Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Andersen's Fairy Tales...
[This is your new body.]
…
[Congratulations on your portrayal of the villain. Even to the very end, the world still had a tinge of fondness for you.]
…
[Although there were some minor flaws in the process, such as you being turned gay...]
Ye Nanque: [Shut up.]
System: [Congratulations anyway, your new life has begun.]
…
…
Ye Nanque turned his head. Although this movement was very difficult for him to do now, he still managed it. He saw his own horribly short hands.
Ye Nanque's heart was filled with a bunch of curse words.
Ye Nanque: [Turn off the background music of "Unforgettable Tonight." The new life you're talking about... means turning me into a baby?]
The system turns off the background music: [What a new life this is.]
Ye Nanque: […What should we do about Mu Jiulin?]
System: [He's not under my control, and I have no personal connection with him. His story is already complete. I'll use myself to seal you and become a universally known hero.]
Ye Nanque: […Has he been sealed this whole time? …In the same body as me?]
System: [Yeah. However, based on the ending of the story, your previous body should be recycled. After all, a completed story is quickly forgotten. Before long, no readers will remember you anymore.]
Recycling, what a fresh word.
Ye Nanque opened his mouth and wanted to curse the system, but all he heard was the cry of a baby.
He heard the voice of a matchmaker.
"Mother and child are safe! Mother and child are safe—"

Everyone in Lianjiaqiao knew that the Ye family had given birth to a freak, born with strong spiritual power. He grew into a teenager just a few years after birth and was able to fight a high-level cultivator. However, this kid had a quirk: whenever he saw someone, he would ask if they knew how to get to the extreme realm of the Sea of Bitterness.
Although Lianjiaqiao is a small place, it has a lot of people coming and going, and it is not uncommon. It is a mixed crowd and well-informed. Many people know that the "Bitter Sea Extreme" mentioned by the Ye family boy is the territory of the Shura Sect, the legendary paradise.
I guess that genius boy wants to join the Shura Sect. Even the people in Lianjiaqiao think so.
Even the two elders of the Ye family advised him, "Son, if you want to cultivate immortality, our family has the conditions for it. We're planning to send you to Fancheng. I heard the Xuan Sect there advocates joyful cultivation, combining education with entertainment, and has many activities every year. Besides, you're so talented, you'll definitely pass the Xuan Sect's selection. We don't necessarily have to go to the Shura Sect."
"If that doesn't work, the Saint Medical Sect is also good, but I heard that studying medicine is quite difficult, and it usually takes eight or nine years to get started."
Ye Nanque had a lot of grievances on his mind but couldn't express them. If Mu Jiulin had moved the sealed location, he would have found it immediately after reopening it. But Mu Jiulin chose Jinghu Lake, a mysterious place, and he couldn't find it after searching for so many years.
Ye Nanque sighed softly in his heart and said solemnly: "I don't want to cultivate immortality, I just want to reach the extreme realm of the sea of suffering."
The two elders of the Ye family didn't understand, but they loved their son so much that they immediately paid a large sum of money to recruit a martial arts teacher. They had only one requirement: the teacher had to be a cultivator from the Shura Sect.
Since this "high-paying recruitment" was indeed "high-paying", Ye Nanque guessed that Shura Sect may have only had a dozen disciples over the years, but there were nearly a hundred applicants coming to his house.
Ye Nanque interviewed everyone one by one, and all of them turned out to be swindlers and frauds.
He and his good brother Zhou Chu from Lianjiaqiao complained about it for several days, but a stupid method is still a method, and he still had to go to the interview.
Until one day, he saw a familiar face in the crowd.
Wide chin.
Ye Nanque was so excited that she was almost in tears. She held Kuanyi's hand and said, "There's no need for the interview, Dashi. But...why would Dashi come here to be a martial arts teacher?"
Kuan Yi said sincerely and confidently, "Being a martial arts teacher here pays well, so I came here. I heard you're extremely talented, and you look like a teenager despite your youth, so I'm even more curious. Do you know me? This must be the first time I've met you, but why do you look familiar?"
Ye Nanque's current appearance is completely different from his previous body. It is his original appearance.
If others said that he looked familiar, Ye Nanque would think it was nonsense, but when Kuanyi said that he looked familiar, he was really afraid that Kuanyi saw the essence from the appearance.
He had finally gotten the plot right, and to avoid any further trouble, he didn't want to admit that he was Ye Nanque.
Ye Nanque laughed and said, "I have heard of the great name of the Bodhisattva a long time ago and I have great respect for him."
Kuan Yi did not pursue the matter, and the two of them naturally played the roles of teacher and student.
Learning to practice cultivation is fake, finding the entrance is real. After the two of them had been master and disciple for a while, Ye Nanque began to hint at how to enter the extreme realm of the sea of suffering.
Kuan Yi did not hide anything and directly gave him the Heart Sutra, but said: "Even if you know the Heart Sutra, you can't enter now anyway."
Ye Nanque: "Why?"
Kuan Yi: "The Extreme Sea of Bitterness, as the name suggests, is a place where one cannot enter unless they have experienced suffering and gained enlightenment. You were born here and have never even stepped out of Lianjia Bridge. Your life is shallow, how can you talk about enlightenment?"
Ye Nanque tried to use the Heart Sutra, but found that he really couldn't get in.
"If I really want to get in, is there a trick?"
Kuan Yi said frankly: "Suffering."
Ye Nanque felt a pang of sadness, thinking that he had suffered a lot in all his previous experiences, but with his restart, none of it counted. If he wanted to enter the Bitter Sea to see Mu Jiulin, he would have to suffer again.
