Chapter 319: The Unreal World

~8 min read 1,467 words

In the dirty and chaotic alley, there were two small figures.

After seeing Luo Yunshang, the memories in Wang Jianqiang's mind suddenly became clear.

This was the second year since he transmigrated to this world.

One year ago, he met Luo Yunshang.

The two began to rely on each other for survival.

Not long ago, the small alley where they lived, which was still relatively clean, was coveted by three vagrants.

The other party were adults, and their bodies were far stronger than theirs.

They beat them up severely and drove them out of that alley.

He was even beaten into a coma, and only just woke up now.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's voice, the slovenly girl's crying paused, and she looked over at Wang Jianqiang.

When she saw that Wang Jianqiang had already woken up, the sadness on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of surprise and joy.

"Little Qiangqiang, you're finally awake."

In her excitement, she moved to help Wang Jianqiang up.

But just as Wang Jianqiang's upper body left the ground, a wave of intense pain suddenly surged from all over his body.

Hiss~

He gasped and couldn't help but groan in pain.

"Ah~ Little Qiangqiang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"I won't move you anymore, please, you must not die."

The girl seemed to be frightened and hurriedly laid Wang Jianqiang back down on the ground, looking somewhat at a loss.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the girl's face, his expression somewhat dazed.

He always felt as if he had forgotten some important memories.

He frowned and pondered, but could not recall them no matter what.

Watching Wang Jianqiang's furrowed brows, Luo Yunshang couldn't help but cry again, "Woooo~ It's all my fault for causing you to end up like this."

"If I could have held on a little longer, let them get tired from hitting me, perhaps they wouldn't have hit you anymore."

"I am so useless."

Wang Jianqiang's train of thought was interrupted by Luo Yunshang's crying.

After hearing Luo Yunshang's words, he couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration.

What kind of logic is this?

But then again, Luo Yunshang's constitution was indeed somewhat different from ordinary people.

Not only was her strength much greater than others of her age, but she was also not easily injured.

Even when injured, the speed of her recovery was quite astonishing.

Take the previous beating, for example.

In fact, it was Luo Yunshang who was beaten the hardest by those people.

When the little girl saw him being beaten, she frantically punched and kicked those people, making them fly into a rage.

If it had been an ordinary person.

Even an adult would probably have been beaten to death.

Yet not only was she not beaten to death, she even carried him and escaped!

"Luo Yunshang, this isn't your fault; it's my constitution that is too weak," Wang Jianqiang couldn't help but say to comfort her.

Luo Yunshang shook her head, wanting to say something more, then suddenly reacted, "Little Qiangqiang, how many times have I told you to call me sister."

As she spoke, there were still tears in her eyes that had yet to fall.

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang felt a mix of amusement and frustration in his heart.

He was a transmigrator; although he looked very young, the Soul inside his body had long since reached adulthood.

How could he be so childish as to call a ten-year-old girl "sister"?

If Lingxi and the others found out about this, wouldn't they laugh him to death?

Huh?

Who is Lingxi?

Wang Jianqiang froze.

Why did a strange name suddenly appear in his mind?

Just at this moment, Luo Yunshang's somewhat eager voice suddenly came, "Little Qiangqiang, you've never called me sister before; just say it once, okay?"

"I'm begging you~"

"In your dreams."

Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses and curled his lips.

His injuries were not light, and he soon fell into a deep sleep again.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang asleep.

Luo Yunshang was worried about Wang Jianqiang's injuries and wanted to watch over him to prevent any accidents.

But she was too exhausted.

The beating she endured was far more severe than Wang Jianqiang's; although her constitution was different from ordinary people and she didn't need to worry about life-threatening danger.

But the physical pain was impossible to eliminate.

Under the torment of the pain, her spirit was already at its limit.

Before long, she unknowingly leaned against Wang Jianqiang and fell asleep.

The next day.

When Wang Jianqiang woke up, the pain in his body had already lessened quite a bit.

He was just preparing to get up when he suddenly felt his chest was a bit heavy.

Looking up, he saw Luo Yunshang was leaning against his chest, fast asleep.

Seeming to sense Wang Jianqiang's movement, she woke up from her sleep and immediately sat up.

"Little Qiangqiang, you're awake? Are you feeling a bit better?"

"Much better."

Wang Jianqiang stood up with some difficulty.

Although his body was still aching faintly, he was already able to walk around slowly.

Luo Yunshang's expression turned joyful, "That's great."

Rumble~

Just at this moment, a sound suddenly came from Wang Jianqiang's stomach.

"You're hungry, right? I'll go find you something to eat right now."

Seeing this, Luo Yunshang immediately ran toward the outside of the alley.

After Luo Yunshang left, Wang Jianqiang sat down leaning against the wall, looking at the dirty and messy scene around him, his expression somewhat dazed.

For some reason, he always felt that everything around him was a bit dreamlike.

It was as if it were covered by a hazy veil.

There was a sense of unreality.

Moreover, some inexplicable names and vocabulary kept appearing in his mind.

Things like Mu Lingxi, Wang Yuyao, Junzi Sect, Karma, sleeping... and so on.

Did he have some kind of mental problem?

Could it be schizophrenia?

As a dignified transmigrator, it would be bad enough not to be given a system, but if he also had schizophrenia, that would be too miserable, right?

Huh?

System?

Why did he always feel as if he had awakened a system?

It's over, he wouldn't really have schizophrenia, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit panicked in his heart.

Amidst these wild thoughts, he didn't know how much time had passed when a voice suddenly came.

"Little Qiangqiang, I'm back. Look what good food I found for you?"

Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses and looked toward the entrance of the alley.

A petite figure with tattered clothes and dirty, messy hair came running hurriedly from the alley entrance.

It was none other than Luo Yunshang.

At this moment, Luo Yunshang was holding two steaming hot buns in her hands.

It was just that the buns seemed to have been dropped on the ground, as the surface was covered in quite a bit of dust and dirt.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

Hot buns!

When he had first transmigrated here, because he was unfamiliar with the environment and young in age, he had almost starved to death.

It wasn't until he met Luo Yunshang that he was able to survive with her help.

But their food was limited to leftovers scavenged from trash heaps; when had they ever seen something this fresh and delicious?

"Hee hee, I'm so lucky today. I don't know who dropped two buns, but I happened to find them."

Luo Yunshang happily came before Wang Jianqiang and handed the two buns to Wang Jianqiang, "Here, your injuries haven't healed yet, you need to eat more, hurry up and eat."

"I'll just eat one."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head and only took one bun.

"I have food."

Luo Yunshang shook her head, forcibly shoved the other bun into Wang Jianqiang's hand, and then pulled a small, black, hard piece of something from her dirty clothes.

"Here~"

"I'll just eat this."

Wang Jianqiang looked at that small, dry, hard piece of bun in her hand that was almost comparable to a stone, and his heart felt blocked.

Although Luo Yunshang was small, she was very responsible.

Every time she found food, she would give the best to him and eat the leftovers herself.

If there wasn't enough food, she would rather go hungry herself.

Just at this moment.

At the alley entrance, three figures walked in, cursing and swearing.

"Haha, so these two little brats ran here."

"You two little runts are actually quite tough; you managed to escape from us yesterday."

"Huh, hot buns? What kind of dog-shit luck did you two brats have? You actually found hot buns!"

When the three of them walked closer and saw the buns in Wang Jianqiang's hands, their eyes immediately lit up.
