Chapter 4: Clovie?!

“Why do they want to find me?!”

“How will they get here?!”

“They all carry such overwhelming power; if they enter my world, won’t they cause a disaster in minutes?!”

“And when I left, they cried so hard…”

Countless questions suddenly rose and exploded inside Chen Yuan’s mind.

They finally formed one thought: “Crap… they’re coming to settle accounts with me!”

Just thinking about leaving by “dying” showed him how deep a shadow that decision cast on them.

“Especially Yu. She always carried a hint of madness. I suffered a lot when I tried to reform her. If she learns I never even died…”

He dared not imagine how she would torture him.

“But I reminded her before I ‘died’ that I was only completing a mission, right?”

He comforted himself while picturing her bladed high heels stepping on him. (He swallowed.)

“This isn’t an otherworld full of love and magic where wounds heal with one spell.

“In this world I’ll really die…”

“Young man~ I know you have many questions,” Heaven’s voice said, “but you don’t need to worry too much. Spiritual energy in your world is already thin, so most of their powerful skills won’t work~”

Chen Yuan tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, “Then… this game stays fairly balanced…”

This was not the key issue at all.

“Even a tiny skill from them can still kill me…”

“Then how will they come? Do I… have any way to protect myself?” Chen Yuan pleaded.

“Please don’t let them drop from the sky…”

“If that happens, the police will haul them away in minutes, then send them to Unit 749 for some earth-shaking rescue…”

“That I can’t know, young man~ I only came to remind you. As for protection…”

“Since you worked for me, I’ll grant them legal identities. That way they won’t cause you extra trouble in your world…”

“…Them coming here is already trouble for me…”

“Good luck, young man~ I believe in you~”

The voice gradually faded and the whiteness disappeared.

He returned to his familiar room again.

He finally came back, only half a day passed, he just reunited with his parents, and now he learned they were coming?!

“Did any time even pass since my rebirth?

“My original wish was to be with my parents!”

Yet the moment he thought of the women he met during missions—

“Clovie… Yu… Lin Shuxue… Leia… Sakura…”

Western mythology, Eastern cultivation, urban super-powers—there truly was every kind of world.

The only constant was that any one of these people could crush him like an ant.

“I just hope… the first one who finds me isn’t Yu…”

He felt he could still reason with the others; he left because he had no choice, and they at least talked.

But Yu was different; she never reasoned.

Her hatred for humans ran so deep that he feared she would start a massacre the moment she reached this world.

Thus Chen Yuan spent the whole night wondering what to do, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Yu Enqi in the girls’ dormitory also could not sleep.

“He actually dares not reply to my messages?!”

“Is it worth it over such a trivial matter?! He’s crazy!”

“Fine, if you won’t answer, don’t come looking for me tomorrow!”

“See if I’ll pay you any attention!”

“He even dared to give me attitude. I’ll see who bows first!”

Next day.

Chen Yuan got up with two panda-like circles under his eyes. He thought all night and still did not know what to do.

Mother Chen and Chen Jianye saw this and sighed silently.

So a simple breakup? Impossible. He was so upset that he couldn’t even sleep.

“Go and talk to our son,” Mother Chen said.

“I can’t persuade him. Don’t you know what your son is like? Once he decides on something, even ten oxen can’t drag him back. You saw it before,” Chen Jianye replied.

“Sigh… He really worries me…”

“It’s not that bad. At least he still eats. If in a few days—”

“Shut your crow mouth!” Mother Chen glared at him. “Can’t you hope for something good for our son?”

Chen Jianye stayed silent.

Mother Chen continued, “We should hope that someday our son brings home a prettier girl who loves him to death. That would be perfect.”

Chen Jianye still kept quiet.

“Say something! What does your silence mean?”

“Ah… unless our son saves that girl’s life,” Chen Jianye said realistically.

“Tsk, can’t you speak properly! Our son isn’t lacking anything: looks, height, money… and more looks.”

“His conditions are good, of course, look whose son he is, but look at him now… sigh…”

“Tsk… How can you talk about your own son like that?”

While the couple whispered, Chen Yuan walked over and greeted them.

“Mom, Dad, I’m going out to buy groceries.”

“Let Driver Xiao Zhang bring them later,” Mother Chen said.

“No need. I’ll buy them myself. I can see what to cook, and I’m idle at home anyway.”

After he spoke, Chen Yuan reached the door, waved, and went out.

The bustle of the city center was no less than that of the university town.

Chen Yuan felt in a good mood along the way. Although he didn’t sleep well last night, it didn’t affect his energy now.

Since he died once, he knew worrying was useless; doing his best in the moment was enough.

Take each step and cherish it!

He breathed the free air. Shops on the commercial street were already open, and many delicious aromas drifted through the air.

All those smells came from his memories—they were wonderful.

He walked and bought snacks to eat until both hands could hold no more.

He turned a corner and passed an alley.

Inside, he saw what looked like three men and one woman.

The poor light kept the scene blurry.

He confirmed at least one woman stood there because of her clothes and hair.

Long legs and a head of white hair…

Her height matched the men’s.

Even the blurred silhouette felt attractive.

A group with more men than women in an alley never looked good.

No, even if the numbers matched it still wasn’t good.

Anything shady in a small alley spelled trouble.

Chen Yuan decided to check and see whether he needed to intervene.

Dying once made him reluctant to meddle, yet he once traveled through other worlds; his muscle memory for fighting still existed, so taking down a few punks should be fine.

However, just as he slowly approached for a clearer view, the white-haired girl seemed to sense someone and vanished into thin air in an instant!

Chen Yuan’s eyes widened at once.

If he never saw big scenes before, he might suspect a ghost now.

He stepped closer to the three men and discovered they all stood frozen in place, already unconscious.

And that familiar freezing spell…

“C… Clovie?!”

She even came to my doorstep?!

Chen Yuan looked around. No one was there anymore.

It seemed she really left and never noticed that the newcomer was him…
