Category: Those Years When We Killed the White Lotus

“Since you have promised me, I hope that you will not refuse the things I ask you to do in the future.” Ghost Elder looked at Bai Manman and said pointedly, with a scary smile on his face. Then he disappeared in front of Bai Manman.

At this moment, Bai Manman realized that she is already covered in a cold sweat and her body is trembling slightly. However, it is not entirely because of fear, but more of excitement. What she wanted for so long is immediately available (for ZDL to like her), so no matter who is in the same situation, they also won’t be able to restrain the excitement in their heart.

“Hehe, that’s great. Finally…” Bai Manman chuckled in a low voice. Her original soft voice has a strange tremor due to fear and excitement. Other than that tremor, the relaxation after extreme tension caused her voice to be hoarse, which sounded very unpleasant.

“What with the noise in the middle of the night? You might not want to sleep, but we do. If you continue to make noises, then get out.” Bai Manman’s voice sounded like a night owl that frightened her roommates to cold sweats. So, how could they speak nicely to her?

…

It seemed that after the deal between Ghost Elder and Bai Manman, there are basically no more haunted incidents in the school. Even the entire Haicheng city is calm, so calm that it made people feel that something is wrong.

“Ah Ling, what’s wrong with you during this period of time? You are so restless.” After spending some time with Zhang Daoling, Lin Zisheng can understand how is his character. The Zhang Daoling who always has been calm showing other emotions, it’s quite abnormal.

“It’s nothing, I just feel that this time is too peaceful.”

Although Zhang Daoling had wished for peace and calm before, he knew that this kind of calm is not normal at all. As long as there are people in this world, ghosts will inevitably appear. As long as there are desires and wishes, there will be evil spirits. These are all inevitable existences. But during this period of time, Haicheng city is too peaceful, as if all the ghosts have disappeared after the fifteenth of July.

“It’s really too calm…” Lin Zisheng naturally understood what Zhang Daoling meant, and even felt it stronger than him but he and Zhang Daoling felt the situation differently.

Zhang Daoling only saw the calm on the surface, but Lin Zisheng felt the undercurrents surging under the calm. Those ghosts have never disappeared but hibernated under the leadership of that Ghost Elder. They all seemed to be waiting, waiting for a certain moment to come. Then when the time comes, all the power accumulated would explode. He is afraid that at that time, the world will come to an end.

Of course, Lin Zisheng would not say these words, nor could he say them. He is now Ying Qingxuan, a member of this world, so he must follow the rules of this world. Even if he knows something, he cannot say it if it’s not allowed.

[Host-Daren, although you can’t say it directly, you can still give some hint or reminder. Don’t forget about your adventure mission~] 001’s voice suddenly sounded at this moment, with a gloating tone that deserved to be beaten.

Lin Zisheng: Haha, can you not remind me of this bad thing?

Of course, Lin Zisheng took note of these words. He must help Zhang Daoling now because of the task. Although Lin Zisheng doesn’t know what is the little black room that 001 mentioned, he can be sure that it will never be a good thing. He didn’t want to experience it at all!

“Ah Ling, have you ever thought that this might be some tricks from the ghost that day?” Lin Zisheng floated around Zhang Daoling while looking at him with some silly meng/moe eyes. His pair of black pupils seemed to be pure and clear, like a pool of spring water where one can see the bottom at a glance. This makes people who see them involuntarily willing to trust the person with such eyes.

001: Hehe, you are obviously ‘black sesame-filled glutinous rice balls’, but you dared to make a cute look? Where is your conscience, host?!

Lin Zisheng: Fed it to you!

001: Hehe, host, can I beat you to death?

Zhang Daoling frowned deeply after hearing Lin Zisheng’s words. Originally, he only thought the situation is just an abnormal calm. But after hearing Lin Zisheng’s words, he couldn’t help but think more!

“Daoling, Qing Xuan.”

Just as Zhang Daoling is considering what happened recently, a familiar voice that makes people feel disgusted sounded, causing the two’s expressions to look ugly. The appearance of Bai Manman last time almost caused their death. So, what kind of ‘disaster’ would be brought by her appearance this time?

“You need anything?” Zhang Daoling thought Bai Manman should be a little self-aware by now after he showed his blatant disgust last time, but it seems that he was too naive.

“It’s nothing, I just think you haven’t been out for a long time. Let’s go shopping together, okay?” Bai Manman looked at Zhang Daoling, with a light of expectation in her eyes, and a cautiousness that one can’t ignore.

But it was this behavior that made Zhang Daoling feel even more disgusted. What does she mean by this? Does she think acting like this can make him accept her requests?

“I don’t think we are familiar enough to go shopping together. Also, don’t call me Daoling, we are not that close.”

After saying this, Zhang Daoling waved his hand and left, completely ignoring the Bai Manman who hesitated to talk. Zhang Daoling did not forget that Lin Zisheng’s soul almost disappeared because of this woman, but she doesn’t seem apologetic at all!

Bai Manman froze when Zhang Daoling leaves without looking back. He has rejected her cleanly like that. This is unscientific!

“Refusing a girl so straightforwardly? Are you not afraid of her taking revenge on you? Haven’t you heard the phrase ‘Villainous people and females are hard to raise’?” Lin Zisheng watched the interaction between the two people as if watching a play. He kind of sympathized with Bai Manman. She could have like other people, but she fell for such an insensitive person instead.

001: Host-daren, are you sure you are not gloating?

Lin Zisheng: Guess?

“Afraid of revenge?” Zhang Daoling sneered, his tone filled with disdain, “I am more afraid of her ability to hold me back than revenge. If this continues, either your life or mine will end in her hands.”

What Zhang Daoling said is not an exaggeration. Bai Manman is always by his side every time he encounters danger. If they are in the ancient Chinese era, Bai Manman will be labeled as the person under the ominous lone star (the one who caused everyone around to die).

“Moreover…”

“Moreover?” Lin Zisheng had a feeling that this is the main reason for Zhang Daoling’s action.

“There is a disgusting aura on her body, and she has only recently been tainted with it!”

Zhang Daoling couldn’t tell where the aura came from, but he instinctively hated it, so he would stay as far away from Bai Manman as possible.

After Zhang Daoling mentioned it, Lin Zisheng remembered why he felt weird earlier like she is a little different from before. He felt that Bai Manman’s aura seemed a bit familiar, but he couldn’t remember where.

At this moment, both of them felt like something is coming. Perhaps, this is the last peace before the storm.

…

At this moment, on the other side, Bai Manman returned to her dormitory after being rejected and got ridiculed again by her dorm mates. She lay aggrieved on her bed and started crying. Why did everyone treat her like this? Finally, after everyone in the dormitory had left the room, Bai Manman slowly raised her head. Her eyes are red and swollen from crying.

“I know that you are here. What you said is useless. You promised that Daoling will like me after agreeing to cooperate with you!” But the current situation is completely opposite to what they agreed. Not only Daoling didn’t like her, he even started hating her!

“This Elder has never been untrustworthy. Don’t forget, you have done nothing for this elder yet, why should I help you?” Ghost Elder’s voice sounded with disdain, and his gaze looking at Bai Manman is full of scrutiny.

After hearing that, Bai Manman’s breathing hitched. Only then did she remember that although they negotiated a deal, she had done nothing yet. Biting her lower lip, Bai Manman’s gaze became firm and she said, “Okay, say it. I can do anything. As long as you don’t hurt Daoling, I will cooperate with you 100%!”

Although Bai Manman has been blinded by desire, she still remembers her bottom line – she must never do anything to harm Zhang Daoling!

“Relax, this Elder’s goal is the soul around him, not Zhang Daoling himself.” Ghost Elder’s tone is very firm. In fact, Zhang Daoling is also his goal, but now it is no longer the priority. The Lin Zisheng with true dragon’s blood attracted him more. Moreover, after he swallowed Lin Zisheng, would Zhang Daoling still be his opponent?

“That’s good then! Tell me what I need to do.” Although Bai Manman felt guilty to Lin Zisheng in her heart, the person she loves is always more important than the person who loves her.

Lin Zisheng: Hehe, love her? Is she still dreaming?

“Don’t worry. You don’t need to do very difficult things, it’s just a little favor.” Ghost Elder said it like an understatement as if what he needs Bai Manman to do is really something not worth mentioning.

“Say it, I’ll do it as long as it’s within my ability!” Bai Manman has lost her sense right now. Zhang Daoling’s refusal today and her roommate’s taunts pushed her to the brink of collapse.

“3 days later, take Zhang Daoling to the place I specify. As long as you can do that, I can help you get Zhang Daoling.” Ghost Elder’s tone is full of confidence, as if the moment Bai Manman brought Zhang Daoling over, he could help her capture Zhang Daoling’s heart.

“I can’t do that. Right now, Daoling has started to evade me.” After hearing Ghost Elder’s words, Bai Manman’s eyes lit up, and then she became frustrated again. She doesn’t have a way to fulfill her part.

“Don’t worry, this Elder will help you. Zhang Daoling will definitely follow you to that place 3 days later…” Ghost Elder has a strange smile on his face, and his gaze is full of schemes.

At this moment, neither Zhang Daoling nor Lin Zisheng knew that a trap against them is unfolding quietly without them noticing.

“Qing… Qingxuan?”

Since the crisis is settled, Bai Manman finally realized that something is wrong with Lin Zisheng. If his figure only looked semi-transparent at the beginning, he has now become almost transparent; the faint red color seems to disappear at any time.

“I… I’m fine.”

Lin Zisheng’s voice sounded a little weak. Truth to be told, his current condition is not as serious as it seemed. It can even be said as a blessing in disguise now. Though Ying Qingxuan’s bone is the foundation of his existence, it is also acting as a seal at the time. For the moment, the fracture of the bone will make him weak for a period of time. But after the period of weakness, Lin Zisheng’s strength will slowly increase until it returns to Ying Qingxuan’s peak strength once upon a time.

“Really? That’s great…” Bai Manman revealed a relieved smile when she heard Lin Zisheng’s words. Fortunately, Ying Qingxuan is fine, it’s good news.

On the other hand, when Zhang Daoling saw Bai Manman’s expression, his expression stiffened. Lin Zisheng might be saying that he is okay right now, but his almost transparent figure and his weak voice didn’t seem to be okay at all. However, Bai Manman simply believed it. Zhang Daoling can’t help but wonder if Bai Manman really believes those words, or she is just acting like so to shirk responsibility?

Although Zhang Daoling’s strength may not be as good as that of Ghost Elder for the time being, he still has the golden coin sword so the combined strength should be at least a mid-level strength. He may fall short, but it is not impossible to barely survive. Just that the moment Bai Manman appeared, his chance of survival is wiped out from barely surviving to zero chances.

“Come back and rest ba, don’t forcefully hold on.” Zhang Daoling felt very dissatisfied to see Lin Zisheng trying so hard to hold on. It is clear that his situation is very bad now, but he still pretended to be okay.

After Lin Zisheng heard Zhang Daoling’s words, there is a weak smile on his face. Then, his figure became more and more blurry, until he finally disappeared.

“Daoling, Qing Xuan… Where did he go?” Bai Manman is a little curious after Lin Zisheng disappeared. This is the first time that she had been close to a ghost, so she didn’t understand many things.

Zhang Daoling’s anger became stronger upon seeing the curiosity in her eyes. Lin Zisheng got seriously injured because she came here to drag them back. He(LZS) even had to go back to his foundation (the bone) to heal his soul. But this person who caused him to get hurt badly is curiously asking questions, so how can Zhang Daoling not be angry? Ignoring Bai Manman’s question, Zhang Daoling went straight back to his dormitory. As for the unwelcomed person, someone will help him to stop her.

“Daoling, wait for me. What actually happened today? Can you tell me so I can be prepared in the future? I will definitely be able to help you at that time.” Seeing Zhang Daoling walking towards the dormitory, Bai Manman hurried to catch up. Unfortunately, she got stopped at the door of the dormitory.

“Classmates, this is a male dormitory. Girls should not come in.” Although there aren’t any strict rules prohibiting girls from going in the male dormitory, it is indeed inconvenient for a girl to go around in the male dormitory at night. Also, the person is followed Zhang Daoling’s request to stop her.

“I am a friend of Daoling. We have something to discuss, so let me in, okay?” Bai Manman looked at the person at the door timidly, with pleading in her eyes, as if it is a cruel thing to refuse her.

When the man turned around and looked towards Zhang Daoling, he heard a cold snort, “I am not familiar with her.”

