You Have a New Job (Continued)

"Of course, I already told you, sister, there's no need to be so nervous. Crimson Kite will be fine."

A-Lin sat up, scratched his head, and smiled innocently.

Wuhu!

Ji Lin happily pounced over, hugged him, and rubbed against A-Lin's chest.

"Yay! That's awesome!"

"Sister, you're hugging me a little too tightly. I'm not used to it yet, and I can't breathe."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I got too excited."

"I know, thank you for caring about me so much."

A-Lin smiled sweetly.

She stretched out her hands and clasped them together; a vibrant life force flowed through them—it was the long-lost feeling of being alive.

"Dr. Jackal is indeed highly skilled. This ability is practically indistinguishable from magic, isn't it?"

"That's right!"

Ji Lin puffed out his chest with pride.

Cang Xiaoxuan circled around A-Lin a few times, rolling her eyes as she said:

"What does this have to do with you? What are you so proud of? Besides Jackal, the person you should thank is Little Anqi."

"Ah?"

"Jackal said that Xiao Anqi's condition for making an exception for her was that she had to seriously help A-Lin."

"Ah, this..."

Ji Lin scratched his head.

It must have been Jackal's impromptu act; he was quite bold, managing to eat multiple fish at once.

But it's alright, since Anqi can't show herself, it's not a bad thing to subtly improve her favorability. Although, I feel like we really don't need to do that anymore.

Ji Lin bent down and picked up the lifeless Fu Hua.

"Then A-Lin, you should rest for a bit. I'll take Crimson Kite's body inside."

"Don't do anything strange."

Suddenly, A-Lin spoke in Fu Hua's voice and tone.

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, then said blankly:

"What's strange?"

"... Never mind what I said."

Fu Hua once again reflected on her own muddled thoughts, realizing that she had almost tainted Ji Lin's purity!

Ji Lin blinked in confusion, muttered a few words, and then skipped away, carrying Fu Hua's physical body with him.

"A-Lin's condition is better than expected. Apart from being weak, she is not fundamentally damaged. She is like a complete soul. However, she still needs time to recuperate and make up for the gap between herself and her body. It is estimated that she will have to maintain this condition for a while."

Fu Hua explained the current situation to Cang Xiaoxuan.

Cang Xiaoxuan listened attentively, then suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"You just said that A-Lin is actually very complete? Like a normal Divine Body?"

"Yes."

"What happened to Ji Lin?"

If it were a case of one body divided into two, then even if A-Lin's situation wasn't completely incomplete, it would at least have some defects.

However, A-Lin is whole; he is a complete human soul.

That means there is no such thing as one entity being divided into two.

Then, what is Ji Lin?

"Well, the Honkai world is full of wonders. Maybe it's just an exception, something we don't yet understand."

Fu Hua tried to explain haltingly, but everyone could tell that she hadn't really convinced herself at all.

"Huh? What are you guys talking about? The atmosphere's a bit strange."

Ji Lin peeked out from the doorway, looking at them with a cute and endearing expression.

Fu Hua, Cang Xiaoxuan, and A-Lin: "..."

After a moment of silence, they both laughed.

It doesn't really matter what it is, Ji Lin and A-Lin are both part of Great Void Mountain, that's enough.
