Chapter 493: This Is Not My Master!

"As you can see—"

The voice that sounded beside him was his own, but without bone conduction, it sounded a bit strange.

"We have temporarily swapped bodies, but it is not a complete exchange of consciousness in the true sense. Therefore, you will slowly discover many contradictory points, and these contradictions are the very reason I did this... As for you, it doesn't matter; the duration is about six to eight hours, you handle the timing yourself."

"Your voice sounds so strange."

"It is your voice."

"No wonder it's so pleasant, like music from the heavens."

"..."

"What contradictory points?"

"You will discover them slowly."

"I think I've discovered one..."

Chen Shu had already gotten out of bed and stood before the floor-length mirror, observing himself at this moment.

Obviously, the Qingqing at this moment was the same as the Qingqing he usually saw, but previously he felt Qingqing was as beautiful as a celestial being, and it would be hard to find another person in this world who looked better to him than Qingqing—even a pure-blooded Heavenly Human, even the beauty-filtered female warriors on the internet, even old Lao Zhangtou next door, none of them could compare—but now, the Qingqing in the mirror seemed to him somewhat... ordinary?

It wasn't exactly ordinary; his reason told him she was still very beautiful, but he just couldn't find any highlights.

Two kinds of feelings collided in his mind.

"What is the principle behind this?"

"Because human thinking and ideas are determined by the brain, the body, and the Spirit Soul together; no single part can determine our thoughts alone. We only swapped things at the Spirit Soul level, while the brain relies on a special connection, much like two devices controlling each other over a network; it must maintain a certain distance to take effect, and it cannot completely replace the other person's brain or establish a connection with the other person's body." His own voice kept coming, not only sounding unfamiliar due to simple air conduction, but the tone was also very cold, not at all like how he would speak. "But the body is completely the other person's body. Therefore, you can retain your own thoughts while also feeling the collision of different thinking and ideas brought about by the other person's original body and brain."

"So that's how it is..."

Chen Shu nodded, his hand already touching his own chest.

"Slap~"

A bolt of Spirit Power flew over and struck his hand.

"Hiss!"

Chen Shu instantly turned his head, his face full of accusation: "What are you doing? Do you know that my Spirit Power Quality is very high? That hurts!"

Ning Qing ignored him and got up to put on her shoes.

She was wearing Chen Shu's slippers.

Chen Shu looked at this 'himself,' yet his lover was controlling the body inside, and the feeling was quite wondrous for a moment.

His hand touched his chest again...

This... there's no feeling at all!?

"Slap~"

Ning Qing swatted his hand away again.

"Is it necessary? I've already touched it before." Chen Shu lowered his hand and glanced at her again, "Why don't I feel anything... You come and touch it, let me experience what you feel when I'm being dishonest."

"No feeling."

"I don't believe it."

"Haven't you already experienced it?"

"I'll experience it again." Chen Shu grinned, "It's me inside the body now, maybe it's different."

"..."

Ning Qing stared at him coldly.

"Emmm..."

How should he put it? Ning Qing using his own body and looking at him with that gaze had absolutely no lethality... he even felt it was a bit comical.

"Forget it if you won't touch."

Chen Shu shook his head and walked toward the wardrobe.

A glance showed that person following him closely.

"Why are you following me?"

"..."

Chen Shu's hand had already grabbed that black tight-fitting camisole dress, but he paused, switched to another spot, took a pair of off-white wide-leg pants, and then took a white base layer top and a small suit-like jacket from the other side. When he wanted to take the undergarments, Qingqing had already taken them for him.

"Pervert!"

Chen Shu took the undergarments from her hand and walked toward the bathroom.

That person still followed closely behind him.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Shu couldn't help but turn his head to ask again.

That person said nothing, only stared at him coldly, following behind him, not leaving his side.

Chen Shu was helpless and had to walk into the bathroom.

Then he began to undo the buttons of his pajamas and couldn't help but glance at Qingqing.

Even though they had long since been open with each other and had even bathed together, and he knew full well that this body was the other person's and not his own, he still inevitably felt a trace of awkwardness during this process of changing clothes.

Interesting, interesting...

Chen Shu changed into the pants first and buttoned them up. Although there was still some excess at the waist, due to the proportions of the hips and pelvis, they wouldn't fall down.

He knew Qingqing's figure.

"Help me put this on."

Chen Shu turned his back to Qingqing.

Ning Qing pursed her lips, walked over, and fastened the buttons on his back. Her fingertips inadvertently touched his back, and both Chen Shu, who had Qingqing's body, and Ning Qing, who was using Chen Shu's body, felt a strange sensation.

"So strange..."

He then finished putting on his shirt and threw on a jacket, stopping to look at Ning Qing with the air of someone watching a show:

"Alright, your turn."

"..."

Ning Qing remained expressionless, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the bathroom by force.

"What are you doing?

"Are you being polite?

"This isn't fair!

"Double standards!"

Chen Shu was already used to this double-standard dog; when the bathroom door closed in front of him, he couldn't be bothered to say more, shook his head, and went downstairs to cook.

His gait was also somewhat awkward.

It was as if he were unfamiliar with this body, yet it could operate on its own; this body and his brain were a perfect fit, but his consciousness, having been transferred from elsewhere, was completely at odds with them—coordinating on one hand while conflicting on the other, a very strange feeling.

Perhaps it was this lack of coordination, this contradiction and strangeness, that gave him the possibility of experiencing Ning Qing's sensations, and would also give Ning Qing a different experience.