After saying this, Zhang Daoling’s figure disappeared from the stairs, so the young man turned back to Bai Manman and smiled apologetically. Then, he drove her out unceremoniously. After she left, the man looked at the 2nd floor with curious eyes. He did not forget that Zhang Daoling is always a little bit more tolerant towards women because of the education from his deceased mother. To see Zhang Daoling so unrelenting right now, the young man thinks that he is not acting like his usual self.

Zhang Daoling had no idea how the young man thought of him because the first thing he did after returning to the dormitory was to look for something that he thought would never be used – ghost jade.

The ghost jade is a relic left by his mother. When she died, she gave the ghost jade to Zhang Daoling and told him to keep it properly, because it would be useful in the future. Ghost jade is a special kind of jade produced in the ghost realm. It looked a bit similar to obsidian, but if one looked carefully, they will feel that the jade gives out a nurturing feeling. The biggest use of ghost jade is to nourish spirit. Zhang Daoling originally thought that he would never use it, but he did not expect that he would eventually take it out. Putting the ghost jade in the pouch (with LZS’s bone), Zhang Daoling continued to search his own memories if he knows about anything else that could help Lin Zisheng repair his soul. Then, the door of his dormitory is pushed open.

“You used the ghost jade?” Although the young man didn’t see what Zhang Daoling did just now, the yin lingering in the air told him that someone had just used ghost jade.

“En, he got injured from saving me.” After saying this, Zhang Daoling put the pouch on the desk and asked, “What is it?”

“You…” Aren’t you too concerned about that ghost?

The man wanted to ask this question very much, but he swallowed the words back. He has already discovered Zhang Daoling’s abnormality. Although Zhang Daoling as a Heavenly Master is not malicious to all sorts of ghosts, he will not get close to them either. Hence, it’s an impossible sight to see him carry a ghost around like this. But now, it’s even more outrageous, Zhang Daoling actually went and used the ghost jade to cultivate a ghost.

“Hurry up if you have any questions,” Zhang Daoling felt a little impatient looking at the man hesitating to say something and added, “I am tired today.” Dealing with that Ghost Elder is not easy, and even if Lin Zisheng blocked his attack in the end, Zhang Daoling is also affected. It’s not a small hit.

“What’s going on today?” Leaving aside the matter regarding the ghost in the pouch, the man still wanted to ask Zhang Daoling about something else.

“Mid-July, the door of ghost realm opens. The Ghost Elder that I wanted to exorcist last time returned to make trouble.” Briefly summarized what happened, Zhang Daoling took off his coat and let the man out.

The young man felt helpless and dumbfounded by what he heard. He could only leave the dormitory obediently in the end.

Lin Zisheng and 001, who had been staying in the bone could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

[Host-daren, the male lead seems to be really nice to you.] 001 kept flying around Lin Zisheng, with excitement in its eyes, and added [That ghost jade is a special item, which can be exchanged for a lot of points.]

Lin Zisheng stayed silent for a while, and when 001 thought he would not say anything, Lin Zisheng slowly said, “How much is the male lead’s favorability now?”

For Lin Zisheng, his main goal now is to complete the main mission. As for the side mission (raising favorability), he simply went with the flow, so he didn’t pay too much attention to the favorability of the male and female leads.

[Right now, the male lead’s favorability score has reached 65. By the way, in case you want to know, the female lead’s favorability score has reached 79.]

“Heh, why does the female lead’s favorability score always increase so quickly every time?” Lin Zisheng clearly remembered that he hadn’t done anything special this time, and the female lead is not reborn either. This favorability is strangely high and a bit outrageous.

[Probably…because of fantasies?] Too imaginative is also a problem.

…

At the same time, on the other side, Bai Manman returned to her dormitory, feeling glum.

“Bai Manman, what’s the matter? Looking so dejected, heh, you must be driven back by Zhang Daoling ba.” The girl from the same dorm sounded mocking and disdainful.

The other 3 people in the dormitory have more or less the same opinions on Bai Manman. Every time the girl did something wrong, she would look like she is about to cry as if other people bullied her. When this kind of thing happened more than once, who can like her like that?

Bai Manman bit her lower lip. After washing, she climbed onto her bed. Although she couldn’t sleep, she closed her eyes tightly and endured the mocking. Otherwise, those people would say even more hurtful things again. Bai Manman really wants to get along with the girls, but why are they always hurting her?

And so, Bai Manman endured until midnight. When the moon rose to the middle of the sky, Bai Manman felt a shallow breath beside her ear. It’s just that the breath is chilling to the bone, and there is a stale smell.

“Who…?” Bai Manman’s trembling voice sounded. It sounded so lightly in this dark space as if a gust of wind would blow the voice away.

“Heh, girl, don’t you know who this Ghost Elder is?” At the moment that voice rang, the clouds that had been covering the moon quietly dispersed, and the brightness of the moonlight filled the dormitory through the thin curtains. This also allows Bai Manman to see who is the ‘person’ in front of her.

It’s the one who wants to hurt Daoling!

“You… why are you here!?” Bai Manman remembers how terrifying this evil spirit is. If he wanted to, this evil spirit can kill her at any time!

“Heh, don’t be afraid. This Ghost Elder won’t hurt you. I came here to negotiate a deal with you.” Ghost Elder calmed his expression. He wanted to act like a kind elder, but his eyes were so heavy with darkness that it cannot be dissipated.

“Yes, just a deal.” Seeing Bai Manman seemed to be a little moved, the Ghost Elder’s voice turned a little coaxing, “It won’t hurt you, and you don’t need to hurt anyone either. As long as you can help me with a little favor, I will help you get what you want.”

“What I want?” Right now, Bai Manman is completely captivated by Ghost Elder. She only has a thought in her mind, that is to get what she wants.

“Yes, it’s what you want,” Ghost Elder’s voice became more alluring. “As long as you help me, I will help you keep Zhang Daoling by your side so that he will only have you in his eyes.”

No one knows how long ghosts have existed in this world. When it comes to seeing through people’s hearts, how many people can be a ghost’s opponents?

“It won’t hurt Daoling?”

“Of course not.”

“Then, I agree!” As long as she can stay beside Zhang Daoling, it’s fine even if she is dealing with ghosts!

It’s just that Bai Manman doesn’t understand at all what it means to strike a deal with ghosts like the Ghost Elder. It’s tantamount to ‘asking a tiger for its skin’. It’s obvious how badly it will end up.

An eerie pale hand stretched out from the ground, and firmly grasped Zhang Daoling’s ankle. It should have been a ghostly claw that doesn’t have a physical body, but at this moment the claw is deeply sunk in Zhang Daoling’s skin, causing a circle of bloody bruise.

“It has started…” In mid-July, the door of the ghost realm will be opened wide. It’s the only opportunity for humans and ghosts to get in contact, and now all the ghosts are surging from another world, wanting to swallow all the living lives.

Lin Zisheng only watched by the side and did not step forward to help. He knew that this person did not need his help, at least not now. Sure enough, a faint light appeared on Zhang Daoling’s body the next moment. The ghostly claw seemed to be bounced off by something, and then gradually dissipated in the air and turned into little bits of light.

“Ying Qingxuan, you must also be careful. Although you are not the target of the attack, but…” Zhang Daoling wanted to say something but got interrupted by another attack.

Zhang Daoling didn’t finish his words but Lin Zisheng understood what he meant. Although he is not the target of being attacked now, but the blood of the horned dragon with a yao’s soul will still attract some powerful ghosts. After all, if Lin Zisheng really got eaten, the ghost will be able to evolve into some powerful ghosts.

[Host-daren, please be careful. A powerful evil spirit is approaching.]

The power of that evil spirit is almost the same as Lin Zisheng back when he is not suppressed by the seal. That means the current Lin Zisheng is not the opponent of that evil spirit at all.

“What’s his goal?” Lin Zisheng frowned slightly. At this moment, they are already at a disadvantage. If there are any more powerful evil spirits, they might not be able to retreat.

[I cannot be sure.]

001 can only detect the other party’s malice, but as for the source, it doesn’t know for time being.

“Ah Ling, something is approaching, we have to leave quickly.” Fortunately, they are not too far away from the dormitory. As long as they return to the dormitory, they will be safe.

“No!” Zhang Daoling also felt something approaching and his expression became solemn. Especially when he sensed what that thing was, his face became uglier, “We can’t go back, that thing is bloodthirsty. If we go back to the dormitory now, it will probably start a killing spree!”

That evil spirit is the ghost Zhang Daoling wanted to exorcist when he started an exorcism altar that day but ended in failure. If he really escaped back to the dormitory today, that thing might massacre the entire school in order to strengthen himself.

After hearing Zhang Daoling’s words, Lin Zisheng frowned and asked 001, “Can you find the weakness of that thing?” If they can find the weakness of that thing, maybe they have some chance of winning.

[…] 001 said cautiously after being silent for a long time, [it should be… sunlight.]

Lin Zisheng: …hehe, are you kidding me?

Of course Lin Zisheng knows that those things are afraid of the sun. In fact, there are really few yin beings in this world that are not afraid of the sun. Even for Ying Qingxuan, he can only walk under the sun for a short time due to his ‘true dragon’ bloodline. As for the fact that ghosts can walk in the sun after killing too many creatures and swallowing them, it is simply nonsense. One must know that the more a spirit slaughters, the heavier the karma. Such a being won’t be tolerated by the heavens, so how can they have the right to live in the sun?

“What else? Don’t tell me that the sunlight is the only weakness!” Looking at 001 who is a little evasive, Lin Zisheng raised his eyebrows. For the first time ever, he felt that this stupid system is really useless.

[There is no way to judge before seeing the other party. Host-daren, please wait a bit.]

Feeling Lin Zisheng’s dissatisfaction, 001 remedied the situation in time. Of course, it did not lie. After seeing the evil spirit, it will definitely know more information about that thing than it is now.

“It’s coming fast.” Zhang Daoling looked in the direction not far away, his eyes slightly lowered.

It is a man in red, with red hair and red eyes like blood. Although he is dressed in red as Lin Zisheng, the color only looked enchanting and seductive on Lin Zisheng. As for the evil spirit, the red color looked bloody and fierce.

“Junior from Mount Longhu, we met again. This time, let’s see if you can still escape!”

Last time, he let this person run away because of the golden coin sword. But this time, he would not let go of Zhang Daoling no matter what! It’s a Heavenly Master ah, their flesh and blood are a great tonic for spirits. After eating him, maybe he can become the king of ghosts!

“Last time, you couldn’t catch me so you thought you could do it this time?” Zhang Daoling looked at the evil spirit and his eyes were particularly solemn. He knew that today’s battle is very dangerous, maybe he might die on the spot.

“Dao, Daoling…” Just when a human and a ghost are testing each other’s trump card, a faint and trembling voice called out. A white-clothed girl can be seen standing not far away and trembling all over.

[The one who drags hind legs has arrived.]

001 opened its mouth first to announce the fact. Towards the white lotus in this world, 001 really doesn’t know what to say. The female lead is very afraid of ghosts, but she always moves forward. Of course, if she can really help, then it’s okay. But in reality, she only be a hindrance every time

“Go back!” Zhang Daoling’s face turned green when he saw Bai Manman because he knew one thing. If this woman hadn’t appeared, his chance to survive might be 1 out of 10, but after she appeared, he would be dead 10 out of 10!

“I don’t want to! I want to help you!” Although Bai Manman is shaking and her face is abnormally pale, her attitude is firm. She wanted to help Daoling so she must stay here.

“You are helping us if you just leave, at the very least, no one will be dragged down by you.”

Finally, Zhang Daoling couldn’t bear it anymore and burst into anger. There isn’t any politeness in his words, and every word is stabbing into Bai Manman’s heart fiercely. Because Bai Manman is a girl, Zhang Daoling has been restraining himself. Although Zhang Daoling didn’t like this person to keep appearing around him, he didn’t say it too badly. It’s just that this person has no self-awareness at such a dangerous time so how can Zhang Daoling endure it?

After Bai Manman heard this, her face went pale for a moment. Then, she showed a firm smile and said, “I know you are worried about me so you said those words, but I don’t care!”

001 and Lin Zisheng: …How big is this person’s face?

Sure enough, Zhang Daoling’s face became even uglier after hearing this. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s not suitable to do it now, he really wanted to throw Bai Manman out!

