof personality, or perhaps she poured all her emotions, including family love and romantic love, into her older brother to ensure that she could fully focus on sword practice and pursue the pinnacle of swordsmanship, pushing her body’s hidden potential.

If she didn’t have this personality, maybe she wouldn’t allow Jingūji and Hokusinn Kichyō to get close to her older brother. Yagyū Simozi showed a high level of tolerance towards familiar people. She also wanted to have Bai Wei all to herself, but reason told her that it was difficult for her to monopolize him. She couldn’t even put all her attention on her older brother, so she couldn’t expect the same treatment from him.

Yagyū Simozi couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic when she thought about these things, but she would quickly push that thought aside.

Her parents’ wishes were more important to her. Perhaps this wish was even more important than being physically close to him.

Of course, before the ending, she will definitely try to struggle, she won’t easily agree and compromise.

…

When she arrived at school, she went straight to the office, and saw her homeroom teacher, getting straight to the point.

Yagyū Simozi faced Guan Ling with determination, using her voice to speak the unspeakable words, with no room for negotiation, clearly making an announcement.

The homeroom teacher, a sixty-year-old veteran, was taken aback by the intimidating presence of this usually diligent and outstanding student as soon as she entered.

Then, Guan Ling, with Yagyū Simozi by her side, came in to speak kindly, while also presenting her student ID from Far East University.

The homeroom teacher, in his sixties, had long lost any lingering arrogance. He didn’t even consider arguing against any educational principles. It was a great joy for him to see his students excel in getting accepted into prestigious universities. If only he could send more students to help with supplementary lessons, maybe even establish a few private tutoring centers.

There were no passionate young individuals like Hirafushi Jizu, who would say they won’t settle for mediocrity. Everyone was facing it with a smile.

The students at Far East University are all very smart and talented. Those who get in are either born geniuses, receiving elite education since childhood, or they work hard and stand out from the rest. In the education system, teachers who work there are careful with their words and not too loud, because this top-notch public university has a strong influence in this era. Just like how rare things are valuable, the same goes for people.

Even the principal and vice principal showed up. They said they wanted her to just start a tutoring class or something, otherwise it would never end.

After exchanging greetings, Yagyū Simozi took Guan Ling aside.

After leaving the school, both of them felt a bit confused and lost.

"What should we do next?" Guan Ling asked.

"First, we should ask the teacher in charge for permission to take leave," Yagyū Simozi said. She could only take it one step at a time. She didn’t know how to stop the reaction that was separating her soul from her body. She wondered if praying and seeking help from the gods would work.

She didn’t know if Jingūji had woken up yet. Maybe visiting a shrine could help with this problem.

She hadn’t planned on letting Bai Wei know about this.

Her older brother is a warrior. Relying on his abs to solve problems is not realistic.

Maybe Yun Wuxin will have a way, but she doesn’t want her brother to owe a favor to the people of the Ming Country. She has made up her mind to go to White Jade Peak.

Went to a university in Hokkaido and found the teacher in charge.

Before the teacher in charge started giving instructions, apologized in advance, requested leave verbally, and finally ran away.

After a series of twists and turns, it was already past nine o’clock in the morning.

Yagyū Simozi looked for a public telephone booth by the road, dialed Yagyū Simozi’s landline number, but unfortunately, no one answered.

After hesitating for a moment, dialed the telephone number of the shrine dormitory, and someone answered. It was a sword witch on duty.

After inquiring, it was found out that Saki Jingūji was still in the hospital, but it was heard that she would be discharged soon. It was decided to call again tomorrow.

Finally, after thinking about it, made a call to the family to let her brother know that she was safe.

"You talk." Yagyū Simozi handed the phone to Guan Ling.

"Can I?"

"Then what else can we do? You can tell him you’re safe in a normal way, and I’ve written down everything you need to say. After that, if you have anything else you want to say, write it down here and I’ll read it out loud."

Unable to refuse, Guan Ling wrote down what she wanted to say and then dialed the phone number.

After a busy tone passed, no one answered, so it went to voicemail.

"Is he not home? I’ll try again tonight." Yagyū Simozi hung up the phone, not in a hurry for the moment.

Walking out of the phone booth, the two girls looked at each other again, unsure of what to do.

"Let me teach you."

"Hmm, okay…"

They could only study, hoping that a good night’s sleep would make things better.

Study, study, study… Yagyū Simozi stayed on the second floor of her house until two o’clock in the afternoon, stopping to have lunch.

While waiting for Guan Ling to finish the test, Yagyū Simozi became bored and started thinking about someone else. She immediately closed her eyes and let her mind wander.

Imagine a scene.

Familiar white mist unfolded like a painting. Yagyū Simozi found herself standing in front of the Sword Tomb, looking at her hands and touching her chest.

"Great, I’m back." She let out a sigh of relief. Her soul remained unchanged as her consciousness entered this scene. She was still herself.

Yagyū Simozi looked at the White Snake Shrine and repeatedly knocked on its gate. "Hello! Is anyone there? Hello!"

After knocking for half a minute, the gate of the shrine swung open and a figure emerged.

Hokusinn Kichyō stepped out of the shrine, radiating an amazing aura. She had obtained the divine status of the Water God from Kuya and the divine status of the Mountain God from Kamitsumi. The two divine statuses combined gave her a complete human-god identity. She was no longer a demigod.

Hokusinn Kichyō had a white snake phantom encompassing her body. The snake glided and twisted, leaving the patterns of scales on her fair skin, resembling a tattoo. The snake shadow returned to stillness, merging back into her body. Hokusinn Kichyō closed her eyes quietly, transforming into a tattoo on her back.

Tattoos are not only for criminals, they can also represent something mysterious. Buddhist tattoos are symbols of divine protection. The white snake tattoo on a person signifies their connection to the divine, and it can appear or disappear as they wish.

"Hoo…" Hokusinn Kichyō exhaled a breath of white mist. She adjusted her messy collar, which was a blue and white priestess robe, just like Kuya’s.

"What’s wrong?" The person and god blinked. "It’s only been a few days, do you miss me?"

"It’s been a week already… Seems like you’re getting more and more adapted." Yagyū Simozi could see that Hokusinn Kichyō had greatly improved in strength, and having a complete divine connection was greatly beneficial.

"In a bit more time, at the latest within a month, I can go back." Hokusinn Kichyō remained calm and composed. "So, what’s the rush? You must be busy challenging others in Hokkaido, right? Aren’t you sharpening your swordsmanship with different schools of swordsmanship?"

"Something unexpected happened." Yagyū Simozi hesitated and finally spoke, "I experienced a soul swap."

"…with whom?" Hokusinn Kichyō, who had gone through many experiences, briefly lost focus before asking.

Hokusinn Kichyō remained calm, mainly because she believed that as long as Bai Wei was there, nothing major would go wrong.

Yagyū Simozi briefly explained the current situation.

"Oh, I see now. It’s not too bad." Hokusinn Kichyō looked a little strange and said, "But shouldn’t you have someone better to ask for help than me?"

"Jingūji is still at the hospital."

"What about the other one?"

"Isn’t it you?" The little sister looked confused and said, "Who are you talking about? Oh! Yun Wuxin, no, she’s not the one. I won’t ask her! Absolutely not!"

Looking at Yagyū Simozi’s stubborn and stubborn eyes, Hokusinn Kichyō couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Then she turned around, showing a subtle expression.

Oh Simozi, it seems like you don’t know anything yet… No, I have to hold back, I can’t laugh out loud…
