Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Perplexity of Acquaintance
Seeing such a beauty, Yun Mu was reminded of his senior sister. Since childhood, he and his senior sister had been like two peas in a pod, a match made in heaven, all because of a moment's carelessness on his part for not investigating that secret realm thoroughly, leaving him unsure if his senior sister was safe now.
What made Yun Mu feel even more miserable was that after sensing his surroundings on this planet called Earth, he found it severely polluted by heavy industry and fertilizers. Plus, there was no Spiritual Energy at all. Forget about going back to see his senior sister, even becoming a Cultivator was unrealistic.
"Damn, what a trap! Why the hell did I get reborn in this godforsaken place!"
Yun Mu felt incredibly bitter, his nose twitching as he nearly burst into tears. Just then, the beauty in his arms slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Yun Mu's face, she let out a piercing scream and violently twisted her body, trying to get away from him.
"Beauty, could you please not scream right after waking up? Don't you find it noisy?" Yun Mu frowned, a bit annoyed.
Wen Jia, trembling, looked at the man in front of her, his body covered in scars. "Are you… are you a human or a ghost?"
"You guess?" Yun Mu glanced at her and said, "Use your brain, have you ever seen a ghost with steam coming off its body? Haven't you felt it sticking to me?"
Indeed, he was warm, and he felt like flesh, but after all, he had crawled out from underground. Wen Jia couldn't understand why a living person would emerge from beneath the earth.
Right, didn't I just ingest poison from those bastards? Why do I feel so energized all of a sudden, devoid of the previous weakness?
Yun Mu was very annoyed, but it seemed he couldn't convince this beauty without an explanation. But, there really wasn't any reasonable explanation, was he supposed to say he was a tomb raider? But looking at this bald mountain with barely any birds, the feng shui was horrible, where could there possibly be any tombs!
"You see, I was buried alive. I offended some enemies; they thought I was dead and buried me. But fortune favors me, and I dug myself out." Yun Mu lifted his shirt to show Wen Jia his scars, deciding that being honest was the best policy.
"Really?"
"Didn't you see?"
"I saw, it looks real!"
"Damn! Beauty, could you not act so cute? You're already cute enough."
Seeing the beauty calm down, Yun Mu noticed her hands and feet were still tied, and her scanty clothes torn by the hooligans earlier, revealing patches of her pale, gleaming skin under the moonlight, dazzling to his eyes.
As Yun Mu snapped back to reality, he took off his T-shirt.
"What are you taking your clothes off for?" Wen Jia exclaimed in shock, her beautiful eyes filled with fear again, thinking to herself, "This handsome young man, is he like those thugs, thinking of taking liberties upon seeing my beauty?"
Yun Mu was speechless and too lazy to explain further; he took off his shirt and draped it over Wen Jia, then said, "Although you are pretty, under normal circumstances, I might have actually wanted to 'taste' you. But right now, I'm really not in the mood."
After speaking, Yun Mu helped her untie her bonds.
Wen Jia was stunned for a moment, then touched by his considerate gesture. She realized he was even more miserable than she was, having been buried alive. If not for good fortune, he probably wouldn't have seen tomorrow's sun.
For a moment, Wen Jia felt pity. If she knew that Yun Mu didn't just experience being buried alive, but was also from beyond Earth, and now couldn't return home, she might have offered herself to comfort this handsome young man right away.
"Handsome guy?" Wen Jia tried to broach, then felt it unsuitable seeing as Yun Mu was obviously younger, and corrected herself, "Little brother, thank you for rescuing me just now. My name is Wen Jia. What's yours?"
"My name is Yun Mu, 'yun' as in cloud, 'mu' as in shepherd."
As Yun Mu spoke, he had already freed her from her restraints and stood up to check on the middle-aged man nearby, whose face had turned purple, indicating he was beyond saving. For such scum, in his previous life, Yun Mu would have killed as many as he encountered.
"This kind of person has done too much wrong, they have a guilty conscience, and that's why they end up scared to death." Yun Mu kicked the body disdainfully into a ditch and then stood up, "Let's go too, Sister Jiajia."
"Brother, is he really dead?" Wen Jia was somewhat panicked when she saw the man was dead.
Yun Mu snorted, "Dead is dead. Such scum, one less is a contribution to society."
"What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We need to leave this place quickly."
"But... what about his body?"
"Let the wild dogs eat it. I'm not in the mood to dig a grave for him. Let's go. If you don't want to leave, you can bury him yourself, but I'm leaving." After saying this, Yun Mu started walking down the mountain.
What a joke. In this desolate wilderness, if she really buried that bastard well, she might get scared to death herself. Wen Jia shivered at the thought. Seeing Yun Mu about to leave, she hurriedly caught up to him and clung to his arm, pressing her breasts tightly against it.
With his arm embraced by her, the sensation of her prominent chest rubbing against him distracted Yun Mu greatly, and he turned his head to see the beautiful woman in the moonlight, looking exceptionally gorgeous.
Yun Mu was not insensitive, but he really wasn't in the mood to flirt with the beauty in front of him.
Wen Jia, whether intentionally or because she was still scared, trembled, and her breasts continuously heaved and brushed against Yun Mu's arm. Now, Yun Mu's T-shirt was on her, and with her bare arms, this sensation was exceptionally intense.
At this moment, Yun Mu wasn't the only one feeling disturbed. Wen Jia sneakily looked up at him from time to time, seeing a handsome young man with a well-proportioned body; despite being older than Yun Mu and having never been in love nor understanding love, her heart pounded uncontrollably.
The two were very close; Yun Mu naturally felt every shift in Wen Jia.
He thought to himself, could this sister have fallen for him because he looked handsome and had coincidentally saved her today, making her think he was some kind of hero?
"Sister, are you from Ji'an City?" Wen Jia broke the calm between them.
"No, I'm from Beijing."
Hearing Yun Mu was from Beijing, Wen Jia quickly asked, "Then Brother, do you have a place to stay in Ji'an City? Are you going back to Beijing, or will you stay in Ji'an City?"
"Thanks for your concern, Sister Jiajia. I do have a place in Ji'an City. And I'll return to Beijing, but not now. I'm planning to find a stable job in Ji'an City and settle down."
"Okay, Yun Mu Brother, you saved me today, from now on I'll treat you as my own brother. If you have any troubles in Ji'an City, come to me, and I will definitely help you."
Seeing Wen Jia clinging to him, adorable and charming, Yun Mu felt moved. Now that he had arrived in this unfamiliar place with no close relations, having a sister seemed like a very good thing.
Yun Mu's gaze softened as he sincerely said, "Thank you, Sister Jiajia."
"Silly brother, I've already told you, from now on you're my dear brother, it's only right for your sister to treat you well," Wen Jia's beautiful eyes sparkled, looking exceptionally beautiful.
The two descended from Bald Mountain, which was just a barren hill in the city, and after getting down the hill and with it almost four in the morning, Yun Mu and Wen Jia managed to catch a ride home.
Once in the car, Yun Mu asked Wen Jia, "Sister Jiajia, where do you live? Let's have the driver take you home first."
"Sister lives in Guihe Garden."
Yun Mu was slightly shocked. What a coincidence, the villa of his so-called wife was also in Guihe Garden.
