Chapter 40: Qu Tang’s Spiritual Entity
Qu Tang didn’t correct Le Zhi and Le Li; they could call her whatever they liked. If she were to be strict, they should call her “Auntie.”
Perhaps sensing her fatigue, Le Zhi and Le Li quieted down after getting into the car, mentioning it would take one or two hours to reach their destination and that she could sleep if she was tired.
Indeed exhausted, Qu Tang thanked them, closed her eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
Le Zhi and Le Li occupied the driver’s and passenger’s seats respectively. Once the steady breathing from the back seat indicated Qu Tang was asleep, two identical white lion cats appeared simultaneously on the back of the front seats.
Their intentions were clear; Le Zhi and Le Li exchanged a look, their cheeks slightly flushed.
Both lion cats were pure white, distinguished only by their eye colors, just like their owners.
They leaped gracefully from the seat backs to the back, one curling up beside Qu Tang, touching her thigh, the other at her feet, resting against her calf, then gently covering her feet with their fluffy tails.
“Mew~ purr purr… purr purr…”
The cats let out quiet meows and comforting purrs.
Qu Tang was oblivious to this, as she was trapped in a dream.
In her dream, there was an endless expanse of blue. At first, Qu Tang felt the air was heavy and hard to breathe, but after a moment, she realized she was underwater, specifically beneath the sea surface. What’s more bizarre, she could breathe underwater and move freely like a ghost at will.
However, whether she moved forward, backward, upward, or downward, she couldn’t escape.
Knowing it was a dream, she wasn’t afraid; even if she couldn’t wake up, the twins would wake her when they reached their destination.
She drifted aimlessly in the water. After some unknown time, something grabbed her ankle, pulling her down with an irresistible force.
The speed was fast, but thankfully, in the dream, she didn’t feel the water pressure. After about a few minutes, the speed decreased, and Qu Tang wanted to see what was holding her. As she bent down, what she saw made her freeze.
She was used to the endless deep blue, but now, beneath her, among the blue, lay a massive dark shadow.
She couldn’t gauge its size; just what she could see was as large as a football field, and she was certain she was only seeing a part of it.
It shouldn’t be a living thing, right?
As if in response to her thought, the shadow suddenly moved.
It rose, with an overwhelming presence.
The blue was quickly covered by the shadow, and Qu Tang felt as if she had fallen from the depths of the sea into an endless, dark void. Before this shadow, she was smaller than a speck of dust.
Qu Tang… at this moment, developed a phobia of giant things.
But what terrified her even more was what happened next. The darkness suddenly lit up with lights, red lights, countless and uncountable, all lighting up at once, filling the entire space.
Qu Tang instantly developed trypophobia.
Wait, these weren’t lights; they were eyes, all identical, round, with black pupils and red irises, no whites.
They were all looking at her.
Help!
Her fear peaked at this moment, and the shadow seemed to sense her emotions immediately. All the eyes closed at once, sinking down out of sight.
Qu Tang hadn’t processed it when she suddenly woke from the dream.
She was somewhat disoriented, feeling more like she had been kicked out by the shadow than just waking up.
Suddenly, Qu Tang had an epiphany.
That… shadow seemed to be her… spiritual entity.
Qu Tang got a headache, not physical but psychological.
When she saw Shen Qi’s spiritual entity was a mutation, she had been mentally prepared, but she never imagined her own would be such a huge mutation.
Thinking about how her spiritual entity closed its eyes with a look of grievance and resentment, her headache worsened.
It was a look of blame and hurt.
At this moment, Qu Tang felt like a heartbreaker who had abandoned her family.
“Did little sister have a nightmare?” Le Zhi and Le Li both turned to look at her.
“No.” Qu Tang shook her head; she was too embarrassed to admit she was scared by her own spiritual entity. She changed the subject, “Are we almost there?”
The sky had brightened, and looking out the window, Qu Tang saw a three-story standalone house at the end of the road, like a pre-apocalypse custom-built villa.
“Yeah, that’s it ahead.” Le Zhi’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “I’m really curious how the boss will react when he sees you.”
Le Li: “+1.”
