In case I really get lost...
He Tiantian shook her head, unwilling to succumb to conspiracy theories, but she knew she still needed to maintain a basic level of caution and vigilance.
"Huh? Return to reality?" Student Xiao D responded as slow as ever.
He Tiantian was used to it and couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on her little idiot.
Seeing He Tiantian’s silence but her determined expression, Student Xiao D didn’t delay any further and hurriedly said, "Okay, back to reality!"
However, before leaving the library space, He Tiantian still casually pulled up her personal panel—
Dian Niang Coin: 10,000, already exchanged for one Primary Treasure Box
Cheat: Huang Rong’s Cooking Skills
Ma Jiu’s Gambling Skill
Junior Master Uncle’s Unlimited Decision
In addition to these data displayed on the personal panel, He Tiantian had learned other skills in the novel world.
1. Foreign Language (fluent in English and French, proficient in German and Spanish)
2. Archery (Competition Recurve Bow, lethal Traditional Bow)
Indeed, He Tiantian had learned the Guiyuan Temple’s extraordinary secret technique, the Guiyuan Technique, alongside He Qingfeng, which was also the core magic of the entire Guiyuan Temple’s legacy.
In the novel world, He Tiantian and He Qingfeng were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. They could learn but could not integrate and understand thoroughly, and certainly could not use the Guiyuan Technique to intake energy and become true cultivators.
But He Tiantian had learned the entire technique and practised it persistently for decades.
She believed there would eventually be space for her to utilize this technique.
And once such an opportunity arose, the power of the Guiyuan Technique would surely not be inferior to the Junior Master Uncle’s Wuji Technique.
The Guiyuan Technique was more a mental method, a cultivation of the Tao Heart.
It was not in conflict with the Junior Master Uncle’s Wuji Technique.
He Tiantian even thought about whether she could combine these two techniques to create a new, even more impressive technique.
Hmm, should it be the Guiyuan Wuji Skill or the Wuji Guiyuan Technique?
He Tiantian pondered silently but didn’t forget to remind Xiao D, "All right, let’s return to reality now!"
Xiao D responded cutely, and then the space before He Tiantian twisted, and her Divine Soul was stripped away.
He Tiantian opened her eyes again and found herself lying in her dormitory bed.
She pulled up all the privacy curtains that she had bought online, which formed a small, enclosed space around her bed.
Looking at the familiar yet foreign curtains, she felt as if everything was a lifetime away.
In fact, she had indeed stayed for four lives in the novel world.
He Tiantian continued to lie on her back, staring blankly at the curtain patterns above her head. After a while, she finally sorted out the philosophical conundrum of "who am I, where am I, and what am I doing."
She was still a high school sophomore in a small county town, whose biological parents were unwilling to keep her.
Her foster mother and aunt had abandoned her in pursuit of their own happiness.
She received money from her parents and aunt and moved into the dormitory at County First Middle School.
The National Day holiday had just ended, and by using the Foreign Language skills she had learned in the novel world to do interpretation work, she had successfully earned hundreds of thousands.
He Tiantian had temporarily achieved financial independence and didn’t need to worry about her livelihood for the time being.
At school, the bullies that used to torment her had been given a taste of their medicine.
And in the dorm and class, the once-estranged and isolated He Tiantian was slowly making friends.
Her life was now on the right track, and without doing any tasks, He Tiantian could fully enjoy the wonderful high school life.
After organizing her thoughts and slowly shifting her memory back to reality, He Tiantian let out a long breath.
She was back; she was none other than He Tiantian herself, not some writer.
Nor was she forced by the system to play the villain, the top-grade character; she could write her own life according to her wishes.
He Tiantian clenched her fists tightly, relishing the feeling of controlling her own fate.
"Hisss!" But soon, He Tiantian discovered that her body was somewhat sore, as if she had slept too long, stiff and uncomfortable from head to toe.
"That’s normal, Tiantian. When you enter the library space, the flow of time in reality stops, but your Divine Soul has left your body!"
"It’s been four Small Worlds, three to four hundred years. Your Divine Soul has returned to your body; of course, there will be some discomfort!"
Xiao D quickly explained.
Saying this, it seemed to remember something and spoke admiringly, "Tiantian, did you anticipate this situation, which is why you insisted on returning to reality?"
