Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 399 - Plot Twist

“Could you tell me more about the mission he gave me?” Long Di finally asked. “He charged me with finding out more about his wife’s death, and the disappearance of her body.”

“So… the Spiritual Intent levied that mission on you.” Duan Meilin didn’t seem surprised to hear that. “This shall require some… context.”

“You know of it?” Long Di was surprised to hear this. The Peach Blossom Sage’s Spiritual Intent was very vague with the phrasing.

“Mostly,” she admitted. “The shrine of memories that you visited before contains the memories of Lord Peach Blossom Venerate up until the point he was a True Star Sage. He wished to immortalise the times he was most happy. The True Star Sage realm held the most of that. However, his heart at the time was in turmoil about what was to come. Because of that, some of the memories about his wife beyond the True Star Sage realm must have seeped through into the Spiritual Intent. Nevertheless, it is a wish of his that I know he had. So maybe this is fate.”

Long Di understood now why the Spiritual Intent couldn’t give him a clear-cut and defined outline of the mission he wanted him to fulfil. It’s because the Spiritual Intent truly didn’t know. However, its obsession with it was so strong that it gave Long Di this as a mission.

Duan Meilin went silent for a moment as she compiled the thoughts in her head. Her expression soon became grave, but she still spoke. “Lord Peach Blossom Venerate’s wife, as I’m sure you know, is an Abyss Ghost.”

She peered into Long Di’s eyes when she uttered the name of this race. However, she saw zero ripples in his eyes and felt no change in his spiritual fluctuations.

Long Di crossed one leg over the other as he sat listening to the story. “Can we move this along, please?”

Duan Meilin was shaken by this. “Where did you get the chai—?”

“Is that really what you wanna know?” Long Di asked her.
