Chapter 41 My Brain Awakens Automatic Translation Ability
My eyes were sore and weak, and tears kept flowing out, as if they were trying to drain all the tears from my body.
Mu Jianjian opened her eyes with a splitting headache and found herself surrounded by complete darkness.
Mu Jianjian: ...
I hope that male cultivator from the Golden Crow Temple didn't gouge out her eyes.
"Sister is awake!" A male voice said with relief, accompanied by the boy's soft breath.
"Yuanyuan, everything's alright, I'm here." A cool female voice was tinged with anxiety.
As Mu Jianjian felt relieved, a sense of loneliness inexplicably arose within her.
There was no sound she was expecting.
But who is she waiting for?
"Chi Wenqing..." Mu Jianjian called softly, tears welling up again, "Is Chi Wenqing here? Is he alright..."
Sang Wanyue sighed, "He was the one who found you first, but it seems he left beforehand because of something."
"Sister, please take care of yourself first. You're badly injured, especially your right hand. If you had waited any longer, it would have been completely ruined. I'm so worried about you..." Linghu Zhuoyu felt extremely guilty. If he hadn't been so weak, his sister wouldn't have been taken away at all!
He will be the first to save his sister!
"...Yu Yu, Yue Yue, waaaah," Mu Jianjian finally relaxed completely, trembling as she raised her hand and touched two blurry shadows surrounding her in the darkness, "My right hand is broken, and I can't see anymore—"
Even though Mu Jianjian felt her cultivation level rise to the second level of Foundation Establishment, she couldn't stop the mountain of grievances that had accumulated along the way. She burst into tears, but her mind was blank. She felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't recall even the slightest clue.
She seemed to be crying over the miserable escape of the male cultivators at the Golden Crow Temple, and also over something else.
Linghu Zhuoyu looked at Mu Jianjian's raised right hand, which was tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, and was about to speak, "Sister..."
"My right hand hurts so much, I can't move it at all, waaaaaah..." Mu Jianjian wailed again, "And I remember my eyes weren't gouged out, so why can't I see, waaaaah..."
How can someone's health be compromised before even starting a business!
“Yuanyuan, actually,” Sang Wanyue couldn’t bear to look at the girl’s heartbroken appearance, and gently removed the dew that she had previously applied to Mu Jianjian’s eyes with her fingers, “when you were still asleep, you kept crying and scratching your eyes, so I used medicine. Now that I’ve removed it, you can see.”
Mu Jianjian suddenly opened her eyes and saw the two people kneeling beside her. Sang Wanyue had a cold temperament and her eyes were filled with worry, while Linghu Zhuoyu was dressed in his usual flowing veil.
The boy said seriously, "And sister, I used Gu worms to treat your hand. It's barely saved and you can move it now, but you can't do any strenuous exercise for a while."
The crying stopped instantly, and Mu Jianjian turned her attention to her right hand, only to find that it was tugging at Linghu Zhuoyu's clothes.
She awkwardly withdrew her hand, sat up, and suddenly realized that there were more than just the three of them there.
Inside the central palace, the remaining cultivators who had decided to enter the inner layer of the secret realm all looked in her direction.
His eyes looked strange.
"She was first in the mid-level test. Look at the gold ribbon wrapped around her arm. She's just not very bright."
"They probably wanted to lower our guard, so we should be careful."
"Yes, yes, that shout just now startled me. It was so loud and energetic."
Mu Jianjian: ...
Her young heart was hurt again. She clutched her chest. Should she lie back down?
Sang Wanyue frowned, and the moment she looked in the direction of the sound, the murmurs ceased.
Mu Jianjian: With the female lead in front, it's heartwarming and very considerate.
"Sister, once the passage to the secret realm opens, are you still planning to continue, given your serious injuries?" Linghu Zhuoyu asked with concern. "Why don't you come back to Yingzhou with me?"
“I have a reason I absolutely have to go.” Mu Jianjian recalled the plot of the original book, “You…”
In the original book, Linghu Zhuoyu did indeed leave first before the secret realm opened. By the time he met Sang Wanyue again in Yingzhou, he had officially become one of the "Five Eccentrics," a feared master of objects.
"Sister, I'm sorry," Linghu Zhuoyu said, bowing her head. "I have to go back and deal with things over there first."
In fact, he should have left after obtaining the pool water from the underground palace in the outer layer of the secret realm, but he chose to accompany the girl to go one more step. However, he really can't afford to delay any longer now.
His sister had just recovered from her serious injuries, and he was about to leave...
"Why apologize?" Mu Jianjian angrily tugged at the boy's veil. "Just do what you need to do! We'll meet again eventually."
The veil swayed as the girl pulled it, and Linghu Zhuoyu's eyes, one black and one gray, revealed tenderness. He took off the silver bracelet from his wrist and put it on the girl's hand.
He transmitted his voice secretly, "Sister, Chi Wenqing said that the person who was chasing you is dead. All my remaining magical artifacts and pills are here. You must be very careful when you are alone."
What will he do if I give it to her?
Mu Jianjian was about to refuse when she was interrupted.
"Sister, I still have plenty of food on me, so don't worry about me."
"I will protect her." Sang Wanyue stopped behind the girl, her determined gaze meeting Linghu Zhuoyu's through the veil.
Mu Jianjian was so moved that she cried.
But the next test involves random team formation!
——
The inner test area is a maze-like place.
Mu Jianjian was sent to a tall, dense thicket of trees, shrouded in thick fog. While waiting for her random companions, she recalled the plot.
The test is considered passed if the two players team up and walk out of the dense forest.
In the original book, Sang Wanyue is in a team with Ye Wuluo—don't ask, it's just the mysterious attraction between the protagonists.
The two relied on their ferocious strength and overwhelming cultivation to flirt and fight against the monsters in the dense forest maze, and finally passed the test with ease, becoming the strongest.
After searching her mind for a way to pass the level without success, Mu Jianjian also received no response when she called the system.
Its dear host almost died while sleeping, and still hasn't successfully upgraded!
Waaaaah, she really wants to be carried by the female lead!
"Hello...you." A soft, familiar voice came from behind her. Mu Jianjian turned her head, and a slender girl's figure gradually appeared in the thick fog.
"Rong Yuqi!" Mu Jianjian exclaimed in surprise.
"Yuanyuan!" Even though they had only met once, Rong Yuqi really liked her teammate. She quickly walked over to Mu Jianjian's side.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two officially entered the dense forest together.
“There’s a wooden sign here,” Rong Yuqi said softly, “but the words on it are so strange.”
Mu Jianjian looked over and saw a row of densely engraved characters on the wooden sign at the fork in the road. She couldn't help but complain, "What kind of lousy writing is this? It looks like earthworms!"
The original book only briefly mentioned it, but it is said that the characters are ancient traces and no one has recognized them for a long time.
Wait a minute, she felt like she'd seen these words somewhere before, and even the words she was saying sounded familiar.
"Everything will guide the way. To the right is a precipice where you'll be smashed to pieces. To the left... light, and smoothness?" Mu Jianjian translated the words haltingly, and even she was stunned.
Her subconscious told her that the meaning carved on the wooden sign was pretty much exactly right!
Could it be that while she was unconscious, her body automatically gained a cheat code, allowing her to understand any text and any language?
Mu Jianjian turned to Rong Yuqi, who was still completely bewildered, and said seriously, "My brain has awakened an automatic translation ability."
Rong Yuqi: ?
