The White Moonlight Subdues Everyone with a Suona - Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Na Na Na Na Na
Li Fuqing’s expression had completely frozen.
Ji Bingyu’s voice was already loud enough as it was. As luck would have it, Li Fuqing had intentionally used a top-grade Amplification Talisman just to irritate people. The resulting effect was practically like the God of Agriculture running into Jin Kela—one plus one ended up far greater than eight hundred and eighty-eight.
At that moment, within a ten-li radius, the words began to echo in everyone’s ears.
“The one on your left! Between your teeth!”
“There’s! A! Vegetable! Leaf—”
“Between your teeth!”
“There’s! A! Vegetable! Leaf—”
“There’s! A! Vegetable! Leaf—”
“Vegetable! Leaf—”
“Leaf—”
…
If Ji Bingyu had not suddenly fainted dead away right after saying those words, Li Fuqing would never have let her off so easily back then.
Damn it! Thinking about it still makes me so mad!
“What are you so mad about?”
A clear, gentle male voice chuckled. Setting down the teacup in his hand, he raised his eyelids to look at his eldest disciple.
His ethereal, breathtaking face was like clouds and mist on the horizon—ethereal, handsome, and imbued with an immortal’s elegance. His eyes were slightly curved, so soft and handsome that he seemed utterly unearthly.
It was precisely such a gentle person who parted his thin lips and said softly, “Isn’t the rabbit with a vegetable leaf stuck on its teeth actually you? That little girl was merely telling the truth.”
“Besides, before you went down, didn’t I remind you to clean your teeth?”
“Fuqing, it was simply your own carelessness.”
“…You’re the rabbit! Rong Qingyuan! I said that was just stain left by Manzhu grass juice, not a vegetable leaf!”
The moment he roared out that name, Li Fuqing received a cold glance like ice from the other man. The man opened his mouth with an ambiguous smile, “Who is the rabbit?”
Li Fuqing instantly lost his nerve. All the aura around him completely dissipated, and the young boy went from an about-to-darken Great Demon Lord straight into a gloomy, pitiful little rabbit.
The tiny young boy slumped with an expressionless face and said blankly, “I’m sorry, Master. The rabbit is me, I am the rabbit. Being a rabbit makes me so happy, qua qua qua qua.”
Rong Qingyuan, “…”
Seeing that the other party was already angered to the point of losing his mind, Rong Qingyuan showed a rare moment of kindness and did not continue to provoke this pitiful rabbit from the Northern Demon Realm.
Immediately after, Li Fuqing knelt on the ground and said blankly, “This disciple is willing to accept three thousand lashes of the discipline whip. May I use this as an exchange to beg Master never to bring up the matter of cleaning teeth again?”
Rong Qingyuan, whom he called “Master” from the high seat, truly could not hold back his laughter.
Having finally seen enough of the joke, he showed mercy and said, “Go on. Remember to call Hage here, I have some matters to instruct him on.”
“For the next few days, if you don’t wish to, you don’t have to step outside.”
Hearing those final words, Li Fuqing’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude.
Taking the order immediately, he vanished on the spot.
As for Rong Qingyuan sitting on the cold ice bed, he silently recited a name in his heart.
The name was like a spell, lingering between his lips and teeth before he read it out softly.
“Ji Bingyu.”
Once this word was spoken, the air froze imperceptibly.
In a place out of sight, there seemed to be a subtle cracking sound.
Rong Qingyuan did not care about any of this. He stood up, a lock of hair falling beside his cheek. The strands were light and soft, and an unshakeable smile poured out from those affectionate eyes.
“You’re finally here.”
…
On the other side, Ji Bingyu, who had woken up from her coma, finally figured out the situation.
This time, it probably wasn’t a dream.
Ji Bingyu was no fool. Earlier, perhaps due to nervousness or other reasons, she had not noticed any physical pain. But ever since she woke up, the sharp pain in her arm rushed over clearly, making her realize something was wrong in an instant.
Ji Bingyu was completely wide awake.
In dreams, there was never such a clear and definite sensation of pain.
[…Of course this isn’t a dream.] The mysterious voice that had been gone for a long time finally came back online, speaking limply, [When you dream, can you dream of so many clear faces of strangers and flawless environmental scenery?!]
The more it spoke, the angrier it got. Ji Bingyu could always feel a hint of a cry in this mysterious voice.
Out of politeness, she suppressed the urge to say “Ah yes, I can, I really can”, chose to remain silent on the question, coughed lightly, and asked in her mind, [So I’ve transmigrated?]
The mysterious voice was stunned by Ji Bingyu’s question.
This lady… isn’t she being a bit too calm!
Before it could figure out how to respond, it heard Ji Bingyu fire off a volley of questions in her mind—
[So who are you? Where do you live? How old are you? Are you married? How old is your child? Is it a boy or a girl? Have you bought a school district house? How are your child’s grades? Can they get into a top university? How many instruments have you learned, how many languages can you speak, and how much of the periodic table can you recite?]
This wasn’t intentional on Ji Bingyu’s part. Whenever she got nervous, she would either stay silent or chatter away frantically.
At the end, Ji Bingyu paused and coaxed persuasively, [The policy this year is pretty good. What do you think, considering having a second child?]
[Not considering… Wait, no! What on earth are all these things!] The mysterious voice finally shed its initial act of being deep and mysterious, turning furious instead, [As the Heavenly Law—System, how could I linger in the mortal world like you mediocre mortals!]
Halfway through speaking, the mysterious voice shifted its words quite guiltily. It secretly looked at Ji Bingyu’s expression and let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, this current host isn’t sharp and scary like the one next door.
