Chapter 282: Why wear clothes one size bigger?_2
And the person who had brought her pressure was now laughing loudly, “Sorry, that was my mistake,” making Miss Hewinia feel somewhat bewildered.
“Of course, I still have to say what needs to be said,” Bai Wei spoke, “If you want to play the Seven Notes·Divine Song, then we can cooperate. Don’t be fooled by the fact that I only have three Corpse Blocks left. My power is well-reviewed by anyone who uses it… at least there are no bad reviews.”
Miss Hewinia instinctively wanted to refuse, but Bai Wei spoke first again.
“If you’re unwilling, then pretend I never said anything. As you can see, I’m not in a great state right now, so I’ll just borrow your body to nourish my soul. In return, you can use my body.”
“Use your body?”
“Yes, my fingers, my eyes, my tongue,” Bai Wei lazily said, “Whatever you want to do with them, it’s fine. This is my compensation for borrowing your body… How about it?”
Miss Hewinia’s brows were now deeply furrowed as she looked at Bai Wei again, “What use do I have for your Corpse Blocks?”
“Ah, I really wish everyone in the world thought like you, so that no one would try to snatch my Corpse Blocks,” Bai Wei said with a laugh, “If you wish, you could try touching that note behind you with this finger of mine.”
“… What are you trying to do?”
“Just a preemptive compensation,” Bai Wei said, “Although the score is golden, the real Miss Hewinia possesses golden notes as well, so you haven’t fully absorbed it yet. Which makes you look like you haven’t completely illuminated the note. In Holy Sound, everyone’s note will be fully ignited at the moment they reach adulthood, and Miss Hewinia… by all accounts should already be an adult. This means, there are quite a few people watching you by now, if you continue to drag this out…”
Miss Hewinia once again fell into Silence.
That feeling again.
Everything was seen through, all disguises were failing.
Indeed, because the note was seized by force, she had not fully absorbed it until now.
Many people were already keeping an eye on her. Even if her mentor always comforted her not to worry, that golden notes tend to ripen late compared to the other notes, but if she continued to procrastinate…
Miss Hewinia slowly closed her eyes.
But she had made up her mind and reached behind her back, her middle finger touching the golden note that had refused to be tamed over the past year.
And then, a “ding” sound echoed.
A wave of golden sound, with Miss Hewinia at its center, spread outwards in all directions.
…
The students in the first-floor lobby all looked up, their faces Surprised as they gazed at the ceiling.
Because they had all heard that pure sound, free from any impurities.
They saw the ripples of golden light spreading throughout the entire academy.
“Miss Hewinia… succeeded.”
…
Miss Hewinia opened her eyes.
She saw her reflection in the mirror, and although she was trying hard to maintain her calm, she could not conceal the surprise in her pupils.
Just like that, it succeeded?
The note that she had not digested for a year was lightly touched by this finger and then it was completed?
After a moment of hesitation, Miss Hewinia still turned around to reveal her back to the mirror.
As expected, the note on her back that used to flicker unstably was now emitting a quiet, peaceful glow. The score that used to bind it was nowhere to be seen, not because it had disappeared, but because it had hidden itself away, waiting for the next note that needed to be devoured to reappear.
This meant that her note had completely stabilized, and was truly “ignited.”
And for the time being, she didn’t have to worry about people seeing the fine lines on her back and discovering her identity.
Miss Hewinia should have been greatly relieved, but thinking that it was that foreign finger that brought this change, she couldn’t ease her mind.
Thus, when she looked again at the middle finger, her eyes were filled with complexity.
“Alright, this is the advance payment for compensation,” Bai Wei said with a smile, “How about it, now do you believe in my abilities?”
Miss Hewinia did not respond, only asking, “So what do you want?”
“I told you just now, didn’t I? I just need to borrow your body for a rest.”
“You’re already in my body.”
“Yes, so you’re already paying the compensation, there’s no need for any extra, rest assured, fairness is what I value the most,” Bai Wei’s voice lightened bit by bit, his upright middle finger also quickly went limp, “I should go to rest too, good night, Miss Hewinia.”
With that, Bai Wei’s voice disappeared from Miss Hewinia’s mind.
But before completely vanishing, Miss Hewinia still heard a distant whisper— “If you want more power, come find me again.”
Then, Miss Hewinia felt that unmanageable middle finger once again come under her control; she could freely bend or straighten it at will.
As if the soul that had just taken refuge in this finger had gone into the deep sleep that he had mentioned.
She gently massaged the middle finger, murmuring unconsciously.
“Visas…”
Half an hour later, Miss Hewinia fell asleep, her mind filled with numerous tangled thoughts.
The left hand placed beside her cheek, with its middle finger slowly turned to the side, as if Gazing at her.
Bai Wei had not gone to sleep.
A month ago, in order to ensure Gerard’s last bit of soul was sent into the Order Sword, Bai Wei had still paid a considerable price.
What do you think?
