Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 116 The Invisible Ring
Su Yang was sorting through the information he had, while Die'er teased him from the side, "Oh, you're so pedantic. You've been studying with a pretentious old gentleman for a while, but you haven't learned much of the scholar's temperament. Instead, you've picked up the air of a pedantic scholar."
Upon hearing this, Jiuli remained calm and composed, responding with a smile, "What you say is true, sister. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to meet Mr. Gu, how would I have known that I was actually Wuxia Yuhua?"
Die'er clearly didn't understand what Jiu Li was saying. She rubbed her chin blankly. She wanted to ask what "Flawless Jade Flower" was, but then she thought that it would be too embarrassing if she asked. So she continued to mock, "You were just saying that if you couldn't break Mr. Gu's seal, you would never see the light of day again. Now you're showing respect?"
“Yes, if the seal couldn’t be broken, who knows how long I would have to wait in endless lives to meet a wise master. Fortunately, heaven has taken pity on me and allowed me to find a new master so quickly.” After saying that, Jiuli turned her head and looked at Su Yang expectantly, asking with a smile in her eyes, “May I ask your honorable name, sir?”
"Uh, oh, just call me Su Yang." Su Yang had just sorted out the logic of these things, and when he heard Jiu Li's question, he answered without thinking.
"Su Yang." Jiu Li rolled his eyes and said, "The Yang spirit shines brightly, and all things revive. It's truly a grand name. Mr. Su, shall I now answer your questions?"
Jiuli seemed quite intelligent, immediately seeing through Su Yang's confusion about her origins, and took the initiative to speak: "I was born in a grove of osmanthus trees in the mountains, born from the fragrance of osmanthus. Unlike other X-level bracelets, my lifespan is infinite. The bracelet was named by its first owner, called the Invisible Ring. Unfortunately, the first owner passed away early, and I was called back to my birthplace. Until Mr. Gu traveled here, we had a pleasant conversation, and he recognized me as his new owner. When Mr. Gu saw that I could take shape, he named me, removing the 'fragrance' from 'Jiuli Xiang' (Nine Mile Fragrance) and naming me Jiuli."
"Mr. Gu was a literary giant, proficient in poetry and prose. Therefore, he also taught me a lot about osmanthus and poems. Later, he told me that he was a time traveler. At that time, his time was running out. In order to prevent me from being called back to my birthplace after his death, he promised me that my next master would be no less than him. I agreed after much consideration. He then set a seal for me. In fact, that seal was the first trial. The two lines of poetry that I asked Mr. Su about earlier were the second trial. Now that the trial is over, you and I are naturally of one mind and rely on each other."
"So that's where your name comes from, but I have a question," Su Yang said.
"But it doesn't matter."
"The X-level bracelet can change its style on its own, just like Butterfly, which turned from a bracelet into a ring. Can you do that too?"
“Of course, Mr. Su, what kind of person do you hope I will become?” Jiuli said with a smile.
"Hmm... Although it's fine as it is now, and no one can see it, I still feel a strange sensation on my wrist, and the elemental fluctuations are too strong. I'm worried that if others discover it, it will cause unnecessary trouble."
“That’s easy.” Jiuli pointed a finger at Su Yang’s wrist, and the transparent bracelet that had been slightly unusual disappeared instantly.
"That's amazing!" Su Yang exclaimed in surprise, "What did the bracelet turn into?"
"Sir, you may smell yourself first." Jiuli smiled, covering his face.
Upon hearing this, Su Yang raised his arm and smelled it, discovering a faint fragrance of osmanthus. "I've placed the bracelet over you, sir, so it's invisible, but this osmanthus scent will stay with you," Jiuli explained after Su Yang smelled it.
"That's good too. You can't smell it unless you sniff it closely, and others won't easily notice it either." Su Yang was quite satisfied.
At this moment, Die'er walked up to Su Yang, poked him hard, and said in the same tone as Jiu Li, "Mr. Su, what's wrong with you today? Why aren't you socially anxious?"
After Die'er's reminder, Su Yang immediately realized what had happened, and his face flushed. He had been too focused on solving Gu Wushuang's riddle or on Gu Wushuang's reward, so much so that he hadn't noticed that Jiu Li was now a stranger to him. Now that he realized it, he didn't know how to talk to Jiu Li.
Jiuli pulled Die'er into his arms, pinched her cheek, and said, "Why be naughty, little sister? We'll be family from now on." He then looked at Su Yang and said, "Mr. Su, we have a long time to get to know each other. We can take it slow until you're familiar with me." He then smiled gently.
Su Yang felt a sense of warmth and comfort. This feeling was so similar to that of an ancient empress, a figure of regal authority. He stammered, "Uh, okay, then... then take your time."
Lin Anlan had watched and listened to everything from beginning to end, and knew it was time for her to step in, otherwise the situation would definitely become awkward again. So she stepped forward, took Jiuli's hand, and said, "Uh, I'll call you Jiuli then. Shall I show you around our house? Su Yang built it himself."
"Really? Then we must take a good look around! Butterfly Sister, why don't you show me around too?"
"I won't..." Before Die'er could finish her refusal, Lin Anlan interrupted her: "Die'er has just replenished her elemental power, and she must have a lot to say to Su Yang. I'll take you." With that, she pulled Jiuli away without further ado, leaving Die'er and Su Yang in the study.
Seeing the two of them leave, Die'er breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Su Yang, she no longer had the resentment she had shown before. Instead, she calmly said, "Although Jiuli is an X-level Qi element bracelet nurtured by the fragrance of osmanthus, it was an extremely violent Qi in the hands of its first owner. It was not like it is now. I remember when it recognized Gu Wushuang as its owner, Gu Wushuang had just entered middle age. It should have been nearly thirty years since then. It seems that he really spent thirty years changing Jiuli."
After a pause, Die'er continued, "Unlike other elements, the Qi element, strictly speaking, has a higher spatial influence than other elements. This world doesn't have a high level of understanding of space, so the Qi element is mostly perceived as wind. If you can combine it with your world's spatial knowledge, the power of the Qi element might be stronger than our other elements. Currently, Jiuli's personality is very beneficial to your survival. Congratulations, Su Yang."
Having spent a lot of time with Die'er, Su Yang could sense that she was speaking from the heart, so he said, "I understand. I also hope that you can get along peacefully. Isn't it better to be harmonious?"
"Who wants to get along with her peacefully? I'd love to laugh at her every day." Die'er seemed to have returned to her previous state. After saying that, she stormed out of the study, leaving Su Yang standing there dumbfounded.
"Space? If they can truly be combined, wouldn't that mean we can traverse space? Or even teleport?"
