Chapter 300 - The Reincarnation Circus Finally Opens Its Doors!
Chapter 300 The Reincarnation Circus Finally Opens Its Doors!
If Su Yang was his usual self, he probably wouldn’t have made the mistake. However, he was wearing his Salted Fish Mask at this moment that caused his body to feel extremely relaxed to the point where he neither desired to do anything nor did he bother about his surroundings. He most definitely wasn’t cautious at this moment so he paid no heed.
Su Yang looked towards Qu Xiaomeng, and her face was filled with curiosity. If he were facing Chu Xia or the school bully Li Runze, then Su Yang might have to spend some time explaining. However, since he was facing the ever silly Qu Xiaomeng, he was simply like her nemesis. His (Verbal Cannon] ability, when used against Qu Xiaomeng, was like casting a buff on himself that had double the effects!
“Oh… I’ve been learning magic recently.” Su Yang casually babbled, “Where else would you have gotten that dress on you.”
Qu Xiaomeng looked at Su Yang and blinked. “That’s right… Where did he get that dress just now?’
Su Yang didn’t even notice without having to remind himself. He looked at her, and replied without waiting for another question, “It also happens to be magic.”
Qu Xiaomeng nodded her head. “Ohhh.”
She looked at Su Yang’s hand and asked curiously, “Can you change it back then?”
Su Yang’s expression didn’t even flinch. “I know how to rub away my fingers but I haven’t learned how to get them back yet. Wait until I’ve done studying and researching the matter at night and I’ll be able to get them back tomorrow.”
Qu Xiaomeng nodded her head stupidly, her eyes continued to run over Su Yang’s hand that was draped over her leg.
Seeing how the curious girl still wanted to ask more questions, Su Yang changed the topic. “Let’s go. It’s getting late. I’ll send you back.” Qu Xiaomeng was really distracted as she replied, “Oh!”
Su Yang was 1.81 meters tall while Qu Xiaomeng was a mere 1.58 meters. Qu Xiaomeng was just up to Su Yang’s shoulders when they stood together. The comparison would most definitely be labeled the most adorable difference in height if they posted it on social media.
However, that wasn’t the case when they began walking.
If Su Yang took a step, Qu Xiaomeng’s short legs had to take a step and a half.
This resulted in Qu Xiaomeng having to keep up a brisk jog while following Su Yang.
She wore clothes that were a little oversized for her and ran around Su Yang like a little kid with two flexible but short legs.
Su Yang, on the other hand, didn’t really have the heart to take care of her. The only reason he was willing to bring her along was purely because he was passing by and it wasn’t too much of a hassle.
As a salted fish with no ideals, the only thing he wanted was to go back for a good night’s rest. ‘What about the circus? Why would I want to do that myself? How tiring…!
Soon, both of them returned to the neighborhood with Su Yang leading the way.
Seeing the familiar neighborhood, Qu Xiaomeng’s heart was finally put to rest.
In order to lose weight, she had tried to diet. As a result, she ended up with a bad stomach and after Su Yang cured her affliction she went on vacation. There, she felt free and ended up being tempted by snacks that she couldn’t help gorging on. She had no choice but to exercise to lose weight again.
She had no money to go to the gym. She couldn’t go through her aerobic dance routine at home because she didn’t want to affect her neighbors. So, after some deliberation, she went out of her house for a run.
However, her clothes have always been comfortable and loose. Since there was nothing suitable for running, she bought a set of clothes online to run in the gym.
When she arrived at the gym, she realized that she didn’t consider her physical condition at all. A piece of clothing that was normal for others to wear seemed rather… different on her.
She was so ashamed and didn’t want to face the gazing eyes of strangers. So, she planned to come out in the middle of the night after watching some tv for a lap or two before going back to sleep. As a result, who knew that she would get lost while running.
Luckily, she met Su Yang…
Sending Qu Xiaomeng back downstairs, Su Yang said a few more words in a rare moment, “Teacher Qu, you know about your own body. It’s more… Uhh, distinctive.”
“I’d suggest you don’t go out running in the middle of the night dressed like this. Although you have the freedom to dress like this, it’s better to avoid some trouble if you can.”
“It doesn’t matter during the day. At night, people are rowdier and a girl should still protect herself outside.”
Being lectured by Su Yang in such a long-winded manner, Qu Xiaomeng’s ears turned red. She was so shy that her face along with her ears turned red. Every now and then, she’d feel like there was steam ‘exhaling’ hot air out of her ears.
Since childhood, Qu Xiaomeng has been subjected to a lot of dissimilar gazes. In fact, she knew that she had advantages over other girls.
She would usually pay attention to the style of clothes, and would also involuntarily want to cover up her own distinctive assets. However, a boy speaking frankly about his own private parts still made her a little shy to the point of being at a loss.
It was even more so since this boy was also her student. It was even more of a forbidden shame for her.
Fortunately, Su Yang didn’t say much, nor did he wait for her reply. After saying his piece, he walked away in a stride.
