"It seems like the order has been messed up, which is a bit troublesome!" Bai Yujing bit the tip of his pen, feeling a bit of a headache.
The content on Hydrology and Water Script was translated word by word by the Exotic Creature Hunter translation system. However, since it was a literal translation, if the order of the sentences was further disrupted, the original meaning could become even more confusing. But after thinking for a while, Bai Yujing still had no clue. By this time, it was already late at night. Bai Yujing put on his slippers and walked out of his room, planning to find something to drink from the refrigerator.
As Bai Yujing walked into the living room, he noticed that the bathroom light was on. It was already late at night. "Li Hao, is that you?"
"Li Hao?"
After calling out twice without receiving a response, Bai Yujing immediately felt something was off. He opened the bathroom door and saw Li Hao submerged in the bathtub, shivering all over, with cold air escaping from his mouth.
"What the hell, Li Hao, what's going on with you!"
Bai Yujing immediately wanted to lift Li Hao out of the bathtub, but Li Hao stopped him weakly saying, "No, don't!"
Li Hao lay there in the bathtub, his head completely submerged, yet he continued to breathe steadily. Gradually, a layer of mucus began to ooze from his body as if he were starting to melt. Bai Yujing watched as his body became increasingly transparent; his skin turned light blue, revealing internal blood vessels, muscles, and organs.
This scene was extremely unsettling. Bai Yujing understood that this must be due to Li Hao having consumed Fishman Blood. He waited until dawn to see this condition gradually recede.
Li Hao climbed out of the water, his complexion noticeably paler. His skin could only be described with one term: flawless. Li Hao cradled his face and rested for a few minutes while Bai Yujing tossed a towel over him and placed a set of pajamas beside him.
"What happened to you? Didn't they say there would be no adverse reactions?" Bai Yujing asked.
Li Hao shook his head and struggled to stand up. "This has happened several times already; it should be over soon. My dad has a private medical team. I injected the Serum extracted from Mermaid's Blood into my spinal cord. The Serum will gradually replace all my cells and repair any hidden issues in my body. What just happened is just a temporary occurrence."
Bai Yujing nodded. "It's best if you can handle it yourself; don't let anything go wrong!"
"Don't worry; I've resolved all the issues with my body. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come out so easily with you. Once the transformation is complete, I can say I'm practically a superhero!" Li Hao said proudly.
Bai Yujing remarked, "Is it really that amazing? I'm starting to regret not doing it myself back then!"
"Don't, the Serum has a rejection possibility of over ninety-eight percent for ordinary people. If you inject it, it's definitely a dead end. This thing is purely based on luck; only someone with my European royal bloodline can use it. Someone like you, with no luck at all, should just forget about it!"
"European eating spear!"
Bai Yujing stayed up all night and was startled by Li Hao's condition. By this time, it was already bright outside, and the two went directly to the downstairs restaurant for breakfast. Li Hao seemed extremely hungry, ordering a serving of Japanese Cold Noodles and two large bowls of Breakfast Porridge, looking like he could eat even more. Bai Yujing, having stayed up all night, wasn't feeling well and wanted something light, so he ordered a cup of Sandwich Combo.
Li Hao asked, "How did the translation go yesterday? Did you get any results?"
Bai Yujing felt a bit troubled when it came to this: "The order of the sentences got mixed up and needs to be sorted out. By the way, have you received the pictures of that Tea Set? Each picture has its own meaning and should correspond to the sentences. It seems very necessary now!"
Bai Yujing realized the usefulness of connections; if relying solely on himself, he would truly be in trouble: "I asked someone about it before; it should be sent over this morning!"
After finishing breakfast and returning to the room, Li Hao's computer made a sound. Li Hao immediately said, "The email has arrived!"
After typing a few keys, he saw a document had been transmitted and displayed on the computer: "Here it is. I can't help much with the rest; I have an event today and need to go out!"
"What are you going out for?" Bai Yujing asked.
Li Hao immediately put on a mysterious expression: "Taking a girl out for dinner!"
At that moment, Bai Yujing focused entirely on several pictures and waved his hand: "Alright, hurry up and get lost. By the way, if you find anything interesting or local specialties, remember to bring some back for me!"
"Got it!" Li Hao changed into semi-formal casual wear, tidied his hair meticulously, and set off.
Meanwhile, Bai Yujing sat in front of the computer with a Tea Set, which included a teapot and two tea bowls. One of the Tea Sets was the same Red Painted Porcelain Bowl that Bai Yujing had seen before, depicting a scene of a girl eating while a man was peeking from inside the house. The teapot illustrated an Ancient Architecture, with a beautifully dressed woman sitting under the eaves, in front of which stood a huge Black Pine, lush and green, while outside lay a snowy landscape—a true Winter Wonderland.
Another tea bowl depicted a cave where a woman knelt on the ground receiving a sphere-like object from an indistinct shadowy figure.
Immediately, Bai Yujing reorganized the previously translated sentences according to the information revealed in the pictures. There should be three sentences in total; the first one should be: "Such is fate; people still do not know what they seek; it is better to return!"
The corresponding image is from the first set, "Porcelain Bowl," which means my fate is like this: I will never know what I truly want, so I might as well go back!
The scene in the painting depicts the home of the person who said this, and it represents the most important turning point and significant events in her life.
The second line should be: "The black pine trees stand tall before the door, joyfully welcoming the snow in the morning."
This likely tells the story of the painting's owner returning to her hometown and starting a peaceful life there, corresponding to the scene on the teapot. The final line reads: "Carrying items entrusted by an old friend, buried in my old home!"
This is also what Bai Yujing is most interested in: what did the woman in the painting receive from whom? If the woman in the painting is the Eight Hundred Nun, then who is that vague shadow? That Sphere, which Bai Yujing looks at but feels somewhat trendy and worshipful—could it be the Center?
Bai Yujing quickly zoomed in on the image and clearly saw a water droplet-like indentation on the side of the Sphere.
"This is it!" Bai Yujing confirmed instantly.
In summary, after a long passage of time, the Eight Hundred Nun returned to her hometown, rebuilt a house in her ancestral home, and then buried herself there.
The Center lies within the grave of the Eight Hundred Nun. Bai Yujing was overjoyed; this time Neon did not come in vain, as it pinpointed an important clue. The Eight Hundred Nun was born in Kobin Domain, which is now Kobin City.
The legendary Eight Hundred Nun was born during the Neon Nara Period, predating Abe no Seimei's Heian Era by an entire era. She disappeared during the Neon Warring States Period, spanning over eight hundred years. The name Eight Hundred Nun refers to a nun who lived for eight hundred years; however, her real name remains unknown.
So, the next target has been set: the hometown of the Eight Hundred Nun, Kobin City. It seems that a trip here is indeed necessary.