At this moment of inattention, the evil spirit seized the opportunity to stretch out its long claws and stabbed towards Zhang Daoling’s chest, obviously wanting to gouge out his heart.

[System scanning, the male lead is facing life-threatening danger. The current danger value has exceeded the warning line!]

[Ding Dong, congratulations, you have triggered the adventure mission.]

Lin Zisheng: Hehe, why don’t I feel honored at all?

[Adventure mission: To ensure that the male lead can live his lifespan and die a natural death.
Task type: Mandatory acceptance.
Mission difficulty: SS level.
Task rewards: 5,000 points & 10 attribute points.]

[The points lottery function will be activated, and Host will be given 2 chances to draw the lottery. Penalty for failure: 3 days in the little black room is waiting for you yo~]

No matter how he complained in his heart, Lin Zisheng quickly floated to Zhang Daoling’s side. He reached out his hand to block the blow from the evil spirit, and a shallow golden light appeared in his palm. It’s not glaring, but lets one feels that it has a thick texture.

After the evil spirit saw this, a bright light appeared in his eyes, “The true dragon’s blood? It seems that this Ghost Elder has encountered a lot of good things today. In that case, this Ghost Elder will gladly accept it!” The evil spirit smiled wildly and his originally long nails became longer. This time, he aimed to pierce towards Lin Zisheng’s body. The nails had a sheen of black light, which obviously would not be a good thing.

[System scanning, Host has found a new skill: Bloodline Suppression. Effect: Able to suppress being with lower bloodlines for a short time, making them unable to move. Do Host want to equip this skill?]

“Yes!” At this moment, Lin Zisheng also can feel the opponent’s killing intent. Hence, the skill 001 found is undoubtedly very helpful to their situation, and could greatly increase their chances of survival.

[Skill equipping. Starting count down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.]

At the moment when 001’s voice ended, a powerful pressure burst out from Lin Zisheng’s body, causing the surrounding ghosts to involuntarily stop in their tracks and doesn’t dare to move. At this moment, they have a feeling that if anyone recklessly moved, they will be crushed to pieces by this pressure in the next moment.

“Your bloodline…” The powerful pressure made the evil spirit feel suffocated. After many years of death, he once again experienced the feeling of suffocation. At this time, he realized that he has underestimated this weak-looking soul. “You actually managed to activate your bloodline?! That’s impossible!”

Although the evil spirit can sense that Lin Zisheng’s body had the ‘true dragon’ bloodline, it was very thin, and there was no possibility of activation at all. However, this pressure as well as the aura that one cannot ignore, made the evil spirit understood that even though Lin Zisheng’s bloodline had not been fully activated, at least he can already able to use it proficiently.

Lin Zisheng didn’t answer the evil spirit’s question and just looking at him coldly. The golden light between his palms became stronger and stronger, and the evil spirit felt like even his hands are slowly melting in the golden light.

“Hmph, this Ghost Elder will let you go first today. One day, all of you will become my food!” After throwing some harsh words, the evil spirit struggled all his might to break free from Lin Zisheng’s pressure and escape. The evil spirit understood that if he doesn’t escape now, he might not have another chance to do so later.

After the evil spirit left, Zhang Daoling heard a light ‘kacha’ sound from his chest pocket. Then, Lin Zisheng’s original translucent figure became fainter, and it seemed that he might disappear into thin air at any time…

No, maybe it’s not that they are turning a blind eye on him. Instead, they are waiting for those people who have hurt him before to share his flesh and blood.

“I’m sorry.” Zhang Daoling seemed to feel that he has asked a question that shouldn’t be asked. The deep sadness on Lin Zisheng felt real and he is not pretending.

“Ah, you don’t need to apologize. Actually, I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I don’t know how long I will struggle in the endless darkness.” A pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. It is clearly a bright smile but paired with Lin Zisheng’s face, it brought out a bit of evil instead.

Taking a glance at the person with sincere gratitude, Zhang Daoling touched the pouch in his shirt pocket. There is a section of Ying Qingxuan’s bone in it. Ying Qingxuan is able to leave that dark place because he is wearing the pouch by his side. Perhaps it is the right decision to bring him out.

“Dao Ling, are you eating alone again?” The warm atmosphere stiffened due to a sudden voice, and Zhang Daoling’s expression that had just eased up tightened again.

“I like to be quiet.” Zhang Daoling lowered his eyelids to block the disgust in his eyes.

Perhaps for Bai Manman, Zhang Daoling is her savior. So she hopes to be by his side to help him and in order to repay his favor. But for Zhang Daoling, this person is big trouble. She doesn’t know her place and is simply a hindrance to his work; a standard example of a pig teammate. That is why Zhang Daoling really wants to stay away from her if he can.

“Yeah, I know. I know you like to be quiet.” Though she said this, Bai Manman didn’t mean to leave at all. She sat not far from Zhang Daoling and said, “I’m here to accompany you.”

Lin Zisheng has been floating around them. When he heard that, he turned his head and snickered with his back to the 2 people. This Bai Manman is really ‘too confident’. How could she be so sure that Zhang Daoling is lying about wanting to be quiet? Although many of his classmates heard the rumor that Zhang Daoling is a Taoist priest, not everyone would shun him because of this rumor. In the end, it’s just Zhang Daoling’s personality that he is not good with crowds and is unwilling to get along with others. It’s unknown what Bai Manman thought of, she simply assumed that Zhang Daoling is ostracized by others. That’s why he had to hide in a place where no one is around.

Looking at the person beside him, Zhang Daoling’s disgust in his heart became more obvious. Finally, he couldn’t bear it and quickly finished the rest of his food. Then he put away the lunch box and prepared to leave.

“Eh? Daoling, where are you going? I’ll accompany you.” Seeing Zhang Daoling is about to leave, Bai Manman quickly put away her lunch box and got up to catch up, but was frozen by his cold eyes.

“I said, I want to be quiet. Can you not bother me?”

Zhang Daoling’s eyes looked cold. He only glanced at Bai Manman, but she didn’t dare to move a step. “I, I just want to be there for you.” Bai Manman looked at Zhang Daoling’s cold eyes and felt very wronged. She just didn’t want to see him feel sad because of others’ ostracization. Is that wrong? She added, “I don’t want you to be alone.”

“Miss Bai, don’t take things for granted, he has never felt lonely.” Before Zhang Daoling can say anything, Lin Zisheng spoke first. He said it with a somewhat joke-like frivolous tone, but it’s exactly what Zhang Daoling thought.

“Dao Ling, is that true?” After hearing Lin Zisheng’s explanation, Bai Manman’s eyes turned red. What does he mean? Is he saying she is nosy?

“It’s fine if you understand.” Zhang Daoling is too lazy to explain. After saying this, he hurriedly left the rooftop. Anyway, there is no class in the afternoon. He can find a quiet place where there is no one and rest for a while. He can see Bai Manman’s face every day, and it’s tiring him!

“You really don’t have pity for the lady.” Lin Zisheng slowly mumbled after they left Bai Manman’s sight as if he is accusing that Zhang Daoling to be heartless. Obviously, he has ‘forgotten’ that he participated in bullying Bai Manman too just now.

“In my eyes, there is no difference between a woman and a female ghost,” Zhang Daoling’s voice is faint as if he is explaining something insignificant, “No, maybe it should be said that women are more terrifying than female ghosts.”

After a person dies, only the instinct left is to survive, but a living person has countless desires. In order to realize their desires, they can do anything.

“Saying such words, be careful that you can’t get a wife in the future.” Lin Zisheng curled his lips and looked at Zhang Daoling with a little scrutiny.

After Zhang Daoling reached the edge of the forest, he slowed down and walked at the usual speed.

“En… this noble one will take back what I said just now. You actually know to be thoughtful.” Only now that Lin Zisheng understood why Zhang Daoling is walking so fast just now.

Although Lin Zisheng is not afraid of the sun that much, he is a ghost after all. He still feels uncomfortable staying under the sun for a long time. He didn’t say anything but Zhang Daoling still noticed his discomfort.

“You are very strong.” Zhang Daoling looked at Lin Zisheng earnestly, “Ghosts are yin being and cannot stay under the sun. If one wants to walk under the sun, then they will have to take countless life. But your body doesn’t have karma or vengeance.”

This is also the reason Zhang Daoling chose to keep the ghost. For a ghost without any vengeance and karma to survive a long thousand years. This is an incredible thing.

“Perhaps it is also a kind of despair.” Lin Zisheng stared at the sunlight not far away, his whole figure shrouded with endless desolation. “If even the sunlight can’t end my life, doesn’t that sound sorrowful?”

[Host-daren…] Feeling that Lin Zisheng’s mood is not right, 001 climbed out of its space and looked at him carefully.

Due to the male lead of this world has a pair of yin yang eyes that can see things that ordinary people can’t see, 001 has been careful not to appear in front of Zhang Daoling, in order to avoid being seen. Although it is reasonable to say that the yin yang eyes shouldn’t be able to see the system, who can tell for sure?

“I’m fine, it’s just that I suddenly kind of understand why Ying Qingxuan has become so weak.” Lin Zisheng sighed a little, “If he really wanted to, not only he can survive being imprisoned, but even become the most powerful evil spirit. But his arrogance of being a horned dragon makes him unwilling to fall into the dark side, even if he will disappear!”

“Is being alone lonely?” Zhang Daoling asked these words without knowing what he said, looking at the person standing still in the air for a long time without responding.

“What is loneliness?” Lin Zisheng chuckled and looked back at Zhang Daoling, “There is no light, no sound, no time passing, nothing. Even thinking slowly stagnates so how do one can feel lonely like that?”

Lin Zisheng’s words are not exaggerated at all, because he also deeply experienced that feeling. Although it is not a long time, it is enough for Lin Zisheng to remember the feeling for the rest of his life.

As soon as these words came out, both of them fell silent and stayed quietly until the sun sets westward. However, today’s sky seemed a bit strange. In the western sky, an orange-yellow sun is slowly setting. Just that the outermost part of the sun looks like a circle of greenish-black light, making people feel very uncomfortable.

“What’s… that?” Although there is only a thin layer of the green-black light, the layer constantly changes its shape, and the feeling is like… ghosts!

Yes, it’s like the ghosts that come out in the middle of the night to scare passers-by in various forms. But the sun is the best thing to restrain ghosts. No matter how powerful a ghost is, it is impossible to form a greenish-black film around the sun.

[Host-daren, friendly reminder, today is Zhongyuan Festival.] 001 spoke out to remind Lin Zisheng what day is today.

As soon as Lin Zisheng heard that, he immediately understood what 001 means. Zhongyuan Festival, the 15th day of the 7th lunar month, and also known as the Ghost Festival. According to legend, the gate of the ghost realm opens on July 15th. Ghosts in hell can freely enter the mortal world on this day. This day is when the yang energy is the weakest in the world. Even the sun’s damage to ghosts is not so strong.

[Host-daren, it’s best to remind the male lead that today is the Zhongyuan Festival. Ghosts hated exorcists/Heavenly Master the most. Today is the day when exorcists’ yang energy is the weakest and the ghost spirit is the strongest. If the male lead does not return to his dorm before dark, he is very likely to be caught by the ghosts!] At this moment, 001’s voice sounded a bit anxious. If Zhang Daoling died early, the world might collapse!

Lin Zisheng understood what 001 meant and his pupils shrank in realization. He anxiously said, “Ah Ling, hurry back to the dormitory, today is the Zhongyuan Festival!”

Lin Zisheng’s anxiousness stunned Zhang Daoling. However, at the next moment, he understood what is going on and his expression turned ugly.

There have been too many things happening in the past few days so he has forgotten the Zhongyuan Festival. Looking around at his surrounding, Zhang Daoling’s expression got worse. He is surrounded by trees and the sunshine here is not enough all year round. If he is even a bit slower to leave the place, it may be really over for him!

Zhang Daoling quickly running towards the dormitory, but not sure why, the sun seems to set extremely fast today. The sun was originally slightly westward but now, half of the sun has fallen below the horizon. Zhang Daoling estimates that he will have difficulty returning to the dorm before the sun sets!

“Ah Ling, hurry up!” Obviously, Lin Zisheng hasn’t given up yet. He is constantly urging Zhang Daoling, the anxiousness in his tone is more obvious now.

Suddenly, Zhang Daoling stood still on the spot, motionless.

“Ah Ling, what are you hesitating for? Go back quickly!”

“It’s too late.” Zhang Daoling’s voice is the usual bland tone. He slowly lowered his head and silently stared at his feet.

