Acheron: How Did You End Up in My World? [First Update]

How did you get into my room?

Yomikawa asked Ji Yuan.

"Huh? Your room? Isn't this my room?"

Upon hearing Yomikawa's words, Ji Yuan felt a moment of confusion.

Is Penacony's hotel actually a shady establishment, engaging in the absurd practice of selling the same room to two different people?

But don't you know I'm from the Celestial Ark Alliance? I hold grudges, and I'm determined to get my revenge.

Yomikawa, who was opposite Ji Yuan, also showed the same expression, looked to the side, and then quickly walked to the door of the room to check the room number.

"... I think I went to the wrong room. No wonder I couldn't get in when I swiped my room card earlier. I thought the door was broken, so I tried to push it open with some force."

Yomikawa remained calm and spoke to Ji Yuan without changing his expression.

However, Ji Yuan could vaguely sense an awkwardness emanating from her silent calm.

"This..." Ji Yuan looked at Yomikawa speechlessly.

The hotel room number and such are quite clear, right? It's truly remarkable that you could still go to the wrong room. It's fortunate that Yomikawa went to his own room; if he had gone to a bad guy's room and entered the dream...

The entire hotel is now in danger.

Even if the ethereal Emanator is in a dream state, if it dares to treat her with malice, she will definitely be able to react.

Yomikawa looked at Ji Yuan with a calm gaze, his eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry, as if he had something to ask.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately said to her, "But this is good too. Didn't you say you wanted to meet again in Penacony? Now it's perfect, we've met again."

"Yes, that's right."

Yomikawa nodded.

Then she lowered her head to think for a moment, and after organizing her thoughts, she said, "So, would you like to go out for a drink with me? Our last meeting was too rushed, and I still have a lot of things I want to ask you."

"That's great, of course."

Ji Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Yomikawa walked outside, with Ji Yuan following behind her. However, after leaving the room, Yomikawa first looked to the left, a thoughtful expression on her face. Then she looked to the right, her eyes still showing a thoughtful expression.

I looked at it several times, from left to right.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to speak, Yomikawa stepped back behind him.

"I don't know the way to the lobby, can you show me?"

Ji Yuan: "..."

No way, you can get lost in a hotel corridor? You're such a terrible navigator!

Ji Yuan thought to himself,

But on the surface, he said softly to Yomikawa, "Okay, then follow me and don't get lost."

"Um."

Yomikawa nodded, then kept his eyes fixed on Ji Yuan, following Ji Yuan's every move step by step.

No matter how Ji Yuan walked, Yomikawa followed less than half a step behind him, their steps perfectly synchronized. His gaze never left Ji Yuan, as if he feared he might suddenly disappear around a corner.

The originally dashing and handsome female swordsman now even exuded a hint of wifely charm.

The two walked back to the main hall.

They first went to the front desk, partly to find Yomikawa's room, and partly to get themselves a new room.

The door lock was broken; Yomikawa dared to enter his dream room there, but Ji Yuan didn't have that kind of guts. For safety's sake, he still needed to go and find a room with a secure lock.

The hotel receptionist was still Miss Ellie, and when she saw Ji Yuan, her face looked like she was about to cry.

It's you again!

Also, how come there's another young girl next to you?

"Um, Mr. Ji, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ji Yuan said to her, "This young lady broke the lock on my room. Could you please help me find another room? Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for any damage caused to those rooms."

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Ellie's eyes widened, as if she were listening to a fantasy.

"Could you repeat that? The room door lock was broken? But we've implemented multiple security measures for the room's safety. How could this young lady still break the door lock under these circumstances?"

Ji Yuan explained for Yomikawa: "Perhaps she has superhuman strength."

"This..."

Ellie didn't know what to say, so she arranged for hotel staff to check Ji Yuan's room. While waiting, Yomikawa also found out his room number from Ellie.

At this moment, Ellie also confirmed that the lock on Ji Yuan's room door had been broken.

Shocked, they also planned to go and process the procedures for changing Ji Yuan's room.

However, when it came time to check in, her expression suddenly became somewhat troubled.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Yuan asked her.

Ellie said somewhat nervously, "The rooms are full. The available rooms are all unfinished and cannot be checked in. It will take at least twenty-four system hours to finish preparing them for check-in, this..."

Many rooms in the hotel require a series of tasks such as changing the water in the Dream Pool after the previous guest leaves. Penacony has such a large flow of people that the empty rooms have not yet been cleaned, so Ji Yuan cannot change rooms.

"This..."

Ji Yuan is now at a loss as to what to do.

Are we supposed to just wait in the lobby forever?

Just as Ji Yuan and Ellie were at a loss for what to do, Yomikawa spoke up.

"Can only one person sleep in the Dream Pool in the room?"

"There's no rule about that..." Ellie said instinctively. Then she instantly realized what she meant, looked at Yomikawa, and stammered, "You, you mean..."

Yomikawa looked at Ji Yuan and said, "You can go to my room until the new room is ready."

Ji Yuan stared at her with wide eyes.

