Chapter 30: The Thirtyth Day of Cultivation
Chapter 31
Tenriko and Kanako stared at each other.
"You must be Tenchi Riko, hello!" Kanako experienced the success of rescuing a deceased person from the past for the first time. Seeing Tenchi Riko was like seeing a walking sense of accomplishment.
"Ah...ah, yes!" Nariko didn't react at once. Her impression of Kanako was still stuck on the part of "I'm awesome, catching bullets with bare hands."
A feeling of reverence naturally arose in her heart. After hearing that the attackers had been driven away, Tenriko reunited with Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, who were in a miserable state, and only then did she truly hear Kanako's self-introduction.
Come to think of it, she's Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's companion, what a young child! Tennōriko thought to herself, then said, "Hello, I'm... uh, Tengen-sama's astral form."
She really couldn't think of how to introduce herself for a moment. Since Kanako knew her name, she could only use that old-fashioned opening line to address herself.
"Astral Plasma? What astral plasma?" Kanako pretended not to understand and tapped her chin with her finger. She looked up at the sky and began to ask herself, "Is there anyone here named Astral Plasma? No!"
"So the 'astral plasma' that needs to be assimilated with Tengen is here?" Kanako looked at Tennuriko and blinked with a smile.
Of course, Tennenoriko understood her hint. At that moment, the tears that had been interrupted by the attacker and had not yet fallen filled her eyes.
"Yes, that's right... There is no astral plasma here, my name is Tennariko..." She sobbed intermittently. It was the moment when she should be happy about being alive, but she couldn't stop crying.
"Strange, why am I crying? I should be laughing." Tenriko covered her face with her hands. "I'm so embarrassed...!"
"Were you crying out of joy? What's that idiom called... Oh, tears of joy!" Kanako thought for a moment and said, "Tears shed out of joy are the most valuable, as valuable as the pearl tears shed by the Little Mermaid."
Kanako clumsily used an analogy to tell Tenriko her most intuitive feelings and patted her shoulder soothingly.
This heartwarming scene was abruptly interrupted by another person.
Kanako turned her head away in disgust. From time to time, she could hear Gojo Satoru's unbridled laughter beside her: "Jay, I've never felt so good in my life! Let's fight, let me try out the new moves I learned!"
As he spoke, an extremely dangerous red light condensed in the blink of an eye.
Xia Yujie, who was cleaning up the mess in the main hall, was so busy that his head was almost bald. The fringe of bangs on his forehead was pulled out and became much thinner. He sighed and replied, "Wu, I'm busy."
His tone was that of a parent who worked during the day and had to come back to do the housework at night. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw five cubs rolling around.
Oh, and there's a newly returned night rabbit cub that needs to be taken care of...
"Xiaojie, let me help!" Kanako immediately stood up and handed the storage bag of the Cursed Spirit Ugly Treasure to Tenchiriko.
She quickly stretched out her hand and immediately grasped Gojo Wu's glowing red fingers, strangling the unactivated technique in the cradle like extinguishing a spark.
At that time, Gojo Satoru took the initiative to close No Bottom Line, and his clear eyes were full of curiosity about the unknown.
What will happen when his body faces Kanako now?
Half a second later, he regretted it.
Gojo Satoru gasped: "...hiss, what kind of strange power do you have?"
Geto Xia Yu was very moved by this and couldn't help but praise: "Kanako, well done!"
Woohoo, one of the unreliable children in the family has grown up and become sensible.
"Is there anyone who can come and save me?" Tenriko shouted.
The heavy weight of the ugly treasure almost crushed Tian Tianlizi's arms to the ground. Tian Tianlizi screamed: "Ah, Ah, Ah!"
There was no way. Kanako was the only one present who could lift the ugly baby and didn't despise him. She patted the ugly baby's head, then narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.
Under the threat of the gaze, Chou Bao moved as if he understood what was going on.
It seemed to understand that it had been abandoned by its original owner who had escaped. After twitching for a while, it shrank into a small black ball.
