Chapter 164: This is a Real World

Without any justified reason, they are not so sloppy as to leave their posts. So what happened?

For some reason, Yun Shu had a bad feeling that she couldn’t shake off.

Enemy invasion? It’s impossible with having all those top class master martial artists and divine beasts around the camp.

A strike? Zhu Zhengting wouldn’t let them off if they made the wrong move and pissed him.

Sudden ambush? The Crown Prince is more than enough to take care of it by himself.

So what is happening?

Yun Shu was feeling restless, since she knew this situation could hurt her people. But she couldn’t storm out of the quarter carelessly and waste all the efforts she put into creating the stage.

Currently, Yun Shu was supposed to be dead in this time period, but the course of momentum changed.

’Ever since the moment you avoided your fated death, the heavens will take notice of you, Host.’ Chen Yi said in a serious voice.

’But I’m just an external source from another world, why would they try to harm me?’ Yun Shu clicked her tongue, obviously annoyed.

Here she was thinking, she would end the war quicker than the intended time period and give a surprise to Bai Yunxian. Now that plan is also wasted!

But, wait! What does he mean the heavens will notice me?

Isn’t this world just a story plot inside a game?!

Chen Yi knew what Yun Shu was thinking just by the expression on her face, he sighed as he shook his head.

’I really can’t do anything about her.’ Chen Yi thought as he smiled quietly, resigning into hope.

“Honestly, I’m not surprised that it took you long enough to understand that this world is real, not just any game you are playing, Host. but don’t ask me for answers I’m forbidden to.”

“This world is real and not a game? I, it’s real, I’m real, he is real too…” Yun Shu shook her head in disbelief, having a hard time digesting the information that she suddenly found out.

“Well, it’s true that you crossed time and space dimensions and entered another world, but everything happening here has a purpose and reason. You don’t need to fret over this, host. Since I’ll deliver you safe and sound back to your world.” Chen Yi’s voice was strangely calm and a bit cold, the machine voice showed some emotions that Yun Shu was able to detect for some reason.

“Going back home…” Yun Shu mumbled as she thought.

She has a home she can return to, the Yun Mansion…

’Strange, why can’t I remember my address?’

’My address was… wait, I can’t remember?!’

’What was the name of my company?’

Yun Shu was deeply shocked to find out that some certain memories of herself had been erased from her memory.

Why is this happening?

“Hos… host! Snap out of it! What are you thinking about??” Chen Yi’s scream made Yun Shu come back to reality, but she opened her mouth to ask something unexpected.

“Then, what are you? What is the purpose of your existence, Chen Yi?”

Even though Yun Shu tried to change the topic after she panicked to find out her messy memory, the question that came out of her mouth was unexpected even for herself as Yun Shu covered her mouth with both hands.

’Oops, I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have asked this…’

“… My existence, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you helped my client by doing your mission and went back to where you belong.” Chen Yi’s voice sounded calm and resilient, like a man who gave up and accepted his fate.

“You don’t have to be considerate of my feelings or emotions either, I’m not a human after all. And a system like me can’t harbor emotions.” Chen Yi said.

“Even so, I shouldn’t have done this, you have been helping me all this time, Chen Yi. I’m really sorry. I was distracted for a moment and acted rudely without thinking, don’t hold it back.” Yun Shu sighed as she pinched her nose, regretting what she did when a childish sound of laughter surprised her.

“Haha, it’s alright, Host. Sometimes I too, feel lucky to have accepted such a kind host like you, who even apologizes to a machine without feelings. Anyway, pay attention to what I say from now on.”

Chen Yi’s mood lifted in an instant as he turned happy again, the sound of his laughter sounded too mechanical for it to be real. But for some reason, Yun Shu felt a strange emotion in her heart that she can’t describe.

At times like this when Chen Yi acted like a child, her heart warmed up like an affectionate mother to her son.

If she were to have a child someday, would she feel this warmth too?

Would that child, too, laugh so heartily like him?

Yun Shu thought all this by herself, but never told them outloud.

Because there are some things in this world that’s better to be hidden.

“The heavens will take notice of you after this incident and come after you again, stay in one place and don’t move around. Only in this way can I protect you, host.”

Chen Yi’s argument wasn’t wrong considering her soul belonged to another place, her coming here literally means crossing an enemy territory, or even an invasion that no one would like.

Since she was able to pass by from death, the system weakened her strength to limitations. And this limited season would be there till the war ends, to avoid her supposed bad ending. Though it’s not that the war would end in any other way and stray from the plot, it doesn’t matter if Yun Shu was present or not at this point.

Back to reality, Yun Shu’s body was now quite frail, even sitting straight up all the time was hard. So she leaned her back on the bed and crossed her legs, staring at the entrance of the quarter.
