I can rewind time to prevent death

Chapter 348: Chapter 286: Ineffable Treasure (4000 words)_2

The journey was quite long, and it took about ten minutes before someone took the order. After a phone call, the two decided to meet outside the hotel in half an hour.

No sooner had they hung up than Zhang Xiaomo called.

When Yan Junze answered, he heard her ask, “How are things over there? Did you find anything when sealing off Yan Long’s lair?”

“It’s a long story; I can’t explain it over the phone. I’ll tell you when I get back,” Yan Junze said with a smirk, “By the way, could you get me some identification information?”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Xiaomo didn’t understand at first.

“Here’s someone who has no identity information at the security bureau. I want to register a legal identity for her. Can you do that?” Yan Junze explained again.

Zhang Xiaomo said, “It’s not that it’s impossible. We have a close cooperative relationship with the security bureau, but it depends on the situation.”

“It’s a long story; let’s wait until I get back to talk about it,” Yan Junze nodded.

“You little rascal, always waiting until you get back to talk about what you’re doing out there,” Zhang Xiaomo sighed, and then asked, “Are you coming back today?”

“Are you missing me?” Yan Junze asked with a mischievous smile, on purpose.

“The… The… The signal… Why has it suddenly gotten so bad,” Zhang Xiaomo stuttered all of a sudden, “We’ll talk when you get back.”

Yan Junze laughed heartily.

Sounds of busyness quickly came from the other end of the phone; Yan Junze knew Zhang Xiaomo must be cursing him right now.

After hanging up, Yan Junze noticed Xiang Er had been watching him, with the same kind of look he usually gave Crawler Monsters.

Yan Junze waved his hand: “That’s your future sister-in-law, so it’s understandable if I act a little out of the ordinary.”

Regardless of whether his logic made sense or not, Xiang Er just nodded without saying anything.

While waiting for the car to arrive, Yan Junze let Xiang Er walk a few steps in front of him, instructing her on how to make her movements less stiff during actions to avoid giving the impression of a corpse moving.

People in this world are now very sensitive and might associate any abnormal behavior with strangeness. It’s important not to stand out in a crowd.

Moreover, it was even more important to teach Xiang Er never to show herself in front of unfamiliar exorcists.

After a short while, the Shunfeng Pāpā ride-hailing car arrived, and the two gathered their things and got in, both sitting in the back seats.

Yan Junze clearly noticed that after Xiang Er got into the car, the ride-hailing driver stole a few more glances at her through the rearview mirror.

That was normal; Xiang Er already had a high rate of people turning heads to look at her on the street.

Because he had sprayed her with the newly bought perfume, the car was filled with a faint scent. Only Yan Junze, who was sitting closer to Xiang Er, could catch the faint hint of medicinal smell from her.

Shortly after the car started, Xiang Er quietly asked Yan Junze, “Do people keep staring at those who are beautiful in appearance as well?”

She knew that an ugly appearance not only drew attention but also could cause horror and make people turn and flee. But now, the table had turned; being beautiful to a certain extent also resulted in people watching intently.

Yan Junze replied, “Beauty can make people feel comfortable, so everyone likes to admire beauty. Whether they are men or women, the mindset of admiring beauty differs, but envy is inevitable. It’s not only about letting people know that you look beautiful, but it’s also important for them to feel that your spirit is just as beautiful.”

Xiang Er nodded thoughtfully, looking at the scenery flashing by outside the window, and fell silent.

The two spoke very little during the trip.

After five hours on the highway, they entered the territory of Tianmeng District and spent another half-hour to reach Peak City.

After getting off the bus, Yan Junze called another rideshare, and by evening they arrived at a small city called Zhen County. They found a hotel to rest for the night and continued their journey the next day.

Because Xiang Er didn’t have any identification, it was inconvenient. It took them two days, and it was only by noon the next day that they arrived at Tianmeng District.

Yan Junze had never been on a vehicle for so long. His butt was sore from sitting and he felt more tired than if he had walked.

Finding it inconvenient to bring Xiang Er into school, he found a rental room just outside it.

There were plenty of rental rooms outside the school, and they were cheap. Apart from buying an extra bed quilt, everything else was ready. Most importantly, Xiang Er didn’t have to cook for her meals.@@novelbin@@

Even the purchased bedding was just for show.

The rented room was slightly secluded, located on the second floor of an old building, right in the corner. This was Yan Junze’s deliberate choice, to stay as far from the crowds as possible and to avoid attracting attention.

But with Xiang Er’s current appearance, it was difficult not to draw attention. On second thought, this also provided her with a good opportunity to get to know and train herself.

After settling Xiang Er in, Yan Junze went down to the telecom shop to buy her a cheap mobile phone and a SIM card. When he returned, he gave her the phone and told her he would be studying at the nearby school and would come to see her every day.

When he wasn’t visiting her, he hoped she’d occasionally go out for a walk and try not to interact too much with others.

In fact, Xiang Er could leave her body in the room at any time and become the Ugly Girl Strange Creature, and she could visit Yan Junze whenever she wanted.

However, Yan Junze did this so she could use this opportunity to reconnect with a life she had never imagined before and rediscover the beauty of this world.

That evening, Yan Junze left Xiang Er and returned to his university dormitory.

The head of the security team, Wang Tao, came over to see him right away. After expressing his gratitude, he told Yan Junze that the local products from Wang Family Bay had been mailed over and some snacks were placed in the security office.

Yan Junze had his roommates move everything to their dorm to distribute. The chubby He Bishou was especially pleased, gorging himself and even burping in his sleep that night.

For those products that needed to be prepared as food, Yan Junze asked Wang Tao to send them to his home in Shuntian City and called his mother to ask her to receive them.

Finally, everything was taken care of.

Moreover, Yan Junze had found an excellent teacher for Xiang Er’s growth and education, this teacher being his own roommate Huahua.

The second day of classes, after explaining the situation to Huahua, the kind-hearted Huahua readily agreed.

Of course, Yan Junze told him that Xiang Er was his sister from the countryside, who had no experience in the ways of the world and was currently preparing to come work in the city, but she hadn’t yet found a place to go.

After class, Huahua followed Yan Junze to Xiang Er’s rental house and was then shocked. After talking to Xiang Er, he came out and shared three opinions with Yan Junze.

The first was that Xiang Er didn’t seem like Yan Junze’s sister; she was almost half a head taller than Yan Junze. This was easy for Yan Junze to explain; he said she was his cousin and had always been physically robust since childhood.

The second was that Xiang Er was indeed innocent like a blank page, sometimes a bit stubborn. Huahua felt the pressure, but he believed he could take good care of Xiang Er. It was a motivation, especially since Xiang Er’s appearance made her very approachable.

The third point, which amazed Huahua the most, was that Xiang Er was incredibly beautiful, with a perfect figure and facial features. If it weren’t for Huahua’s own peculiarities, he probably would have been smitten by now.

Yan Junze had anticipated this as well, and if he hadn’t known about Huahua’s peculiarities and that he was enthusiastic, he wouldn’t have dared to bring him to teach Xiang Er.

In the end, Huahua said, “Junze, I can honestly tell you, compared to just looks, none of the girls at Tianmeng Science University’s sororities can match up to your cousin.”

He added one more thing, “It might not be safe for her to live alone outside. You better keep an extra watchful eye.”

Yan Junze smiled slightly, thinking to himself that those who might have designs on Xiang Er were the ones who would probably be in danger. Whether they got scared witless or beaten black and blue, he had already warned Xiang Er.

She must show restraint and not do anything too overt or eye-catching.
