258 5.1.0 – His Intellectual & Her Genius – The Sleepless Elite’s Wife

The council watched the arriving cage, examining the man that regained his consciousness.

Why couldn’t they simply send Guan Fei to a new soulmate rather than complicating things between the established couple?

Everything was because of this man.

Sending Guan Fei to the same world was Xuan Mu’s idea.

In the past, he and Bing Shi put a lot of emphasis on their private life and safety, and someone decided to leak everything; every dirty secret about Bing Shi and her family, who didn’t have the cleanest records. With time, they found a solution on how to go against the culprit whose power was beyond their comprehension.

Suspicious of Guan Fei, Xuan Mu was stone cold on getting rid of his stepsister that was famous for her ‘grandiose’ schemes. Bing Shi was against it, thinking that he was getting paranoid over her safety, which he truly was.

Blame it on his nth sense or so, but when it came to Bing Shi, he could feel danger coming her direction miles away. Didn’t his nightmares become a reality? She was tortured by her rapist in the past. And someone truly stole her away from him (his other lifetimes).

There was a golden opportunity right before him, how could he let go of the resource called Guan Fei?

After they gave him the basic information regarding soul energy, Xuan Mu made a deal with the HQ. He suggested they send his soulmate with him together with Bing Shi’s mission. (Like this, they’ll gain energy from the soulmate bond, while he... he could take advantage of Guan Fei’s mission.) If it didn’t work out with Guan Fei (which didn’t because Guan Fei decided to abandon her mission), he’d help Bing Shi finish her mission three times faster.

.....

What he was afraid of was the time for him to retain these particular memories.

Xuan Mu put all his trust into Bing Shi, to prove to the HQ that there was no point in locking his memories when sooner or later he’d recall his memories. If not all, at least some.

It took longer than predicted. That veteran host, Guan Fei. was either too sharp, too fearful, or too prideful.

Guan Fei had a reason to hate Bing Shi, to see her as a white lotus bitch. Guan Fei’s warped view of Bing Shi was due to the heightened senses and hate for white lotuses. His wife had a hard time getting attached to someone. She couldn’t help the thoughts of taking advantage of other people, and her feelings weren’t the most genuine. Bing Shi didn’t make friends, but allies. She would try to compensate it by treating everyone nicely, which could sometimes be misunderstood as two-faced. Xuan Mu on the other hand saw it as her being a professional, similar to a stewardess that had to keep her conduct despite a passenger being an ass.

Xuan Mu stared at his surrounding with eyes like hollows of madness. “What’s the cause of my fatal insomnias?” Asking, he had made the ring on his left hand disappear.

“There are two possibilities. First, your soul was trying to break the connection with your soulmate, or second, your body couldn’t withstand the power of your soul.” One of the arbitrators spoke out. Just like human bodies, souls could evolve too. With the difference that souls were less predictable.

The stakes were turned over. From being a predator, Guan Fei ended up as another victim of their ploys. He was able to sever the bond with his soulmate, throwing him into the reincarnation cycle would equal even a bigger loss for the HQ.



They thought of giving Xuan Mu control over other System’s and Host’s missions, considering his predicting abilities, which would be more beneficial than sending him into the same world with Bing Shi. Xuan Mu staying in the headquarters would be necessary for them to manage the enormous amount of systems.

Trying to separate him from Bing Shi? Xuan Mu refused without blinking an eye and again, suggested a few ideas.

They would agree to his idea only after they evaluate Xuan Mu’s and Bing Shi’s performance.

Both passed.

All of this for Xuan Mu to be able to get transferred to the same world as Bing Shi with his body of his choice, for his Bing Shi to have something nice to look at. What were the chances of him being transferred into a cripple? Without Guan Fei? High. (He didn’t want Bing Shi to sacrifice her points for his ticket. He was sure that she would find a better use of them.)

Currently, they were about to offer Xuan Mu an entirely new role in their headquarters.

