Because of the Serene Spirit Tower’s construction, the spirits that originally lived there had no choice but to move away. It was a large scale construction and it had not been that long ago that the fourth Serene Spirit Tower’s construction had started. So there were still many spirits who still had not completely moved which made that place to be still rather chaotic.
At the site of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, an area around it was closed off that did not allow anyone to get close, forcing Qiao Chu and the companions to only be able to observe from a distance, and not get close.
With the speed of construction suddenly resumed, the construction team began to recruit workers from outside. Qiao Chu and the others looked over the criteria for recruitment and found that they only needed to be human spirits with no other special requirements which then brought them back here to come discuss it with Jun Wu Xie about it.
“I was thinking why don’t we grab this chance to sneak ourselves in there?” Qiao Chu was a little excited and restless as the mystery behind the Serene Spirit Tower filled him up with the desire to investigate deeper into it.
Jun Wu Xie nodded her head, thinking the exact same thing.
“But there is a problem now. What do we do with Little Xie’s looks?” Fan Zhuo asked as he looked at Jun Wu Xie. Jun Wu Xie was now a spirit and not in her flesh form, hence those things she used to alter her looks in the past could not really be used now.
And there was nothing like that among the things that Ye Jie had prepared for Jun Wu Xie. In the Spirit World where Jun Wu Xie’s portrait was stuck all over, if Jun Wu Xie were to make an appearance with a face like hers, she would definitely be caught immediately before she could sneak herself in.
That was a point that Jun Wu Xie had thought of. In the Cosmos Sack that Ye Jie had prepared for her, it was filled with things that spirits were able to use, but there were no medicinal products in there. Moreover, she did not feel that medicinal compounds based on flesh and skin would be able to alter a spirit body’s face.
“Little Xie.” Suddenly, Jun Wu Yao who had been sitting at the side suddenly opened his mouth.
Jun Wu Xie turned her head to look at Jun Wu Yao. Seeing him beckoning at her, she then walked over to him.
Jun Wu Yao reached his hand out and lifted Jun Wu Xie’s chin. Looking at that exquisite little face, he said: “If you want to alter your looks, why would you need anything else? How about letting me help you?”
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes then lit up.

Seeing Jun Wu Xie’s reaction, Jun Wu Yao knew that she liked the idea and the corners of his mouth lifted up in an indulgent smile.
Jun Wu Yao lifted his other hand and he cradled Jun Wu Xie’s tiny face in both hands as he slowly leaned in close to finally plant a light kiss upon her forehead in between her brows.
Qiao Chu and the others standing at the side immediately averted their eyes.
[Such a public display of affections….. Have they even considered the feelings of this group of hot blooded youths here at the side! ?]
Jun Wu Xie was calm as she accepted the kiss, like she was already used to it, but she still felt a surge of warmth spreading out from her forehead under Jun Wu Yao’s kiss.
That warmth gradually passed over her cheeks, and a soft sound from her face reached her ears. Small tiny beads then fell onto the front of her chest. Jun Wu Xie subconsciously lifted up her hand to feel her face and under the touch of her fingertips, there seemed to be traces of cracks, where tiny beads stick on the tips of her fingers.
Jun Wu Yao then pulled himself away slightly from Jun Wu Xie, his gaze falling upon her face. Shocked daze showed in his eyes, his gaze frozen upon Jun Wu Xie’s countenance, seemingly unable to move his eyes away.
“What?” It was the first time Jun Wu Xie was seeing Jun Wu Yao look at her with such eyes, unfathomably deep and tinged with a sliver of sorrow.
Jun Wu Yao snapped back to his senses in a sudden flash, the pain that tugged at his heart continuing to swirl. It had hit him so suddenly for no reason and he did not even know why he would feel like this.
“It’s nothing. Now, will Little Xie see if this will do?” Jun Wu Yao’s slender finger waved slightly, and a bronze mirror materialized in his hand.
Jun Wu Xie took the bronze mirror and lowered her eyes to look at her reflection.
