Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 343 - 337: Winter Break

Next day.

During the winter break, the entire base of the Mysterious Guild was celebrating, and electronic fireworks were being set off outside in broad daylight, with the sky filled with fireworks projections and realistic sound effects.

Everywhere, people were saying goodbye while piloting their small flying ships.

"I’m off! See you after the holiday~"

"See you after the holiday~"

"Remember to call home once you’re back tonight!"

"I know! You’re such a nag!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Hey! Remember to bring me some specialties from the border town, if you don’t, I’ll directly call Auntie to send some!"

"Fine! I won’t miss yours, are you a pig or what!"

At the guild’s base entrance, there were even family members coming to pick people up.

It got lively and noisy early in the morning.

Josh didn’t tell others she was staying at the base, otherwise they’d think she’s pitiful and insist on taking her home for the holiday.

She needed the spiritual energy from Burn City.

So, she still pretended to go downstairs and pack her things.

Rob and Yushi had already packed and were play-fighting in the dining area on the first floor.

Josh walked down and saw Yuze.

The space around him was empty, without any luggage.

Josh asked in surprise, "Captain, aren’t you going home?"

She felt a sudden, indescribable expectation in her heart.

Before Yuze could speak, Rob chimed in: "Of course he’s going, otherwise the Duchess and the Admiral would send troops to fetch him."

Yushi nodded, adding, "He doesn’t need luggage, his house has everything!"

Josh nodded, understanding.

Yuze glanced at them with amusement: "You guys talk too much."

He turned to Josh, "Are you going home for the holiday?"

Josh nodded quickly, "Yes, of course, where else would I spend the holiday?"

Yuze was about to say something when Rob interrupted again, "Josh! Call me when you’re home, if anyone bullies you, I’ll bring Yushi and Jiang Can with the ship to fight them!"

Josh chuckled and asked curiously, "Are you two spending the holiday together?"

Rob grinned and nodded, "Yeah, I, Yushi, and Jiang Can are all orphans without homes, so Coach Ma Qi takes us home for the holiday every year."

Josh nodded understandingly, "That’s nice. Be careful on the road."

Yushi nodded seriously, "You too, be careful!"

Yuze didn’t like the scene, waved at them, "I’m leaving, you guys enjoy."

They all nodded.

Yuze’s deep gaze swept over them, finally landing on Josh, suddenly asking, "Want to come home with me for the holiday?"

"Hmm??" Yushi and Rob’s eyes lit up instantly, staring over at them.

Even Ma Qi and Joyce, who were having breakfast in the dining area, perked up their ears.

Yuze, usually thick-skinned, suddenly felt awkward today, cleared his throat, "Well, my mom likes you very much, she asked me to ask."

Josh smiled and waved her hand, "No need, see you after the holiday."

Yuze looked at her; she was wearing a fluffy hoodie and a small skirt today, with her hair soft and loose, like a fluffy little animal.

Her little paws waved in front of her chest, as cute as a little child.

If she encountered someone as creepy as Turbo, who would just carry her away, his little An might not be able to return after the holiday.

He suddenly felt a bit uneasy and said, "You still can’t pilot a ship, right? Should I take you back to Granel City?"

"No need!" Josh refused without thinking, reacting too strongly, making everyone look her way.

She awkwardly laughed, "Really no need, it’s just that your Mighty General is too ostentatious, piloting it to Granel City would attract the whole city’s attention, I don’t want to be so high-profile. Besides, I can get back myself, I’m not a kid, what’s this? Taking a school bus home after kindergarten? How childish!"

Yuze couldn’t help but laugh, "You do seem like someone who needs a school bus to get around."

Josh’s mouth twitched slightly, and she pretended to be impatiently pushing him out, "Just go! Stop bothering me, you’re so indecisive!"

Yuze glanced back at the little figure behind him with a laugh.

Her strength was as small as a kitten pressing against him, scratching at his heart.

He cleared his throat, "Alright then, I’m leaving."

The Mighty General was parked right at the entrance of No.1 Mansion.

He looked at Josh, "Text me when you get home."

Josh nodded, "Okay."

So obedient.

The little glutinous rice ball he raised himself, fair, tender, full of vitality, staring at people with bright eyes, was utterly adorable.

Much better than when she first arrived, undernourished and sallow.

Yuze’s heart softened, he patted her head, his eyes falling into her clear, glass-like eyes, "Anything you want to eat? I’ll bring it after the holiday."

Josh thought seriously, "Nothing."

Yuze shook his head with a smile, "Got it."

He’d bring a little of everything.

The Mighty General quickly disappeared above the mansion with Yuze.

The electronic fireworks outside continued to bloom, the entire sky dominated by colorful fireworks.

Josh stood at the entrance, seeing off everyone from No.1 Mansion before returning to her room.

The lively venue instantly became desolate.

Josh took a deep breath, turned back into her room.

The farewell sounds outside dwindled, and the startup sound of ships faded away.

The entire base quieted down.

Josh looked around at the empty room in a bit of a daze, touching the spot over her chest.

She initially intended to stay in Burn City to train, now her wish was fulfilled, there should be no time to be happy, yet her chest felt stuffy, like a stone weighing it down.

Josh attributed it all to unfamiliarity.

She took a deep breath, picked up clean sleepwear and went into the bathroom, took a good shower, washed her hair, and changed into sleepwear smelling like sunshine.

After doing all this, she sat cross-legged by the balcony, yet couldn’t calm her mind to train.

"What’s going on?"

Josh puffed up her cheeks, held her breath staring at her hands, then went down to the kitchen to find something to eat.

The refrigerator and kitchen were empty.

She stood silent for a moment, turned around and went upstairs, back to her room.

It’s the New Year, and her sect wasn’t around, what’s there to celebrate?

Josh leaned on the balcony railing, dazing at the sky outside.

During past New Year’s with the sect, it was so lively.

Her master and senior sisters loved buying her new clothes, braiding her hair, and dressing her up beautifully.

Her senior brother loved taking her to the back mountain to catch spirit pigs, they’d take one down every year.

Those pigs on the back mountain were the hardest to catch!

Every time she ended up a mess, her pretty clothes and braids covered in mud.

But it didn’t matter, since her senior brother always got scolded.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten with the whole sect.

The entire sect had a banquet for lunch, while in the evening, outer sect disciples held a bonfire party, and inner sect disciples dined with the master on each peak.

This was Josh’s favorite part, as it came with New Year’s money!

Seniors would perform, calling it the "Cultivation World’s Premium New Year’s Gala", the only audience being the master and her.

It would carry on until late at night before quieting down.

Josh blankly looked at the darkened sky, no reason left to stay.

The sect was her home, she had to go home.

The Federation World was her origin, but not her home, she had no sense of belonging here...

See, during such holidays, everyone has somewhere to go, and no one could take her in.

That home wasn’t hers, it belonged to Susanna.

Josh sighed quietly, she chose to stay in Burn City secretly, why be melodramatic...

She stared at the stars, thinking so.

"Josh? Why haven’t you gone home?" Yuze’s voice suddenly rang out.

Josh straightened her back suddenly, was she hearing things?

A Mighty General descended from the sky, hovering in front of her balcony.

Yuze’s familiar handsome face poked out of the car window, his dark eyes fixed on her.
