The man and the cat stared wide-eyed, listening in terror to the voice coming from the heart.
"Xu Ye, how... how did this heart come alive? I always thought it was some kind of Taboo Object someone had transplanted into you."
"Why don't we find a chance to take it out? Artificial heart technology is really advanced now. Have Yang Chang get you a mechanical heart from Twin Star Corporation. This thing is too dangerous."
Suddenly, a somewhat booming, steady voice rang out in both their minds. "Ignorant feline, do you know who I am?"
Alice sucked in a breath.
Xu Ye steadied himself and asked, "May I ask who you are, esteemed senior, and why you're inside my body?"
He could sense that the other party wasn't inhabiting his heart, but existed as the heart itself.

Fortunately, he had experienced plenty since transmigrating. Even if the heart sprouted hands and feet, Xu Ye wouldn't have found it strange.
"...Ahem..." The heart gave a dry cough. "I am a supreme being who once stood atop the world, with all living beings prostrate at my feet. Then villains ambushed me, my kin betrayed me, and I fell here. Fortunately, I obtained a body in which to recuperate and replenish my blood vitality and energy."
"Young one, so long as you supply me with energy, once I recover, I shall impart supreme arts to you and help you reign over the nine heavens."
"Can you speak like a normal person?" Xu Ye sneered, taking out a dagger and placing it over his heart.
This plot was all too familiar.
Wasn't it straight out of the reborn immortal emperor novel he had written out of boredom in his previous life?
"Ahem." The heart sounded sheepish. "Uh, I just lost my memory.
