“Master, it really wasn’t me who asked her to keep your contact information.”
“I know, you’ve already said it three times.”
Upon leaving the 13th Bureau and returning home, it was already 1 AM, and Sofia had also come to William’s house.
No!
It should be said that the soul present now is Seraphina. ．
Again and again, she explained to William that it was solely Sofia’s intention to ask for his contact information earlier.
“It’s already very late, you can leave now. As long as you don’t do anything illegal, I won’t interfere with you.” William was genuinely worried about any neighbor who couldn’t sleep and might take a stroll, peek into his yard, and then all sorts of rumors would spread the next day.
Seraphina said, “Master, you are indeed magnanimous. I have already made an agreement with Sofia that, unless under special circumstances, I will cultivate in the depths of her heart and will not take the initiative to use her body.”
“That’s good!” William sat down on a chair under the sycamore tree.
“Then I will not disturb you any further.”
Hearing her say this, William simply closed his eyes, preparing to take a short rest.
“How… how am I here?”
William had just closed his eyes when he heard Sofia’s voice.
This is Sofia!!
“Seraphina!!” William couldn’t help but exclaim softly. Just now, Seraphina had taken over Sofia’s body to come to William’s yard, and now she had suddenly returned to Sofia’s body.
With this, Sofia inevitably felt a sense of fragmentary memory loss, followed by the bewildering illusion of appearing in William’s house.
Seraphina had returned to Sofia’s body, but left Sofia in William’s yard.
It was now one in the morning; were they going to let Sofia walk home alone in the dark?
After he shouted, Sofia was stunned, looking at William dumbfoundedly, but Seraphina didn’t come out, probably pretending not to have heard.
Sofia looked around and then looked at William, carefully asking, “William, is this your house?”
William coldly said, “What else did you think?”
Just this tone alone was clearly enough to keep people at a distance.
William was also a normal man; generally, he was a little bit nicer to girls than to boys.
But he was really displeased with Seraphina’s actions!
Seraphina clearly wanted Sofia to get close to William, and she probably had realized that William was not the kind of person with a penchant for killing. Therefore, Seraphina wanted to test William a bit.
“Seraphina, you are playing with fire!” William did not forget to use telepathy to communicate with Seraphina.
Seraphina didn’t respond, continuing to play dead.
Sofia was also frightened by William, and could only say, “Then I’ll leave first.” Saying this, Sofia walked out of William’s yard.
It was already so late, and logically, it was somewhat dangerous for a girl to walk the streets at this time, but William had no intention of escorting Sofia.
Seraphina is engaging in psychological games with William, but William is not buying into it.
He wasn’t worried about Sofia’s safety at all.
Seraphina has stated that unless it’s a special circumstance, she will not take over Sofia’s body, but if anyone tries to harm Sofia, as long as Seraphina’s soul is within Sofia, she will certainly not suffer any harm, hence William is not actually worried.
He didn’t value human life as Wes did; he just wanted to be a law-abiding citizen, but he couldn’t expect everyone to be like him.
Even if Seraphina really killed someone, as long as it didn’t affect the people around William, he actually didn’t want to interfere.
Sofia walked out of William’s yard and took a taxi straight home.
In the car, she only heard Seraphina say to her, “Sofia, you are really quite lucky.”
“Huh?” Sofia was still not very used to a voice suddenly emerging beside her, but she had seen some films, like in the movie Avatar where humans used technology to transfer their consciousness into the bodies of the extraterrestrial natives, or in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, where the gods often interacted with humans and sometimes possessed them. She supposed her situation was more of the latter kind.
“You don’t need to speak; I know everything you think and feel,” Seraphina said with a charming laugh, “Possession? You can understand it that way. With me here, in this world, apart from the Master we just met, there should be no one who can bully you.”
“The Master we just met? Are you talking about William?” Sofia asked in confusion, “Is he very powerful?”
“Of course, I’ve lived for over ten thousand years, and I never thought there would be such a person in this world. He should be on par with the God-Kings of the Divine Realm,” Seraphina chuckled, “Moreover, this Master seems to be a good person; you can try to interact with him more in the future. It’s also beneficial for me.”
Seraphina had a clear idea. She wasn’t interested in this mortal world; what she wanted more was to return to the Divine Realm to avenge her grievances!
To return to the Divine Realm, relying solely on her own power would likely be impossible, even in thousands or tens of thousands of years.
But encountering a super-strong individual like William and not taking advantage of it would be missing a golden opportunity, wouldn’t it?
Sofia said, “I don’t think William wants to talk to me.”
As she said this, she felt somewhat complicated inside.
Being a girl, she could sense that William was somewhat reluctant to talk to her, which probably made her a bit displeased.
“What are you afraid of? If he is displeased, he will deal with me first. I am not afraid; you should try to get closer to him. If you can cultivate together, that would be the best, but even becoming good friends is fine.”
“Cul… cultivate together?” Sofia’s mouth twitched severely, “Who wants to cultivate together with him?”
“You’re unwilling? If the opportunity arises, let me take over then,” Seraphina flirtatiously giggled, “I, Seraphina, have lived for so many years and never thought about cultivating together with anyone, but this gentleman is not bad, hehe.”
“You… don’t mess around! Don’t forget, you promised me that you wouldn’t use my body on your own unless it’s a critical moment.”
Upon hearing Seraphina speak in such a manner, Sofia couldn’t help but feel nervous. What if Seraphina truly used her body to engage in some indescribable acts with others, and she woke up, knowing nothing, only to find out that she had been intimate with someone? How could she accept that?
“Doesn’t this count as a critical moment? Didn’t you say you’re unwilling? When the time comes, it can just be you for a while, then me for a while, or we could experience it together—just thinking about it feels so thrilling!”
Sofia’s face instantly turned red, and she hastily said, “Thrilling? Anyway, that kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!”
“Are you still planning on having further contact with that William?”
“I’m not planning to!” Although Sofia truly admired William’s violin performance, how could his rejection possibly make her take the initiative to approach him again? She’s definitely not crush-addicted.
“What does crush-addicted mean?” Seraphina curiously asked.
“You fit the definition perfectly!”
Sofia was both amused and frustrated. Seraphina was always talking about cultivating together with others; if this wasn’t crush-addicted, then what was it?
“So, crush-addicted means something like being obsessively infatuated?”
“Yes, yes, yes! You are crush-addicted! From now on, I’ll call you that, okay? Crush-addicted!”
“I feel like you are mocking me, but I also find this nickname quite interesting.”
Considering all this, Sofia felt that unless absolutely necessary, it would be wise not to let Seraphina control her body.
Otherwise, if one day Seraphina took a fancy to some handsome guy and directly asked him if he wanted to cultivate together, how could she face people in the future?
