Celia: After Dying in the Apocalypse, I Live Once Again!

Chapter 124: Not All There Just Yet.

I had thought that Guanyu was merely joking about piecing my Soul back together. Unfortunately, as I tried to walk… I learned that her words were serious. I was more unstable than a newborn!…

Prior to this, Guanyu hadn’t a chance or need to mess with Souls, let alone repair one. Thankfully, my memories are all still intact, with there just being minor physical problems. Or maybe I need some rest? Either way, I wasn’t able to fight at max capacity in this condition…

Guanyu: “Once more, I apologize deeply for killing you. It is likely the only mistake I’ve committed in this life…” She expressed with a mournful tone.

Vulely: “Are you mourning me?… I am still alive!” I shot back with an upset tone and expression.

Guanyu: “However, you did die. That grave site went unused in this timeline… but I shall make one for you.” She added with an oddly serious thinking pose.

Vulely: “Eh? Why?…” I replied with spiral eyes.

Guanyu: “I have to pay my respects, of course.” She answered like I was the crazy one.

Vulely: “(- _ -)”

Ah, she’s being serious… again! Is this some kind of Chinese culture thing? I don’t think it is… Perhaps it’s something to do with Cultivation beliefs? Frankly, I am just going to pretend that this didn’t happen; and let the woman do as she pleases with that soon-to-be-made, forever empty grave…

Of course, Celia won’t be hearing about any of this. Unless… Guanyu wishes to tell her about it, though, I doubt that she would do so. Anyway, back to the problem at hand!

Stab!

Vulely: “…”

Guanyu: “…”

Vulely: “If you’re going to kill me again… at least be gentle this time!” I pleaded with tears in my eyes, still reeling from that impossible-to-describe-pain of having my Soul destroyed.

That stab, rather than a sword going inside me yet another time, my attacker simply pierced the tree behind me. As she looked at me like I was being silly… I realized that Guanyu did this to purely prevent my stride, blocking my path.

Listen, I might be injured (and recently revived), but I can still fight! With Celia, Guanyu (the real one) and I together, that fake Guanyu will be so damn easy to deal with. Don’t tell me that she’ll do something stupid, like forcing me to stay out of the fight!…

Guanyu: “Such absurd thoughts must be running through your mind, Vulely. It is quite a shame that I can no longer listen in on them…” She mused with a wistful tone.

Vulely: “…Well, I, for one, am grateful that my thoughts are private once more.” I replied with a groan.

Guanyu: “I miss being able to do that, but yes; I agree. My thoughts are my own… Although, after this… Celia can hear them from now on.” She agreed in reply, already thinking of way to earn forgiveness for this event.

Vulely: “Speaking of Celia, I will be getting her to pamper the fuck out of me later! Also, you aren’t going to…” My words got (Guanyu likes to do this to people, I’ve learned) cut off.

Guanyu: “Rest assured, I have no intentions of harming you; nor do I desire to prevent you from fighting. Simply put; Celia is fine for now, and Vulely, you need more rest first before we can join her.” She explained with a smile.

Vulely: “…”

Guanyu: “???”

She can’t hear my thoughts… but the woman was too damn good at reading people. From my expressions, movements, etc. Guanyu saw through me entirely. Aaaaaaa, this Cultivator is too dangerous, and we’re all stupidly lucky that Celia managed to seduce her!!!…