Satisfied now, Kanako threw the ball to the white floating ghost, asking the system to keep it temporarily.
System: "...No, what on earth did this ugly thing eat to become so heavy?!"
Kanako: "Just a few useful cursed tools."
Since Fushiguro Shigeki escaped, support sorcerers came to the high school one after another to clean up the mess on campus.
The areas they are responsible for are all open to the public, while the location of the Hongxing Palace where Tianyuan is located is confidential. There are only three people related to the Star Plasma Incident inside to clean up the mess, plus a random Kanako.
"When are we going out?" Kanako asked.
"Wait a little longer," said Geto. "There are a lot of people watching inside the Polytechnic Institute right now. We'll take Riko away after they clear out the scumbags outside."
"Hmm... Is it because there are some teams out there that are willing to pay to assassinate Riko, so we should avoid them?" Kanako pondered.
Geto Suguru: "That's one of the reasons..."
"Of course that's not the point!" Gojo Satoru interrupted. "The commission isn't complete until the astral plasma is assimilated. But! As the ones responsible for 'guarding' the astral plasma, we have no intention of sending Tennariko for assimilation."
Gojo Satoru spoke proudly, "That's right—we are the ones who committed the crime!"
The system was speechless: "...Don't say such horrible things with such excitement like a villain!"
Kanako's eyes suddenly lit up and she exclaimed, "How cool! Wah-wah-wah!"
System: "Don't rush to follow the trend!"
Gojo Satoru looked at the little ghost floating in the air dimly and said, "Kanako came back this time and brought back something very interesting."
The system quickly retreated behind Kanako, covering its mouth: [Ah... I almost forgot that I'm also a system with a body now. The complaints in double quotes can be heard by everyone in the room.]
Speaking of the system, Kanako was a little curious about what ghosts look like under the observation of the "Six Eyes", so she asked.
"To put it in words, it's probably consistent with what Kanako gave me. It's easy to tell it's Kanako's subordinate cursed spirit." Gojo Satoru drew a circle in the air, finally landing on Ugly Treasure's head. "This incredibly ugly storage bag cursed spirit is also showing signs of becoming a subordinate cursed spirit. It's only a matter of time before we completely subjugate it."
"Are you really that ugly?" Kanako said casually, "It's decided. From now on, I'll call you Ugly Treasure!"
She also picked a name for the other subordinate cursed spirit: "From now on, your name will be Tongbao!"
System: "If you have the guts, don't be so casual with me! Also, why am I just a by-product? This isn't fair! QAQ"
Tennantori poked it and said, "There's actually a curse that's so easy to bully."
"I suddenly realized something." Xia Yujie stopped the cleanup work he was doing and slowly turned his head towards the tree in the center of the hall.
"According to common sense, the Tianyuan barrier's perception covers the entire high school, and Hongxing Palace is the place closest to Tianyuan-sama, so..."
He looked up at the ceiling. "...We are now discussing how to abduct the Astral Plasma in front of Master Tianyuan, right?"
"Ah, this..." Tenriko was the first to feel embarrassed.
Gojo Satoru: “Ah, this.”
Kanako looked at the other two and said, "Ah, this."
At this moment, Geto Suguru and the system reached an unprecedented tacit understanding. They said at the same time: "Forbid this! At least understand the seriousness of the situation."
【No need to argue anymore.】
A hoarse voice came from behind them, but the person who spoke was nowhere to be seen.
The voice seemed to come from all directions of the hall, and Kanako was about to answer: "Ah, that must be Tengen's voice."
"Oh, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it... You're the only one among all people who calls Tianyuan by his name, right?" The system whispered in Kanako's ear, "Everyone calls him Lord Tianyuan. After all, he sounds like an old senior with a lot of experience, right? How about being a little more polite?"
The hint in the system's tone is almost explicit.
"What you said makes sense." Kanako nodded and changed her words: "Tianyuan Oji-san Obasan!"
