Chapter 93 Accompanying Practice
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
The initial form of the Hun Yi resembled a jellyfish, about the size of a soybean, with a semi-transparent body. Underneath its round mushroom head, it had four tentacles that would sometimes bounce up and down, sometimes spiral left and right, and sometimes entwine together into a fish tail, swaying leisurely. It seemed to be familiarizing itself with the world in its own way, exploring everything around it freely.
An Bu would put her fingers into the water, and it would immediately come over, wrapping her fingers with its two tentacles and curiously rubbing against them. When An Bu lifted it out of the water, it showed no fear, quietly lying on her finger. After a few tens of seconds, its body would deflate like a leak, becoming thin and sticking to the skin, barely noticeable to the touch. When placed back into the water, its body would quickly swell up again, leisurely roaming around.
According to the Book of Life and Death, the Hun Yi could survive in various environments and had extremely strong vitality. As long as it was properly cared for, An Bu believed it could become a powerful species that could adapt anywhere.
However, what surprised her even more was that shortly after An Bu put the Hun Yi back into the water, her death value suddenly decreased by 1 point, and it was a point of undead death aura value! Although it was only 1 point, it greatly surprised An Bu. This meant that there was another way to reduce the death value, besides obtaining destiny points through saving people; certain special creatures might also possess the ability to influence life and death.
This discovery was enough to make An Bu risk her life hundreds of times in various ways. So when Jian Ningxuan woke up, she found An Bu squatting in front of the fish tank, “worshipping” the future god of the Hun Yi, and gave it a name that would never go out of style.
“Is this a jellyfish?” Jian Ningxuan asked uncertainly.
“Just consider it a jellyfish, anyway, it’s your son, so the species doesn’t matter,” An Bu said with a smile.
Jian Ningxuan stared at his son playing happily in the fish tank, feeling no emotion. If An Bu liked raising it, let her raise it. It was just a jellyfish that lacked presence and couldn’t reach the sky. (Jianjian: Hehe, I’ll just smile and remain silent.)
The two of them then spent three days without any “shame” in Cat House No. 1, until An Bu noticed signs of her brain degenerating. They then packed their bags and returned to Country Z together.
The first thing after returning was to get a bright fish tank for Jian Jian. After a few days of testing, An Bu found that the Hun Yi could only absorb 1-3 points of death energy each day and had to make physical contact for absorption. So, An Bu added a new daily routine – spending 30 minutes playing with Jian Jian.
Jian Ningxuan also gained a new activity, watching An Bu and Jian Jian play in various ways every day. He wondered when their “son” would be exhausted from An Bu’s play. However, it turned out that not only was their “son” not worn out, but he seemed more energetic. Jian Ningxuan couldn’t figure out the species of this “jellyfish,” but it seemed easy to raise.
“Mr. Jian, come and communicate with your ‘son’.” An Bu lifted Jian Jian onto her finger and gestured towards Jian Ningxuan.
Jian Ningxuan, feeling a bit disdainful, put on a disposable glove and gently poked Jian Jian. In an instant, Jian Jian’s body expanded, then contracted, and quickly raised its tendrils, arching its back, resembling an ant. It swiftly moved from An Bu’s finger to her shoulder, hiding in her collar.
Jian Ningxuan: “…” This is definitely not a jellyfish!
“Weird, it seems like it doesn’t like Mr. Jian?” An Bu muttered, quickly realizing. Jian Ningxuan’s constitution was pure Yang, while the Hun Yi belonged to Yin. Since it approached An Bu, who was a walking corpse, it naturally wouldn’t approach the vigorously Yang Jian Ningxuan, especially when he had a high-temperature constitution capable of hatching eggs.
With the cat master increasing life force and An Jian Jian absorbing death energy, life couldn’t be more fulfilling.
An Bu recorded the experiences of this period, observing Jian Jian’s growth changes every day. However, this was just a leisurely task; she still had to look for a job. Working was a way for An Bu to integrate into society and maintain vitality. Staying at home for too long could lead to losing enthusiasm for life and social skills.
After returning from the vacation in Country R, Jian Ningxuan relaxed his protection of An Bu. As long as she was safe, he didn’t object to her going out to work.
Wearing headphones and learning English words, An Bu browsed part-time job information, mostly related to tutoring, guiding, chauffeuring, housekeeping, translation, training, dispatching, waitressing, courier, delivery, doll acting, etc. An Bu wanted a part-time job with more physical activity and near her home. Guiding, courier, and delivery seemed fine, but they were too ordinary, lacking challenges. At that moment, a special recruitment caught her eye.
“Hiring a training partner?”
【Job Responsibilities: Accompany the employer for a week of physical training, training times are 6-8 AM, 2-4 PM, and 8-9 PM.
Requirements: Aged 18-25, healthy, physically fit, with over a year of fitness experience, enduring and tough, strong ability to withstand scolding, no bad habits.
Number of positions: 3.
