My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 408 - 320: New Old Deng—Why Is There Only Half a Body?

My name is Xue Dili, and my favorite pastime is knocking the heads of nobles to the ground. I’m unmarried, but I have two kids. I live in Jiang City at Xue Family Bridge. Every day at eight in the morning, I go to class until five in the afternoon. I don’t smoke, and I only drink a little. I sleep at 3 a.m. every day, and after a short nap, I get up. Old Deng always says I’m not far from death.

Xue Dili stared at the complex formulas of advanced mathematics on the blackboard with dead fish eyes. In just a blink, how did the whole blackboard turn into English?

Oh, turns out advanced mathematics is all letters!

But relying on his memory from the Parallel World, he gritted his teeth and kept up with the pace. After all, he had skipped class for most of a week, and this time he was practically starting from the second Chapter of advanced mathematics.

Back in high school, he always thought he was the top student. After all, most of the high school material was easy for him, and by doing more practice problems, he could rank in the top three of the entire school.

But when he got to Ke University, he realized he was only a genius among ordinary people, just barely meeting the threshold to enter Ke University.

And here, everyone was such a genius.

Plus, after skipping classes and having magic filled up in his mind, the knowledge he learned gradually drifted away from him, feeling like he suddenly shifted from top student to a failing student.

And what made him even more uncomfortable...

"Daddy, Daddy, Light, I want Light!" A young voice kept exclaiming in the Consciousness Space, making Xue Dili, who was trying to keep up with the teacher’s advanced math concepts, even more headache.

This was his second daughter, the Insect-devouring Tree. After some discussion at home, she was named Xue Lingshu, to correspond with Little Dragon Lady’s Xue Linglong.

She hasn’t turned into a human form yet, so every day all she does is...

"Daddy, Daddy, I want to eat bugs! I want to drink water!" The massive tree thousands of meters high in the Consciousness Space kept shaking its branches, making the consciousness space feel like it was going through an earthquake.

Xue Dili’s finger veins bulged, almost crushing the pen in his hand, and then Little Tree Lady curiously stared at the derivative formulas on the blackboard, leaves rustling, saying, "I can’t understand, smida."

Xue Dili: "Ah! Killing daughters with no regrets!"

Xue Dili was really tempted to teach her a lesson. With this interruption, he forgot the previous process again.

All Xue Dili could think was when this pesky little jacket would assume a human form, and he could send her home to play.

You could even form a band like the eldest daughter, drink beer while staying home, whatever!

But this little daughter seems completely unaware that Xue Dili at this moment is encountering derivative monsters in class, high-tier derivative implicit functions strong like ghosts, and needing to exert all his effort to barely win... yet she’s still adding to his troubles.

"This is how high-tier derivation works; did you all understand?" The bald Mediterranean mathematics teacher on the podium said.

"Did not understand, smida!" Little Tree Lady chimed in first, and the noise buzzed in Xue Dili’s mind.

This class is unbearable!

Xue Dili stared hopelessly at the podium, finally ending this torturous class along with the buzzing complaints of his little daughter.

He quietly left the classroom and went under the sun, where Little Tree Lady immediately made happy excited noises.

Xue Dili silently looked at Little Tree Lady, his dead fish eyes showing no hope for life.

How about planting her on Earth? Handing her over to Mom?

"You better not. I haven’t even finished dealing with the Divine Tree root under Boston yet; don’t add to my headache," a voice suddenly said.

Xue Dili remembered there’s a big one under Boston after all.

But now he had a way to eliminate that big guy: sealing using himself as a container.

Unfortunately, his Consciousness Space is already full.

Before Little Tree Lady leaves, there’s no way to squeeze that big thing inside.

He could only keep coaxing his daughter, unwilling to have her chattering continually at his ear.

Or, persuade her to sleep.

But regrettably, Little Tree Lady doesn’t sleep!

Looking at the countdown, it’s already the day to refresh travelers. However, looking at this giant tree in the Consciousness Space seemingly surpassing Subspace, Xue Dili sighed, hoping the new travelers aren’t scared.

Or the newcomers can help him deal with this troublesome little jacket.

When the countdown hits zero, suddenly half a body falls into the Consciousness Space.

Xue Dili: "?"

A lower half of the body stood in the Consciousness Space, without an upper body, only organs and writhing fleshy buds sprouting at the stump.

"Prison Master! Is it you, Prison Master? I found your backside!" Xue Dili looked at the half-corpse...

Oh, it’s the Ninth Apostle...

Xue Dili reverted to his dead fish eyes, noting the new traveler isn’t even alive; there’s no consciousness, just half a body.

Oh, this half-body seems like it was chopped off by him.

The upper half was in the Interstellar Corps, the lower half was supposed to be swept away by spatial turbulence, but it circled back into his Consciousness Space.

So, is this half-body the traveler this time?

"Yes, it’s somewhat a waste to throw it away; it might as well be used as fertilizer for the granddaughter than be left in the pitch-black void," Mom said.

Xue Dili continued staring with dead fish eyes, seemingly indicating that nothing was happening, the cosmos peaceful, without Apostle disturbances, completely different from usual conditions.

"With this thing, the little granddaughter should grow quickly and successfully change into human form."
