Chapter 287 - Lives Summary (1/2)

Doctor Lou then let out a long, long sigh, testing Lei Xing's patience before finally beginning.

{...*Okay, I could tell you~... Hmmmm, but you're not allowed to be angry...It's not my fault anyway...technically your fault honestly-...}

Lei Xing frowned in irritation when she heard that last statement.

{...You killing me is now my fault?! ≖_≖)...}

{...*I already said I didn't kill you! ۹( ÒہÓ )۶...I won't talk anymore if you won't listen!...}

{...Fine. Talk ≖_≖)...}

Lei Xing anxiously tapped her foot as she waited for Doctor Lou to gather his words. If this crappy, voice talking in head entity old man actually killed her just to bring her here just because he believed she and the Emperor were a perfect fit, she honestly was not sure how she would come to view the Emperor then.

Regardless of how much she liked the Emperor, she still considered the loss of her old life a great loss.

{...*You're worrying for nothing. I already told you that your former life was an accident and your transmigration was to correct that universal error, the universe righting itself if you will. The whole episode yesterday probably had to do with that too~...Anyway, just consider your first life a bonus level in the saga that is your life~ ( ￣ω￣ )~...}

Lei Xing let out a silent sigh of relief, glad she would not have to worry any awkwardness in her relationship.

{...*Hehehe~ It's good to see you worrying about Xiao Kai like this~ *sniff* You've finally grown a heart~...}

{...Back to the topic please ≖_≖)...}

{...*Hehehe~ Surreee...Hmm, how to explain this? Okay....so you were part of a group of soulful little ones I was put in charge of sending off to live this life...and I being my wonderfully brilliant self was doing a great job of the task but then!.... All of a sudden, you became jumpy for no reason at all - Not my fault!...

...Anyway~ in the process of trying to get your hyper self under control, you ended up in the wrong world, which is your first world...Unfortunately, we, okay, maybe it was just me, who did not realize this error...and by the time I noticed...you were already born there so nothing could be done~ ( ¯▿¯ ')...}

Lei Xing opened her mouth and then closed it, completely confused now.

{...You - I - what now?...}

{...*Well, you were so cute and adorable so killing you was a no-no so I had no choice but to leave you alone for the universe to correct itself...Remember how I told you you were bound to die at that time regardless of the cruise?....It's sad to think about, but you were bound to die at that age, that's the truth...But thanks to your ties with Xiao Kai, on your death, your soul was directly transported here and got a unique second go at life. Yay for you~...}

Lei Xing sat there blinking in confusion, she did not expect this sort of revelation from him. Doctor Lou obliviously continued on to explain.

{...Anyway, in your absence, the body you were supposed to inhabit in this world was soulless - therefore, an empty corpse.... Luckily for you, I found out just in time and arranged a wonderfully adorable substitute to take your place here until your time in your first world elapsed and you found your way back in your intended body~...I even enforced strict rules and took steps to ensure your substitute mimicked your behavior to make things easier for you on your arrival here...aren't I great? (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)...}

{...}

{...*Hellooo? Say something~...A thank you perhaps?... What? Are you feeling it's unfair that you had to do double time in one go? Don't worry, it'll all add up to your karmic tally and you'll get extra perks, later on~ It's a good opportunity for you hehehe~...}

Lei Xing finally took a deep breath and regained her senses.

{...So, so...is this like...reincarnation then?... It's real? And are you like a shinigami or what? You're definitely not human, clearly not O_O)...}

{...*What I am or not is none of your business!... Not even a thank you for all my hard work. Hmph! Ungrateful brat ( ￣^￣ )...}

Lei Xing's mind was too busy processing this news to care about Doctor Lou's pouting words.

{...So me and the Emperor...then -...}

{...*As I've told you, you two share a unique bond....Therefore, even if you ended up leaving the palace at the competition, odds are you would still have ended up falling for your Emperor. It would have simply taken a much longer, confused route to arrive at the same conclusion. I just made your lives easier by skipping ahead~....A thank you would be really nice though ( ￣^￣ )...}

Lei Xing was quiet for a while, this was all very weird.

{...So then what about the dream?...}

{...*What dream?...}

Lei Xing knit her brows.

{...I saw - Well, I think I saw those four things that were in the sky... before in a dream with like two kids....somewhere...I don't know...}

{...*Hmm, well, I don't know about that.....I truly have nothing to do with those four being here or your dreams for that matter. Whatever oddities you and Xiao Kai have experienced together probably has to do with your connection and the aftereffects of your cross-world journey messing things up...I already had to do a lot of damage control here so I wouldn't cause more problems for myself (¬ _¬ )...Well now you know, happy now?...}

Lei Xing bit her inner lip, feeling a bit embarrassed for some reason and at a total loss for words. In the end, all she could muster up was more questions.

{...Then why did you want the ceremony then?...}

{...*Well, as I've told you, I'm a romantic~...and this is MY personal ship of which I dubbed myself the captain. Therefore I naturally wanted to watch it sail into the sunset hehehe~...Nothing wrong with having favorites! ( ￣^￣ )...}

Lei Xing knit her brows, still very confused.

{...So reincarnation, right?... So when I die, when we die we just do it -...}

{...*Oh~ That? That''s just none of your business!... Still no thank you (≖_≖ )...}
