Two Souls In The New World

Shen Tianyun finished his morning routine and prepared to go to school. Yesterday, he came back with only general information. The Black Dragon gang used to be a small local gang before, and 4 years ago, this gang started to rise rapidly. They had overtaken several local businesses within a year's time and successfully suppressed every other gang in Pearl City. It was no coincidence because Zhou family had come to Pearl City around 4 years ago as well, and it's not hard to guess that the rise of the Black Dragon gang was related to the Zhou family.

From what Shen Tianyun understand, Zhou family was once a mid-tier family in Beijing before relocated to this Pearl City. They had offended some powerful family in Beijing and got chased out of the circles. Zhou family had come here with a purpose to be the number one family in this city. They fought with Cai family in these past few years but they have the advantage of the Black Dragon gang which they could do all sorts of shady business. Cai family suffered a loss many times from Zhou family and Black Dragon gang and has a hard time fighting back.

Although Shen Tianyun understood the general situation of the Black Dragon gang, he still couldn't find a way to deal with them yet. The only way he could figure out right now is to increase his cultivation to create more opportunities in finding their secret pieces of information. That's why today he has added more exercises and started practicing a movement technique that Grandma Su had taught him. This movement technique called 'Mirage shadow', from Grandma Su explanation, this technique could create an illusion as if it was after image to fool the opponents. Shen Tianyun was so eager to learn this, he thought about those movement techniques from Xianxia novels that he read before. He never thought that there would be a real technique that could create an after image just like in novels.

Looking at his status, he was very dissatisfied with his slow progress. He hesitating whether he should draw more lottery or not, his Fame Points already reached 20,000 marks despite spent 5,000 in yesterday he still has plenty of it. Thinking about his bad luck, he shook his head and hold himself back from drawing the lottery. He needs to talk with Goddess Xi Yao again and try to coax her before drawing further. His gaze stopped at the Shop function. He recalled that the system once told him about this function will be available when his status has reached a certain point. Shen Tianyun really didn't how much he need to unlock this function.

"System, how can I unlock this Shop function?" He asked.

『 The host needs to collect 200,000 Fame Points and reach at least rank C in both Constitution and Reflexes attributes. 』 A long lost system voice replied to him in his mind.

Shen Tianyun nodded his head and calmly thinking the fastest way to gain more Fame Points and increasing his attributes. He estimated that his performance in the competition should bring him more than 100,000 Fame Points after the media has published his interviews and there should be someone recorded his performance on that day. He admitted his mistakes that he forgot to tell Liu Feiyan to record his performance beforehand so he could use this to create a viral on the internet later. Right now he could only rely on the media.

...

Since the relationship between Shen Tianyun and Liu Feiyan has changed, they are now lovers. Liu Feiyan is fond of him more than before, she even started to do exercise with him in the morning just to stay close to him. Shen Tianyun would occasionally hug her or kissing her whenever he has a chance. Fang Yulan would peek at them times to times, she was very happy for her daughter.

Arrived at the school, Liu Feiyan was reluctantly leaving Shen Tianyun and heading towards her classroom. She didn't forget to peck on his cheek before jogging off. Shen Tianyun smiled happily, he was new to this feeling and begins to understand how it feels when people were in a serious relationship.

"Morning, Xueyue." Upon reaching his seat, he saw Lin Xueyue already sitting on her seat. He immediately greets her.

Lin Xueyue turned to look at him, her eyes flickered slightly, "Morning." Her voice is still cold as usual.

"Why I didn't see you at the competition?" He casually asked, even though he knows what happened on that day, he still asked her anyway.

Lin Xueyue smiled faintly, "I was watching you and left afterward. My mother didn't feel really well so we have to go back early. Congratulation on getting the first place." She replied, there was a hint of excitement in her voice but Shen Tianyun failed to notice it.

He smiled, "Thank you, it was you who give me an opportunity to do so." Lin Xueyue shook her head indicated that it wasn't a big deal.

『 A Maiden Quest has been created. 』 Suddenly, the system voice rang in his mind. He was surprised because he never sees any quest since the last time.

『 Maiden Quest : The host needs to help Lin Xueyue awake her other half soul to regains the memory of Dongfang Xueyue within 2 days.

Rewards : Constitution + 10, 1 random rank S Pill.

Penalty : Constitution - 50, Lin Xueyue's impression - 50.

Times remaining : 1 Day 23 Hours 59 Minutes. 』

Shen Tianyun was shocked when he heard all of this, his brain begins to work intensively. The penalty is too scary, not only he has to lose massive constitution attributes, and he also loses Lin Xueyue's impression points. It's mean that their relationship will go back to the day before Shen Tianyun comes to this world. Perhaps, the system has detected something on Lin Xueyue. Her soul probably already at the final stage of the fusion process, and there should be something that has stopped the process from completing. This is his speculation.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression changed dramatically, Lin Xueyue asked concernedly.

Shen Tianyun calm himself down, saying, "Do you still dreaming about Dongfang Xueyue?"

There is a subtle change in her eyes, she calmly replies, "Yes, I still dreaming every day. What is it?" Shen Tianyun thinking for a bit and decided to tell her about his transmigrated experienced. Calculating carefully, it was no harm to telling her since he already confirmed that she is the other half of Dongfang Xueyue. It would make things easier on the recent drama between her father and all the people that related to his father.