Lin Zisheng is taken aback by Zhang Daoling’s movements. Then his gaze fell on his feet. In an instant, he understood why Zhang Daoling stopped moving. Because there’s a ghost claw on his feet.

Lin Zisheng blinked and looked at this girl who is shyly looking at him with blushing cheeks. A strong disdain flashed deep in his eyes. If they are following the progress of the plot, this Bai Manman should already have a good impression of Zhang Daoling at this moment. Then why is she looking at him(LZS) like a blushing maiden?

[Host-daren, the information given by the main system is only the general direction of the world/plot and not the exact progress.] 001 seemed to sense Lin Zisheng’s thoughts so it explained to him.

Although the main system understands everything in this world, it can’t narrow it down to everyone specifically, especially concerning emotions.

[Moreover, the perspective of each world is from the perspective of the female lead.]

Hearing that, Lin Zisheng finally understood the off feeling he felt after experiencing 2 worlds. According to the information given to him by 001, although the white lotus in every world is not likable, they will not end in a tragic end. But in reality, the white lotus he saw is much more disgusting than the information given! Right now, he understood that the information given by 001 is entirely from the perspective of the white lotus. Hence, there won’t be any too negative information about the female lead, so it will inevitably be somewhat different from what he sees.

“Are you really… a ghost?” Although Lin Zisheng’s transparent body could be seen through the candlelight, Bai Manman still couldn’t believe it, because it was the first time she saw such a beautiful ghost.

Lin Zisheng did not say anything but continued to float in the air; staring at the two people indifferently.

Just when Bai Manman wanted to say something, Zhang Daoling spoke first, “Why are you here, and how long have you stayed here?”

“I don’t remember.” Lin Zisheng’s voice sounded a little low. It echoes in this somewhat empty place, “Really… it’s been too long.”

After Zhang Daoling heard such words, a slight emotion flashed on his face. He could feel that what this ‘person’ said is true because the sadness on his body is truly undeniable.

“Have you ever thought of leaving here?” Perhaps it is because of the dead-like loneliness from this ‘person’, Zhang Daoling relaxed his guard and subconsciously asked this question.

Lin Zisheng blinked after hearing the question. With a bitter smile on his face, he replied, “I have no way to leave…”

The slightly sad voice made Zhang Daoling and Bai Manman feel a touch of pitifulness in their hearts.

…

Early in the morning, the sun shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Lin Zisheng stared at the young man lying on the bed who had not yet woken up, with a smile on his face. This is Zhang Daoling’s bedroom. The layout inside is very similar to that of his(ZDL) personality. It is clean, simple, and has a very direct feeling, but it doesn’t make people feel uncomfortable. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Lin Zisheng still felt a little amused. Exorcist and ghost are on opposing sides to each other. Yet, this person decided to take him in after hearing what he said. Didn’t he know that the yin aura emitted from a ghost could erode humans’ souls?

[Host-daren, Zhang Daoling’s body is very special. He has an innately pure yang body that no evil things can approach.] 001 is very sure about this because this kind of bloodline can be redeemed in the points shop.

“Are you trying to say that I’m actually not a ghost?” Lin Zisheng floated to Zhang Daoling’s side, lying in front of the bed with both his hands on his chin. Then he stared intently at the person who is still sleeping.

As expected of the male lead, his appearance is really exquisite. He doesn’t appear to be feminine at all even though his appearance is exquisite. It is a kind of handsomeness that is mixed with a soft feeling, which makes people feel very comfortable at first glance.

Perhaps because Lin Zisheng’s gaze is too ‘hot’, the sleeping Zhang Daoling couldn’t stand the strength of that gaze, and slowly opened his eyes. Just that he saw an enlarged face after he opened his eyes and it shocked him.

“You, why are you here?!” Daoling usually slept alone, so to see a big face suddenly appearing in front of him, it is a miracle that he didn’t get scared to some mental illness.

“You brought this noble one back yesterday.” Lin Zisheng blinked. His eyes are full of innocence as if to say, it was you who brought me back so why are you asking me such a question?

Zhang Daoling pinched his eyebrows. Of course he knew that he brought this person back, but the question is, “Why didn’t you go to sleep? Don’t you know that people scaring people will lead them to their death?”

What Zhang Daoling couldn’t think of is that after he finished saying this, a sad expression slowly appeared on Lin Zisheng’s face. Then he replied after a moment, “This noble one… hasn’t experienced how it feels like to sleep for a long time.”

Unlike people, ghosts don’t need to sleep. To them, sleep is an extravagant experience.

At this time, Zhang Daoling had understood his mistake and wanted to say something to remedy it. But he realized that no matter what he says, it seemed so powerless. And so, after Zhang Daoling cleaned up the room and ate breakfast, he hurried to the classroom. To Zhang Daoling’s expectation, the person who had been asking for trouble with him did not come today.

“Daoling, morning.” Not long after Zhang Daoling entered the classroom, Bai Manman also walked into the classroom, “You…”

“Ying Qingxuan.” As if knowing that Bai Manman hadn’t remembered his name, Lin Zisheng repeatedly his name to her.

“Qingxuan, morning.” Hearing Lin Zisheng’s answer, Bai Manman narrowed her eyes and smiled. Receiving a reply from him made her feel very happy.

Bai Manman’s appearance is very good, at least it’s a bit better than Bai Wei from the previous world. So when she smiled, she looked even more beautiful, making everyone in the classroom look at her. Some are to admire her beauty, but more is to stare at her in fear.

Just now…who is Bai Manman greeting?

At this moment, many people recall Bai Manman’s nickname – Ghost-eyed Witch. According to many people, they said that Bai Manman seems to be able to see ghosts. So… was she saying hello to a ghost just now? Thinking of this, everyone started to feel uncomfortable. To think that there are ghosts in the classroom in broad daylight. This, this is simply too terrifying!

Just as everyone is whispering about the presence of ghosts in the classroom, a person walked in from the door. It’s the person who had been at odds with Zhang Daoling. Today, as soon as he entered the door, he heard people talking about strange things. In his heart, he believed that all this are just Zhang Daoling’s act of sensationalism. Hence, he felt disdainful and asked, “Master Zhang, what is it today? You brought a ghost to class?”

Hearing the familiar voice and tone, Zhang Daoling wanted to ignore it as usual. He has seen so many people talking to him like this. The more he argues back, the more intense the other party will be. The best way is to deal with it coldly, to exude a strong feeling from the heart that says ‘I don’t want to have anything to do with you, so stay away from me’.

Lin Zisheng on the side is staring at the stupid-looking bitter man in amusement and mourned for him in his heart. Didn’t he know that the exorcist in this world is the least person to provoke? Although they are low-key, it doesn’t mean that they have no means to do something to other people.

“Ah Ling, don’t you want to teach that person a lesson?” When Lin Zisheng saw Zhang Daoling looking resigned, he started to doubt whether Zhang Daoling is a Holy father?

“There is no need to pay attention to this kind of clown,” Zhang Daoling said. After hesitating a few minutes, he then added, “If you want to play, he’s yours as long as you don’t kill or cause permanent disablement on him.”

Come to think about it, Zhang Daoling is indeed annoyed to see this person yapping around!

In class, everyone is sitting in their seats. Only one person is floating in the air, looking at the bitter man with serious disdain. The person’s yang qi is almost gone, and the aura on his body is quite chaotic. Obviously, he is no longer a virgin. Moreover, having more than one person’s aura on his body made Lin Zisheng understand that this person’s private life should be quite rotten.

For Lin Zisheng, dealing with such a person couldn’t be easier. He doesn’t even have to do anything terrible. He just floated beside the man for a while, and then blew a ghostly breath. Although ghost energy does not kill people, it has a very interesting effect which is to make people suffer from bad luck. It’s the kind where even drinking water can get something stuck at your teeth, or a simple fart can cause one to sprain their waist. In short, it is very unlucky.

Zhang Daoling raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the thin black air pervading the bitter man. It seemed that this ghost that he brought back is not simple. Normal ghosts can’t control to that degree when they use ghost qi, but Lin Zisheng can master it very well. That little ghost qi can both teach the man some lesson but at the same time, he wouldn’t be able to find out that his bad luck is caused by ghosts.

All in all, right now both Lin Zisheng and Zhang Daoling only need to watch the show.

Finally, after the whole morning, Zhang Daoling fully understood the extent of the effect brought by the so-called bad luck. During the lunch break, one person and one ghost went to the rooftop to eat lunch.

“Ying Qingxuan, how did you die?” Zhang Daoling asked while eating lunch.

For a ghost, it is very impolite to ask them how they died. So after Zhang Daoling asked the question, his heart was full of regret. It is very cruel to make someone who has died to recall how they died. However, to his surprise, Lin Zisheng slowly replied after a short moment of silence, “Actually, I can’t remember things as it has been so long ago. My only memory is being locked in that small box. In here, I was sealed and motionless. In that environment, how could I still remember things so far away?”

Truth to be told, Lin Zisheng didn’t lie as he is speaking out the emotions from the real Ying Qingxuan’s heart. Because people are greedy for his flesh and blood, he was caught. His nerves were pulled out, his skin was peeled, and then he was sealed in a tied box. As for other people, no one bother to help.

Contrary to Lin Zisheng’s expectation, Zhang Daoling did not appear immediately but only came half a month later to his sealed house-now the famous haunted house. That’s right, now. Just half a month ago, only sages could feel that there seemed to be something ghostly lingering there, but in just half a month, Lin Zisheng turned this place into a haunted house. Originally, from it outside it only looked like a slightly dated residence. However, the house is now covered in a ghostly aura. Let alone at night, even when the sun is shining during the day, passers-by will speed up their pace, for fear of something unclean will attach to them.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Daoling came to this “haunted house”. Of course, Bai Manman is also with him.

“Dao, Daoling, let’s not go in, okay?” Bai Manman hid behind Zhang Daoling, clutching his clothes hard while looking at the legendary ‘haunted house’ with tears swimming in her eyes. She looked like she is ready to flee at any time.

“Go back if you are afraid.” Looking at Bai Manman like this, Zhang Daoling frowned. He came here today not to play, but to work. From the beginning, he already said that this place will be haunted, but Bai Manman insists on following.

“Yes, I’m sorry, I… I’m just a little scared, but it’s okay,” Bai Manman took a deep breath and tried to show a smile. But her condition doesn’t look good now, and her face is as pale as paper.” I’ll get used to it in a while. I, I am your assistant, right?”

Since Zhang Daoling rescued Bai Manman once, in order to repay him, she desperately restrained her fear and became his assistant; hoping to help him. But what Bai Manman didn’t know was that her presence is practically useless to Zhang Daoling. Although he didn’t like cowardly people, he dislikes ignorant people more. In Zhang Daoling’s eyes, Bai Manman is obviously the one who has no self-knowledge and will only hinder him. Sure enough, after Bai Manman followed Zhang Daoling into the house, she hid behind him and firmly grasped his clothes. Although Bai Manman tried her best to restrain her fear, her body still trembled slightly.

“Go outside and wait.” At least Zhang Daoling won’t have to worry about what trouble she will cause him later.

It is not the first time that Zhang Daoling has taken Bai Manman to catch ghosts, so he is extremely familiar with her ability to hold him back. As long as she stays by his side, there is a very high chance that the difficulty of the task will increase. Sometimes Zhang Daoling will sarcastically mocked internally that it’s fortunate that he is an exorcist and not a tomb robber. Otherwise, if he takes her to a tomb, he might be able to enjoy the luxury package of ‘If there’s a coffin, something must rise from within’.

“Daoling, I’m really fine, I just… want to help you.”

Finally, Bai Manman tried hard to restrain her inner fear and walked out from behind Zhang Daoling. She carefully followed him and walked forward slowly. Staring at the man’s back in front of her, Bai Manman’s eyes flashed with a firm look. She must overcome her fears and must help Daoling! Bai Manman has a secret that she has never told anyone, not even her parents. The only person in the world who knows her secret is Zhang Daoling. Bai Manman is afraid of ghosts not only because she is timid, but also because she can really see ghosts.

She was born prematurely. She is supposed to born in mid-May, but was prematurely delivered in early April. It happened to be during Qingming Festival too. Born weak and arrived at the world on such an inauspicious day, Bai Manman naturally could see those ghostly things. Even after she is an adult, Bai Manman can still vaguely see things that others can’t. And her physique is more likely to attract the coveting of ghosts.

