Chapter 309: Chapter 276: Passing Through, Another One to Fish Out!

Everything had finally been resolved successfully.

Even one might say, to everyone’s delight!

The evil "Ji Xiang" had turned into the kind-hearted "Ji Xiang."

Lala, who had failed repeatedly, had finally completed her "task."

Jiang Xiao had secured an unexpected boon—the ability to "separate souls"!

Moreover, after the last time he had bargained with the Godfather’s Staff and sacrificial robes with Kaidan, Jiang Xiao had realized something.

That was the fact that not all artifacts had equivalent prices, and their values varied.

He didn’t know just what level this "domain-type" artifact belonged to.

Compared to the previous Obsession Pearl, the effects of soul separation seemed quite mundane...

But... But if he were to use it himself, Jiang Xiao felt confident that he would be invincible.

He was convinced that no one could kill SpongeBob SquarePants in the Kaidan of Bikini Bottom.

As for the team leader and Sister Bo, they were each quite skilled, and most importantly, all the personalities in his mind were good-natured.

If they were to build a domain... or rather, a "Kaidan"...

Eek!

Jiang Xiao shuddered.

The Chosen Ones who entered to face the challenge were sure to survive no more than three days! No, even two days would be tough!

Hmm, not selling it!

Unless Kaidan could directly exchange the "separation of soul" for something, Jiang Xiao was not willing to trade it away.

Jiang Xiao basked in considerations of the future.

Beside him, Lala was instructing Xiaoqin about various tasks after leaving.

All three were awaiting the arrival of 8 AM.

...

"Xiaoya! Xiaoya, you have to be strong, sob sob sob..."

"Nani... Is this the heavens wanting to destroy my Sakura?"

"Everyone, hold on, Xiaoya may not be as bad off as we think!"

Xiaoya, who was just attacked by the black fog, had performed "self-hypnosis" on herself.

The effect was very pronounced.

Now, her face was covered with black stripes, her nails had turned utterly black, and her pupils had also become pitch-black.

She leaned motionless against the door.

Even though Xiaoya already looked quite strange, she kept muttering "I am human" from her lips.

However, her mental state was clearly very hazy, already on the brink of collapse.

A moment’s inattention would surely result in her falling into darkness forever.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, our Sakura Live Room hasn’t gone dark yet! We haven’t failed! Xiaoya, hold on, you haven’t found your sister yet!"

As time trickled by, there were fewer and fewer comments in the Sakura Live Room, but the number of viewers kept rising.

More people chose to cheer for the little girl silently in their hearts.

Being able to hold on for so long while encompassed by the black mist, even with "self-hypnosis," was enough to prove the strength of Xiaoya’s mental resilience.

Now, it was less Xiaoya struggling against the black fog,

And more her "natural talent" battling the "black fog."

Even so, as the battleground for a dual conflict, Xiaoya’s condition was quite poor.

Her gradually closing eyes and increasingly faint breathing made it clear she was about to give in.

’Bing,’ at precisely 7:50 AM,

The Sakura Live Room still switched to a black screen.

"It’s over..."

Everyone’s hearts sank.

But until 7:55 AM, the announcement of Xiaoya’s failure had yet to arrive.

What was happening?

"It’s fine, it’s fine, she’s still alive, she must be!"

Finally.

Under the fervent prayers of the people, the Sakura Live Room at exactly 8 AM echoed with the system’s notification.

"Ding, Sakura Country’s Chosen One, Xiaoya, has cleared the Kaidan world ’The Never-Ending Hospital’!"

Success!

Everybody breathed a sigh of relief.

And of course, Jiang Xiao had also cleared the challenge, although a normal clear was not perfect.

Following custom, Jiang Xiao had allocated all attribute points to strength, and then he was back in that pristine white space.

"Could you help me out and take a look, how many artifacts is this thing worth?"

Jiang Xiao pulled out the artifact that Lala had willingly given him.

Analog Horror: "How many artifacts is it worth?"

Astonished at the no-brainer question Jiang Xiao had posed, the voice of Analog Horror once again lost its aloof appeal.

Analog Horror: "You’re holding an artifact and asking me how many artifacts it’s worth? Can’t count?"

Anyone with a brain cell wouldn’t ask such a question, right?

"But, but I feel like it could be worth several pieces..."

Analog Horror: "Child, what on earth has happened recently to make you so ordinary, yet so confident?"

