Chapter Seven: The Exchange Agreement

It was utterly absurd. Hua Yun could not help exclaiming in disbelief.

The original owner of this body had been a very good girl. Even so, she had never insisted on staying in that world. She had merely asked for a month, wanting to live with her parents for a while and then think of a way to switch back.

It was Hua Yun who gave up. After all, she had no parents in either world. Why not let someone else have them?

Besides, in those few days she had discovered that the wood attribute within her abilities and spiritual power had fused together, producing even more marvelous effects.

Now, making plants grow, or rather purifying them, was easier for her than for the people of the interstellar age, and even easier than it had been in modern times.

One had to know that in the interstellar age, ordinary green abundance was extraordinarily precious. That meant that so long as she was careful, her abilities would allow her to live very well there.

In modern times, by contrast, plants were not uncommon, yet powers of the extraordinary kind were something people could not accept. If she exposed herself, she might very well be dissected on the spot.

Unlike spiritual power in the interstellar age, which could be seen everywhere. Spiritual power with an attribute was rare, but not unique.

Here, she could use her abilities without fear, instead of living as she had in modern times, unable to do anything and afraid to do anything.

And on top of that, her beloved Douduo had come along too. So when the original owner carefully suggested that she wanted to stay with her parents for a month, Hua Yun agreed without hesitation. Indeed, once she felt she could adapt to life in the interstellar age, she even told the original owner outright that she could go on living in that world forever.

Thinking of this, Hua Yun could not help recalling the girl’s excited expression.

“Big sister, you’re really wonderful. But can you live well in that world?” The girl was still worried whether Hua Yun could adapt to the new world, and hurriedly told her everything she knew.

As for Li Na, she had also mentioned her.

“I don’t blame her. She helped me a long time ago, and this time she didn’t do it on purpose either. Besides, I found my parents, and I met such a wonderful big sister like you. Of course, if it hurts a lot, you can always find a way to secretly teach her a lesson.”

“But don’t hurt her.” After all, when she had just entered school, because she was poor and an orphan, many people looked down on her and took pleasure in teasing her. There had even been so-called rich second-generation heirs making lewd remarks, asking how much money it would take for her to be their girlfriend.

Back then, all she had wanted was to study hard and live properly, as her parents had wished. Yet these people’s existence had made even quiet survival impossible, let alone living well.

It was at that time that Li Na’s single sentence—“Don’t touch her. She’s mine!”—restored peace to her life.

Perhaps at the time it had been nothing more than a casual remark, and perhaps they had not even known each other at all. But as the beneficiary of that moment, she could not help feeling grateful.

“I’ll help you explain it. As long as she doesn’t come looking for trouble, I won’t make things hard for her either.”

It was strange. After they decided not to switch back, the original owner’s memories of many years suddenly surfaced in Hua Yun’s mind.

That was also why she had been able to calmly explain things to Li Na just now. With the original owner’s personality, let alone not knowing Li Na’s fiancé, even if she truly liked him, she would never have gone near him.

Still, thinking about this unusual graduation project, Hua Yun could not shake the feeling that something was off. According to Jiao Jiao and the dean, no one had drawn this assignment for many years. Even when the school had first been founded, those who drew it were all children of great families, and only the direct descendants could draw it.

Yet after so many years, she—a person with no background at all—had drawn it. That could not help but make her pay attention.
