Yu Yi stared in shock at the ceiling, taking a moment before speaking: “Divine master, are you saying that to you, I am someone who lived hundreds of years ago?”
“Not just that.”
“Thousands of years?”
“More or less.”
“Actually, in different space-time realms, it’s hard to compare before and after. It would be too complicated to explain clearly, so ‘more or less’ works.”
Yu Yi heard another unfamiliar term.
The divine being coughed lightly and changed the subject, “You completed this mission very well. The reward is… fifteen hundred points. Deducting ten points from when I helped you find someone, you still owe two thousand nine hundred and thirty points.”
Yu Yi asked, “Divine master, can this servant borrow some money?”
“Why?”
“This servant wants to redeem her mother and sisters.”
“There’s no need to rush. You can go later.”
“How can I not be anxious? My mother and sisters are still enslaved, possibly being mistreated at this moment. If I could redeem them a day earlier, it would be good. If the divine master would let me go to redeem them, I am willing to forgo all future mission rewards and serve the divine master for life.”
Yu Yi spoke while kneeling down and respectfully kowtowed.
“What a tempting suggestion!” the divine being laughed softly: “But I’m not that unscrupulous. Get up, and I’ll tell you why there’s no need to hurry.”
Yu Yi stood up hesitantly, and he continued: “I can send you back to the moment you left. In other words, for people in your world, you never left.”
“Back to the moment I was about to drink the poison?”
“Of course, a few hours or days later is fine. So I’m saying you don’t need to be anxious.”
You can slowly complete missions and accumulate more points before going back to do what you want.”
Yu Yi lowered her head in thought. Seeing her silent, the divine being said, “Let’s decide your next mission.”
Suddenly, Yu Yi looked up, her eyes bright and eager, “Divine master, can you send me back a few months before entering the brothel?” If so, she could warn her father about the family’s impending execution, allowing him to prepare, whether by escaping or clearing their name, preventing their execution. She was so excited that her voice trembled.