System crash: "This is even more rude! Why is this name so long!"
Kanako said naturally, "Because I don't know whether Tianyuan Oji-san Obasan is a man or a woman, it must be correct to say so."
Tian Yuan didn't take their farce seriously. The voice in the hall continued: "Since the astral plasma has been delivered and the commission has been completed, you may leave."
This was Tenriko's first official encounter with Tengen. In the past, she would have been so brave and honored, but now she felt only uneasiness and nervousness.
"You heard our conversation, Lord Tengen," Gojo Satoru said bluntly. "In that case, there's no need for further explanation... Let's just state the conclusion: we're not going to hand Tennuriko over."
"Yes, I understand." Tian Yuan said, "My meaning is also very clear. The astral plasma has been delivered, and the commission is concluded."
[As for Tenriko's ultimate fate, it is not part of the mission I entrusted you with.]
Tenriko looked up in disbelief, ecstatic in her confusion.
This... is it that Lord Tianyuan let them go on his own initiative?
Master Tianyuan isn't planning to assimilate with the astral plasma!?
Geto Suguru was also surprised: "Who exactly is Tianyuan-sama...?"
[The Gojo family's six-eyed, cursed spirit operator, and... unexpected visitors, please come in. I will explain the situation to you.]
Tianyuan lifted the barrier leading to the bottom of the tree.
The three of them walked up the stairs that led down, and during this time, Tianyuan had already started explaining.
[For hundreds of years, Tianyuan, the Astral Body, and the Six Eyes... these three parties have been bound by a certain causal bond, a bond that was born from the very beginning of the Tianyuan Barrier.]
[But today, the man who broke into the barrier broke the fate of cause and effect.] Tian Yuan said, [I gradually realized... even if the arrival of the alien prevented the accident from happening in time, the connection between cause and effect has become precarious.]
[The signs of destruction have already begun to appear. Blindly pursuing a fate that has cracked will only lead to an even more tragic outcome.]
Gojo Satoru, his ears tired, said, "To put it simply, you're not ready to accept assimilation."
"Who is this alien... Are you talking about me?" Kanako was very satisfied with this new name, it sounded very prestigious.
After a while, a door appeared in front of them.
When the door was opened, there was a space with nothing but paleness, and Tianyuan's true body appeared in the center.
He now looks like an elderly man with a kind face.
"So what do you plan to do next? The barrier still needs your maintenance." asked Geto Suguru.
"Establish a completely new cause and effect," Tian Yuan replied, his mind gradually emptying. "A completely new cause and effect cannot be found through human thinking. We cannot over-calculate. There is no need for deliberate understanding. Simply feel with the soul..."
"That must be an answer that even fate cannot figure out." Tianyuan said.
The next moment, Kanako inexplicably ran to Tengen's side.
Because she didn't understand Tianyuan's riddle-like statement, she devoted herself to her own behavioral logic.
Then he controlled his strength and gently pulled Tianyuan's coat.
Kanako: "Are you angry?"
Tianyuan: “No.”
Kanako poked again: "Are you angry when I call you Ojisan Obasan?"
Tian Yuan: “…No.”
Kanako continued to stretch out her fingers: "Sheng——"
Tian Yuan interrupted: "No."
Kanako smiled happily: "Then you are a pretty good person."
The system howled: "What are you doing!!!"
At this moment, Tian Yuan fell into deep thought: "This alien has a really hard-to-understand way of thinking."
Tianyuan lowered his head and looked at Kanako thoughtfully: "...I'm afraid we have already found a breakthrough."
The system's throat was blocked: "..."
There are too many complaints, please save the system.
【Author’s words】
Kanako and Tengen, Popko and Pippi.
Tongbao is happy to have a healthy body and now a name, what a joy!
Since I really don't understand what jjxx was trying to do when he created Tianyuan...so I started to make private settings to utilize Tianyuan (rubbing my hands)
