Chapter 677: Zhongli: Boss

"It's me—just temporarily borrowing the Divine Child's identity to come here!"

Raiden Shogun smiled faintly and briefly explained the situation to the two.

"Soul exchange with someone from five hundred years ago? Unbelievable!"

Upon hearing the details, Venti's face was filled with shock.

As one of the Seven,

both his status and power were among the pinnacle of the world.

And yet, he was forcibly swapped across time by Han's reward!

Not even the person himself noticed!

Just thinking about it makes one feel utterly incredulous.

"By ordinary logic, it's absolutely impossible—but Han's reward is an exception!"

Seeing Zhongli mused for a moment.

He remembered that in the Doraemon manga, there was a time machine—a device capable of traveling through time.

With that as a comparison,

a cross-time soul swap didn't seem entirely impossible anymore?

"That's true!"

Venti nodded in strong agreement, then looked at Raiden Shogun with a hint of nostalgia.

"After what happened five hundred years ago, I never imagined we'd ever meet again."

"There will be more chances ahead—since I've come here, the future has already changed!"

Raiden Shogun said solemnly.

Both of them nodded in full agreement.

The war in Kairai came too suddenly; none of the Seven were prepared.

Otherwise, Raiden Shogun would never have perished there.

Now that they knew the future's outcome,

combined with the rewards later obtained from Han's store,

there was a high chance they could alter the tragic past.

If so, perhaps Inazuma's plight could be resolved.

As old friends of Raiden Shogun, Venti and Seeing Zhongli naturally welcomed this possibility.

"Enough reminiscing—the time is short, I've got manga to read!"

Raiden Shogun held up the Digimon manga she was holding,

then walked into the store.

Venti and Seeing Zhongli made no move to stop her.

They wanted to help, but they couldn't.

Because this was a soul swap—even with powerful rewards, they couldn't give her any.

So the best course was to leave her undisturbed.

And silently hope she had good luck.

"Sigh, Han, it feels like your store keeps getting more and more miraculous things～～."

After Raiden Shogun left, Venti turned to Han Feng with a look of wonder.

Only a short while had passed, and now soul swapping had appeared.

Who knew what strange reward he'd encounter next?

"If you're interested, you can try—the manga Eightfold Kami is reading is right on the shelf."

Han Feng chuckled lightly.

"Cough, cough, better not!"

Venti waved his hands frantically.

Raiden Shogun was a special case—she needed this kind of help.

But what use would it be to him?

And just imagining someone else using his body,

or him being swapped into a female body,

made Venti shiver involuntarily.

It was even scarier than cats!

What if, by bad luck, he ended up swapping souls with a cat…

Then Venti might as well go smash his head against a block of tofu.

"Han, could you recommend me something actually interesting? Otherwise I won't have anything to tell tomorrow."

Seeing Han Feng about to recommend another book, Venti sighed helplessly.

"Something interesting to tell stories?"

Han Feng's mind stirred.

If he could depress a whole crowd, wouldn't that be fascinating?

Thinking of this, Han Feng moved his hand—and a manga appeared in his palm.

"Read this one—it's extremely interesting. The audience will absolutely love it."

"Oh? Let me see!"

Venti took the manga with eager curiosity.

"Your Lie in April"?

What a strange name…

Would a manga like that really be interesting?