As she watched Su Yang’s back as he left, Qu Xiaomeng had a feeling that the Su Yang of tonight was a little different. It was as if there was a… ‘It seems like there’s a… leisurely transcendence separating them from worldly affairs.
It seems as if everything in the world wasn’t on his mind.
Qu Xiaomeng couldn’t help but look a little frazzled.
Qu Xiaomeng returned to her senses, only to find that all the music was silent in a dark neighborhood, with more than a dozen buildings and only two or three lights.
She shivered. It had always felt like the opening scene of a horror movie. The fear of the night drove away the nonsense she had just been thinking about, as she whispered, “Home, home. No fear, no fear.”
Then, she held onto Su Yang’s clothes on her body and ran into the building.
At the same time, Su Yang also returned to the rented house.
Although he’d usually come home to reside in the virtual space, he still had to leave occasionally especially since he hired Pan Zhaodi as his secretary. She would come rather often so he’d definitely feel more comfortable in a building than in a basement.
At home, Su Yang went to the bedroom, drew the curtains and entered the virtual space.
As he arrived, Su Yang took a look at his right hand that was currently missing two fingers, endured the pain, and used it to remove the salted fish mask on his face.
With the mask removed, Su Yang felt endless motivation, energy, and determination return to his body.
‘Makes me excited about the future!’
Su Yang looked at the time. It was 23:58 p.m. In 2 minutes, his hand would return and the circus would open. Su Yang’s eyes were full of excitement. ‘It’s the circus! I’m coming!’
Without the salty mask, the pain seemed to be more intense. Su Yang covered his hands and endured the pain, patiently waiting for time to pass.
After a moment, the number on the watch returned to zero. It was now 00:00.
Su Yang felt an itch near his fingers and when he looked down, his fingers had returned to his hand, and the pain had completely disappeared.
Su Yang held out the five fingers of his right hand and the movement felt incomparably smooth. He felt great that he was now whole again.
As he was lamenting, a soft sound rang out in his mind. [Beep. Burning Reincarnation Circus is now open. Please confirm entry.]
‘The entrance really opens on time.’
Su Yang silently pronounced, “Enter.” His mind once again rang with the system’s prompt. (Please pay the entrance fee of 500 pounds of raw meat.]
Two options appeared in front of him. (Make Payment), and (Refuse Payment).
As Su Yang arrived before the two big bags of raw meat piled on the floor, he touched one of the bags with his hand and chose [Make Payment).
In the blink of an eye, the two bags of raw meat on the floor disappeared into thin air. Even the blood on the floor disappeared without a trace.
Immediately after that, a large piece of raw meat fell from the air to the ground with a thud.
[Excess portion returned.)
It seems that Janet was afraid that his boss would be short a couple of pounds so he bought a little more. This guy is so reliable.’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, he found a burning pain suddenly emanating from his right index finger as if it was burning.
He was busy looking at his right hand, only to find that the crown tattoo on his index finger had slowly grown larger as it took on a three-dimensional shape, slowly rotating around his index finger.
After a moment, his index finger shot out a ray of light that summoned a door made of light wherever it went!
An emotionless prompt was heard in his mind as well. (Welcome to… The Reincarnation Circus).
Su Yang looked at his index finger and saw that the tattoo of the crown on his index finger had disappeared. ‘It seems like the circus has opened.”
He hesitated and was just about to ask Janet to enter with him but he heard another prompt in his mind. (This area doesn’t allow additional people to enter.]
‘Got it. Seems like I’ve got to be alone.’
Having no choice, Su Yang stepped forward to enter the circus in the end because he was gluttonous and curious about what was inside.
As soon as he entered the door made of light, Su Yang found himself in a dimensional pocket. Everything around him was dark and only a circus tent stood before him.
He slowly walked over and saw a sign at the entrance of the circus. On the sign were two large words: Reincarnation Circus. There was also the logo of a leopard’s head beside it.
Below the large words was a sentence. “Reincarnation Reversal, Burning Fate.”
Su Yang wrote down this sentence and walked into the circus.
Once he entered the circus, Su Yang found himself automatically in the first row of the VIP seats with the circus stage right in front of him.
On the small table to his right was a note.
Su Yang picked up the note and opened it. There were several options written on the note. Watch performance, View performers, Add performers, and lastly… Reverse Reincarnation.
Only the option (Reincarnation Reversal] was grayed out.
The grayer it was, the more Su Yang wanted to click on it so he clicked on [Reincarnation Reversal).
As a result, he heard a prompt in his mind. (Unavailable]
“Uhh… Can’t I use it? It doesn’t even say how I can use it.’
The most interesting option couldn’t be used so Su Yang decided to experience the three functions one after the other.
He tapped on the first option. [Watch Performance]
Suddenly, the lights in the circus dimmed and the surroundings darkened. A beam of light hit the stage of the circus, and five people appeared out of nowhere on the stage. The five people were people Su Yang was incomparably familiar with…
Zhao Xiao, the security chief, Baldy, Sea Serpent, and Monkey…
They stood in a row on the stage with their heads down, smiling fiercely at Su Yang before bowing deeply.