"Okay, then I’ll just keep it to play with by myself..."

Each bizarre artifact had its own unique characteristics; perhaps the way Jiang Xiao had measured it just now wasn’t quite right.

But it didn’t matter; he was also curious about what it felt like to play with a soul-separating item.

Analog Horror fell silent for a while, watching as Jiang Xiao was about to leave, then promptly asked.

"Keep it to play with? How would you play? What do you plan to play with?"

"I want to pull out all the thoughts in my head and see what’s going on, make friends with them! I want to roam around Bikini Bottom, I want to fight in Ping’an County, I want to attain the position of a Heavenly Master, I want to learn the ultimate techniques of flirting..."

Are these the words of a sane person?

The brain isn’t something you can just play around with!

Analog Horror: "How about, I mean, what do you think it should be worth in terms of bizarre artifacts?"

"Two, nah! Three, five! Seven is good! I’m not greedy; if you insist on giving me nine, I won’t stop you."

To be honest.

What kind of people hadn’t Analog Horror seen?

But someone like Jiang Xiao, who kept pushing her boundaries again and again, was truly the first of his kind...

But really, this thing shouldn’t be played with by this kid.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it break the established rules?

Tsk, how on earth did a soul-separating item like this end up in the hands of this kid?

After some bargaining, Jiang Xiao’s wish was finally fulfilled.

That was to direct-exchange one of the bizarre artifacts for one person, saving Jiang Xiao a nine-star Kaidan’s worth of time.

Kaidan thought she’d lost a little on the surface but actually gained a lot, avoiding a lot of trouble.

Jiang Xiao was also glad he started with a highball offer of nine artifacts.

If he had proposed to exchange one soul-separating artifact for a person straight away, Kaidan would not have agreed.

As powerful as a soul-separating artifact might be, it cannot compare to the comfort of a reunited family, right?

Looking at it, there were only two or three months left until the New Year.

Both Jiang Xiao and Kaidan... they felt that they didn’t lose out in this deal~

Analog Horror: "None of the three is in life-threatening danger, just choose whom you want."

If all were safe.

Logically, he should choose Sun Wei, after all, daughters are three, but a wife is just one; Jiang Xiao was always a man who knew his priorities.

But on the other hand.

Sun Wei was an adult, after all, and should be responsible for what Jiang Xiao had done.

But Shi Shi and Bai Yi were still young, barely managing their own life skills; if they went wandering like Mu Xitang...

"May I ask, who is having a harder time between Bai Yi and Shi Shi, or living more uncomfortably?"

This kind of question was clearly not within the scope of Analog Horror’s responses.

However, considering Jiang Xiao was one of the few people she could actually talk to, Kaidan was still straightforward.

Analog Horror: "The colder one isn’t doing too well, isn’t much liked, and doesn’t fit in with the world she’s in."

Doesn’t fit in?

Isn’t that just being marginalized?

Thinking this way, Jiang Xiao no longer hesitated and made up his mind.

"Then her, come out, Shi Shi!"

Analog Horror: "Good!"

The trade was completed.

The little box in Jiang Xiao’s hand disappeared.

In front of him, a small figure slowly materialized.

The person seemed a bit confused about the situation and looked rather bewildered.

Hmm?

Something wasn’t right?

Jiang Xiao’s memory wasn’t the best, but if he recalled correctly, wasn’t Shi Shi supposed to have white hair and twin ponytails?

Clearly, this was a long-haired little girl...

"Hey? Daddy? Daddy!"

One uncertain call, two unsure ones, and after the third, Bai Yi had clung to Jiang Xiao.

She buried her head in Jiang Xiao’s chest, shaking incessantly, her tone unable to hide her excitement, and she even started crying.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy!"

"Hey? Hold on a second."

Jiang Xiao picked up the snotty Bai Yi to take a closer look.

This girl didn’t look cold at all, huh?

But the clothes she wore were indeed shabby, even worse than Mu Xitang’s original pink hair.

Analog Horror: "Yes, she’s the one who acted the coldest."

"Who? Who’s talking! Daddy, protect me!"

Bai Yi, with a howl, tried to burrow back into Jiang Xiao’s arms, clearly having been greatly wronged during the time away from her parents.

I’ve decided; I will write a special side story about the characters inside after the story’s conclusion.

Including but not limited to the three little ones, Sun Wei, Niu Jieshi, Wang Dayong, and others.