"Hm! I have something to tell you, it's related to your dream. How about this lunch break?" He asked. Lin Xueyue perking her eyebrows up, she didn't know what Shen Tianyun going to say but she still nodded in acknowledgment. The class started afterward. Shen Tianyun didn't pay attention to the class, he reorganizing his thought preparing to tell her about his situation in every detail possible.

...

After finishing their lunch, Shen Tianyun and Lin Xueyue heading towards the fire exit. It was a quiet place and there are no people around here.

Shen Tianyun checking around for a bit, he makes sure that no one is around here. Looking at Lin Xueyue's impatient expression, he opened his mouth, "Do you believe me if I say that everything that happened in your dream is real?"

He calmly observing her expression, Lin Xueyue nodded her head but didn't say anything. He continues, "I will tell you the truth. Actually, The Shen Tianyun in your dream is me. I died in that world and transmigrated into this body of this world."

Lin Xueyue has a stunned expression on her face, she opened her mouth try to say something but closed it in the end without saying anything. Shen Tianyun staring into her watery eyes, "The Dongfang Xueyue in your dream is the other half of you. Right now your soul still in the fusing process, that's why you keep dreaming about your other half." Shen Tianyun went straight into the points, he believed that with her intelligence it was no need to use so many words.

Lin Xueyue still kept silent, Shen Tianyun gazing into the distance in reminiscence, "It was the night on 25 August 2005. That day is the first day we met. You were very drunk and lay on the beach. Hah…seriously, how could you let yourself became drunk like that if I wasn't happened to be there, who knows what will happen to you." He turned his head to look at her and said in a scolding tone.

"I remembered that at that time, I thought that you are some random crazy woman and I didn't want to bother you until I saw your face. My sister, Xiaohong once showed your picture to me because you went to the orphanage several times, and she tried to matchmaking you and me. So I carried you up to my room without any ill intention, but who would think that after you wake up, you immediately throwing tantrums at me and didn't even let me explain anything. You accused me of committing a crime and you even go further calling your uncle to put me into jail. If I was just someone who didn't have any background, perhaps I would rotten in the jail already." Shen Tianyun chuckling while he said all of this. This is the most precious memory between him and Dongfang Xueyue. They would occasionally talk about this incident in joking way later.

Lin Xueyue who listening silently for a long time has a faint blush on her face, she didn't know why she felt very embarrassed when listened to him talking about this incident.

Shen Tianyun continuing, "Later, after we cleared our misunderstanding, you invited me to a meal for apologies on this incident. At that time, I don't have any good impression on you at all, so of course, I rejected you harshly. And I thought that with your famous super ice-cold personality, you probably won't bother with me anymore. It was surprised me greatly when you keep pestering me after that. ....Who knows, maybe you feel guilty about what you did to me and that's why you keep doing that. Until one day you were very angry at me, you drove your car intentionally bumping into my car just to have a chance to talk with me. Hahaha, you crazy woman! That day I personally experienced your ruthlessness for the first time so I didn't dare to reject your invitation anymore." Shen Tianyun shook his head helplessly, however, he was very happy about this incident because it makes them get to know each other afterward.

Lin Xueyue looked at him with sparkling eyes, she seems to immersed in the story. Shen Tianyun continuing, "After that, we both thought that our life may not intersect again. However, fate is truly amazing, that day I suddenly want to eat onion soup and there is nothing left in my fridge. I try to call my secretary but she went to meet her parents so, I have to go out and buy it for myself... Come to think of it, it was really funny, I went to the supermarket, and you, the high and mighty Dongfang Xueyue who never buy anything by herself suddenly appeared at that supermarket. We looking at each other with disbelief written all over on our faces. What surprised me even more is that you also want to eat onion soup. What a coincidence, right?"

"I don't know what happened to my head at that time, I invited you to my place and you didn't reject me. We making a large pot of onion soup and had a happy time together. We met again countless times after that and I began to have a feeling towards you…..It was my fault, I was too dense and thought that I don't deserve you. When I know that you started to have some feeling towards me, I was the one who distances myself from you. It was my stupidity. I had disappointed you for 10 years…..I don't know why it was as if something in my mind keeps telling me that I don't deserve to have you until I found out my disease. The story after that, I think you already know." Shen Tianyun sighed regretfully, he understood something when he transmigrated into this world. He has some sort of feeling that it has something to do with Goddess Xi Yao, she definitely did something on him in his previous life but it was still a fog of mystery that he can't see through.

He looked into Lin Xueyue's eyes, and said softly, "Xueyue, I love you. I want to say these words to you countless times in the past but I didn't dare to. Heaven gives me a second chance now, and I don't want to miss it again... Whether you are Lin Xueyue or Dongfang Xueyue, it doesn't matter anymore because I know that you are Xueyue that I love the most." Everything he said may not smoothly or elegantly but it was coming from the bottom of his heart.

Peng!!

A loud noise exploded in Lin Xueyue's mind, her heart and her body shook violently. She breathing faster, and tears started to flow out from her eyes. Every scene, every memory pouring into her mind as if it was the tsunami surging violently try to engulf the land. A short moment later, her body stopped shaking. There is no word coming out from her, she staring at Shen Tianyun's face. Reaching out her arms hooking into his neck. Shen Tianyun suddenly feels a softness on his lips. Came back to his sense he quickly responded to her.

It was as if time has stopped at this moment, they completely forget everything surrounding. Both of them want to imprint this moment deep into their souls. The two souls from another world came across into this new world and finally, they found each other again. They belonged together, and from today onward, they will never separate again forever.
