Chapter 330: Will You Take Responsibility for Me?

In the night sky, the bright moon hung high.

Jia Tanchun and her sisters left the Rongguo Mansion and, surrounded by maids and nannies, returned to the Daguanyuan.

Outside, the sounds of firecrackers rose one after another, and the sounds of laughter and play drifted through the courtyard walls in waves.

It was a scene of festive liveliness.

The group felt no sleepiness; they chatted and laughed, and someone suggested going to Ouxiang Pavilion to sit for a while.

Shi Xiangyun then said, "On such a cold day, aren't you afraid of freezing if we go sit by the water? It would be better to go to Daiyu's place; it's warmer there."

Jia Yingchun said, "Daiyu has a weak constitution; she has likely already gone to sleep at this hour."

Jia Xichun laughed, "How could she be asleep so early? She is probably hiding in her room again, secretly reading the books written by that Young Master Luo."

The group burst into laughter.

Jia Tanchun also said, "Today is New Year's Eve. We are having a lively time, but Daiyu is all alone; I fear she will think of her parents. She returned early just now, so she must be feeling down. We should go over to talk with her and liven things up."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it made sense.

And so, the group marched in a grand procession toward Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

At the same time.

At this moment in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, inside Lin Daiyu's boudoir, two ethereal shadows were floating on the rafters, talking.

On the bed below, Lin Daiyu sat upright, motionless.

On a chair nearby sat another figure.

"It's fine. Just keep your eyes closed and walk forward; you won't hit the wall. Give it a try."

At this moment, Luo Zijun's soul was teaching Lin Meimei's soul how to pass through walls.

Both of their bodies were shimmering with fluorescent light, but the light on Luo Zijun's body could completely envelop him, making him invisible to others, and his entire soul looked very solid.

As for Lin Meimei's soul, the fluorescent light on her body was dim; through the vision of a soul, one could clearly see her delicate and slender figure, as well as her true appearance. Her entire soul looked very weak, as if composed of a thin wisp of mist that would dissipate at a gust of wind.

"Right, keep moving forward, don't be afraid."

Luo Zijun's soul floated to the side, encouraging her.

Lin Meimei seemed a bit afraid, but she still closed her eyes and moved toward the wall in front of her.

"Whoosh!"

Her delicate soul passed through the wall with ease.

When she opened her eyes, she was pleasantly surprised to find that she had already arrived in the living room.

"Young Master Luo, I... I really can pass through walls..."

Her face was full of joy, her eyes bright and sparkling, like a playful little girl who had discovered a very fun toy.

"I'm going back..."

This time, she was no longer afraid; she opened her eyes wide and bumped into the wall.

"Whoosh!"

She arrived back in the room with ease once again.

"So much fun..."

With a happy face, she passed out of the room again.

After repeating this several times, she no longer felt any fear; she laughed, her face full of innocent smiles.

Luo Zijun followed by her side, watching her play while telling her how to cultivate next.

Lin Daiyu listened very earnestly, but she couldn't stop playing; sometimes she would deliberately keep half her body stuck inside the wall, listening with wide eyes.

After a while, just as she passed back into the room, she suddenly felt the world go black, her body went limp, and she lost control, falling downward.

"Ah!"

She let out a cry of surprise, suddenly feeling a splitting headache.

Luo Zijun caught her soft, boneless body, flew down with her, and said, "Quickly, enter your physical body."

Lin Daiyu held her head in his arms and said, "I... I have no strength left... my head hurts so much..."

Luo Zijun had no choice but to keep holding her and said, "Then don't move; rest for a while first. You just exhausted too much Soul Power, so your soul couldn't handle it. You have only just reached the Soul Out-of-Body stage; you cannot stay out for too long, nor can you leave your physical body too far..."

Lin Daiyu lay softly in his arms, clearly feeling his body, his heartbeat, and even the scent unique to a man. She could not help but feel both shy and puzzled, asking in a bashful voice, "Luo... Young Master Luo, isn't the soul intangible? How can it... can it..."

"That is for ordinary people, or for the physical body..."

Luo Zijun held her soft, delicate body and explained patiently: "Ordinary people cannot see or touch it, so they naturally think it is intangible. But to another soul, it is a solid entity; it can be seen, touched, and even... ahem, it is no different from a physical body, except for the body temperature."

"Even what?"

Lin Daiyu asked, blinking her large eyes.

Luo Zijun stared at her beautiful, delicate face and watery eyes, and he could not help but recall those days in the underground cave, every little detail with the fairy, and said, "It can even do some strange things."

Lin Daiyu was even more confused and curious: "Young Master Luo, what are strange things?"

Just at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "Daiyu, are you asleep? We've come to talk with you."

Then, other voices rang out with laughter.
