Chapter 391 Luxury Villas! Move In Right Away!
Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming looked at the information about the rabbit spirit and was deep in his thoughts.
Well...
It had a wealth of experience and had fought in many battles! Were all the spirit bodies that unrestrained?
He thought about it and decided to have a chat with Xiao-Xiaoji first.
Hence...
He specially invited Xiao-Xiaoji to his office.
Buzz—
An Original Card floated over.
There were some images on the card.
“Hello.”
Lu Ming smiled. “Are you Xiao-Xiaoji[1]...”
Cough.
Lu Ming paused briefly, stifling his urge to use modal particles. He tried to do away with the modal particle. After all, these days, it was better not to use them.
“Hello, President.”
Xiao-Xiaoji was excited.
This was the first time it had a private meeting with the president. It did not let its master know about it!
It was thrilling!
“Tell me.”
Lu Ming looked at him. “What’s your friend’s situation?”
“It is always being hunted down.”
Xiao-Xiaoji sighed. “As you know, after a spirit body is born, one usually muddles along without any goals, until one day when one is caught. Life is full of troubles...
“Most of them just drift along, waiting to die.
“So...
“Spirit bodies will never consider their future or think about life. Life is good enough as long as they have regular meals and can satisfy their own desires! There are some spirit bodies who become stronger and keep engaging in battles so as not to be eaten! This is because they don’t have to think about anything else!
“There is no time to think!
“For us...
“Staying alive is the biggest problem.
“But...
“Living in such a way is too miserable!
“When I was doing delivery today, I encountered my friends. They are still on the run for their lives. After seeing me, they asked about the Sword Card Master Association...
“I gave them a brief introduction.”
Xiao-Xiaoji was nervous. “D-did I reveal anything that I should not be telling them?”
“No.”
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
It turned out that...
Spirit bodies had to survive in such a harsh environment!
Well...
The spirit bodies’ lives were too miserable! As they were very precious, many people were after them! They could barely stay alive, not to mention think about other issues!
This information...
Lu Ming looked at the information in his hands and was deep in his thoughts.
Xiao-Xiaoji waited uneasily.
After a long time...
Lu Ming had come to a decision. “Tell it to come for an interview.”
“Really?”
Xiao-Xiaoji stood up excitedly.
“No matter what, we should always try, shouldn’t we?”
Lu Ming smiled. “However, you must tell your friend the required information. I don’t want your friend to run away in fright even before joining us...
“Can it come to the association?”
Lu Ming had to take into the account that it was a spirit body.
“Yes!”
Xiao-Xiaoji nodded. “The rabbit spirit has no issue coming to the association! She can transform into a human being! Although her ears will still be intact, it will be fine as long as we say that she is a cosplayer!”
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded. “You can go and make the arrangements.”
“Sure!”
Xiao-Xiaoji left in excitement.
Lu Ming thought about it and did some preparations for the meeting with the spirit body. The next day, a touch of light surged and the rabbit spirit arrived to make a formal visit.
Well...
It indeed looked like a human being.
It came with rabbit ears. The tail and the ears looked hairy and fluffy.
Of course.
They were all real.
“H-hello.”
The rabbit spirit was excited and nervous about seeing Lu Ming.
“Hello.
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
To tell the truth, he was very curious. Even if the spirit body led a miserable life, at least it was free. But once it became a card spirit, it would never be able to come out!
There was no freedom!
There was no future!
It would be tied to the cultivator forever!
If the cultivator died, it would die as well!
This kind of life...
Why would it prefer the life of a card spirit?
Or perhaps...
There was a conspiracy?
Therefore...
Lu Ming took it very seriously.
“Can you tell me why you want to join our association?”
Lu Ming asked gently.
“The benefits are good.”
The rabbit spirit said without hesitation. “You have no idea how we survive every day. It is pure bliss to be able to lead a life as a card spirit!”
“What about freedom?”
Lu Ming asked.
The rabbit spirit replied. “A card spirit can move about freely! All it needs to do is work normally! It is not as stressful and one can make deliveries happily!”
“Aren’t you afraid of being stuck inside a card?”
Lu Ming asked.
“This is the reason I choose to become a card spirit!”
The rabbit spirit was excited. “To the spirit body, going into a card is tantamount to having a small space of their own!
“Xiao-Xiaoji has already built its own villa!
“Why can’t I?!
“Look...
“We encounter life and death situations outside every day. In order to survive, spirit bodies have to rely on each other and also at the same time be wary of each other, for fear of being devoured. There is no one that can be trusted. However, Xiao-Xiaoji is having a good time in a house. It has a cultivator that cares for it and it has a group of friends like itself...”
