Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 40 When Will I Wake Up from the Dream?
"Hey, wake up, don't sleep anymore~" The clear voice kept echoing in his ears, awakening Gong Lili's consciousness from the chaos. Who is it, who is calling in his ears?
Gong Lili turned over, still with her eyes closed. She felt a splitting headache and waved her hands unconsciously, as if to drive away the sound that disturbed her sleep.
However, that voice was still lingering, but it was even clearer: "Yao Ji, be good, get up, don't be lazy!"
Yao Ji? !
This familiar name made Yinglili shudder even in her sleep. She suddenly opened her eyes. Who is Yao Ji? Who is calling Yao Ji?
This was a bright and handsome young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old. His long black hair was casually tied up with a purple ribbon, at the end of which was tied a round and shiny pearl. His eyebrows and eyes were delicate and picturesque, and the purple robe he wore added a touch of elegance and refinement to his appearance.
The young man was now staring at her with his eyes full of smiles, his lips also adorned with a smile. He reached out his hand and lovingly rubbed her hair, which had become as messy as a chicken coop from sleep, his tone also full of doting: "Look at you, you were pestering me yesterday, saying that you must take you out for a walk today, but why are you back to your old ways and staying in bed again today? Hurry up, get up, pack up, and come down the mountain with me. If the elders find out, you won't be able to leave."
Who is he? Where is this? Yinglili stared at him blankly, her still half-awake mind trying to recall her memories of this person, but after a long time of thinking, she had no clue. Wait, what did he call her just now?
She wanted to speak, but her throat was too dry. It took her a while to find her voice again. When she opened her mouth, she frightened the other person: "Who are you?"
The other party was obviously frightened by her words. The hand that was originally rubbing her messy hair stopped stiffly in mid-air. After a while, he leaned over anxiously and gently stroked her forehead: "Yao Ji, are you okay? Did you fall asleep?"
Yao Ji? He called her Yao Ji?!
This time, Yinglili truly heard it clearly, and her consciousness was completely clear. No way, could Wusu really have taken her to Shamo City? But who was this young man? Why was he speaking to her in such a familiar tone?
Pinglili subconsciously waved his hand away and shrank back against the wall, her face full of vigilance: "Who are you? Did Great Elder Wusu send you here?!"
When the other person heard this, his expression suddenly became extremely interesting. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, as if he could swallow an egg. After a while, he shook his head and leaned forward. "Yao Ji, what are you doing! Did you hit your head while sleeping? Or are you deliberately playing some new trick on me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and call your Great Elder Wusu over!" Ping Lili felt like she was talking to a deaf person, so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore. Since Wusu had brought her here, she figured she'd wait for him to arrive and then ask him in person what was going on. And who was this noisy young man ? Was he sent by Wusu to watch over her? But she'd only ever heard of maids, never male servants!
As soon as these words came out, the other party's expression became even weirder. He looked at Gong Lili's expression as if he had seen a ghost. After a long while, he said in a serious tone, "Yao Ji, this is a joke. The Great Elder doesn't make jokes like this casually. If the senior teachers hear this, even I, your senior brother, can't help you. You will definitely be punished with a beating."
Senior brother? He's Yao Ji's senior brother? Wait, what's going on? Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through Ying Lili's mind, as if she remembered something. If she looked closely at the purple-clothed boy's appearance, he did look familiar...
Wait, Zi Yi?! Senior Brother?!
Could this person be Wu Su? A younger version of Wu Su?
How is that possible!
How could he really have regained his youth? I remember that before I fell into a coma, we were still facing each other in Shen Fei's alchemy pot. Wasn't he wrinkled and old? How could he suddenly turn back into a young man of eighteen or nineteen?
What is going on?
Although it was the same face, with delicate willow-shaped eyebrows, a small nose, and slightly upturned lips, although this face looked exactly like hers, Ying Lili knew in her heart that this was not her! This was Yao Ji!
This is Yao Ji's face! This is the same Yao Ji's face as in my dream!
Why? Could it be that Yao Ji's spirit has awakened? Has it taken over this body? That's not right . What about my consciousness at this moment? Could it be that I have become Yao Ji?
When this thought popped into his mind, Ping Lili felt like he was struck by lightning, his whole body going stiff...
What on earth is going on? Is this a dream or did I travel through time?
Peng Lili subconsciously touched his neck, and the treasure bag was gone! He then used inner vision to check his Dantian, and there was nothing!
Sure enough, this is indeed Yao Ji's body! Why is her consciousness in Yao Ji's body?