It was just one look, but it made Jun Wu Xie freeze, utterly shocked.
The young lady in the mirror had an exquisite countenance. Compared to Jun Wu Xie’s looks, it was actually in no way inferior in the slightest, but tinged with an additional cheerless iciness, like the proud moon that hung high up in the night sky, gracefully cold.
Jun Wu Xie stared blankly at the face in the mirror. That was a face she was so familiar with, but so strange at the same time…..
That face, belonged to Wu Xie, the one who was from the twenty fourth century, the reclusive and largely isolated young lady who buried her head in her lab.
Jun Wu Xie’s past life.
Jun Wu Xie had never thought that the day would come where she would see herself like this once again. Those eyes and brows that were so familiar, but the subtle expression upon that face so foreign and unfamiliar. Such a calm expression at such great ease had never belonged to this face.
Reborn into another world, Jun Wu Xie had come to learn of happiness, anger, sorrow and joy, possessing myriad human emotions, causing that cold and emotionless face to already undergo change unconsciously.
It was her, but also not her as well.
How did Jun Wu Yao change her looks to become the way she was in her past life?
Jun Wu Xie did not know the reason, but she was completely entranced as she looked at her past self.
And Jun Wu Xie failed to notice that Jun Wu Yao, standing right in front her, was staring at her face with eyes filled with what almost bordered on sorrow.
That face, pricked Jun Wu Yao’s heart like a thorn, causing him so much pain he was finding it hard to breathe. The agony that had come so suddenly, Jun Wu Yao had never experienced it before, feeling like the most important thing in the world to him had been snatched away.
He could not help but reach his hand out, to wrap Jun Wu Xie in an embrace, his arms tightening bit by bit.
Gripped by a sense of panic and unease, seemingly as if he was afraid she would just disappear in the next second.
Jun Wu Xie found herself suddenly wrapped within Jun Wu Yao’s embrace, with an amount of strength he had never used on her before, like he wished for nothing more than to be able to meld her into his bones.
“Wu Yao?” Jun Wu Xie asked in puzzlement. She could feel the trace of an unusual aura emanating from Jun Wu Yao.

Jun Wu Yao did not say a word, but just hugged Jun Wu Xie tightly in his arms, like he had just found back the most precious treasure he had lost. He did not know what was wrong with him, the abject emptiness and utter despair feeling like his heart had been dug bare, causing him to be unable to control his own emotions.
His arms slowly tightened bit by bit, like her would never ever let go.
Jun Wu Yao’s strength was terrifyingly great, causing Jun Wu Xie to feel an intense pain. Her brows knitted tightly together, but she was a little reluctant to push him away.
“Don’t leave me again.” A low raspy voice came out from Jun Wu Yao’s mouth.
Jun Wu Xie was taken aback.
“I am not going to leave you.”
Jun Wu Xie’s clear voice reached Jun Wu Yao’s ears, that struck like sudden thunder, shocking him awake from his daze. He suddenly raised up his head, his eyes tinged with surprise as he saw Jun Wu Xie’s tightly creased brows. He immediately realized that he
had lost control of himself and he quickly released his grip.
“What happened to you?” Jun Wu Xie did not care about the pain she was feeling, but was instead looking worriedly at Jun Wu Yao, thinking Jun Wu Yao was acting rather abnormally.
“I’m fine.” Jun Wu Yao shook his head, the feeling of panic in his heart unfamiliar to him, which was something he was unaccustomed to.
Hearing Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao speak, Qiao Chu and the companions then turned their heads, to suddenly see Jun Wu Xie’s new looks. All of their faces then looked like they had just discovered a new continent.
“Isn’t Big Brother Wu Yao’s thoughts too obvious here? Even though he has changed Little Xie’s looks completely, he has still changed it to a standard of such flawless beauty, that’s just…..” Qiao Chu said as he rubbed at his chin. Needless to say, the looks that Jun Wu Yao had conjured up, was really great looking, not inferior to Jun Wu Xie’s original looks in the slightest, each with their own strengths, neither one conceding to each other.