As the rabbit spirit explained its reasons, it sounded more and more aggrieved and at the same time envious of Xiao-Xiaoji.
Look at the other cards!
It compared its situation with them!
How could a spirit body lead that kind of life!?
Lu Ming was silent.
Damn!
It turned out that going into a card was tantamount to having a house?!
It was no wonder the rabbit spirit was so excited!
As for her grievances...
Lu Ming could empathize with her. In the past, he had contemplated the same question. Why was he still single at the age of thirty and was still renting houses...
If there was any company that allocated houses and wives for its employees, he would definitely join them right away.
Cough.
...
“Have you thought it through?
“You must know...
“In order to prevent any accidents, once you go into an Original Card, you won’t have any other choice. You will have to live and die with it!”
Lu Ming looked grim.
“I am sure!”
The rabbit spirit had no hesitation.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming smiled. “Let me welcome you to the Sword Card Master Association— affinity department.”
Hence...
From then on, there was a new department in the Sword Card Master Association, it was the sword spirit department, affinity subsection. There was a new mysterious way of integration—voluntary integration!
In this department...
The disciples could choose their desired spirit bodies and the spirit bodies could choose their desired disciples, once both parties had come to an agreement...
Cough.
The card spirit would reside in the card!
Hence...
Lu Ming brought the adorable rabbit spirit with him to look for the two disciples who had yet to have card spirits. They were Li Ergou and Li Mei who was in a wheelchair.
Both of them were salted fish[2.Salted fish: Chinese Internet Slang for a boring and idle person with no ambitions].
All along, Li Ergou had been helping female disciples to have newly born disciples. But he wanted to have a card spirit using the first method! He wanted to rely on himself to have a card spirit!
Therefore...
He still did not have one.
As for Li Mei...
He had no time for a card spirit. He was very happy with playing around with his shadow.
“Hello.
“My name is Li Ergou. If you become my card spirit, I will be good to you. I will work hard on my cultivation. There is no need for you to make deliveries. I will handle them.
“Please believe me!
“I will do my best to be good to you!”
Li Ergou sounded very sincere.
Rabbit spirit!
It was gentle and had a nice voice!
If...
If possible...
Li Ergou was thrilled at the thought of it. He felt that his life was getting ready to take off!
However...
The rabbit spirit’s gaze fell right on Li Mei. His body, his melancholic and carefree gaze and his confidence!
He might be broken in body but was firm in spirit!
He must have gone through a lot in the past!
This was a man with a story!
Most importantly, he had talents! Given his body condition, he was still able to join the Sword Card Master Association. That went to show that he must be very talented!
This point was very critical!
“Hello.”
Li Mei looked calm.
“I choose you!”
The rabbit spirit had no hesitation.
Li Mei was somewhat surprised.
He was not bent on having a card spirit.
“Are you sure?”
Lu Ming was also very surprised.
“I am certain.”
The rabbit spirit was very sure.
Hence...
A man and a spirit body were successful in forming a pair.
Li Ergou was dumbstruck.
Was this a joke?!
This was it?
Lu Ming showed him the information yesterday!
The rabbit spirit had said that—”I hope to find a quiet cultivator who has a good temperament like myself. I won’t shun the person for having a low cultivation level or poor talent. It is fine as long as he or she treats me well!”
Ergou had a mental breakdown.
Didn’t it say that it would not shun people who had poor talent?!
Swindler!
They are all liars!
Hence...
Ergou left in sadness.
One could vaguely hear his slightly indignant voice in the air.
“Heh.
“Woman!”
...
That afternoon.
The disciples of the Sword Card Master Association gathered together.
Over here...
Lu Ming officially announced the establishment of the subsection of the spirit body department, and extended their welcome to the rabbit spirit.
“Hello, everyone!”
The obedient rabbit spirit bowed to everyone and said its greetings.
Shush!
There was dead silence in the Sword Card Master Association.
“Hello.”
Li Haoran stared at the obedient and clever rabbit spirit and its rabbit ears. When it bowed and bent forward, they would shake slightly. He then looked at Xiao-Xiaoshé.
Well...
Li Haoran was deep in his thoughts.
“Hello.”
Ye Liangfei and the rest welcomed it.
Afterward...
They looked at the bright and beautiful rabbit spirit that made their hearts flutter and at the demons and ghosts in their card spirits, they could not help but feel sad and indignant.
Hence...
Ye Liangfei and the rest were deep in their thoughts.
The card spirits were speechless.
Heh.
Men!
...
Anyway.
No matter what.
The rabbit spirit had become Li Mei’s card spirit!
The first spirit body that entered the association was successful in forming a pair.