As he was thinking, he thought of Mu Jiulin who was still soaking in Jinghu Lake. He made up his mind and left Lianjiaqiao that night without even packing his bag. He only left a sentence "Traveling around the world" behind.
He transformed himself into a beggar, heading towards the wilderness. As a beggar, he had endured the hardships of sleeping in the open air, going hungry, and being watched coldly and mocked. Whenever Ye Nanque felt like he couldn't bear it any longer, he would think of Mu Jiulin and he would grit his teeth and endure it.
Even the system sighed: [For someone as lazy as you to do this for Mu Jiulin is truly love.]
Ye Nanque: [Lazy? Who are you calling lazy?]
System: [You are deliberately avoiding the main point.]
Fortunately, I have my old friend, the system, otherwise these hard days would be even more difficult to endure.
I don't know why the problem persisted after I reopened the system. Ye Nanque asked the system about this question, and the system hesitantly explained that the company forgot to recycle it, so he had to stay with Ye Nanque.
Ye Nanque immediately exposed him: [You must be reluctant to part with me.]
System: [You have a big face.]
Ye Nanque: [You're just avoiding me on purpose. It's okay. When I find Mu Jiulin, we can live happily ever after.]
The system hesitated for a long time before finally uttering one word: […Okay.]
The days of relying on the system continued until the end of the world.
Kuan Yi stood at the entrance of the Great Wilderness, looked at the ragged Ye Nanque, and said, "Ye Nanque, you can enter the extreme realm of the sea of suffering."
Ye Nanque was stunned: "Do you know who I am?"
Kuan Yi: "Master told me it was you, but I didn't believe it at first, until he told me that the Ye Nanque sealed in Mirror Lake... had disappeared. It was Master's idea to go to Lianjia Bridge to find you, and it was also Master's idea not to let you easily enter the extreme realm of the Sea of Bitterness."
Ye Nanque: [Tong, we've been fooled.]
System: [Congratulations, you are about to meet your lover.]
Kuan Yi said: "Ye Nanque, follow me and recite the secret technique I taught you."
Ye Nanque: "Wait a minute!"
He performed a purification spell to remove all the dirt from being a beggar, but felt that it was not enough, so he washed his face with stream water.
He asked Kuan Yi, "Is he handsome, buddy?"
Kuan Yi: “…”
System: [Oh wow, so cool.]
Ye Nanque patted his chin and said, "Thank you very much."
Kuan Yi: “…Thank you for what?”
Ye Nanque: "I see appreciation in your eyes."
Kuan Yi: “…”
Is this Ye Nanque? Why does she look a bit like the Ye Nanque in his memory, yet also a bit different...
Ye Nanque cleared his throat to hide his nervousness: "Okay, let's start."
The scene around him changed immediately, and the bitter sea of extremes in his memory appeared before his eyes. Times had changed, and after so many years, the bitter sea of extremes had remained unchanged. The Mirror Lake before him was as calm as it had been yesterday, seemingly clear and transparent, yet it was bottomless.
Kuan Yi said, "Master, I have brought the person here."
The voice of the Great Master of Immortality came from all directions: "Ye Nanque, I knew many years ago that Mu Jiulin could not enter the Shura Sect. You are the reason. You have a strange fate. Seven years ago, Ye Nanque disappeared from the Mirror Lake, and the sealing and suppressing formation was automatically lifted. I thought you would disappear completely, but I didn't expect your fate to be hidden in a corner of Jiuzhou."
Ye Nanque: "The magic circle is lifted, then he..."
"He's waiting for you in Mirror Lake."
Ye Nanque practiced the Water Avoidance Technique and was about to step into Mirror Lake when Kuanyi suddenly pulled out his own knife and handed it to him: "I'll lend it to you."
Everything in the lake was transparent, and he could see the huge cocoon almost at a glance.
The sealing formation disappeared, but the cocoon still existed, like an iron-clad fortress. Ye Nanque understood Kuan Yi's intention in giving him the knife.
He exerted his strength, and the blade slashed through the cocoon. Everything in the lake was silent, including the sound of the cocoon threads breaking one by one. Ye Nanque could only see them slowly spreading their tentacles in the water like flower buds.
As the layers of the cocoon are peeled back, the people contained within gradually emerge.
Ye Nanque's hand touched that face.
Mu Jiulin seemed to still think that he was in the formation. There was a faint demonic energy flowing in his body. He was just maintaining a dormant state. His face hardly changed. He looked calm and had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mu Jiulin still maintained a hugging posture, but the body he was hugging had disappeared.
Ye Nanque pinched his face lightly with her fingers.
"Sleeping Beauty," he called softly, "It's time to wake up."
Those eyes, tightly closed like shells, seemed like a tide pouring in through the cracks, flowing back and forth.
Ye Nanque moved closer and placed a lingering kiss on Mu Jiulin's eyes: "Isn't that what it says in Andersen's Fairy Tales? If you don't wake up, I'm really at a loss."
The pair of shells had lavender and blue veins, and the pearls moved under the veins.
Opened.
Red pupils, like pearls soaked in blood. Ye Nanque was not afraid. His water-avoiding technique covered himself and the other person, and a pair of hands pulled him closer.
He heard the other person's breathing resume, and then he suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
Everything is quiet in this water.
The sound came.
The voice said, "Hello, Senior Brother."
In a trance, Ye Nanque saw a red line growing between his fingers. It was glowing, extremely thin, fragile and tough, floating in the water, and the other end of the winding line was tied between Mu Jiulin's fingers.
He moved the line with his hand and found that the line seemed to have existed for a long time.
It's been so long that it can no longer be cut off by any method.