Salary: ¥200/hour.】
¥200 per hour, 5 hours of training a day, which is ¥1000. Moreover, they were recruiting three people at once, making it a high-paying part-time job. However, what did “enduring and tough” and “strong ability to withstand scolding” mean?
An Bu checked the job location, just two streets away from her neighborhood. Today was the last day of recruitment, and training would start tomorrow.
Seeing a job recruiting a physical training partner for the first time, An Bu was very interested and decided to check it out.
Notifying Jian Ningxuan, An Bu changed into sportswear, slung on her waist bag, and left lightly.
Jogging all the way, she arrived at a 32-story commercial building. The recruitment location was on the top floor. Upon entering the building, An Bu was about to take the elevator when she saw a sign next to it, saying, “Training partners, please take the stairs.”
An Bu: “…” Climbing 32 floors? Impressive.
“D*mn? Don’t let us take the elevator; instead, we have to climb 32 floors. Are they messing with us?” A surprised voice came from behind An Bu.
Turning around, she found three guys who appeared out of nowhere. They were around twenty years old, over 180 cm tall, and seemed to be sports students.
“Old Tiger, stop whining. They’re recruiting physical training partners, so, of course, they need to test your physical fitness.” The handsome guy who spoke glanced at his companion disdainfully and, catching sight of An Bu, paid no attention, considering her just a passing beauty without realizing she was also there to apply.
“Alright, let’s go upstairs.” The shortest of the three, with messy hair, called out expressionlessly and walked towards the stairs.
The other two, while complaining, followed suit.
An Bu also entered the staircase. Just as she was about to go upstairs, four or five young people burst out from behind her, swiftly passing by her and racing each other up the stairs. The sound of their footsteps gradually faded away, and in just a moment, it couldn’t be heard anymore.
It seems that the competition for this job is quite intense, with eight or nine competitors appearing in just a short while.
An Bu stepped up her pace and began climbing the stairs at a steady pace.
When she reached the fourth floor, two more people caught up and passed by An Bu, giving her a strange look as they passed.
An Bu paid no attention, continuing to climb up the stairs one floor at a time, following her established rhythm.
Fifteen minutes later, An Bu reached the 32nd floor. Entering the corridor, the first thing she saw was a frosted glass door. Through it, she could see a spacious hall with about twenty young men, most of them sweating profusely and panting.
In a position close to the floor-to-ceiling window, there was a set of luxurious leather sofas. Sitting on the sofa was a 15 or 16-year-old boy, slim in stature, with a mocking gaze, looking sternly at the people in the hall. Behind him were two bodyguards and a female assistant.
An Bu pushed open the door, attracting the attention of everyone.
“Miss, did you go to the wrong place?” The female assistant was surprised for a moment, then spoke, “Floors 26 and above are not within the company’s business scope.”
She thought An Bu was an employee of this company.
An Bu replied, “I’m here for the job.”
Swish, swish, swish – dozens of eyes fell on her simultaneously.
The hall was filled with tall and strong guys. An Bu, with her slender figure, standing in the middle, looked like a rabbit mixed in a group of gorillas, making her seem pitiful.
The boy sitting on the sofa was initially somewhat indifferent, but upon seeing An Bu’s unexpected arrival, he suddenly became more alert.
“Are you here for the job too?” the female assistant exclaimed. “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”
An Bu remained calm. “Aren’t you recruiting training partners? I have ten years of fitness experience. Running, dumbbells, barbells, parallel bars, pull-up bars, resistance bands, swimming, boxing – I can handle them all.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s faces showed an expression of “you must be kidding me.”
An Bu’s body completely lacked the muscular feel of someone who had been working out for ten years. Even saying she had practiced yoga for ten years would be a stretch.
It’s not An Bu’s fault that she doesn’t have muscles. Every day, she struggles to maintain muscle vitality. If she doesn’t move for a few hours, her muscles become stiff. However, her endurance and stamina are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Saying she’s been working out for ten years is already modest.
Most people in the room didn’t believe her words. A guy couldn’t help but laugh, “Little sister, I’m not as capable as you. I’ve only been working out for five years, but I’m sure I can overpower you with just one hand.”
“Hahaha…” Laughter filled the surroundings, conveying ambiguous meanings.
An Bu remained indifferent: You guys really don’t know the strength of an old corpse. Just give her a bunch of spinach, and she can make you kneel and call her grandmother.
The boy on the sofa and his bodyguards showed no change in expression. They had just witnessed clearly that when An Bu entered, her face didn’t turn red, her heart didn’t race, and she didn’t pant. Climbing 32 floors seemed to be no pressure for her. Just based on this, they already regarded her differently.
The boy looked at An Bu with interest, as if finally finding some fun in his dull life.
“The recruitment requirements have no gender restrictions. Since you’re here, let’s treat everyone equally.” The guy stood up, sweeping the crowd with arrogant eyes. “Alright, let’s get ready to start the test.”
