Chapter 008 Ghost boyfriend
…
Eeyahhh!!!
Sonya Tang shrieked as she jumped to the side. Her heart almost leaped out of her chest, she was really startled to see the person standing on the side.
Along with her, that person also was startled that she almost lets go of the glass of water in her hand.
"Mom!... Why would you do that?!" Anne Jing said with an annoyed expression as she looks at her clothes which are now wet with water.
"Anne… It… it was you… I… I thought…"
"You thought what? You thought I was a ghost? Gosh, mom…" Anne said as she pouted.
Sonya Tang quickly wipes the water on her daughter's face.
"Sorry, mom did not intend to shout… Go back to your room and change your clothes… Oh, by the way… how about… Jisoo?"
"She is sleeping… I woke up because I felt parched… You go to sleep too… Stop sneaking like a thief…" Anne said as she walked to her room still showing a pouting face.
Inside Anne Jing's room, Sung Jisoo is lying on the mattress spread on the ground.
As Anne Jing went back to bed and slept, a small smile crept on Sung Jisoo's face.
She could hear the shrieking outside and the conversation, and she knew that the mother, Sonya Tang, might have seen something a while ago. She was too focused on breaking through to the 1st level that she did not notice it.
Luckily she was able to finish on time and was not seen by Anne Jing. But of course, this is not of her concern. Sooner or later, they would still discover her abilities, so she is not worried about it anyway.
"Hmm… I think it is better for me to have my own room. I saw a vacant room here. Maybe I can just clean it tomorrow…" Sung Jisoo thought.
After stepping once again in her path to cultivation, she has now the means to defend herself. However, her goal is not to be a sovereign of this world. What she just wanted is a fun and normal life for now.
Gaining some fame would also not be that bad… after all, she is here to enjoy life.
After a while, she suddenly remembers that she is still not familiar with this world. She has learned from her memory that there is a thing in this world called… the Internet.
She slowly shifted her gaze at Anne who is lying on the side.
Then she bit her finger and with a quick movement of her hand, draws a glyph on Anne's forehead. Since she has reached the 1st level she could already use these kinds of low-level spells. This spell would make sure that Anne Jing would not suddenly wake up from her sleep.
"Sorry… I need to use your phone for a minute…" she muttered as she took the phone on the side.
"Hmmm… How does this work?" she thought as she looks at it.
"Fingerprint?" she read in confusion.
Then after a while, an idea came to her mind as she tried to imitate how Anne holds the phone.
It took her a while before figuring out how to open the phone using Anne Jing's fingerprint.
She then quickly tried to browse the internet. She may not have used it before, but in her memory, she already has an idea of how things work.
Soon, she was able to learn more about the world she is in.
"Earth, 2015… The most prevalent thing in this world is technology… Though it is not that advance yet, it is already enough to be considered as the dawning of the new technological age for this planet…" she muttered as her eyes quickly scanned everything she sees on the phone screen.
"The mortals of this world live short lives… I guess this is the reason for the improvement of the technology… But I can sense something in their blood… It is prevalent to each and every person in this world ever since I woke up on this planet." she muttered after reading some of the text.
Although Sung Jisoo has become a mortal now and is just like everyone else, her body has still been imbued with Reiki for a long time. It did not only improve her brain function, it even evolves her senses and most of her higher bodily functions.
So reading and memorizing is as easy as pie for her.
It took her a while before she finally lies down on the bed and began to ponder over the things he has learned about the world she is in right now.
"This is an interesting world… I guess I would really enjoy my stay in here." She muttered with a smile on her beautiful face before closing her eyes and falling to sleep.
…
The next day…
After breakfast, Sung Jisoo and Anne Jing hailed a cab and went directly to the closest shopping center in Vie City.
"I'm excited to buy some clothes for you…" Anne Jing said while giggling and then taking some selfie shots inside the cab.
She could not help but praise the beauty of Sung Jisoo as the two of them giggled like sisters. Sung Jisoo could not help but once again bask in the emotion she is experiencing right now.
Ever since regaining the 1st level of Breaking Mortality, she suddenly feels the remaining chains that have been inhibiting her emotions for the past 999 years still there in her mind. But, it could not control her anymore.