He looked closely into Yomikawa's eyes and saw that they were clear and devoid of any other emotions, as if she were talking about something very ordinary.

Ji Yuan thought about her identity as the Emanator of Nihility and understood somewhat.

"That would be good."

Ji Yuan would certainly not object to this.

Ellie, the hotel receptionist, was completely dumbfounded.

In the end, all she could say to Ji Yuan was this:

"Um, I'm really sorry, we'll let you know as soon as we've cleaned the room."

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded, then prepared to go have a drink with Yomikawa.

However, Yomikawa was not in a hurry to leave. She looked at Ellie and said, "You, tell him the room number again."

Upon hearing her words, Ji Yuan and Ellie suddenly understood.

This young lady doesn't seem to know how to get to her room, does she? So she called Ji Yuan along to have him lead the way?

After hearing Ellie tell Ji Yuan the room number, Yomikawa took his arm and walked towards the bartender.

It was the same bartender who treated us to dinner before.

He was happy to see Ji Yuan, but when he saw Yomikawa beside him, his face instantly turned sour.

"Weren't you with that gray-haired lady? Who is she?"

He's a staunch advocate of pure love and can't stand scumbags.

Upon hearing "Miss Gray Hair," Yomikawa couldn't help but glance at Ji Yuan.

She vividly remembered the exchange of glances between Ji Yuan and the girl piloting the mecha during their last meeting—it clearly felt like the interaction between lovers. Now, the bartender was saying that the gray-haired girl suggested the young man before her wasn't so honest in some ways.

She wanted to learn more about Ji Yuan in order to find out why he knew her name.

"It's like this..."

Ji Yuan immediately explained to the bartender about the vandalism of his room, fearing that if he didn't explain clearly, the bartender would see through his true nature as a scumbag. Then, he spat into his drink.

After hearing Ji Yuan's explanation, the bartender didn't look at Ji Yuan with the same look he had for a scumbag. Instead, he looked at Yomikawa with astonishment.

"What strength this heroine possesses!"

With the misunderstanding cleared up, the bartender immediately offered to treat Ji Yuan and Yomikawa to drinks, and also agreed that this time Ji Yuan should not be allowed to secretly give them money again.

So Ji Yuan ordered a glass of juice, while Yomikawa took a drink called 'Dream's Awakening'.

The two men took their drinks and went to an empty booth next to the lobby.

Chapter 263 Yomikawa: How Did You Get into My World? [First Update]

"Compared to the world of dreams, the real-life Penacony tastes a bit worse."

After taking a sip of the wine in his cup, Yomikawa said to Ji Yuan.

"After all, that's the real Penacony. This is just an outpost to get to Penacony. There are many things there that are just dreams, but you can't have them in reality." Ji Yuan finished his drink in one gulp.

"However, I still prefer reality to fantasy."

It feels clean and refreshing, quite pleasant.

Although the world in his dream was wonderful, it still felt somewhat lacking to him.

It's better to have something that belongs to you.

"Maybe."

Yomikawa echoed Ji Yuan's words.

She took another sip of her drink, then looked at Ji Yuan and spoke.

"Could you tell me about your past? I don't have much Remembrance left, so I want to see your past."

Yomikawa's eyes simultaneously revealed two completely opposite expressions: indifference and curiosity.

Ji Yuan organized his thoughts and began, "My past? Well, I came from the Yaoging Star-skiff. My parents were soldiers in the Cloud Knights. Then, when I was not yet twenty years old, the Yaoging Star-skiff attacked the Buli Ren, but fell into their Buli Ren. In the end, thanks to my parents' self-destruction, the Yaoging Star-skiff turned defeat into victory..."

He started telling the story from his childhood.

She grew up on the Yaoging Star-skiff, and after her biological parents died, she was raised by Sushang's parents. From a young age, she was an outstanding student. Then, a little over a year ago, she went to the Luofu Starfaring Vessel and became a maritime Trade Official in the Sky-Faring Commission.

After that,

Learn from Yanqing, embark on a distant expedition against Buli, scheme against Phantylia, become a disciple of Ruan Mei, defeat Phantylia, seek a disciple from Jingliu, and slay Zephyro...

He spoke of his master, and also of the three Lord of Destruction and the Emanator of Abundance who had been defeated by him. The only thing he didn't say much about was his love life.

Yomikawa listened silently to the side, then drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"What an amazing adventure."

Even she admired Ji Yuan's experiences.

Ji Yuan's experiences were even more legendary than hers, and his talent was astonishing. Yomikawa even had a thought that if Ji Yuan were in her shoes, she wouldn't be able to do what Ji Yuan did.

On the contrary, if Ji Yuan were on her side, Yomikawa even felt that he could go further and be more able to maintain his own identity.

But what puzzled Yomikawa was that Ji Yuan's experiences were all too clear, and there was absolutely no chance for them to get to know each other.

How exactly did he see me?

"I still don't know when you saw me?"

Yomikawa finally voiced his doubts.

"I don't know, maybe it's in a dream, or maybe it's in the future."

Ji Yuan spread his hands and said.