Just as the two people were walking forward one after another, a gust of cloudy wind blew up. Although it is still noon at this moment and the sun is still hanging in the sky, there’s no more warmth left.

“Hihihihi, our distinguished guest is at the door, so we should invite them in.”

Just when Bai Manman shuddered from the wind, a woman’s sharp laughter sounded. The voice is sharp and it pierced into their eardrums. Bai Manman then realized that unbeknownst to her, a line of people is standing not far in front, no, it is a line of ghosts!

“AHHH! Ther.. there is…” Bai Manman couldn’t help the fear in her heart anymore and scream.

“Shut up!” Zhang Daoling couldn’t contain his anger anymore. Although these ghosts appeared abruptly, he could still feel that the other party is not malicious. However, Bai Manman screamed out loud so he doesn’t know how much trouble it will cause.

“I’m… I’m sorry.” After being frightened by the ghost and getting shouted at by Zhang Daoling, Bai Manman’s eyes have turned red. She didn’t want to be afraid, but the appearance of those ghosts is really scary!

The leader female ghost in red looked like she was severely split by something from the left side of her neck, and the squirming internal organs are visible. The skin of the 2nd male ghost had all been stripped off, leaving only bright red muscles. The 3rd female ghost’s neck was chopped off in half, and her severed head shook with her movements. The 4th, 5th… until the 7th, and this 7th ghost can no longer be distinguished its gender. ‘He’ seems to have died in a car accident, and left only a pool of squirming flesh and blood. How could Bai Manman, who is originally timid, not scream when she saw this scene?

“Hee hee, our Lord is waiting for you in the inner room. Dear distinguished guests, please come with me.” The female ghost who had just spoken earlier said to the two people again and then walked in front, leading them towards the inner room.

Red clothing… laughing ghost, this ghost is generally fierce. What kind of ‘person’ can control such a fierce spirit?

On their way to the inner room, Zhang Daoling and Bai Manman could thoroughly experience the feeling of seeing a flurry of demons. Originally Zhang Daoling thought that there are only a few ghosts here, but now he realized that he thought it too positively. He doesn’t know why there are so many ghosts gathered here. Although they are obediently ‘working’ here now, there is no guarantee that the ghosts will always be content with the status quo. If they want to do anything, it will be a catastrophe for mankind!

“Hehe, my lord is inside. Dear guests, please.” The female ghost has a smile on her face, but her tone is extraordinarily tough. Zhang Daoling knows that if they don’t go in obediently, then today they will end up becoming a member of this haunted house.

“Daoling, I’m afraid.” The closer Bai Manman gets to the door, the more frightened Bai Manman is. Now her heart is full of regret. She should have waited outside just now.

Of course, Zhang Daoling ignored Bai Manman’s words completely. Taking a deep breath, Zhang Daoling pushed the door and walked in, and Bai Manman followed. Just after entering the room, everything inside surprised both of them. Because this room is completely different from what they had imagined. They originally thought that after opening the door, they would see a ghostly dark room with no sunlight. Instead, they saw a completely different scene. No, maybe this place can no longer be called a room, but a space.

What they see is a huge lake. A covered bridge curved several times and finally reached a pavilion in the middle of the lake. In the pavilion, sits a white-clothed man. The man’s head is lowered and his fingertips are gently strumming the strings of the guqin. Although they couldn’t see his face clearly, the elegance emitted from the man’s body made the two understand that this man will not be any commoner.

“What a beautiful person.” Perhaps because Bai Manman didn’t see the horrible scene that she imagined, she has relaxed a little. And at this moment, she even got attracted by the graceful figure.

“No matter who your Excellency is, since you have invited us, should you show us your true face?”

Unlike Bai Wei, Zhang Daoling knew that he had fallen into the opponent’s illusion at the moment he entered the room. Everything he sees now is not real.

After hearing Zhang Daoling’s words, the man in white chuckled and raised his head. In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to have collapsed, shattered to powder. After a while, Zhang Daoling found himself in a dark room. The only thing that can illuminate the room seems to be the 2 joss sticks on the table. With the help of the faint light of the joss stick, Zhang Daoling looked around in the room. This room seemed to be extraordinarily empty. There’s only a pinewood table placed against the wall with a pair of joss sticks burning on it. Apart from that, there’s a red sandalwood box in the middle of the joss stick. The box is not big, about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide, but it feels unusually heavy. And hovering above the box is a human figure that is flickering slightly.

The person simply floated in the air like this, as if he is not afraid to scare the people. He rested one hand on his cheek, while his other hand pinched a lock of long hair and gently circled it with his fingertips. The person’s demeanor looked lazy and comfortable. His pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed. His thin lips are pressed lightly, but the corners of his mouth are curved in a shallow arc. The smile is not deep, but it gave people a sense of rebelliousness.

“Who are you?” Looking at the extraordinarily enchanting man, Zhang Daoling’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper. Especially when he saw the flamboyant red dress on the man’s body, the guard in his heart rose to the highest alert. Ghost with red clothing is usually a fierce spirit. Although this person looked lazy and comfortable, he is by no means simple!

“This noble one is Ying Qingxuan.” Lin Zisheng said lazily while looking at the young man and the woman behind him. His eyebrows are raised high, are these two the male and female lead?

They seem… very interesting.

Sensing Lin Zisheng’s inner thoughts, 001 silently lit a total of 512 extra-large flame-resistant candles for the two leads in its heart.

001: Hehe, 3 seconds of silence for these 2 poor sap. Anyone who arouses the interest of its host-daren is out of the luck!

“So beautiful…” Bai Manman, who had been hiding behind Zhang Daoling, is full of admiration after seeing Lin Zisheng. She originally thought that ghosts are all very eerie-looking and terrifying, but she did not expect that there are such beautiful ghosts.

And after seeing this scene, 001 couldn’t help but once again lit a row of candles for the poor female lead in its heart. Foolish human, don’t you know that beautiful flowers are either filled with thorns or poisonous?

After the Ghost Elder disappeared, the young man who fell on the ground finally gained enough strength to get up. With shaky hands, he took out an inch-long object from his arms. After the light dissipated, it turned into a golden coin sword that is about 2 feet long.

“I am saved by you again.” The young man slowly spoke while looking at the golden coin sword in his hand. His tone was low, but carrying a touch of familiarity; seeming to be facing an old friend.

For the young man, this golden coin sword is indeed an old friend. His parents said before that this golden coin sword has been kept with him since he was born. For so many years, it can be said that the young man grew up safe and sound due to the golden coin sword’s protection. Gently touching the body of the sword, the young man watched as the sword gradually shrink. After the sword turned into a pendant again, the young man swiftly left. As for the platform, someone would come to help him deal with it.

…

“Zhang Daoling, Master Zhang, you went to catch ghosts again last night? Why are you so listless?” A spiteful voice sounded behind the young man.

The young man called Zhang Daoling turned to glance at the man and he sneered in his heart. This man’s ophryon (area between eyebrows) is dark, so the man will surely get entangled with misfortune these days. Looking at the shade of the darkness, Zhang Daoling afraid the man’s bad luck will not stop unless blood is shed. He doesn’t need to bother to pay attention to such a person.

But Zhang Daoling’s reluctance to engage does not mean that the person will stop talking. The man even increases his ridicule when he saw that Zhang Daoling is not saying anything, “Master Zhang, you need to know how to be a person, and only clowns like to do things like grandstanding (behaving in a showy manner)!”

At this moment, a petite girl ran in from outside, “Dao, Daoling, there’s a letter for you!”

The girl’s appearance is delicate, she has a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, round apricot eyes, a small nose, and a delicate mouth. The characteristics don’t look beautiful by themselves, but when combined, they strangely made a beauty. In addition to that, her pair of big eyes have a bit of shyness and timidness. It makes people want to protect her under their wings so that her life will be safe and smooth without any harm.

The spiteful man looked stunned as he stared at the girl running in. His eyes were full of coveting intentions. At the same time, he gets even more jealous. That Zhang Daoling is obviously someone who chase after fame and reputation. To make such a little beauty following after him and comes at his beck and call, it’s really hateful!

Taking the letter from the girl’s hand, Zhang Daoling frowned when he saw the symbol on the envelope. It turned out to be from the Association of Heavenly Masters again, which is the third time this month.

“I got it. Thank you, Bai Manman.” Although Zhang Daoling expressed his thanks, his voice is still so cold, as if Bai Manman is just a random stranger and not a beautiful girl in front of him.

“No, no need for thanks, I, I just bring it along the way.” After saying this, Bai Manman’s face showed a trace of blush and there is obvious joy in her eyes.

When the spiteful man saw this, strong indignance flashed in his eyes. Just as he is about to spout sarcasm again, Zhang Daoling raised his head and looked at the man, as if he is looking at something dead. The spiteful man even had a feeling that if he speaks now, he might really become a dead being.

While Zhang Daoling and the spiteful man secretly going against each other, Lin Zisheng and 001 on the other side are quarreling in the open.

[Ho ho ho host, this time it’s really not my fault, I, I, I, I, I don’t know how things will be like this!] 001’s voice is a little panicked, reverberating continuously in this small and dark space.

“Hehe.” Lin Zisheng didn’t answer but sneered.

You have been attacked by the host’s ‘Hehe’ attack, critical damage -100,000.

[Host-daren, you have to believe me. I really don’t know that such a thing will happen, I didn’t mean it!]

After teleporting to this world, 001 realized what a big mistake it had made. It is not known what caused the error but the time the host got transmitted is 3 years earlier than the time the plot starts. When 001 wanted to take Lin Zisheng to jump into 3 years later, it discovered that the system’s transfer function refused to start, as if they are sealed by something.

“You said that 3 years ago.” Lin Zisheng’s voice had a soft smile, but 001 did not feel relieved. After hearing this answer, 001 became even more frightened.

001: Host-daren, please do not get blackened!

Lin Zisheng: Hehe, dream on. Die!

Truth to be told, one can’t blame Lin Zisheng for making a fuss at 001 because 3 years is really not short. No matter who gets trapped forcibly, they will sure get irritable in the 3 years, especially in such a small space with no light and sound. If it weren’t for 001 is here to speak with him every day, Lin Zisheng afraid he would have suffered a nervous breakdown.

[No, host-daren, this, this time, I really found the reason.] 001 has a hunch that if it doesn’t comfort its host, its dear host-daren may really be blackened.

“Last chance.”

[According to the time we calculated, the power of the second male lead’s soul, Ying Qingxuan has almost been exhausted. It is impossible for him to keep on until the male lead is close enough which his soul will scatter by then. So, the world sent you 3 years earlier to ensure the progress of the plot when Ying Qingxuan’s soul has just begun to collapse.]

In fact, this information is not difficult to find, but the world seems to be extremely repulsive of its existence. 001 can’t contact the main system at all. If it’s not the time for the male lead to appear soon, 001 might still unable to contact the main system.

[There seems to be something that can isolate my signal transmission. So, only now I can get the answer from the main system.]

“What’s the next plot?” Because he is trapped here, Lin Zisheng has no way to change the plot in advance, for example, to advance or postpone the time the male lead meeting the female lead.

[Today, the male lead Zhang Daoling received a letter from the Association of Heavenly Masters, and he will come here to eliminate ghosts within 3 days. The female lead Bai Manman will come with him.] 001 told Lin Zisheng of the current world progress, hoping that he could make preparations early.

“Zhang Daoling?” Lin Zisheng was taken aback when he heard that name.

Although he didn’t like to read those xianxia stories, he still heard about the name Zhang Daoling before. The legendary founder of Way of the Celestial Masters (天师道), Master Daoling, don’t tell him that he’s the male lead of this world ba.

[Yes, the male lead’s name is Zhang Daoling, but whether he is the reincarnation of the founder, the main system didn’t give any answer.]

Lin Zisheng didn’t continue to ask. Right now, what he needs to solve is the task. As for who the male lead is, it has little to do with him. But, this place is also quite interesting. Although it is dark all around, Lin Zisheng can see himself and 001 clearly. His current outfit is what he wore when he left the last world, and it doesn’t seem to be very suitable in this world.

Ying Qingxuan has been sealed in this place for many years, probably because he doesn’t remember it himself; obviously, because he is an antique-level ghost. Thinking about this, Lin Zisheng’s appearance slowly changed. His androgynous face became heroic and handsome, while his short hair stretched out quickly. It didn’t stop until the length touches the ground, and his casual white shirt changed to a big red robe. Him clad in red made Lin Zisheng looked a bit devilish. The corner of his mouth is slightly curved which looks a bit flamboyant, making people feel like this person is both righteous and evil at first glance. Just that, those eyes looked clear and dazed, with a bit of confusion.

