Passing through the boundary of life and death, crossing the spatial divide between the Underworld and the Human Realm, Ling Xiaoyou followed that tugging sensation and once again arrived in the Human Realm.
The air of the Human Realm was nothing like the dead silence of the Underworld—instead, it was filled with a vibrant, lively aura.
Just by coming to the Human Realm, Ling Xiaoyou felt her body and mind relax in comfort.
It was as if blood flowed through her veins, her heart beating with renewed vigor, every organ in her body awakening—as if she had come alive once more!
But Ling Xiaoyou knew this was just an illusion.
After all, she was a ghost without a physical body.
There was no way she could truly live again.
It was simply that the life force in the Human Realm was so dense that it tricked her body into thinking she was alive.
Even though she had experienced this many times, Ling Xiaoyou still found the sensation wonderful.
No wonder so many ghosts liked to linger in the Human Realm.
Still, fortunately, she was a salted fish. No matter how wondrous the feeling of life, it couldn’t lure her!
To Ling Xiaoyou, whether it was the Underworld or the Human Realm, it made no difference.
As long as there was a place for her to live her salted fish life, that was enough.
Of course, if she could gather a few more Happiness Points along the way, that would be even better!
Ling Xiaoyou shook her little head, snapping out of her wandering thoughts and looked around at the environment she had been summoned into this time.
Hmm, as expected, it was another pitch-black room.
Why did everyone like to summon her in such unlit places?
Even as the Pen Fairy, she didn’t like dark environments!
Needing darkness to summon the Pen Fairy was a stereotype!
Kids, don’t imitate this!
Still, although there was no light here and the place seemed dilapidated as if no one had lived in it for years, the Summoner had considerately lit a Candle, letting its yellow glow illuminate the surroundings.
Looking around, Ling Xiaoyou felt the place seemed strangely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Suddenly, she heard a somewhat familiar voice:
“Pen Fairy, Pen Fairy, you are my Previous Life, I am your Present Life. If you wish to renew our Fate, please draw a circle on the paper.”
She turned her little head toward the source of the voice and was stunned.
She stared in surprise at the Clear-faced Girl who had summoned her last night.
This was the first time Ling Xiaoyou had encountered someone who, after being frightened by her one day, summoned her again the next.
Did this girl have some strange hobby of being scared by ghosts?
Ling Xiaoyou floated in front of the Clear-faced Girl, examining her with a strange look. She didn’t seem like someone with such odd preferences.
She wasn’t worried the Clear-faced Girl would see her. Unless the girl had a cultivator’s abilities, she couldn’t see Ling Xiaoyou if she didn’t wish to be seen.
But well, whatever.
She was just an ordinary Pen Fairy summoned at random.
Even if this girl really had such odd tastes, at worst she’d just have to go along with it.
Thinking this, Ling Xiaoyou retreated a bit, placing her small hand on the Ballpoint Pen the Clear-faced Girl was holding, moving it left and right to signal her presence.
“Pen Fairy, you really came!”
Instantly, Ling Xiaoyou saw the Clear-faced Girl’s expression fill with excitement, as if Ling Xiaoyou’s arrival was some earth-shattering good news.
Strange.
She hadn’t been this excited yesterday.
What happened in just one day?
Ling Xiaoyou felt puzzled, and the Clear-faced Girl’s next words only deepened her confusion:
“Then, may I ask, are you the same Pen Fairy I summoned last time?”
The Clear-faced Girl stared at the Ballpoint Pen in her hand, asking with enthusiasm.
What kind of strange question was that?
What does whether I’m yesterday’s Pen Fairy have to do with you summoning me today?
If I’m not the Pen Fairy you met yesterday, are you going to stop the summoning?
Not the Pen Fairy I like, so cancel the summoning.jpg
Ling Xiaoyou was baffled, unable to grasp what this girl was up to.
Still, even if Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t understand the Clear-faced Girl’s words, her duty as the Pen Fairy compelled her to answer honestly.
She grasped the end of the Ballpoint Pen, slowly moving it toward the word ‘yes’ and circling it.
Seeing this, the Clear-faced Girl grew even more excited, looking borderline abnormal:
“Then, Pen Fairy, can you appear before me? Just like yesterday!”
Wait, little sister, what exactly are you trying to do?
First asking if I’m yesterday’s Pen Fairy, now wanting me to show myself in front of you—could you really have some bizarre hobby?
Let me clarify—I’m not into human-ghost romance!
Ling Xiaoyou grumbled in her heart but didn’t refuse the Clear-faced Girl’s request.
However—
Heh.
Although she planned to appear before the Clear-faced Girl, she never said how she would show up~
A mischievous thought flashed through Ling Xiaoyou’s mind.
She grinned, released her grip on the Ballpoint Pen, and floated to the space above the Foldable Table in front of the Clear-faced Girl.
Then, she sank half her body into the floor, leaving only her little head peeking above the table, crimson eyes staring straight at the Clear-faced Girl.
Heh.
You want to see me?
Then be ready to be startled!
Ling Xiaoyou thought wickedly, then released her invisibility, allowing her figure to appear before the Clear-faced Girl.
“You…why did you call me…?”
Ling Xiaoyou deliberately dragged out her words, her tone filled with ghostly grievance, trying to shock the Clear-faced Girl with both sight and sound.
Unfortunately, her voice was too sweet and pleasant, so the effect wasn’t as strong as she hoped.
Just as Ling Xiaoyou expected, upon seeing her, the Clear-faced Girl was startled, and the Ballpoint Pen flew from her hand.
Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyou pursed her lips at the girl’s clumsy reaction, wondering if she should teach her a lesson about not throwing summoning tools around.
If Ling Xiaoyou were truly the vengeful Pen Fairy from horror movies, tossing away the pen could easily invite some harmful consequence.
But Ling Xiaoyou wasn’t that kind of ghost—just a simple little spirit playing the role of Pen Fairy.
So, she was only a little annoyed, not enough to do anything bad.
“You…you really appeared!”
Just as Ling Xiaoyou thought this girl would faint like last time, she saw the Clear-faced Girl’s face flush red, her hand clutching her chest, breathing rapidly with excitement.
Ling Xiaoyou was dumbfounded.
No way.
Sis, why are you so thrilled?
Someone seeing this might think you were about to do something indecent to me!