In the area where the mysterious voice—that is, the Heavenly Law—could not reach, a spark of light quickly flashed across Ji Bingyu’s lowered eyes. As if she hadn’t noticed at all that the Heavenly Law had just slipped up, she teased in her mind, [So you’re a single dog~]
[Tsk, doggie, come tell your dad, what kind of place is this?]
This version of Ji Bingyu had neither her previous stubbornness when she insisted on staring at Yan Yiduan with a gloomy face, nor her fearless attitude when she suddenly blurted out shocking words earlier. She looked just like a normal person.
When she smiled slightly, she genuinely had a bit of that “ice skin and jade bones, otherworldly and transcendent” white moonlight vibe from the original novel.
The Heavenly Law, which claimed to be a “System”, was completely fooled by this outer appearance. It thought to itself that that great person had appeared in this world, so a character closely related to this world couldn’t possibly be a brain-damaged fool… right.
With such a thought as its foundation, when the Heavenly Law looked at Ji Bingyu again, it couldn’t help but feel a bit of lofty arrogance.
It was born as the Heavenly Law. Although it had broken apart due to the collapse a thousand years ago and had to seek every possible chance of survival, even after drifting for a thousand years, it still held the pride of being a set of rules of a realm.
Having been outsmarted by Ji Bingyu several times in a row earlier, the Heavenly Law naturally hoped to win back a round.
[This is another space in an alternate world, fundamentally not much different from the world you originally lived in.] The Heavenly Law spoke slowly in Ji Bingyu’s mind. Wanting to win back a round, its tone had a quite pretentious vibe to it, [And your selection to come here is naturally your opportunity. As long as you listen to me and do as I say when necessary, you won’t lack benefits.]
The Heavenly Law paused for a few seconds, putting on a full posture before continuing deliberately.
[When the time comes, whether you want to return to the real world or stay in this realm, you can make the decision yourself.]
That was not the case at all.
Ji Bingyu caught the flash of images in her mind and understood clearly in her heart.
This thing calling itself “Heavenly Law” was hiding things from her and hadn’t spoken the truth at all right now.
Now that she confirmed she wasn’t in a dream and had an outside presence right in front of her, Ji Bingyu’s original gloomy air vanished completely, and her brain began to spin rapidly.
Thinking of those quite familiar names mentioned earlier like “Brother Xuanyuan” and “Young Master Yan”, Ji Bingyu smiled slightly.
[Doggie—]
[My name isn’t Doggie!]
[Tsk, a humble name makes for easy raising.] Ji Bingyu waved her hand carelessly. She got up and leaned against the headboard, seemingly idly playing with the tassel hanging by the bed.
[Why do I feel like the names ‘Brother Xuanyuan’ and ‘Young Master Yan’ brought up earlier sound so familiar?] Ji Bingyu said thoughtfully, [They even sound like titles that only exist in certain novels?]
[So I’ve transmigrated into a book—]
[It’s not transmigrating into a book, just your misconception.] The Heavenly Law’s voice was calm without a ripple.
This Ji Bingyu was already difficult enough to deal with. If she knew everything, wouldn’t it be controlled by others in the future?!
Thinking of itself as the grand Heavenly Law, it would never be so pathetic!
Recalling the web novels from Ji Bingyu’s space that it had browsed through, the Heavenly Law tried to ignore the strange addressing and drag things back onto the “right track”, [Getting back to the point, next, you must do well the tasks I give you, otherwise…]
[But doggie—]
The Heavenly Law finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, [My name isn’t Doggie!]
To think that as a fragment of the grand Heavenly Law, in whichever space it was placed, wasn’t it a presence respected and revered by people?! Yet this damned ant didn’t know what was good for her and called it ‘Doggie’ one after another!
The Heavenly Law felt so wronged; the Heavenly Law really wanted to cry.
[Then what should I call you?] Ji Bingyu casually swung the tassel back and forth, [Sing-ie, Le-ie, Dog-ie, Sys-ie, Tem-ie?]
Extremely angered, the Heavenly Law actually calmed down instead.
It finally understood. This host was periodically normal and frequently crazy.
Sometimes gloomily frantic, sometimes calmly infuriating.
It was just like that bear child everyone meets during New Year’s who breaks your action figure and then wails loudly, “This thing poked my hand!”
Could one endure it?
Naturally, no!
To deal with such a person, one could only give them a taste of their own medicine.
The Heavenly Law believed it had thought things through clearly. It confidently curled up an origin corner that didn’t exist and opened its mouth to say—
[Ji-ie…]
Almost at the exact same time! A boom of thunder exploded inside Ji Bingyu’s mind, startling her so much that she jumped off the bed by reflex. Out of instinct, she looked into the water mirror beside the bed. Seeing that she was completely unharmed, she gave a satisfied smile and continued leaning back on the bed with her eyes half-squinted.
Thus, when the Heavenly Law was in a fluster, barely managing to extinguish the thunderfire on the only fragment it could sneak out from its restraint, it heard a voice echo eerily in its mind.
[Still trying to fool me into thinking it’s not transmigrating into a book?]
[So many banned words, tsk, dog son, tell the truth, did you come from Jinjiang Literature City?]
After all, among all the flashy web literature platforms, only Jinjiang stands out, green in a fresh and refined way.
Jinjiang must never feature banned words!
Ji Bingyu lamented, details truly determine success or failure!
Having listened to the whole process of Ji Bingyu’s mental deduction, the Heavenly Law went silent for a moment.
A few seconds later, it cried out with a ‘Woof’.
