At that moment, Mengdie quickly withdrew her arm and stepped away, distancing herself several meters from Nia. She looked at the two sisters with a serious expression. Confused by Mengdie's sudden action, Nia and Aya exchanged puzzled glances.
During this time, Mengdie lowered her head and began to think carefully. Her first concern was her lack of strength, making survival in this world through force a challenge. More importantly, having just arrived in this world, she was completely clueless about everything. She had no money for lodging or to sustain herself. Worse yet was her current body. Despite her reluctance to admit it, Mengdie also believed that this body had a high potential to "attract" harm. Unable to communicate, even if she wanted to earn money, she might end up being sold and even help count the money she was sold for.
Considering all these factors, her first priority was to find a place to settle down. Then she could slowly familiarize herself with this world and learn its language. At the very least, she needed to understand what others were saying to her before she could start planning her next steps. Staying with the two sisters for now didn't seem like a bad idea.
Mengdie was born into a Buddhist family but was a lay disciple. She wasn’t overly conservative about sharing a room with the opposite sex. However, out of etiquette and male dignity, she refused to enter the bedroom and instead pointed to the tidied table, making a sleeping gesture.
"She wants to sleep on the table???"
Nia looked at her sister in surprise, and Aya was also baffled. Although Nia's bed wasn’t large, it should be no problem to accommodate her and Mengdie, "two girls". Why would anyone prefer sleeping on a table over a bed?
Nia's face fell; she didn't want her hero, who had saved her, to sleep on a table. She tried to pull Mengdie again, but Mengdie pushed her hand away.
Mengdie was serious, and there was no trace of joking in her eyes. She was a man, a belief she had maintained from birth to now! As a man, she absolutely could not casually share a bed with a woman she had just met half a day ago! She was aware that the little girl's enthusiasm was solely because of this female body. If she agreed to share a bed, wouldn't she be indirectly accepting her current body?
Stolen novel; please report.
No... accept? No, that was absolutely impossible!!!
Mengdie's insistence on sleeping on the table turned into a matter of principle. Due to the language barrier, the three of them chattered away, unable to understand each other’s exact meanings. But actions spoke louder than words. When night fell and lights were out in the poor neighborhood, she decisively lay down on the table, covering herself with her long hair like a river, as if declaring her life and death allegiance to the table.
Eventually, her persistence paid off. Aya brought out a pillow and a blanket from the bedroom for Mengdie and returned to her room with a dejected Nia. Mengdie smiled friendly at them, covered herself with the blanket, blew out the lamp, and welcomed her first night in this world in the silence of the night...

The night was peaceful. However, Mengdie couldn’t fall asleep, her gaze fixed on the moon outside the window for a long time. Her mind was entangled with too many questions, preventing her from sleeping.
"I never expected this world to have three moons."
Yes, three moons. Three pale white moons hung in the sky, their soft glow seeping through the window, illuminating a corner of the small room where Mengdie lay.
Mengdie stared at the three moonbeams, lost in thought. She began to reminisce about her past life, her travels around the world, how she defeated one strong opponent after another through rigorous training, and how she participated in the Heavenly Martial Arts Tournament, only to die of a heart attack later. However, what she missed the most were her days living in the secluded temple as a child.
Ah, power... power. Now she truly had “no worries”.
Mengdie laughed mockingly at herself, turned away from the moonlight, and played with her excessively long hair while contemplating her lost strength.
But why did she suddenly lose all her strength? If it was due to entering this body, it would be understandable, but why did it happen midway? Why was that?
Wait, let me think carefully. From the moment I fell into the women's bath to the fight with those guys with black snakes tattooed on their arms, was there any abnormal situation?
After posing this question to herself, Mengdie couldn’t help but laugh. Was there any abnormal situation? Was there anything "normal" in the entire process?
I held back when beating up that pervert BL in the men's bath. If I had used up my strength, then the subsequent chaotic situations couldn’t be explained. So, there shouldn’t be an issue there. Surely it wasn't because I saw that guy's little JJ, or he saw this body's nudity, that I lost my strength? That would be too "chaste".
What about later? Later, I wreaked havoc in the town, almost hitting everything in sight. At that time, I must have been extremely angry, probably more than ever in my last life... Uh, it couldn't be that I was so angry that I lost control of my strength and it dissipated, could it?
And then... then I encountered those two jerks. After that, I lost control of my strength... Cough, where did it go wrong? There’s no clue at all.
Mengdie felt a headache coming on from thinking too hard, so she sat up and got off the table. She quietly opened the door and bathed in the moonlight, gently moving to the well at the doorway, drawing a bucket of water. The water reflected the face of an incredibly beautiful girl, but her expression was only one of frustration and helplessness.
"Really, this long hair is such a nuisance. I'll find a rubber band to tie it up tomorrow."
Mengdie grabbed her hair, shifting it to one shoulder. She then scooped a spoonful of water from the bucket, drinking it slowly while admiring the three bright moons in the sky.
