Chapter 52
It was so much hubbub that Ah Jiu finally came back. He said, "Three people huh. Add oil. If one more comes then they can form a table to play mahjong."
Just as Ah Jiu spoke the air distorted again. Everyone turned and saw the third person who appeared out of thin air.
Qiu ChangFeng had also come.
Ah Jiu: "….."
Bai YueSheng: "….."
Ah Jiu said gravely: "Brother, take care!"
The two people had known each other for thousands of years. But Ah Jiu had never used the world "brother" to call Bai YueSheng before (T/N: "兄弟"/"Xiong Di", literally "older brother younger brother", can also be used as a respectful way to call a comrade}. But right now seeing Bai YueSheng's miserable state, so miserable that even the system Jiu who always wanted to mock him couldn't help but feel for him.
Bai YueSheng told himself: You need to smile and keep on living. You need to complete the promotion mission and walk towards the pinnacle of life….
So he opened his mouth and said: "Ha ha. Good."
Good my ass!
Bai YueSheng backed away a few steps and said. 'Then… should we sit down and talk?"
No one moved.
Bai YueSheng's palms were sweaty. He carefully thought about the things he had done and thought the first thing he should do was….
"No matter what, it's my wrongdoing. I'm sorry."
He made a sincere apology to the four people, and then the four people stared back at him coldly.
They all wanted to know one thing above all else, but the answer was already very obvious.
Bai YueSheng didn't like him.
At this time, Ah Jiu's voice sounded in Bai YueSheng's head. "The mission prompt has been updated. You have to appease these four people and make their mood return to normal."
Bai YueSheng: "…." How the f***…..
This concubine can't do it ahhhhhhhh! {T/N: Bai YueSheng used the world "chen qie"/臣妾 which is the way a concubine refers to herself when speaking to the Emperor.}
In the end he could only give up mission ba!
Ah Jiu added: "The mission has been locked. There's no option to give up."
Bai YueSheng: "What the heck?!"
Ah Jiu paused and then said in an extremely small whisper, "I think someone is…" His words trailed off.
Bai YueSheng waited for the rest and then asked, "Lord Jiu?"
Ah Jiu: "….."
Bai YueSheng: "Someone is what?"
Ah Jiu paused then said, "Nothing. Add oil ba. This type of situation has happened before. Usually it's a test for the transmigrator…" Heavens knew what kind of nonsense he was spouting. The words coming from his mouth were not controlled by him… this time it was really over, it looked like Xiao Bai (T/N: "Little Bai", i.e. Bai YueSheng}'s Gong baba really wasn't an ordinary person.
But really what was he doing. Ah Jiu couldn't feel any malice from him but he also didn't understand. If Gong Yi liked Xiao Bai, then shouldn't he try to get rid of these four love rivals? But instead he wanted to drag on this mess, and even wanted Xiao Bai to pacify them….
This was quite interesting.
This man who seemed to want to put a green field over his head really was rare.
Clearly not ordinary.
Enjoy your life ah, my brother.
Ah Jiu said a lot of nonsense but Bai YueSheng really believed it. Although they always mocked and made fun of each other, however in these nine words and in these thousand years, Ah Jiu was the companion he trusted and relied on the most.
And also it was beyond Bai YueSheng's imagination that someone could control Ah Jiu. And since Ah Jiu also didn't sense any malice from Gong Yi so he also played along.
Thus the Bai YueSheng who had been cunning for a lifetime, was played this time….
Bai YueSheng didn't have any means of retreat so he could only plunge on forward. Who cares if the water was deep or boiling hot, he could only close his eyes and jump!
"Listen to me!" Bai YueSheng decided to be a undisguised and open human scum.
"I like… you… en… all of you."
The Ah Jiu who was listening slapped himself on the head: So awkward, I can't keep listening.
Bai YueSheng took a deep breath and decided to lay everything bare on the table.
"Actually I don't belong to this world. I actually already died a few thousand years ago and then…" He blah blah blahed about how he died, and how he ended up joining the Time and Space Bureau and how he started to do missions. He explained one by one.
After he finished, Bai YueSheng took a deep breath. "Because of the nature of the mission, I have to treat each world as though it is a lifetime. And in each person's lifetime they will meet various people and go through various things and like…. en… even fall in love, and then get into a relationship…."
He clenched his teeth and explained. "You guys think about it. Imagine everyone can reincarnate, each time you reincarnate you have a new life and a new love, you will fall in love with different people. That's normal, right?"
Aiyaya, he even managed to convince himself. Luckily within each world he was never had any playboy habits!
However… he forgot a crucial matter.
Jeremy didn't blink, looking at him. "However you didn't reincarnate."
Qiu ChangFeng added, "You didn't lose your memory."
His Majesty the black dragon Neil followed on with, "If you really loved someone, would you give up so easily?"
The God-King Lance raised the corner of his lips and his dazzling smile hid knives. "Or is it, in the end, that you never really liked anyone?"
How the hell was he supposed to respond to this!!!
Bai YueSheng panicked. He said, "But I thought I would never see any of you again!"
In real life if your lover died, then as time progressed, you would slowly learn to accept other people and start a new romance. This was a normal person's way of life.
However the four people facing Bai YueSheng were all extremely abnormal. They said at the same time, "I didn't forget you."
In each world, Bai YueSheng died and died in front of them. But all of them didn't give up, all of them continued to search for him, to the extent which they were able to cross worlds and break the space-time barrier in order to come to another world to find him.
The feelings they had given to Bai YueSheng when compared to his words of "like"… were like the difference between heaven and earth.
Bai YueSheng was stunned and couldn't say a thing.
In that moment everyone became silent. In the warm room there was lingering killing aura, nobody moved a step forward and no one backed away. Everyone was… waiting for an opportunity.
Lance was the first person who spoke. His gaze suddenly softened and he asked, "Who was the first person you met?"
Bai YueSheng was at this moment like a dying fish floundering on the floorboard. Seeing his light smile, felt a ray of warmth inside his heart. He said, "Jeremy."
Lance then asked, "And then?"
Bai YueSheng said, "Qiu ChangFeng, Neil…."
Lance became even more warm. He said, "The last one is me, right?"
Actually after you there was Gong baba, but Gong baba isn't here so… Bai YueSheng thought for moment then said, "En."
Lance slowly stood up and there was a smile on his lips. However his eyes were the azure color of the ocean depth. "Then they are all from the past. Since it's in the past it shows you can easily let go. So look towards the future, I will always accompany you."
The melon seed eating Ah Jiu: This logic…. I'm really defeated.