“That’s called great taste. With Big Brother Wu Yao’s great taste, how could he possibly do anything that would diminish Little Xie’s beauty?” Fei Yan said, highly earnestly like it was a matter of great seriousness.
It was clear that Jun Wu Xie’s little companions great admired Jun Wu Xie’s new looks, and every single one of them were not stingy with their compliments.
Jun Wu Xie was helpless against Qiao Chu and the entire bunch of them. If she could, she really wanted to tell them that this set of looks was really originally her but she just couldn’t fathom how Jun Wu Yao had changed her to look exactly the same like this. Was it all just a coincidence or what?
Jun Wu Yao silently looked at Jun Wu Xie who was talking with Qiao Chu and the rest of the companions, and his good looking brows creased up without a sound.
He had reassured Jun Wu Xie he was fine, but only he himself knew very clearly that for that very instant earlier, he had completely lost control of his emotions and actions.
[Don’t leave me again.]
That had not been said by him at all.
Jun Wu Yao’s eyes narrowed slightly as he lowered his head to look down at his chest, his hand rising up to clutch at the front of his clothes over his heart.
No matter what that was, he disliked that feeling extremely.
Jun Wu Xie who was talking with Qiao Chu and the rest of the gang then seemed to notice Jun Wu Yao’s gaze. She turned her head around to find Jun Wu Yao’s brows deeply furrowed, his eyes seemingly tinged with a trace of agony. Jun Wu Xie then turned herself around and went walking towards Jun Wu Yao.
Jun Wu Yao saw Jun Wu Xie approaching and he immediately pushed down the strange feeling in his heart.
“I like it very much.” Jun Wu Xie said as she looked at Jun Wu Yao.
These looks were something she had not seen for a long time. Although she was shocked to see it again, but it made her recall everything about her past life, things she had not paid any notice to, which had remained buried deep in her heart, not forgotten.
Jun Wu Yao knew what Jun Wu Xie was referring to. He smiled slightly, and was just about to open his mouth to speak.
But Jun Wu Xie had suddenly pushed herself up on tiptoes, her arms curled around Jun Wu Yao’s neck as she pulled his head down. Her little mouth that was faintly tinged with a smile then just covered over Jun Wu Yao’s lips without any warning.

Jun Wu Yao was completely shocked as he stood frozen in place, every molecule in his body screaming at him to pull her into his embrace.
But this time, Jun Wu Yao was able to control his impulse.
Having just recovered just a few moments ago, Qiao Chu turned his eyes and was immediately greeted by such a “crazy and heartless” display of affection, where it almost caused him to vomit out blood. Tormented both in his heart and mind, he clutched at his chest and leaned heavily on Hua Yao’s shoulder to say painfully.
“Little Xie has changed. She’s really changed. She is no longer the same girl I knew in the past.”
[What a pure and innocent budding little girl she was then. Now, she is actually taking the initiative to force a kiss upon Jun Wu Yao!]
[Society in this entire world is crumbling!]
Hua Yao turned to glance at Qiao Chu.
“You’re envious?” Hua Yao asked with an eyebrow raised.
Qiao Chu glared at him and replied: “What is there for me to be envious about? Don’t I still have Brother Hua here….. Oww!”
Qiao Chu had not even finished what he wanted to say when Hua Yao’s leg lashed out with a kick, that sent Qiao Chu tumbling away.
Fei Yan was heartlessly laughing hysterically at the side, like seeing Qiao Chu being bashed up gave him the greatest sense of delight.
Jun Wu Xie held the kiss for a while before she pulled herself away slightly. Looking at the slightly flushed faced Jun Wu Yao, she could not help herself as she poked at Jun Wu Yao’s cheek with a finger.
“Feeling better now?”
“…..” Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie’s stern expression, and suddenly felt like crying and laughing at the same time. He reached a hand out to pinch Jun Wu Xie on the chin and said with a laugh: “A little better, but still not enough. Why not you kiss me again?”