No one would have expected that after the Sword Card Master Association became popular, the first disciple to join the association was not a cultivator but a card spirit! However, this was only the beginning...
The next day.
More spirit bodies submitted their resumes!
The Sword Card Master Association reviewed their resumes and some of them were allowed to join. Li Ergou finally chose a suitable spirit body from the second batch of spirit bodies!
It was a five-star yellow dog spirit.
Lu Ming had no idea why Li Ergou chose this spirit body. However, it seemed that this was what had happened:
“Woof, hello!”
The yellow dog was very happy. “I am a five-star yellow dog. In the future, we will be good friends. We will go through life and death situations and we will...”
“Heh, a brown-noser.”
Li Ergou sneered.
“Woof!”
The yellow dog was very angry. It charged forward, trying to bite him. In the end, the two of them ended up in a scuffle and the man and the spirit body began to fight with each other, and they eventually complained tearfully to each other.
It seemed that they shared a common experience...
Although Lu Ming did not quite understand.
Anyways, that was how they formed a pair.
The fact that a big yellow dog became a card spirit caused an uproar in the spirit body community.
It was true.
The rabbit spirit was good with words and was adorable. It used to make live broadcasts and would act cute. It was normal that it became a card spirit. However, the big yellow dog...
What was the reason behind it?
If it could become a card spirit, so could the rest of the spirit bodies!
Hence...
They specially researched the two spirit bodies and discovered that they lived in the Original Cards and it was very spacious inside, as wide as about three hundred square meters...
Wow!
True enough, they had mansions!
They knew it.
Once they entered the card, no one would lift a finger on them!
Once they entered the card, they would have a good life!
Up until then...
While some spirit bodies were still suspicious, other spirit bodies came all the way from other cities to the Sword Card Master Association!
Humans might tell lies!
However, the flying Original Cards would not tell lies!
Every Original Card was once a spirit body!
Since they could do it...
So could they!
Hence...
The envious spirit bodies submitted their resumes one after another, hoping to join the Sword Card Master Association...
At this moment.
The Sword Card Master Association had become a sacred place for spirit bodies!
...
Somewhere.
A certain spirit body shop.
A group of spirit bodies were trapped in the corner. There was no life in their eyes as they awaited death. They knew that as spirit bodies, this was their fate. No matter where they escaped to...
Perhaps...
It was good to be dead.
The spirit bodies were expressionless.
However...
At this moment.
In a screen not far in the distance, the news was reporting on a place...
S-Sword Card Master association?
Ten minutes later.
There was a loud bang and several lights flashed. After which, there was the sound of its elder brother.
“Brother!
“You and I are twins!
“They don’t know who we are, hence we have the chance to escape...
“Remember!
“Stay alive...
“Go to the association... live a... good life!”
Swoosh!
It turned into a flash of light and disappeared.
...
At the same time.
In various regions.
There were many cases of escaping spirit bodies.
No one could fathom the magnitude of the explosive power that the spirit bodies had when they suddenly found hope after being accustomed to despair...
Right then...
Countless spirit bodies.
Countless flashes of light.
They rushed toward the sacred place inside their hearts.
...
Somewhere.
At the top of the snow mountain.
This was the place where the Snow Mountain Sect was destroyed.
The altitude here was too high with perennial snow and coldness that pierced the bones.
Now that the disciples of the Snow Mountain Sect had left, it was abandoned. No one would come to this hellish place to cultivate.
Right then.
A middle-aged man walked with difficulty through the snow-capped mountains.
Wow—
The cold wind blew, snow sweeping over the mountains.
The wind was piercingly cold.
The whole world was silent.
He was a herbalist who gathered medicinal herbs.
This snowy mountain was dangerous, however some medicinal herbs were only found there. He had to make the trip. Fortunately, he was an Energy Warrior, his body was tough enough.
Whoosh—
He rubbed his hands, advancing with difficulty in the heavy snow.
However...
Not too far away...
The earth began to tremble. The huge snow mountain started to shake.
An avalanche?
The herbalist was shocked.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
His figure rose.
The energy within him that he was unwilling to use previously burned, in a flash he dashed toward the foot of the snow mountain, managing to keep himself alive.
Not too far in the distance.
The snow mountain trembled, but no snowflake fell.
It was very odd and mysterious.
After a long time...
The sky fell into darkness.
The herbalist looked up and was shocked to discover that the snow mountain actually stood up!!! On the top of the mountain sat a snowy-white figure.
Lights and shadows flashed like a miraculous column of light!
“Are you the one who woke me up?
“Hello.
“However...
“I don’t like the name of the Original Card. My name is Xiaoxue, xue means snow.”