Hmm, walking with breasts is really strange.

At the same time—

Ning Qing also stood before the bathroom mirror, indifferently staring at her upper body at this moment.

The two bodies had very significant differences.

Different height, different muscles, different structure, and different nerves; therefore, every movement, or even just standing still, felt distinctly different... and as a Secret Sect Practitioner, she undoubtedly had more and finer perceptions.

Human thoughts and ideas are truly not solely influenced by the brain; from top to bottom, many mechanisms in the body affect a person's thinking.

Using Chen Shu's body, she could clearly feel the difference between herself and her normal state.

For example, just now when buttoning Chen Shu's shirt, touching her own original skin, there was actually a tingling sensation, her heart rate accelerated, and hormones were secreted, which to a certain extent affected her thinking. As for her original self, even when touching Chen Shu's body, the reaction would never be this intense; after getting used to touching it, there would be no reaction at all, just like touching herself.

The mechanism of this effect is very interesting.

Ning Qing's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a long time, she picked up her clothes, put them on, and walked downstairs.

Having never used a male body before, she also walked a bit awkwardly, but her adaptability was stronger than Chen Shu's, and she adjusted quickly.

Today is the weekend, so there is no need to go to work.

Of course, many colleagues at the research institute have to go to work even on weekends; when the older sister and brother-in-law originally went to Nanzhou, the young girl was the same. But now she has handed over many tedious tasks to others, going to work and leaving on time every day, and when encountering problems, she mostly ponders them at home.

Naturally, she isn't going today.

But mature people always have this or that to busy themselves with throughout the day, and the young girl is the same.

The first semester of her senior year has already ended, and her advisor has started urging her to submit her thesis; it just so happens that she has been conducting relevant research work recently, and just by taking a snippet from it, she could produce a super high-quality paper.

So the young girl sat down at the computer desk again, opened the computer, and began to type away with a clatter.

"Mmm~~"

Taozi woke up.

The young girl looked back and saw the little cat-girl bleary-eyed and dazed, crawling toward her on the bed as if she were still a little kitten.

Fortunately, when she crawled to the edge of the bed, she remembered she needed to put on shoes; she lowered her head to put them on, then stood behind her while rubbing her eyes, standing honestly and still to watch her write her thesis.

Clanging sounds came from downstairs.

It must be the brother-in-law cooking.

The young girl turned back to stroke Taozi's head and continued typing away.

By the time she finished writing this train of thought, she could already smell the fragrance wafting up from below, so she closed the computer and led Taozi downstairs:

"Let's go, time to eat."

"Let's go, time to eat~"

The little cat-girl subconsciously imitated her, wearing her pajamas and little slippers, following behind her while wagging her tail.

The two arrived downstairs and looked up—

The brother-in-law was standing under the eaves, expressionless, facing the courtyard as if admiring the snow, while the sounds from the kitchen continued to drift out.

It's not the brother-in-law cooking?

Then who is it? Is it the older sister?

"Morning, brother-in-law."

"Morning, Uncle Chen~"

"Morning."

The brother-in-law turned his head to glance at them indifferently and responded, then suddenly beckoned to her:

"Come here."

"Oh..."

The young girl walked over in confusion and stood in front of the brother-in-law.

She saw the brother-in-law reach out, place his hand on top of her head, and immediately begin a chaotic rub.

The young girl stood obediently in place, subconsciously lowering her head, feeling the... unfamiliar touch from this familiar hand; how to put it, the force and the way of rubbing were completely different from before, which made her feel a wave of confusion.

Why does the brother-in-law feel so strange today?

Could it be that he was beaten badly by the older sister? But it's not the first or second time the brother-in-law has been beaten by the older sister; she was long used to it. Even after being beaten, he would still talk to her and play with her just the same.

The young girl lowered her head, and while having her hair rubbed, she asked with concern: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

The force of the hand increased.

This time, it lasted for a very long time.

While being rubbed back and forth, the little girl continued to worry about her brother-in-law's condition:

"Then you..."

"Is it not okay to pat your head?"

"Oh..."

Although the little girl did not know what was wrong with her brother-in-law, she could tell that he was not quite right, so she let him rub her head, thinking it might help him relieve his boredom.

Until the hand pulled away.

"Are you done?"

"Mm."

Brother-in-law is very cold today...

The little girl felt puzzled, exchanged a look with Taozi, and they walked toward the kitchen in tacit agreement, their movements involuntarily becoming sneaky.

Sure enough, it was the older sister/master cooking.

The two figures, one big and one small, looked at each other again.

At this moment—

As if sensing their arrival, the older sister suddenly turned around, her face full of enthusiasm: "You're awake? Have you finished washing up? Dinner will be ready soon."

"!"

The little girl was stunned at first, then her face filled with Fear.

Taozi also rubbed her eyes, feeling that today's master was strange, but she was her master after all, so she lowered her head and walked over, stopping only when she bumped her head against her master's waist, then she shook her head and rubbed against her twice.

She saw her master turn around again and look down at her, her expression so gentle, and she affectionately rubbed her head:

"Go wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat."

"!"

The little cat-girl was suddenly filled with Surprise.

Wrong! This is not her master! Her master would never be this gentle!

The little cat-girl could not help but tilt her head high, staring blankly at her master, then she turned her head to the side, wanting to seek an explanation from senior Xiaoxiao, only to see that senior Xiaoxiao also had her eyes wide open, looking even more dazed than she was.