Jun Wu Xie blinked her eyes.
Qiao Chu standing at the side was going to go mad. He felt that if he were to stay there any longer, he would get a stye in his eye, and hence he went running outside mournfully. Hua Yao and the others then self consciously retreated out from the room, leaving the space for Jun Wu Xie and Jun Wu Yao alone.
“Is it because having my face changed makes it fresher for you?” Jun Wu Xie asked Jun Wu Yao with a serious look on her face. Even if she had not eaten pork before, she would have seen a pig run. Back in the organization in her past life, among the topics of conversation those men in there occasionally discussed about, would be the constant changing of girlfriends.
Jun Wu Yao’s brows furrowed, and then suddenly came right beside Jun Wu Xie’s face, where he lightly bit Jun Wu Xie’s cheek.
It wasn’t painful, but it felt was if there was an element of punishment in that.
“The flesh shell is in the end, still transient. What I care about is you.” Needless to mention that Jun Wu Xie had changed to be so attractive. Back when Jun Wu Xie had disguised herself as a plain and unimpressive youth, Jun Wu Yao had still kissed her when he wanted to!
Jun Wu Xie was coaxed to laugh lightly aloud.
Jun Wu Xie’s laugh immediately caused the stifling repressive feeling in Jun Wu Yao’s heart to disappear without a trace, as if he only needed to see her smile and nothing in the world would be able to frustrate and worry him.
Carrying the looks she had in her previous life, Jun Wu Xie no longer had to worry that she would be captured with all the portraits of her that were everywhere. And she had asked Jun Wu Yao who told her that the alteration of her looks could be extended indefinitely. As long as Jun Wu Xie wished, Jun Wu Yao would be able let her spirit remain in that state.
With everything prepared and only lacking the east wind, Jun Wu Xie had discussed it with Qiao Chu and the others where they agreed that they would go to the fourth Serene Spirit Tower the next day to sign themselves up to part of the construction team.
In the areas surrounding the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, there were still some spirits residing there who had not yet moved away, where Beast Spirits number the greatest. Because the Serene Spirit Tower was urgently in need of recruiting human spirits, quite a number of human spirits were also moving about in the vicinity of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower.
The man who was in charge of recruitment was carrying a book in his hand as he stood at the outer perimeter. Before him were long snaking lines, all of them human spirits here to be interviewed.

Chapter 2042: Joint Plot
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The reason so many human spirits had come forward was because Wu Jiu had promised one condition, that all human spirits who participated in the construction of the Serene Spirit Tower would enjoy priority access into the tower to cultivate after the Serene Spirit Tower’s construction was completed.
Because of the addictive allure to the Serene Spirit Tower, it drew many human spirits to come rushing forward for conscription. The number was so immense that all the avenues leading towards the outside of the Serene Spirit Tower were filled to almost overflowing.
When Jun Wu Xie and the companions reached the outside of the Serene Spirit Tower, they did not immediately rush over to register for conscription. Rong Ruo quietly released the Hell Butterfly, sending it out to search and locate Nalan Shan. Just before Nalan Shan left, he had told Jun Wu Xie that he would put three wooden chairs outside the house he would be hiding in, and that one of them would only have three legs.
The Hell Butterfly came to know the location very soon and it relayed the information to Rong Ruo. After Rong Ruo ascertained the direction, she immediately led Jun Wu Xie and the others there.
It was a highly inconspicuous little hut, and a ball of orange Spirit Fire was lit upon its roof.
Rong Ruo walked over to the front of the door and rapped upon in rhythmically and in sequence, a code that they had agreed upon with Nalan Shan before as well.
After a few moments, the door was slowly opened a crack and a large furry head peeked through the tiny gap to look at Jun Wu Xie and her companions standing outside. Seemingly finding that it looked to be safe, it then opened the door fully. Behind the door, was the cheetah that was currently nursing its wounds and after it pulled the door open with its paws, it retreated back a few steps.
Jun Wu Xie and the companions then quickly walked inside.