001: …

Is its host-daren equipped with some kind of strange skills?

At the moment, its host-daren has turned into Ying Qingxuan himself, the ghost was sealed for thousands of years because of his strength and wanton behavior, and gradually forgot everything. Because the time he got locked away is too long, Ying Qingxuan emptied his heart in order to protect his mind from collapsing. That’s why his mentality is like a piece of white paper; pure and ignorant.
How did its host-daren figure it out?!

“001, what exactly is this place? How did Ying Qingxuan get trapped here?” Now that 001 can connect with the main system, these questions can be answered with no problem.

[Host is now in a red sandalwood box. There is a powerful magic circle on the lid, which seals host inside. The reason why Ying Qingxuan can be sealed is because one of his rib bones is placed inside this sandalwood box.]

Ying Qingxuan’s identity is a secret in this world, but 001 managed to get the answer from the main system, which also let Lin Zisheng know how sad this antique ghost is! Although Ying Qingxuan appears human, he is not really a human being, but a horned dragon. Although he has a part of the ‘true dragon’ bloodline, he cannot turn into a true dragon. Ying Qingxuan can barely be regarded as a ‘yao’ with a nobler bloodline. Because he acted too recklessly, Ying Qingxuan was hated by many humans. In the end, he couldn’t avoid the fate of his nerves pulled out and skin peeled. In order to avoid Ying Qingxuan from coming back for revenge, even his yao soul is locked inside his rib bone and sealed in a sandalwood box. All in all, in Lin Zisheng’s heart, Ying Qingxuan is a sad and pitiful male ghost. Even now, when he became this male ghost, Lin Zisheng felt that his demeanor is not good. Staring at the red robe on his body, Lin Zisheng suddenly had a different idea. Ghosts clad in red are usually fierce ghosts. Can he also play the role of a fierce ghost and kill off the male and female leads? Then the world will be over just like this.

[Warning to the host, warning to the host, please don’t have such dangerous thoughts. Due to host being sealed for too long, right now you can only display less than 10% of your strength. If you attack the male and female leads, your soul will be obliterated immediately.]

001’s attitude is serious. It’s not to scare Lin Zisheng, but to state the facts.

After Lin Zisheng heard 001’s answer, he shrugged and didn’t look too disappointed. To be honest, 001’s answer is completely in Lin Zisheng’s expectation, but…

Although he can’t really kick the male and female lead out of the field, he can add a little trouble to them. Perhaps because the two are about to approach, the imprisonment on Lin Zisheng has become a lot lighter, as per info given by 001. Like the data said, Lin Zisheng is now able to attract wandering ghosts with his ghostly aura to add obstacles for the male and female leads.

When Lin Zisheng woke up, he found that he had returned to the white space. Exhausted, he rests on the recliner, thinking about what he had experienced in the last world. Those scenes were so real that Lin Zisheng couldn’t ever forget it, especially when he killed himself in the end.
　　
In the past, Lin Zisheng saw those scenes in TV series where the actors can run away energetically after being shot and thought it’s just a one-time pain. But after personally experiencing it, hehe, he realized that everything in the TV series is just an art after processing. Lin Zisheng even had a doubt, like what if that shot didn’t hit his vital? Will he suffer the excruciating sensation until he dies from the pain?
　　
“001, did the mission fail?” His mission was to save the white lotus. But in the end, not only he killed the white lotus, but the male lead also lost his life.
　　
[System scanning, the last world mission is being summarized…]
　　
[Scanning is over, the total number of missions in the world ‘Rebirth of the blackened white lotus’ is 4. There is 1 main mission and 3 side missions. The completion rate is 100%]
　　
Lin Zisheng was taken aback by this answer, “The mission of the last world is completed? Didn’t Bai Wei die in the end?”
　　
[I don’t know about this as I am only responsible for providing daily help to the host. The Mission completion rate is calculated by the main system.]
　　
[The following Missions are completed:
Main mission – receive 200 EXP, 500 points;
Side mission 1 – receive EXP 50, points 100,
Side mission 2 – receive EXP 50, points 100,
Side mission 3 – receive EXP 80, points 120,
Also, the completion degree for side mission 2 is 120%, so the reward is doubled. Does host accept all the mission rewards?]
　　
“Yes.” The main reason for working hard in a world is to get the rewards, of course Lin Zisheng choose yes.
　　
[All missions’ EXP are 430 and points are 920.]
　　
[The main mission has been successfully completed. A novice gift pack is rewarded. The points store is open. Does host accept the system rewards? [Y/N]]
　　
“Yes.”
　　
[Reward has been accepted. The novice gift pack contains red potion x10, blue potion x10, random teleportation amulet x5, and attribute point 5.]
　　
Hearing 001’s words, Lin Zisheng opened the system backpack. Upon checking the rewards from the system, his expression changed slightly. Because Lin Zisheng saw the comment under the red potion.
　　
[Believe in Brother Chun, get eternal life; Believe in Brother Chun, resurrect on the spot with full HP bar and with buff. Brother Chun’s life rejuvenation potion, how about going for a round, dear?]

Lin Zisheng: Hehe!
　　
And under the blue potion is written like this…
　　
[Fine steed ah, you have 4 legs; The sea ah, you are entirely water. This vast sea vitality restoring potion will let your energy surging like the raging sea, ‘going at it’ nth times a night is not a dream, dear~]
　　
As for the random teleportation amulet… Lin Zisheng really couldn’t bear to read it. He is afraid that after reading the description, he wouldn’t bear to use it!
　　
[Host, how about it? Are the things in the novice gift pack practical?] 001 flopped with its little wings and flew around Lin Zisheng. Then it continued, [These are carefully selected by me for the host yo. The novice gift pack for ordinary people is not as luxurious as yours.]
　　
Lin Zisheng: Hehe, can I beat you to death?
　　
After reading those 2 descriptions, Lin Zisheng wisely closed the system backpack. Then, he opened the points store.
　　
Way different from the deadpit novice gift pack from the system, the items in the points store are high-quality goods. There are many types of items, ranging from small items like daily snacks to large items like interstellar ships. Other than that, the store sells special items too, such as special bloodline, and cultivation techniques. It’s just that those things are obviously expensive. Looking at the long list of 0s at the price, Lin Zisheng knew that it is not something he could have now, at least for the time being he didn’t have the financial resources.
　　
[Ding Dong, you have received a short message. Please check it carefully.]
　　
Just when Lin Zisheng closed the points store’s page, 001 notified him that there is a new message.
　　
[Since you overachieve the mission in the last world, the system will give you a special reward, which is a message that is conducive to your survival in the mission world. Message – Special items obtained in each world can be taken out of the world and exchanged for points.]
　　
“Special items? What are they?” This range is too general so Lin Zisheng a little confused.
　　
[This system has received a list of special items, I will remind the host when you encounter the item in various worlds~]
　　
“If there is no problem, let’s go to the next world.” Right now, Lin Zisheng can’t stand this increasingly cute (stupid) system.
　　
[Host, please wait a moment. This system will make a final summary.]
　　
[Host Information]　　
[Name: Lin Zisheng]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 23]
[Original attribute point: 5]
[Current level: Level F]
[Current experience: 430/1500]
[Current Points: 920]
[Currently acquired skills: fighting, shooting, fighting, interrogation]
[Physique: 10+1 (mission reward)]
[Physical fitness: 10+5 (mission reward)]
[Intelligence: 10]
[Spiritual power: 10]
[Mind: 10+5 (Mission reward)]
[Power: 10]
[Agility: 10]
[Charm: 10]
[Lucky: 10]
　　
[The above are host’s information. Host can try to increase your attributes while trying to complete the mission as they will help to finish the mission easily.]
　　
Looking at his attributes, Lin Zisheng frowned. With such ordinary attributes, what if he encounters some dangerous world? Can he really survive?
　　
As if 001 could understand what Lin Zisheng is thinking now, it explained, [Host, please rest assured. The difficulty of the Mission is related to your level. Since your current level is F, then the highest level you can go to is Level F world.]
　　
Hearing this, Lin Zisheng suddenly felt that the white lotus rescue system seemed to be quite humane.
　　
“001, attribute point allocation. Physical +2, Intelligence +2, Luck +1.”

Since 001 specifically reminded him about the attribute points, it should be very useful in the future. Hence, Lin Zisheng allocated the attribute points on his body.
　　
[The distribution of attribute points is completed, the current attribute is changed]
[Physique: 10 + 1 (Mission reward) + 2 (novice gift pack)]
[Intelligence: 10 + 2 (novice gift pack)]
[Luck: 10 + 1 (novice gift pack)]
　　
After adding the attribute points, Lin Zisheng received the information about the next world from 001. This world seems to be more normal than the previous world. Well, the keyword is ‘seems’, because this time, the world… is about spirits. En… It can probably be said that the Oriental version of the movie ‘Ghost’.
　　
The male lead is a descendant of the Heavenly Master family. His yin and yang eyes can see things in both realms. The male lead saved the female lead during a time the school gets haunted. After that, the female lead worshiped the male lead very much. The female lead is a timid person, unfortunately, she has a physique that attracts ghosts. Only staying with the male lead that it is safest for the female lead.
　　
During an exorcism later on, the male lead and female lead encountered a red-clothed, disoriented male ghost who has amnesia. The female lead courageously took in the male ghost temporarily. After that, as they went through exorcism sessions one after another, the female lead becomes more and more attracted to the male lead. However, the male ghost fell in love with the female lead as well. In the final battle, he discovered that the female lead is actually a pawn of a powerful evil spirit. In the end, the male ghost sacrificed his soul and saved the life of the female lead. Unfortunately, the female lead’s soul ended up combined with the evil spirit and cannot be separated. The result is both the female lead and the evil spirit gets suppressed by the male lead in the land of extreme yang forever.
　　
“So my identity is…”
　　
[Without a doubt, you are the unlucky male ghost (Hey!) who fell in love with the female lead~]

001’s voice was so cheerful that Lin Zisheng couldn’t help feeling itchy at his hands. He grabbed the 001 flying in the sky and rolled it hard in his hand. Then, he casually throws the balled-up 001 away and said, “Read the mission.”
　　
[System scanning. There are 4 missions available to be taken. Does the host want to open the mission prompt? [Y/N]]
　　
“Yes.”
　　
[Main Mission: Change the fate of the female lead, save the female lead from being suppressed in the land of extreme yang, and endure the pain of the burning of the soul. Mission reward: 300 experience points, 800 points. However, 800 points will be deducted for failure.]
　　
[Side Mission 1: Raise positive feeling from Male Lead 1 to 80% and above. Reward: EXP 100 & 300 Points. No penalty for failure.]
　
[Side Mission 2: Raise positive feeling from Female Lead 1 to 80% and above. Reward: EXP 100 & 300 Points. No penalty for failure.]
　　
[Side Mission 3: Save Male Lead 2 from being swallowed by the evil spirit. Reward: EXP 300 & 800 points. No penalty for failure.]
　　
[Does the host accept the mission? [Y/N]]
　　
“Yes.”
　　
[We are going to the second world: The Timid and Fragile White Lotus. Host, please prepare for the transmission, 3, 2, 1——]
　　
When the mechanical sound disappeared, Lin Zisheng, who was nestled in the recliner, disappeared together.

…
　　
It’s deep in the night and the night sky is pitch black like it’s splashed with ink. The moon and the stars are not visible. In a corner of the playground, there is a moderately tall platform made with piled-up soil and a long table is placed on it. On the table are a pair of candles and a pile of yellow paper which is pressed under a mahogany sword on the right. In the middle, a Bagua mirror is placed there with a bowl of deep red liquid with a fishy smell.
　　
A young man standing at the long table, he looked like he is about 20 years old. His white casual clothes seemed out of place with the dark night. The luopan (Feng Shui compass) in his hand under the candlelight gives one an ancient and heavy feeling. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a black shadow passed in front of the young man. The young man quickly picked up a piece of yellow paper and lit it on the burning candle fire. Then he shouted, “Freeze!”
　　
The shadow froze for a moment under the youth’s order but quickly flew behind the young man at the next moment. A cold hand gripped the back of the young man’s neck, and the biting chill swept over his body through his blood vessels.

