Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 439 - 210: The Arrival of Jing University’s Campus Competition!_2
"What a strange feeling. Why does this mansion feel so familiar?" Ji Yue murmured, frowning slightly as they passed a large house with a damaged, illegible doorplate.
Her expression was somewhat unusual. It felt as if something within the mansion was drawing her in, compelling her to approach.
Su Yan, seeing this, didn’t stop her. He silently followed, curious to see what might happen after she entered.
Soon, Ji Yue drifted to the mansion’s entrance and stopped. She pushed open the large gates with a practiced motion.
It wasn’t merely practiced; it felt more like a habit, as if she had visited this mansion countless times and pushed open its gates just as often.
Witnessing this, Su Yan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Things are getting interesting, he thought.
The Female Water Ghost before him seemed to have an unknown connection to this mansion.
Under Su Yan’s watchful gaze, Ji Yue went ahead and entered the mansion.
The mansion’s interior was expansive, featuring a pavilion and a garden. At first glance, it was clearly the grand courtyard of a wealthy family.
Such a familiar feeling, Ji Yue thought as she surveyed the mansion’s surroundings. An inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over her, along with a touch of security.
She felt herself relax the moment she entered this mansion.
This feeling... how to describe it? It was just like coming home—unrestrained and free.
"Is this my home?" The thought surfaced in Ji Yue’s mind, and she voiced it softly.
Su Yan heard her soft whisper, and a ripple went through his heart.
This Female Water Ghost is saying this mansion is her home... Does that mean she was an ancient from a past life?
At this, a bold idea struck Su Yan. Could it be... that all the Yin entities in this river are the transformed spirits of beings from this ancient-style town, formed after their deaths?
This wasn’t mere speculation; there was some basis for it.
Su Yan clearly remembered encountering several Enchanting Female Ghosts when he first came to this river.
One of them wore a blood-red wedding gown and had a very wanton appearance.
Thinking back now, isn’t that exactly the appearance of a woman from a brothel?
And coincidentally, there was indeed a Brothel in the very ancient-style town where he currently was.
This situation couldn’t be dismissed as mere coincidence.
"This ancient-style town is worth investigating; there might be some astounding discoveries," Su Yan murmured softly to himself.
He then turned and left the mansion, deciding to explore the remaining buildings alone at a quicker pace.
As for Ji Yue inside the mansion, he planned to regroup with her when it was time to leave later.
「An hour later.」
Su Yan finished exploring all the ancient buildings in the town on his own. Unfortunately, his exploration yielded no particular discoveries.
The entire town offered nothing of value except for the Taoist Temple they had explored first, which held the only worthwhile discovery.
Realizing he had spent enough time here and wanting to save precious time, Su Yan returned to the previous mansion to tell Ji Yue he was leaving.
After returning to the riverbed from the cave entrance, Su Yan didn’t go back to the Bamboo building.
Instead, under Ji Yue’s guidance, he eliminated some unruly Yin entities in the riverbed that frequently preyed on the Human race.
In less than half an hour, he had thoroughly cleansed the riverbed, reaping a large harvest of "chives."
"That’s all for tonight. In the coming days, keep an eye on that cave entrance for me.
"If anything unusual happens, remember to notify me immediately.
"This is my Flying Message. Find some time to buy a smartphone and add me as a friend."
With those words, Su Yan burst out of the water and left the river.
As for whether Ji Yue understood what ’Flying Message’ or a ’smartphone’ was, that was beyond his control. The instructions were given; if she failed, it would be the Female Water Ghost’s fault.
After successfully reaching the shore, Su Yan first used his HP external release to evaporate the river water from his clothes, then took out the Soul Beads he had just plundered from his System Backpack.
After some selection, he separated the Soul Beads with good Devour value and placed the rest back into the System Backpack.
Then came a wave of extravagant Devouring.
[Devouring Successful]
[HP +123 +212 +111...]
[Spirit +111 +213 +222...]
[Swimming Ability +211 +321 +213...]
Not bad, pretty standard, Su Yan thought, giving a modestly satisfactory evaluation of the upgrades from this round of Devouring.
After a brief pause to recover, Su Yan leaped into the air on the spot and flew towards the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm in Luo City.
He planned to sell the Soul Beads in his System Backpack for money, then use the money to buy some Liuwei Dihuang Fruit and Sage Fruit to Devour, aiming for maximum value utilization.
「Qin Family’s Commercial Firm.」
Upon seeing Su Yan, whom he hadn’t encountered for some time, the old man in the acquisitions area smiled and said, "Top Scholar, it’s been quite a while. What brings you back to Luo City?"
"Came back to visit family," Su Yan replied perfunctorily.
Then, without any further pleasantries, he took the Soul Beads out of his System Backpack and placed them all on the counter for the old man to make an offer.
Seeing this, a flicker of surprise crossed the old man’s face. He had never seen anyone offer so many Soul Beads for sale at once. Could this Top Scholar before me have raided a Yin entity’s lair? he wondered. Otherwise, where would he get so many Soul Beads?
