Chapter 1265 - 1232: Is This a Coincidence?
"Spirit Stone!"
In the real-world villa where Lin Yi lived, everyone looked curiously at the faintly glowing Crystal Stone in Lin Yi’s palm and asked:
"What’s that for?"
Lin Yi stared gravely at the Spirit Stone in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then chose to keep it secret and said:
"Just a little gadget."
Then Lin Yi clenched the Spirit Stone in his palm and slipped it into his pants pocket:
"You guys wait here for me for a bit, I’m going out for a while."
Before anyone could react, Lin Yi had already disappeared from the living room, leaving everyone staring at each other.
Heaven-Gifted Ouyang Hao looked completely dumbfounded and said:
"Looks like Boss Feng’s got something on his mind?"
"Did you guys notice anything?"
The ridiculously handsome Guo Shaojie guessed:
"You think it might have something to do with that thing Boss Feng was holding?"
Xiao He and Shen Yanhua:
"Exactly!"
"We’ve never seen that thing before."
Right at this moment, Zhan Chen and Zhan Tianpeng suddenly dropped a bombshell:
"Don’t you guys think that Crystal Stone just now looked like an in-game item?"
Everyone was instantly shocked.
Ouyang Hao also got interested and voiced his own judgment:
"Now that you mention it, it really does look kind of like a Magic Crystal Stone."
"Because neither man-made crystal nor natural crystal looks like what Boss Feng had in his hand."
As a rich young master, Ouyang Hao had seen his fair share of things.
Among everyone here, his words carried the most weight.
Guo Shaojie immediately agreed with Ouyang Hao’s guess:
"I’m with Haozi on this."
Mingmen Yue’Er, Shangguan Yue, also joined in excitedly:
"If that’s really the case, how did Boss Feng bring something out from the game?"
It was funny, really.
The fact that Lin Yi could bring game Equipment into reality—none of them actually felt it was strange.
On the contrary, the more they talked the more excited they got, and Shangguan Yue even said:
"If he really can bring game Equipment into reality, I want him to bring back that Rainbow Red Skirt, it’s just too beautiful."
"And it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer, you’d never find that kind of magical fabric in reality."
Ouyang Hao said:
"If that’s really possible, then there are way too many things I’d want to bring back."
Just then, Shangguan Yue suddenly turned to ask Zhang Xinying:
"Xiao Ying-jie, what about you?"
"If it’s true, what would you want to bring back?"
"Me?"
After Lin Yi logged out of the game, Zhang Xinying’s body had completely recovered, and she’d been wondering what her condition had to do with Lin Yi.
Now hearing Shangguan Yue ask her, Zhang Xinying froze for a moment, then said:
"If that’s really possible, I’d want to bring Grandpa Yidra back."
"He’s always wanted to come see our World."
"Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of ability."
As soon as everyone heard this, the room fell into Silence.
Everyone knew that in the game, Zhang Xinying had a Werewolf Prophet Soul Body by her side.
So no one found her wish strange at all.
Not only that.
They all understood and agreed with Zhang Xinying’s thoughts.
After all, in their usual interactions, Yidra, as the Werewolf Prophet, had undeniably helped Zhang Xinying and this little team a lot.
It was just that as everyone’s strength increased, that help might be getting smaller and smaller.
But that couldn’t erase what he’d done before.
While everyone was Silent, the just-vanished Lin Yi appeared in the living room again, leaving them all momentarily stunned.
They saw Lin Yi holding that glowing Amethyst in his palm, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the people present.
It wasn’t hard to read the trace of shock and disbelief in Lin Yi’s eyes.
There seemed to be a faint hint of unease as well?
And that very unease made everyone’s hearts clench involuntarily.
Who was Lin Yi?
Right now in reality, Lin Yi was scarier than Superman.
Something that could make him feel uneasy...
Just being glanced at by Lin Yi made a few of them feel their scalps go numb.
Ouyang Hao couldn’t help but ask:
"Boss Feng, you okay?"
Lin Yi was Silent for a moment, then asked Shen Yanhua:
"Is Jiaying asleep now?"
Shen Yanhua froze briefly, then nodded:
"Since she has to get up early to make breakfast tomorrow, Xiaoying’s been going to bed pretty early."
It was already midnight; aside from the Players and a few night owls, almost no one was still awake.
Seeing Lin Yi look like he wanted to say something but held back, Shen Yanhua asked symbolically:
"Should I go wake her up?"
Lin Yi quickly raised a hand to stop him:
"No need, let Xiaoying sleep."
Shen Yanhua had no idea what Lin Yi wanted to do, so he could only say:
"Oh, okay."
Just then Lin Yi suddenly walked over to Red Eyes, Wang Sijie, who was sitting on the far left of the living room, and handed the Amethyst over:
"Hold this."
Wang Sijie was briefly stunned.
But since Lin Yi said so, he didn’t hesitate at all and reached out to take the Amethyst, closing his fingers around it.
Everyone found Lin Yi’s strange behavior extremely puzzling.
At this point they were all convinced that this crystal really wasn’t as simple as it looked, just as they’d guessed before.
As Lin Yi had expected, after Wang Sijie took the Spirit Stone, the Spirit Stone didn’t react in any special way.
Some might ask, isn’t the Celestial Saint Mother supposed to be female? Why have Wang Sijie try it?
Lin Yi’s reasoning was simple.
Who said the Celestial Saint Mother’s reincarnation had to be female again?
Of course.
That wasn’t the main reason.
Just now, Lin Yi had walked a lap around the villa with the Spirit Stone, and discovered something that made him feel utterly incredulous.
You had to know that the Spirit Stone only glowed when it encountered the reincarnation of the Celestial Saint Mother.
And the distance between the two couldn’t exceed one hundred meters.
Then Lin Yi found out.
The center of that hundred-meter radius was this very villa Lin Yi was in now!!!
To Lin Yi, this discovery was like a bolt from the blue—shocking and tinged with a trace of panic.
What shocked him was that the Celestial Saint Mother’s reincarnation was actually right by his side.
What panicked him was: if that person turned out to be Zhang Xinying...
Lin Yi didn’t dare think any further.
The two of them had gone through two lifetimes (with Lin Yi’s rebirth) to finally end up together; Lin Yi didn’t want to lose her again because of this.
Because he couldn’t guarantee that after Zhang Xinying awakened the Celestial Saint Mother’s memories, she would still have him in her heart.
The worst outcome might be that she would also awaken the memories about that ruler of the Celestial Race.
Once she realized she was the lover of the Celestial Race’s ruler, their relationship would obviously be almost impossible to return to how it used to be.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart.
Very soon Lin Yi mocked himself:
’How could there be such a coincidence in this World?’
Then Lin Yi took the Spirit Stone back from Wang Sijie’s hand.
Under Ouyang Hao and the others’ expectant and curious gazes, Lin Yi directly skipped past several clueless yet extremely excited guys, and finally stopped in front of Yu Na, saying:
"You try."
