"Well, in the next reincarnation, let's create our own memories."
I had another strange dream...
Of course, I've gotten used to these kinds of dreams a long time ago.
As usual, I was responsible for the work in the library, and I must say, the library is the most mysterious place in the treehouse.
Speaking of which, that's why we work in the library... but it seems like that's not entirely true.
I don't like working here, and Yu Nai has the same opinion. She also doesn't like it, just like me.
In the end, we can blame it on the fact that our daily task is just to watch over these books, and there are no customers who visit here, which naturally makes it feel very strange.
Yu Nai pulled me out for morning exercise early in the morning, and since I had nothing else to do, I jogged along with her to the seaside.
But then again, thanks to the help of nanobots, my body recovers very quickly, and I can now run continuously for an hour without any problem.
"Why don't we take a break? I'm getting bored." I suddenly suggested.
"What's wrong?" Yu Nai asked when she noticed that I didn't seem tired at all, "Do you have something on your mind? I've told you, I won't report you. Just relax!"
"I'm not worried about that! I..." I stuttered, and Yu Nai furrowed her eyebrows.
"Xi, go back to your position properly. I won't blame you." Yu Nai didn't say much, she just asked me to go back to my position.
Then, she left the room and went outside to sunbathe.
Hmph, sunbathe...?!
By the way, what time is it now? Is it still possible to sunbathe outside?
I looked at the time, and it's only been three hours in reality, even though so much time has passed in the world of the book.
Just the thought of these three hours gave me a strange feeling.
"I thought this place was already very unfamiliar, but it turns out it's only been three hours."
It's quite amazing how things can be like this. There was a moment when I thought I was going crazy for real.
I've already gotten used to these things, so even if something similar happens again, even if I do go crazy, I won't have any reservations anymore.
Speaking of which, I haven't observed the world we're in right now properly, but the administrator Yukari should know something.
I want to go find her and ask some questions, but I'm still at work and can't leave without a proper reason, so I can only stay here for now.
Although working in the library is monotonous, as long as I learn to entertain myself... *sigh*
This is so boring. If there's something to do, it can only happen in dreams.
After a whole day like this, I'm already exhausted. When nobody's around, like now, I secretly take a nap.
Just as I closed my eyes, Yukari suddenly slammed the table and said, "Juxi, have you reflected enough?"
"Uh..." I suddenly woke up from my dream, feeling startled, and said, "Ma-Manager, I was just bored, there was no one here all day..."
"But Xi, that's not a reason to sleep during work!" Yu Nai said intentionally, as if she was afraid Yukari would punish me too severely.
"Never mind about Juxi, let's talk about Yu Nai," Yukari glared at her.
"I... I didn't do anything, Administrator," Yu Nai said with a look of grievance, but I could see a hint of uneasiness on her face.
"Nothing? Yu Nai, do you know how many visitors were in the library yesterday?" Yukari asked sternly.
Under the intense gaze, even I broke out in a cold sweat.
"I... umm... there was no one... yes, there was no one!" Yu Nai hesitated, and finally said those words.
After she finished speaking, Yukari was completely speechless, with a disappointed expression on her face.
Seeing that Yu Nai had no intention of explaining further, Yukari no longer concealed the truth.
"Do you know, Yu Nai, that there was indeed a visitor in the library yesterday? And this visitor personally told me that you weren't in the library at all, and that there was no one in the library!"
"N-No! Administrator, you can't just believe what that person said so easily, can you?"
"Of course I won't believe it. I only believe what I saw with my own eyes, I won't unjustly accuse anyone."
"Well, in that case, I..."
But before Yu Nai could continue with her excuses, Yukari's face turned livid.
"But isn't it unfortunate! Because yesterday... I was the only customer in the library. Would I still falsely accuse you?"
In fact, Yukari had indeed come yesterday, and she had waited on the scene for a full five hours, even making herself a cup of coffee from the coffee maker in the library and placing it on the table, without waking Yu Nai.
After Yukari recounted the whole incident, Yu Nai finally realized what had happened.
"So, that wasn't Xi who made the coffee..."
"What did you say?"
"N-Nothing! It's, it's nothing..."
"Hmph! If it really needs to be triggered, even you will be punished together, got it?"