Since breaking through to the demi-god realm, the chains have partially been broken and what's more, it wasn't able to repair itself as she suddenly enters this Reiki barren world.
And because of that, her emotions have now been unlocked and she is experiencing such sweet chaotic sensation deep within her heart.
And one of those feelings is the so-called friendship.
Last night while searching for information about this world, she decided to search the word… friend. This came to her mind when her sight landed on the sleeping figure of Anne Jing.
And to her astonishment, the word friendship came with the word bond. And of course, after searching for a while, she could tell that these words are interconnected to each other. Although it looks chaotic and very hard to deal with right now, she also thinks that it would be fun to experience such emotion.
Meanwhile, the driver who noticed the two beautiful women behind his cab showed a faint smile on his face.
"You two girls are very beautiful… Are you cousins or something?" he asked.
"Hihi… We are best of friends…" Anne Jing said with a big and proud smile.
"Umm… Yes…" Sung Jiso also agreed.
Seeing the two beauties smiling… the driver almost runs the red light.
"Damn it… Beauty is really a dangerous thing…" he thought while deciding not to look at the two ladies behind him.
He especially found the one with the strange aura around her very weird. It's like her eyes have a tantalizing feeling when looking at them.
Soon, the cab reached the shopping center and the two alighted from it.
"You two take care now!" he said as he drove away.
"Hmm… What a nice guy…" Sung Jisoo said as she showed a faint smile on her face.
She did not know why but she found the man very amiable. In fact, she left something tucked inside the seat of the cab because she has a good impression of him.
"What do you mean? That taxi driver?" asked Anne Jing.
"Yes… Anyway, I wish him good luck…" she said while they enter the shopping center.
The two began to look at the bargain clothing and had fun checking out clothes and trying them on.
Sung Jisoo was truly in awe of what she is seeing right now. The clothes in the city are truly different from her memories which are coming from a small mountain villager's perspective.
But she did not want to blame anyone as she has already been provided with the basic identity by the world. She would not ask for more as it is enough for her to use as a cover so that this world will not turn on her or call her… an alien.
And so, she enjoys choosing clothes with Anne and the two did not notice the time flying by.
Anne Jing's mother is working in a company. Although the pay is not that high, it is also not that low either. So Anne Jing is able to keep some money as her savings. And right now, other than the money her mother has given them, Anne Jing is also using some of her savings to buy stuff for Sung Jisoo.
…
Soon it was already lunchtime and Anne Jing started to feel famished. They decided to eat lunch at the fast-food area of the shopping center.
While the two are were heading to the fast-food area, someone suddenly called out to Anne Jing.
"Well, well… if it isn't Anne Jing... One of the campus belles… What are you doing? Shopping for cheap clothes?" the haughty young woman said when she walked close to the two.
Her voice has a tinge of sarcasm and jealousy in it.
But she froze when she saw the young woman beside Anne Jing. She did not expect to actually see someone more beautiful than Anne Jing.
She has already resented Anne Jing for being more beautiful and attractive than her. And now she saw another woman who is prettier, and this made her feel jealous.
The haughty young woman is Wilma Lin, the rich young lady of the Lin family and is a known socialite. Because of her status, she has many friends and is considered a beauty. But the two before her are above her level, so how could she not be envious?
However, she did not want to show it on her face.
They might be beautiful, just like a goddess… No, no, she did not say that word. Especially that unknown woman, she is not a… goddess.
While these thoughts came to Wilma Lin's mind, she could not help but grit her teeth. She could not help it as she glared at the two women.
While Wilma Lin is having a conflicting feeling in her heart… the eyes of Sung Jisoo suddenly change their color from black, to dark blue.
When this happens, everything in her surroundings suddenly changes. All of the unknown elements and unseen things became visible to her sight.
And she is able to do this now because she is now in the 1st level of the Breaking Mortality Realm.
And what she is looking at this moment is something that normal people would fear if they are able to see them.
It is something that no ordinary human could withstand looking at because most people are afraid of it.
That's right… right now she is looking at a… ghost.
