Chapter 23: I’m Really Smart~
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qi Zixiao had peerless talent. Otherwise, she wouldn't be at the peak of ascension at such a young age.
Her talent did not only reflect in the speed of cultivation, but it was the same for learning immortal arts.
Right now, as she watched the 'Celestial Lightning Blade' on television, Qi Zixiao was coincidentally enlightened!
But…
At the same time, feeling her consciousness waver, Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao's soul once again transmigrated and they returned to their own bodies.
"I'm back…"
Lin Fan's gaze was burning with fiery anticipation.
"I've completely memorized the Ultimate Supremacy Style. Let's see if I can successfully learn it later."
"But… Now I better take a look at what that tigress Qi Zixiao has been up to for the past few days. She better not have caused any trouble."
In Lin Fan's mind, Qi Zixiao was a worrying existence.
The drama continued to play before his eyes and the note on the coffee table was visible.
"Did she learn how to watch dramas? This is good. At least watching television won't cause any trouble…"
He picked up the note and read it.
The first line consisted of eight words written so harshly that the paper tore.
'You forgot to tell me the phone's password!!!'
It was easy to tell how devastated and frustrated Qi Zixiao was when she wrote this.
"Uh…"
Lin Fan rubbed his nose, feeling a little ashamed. "So, did I actually forget to tell her the password?"
"I think so…"
After carefully recalling his thoughts, it was true that he forgot to leave her with the phone's password. Back then, one of the phones was set to be constantly active so after transmigration, Qi Zixiao could access it to watch the videos. But after she locked the screen…
It was no longer accessible!
For Qi Zixiao, a high tech gadget like a mobile phone was the thing she was most interested in after transmigration, but alas, she couldn't use it because she had no password…
"Ahem! No wonder she left me a note instead of a video."
Lin Fan kept this in mind and continued reading.
"The instant noodles taste good but I'm getting tired of it!"
This was Qi Zixiao's second message.
Lin Fan: …
He briefly inspected his cash and the amount of money on his phone. After noticing not a penny was missing, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Did she really eat instant noodles for three days?"
"... Although I've asked her to refrain from going outside, I never said she couldn't go out for meals."
"Why don't I buy some rice and vegetables for her and leave them in the kitchen next time?"
After some thought, Lin Fan gave up on the idea.
What kind of joke was this?
Would the almighty Saintess know how to cook?
Before she cooked a decent meal, she might have burned down the house!
Qi Zixiao's third message.
'I want information on the immortal world. How do I get to the immortal world from this world?'
Lin Fan: …
"You're asking me? Who should I ask?!"
"I think this tigress is just trying to make things hard for me!"
It was clear that Lin Fan had misunderstood.
Qi Zixiao was thinking of obtaining information on the immortal world so she could train this body and at least protect herself in this strange world.
However, Lin Fan had misunderstood it as her wanting to find a way home or something…
But no matter her thoughts or intention, where was he supposed to find information on the immortal world?
How does one get to the immortal world?
Who would know?
…
In Qi Zixiao's note, there were only three things and nothing else.
After all, with Qi Zixiao's personality, she wouldn't say more than necessary. It wasn't possible for her to write down how many instant noodles she ate, how many times she circled the house, and how often she went to the loo, right?
It was impossible.
"Thankfully there are no accidents this time."
After briefly understanding the situation, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
His money was still intact, meaning she had stayed put. Staying put and still had the mood to watch dramas meant she did not cause trouble.
"Then I should quickly get the upcoming plans drafted…"
Right now, Lin Fan had three important tasks before him.
Number one, going back to school!
Holidays have ended and tomorrow was the start of a new semester, he had to show up to take attendance.
Of course, taking attendance was a small issue. The problem lies in what would happen when Qi Zixiao controlled his body. Should he let her go to classes? That would lead to immediate exposure…
Hence, he needed a solution to this problem.
Number two, earning money!
His entire fortune combined now was only about three to four hundred bucks. Even if they ate instant noodles every day, they wouldn't last long. Moreover, it was impossible to eat instant noodles every day!
Number three, martial arts training!
He had memorized the Ultimate Supremacy Style. As a person who grew up watching martial art movies, how could Lin Fan resist trying it out?
What if… he succeeded?
After pondering it for a long while, Lin Fan couldn't come up with a solution for school.
"To prevent exposure, there are only two options. One is to never let her find out about school and simply skipping. Two, … the simpler method is to quit school."
Between these two options, Lin Fan felt reluctant but there were no other solutions.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll go take the attendance tomorrow and go to classes when I have time. As for when Qi Zixiao takes over… Just let her stay at home. I'll just skip classes and take care of it when the time comes."
Things will work out in the end. If something was unsolvable right now, there was no need to dwell on it. It was better to simply jump to the next problem.
"I'm in great need of money, so… doing daily paid jobs are better." Lin Fan pondered.
Of course, he didn't mean to take illegal daily paid jobs.
"There's no other way but to opt for moving bricks again."
When he first entered university, because things were tough at home and they lacked money, Lin Fan boasted his physical strength and went to move bricks at construction sites for a period of time.
After that, when he started slacking off, Lin Fan rarely went but he still kept his manager's contact details. If he wanted to go back, it wouldn't be too hard.
"But…"
"Excluding today, I need to report to school tomorrow so that leaves only the day after tomorrow. Even if I work the entire day, I can only make about two hundred bucks. It won't be enough."
"Why don't… I let Qi Zixiao control my body and move bricks as well?"
Lin Fan blinked and suddenly came up with a decent idea.
Too many people knew him at school and he would regularly have close contact with his lecturers so it was easy to get exposed.
But moving bricks were different! Everyone at the construction site was busy so who would have time for you? If no one cared, everyone was a stranger, they wouldn't get exposed, right?
"I'm really smart!"
This guy was a tad complacent.
But… for some reason, when he thought of the great Saintess having to move bricks at a construction site, Lin Fan felt like laughing.
"That's decided for now. Next… let's try practicing the Ultimate Supremacy Style!"