"..."
Now, Yu Nai also fell silent, while I stood by and enjoyed the show.
"Oh well, it wasn't such a big deal to begin with! But speaking of which, it would be really strange if someone could focus on this kind of job...right?"
At this point, Nigiri, who was sitting on the bookshelf, jumped down, stunning Yukari.
When they saw Nigiri, both Yu Nai and Yukari remembered that there was someone who had stayed the entire day.
"It was quite comfortable, sleeping on the bookshelf. I slept very well," Nigiri stretched and tapped the dust off her back, seemingly having enjoyed her long nap.
However, the story doesn't end here, because Nigiri's appearance made Yukari even angrier! So, she decided to give everyone the harshest punishment!!!
It was midday, and the temperature here was still quite low. Yukari punished the three of us by making us stand in the cold wind on such a chilly day.
The weather was already cold, and now facing a large fan, it became clear what bone-chilling wind truly felt like.
Over an hour passed quickly, and I, being a man, could still endure it. On the other hand, Yu Nai couldn't bear the cold anymore and was trembling in the corner, hiding from the fan.
As for Nai... well, she's much tougher than me. She has already fallen asleep by now, and it's really surprising that she can sleep in this situation.
Finally, the punishment of two hours is over!
Yu Nai and Nai quickly returned to their own rooms to rest, while I did not go anywhere, but returned to the previous location of the mechanism and raised the book again...
Oh no, it seems like I didn't save last time... oh well, that story was really boring anyway. Let's find a more interesting one!
I flipped through the book, hoping to find something that would interest me.
This... seems to be a strange era, and I've never heard of it before. Is it a fictional world?
The beginning of the story is about the Four Palaces, whose power has surpassed the era of the past and moved away from all peace and tranquility.
And the protagonist of the story, me... didn't have a clue that my life had already changed, that I can never go back to the way things were...
A crescent moon, a long dragon.
The Wu, Ye, Han, and Ling families established the Four Palaces in the east, west, south, and north.
Among them, the Han family is not good at fighting with ordinary people, but they are skilled in disguise and can always escape unscathed in any situation. Their inherited illusion technique is also unpredictable and beyond human comprehension.
Of the remaining three families, the Ling family only focuses on showing off their martial arts skills, not getting involved in disputes.
The Wu and Ye families, on the other hand, are adept in using weapons, especially the Wu family's top secret weapon in the famous battle of Xiyuan- the Thousand Jin Fist!
In the first year of desolation, the Wu family established the Holy God Empire in Imperial City and dominated the Central Plains continent!
With this, the empire system that had been established by the Star Emperor for over two thousand years finally came to an end!
Helplessly, the Emperor of the Star Empire had no choice but to announce a retreat back to the Eastern County.
The contemporary Martial Emperor, Wuduan Tian's father, Wuyan, was a wise ruler who was good at understanding the people's desires, which gained him temporary affection from the people.
But today's theme is not about those in power, the Wu family.
It is about the Ye family, which has been unknown for two thousand years in this prosperous continent!
The ground trembled slightly, and hundreds of soldiers wearing silver battle robes and helmets patrolled everywhere.
The sign on the gate of the mansion read clearly: Ye Family Mansion!
Although there are still many guards in the Ye family, the population is small. Hundreds of thousands of Ye family members live in just one isolated city in the northern wilderness.
In the past, the head of the Ye family, Ye Zhen, was obsessed with the ethereal levels of the immortal realm and called upon millions of blacksmiths from all over the world to forge the highest level of immortality, trying to pursue endless longevity.
"Ah, the Northern Region is not as prosperous as it used to be..."
Sitting on a simple Taishi chair, an old man with gray long hair and thin eyebrows looked at the now desolate and lonely gate, feeling a myriad of emotions.
"Isn't it? Since the Wu Empire took control of the Central Plains, our Northern Region has enjoyed a rare moment of peace, but..."
A young and beautiful woman with a half-veiled face leaned weakly against the old man, her words revealing some bitterness but also a sense of relief.
Underneath her seemingly soft green grass skirt, an unpredictable spiritual energy permeated.
The woman's respectful address to the old man was: "Father, is there really no problem with my younger brother being sent to the Ling family?"
