Chapter 108: Chapter 103: The Missing Diary_2"Sis, big bro, I can take care of it myself." Zhou Xuan took the quilt, intending to spread it out himself. Xu Li gently pried his hand open and said with a smile, "Xuanzi, you’ve been resurrected from death, that’s a tremendous fortune. You can’t do anything yourself for the first three days, otherwise, the fortune might dissipate." "Just listen to your sis. It’s the same for some people who’ve recovered from serious illness; they can’t do things themselves, family helps out, and it’s a sign you’ll be wealthy and respected later on. Whatever you eat or drink, someone will be there to take care of you." Yu Zhengyuan also urged. Zhou Xuan didn’t want to let down Xu Li’s kindness, so he had no choice but to stand by and wait. But the blessings of Xu Li and Yu Zhengyuan were not only sincere, they were also abundant. After spreading the quilt, Xu Li didn’t let Zhou Xuan onto the bed yet, and continued to bring over portraits of various Bodhisattvas and Taoist ancestors. "This is the Medicine King Bodhisattva, protecting your health." "The Great Heavenly Master from the Heavenly Eye Daoist Temple ensures that hundreds of ghosts won’t invade." "This one is powerful, it’s a portrait of your ancestor, borrowed from Master Yuan, ensuring that your storytelling gets smoother and slicker." "This..." Zhou Xuan’s room wasn’t big, and the portraits and statues took up more than half the space. Zhou Xuan felt that even getting up at night would be a hassle. If his eyesight was even slightly poor, he might accidentally smash these gods to pieces. Xu Li considered bringing in a horde of "protectors" enough, yet proceeded to scatter dried fruits on the bed. Walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, peanuts... "These dried fruits all have symbolic meanings." Xu Li started to explain. "Walnuts, for a harmonious and perfect life, Longan, for togetherness, Red dates, for the birth of noble offspring, Sunflower seeds, for a house full of children..." Zhou Xuan: "..." These blessings might be a bit too premature; I don’t even have a girlfriend yet. Handfuls of dried fruits made the bed tight-packed; many walnuts and almonds were squished onto the floor. Yu Zhengyuan, who helped carry in the radio, was enthusiastically explaining as he walked, "This radio, the four of us brothers chipped in to buy; genuine product from the Country of Amekan, very good sound quality for listening to programs... Ouch..." Before he could finish, Yu Zhengyuan stepped on a walnut, slipped, and started to fall backwards. Zhou Xuan quickly reached out with his right hand to grab Yu Zhengyuan’s clothes, but never expected that his hand would actually go through big bro’s body. The palm passed through skin and bone, and it started to feel warm—it was the big bro’s beating heart. Fortunately, Zhou Xuan reacted swiftly, immediately withdrawing his right hand and switching to his left hand to grab Yu Zhengyuan’s shoulder. The radio fell to the ground, but Yu Zhengyuan was unhurt. "It’s broken now." Yu Zhengyuan didn’t care about his own wellbeing; he picked up the radio, placed it on the table, turned it on, and it made sound, though it was chipped at one corner. "Xuanzi, I’ll take this one home and buy you a new one tomorrow..." Yu Zhengyuan felt quite embarrassed. But Zhou Xuan wasn’t listening to him; instead, he was staring at his own right hand. "Xuanzi, Xuanzi?" Zhou Xuan was brought back to his senses by the call and put down his hand, asking Yu Zhengyuan, "What’s up, big bro?" "The radio got a corner smashed." "Oh, no worries, as long as the radio still makes sound... And being chipped adds character." Zhou Xuan knew Yu Zhengyuan’s family was in a tight spot, so he couldn’t let him spend more money. "Big bro, sorry to keep you busy, I need to go talk to sis about something." Having left the room, Zhou Xuan headed to his sister’s room, only to see Zhou Lingyi and Yuan Buyu, each holding bottles and jars. More blessings? Zhou Xuan thought of his chock-full room and felt his head swell. ... Inside the room, Yu Zhengyuan and Xu Li had returned to their own rooms, and before leaving, they halved the number of dried fruits on the bed; otherwise, it really wasn’t sleepable. Yuan Buyu was pacing in the room, deep in thought. "Sis, are you saying my right hand could enter big bro’s body?" Zhou Lingyi asked. "Yeah, if I hadn’t reacted fast, I could’ve hurt big bro," Zhou Xuan said, slightly scared. Then, he recalled how Zhou Lingyi once grasped the heart of a Living Doll from within a female corpse’s belly and mentioned, "It seems like you can do it too, sis." "I relied on the talisman of the Witch family for that." Zhou Lingyi explained, "Blood and flesh, spirit and Dao. The purpose of that talisman was to temporarily transform the flesh into a Spiritual Body; ethereal spirits can naturally penetrate into someone’s body. But your hand, even without relying on a talisman, can do it, which means... you can grab someone’s heart at any time, coupled with your Dream Generation ability..." "But it’s strange. I could grab it just now, but now I seem to be unable to," Zhou Xuan tested his hand on his own chest, but as soon as he touched skin and flesh, he couldn’t get any further. "You need to adapt. The Sukuna Hand is a part of your body, but like a baby’s limbs, you’re not quite adept at using it yet; it takes time to master," Zhou Lingyi patiently explained. However, Yuan Buyu suddenly interjected, supplementing, "I feel that Xuanzi’s hand might not be that simple..." After offering incense, Yuan Buyu could perceive many secrets, although the perception was quite vague. "Lao Yuan, what are your thoughts?" "I can’t put my finger on it," Yuan Buyu replied. "Try grabbing at my chest and see what happens." "Sigh." Zhou Xuan did as asked, reaching forward without hesitation, grabbing Yuan Buyu’s clothes and then stopping. Yuan Buyu closed his eyes to keenly perceive, while the siblings waited by the side, Zhou Xuan’s arm growing tired from holding it up. Suddenly, Yuan Buyu opened his eyes and declared, "Your hand can affect the incense in my Secret Realm!" "My hand can affect your incense?" Zhou Xuan didn’t quite understand. "In theory, it shouldn’t. A person’s incense is invisible, an essence of spirit, elusive and intangible, but you truly affected it." Yuan Buyu lit an incense stick; the room was without draft, and once lit, the smoke rose in a straight line.
