Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 962: Chapter 942: Back Again

Qhianqhian didn’t know how she got back to her room to sleep that day. Her mind was completely foggy, and the next day, Tang Tianyi silently led them away.

”Why are we leaving in such a hurry?” Luo Yanran yawned.

Qhianqhian didn’t rebut or ask questions and remained quiet along the way.

They didn’t continue their trip but returned to Capital City.

Once home, Old Master Luo still looked furious. However, Yue Tingyu gently pulled Qhianqhian over with a slight frown and touched the scab on her face with her finger. The next moment, the scab fell off, revealing smooth, flawless skin.

Old Master Luo dropped the chess piece in his hand onto the floor.

Stunned by the incident, Qhianqhian was shocked as she touched her own face, having not noticed this problem at all...

Right, it’s Foundation Establishment!

Startled: ”I’ll go take a shower first.” Picking up the scab, she turned and went upstairs.

The remaining three exchanged looks, having not paid attention to these matters before, not expecting she’d already healed.

No matter what happened to Qhianqhian, their attitudes remained unchanged.

Luo Yanran tightly furrowed his brows: ”Did the person who made the fake skin go home?”

Luo Yanran paused: ”Probably not, I don’t know?”

”Make a fake skin, don’t reveal that she’s healed,” Tang Tianyi’s words were approved by Old Master Luo.

”Yes.”

Qin Nuan pondered for a moment: ”I’ll go check on Qhianqhian.” With that, she headed upstairs.

All the way, Qhianqhian had been absent-minded, making her very worried. Now finding out about this, she was worried Qhianqhian might mistake that thing for a chocolate chip and eat it.

Qhianqhian was lying in the bathtub, still somewhat dazed when Qin Nuan came in. Seeing that Qhianqhian hadn’t drowned herself, Qin Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat directly on the toilet: ”What’s wrong with you? Always so absent-minded?”

Qhianqhian’s expression was somewhat strange: ”Do not only I know about your rebirth?”

”How is that possible?” Qin Nuan immediately frowned: ”I’m not stupid, mentioning such a thing would get me taken away for research, wouldn’t it?”

Qhianqhian shook her head: ”I wouldn’t tell anyone either, and you wouldn’t just randomly tell others... Could it really be obvious?”

”Obvious?” Qin Nuan felt a sense of unease: ”Are you saying someone noticed it?”

Qhianqhian nodded: ”Tang Tianyi figured it out.”

Qin Nuan’s face immediately turned pale, her complexion ashen as she leaned against the toilet to prevent herself from collapsing.

”Then...” Qin Nuan’s teeth chattered: ”What should we do?”

”He doesn’t intend to reveal it, not even I knew until yesterday...” Qhianqhian hesitated, then chuckled bitterly: ”It was his god-grandmother who mentioned it, saying it was destined, which I don’t quite understand.”

”Won’t they...” Qin Nuan was still anxious.

”They probably won’t tell anyone.”

Qhianqhian gently shook her head. She hadn’t been exposed in this matter, nor did she tell anyone.

”How did he figure it out? Can’t it be altered? Is there someplace where we slipped up?” Qin Nuan calmed down and immediately started pondering countermeasures, but even after all her thinking, if she didn’t know how he figured it out, what was the point in planning?

”It’s the soul.” Qhianqhian smiled wryly: ”Apparently, after Foundation Establishment, the soul becomes stable and won’t be visible. You should start cultivating quickly.”

Qin Nuan paused, then smiled wryly: ”If I didn’t know you’ve been listless with worry these days, I would have thought you were tricking me into cultivating more diligently...” But she saw Qhianqhian’s calm demeanor, which was concerning.

There was no other way.

”Something’s not right, if that’s the case, why didn’t Diwu Yan and the others...”

”First, distinguish between superpowered individuals and cultivators.” Qhianqhian shrugged: ”The secret manual I gave you is for superpowered individuals; cultivation is much harder, but the only problem is, superpowered individuals can’t establish a foundation.” She swallowed, and sat up from the water: ”They can’t establish a foundation, so naturally it’s not possible to see your situation.”

Qin Nuan’s eyes widened in surprise: ”According to you, special ability is just simple cultivation?”

Qhianqhian nodded: ”Sort of.”

Having received so much unknown knowledge yesterday, Qhianqhian had a terrible headache.

”Here, take this.” Qhianqhian, who hadn’t removed the ring even while bathing, casually flicked her hand, and a book fell into Qin Nuan’s hands.

Qin Nuan didn’t get a chance to look at the book in her hands and widened her eyes in surprise. What kind of trick was this? Creation out of nothing? Grabbing objects from thin air? Teleportation or what?

”I am now suspicious of all magic tricks.”

After all, Qhianqhian wasn’t wearing anything... Where was she hiding it? Where could she hide it?

More importantly, she was soaking in the bath, wasn’t she? But the book was dry.

This was one of the things Ji Yunshang gave her, not just the small incense burner as she mentioned.

But looking at this small incense burner, it seemed less aesthetically pleasing than the one bought together with Jimo Cheng, the patterns on it were even more intricate, feeling somewhat more rustic.

Flipping through its pages, Qin Nuan’s mouth twitched: ”Just kill me.”

The first level was more complicated than all previous levels combined, now how was she supposed to play this game? Foundation Establishment???

”Bring a knife.” Qhianqhian merely squinted her eyes, then lay down again, playing with the water ball in the water, condensing and shattering it, repeating the actions.

All without minding Qin Nuan, who was wide-eyed on the side.

What on earth is this?

”Tell grandma I want her noodles.” Qhianqhian smiled, turning on the shower faucet, with some discoloration already in the water, clearly being impurities.

But she had already undergone muscle strengthening and cleansing, and there weren’t many things left in her body to cleanse. The most abundant of them should be that piece of scab.

”Okay.” Qin Nuan stuffed the book Qhianqhian just gave her into her clothes to carry it with her, afraid of losing it.

From Qhianqhian’s words, she knew this couldn’t be compared with previous things.

Qhianqhian sighed deeply, feeling as if she were bearing pressures a child her age shouldn’t have to endure.

She stood up and rinsed her body thoroughly, stepping out of the bathtub.

She changed into new clothes and unexpectedly saw Tang Tianyi waiting at the door, and was momentarily stunned.

”Why are you here?” Qhianqhian asked with a towel in one hand drying her hair, her expression natural.

Tang Tianyi shook his head, remaining silent for a moment: ”Did you speak with Qin Nuan?”

After Qin Nuan went downstairs, she looked at him oddly, and then when speaking with Luo Yanran, she occasionally glanced at him, her look undeniably strange.

Moreover, her eyes didn’t carry doubt, admiration, nor calculation, but fear and dread, wasn’t that odd?

Before going upstairs, she even mentioned watching out so Luo Yanran wouldn’t get beaten up...

(Luo Yanran: Hey hey hey, am I really that easy to beat up? ...yes.)

Hesitating for a moment, Qhianqhian nodded: ”Hmm...”

”The soul from the Different world?” Luo Yanran continued to ask.

Qhianqhian nodded again.

”Hey, what should I say to you, why would I ever expose your friend’s secrets?” Tang Tianyi felt helpless, taking the towel and gently drying Qhianqhian’s hair.

Qhianqhian’s hues dimmed.

But Ji Yunshang said...