“Heh, you are a junior from the Dao of Zhengyi?” The voice behind the young man sounded. The voice carried a bit of charm, but it is more to a tyrannical hostility, “This is this Elder’s territory. Even if your senior from Mount Longhu comes, they still have to mind themselves in front of this Elder. A little junior like you wants to attack this Elder by yourselves?”

The ghost who claimed to be an Elder gradually tightened his hands, “Humph, your Yang qi is mine!”
　　
However, in the next moment, a fierce golden light appeared in front of Ghost Elder’s eyes. Under the shining light, the Ghost Elder felt his arm gradually melt and dissipate in the air.
　　
“The golden coin sword that is used by Zhang Daoling!” The Ghost Elder knew that he is no match so he made a hasty escape. Deep inside, he made up his mind to eat this junior in the future as revenge!

Banana: Hiya, I said before that I won’t translate this novel (due to the long word counts) but I can’t stand the current translator butchering the novel and keeping it behind paywall as well == So here I am, continuing the novel but I’m going to do it edited MTL style. Rest assured that Banana will make sure the meanings/idioms are correct. You won’t see America, Sri Lanka, scorpions and random nonsense. That’s for sure :3

Below is the extra for Arc 1. This was found inserted at the last chapter of Arc 3 so please take note that LZH still doesn’t know anything about Su Mo during Arc 2 or early of Arc 3. It might take some time to reach the end of Arc 3 so it’s better for me to translate this extra for Arc 1 now. That’s why, a heads up that Arc 1 will have 1 chapter extra while Arc 3 will miss 1 chapter numbering-wise.

One more thing, I want to talk about the ending for this Arc. Note that the author was not feeling very good about this Arc but he/she decided to brave on since he/she has already written and published it up to this point. Things will get better in later arcs.

If my memories didn’t fail me, Arc 1 should be the only BE (bad ending). But that aside, I need to once again stress that this novel is not as tame as ‘Quickly Wear the Mask of the Devil’. And Arc 4 is the weirdest of ‘em all. If anyone wants a suggestion, I would suggest breezing through Arc 4 with just summaries :v

===

Extra on Su Mo’s perspective (Not sweet, cautious)

My name is Su Mo. Where did this name come from? I am not sure, I only remembered my father reminded me again and again since I’m young. That ‘Mo’ represents indifference and apathy. Those in high positions (in society) do not need feelings, excessive feelings can only become a burden. If I ever did something wrong one day that is harmful to the interests of the family, he will definitely drive me out of the house. At the same time, if he did something wrong one day, I will drive him out of the house without mercy. In his eyes, the Su family is everything, and we (both me and him) are just a tool to make the Su family flourish. That’s all.

At times like these, Mother will stand behind Father and look at him with sad eyes. When I was young, I didn’t understand what it means. After I grew up, I gradually realized that Mother has feelings for Father. As I grow older, perhaps it’s because of Father’s teaching, I became more and more not understanding of feelings. However, at times like these, Mother would always call me to her room. She would hold me and cries over and over again, but never say anything. Later on, I realized that Mother acted like this because she really loved Father. Even my status in her heart is far less than my father’s. But then, she doesn’t want me to become another machine without feelings. That’s why she cried while holding me.

And the turning point for all these was that time Father got drunk. Father was obviously got schemed against, but it was settled in private in the end. However, that woman was not willing to let go of the ‘golden turtle'(rich man golden thigh). Once in 2 or 3 days, she would come to the house and make trouble with Mother. Father just closed one eye because of the Su family’s face.

It’s just that that woman is too naive, she is just an illegitimate daughter and has no benefit to Father’s business at all. How can Father divorce Mother to marry a woman who has no use to him? In the end, although things were settled, a scar has been left in Mother’s heart. Everyone sees that they have mutual respect in a marriage between the two of them. But only I know, that they are simply detached. After that time, Mother began to take part in the Father’s teaching for me.

Mother’s request is very simple. If I really want to marry someone in the future, even if it’s a business marriage for the family benefit, I need to try to love each other; don’t hurt an innocent person. And there’s one more thing, that is I can’t get intimate with anyone before I get married. Mother said, if you really loved someone, you would want to keep yourself pure for that person. You would want to make that person as your only one, no matter from which perspective.

Looking at Mother’s sad look, I nodded without thinking. Until many years later, I even felt fortunate that I promised my mother that year. Otherwise, it would be the regret of my life. Mother’s request looked very simple, but later on, I knew it’s actually difficult to do so because Father won’t allow me to do that. On the day of my 18th birthday, Father sent a girl to my bed.

That girl looked very pure and also very cute too. Even if you don’t tell me, I know that she must be clean as well. She was so clean that she probably never dated even once. But she managed to shyly took off her clothes right in front of me. Looking at her, I knew that Father must have promised her something. But I guessed that promise would be very different from what she imagined. Finally, I shook my head. Facing her pale face, I didn’t feel moved, not even the slightest. I just sat on the bed and looked at her indifferently, hoping that she could retreat. After my father’s teaching(that I don’t need emotions) for so many years, my heart has long been cold to the point that it won’t beat(emotionally) anymore. However, what I didn’t expect was the fact that she would do ‘that’. Though she was shaking, she still throws herself at me. That ‘I’m so pitiful’ face really disgusted me. A layer of goosebumps rose at the place where she touched me. In the end, I left slamming the door.

That night, I didn’t return home but went to the bar that I opened with my buddies instead. When I returned home the next day, Father nodded with satisfaction while looking at my clothes that have some folds/wrinkles on them. Then he told me that it’s alright to play around, just that I should never take anyone home. What the Su family needs are absolute assistance(from the wife’s family).

I nodded and quickly returned to my room. Taking off my clothes, I splashed hot water all over my body, finally cleaning away the disgusting feeling caused by that girl’s touch. After that, I found out that my mysophobia(Fear of uncleanliness) is getting worse. I would keep rinsing the part that came in contact with other people even though it’s a normal contact with a normal person.

As time goes by, I cannot make myself agree with Father’s thoughts anymore. At the same time, I understood that I’m not a ‘son’ in his heart but the heir of the Su family; a tool to help the Su family expand.

In order to satisfy Father, I began to act ‘fickle’. The woman around me has never stayed more than a week. Although Father is not satisfied with my actions, in his heart he thought it is better than infatuation. He is very afraid that his heir would become a coward who only likes beauty and not power.

Turning off the light, one night of body entangled together then the next morning, a wad of banknotes on the table. After that is a breakup scene. Those people who said they loved me probably never know that the person in the bed was not me. Just when I thought that I would live my life in a boring way forever, the appearance of one person broke all my calmness.

It was just a glimpse in the campus, but I felt my heart beating for the first time. I don’t care even if he is a man. I said that I won’t play men before, that was my bottom line. But right now I found out that everything becomes meaningless when facing him. No, maybe it’s incorrect to say it like that. Towards him, I don’t want to play around, I truly wanted his whole life.

I heard someone say this before, if you really fell in love with someone, everything else no longer matters. Because falling in love with that person’s soul, no matter that person is a male or female, one would be able to feel the feeling of their heart beating. At that time, I sneered at that thought. Falling in love with someone’s soul? Who can be so infatuated? But when I met that person, I also want to express my feelings once. I knew it at that moment, that person has really touched my heart. Even if one day his face is completely destroyed, I could still look at him and tell him that I love his soul. Everything else is not important.

But eventually, I found a problem. I can disregard his gender, and I can love him without caring for anything. But will he(LZH) really accept this feeling? This feeling reached its apex at my birthday party when I watched him walking slowly with a woman. I realized that I can get jealous as well, jealous that someone could stand beside him right in the open, no need to hide anything. After that, I managed to investigate his identity and knew that he is the Second Young master of the Lin family. I even faced off his Big brother in order to get nearer to him.

Facing that underground Emperor for the first time, I didn’t feel any fear. There was a feeling of boiling blood even. Though he has warned me, it has no way to stop my advance. I threatened him back instead, to get him to compromise. After his brother left, I thought I was crazy. I was poisoned with something called Lin Zisheng, if I don’t get the antidote, I might destroy everything.

After that, with his Big brother’s acquiescence, I took him to the Christmas ball. Looking at the woman called Bai Wei confessing to him, I finally couldn’t help it and did something very regretful. Under the impulse, I confessed to him. Seeing his angry expression after he heard my confession, I experienced the feeling of regret for the first time. I even felt fear, fearing that he will never care about me anymore after I have revealed my feelings. But the result was a bit better than I thought. Although I was beaten blue by him, I still felt very happy. At least this means he will not hide from me anymore in the future.

Then, the relationship between me and him finally got closer. Just when I thought I could finally reap the harvest, Father called me home. He knew about me and Zisheng and ordered me to stay away from him. I know that he actually wanted to make Zisheng completely disappear, just that he was unable to do so due to Zisheng’s identity. So he thought to fix this from my side.

My answer must have exceeded his expectations because I saw his disbelief face the moment he heard me rejecting him. More than two decades of obedience made him thought that he had me in his hands, and now, my resistance left him unable to adapt. He even wanted to evict me from the family. However, he did not know that such threats were of no use to me anymore as I have started my own business a long time ago. ‘A crafty rabbit has three burrows’, he was the one who taught me this but he has forgotten about this himself.

The thing that happened next made me very agitated. That woman called Bai Wei dared to d.r.ug Zisheng, she really doesn’t know life and death! In the end, I didn’t get to take action but with Zisheng’s big brother settling the matter, it should be more than satisfactory ba.

Just that when I thought this time I could finally reap the harvest, Bai Wei appeared again. Looking at the car that is about to hit Zisheng, I don’t know how I rushed over but when I was hit by the car, I didn’t feel any pain. I even felt somewhat glad, because I could finally protect him. It’s also at that time that I realized that there really someone out there who could let me give up everything, including my own life.

…………

Looking at the slightly dilapidated wooden doors in front of me, I gently pushed it open and as expected, saw the smiles of two old people.

“Xiao Mo ah, we are bothering you again. That child Xiao Sheng is really something, letting you run here and there for so many years. It’s really hard for you.”

Although they were saying Zisheng being bad, I could still feel the joy in the elders’ voice. These two old people are Zisheng’s grandparents, and Zisheng grew up in this place. Of course, this was what Lin Zifeng told me. After knowing about it, I would always come to visit the elders during the holiday season. At the same time, I would look at the place where Zisheng used to live in.

After putting away the gifts to the elders, I went to the room he stayed in according to my memory. His room is just like his person himself, carried a thick sense of indifference and yet, inadvertently carries a temperature that would warm people’s hearts.

“Xiao Mo, I knew you would go to Xiao Sheng’s room again. Let’s go, we go down to eat ba.”

Grandpa saw me standing dazedly in the room and patted my shoulder.

“Grandpa, I’m not eating. Zisheng is still waiting for me to go back.” I shook my head.

Actually, I don’t want to leave City A at all if it wasn’t necessary. Because leaving City A means leaving Zisheng.

Hearing what I said, Grandpa became silent. After a long while, he said to me with tears in his eyes, “Xiao Mo ah, it’s already 10 years. Xiao Sheng has been dead for 10 years. I have always known about this but looking at your happy expression, I don’t know how to say it out. But child, it’s already 10 years. You have done enough, don’t trap yourself forever in your memories.”

“Grandpa, I am leaving first. I will come to see you next time.” I went away like I’m escaping when I heard what Grandpa said.

It’s already 10 years. In the past 10 years, no one dared to tell me that Zisheng is gone. I tried hard to live like how I used to live. Preparing two sets of servings during meal, leaving half of the bed out when I go to sleep. Everything was as if Zisheng was still there, sometimes I could even feel Zisheng is around me. However, today Grandpa said it to my face that my beloved person is no longer here. The person I am willing to give my life for is gone. Doesn’t that means… the meaning of my life is gone?

When I returned to City A, it’s already afternoon and the sky was drizzling. For the first time ever, I went to the cemetery. I want to see Zisheng. For 10 years, I have been deceiving myself. I didn’t come even once to see him, not sure if he would be angry with me?

“You came?”

Lin Zifeng was a bit stunned to see me at the cemetery, “You finally can face the reality?”

I didn’t answer his question, I just glanced at him and let him leave because right now I want to be alone with Zisheng. Lin Zifeng seems to understand my intention very well, he pulled the Lin Zihui who was reluctant to leave with him, and left. Right now, I am the only one left in the cemetery. I stood in front of Zisheng’s grave and suddenly felt a little cold and a little lonely. And Zisheng has been staying here alone for 10 years, will his loneliness becomes even stronger?