She pinched herself hard and it hurt, it still hurt a little. It seemed that she was not dreaming!
Could it be that I traveled through time?
This realization made Ying Lili's face turn pale. No way! Could such a ridiculous thing happen to her? And traveling through time was one thing, but traveling five hundred years? She remembered that before she passed out, she seemed to have been hit by a huge rock. Could that rock have sent her back five hundred years?
Wait, before being hit by the boulder, she seemed to have used the 'Lian Ruo' within her body for the first time. Could it be that the power of 'Lian Ruo' led her through time? But just now, she checked her dantian and found no trace of 'Lian Ruo'. How would she go back then?
What should I do? What should I do? Pinglili's mind was buzzing with confusion. Ignoring Wu Su's surprised look, Pinglili hurriedly sat back on the bed, pinching her palms to try to calm herself down!
Do I have to go to the Suzaku Temple under Yonghui City to ask for the Lotus inheritance again? However, I can't just go to the Suzaku Temple whenever I want!
Calm down, calm down, now that you are here, make the best of it. Since there is a way to get through, there must be a way to go back!
Ying Lili was somewhat self-deceiving and comforting herself with blind optimism. Fortunately, she was a very resigned person. After realizing that she had truly traveled through time and space, and had traveled into the body of Yao Ji from five hundred years ago, she quickly forced herself to calm down and think about what to do next.
Perhaps it is because she has experienced too many incredible things since coming to the Void Realm, which has shaped the calm personality of Gong Lili. She has become accustomed to considering her situation with the most optimistic thinking in adversity and finding a way out for herself. This may be the special thing about Gong Lili, because she knows that unnecessary pessimism and worries are useless.
Instead of lamenting the tricks of fate, it is better to find ways to fight against fate. This is the most practical thing!
When did this time travel to?
Judging from how young Wu Su is, Yao Ji herself should not be that old either. Moreover, when she looked in the mirror just now, she seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Gong Lili remembered very clearly that Yao Ji died in the battle of Shamo City when she was eighteen years old. Her current body did not look like she was eighteen years old at all. If she really traveled to the body of Yao Ji at that time, could she prevent the tragedy from happening?
Thinking of this, Yinglili suddenly felt that this time travel might be a godsend, a chance for her to prevent all tragedies from happening! It seemed that she had to make good use of this opportunity to do something. Even if she took a step back, she should at least make good use of it to get closer to Wusu and the so-called four elders. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles!
Ying Lili is a person who can do what she thinks immediately. She took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and prepared to accept the new identity of Yao Ji. It seems that the first step is to start with Wu Su, at least to gain his trust first. However, how can she justify herself?
She thought quickly in her mind. After all, she had watched many Qiong Yao dramas in this world, and had seen many scenes of amnesia and pretending to be stupid. Even if she had never eaten pork, she could at least learn to run like a pig. So she decided to turn on her movie queen mode.
She suddenly hugged her head tightly and shook it desperately, looking hysterical, muttering: "Head, my head hurts!"
Sure enough, this action made Wu Su nervous. Wu Su quickly came over and said, "Yao Ji, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Ping Lili didn't say anything at first. She just shook her head and muttered to herself. When she felt that Wu Su was really scared, she murmured like a dream, "I don't know. I don't know what happened. I always feel a headache. It seems that I have forgotten a lot of things..."
As she said this, she thrust her hands tightly into her hair. In order to make the performance more realistic, she even made her hands tremble slightly, looking as if she had a splitting headache.
Sure enough, her appearance immediately made Wu Su nervous again: "What happened? Did you roll out of bed and hit your head in the middle of the night?"
You just hit your head, and your whole family also hit their heads.
Yinglili secretly complained in her heart, but she had to continue pretending. She continued to act hysterical, leading Wu Su to speculate on the answer she wanted: "I don't know, I just feel a headache, as if it's going to split open... It seems like I can't remember a lot of things... What's wrong with me?"
"Ah, I remember now. You were sparring with Junior Sister Yunchu last night. Did you hurt your head then?" Wu Su slapped his head, as if remembering something, but his brows furrowed even deeper. "I was saying, why are you sparring with Yunchu for no reason? That girl is always rough with her blows, and she treated you the same way..." Halfway through his words, Wu Su suddenly seemed to realize something and subconsciously shut up. A strange emotion flashed in his eyes that Gong Lili couldn't understand, but he immediately changed the subject. He stepped forward and gently stroked Gong Lili's head: "Come, let me see, are you hurt anywhere?"