Except for the trial F worlds, the headquarters couldn’t gain a direct connection with the other worlds. The world would cut any type of wireless communication with their systems. For example, Kuro would always have to leave the world when it wanted to inform them of something, which would always cost them a considerable amount of EP.

It would take time before Xuan Mu could comprehend the vast information and find a solution to the problem. During that time, he’d transfer to the same world as Bing Shi. He’d obtain his separate tasks and a body of his choice. (His body choices would be more restricted compared to hers.)

“From today onwards, you are the Proxy of Dimensional Abyss and System Headquarters.” The arbitrator announced, “Your Apparatus was created per your instructions.”

Standing up, the metal bars around Xuan Mu vanished. Turning his right hand around, a complicated tattoo wrapped itself around his fingers, hand, and wrist. Pressing his ring finger with his thumb, a screen appeared before his eyes, showing him the information regarding the technology behind the tattoo and his mind, “About my wife...”

“She’s fine...”

Before Xuan Mu could inquire more, they teleported him to an empty room.

?Mr. Jelly:? Their designing team is exceptional. I’m sure you would like to meet them one day.

No response.

Xuan Mu clutched his hand.

Something must have happened to Bing Shi or Kuro.

‘Bing Shi...’ Gritting his teeth, Xuan Mu chose a body and waited to be transmigrated. What he didn’t expect was to be transferred immediately. The last time, he had to wait for Bing Shi to choose her body first.

After sending Xuan Mu to the new world, the HQ couldn’t comprehend one thing.

They could never lock his memories forever.

Was it the world’s law?

Or was it Xuan Mu’s soul that chose a corresponding timeline of memories?

Thinking that he already retained all of his memories, they didn’t pursue the issue further.

Regardless...

There was still one lifetime of memories left, hidden from everyone.

· · — · ???· — · ·

° Her fourth lifetime...

° Inside the Institute of Applied Physics and Engineering...

° Before the finals, a group of freshmen in formal suits and dresses waited in front of the classroom nervously.





° “I’m going to fail thermodynamics. I’m going to fail thermodynamics...” One student mumbled under his nose as he went through his notes, “What’s the need for all these abstractions and strange hypothetical processes? Like why reversible heat transfer via infinite heat reservoirs?”

° “Hi guys,” a girl’s voice called out, carrying a backpack, she neared the group and checked the number of the classroom while taking out her calculator, “I wrote all the equations at the back of my calculator. Do you think I’ll be found out?”

° The students looked at the unfamiliar face. Wearing a pair of black-rimmed specs, the girl was clothed in a simple yet formal blue dress. The classes were often mixed up, and not everyone attended the lecture, so not everyone recognized the other. She could also be a distant learning student who only arrived to take the exams.

° “Mr. Wan cares about his research more than teaching; I heard that he always read books during the exams.” A male student showed off his cheat sheet. He was going to attach a paper harmonica under the desk.

° “Looks like lots of work were spent on it.” Xue Bi [: Subi] examined the content of his cheat sheet while trying to explain the other student’s issue, “Reversible heat...”

° Most people had one or two tricks up their sleeves. Not holding back, one after another, some started to share their secrets, not realizing that they began to understand and remember the concept more by teaching others rather than listening to boring lectures.

° “Mr. Wan told me to open the class for you.” Interrupting the stressed students, a cleaner took out a bundle of keys and opened the classroom for the kids, “You can get inside first.”

° While the students seated themselves behind the desks, they tried to cram the last knowledge into their heads, except one male.

° Sitting at the front row, Lu Kai supported his chin on his palm as he stared at the entrance tiredly. Looking younger than most students, his prominent, dark under-eye circles indicated that he probably skipped a few days of sleep in order to study like everyone else.

Every student wanted to cough up a river of blood when the examiner finally appeared and started to check their IDs and attendance. It was her! The one who asked if she would be found out with her cheat sheet! This time, she also wore a white coat. What more, following behind her, there were two huge Bullmastiffs! Who allowed her to carry dogs inside? Wait! Sweat poured down their foreheads. They were doomed. She knew where they hid all their cheat sheets! This teacher was a devil’s incarnation!