Everyone thought I won’t wake up from the accident 10 years ago, and I laid in bed for 2 whole years without knowing anything. However, when I woke up, I found out that the whole world has changed. And the person I have been desperately trying to save has left this world. Lin Zifeng told me that Zisheng killed himself for my love but I never thought to have Zisheng do that for me. I gave my everything to save him not for his gratitude, but just so that he won’t die with me. And I also hoped that he could live on well, even if I won’t be able to accompany him in the future.

When I first received the news, I cannot accept it at all. To the point that I keep deceiving myself for the next 8 years; lying to myself that Zisheng is still alive.

“Zisheng, I have come to see you. I haven’t seen you for such a long time, are you angry with me?”

Looking at the photo on the tombstone, and that pair of bright eyes, I suddenly felt like Zisheng has always stayed at my side, never left at all.

“Sorry ah, I keep forgetting that you are gone because I always had the feeling that you are by my side. I couldn’t even feel the time passing by. When I woke up from it, it’s already 10 years later.”

“Now I am getting old and ugly, not sure if you could still recognize me?”

I tried my best to smile but my tears couldn’t stop flowing down, “I was originally older than you. Now I’m much older than you, will you despise me? But even if you despised me, you are not allowed to throw me aside. Because in this world, I have nothing else except you.”

“Zisheng, I will go to accompany you now. So, don’t be angry anymore. Even if you are angry, it’s fine to give me a beating. Just don’t be like now, you have been hiding for 10 years and not let me find you.”

I aimed the muzzle at my temple. Lin Zifeng said it before, that Zisheng killed himself just like that with a gunshot in the temple. Right now, to be able to use the gun he used before, and die the same way as he did, it’s already the greatest happiness to me…

(QAQ)/

Although he doesn’t understand why Lin Zisheng said those words, Su Mo nodded to promise him. Indeed, just like what Lin Zisheng said, there are things that you don’t have to do it yourself. Many times, he just needs to say the word and a lot of people will help him take action. The people he disliked will disappear silently without a trace, he doesn’t even have to worry about it.

After the New Year holiday, both of them returned to school. When they saw the news about Bai Wei being posted everywhere, for the first time they came to understand Lin Zifeng’s powerful methods.

“This was done by big brother?” Looking at the various photos in his hand, Su Mo found out that it’s not any common misery if one offended Lin Zifeng.

Although Bai Wei’s reputation is not very good in the upper circle, her reputation in the school is very good. A lot of boys even regarded her as their goddess. And now, one can imagine what will Bai Wei’s image become now that these unsightly photos have been circulated.

“That is my big brother.”

When Lin Zisheng heard what Su Mo said, the corner of his mouth slightly twitched. Now he finally understood that he has always underestimated this person’s degree of shamelessness!

“Zisheng, speaking like that will hurt my feelings. What is the difference between yours and mine?” Su Mo innocently looked at Lin Zisheng, as if any words of rejection will cause serious harm to him.

Lin Zisheng: Hehe, big difference there.

In the next few days, both of them felt that their life has become more comfortable because Bai Wei is not there to harass them. Though, one thing that is considered a trouble for Lin Zisheng is… Su Mo’s harassment?

Bai Wei is nowhere to be found, maybe she has left City A. This is probably good news for Lin Zisheng. Whether with him or with Su Mo, she probably won’t have any future interactions anymore. This way, his missions could be considered almost finished. Just that he doesn’t know why he still hasn’t received a prompt from the System that he has completed his task.

“Zisheng, do you have something to do today? You ran out straight away after class.”

Although Lin Zisheng cannot be considered a stay-home nerd, his usual destinations are only school and home. The times he goes hang out somewhere after school is very rare.

“Xiao Hui’s birthday is next week, so I want to buy something for him.”

Although Lin Zisheng rarely goes back home, he has never miss giving Lin Zihui a birthday present every year.

Hearing that, Su Mo became interested as well. It is his family’s third brother’s birthday, of course, Su Mo has to give a gift too! At this moment, Su Mo has totally forgotten that Lin Zihui is not his third brother. Just as both of them are chatting, Su Mo inadvertently turned around and saw a car driving towards them. And the target is Lin Zisheng!

“Zisheng, be careful!” Su Mo pushed Lin Zisheng away without even thinking, and he got heavily hit by the car.

Being pushed away by Su Mo, Lin Zisheng could only watch as the accident happens and doesn’t have the power to stop it. After all, he is just a body of flesh and blood, he couldn’t do anything except watching it happen.

“No, impossible, it’s impossible!”

Apparently, Bai Wei realized that she hit the wrong person. Getting down from the car, she looked at the motionless man on the ground, not knowing whether he is dead or still alive. No, it’s not right! How could it end up like this? Lin Zisheng should be the one dying. Once he died, Ah Mo would be able to get away from his charm. Then they will be happy together, just like their past life!
　　
“Zisheng… you are alright, that’s good…” That was the only thing Su Mo said before he loses consciousness. Even until now, he only has that person in his eyes. He(SM) even ignored his own safety.

After Lin Zisheng stiffly called 120(the number for ambulance in China), he held Su Mo in his arms. When he looked at the stunned Bai Wei in front of him, a malicious smile appeared on his face.

“Now all the people you loved have been killed by you. Bai Wei, are you feeling very happy now?”

Lin Zisheng didn’t expect Bai Wei would be so bold, she didn’t leave City A at all.

“You are talking nonsense, it’s you. Obviously, you are the one who caused Ah Mo’s death!”

Right, it’s like that. It’s all this person’s fault. Not only him but Ah Mo also in the wrong. If both of them also loved her, how could she bear to hurt them two!

Towards Bai Wei who is deceiving herself, Lin Zisheng mercilessly popped her bubble, “Have you forgotten? How did Lin Zisheng die in his past life?”

How did… Lin Zisheng die?

Ah Sheng died? How could that be?!

Bai Wei keeps refuting that in her heart but a voice silently whispered, that Ah Sheng is also someone who has reborn. Then he must have died, because how could he be born again if he didn’t die?

“You don’t know? Then I’ll tell you. Bai Wei, that time Lin Zisheng took you to escape but was captured by Su Mo after you leaked the information out, his legs were injured by him. But he didn’t give up and keep chasing behind you two. And at that time, you obviously wanted to go with Su Mo but you still shouted ‘Ah Sheng, save me’.”

Lin Zisheng revealed how the owner of the body died to Bai Wei, not caring if she could withstand the news or not.

“So what? What it’s going to do with me?!” That’s right, it has nothing to do with her. None at all!

“If this is the case, of course it has nothing to do with you.”

The smile on Lin Zisheng’s face became even more malicious, “But because of you, Su Mo created an accident and let Lin Zisheng fell down a cliff. The car is ruined and the person is dead, in the end, the body cannot even be found.”

“Bai Wei, do you know that Lin Zisheng hated you?!”

Lin Zisheng is not lying. When the original body died, he finally understood Bai Wei’s intention so he only has hatred left for her.

“No, you are lying. The person you loved is me, it always has been me, always!”

Seeing Bai Wei looked like she has lost a bit of sanity, Lin Zisheng’s face carried a happy smile.

“One more thing to tell you, actually Su Mo has never liked you. He let you stay by his side because he wanted to avenge Luo Yan.”

“In the past, you caused the only person who loved you to die, for the person who doesn’t love you. And in this life, you once again killed the person you loved. Bai Wei, you are really pitiful!”

“It’s not like that, you are lying!” Don’t believe it, she doesn’t believe it at all! This person is a devil. Don’t listen, cannot listen to his words!

Bai Wei shook her head, then ran away while covering her ears. Next, a sharp braking sound could be heard, followed by a burst of noisy clamor. The sound of an ambulance seemed to be heard from afar.

Finally… it’s over.

In the hospital, Lin Zisheng silently sat down while staring at the lighted-up light bulb that indicates an operation is ongoing.

“Get out of here! You caused my son to be like this, how could you still dare to show your face here?! Scram!”

Su Mo’s mother loudly screamed when she saw Lin Zisheng sitting there covered in blood. Although logically she knew that it was not Lin Zisheng’s fault, she just can’t accept it emotion-wise. Her only son is hovering between life and death, so how could she be calm when she saw the ‘culprit’?

“Madam Su, your words are wrong. Who doesn’t know that Bai Wei is your family Young Master Su’s peach blossom(admirer)? Don’t tell me that you don’t know about the thing that has happened in the bar last time. If not for Second brother having a good temperament, you think your Su family will be alright?!”

Hearing Madam Su’s words caused the fire in Lin Zihui to start burning. No one wanted the matter today to happen, plus Lin Zisheng is also a victim in the end so Madam Su’s attitude is particularly unpleasant.

Just when Madam Su wanted to yell at Lin Zihui as well, the door of the operating room opens. The doctor paused for a moment when he noticed all of the waiting people looking at him, then shook his head in regret. In the end, the doctor announced Su Mo’s state as brain dead and Madam Su immediately passed out. When she finally woke up, she drove away all the people from the Lin family.

“Second brother…”

During the time Lin Zisheng gets together with Su Mo, the people from the Lin family can see it very clearly. Although Lin Zisheng never says anything, but one can see that he treated Su Mo differently from other people.

“I’m fine, will go back to the school first.”

Lin Zisheng didn’t say anything else and went to school after leaving the hospital. He couldn’t forget that moment when Su Mo pushed him away (from the car), he received a prompt from System 001.

[Current positive feeling is 100, comment: Someone who he could give away anything including own life]

[Host-daren, are you… alright?]

001 spun around Lin Zisheng, it felt that the current Lin Zisheng is not very right. Although it couldn’t be sure what’s wrong, it just felt like Lin Zisheng is very ethereal right now, like even a gust of wind could scatter him away.

“I’m fine.”

For the next few days, Lin Zisheng is like what he said. He is really fine, there haven’t been many changes in his life compared to before. Just that his personality became more silent. Until a week later, the arrival of a person broke the calm surface. That person was Su Mo’s father. Su Mo’s father did not say anything harsh, he just apologized to Lin Zisheng for Mother Su’s behavior that day. Finally, he hoped that Lin Zisheng could go and see Su Mo. Facing a father’s request, Lin Zisheng didn’t refuse and followed him to the hospital.

“Go and see Xiao Mo, if he could sense it, he definitely will be very happy.”

Father Su cannot understand why his son would fall in love with a man, but he chose to support them in the end. Even if his son is lying on the bed and has to rely on a life support machine to maintain his ‘false’ life for this person, he didn’t utter any malicious words because this person is his son’s favorite person.

Lin Zisheng walked into the ward and locked the door. Looking at the person lying on the bed, there is a slight discomfort in his heart. The person who has been circling around him all this while, suddenly laid on the hospital bed and not waking up… Lin Zisheng sighed when he thought of this.

“I thought of a lot of possibilities but didn’t expect the end would be like this. I also didn’t expect that you would choose to die on my behalf.”

“Right from the beginning, whether it’s the encounter with you or with Bai Wei, or even the fact that you became fond of me, it was all in my expectation. However, I have completely missed the possible action you might take.”

“Letting Bai Wei misunderstand that I was reborn, maintaining a lukewarm attitude with her, and also the fact that she will push herself nearer to dead-end due to your emotional stimulation, I have never thought to put your life on stake.”

Lin Zisheng sighed again. He knew that this person on the hospital bed cannot hear his words but in the end, he doesn’t want to deceive this person who would throw away his life for him anymore.

“Actually, when Bai Wei disappeared, I have thought of two possibilities. One is she left City A. The other is what I originally had in mind; coming back for my life. I managed to guess the starting correctly but miscalculated the ending.”

“Su Mo, I owed you a life, I will return it to you now.”

A gunshot rang through the hospital. When the people arrived at Su Mo’s ward, they only saw Lin Zisheng who has stopped breathing.

The last second before his consciousness fades, Lin Zisheng heard 001’s voice.

[System scanning, confirmed Host’s ‘death’, counting down to leave the world, 10, 9, 8…]

The author has something to say:
Because the world is coming to an end, plus a heart-to-heart talk with a close friend, this author has sadly encountered a writer’s block ┭┮﹏┭┮. . I am so sorry to all the little angels(readers). Close friend gave me a lot of suggestions, make me felt like I want to do an ‘overhaul’ but since I have written the story, I still want to give this story an ending although it may not be very perfect.

(*/ω*) Finally, thank you for all the little angel’s support, I love chu~
