2: Chapter 002 The Temperamental Beautiful Landlady

Blue Star, Yong City, by the side of an unnamed river.

Night had just fallen.

On the riverbank, a streak of lightning suddenly flashed, and immediately after, a man wearing long gray robes walked out from the lightning rift.

This man was, of course, Ye Mo.

"It really is Blue Star!"

Ye Mo looked at the river before him; it was the very same river where, one month ago, he had come to swim on a whim in the middle of the night.

Although the System had said early on that this was Blue Star, when he truly stepped onto this land, Ye Mo still felt a sense of unreality.

"Host, enough with the sentimentality. I have just calculated that the energy of the world-crossing stone will be full in ten days. At that time, it will automatically trigger a Transmigration. Therefore, you must seize the time to find a woman possessing a Spiritual Root within ten days and successfully make her pregnant with your offspring."

The System reminded him.

"There should be enough time. And, even if I transmigrate back to the Water Moon Realm, I should be able to transmigrate back here again, right?"

Ye Mo wasn't very anxious. Inside the System space, there was still over twenty catties of gold; finding someone to bear him a child definitely wouldn't be a big problem.

What he was worried about now was whether he could transmigrate back if he returned to the Water Moon Realm again.

"It is possible, but it will also take ten days to fully accumulate the energy."

The System replied.

"Hmm, as long as I can come back, that's fine. I'll go back to the rental apartment first to change clothes."

Ye Mo's current attire looked exactly like an ancient farmer; it would definitely be inconvenient to go out.

Next, he planned to take all the gold on him and sell it; it should fetch a few million.

Then, it would be to search for a woman with a Spiritual Root.

Of course, besides this, Ye Mo had one other very important thing to do.

That was to buy a gun!

Guns don't pose a huge threat to a Cultivator, but when caught off guard, they can still kill a Cultivator.

If he could buy a rifle or machine gun, then Ye Mo's chances of survival at the Mining Site would greatly increase.

The place where Ye Mo lived was not far from here, only two or three li away, called Tianhe Apartment.

Calling it an apartment, it was actually just a renovated old office building, costing only 650 yuan a month.

Very quickly, Ye Mo arrived at Tianhe Apartment.

Because he didn't have a key now, he went directly to the landlord's residence, but he didn't see the landlord.

Ye Mo didn't have a phone either. After waiting for about ten minutes and not seeing the landlord arrive, Ye Mo ran directly to the third floor, came to the door of room 305, and planned to just blast the door open.

With his current strength, blasting the door open wouldn't even damage the lock.

But just as Ye Mo placed his hand on the doorknob, a sudden shout came to his ears: "What are you doing!"

Ye Mo turned his head to look and saw a man in his twenties, followed by a woman, rushing towards him.

Judging by their attire, they should be workers from some factory.

Near Tianhe Apartment, there were quite a few factories, and the rent for this apartment wasn't too expensive, so many workers lived there.

Ye Mo had lived here for over a year and had seen many such workers, but this was his first time seeing these two; they must have just moved in.

"Who are you?"

The man looked at Ye Mo with vigilance, then directly pulled Ye Mo's hand off the doorknob.

Ye Mo was confused, but he didn't get angry; he just said indifferently, "What's wrong with returning to my own home?"

"Returning to your own home? Heh, what, are you planning to just pry the door open?"

The man sneered, then his face darkened, and he continued, "I advise you to leave quickly, or I'm calling the police!"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Mo was slightly stunned. Even if he pried the door open, it would be prying his own door; what business was it of his?

"So you're not leaving, huh? Fine, I'm calling the police."

After the man finished speaking, he took out his phone from his pocket. However, just as he was about to dial the police, he was stopped by the woman beside him.

"Aiming, forget it. He hasn't started picking the lock yet..."

The woman also looked at Ye Mo with great vigilance.

Clearly, they had mistaken Ye Mo for a thief.

However, Ye Mo hadn't started stealing yet, so even if they called the police, it would be hard to convict him. She was worried that Ye Mo would retaliate against them afterwards, so she chose to avoid trouble.

Ye Mo finally understood, so he looked up at the door number to confirm it was 305.

Ye Mo had lived here for over a year and was certain he hadn't remembered the room number wrong.

Could it be that because he went missing for a month, the landlord rented the room to someone else?

But his rent hadn't expired yet!

"You guys live here?" Ye Mo asked tentatively.

"What else?" the man said coldly.

"Uh, could you call the landlord? I used to live here too, but a month ago, I had to go out for something. The landlord might not have been able to reach me and thought I wasn't renting anymore, so she rented the place to you."

Ye Mo didn't really care whether the room was rented out or not.

He just wanted to get his things back.

Especially his ID card and bank card.

Because Ye Mo was a soul-Transmigration, although he looked similar to the original host, re-applying for an ID card and bank card might require fingerprints.

Ye Mo was worried that this body's fingerprints wouldn't match his own.

"Brother, we weren't going to pursue this, but you're relentless, aren't you? You say you lived here a month ago, but we've been living here for half a year, okay? Fine, you want to call the landlord, I'll call now. Let's see what you have to say then."

After the man finished, he dialed the landlord's number.

And when Ye Mo heard the man say he had lived here for half a year, he was shocked.

Seeing Ye Mo's expression, the man thought Ye Mo was scared and felt disdain in his heart.

Not long after, the call connected. The man spoke a few words and then handed the phone to Ye Mo, saying: "The landlord wants you to answer the phone."

At this moment, Ye Mo was still thinking about the man saying he had lived here for half a year. Seeing the phone in front of him, he subconsciously took it.

"Ye Mo, you bastard, where the hell have you been all these days!"

Just as Ye Mo put the phone to his ear, the landlord's furious voice came from the phone.

"I went out for a trip, but I was only gone for a month, why did you rent the house to someone else?"

Ye Mo raised the phone slightly. Ye Mo knew the landlord quite well; she had the face of a celebrity but the voice of a landlady.

"A month? You must have gone to the Antarctic, hit an iceberg, and been frozen, right? Ten months have already passed, do you know how I've spent these ten months?"

The landlord's roaring voice rang out again.

"Impossible!"

Ye Mo blurted out.

He clearly remembered that he had only experienced Transmigration for a month; how could ten months have passed? Could it be that nine months were wasted during the Transmigration process?

Ye Mo could actually understand why the landlord had such a huge reaction.

Ye Mo was originally an internet author. The novels he wrote, although not famous, were barely enough to make ends meet. Not long after moving into this apartment, the landlord inadvertently discovered the novel he was writing.

Then, after taking a few glances, she started getting hooked.

Every time Ye Mo didn't want to update, she would come directly to his door and urge him to update on the spot.

And this time, with Ye Mo disappearing for ten months, the landlord would send Ye Mo a razor blade almost every day.

"What do you mean impossible? You wait there, I'll be back soon."

After the landlord finished speaking, she hung up the phone...
