n“Sofia?” William paused slightly, remembering the name. ．

nA while ago, when they had a staff dinner at Le Chateau de Paris, the girl playing the violin at the entrance was named Sofia.

nConnecting this with the semi-deity who also runs a piano store, it was very possible that Sofia’s body had been occupied by a demon’s spirit.

nZoey asked, “Do you know her?”

n“I’ve met her once.”

n“Oh, let’s go and see then.” Zoey and William got on the bus.

nOn the bus, Zoey finally couldn’t help but say, “I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere.”

n“Maybe it’s because I look rather ordinary,” William mused, still contemplating the differences between the two paths of reincarnation and attaining demigod strength.

nThere were originally demi-gods in this world. Gods could infuse their divine spirit into suitable human bodies, but if the person’s strength was not enough and they were killed again, their spirit would basically perish. Finding another suitable body would be nearly impossible.

nPerhaps for this reason, very few gods had descended in the last several thousand years.

nOnce a deity descends, if it cannot find a suitable body immediately, returning is not that easy, and it is even more dangerous afterwards.

nIf one forcefully uses power to occupy the body of an infant, the risks are even greater. Even for demigods, if they perish during their childhood, it is truly a path of self-destruction.

nSuch a great risk is not something every god is willing to take.

nIf one chooses to reincarnate, it means erasing previous memories and being reborn as a completely new person, potentially leading an inconspicuous life. Dying once would undoubtedly weaken the divine spirit.

nReincarnating through a thousand lives without the divine spirit perishing, probably only Artemis, who has studied William’s “Mystic Transformation Art”, could achieve that.

nZoey was not very satisfied with William’s answer, but she couldn’t really find any fault with it either.

nZoey rarely pays attention to the appearances of people she is indifferent to. Even for the Soulmancers in the files, it has always been Wes’s responsibility to remember their faces. Therefore, just as she cannot distinguish between expensive and cheap cars, it is quite normal for William to describe his own appearance as ordinary.

nThe two rode the bus for an hour, and Zoey fell asleep right there in her seat.

nWilliam, standing beside her, looked bewildered, wondering whether the girl knew which stop they needed to alight at.

nIt was only when the bus reached the final stop and the driver asked them to disembark that William woke her up.

n“Are we there yet?” Zoey asked, looking at William after waking up.

nWilliam was also looking at her, both staring at each other, “How would I know if we have arrived? Let’s get out of the car first.”

nAfter alighting, Zoey took out her phone and started looking at it, and William leaned over to look as well.

nWes sent her a bunch of WhatsApp messages, including the location of the piano store, and also asking if they had arrived.

nAround five in the afternoon, he sent another message asking how things were going.

nHe just sent another message saying he has already arrived at Melodic Harmony Piano House.

nZoey opened her phone’s navigation app and after a glance, let out a long sigh, “Oh my, we’ve missed the stop again.”

nThe word “again” implied a lot to William; it was quite evident that this girl probably often missed her stops when taking the bus.

nAnd judging by the location Wes had sent her, this girl likely didn’t know the specific location of Melodic Harmony Piano House at all.

nTerrifying!

nAnd such a person was actually leading William alone to find a demi-god?

nWhether they could defeat others was one thing; just finding the place would be quite an achievement.

n“7 miles?” William looked at the distance displayed on the navigation app and thought this girl was truly amazing.

nIt was indeed rare to encounter a girl even more clueless than his apprentice.

nNow, William felt that Zoey’s intelligence was probably on par with Amy’s.

n“Let’s run there!” Zoey declared.

nWilliam used to enjoy running, but now he had to act like an ordinary person. 7 miles, how long would that take to run?

nShould he also pretend to be exhausted after running?

n“Wes has already gone there; we must hurry.” Zoey said, “Run faster.”

n“I’ll do my best!”

nWithout another word, the two started running.

nTen minutes later, William, with a full head of sweat, pretended to pant heavily.

nZoey finally couldn’t bear to see him like this and said, “I’ll carry you!”

nWilliam’s acting was incredibly realistic; how embarrassing it would be to be carried by a girl!

n“Okay!” William didn’t even refuse and agreed directly.

nNormally, he should have let Zoey go ahead, and he could have followed later.

nBut he had never experienced being carried by a girl before, and in today’s open society, William was unashamed and had no reservations.

n“Get on!” Zoey, who probably was single-minded, insisted on taking William, this encumbrance, and gestured for him to climb on.

nWilliam didn’t stand on ceremony and directly leaned onto Zoey’s back.

nThis feeling did make William somewhat flustered.

nHe was a normal man, and he had been single for who knows how many years. Now being carried by a girl, holding onto her neck, and occasionally getting a whiff of a girl’s unique fragrance.

nThis definitely wasn’t perfume; a girl like Zoey wouldn’t wear perfume.

nZoey’s physical strength was astonishing; she ran incredibly fast even while carrying William.

nShe followed the navigation instructions, running even faster than before, perhaps twice as fast.

nWherever they went, passersby all had a look of disbelief.

nOh my, a man was actually being carried by a girl!

nAnd they were moving so fast!

nWas this girl a superhero?

nCarrying a person and still able to run so fast, was she using some kind of cheat or had she injected some enhancing agent?

n“Hey! What have you placed on your pants? It’s poking me.” Zoey, while running, felt something was amiss.

nWilliam kept a straight face: “I heard this trip to the piano house seemed to be quite dangerous; shouldn’t I bring a weapon?”

n“What’s the use of a weapon?” Zoey was somewhat discontented. “Can you move your weapon to the back, or just hold it in your hand?”

nAh!?

nHolding it in hand might be feasible.

nBut moving it to the back…

nEven for William, that was impossible!

nWilliam fell silent.

nZoey didn’t bother to waste words; listening to the navigation instructions, there was only 1 mile left. Anyway, although William’s weapon was uncomfortable, it didn’t hurt, so she didn’t say much more and increased her pace.

nWilliam felt somewhat embarrassed. He suggested running by himself, but Zoey thought he was too slow and refused his proposal, continuing to carry him and sprint, becoming the most stunning sight on the street.

nFortunately, William controlled his desires and didn’t wet his pants, but when he arrived at the piano store, he still seemed somewhat reluctant to leave.

nIndeed, no matter how many years a man has lived, as long as his body is fine, he is undoubtedly a lecher.

nOr rather, the longer such a lecher lives, the more perverted he becomes.
