that I didn't even realize she had woken up. Not only had she woken up, but she was staring at me, while holding a torn piece of cloth in her right hand.

"Tissue?"

Are you offering me that? A feeling of incongruity came over me. I reflected and imagined many possible scenes, but I'm not sure how I could face the situation head on. Should I stay away from her and spy her secretly? Or take her with me?

"Yes,…, for tears."

"Tears?"

I touched my face with my hands, noticing the humidity on it. Did I just cry? I looked in surprise at the tears that were on my fingers. This is indeed surprising; I don't remember crying before. I never did, like Mo Hei Xin; and not like Hei Xin either.

I extended my left hand and took her 'tissue'. I looked closely at her clothes looking for the origin of the fabric, it didn't take me long to realize that a piece of fabric was missing from her left sleeve. I used it to dry the humidity from my face, throughout the entire process I kept my gaze fixed on her.

"You …"

"I'm Hui Ying, what about you?"

'Hui Ying? Should I assume that she's someone else?'

"Me?"

"Yes, it is polite to share your name when the other person has already told you theirs, right?"

"…, yes, I am Hei Xin."

I have a strange feeling of something is wrong. Is this supposed to be normal procedure in a situation like this? Introduce yourself politely and courteously? I'm not sure how to continue the conversation under these circumstances.

The woman who introduced herself as Hui Ying took my hands and shook him up and down, with a smile on her face the entire time.

"Nice to meet you, Hei Xin."

"Ehh, …, I say the same."

I think externally I'm looking like someone with mental retardation. Considering the situation, I can assume that Tian Xin's soul has disappeared, and who is in possession of her body right now is a person named Hui Ying.

Has the same thing happened to she as me? Do I still need to kill her if she's not the same person? I thought I would be the only one in such a peculiar situation, but apparently, I overestimated myself. If it has happened to me; Why couldn't it happen to others? The girl wanted to continue talking, but I cut her off with a question of my own.

"Do you know what planet we are on?"

"What question is that? On Earth, where else..."

Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

"Aaah…"

Suddenly, the girl began to scream in pain. Quickly, I summoned a spherical dome that separated us from the outside noise. I watched as she grabbed the hair on her head in an attempt to dull the pain with a distraction. I took a pill out of the ring and put it in her mouth.

The screams gradually stopped, until it completely calmed down. The girl named Hui Ying dropped her body towards me. I didn't reject her search for support, I let her lie on my shoulders and rest. I felt how her agitated heartbeat slowly calmed down, until it stabilized completely.

After calming down, she separated from me. And took a few steps away from me, looking at the ground; trying to avoid my eyes. Her attitude looked completely different from before.

'Are the screams from before due to the incoming flow of memories into her soul?'

Cautiously, she raised his head and asked me a question while looking into my eyes.

"You're going to kill me?"

"It depends, do you still like Ye Xiu?"

"No!"

"Then you have nothing to fear."

Hearing my words, Hui Ying relaxed the tension that had built up in her body. Apparently, she has already completely assimilated the memories. This is something new, a partner from Earth has emerged; It's a strange feeling, I never thought about the possibility of such a situation happening.

What should I do now? I don't think she is the only one, it is possible that more cases like these will arise. But since i'm on this, it's better to keep her close than far away.

"Have you assimilated the memories of your new body?"

With a more relaxed attitude, she answered my question energetically: "Yes!"

"Then you know who I am, right?"

"Yes, you are Mo Hei Xin; publicly known as The Blood Demon Mo. But can I still call you Hei Xin?"

Apparently, she has regained her former enthusiasm. Sigh, what a strange situation.

"Yes, you can address me like that, if you want. Anyway, since you know my title; You must know the authority I possess. I want you to come with me, in exchange, I will protect you from any danger for 5 years. Do you accept?"

"Does it include food and bed?"

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at her response. Is this what someone should ask in a situation like this? By God, I'm not a very arrogant person; but she should be happier if someone like me offered her such a deal. In frustration, I answered her question.

"Yes, does the lady want anything else?"

Perceiving the irony in my voice, she jokingly replied:

"Hehe, for now it will do."

'What thick skin this girl has.'

Sigh, I'll settle for her for now. I removed the dome and opened a spatial rift that led to Zheng Yi and Ye Li's location.

"Wow, impressive. Am I really in the wuxia world?"

"Do you read novels?"

"Yeah! Not to brag, but I have read a lot."

"It seems not enough; you should at least know the difference between the xianxia and wuxia genre to consider yourself a true fan of oriental novels."

"Hahaha, it was a test; Congratulations, you've made it through."

I exhaled a strong breath, stopped playing with her and spoke to her with my back turned.

"Let's get out of here."

I continued walking towards the crack, but stopped when I noticed that Hui Ying did not move from her spot. Don't tell me she's going to have another heart attack.

"What's the matter? Do you regret accepting the contract?"

"…, you. Are you from Earth too?"

'God, was it because of this? A lot of drama for such a small matter.'

"What gave me away?"

"Novels…"

"Anything else?"

"No?"

"Of everything I've told you, did you only react to novels? I have also asked you what planet you live on, and if you assimilated the memories. You don't seem very smart."

Her face flushed red as she couldn't refute my mockery. She ignored what I said and ran towards the space crack. Before entering, she turned and said:

"A real fan is not as slow as you."

After saying those words, she quickly entered the crack; I stared at where she went, not knowing what to say.

Why is she acting like a little child? I'm starting to think it's possible she's just a child. I let out a sigh and started walking towards the rift. Without being aware of it, a smile formed on my face as I passed through the spatial fissure.

'She looks a lot like her.'
