What's going on?!

When Liuwu said it had crashed, Zhang Xu seemed to see a little dog trying to blow white bubbles. She, the librarian, had always seemed a bit dim-witted, but now she looked even more like she had completely lost her mind.

Zhang Xu waited for a long time but Sixty-Five did not come back to life. She could only follow Rong Yue back to the palace in a daze. Even after Rong Yue picked up the book and began to study its contents, Zhang Xu still did not receive any news of Sixty-Five.

Holding the book Yan Chenghuan had given her, she felt somewhat at a loss.

This book only briefly introduces some background knowledge and methods of cultivating immortality, without touching on the true core of some immortal sects. Zhang Xu didn't know which version Rong Yue was reading, but she could only say that the female lead was indeed the female lead, as soon as she saw colorful bubbles rising around her.

In the original novel, the female protagonist gained the favor of the entire sect after arriving at Jade Green Mountain due to her exceptional talent in cultivation. This makes sense, as the female protagonist is indeed a promising candidate for cultivation.

"Why don't you look? Can't you understand? Are you illiterate?"

Zhang Xu used a book as a cushion under her buttocks and sat at the door to keep watch for Rong Yue. Because the Emperor of Chen opposed the royal family members practicing Taoism, the entire royal family knew very little about it. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, Rong Yue chased all the palace servants out, leaving only Zhang Xu behind.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Xu looked around but found nothing.

"So it turns out they just replaced it with a clumsy one. Look up!"

Following the sound, Zhang Xu looked up and saw Yan Chenghuan sitting on the roof beam. Unlike his usual disheveled appearance, Yan Chenghuan was wearing a light blue round-necked robe made of fine fabric, embroidered with simple crane and cloud patterns, looking refreshing and neat. His long hair was tied up high with a matching hairband, making the young man look youthful and handsome. This outfit looked like the one Zhang Xu had asked Mo Niang to make for him. Zhang Xu was too embarrassed to just throw it in the yard, but unexpectedly, it looked quite good on him.

Before his descent into darkness, Yan Chenghuan wasn't described much in the original novel. The book focused more on his gentle and attentive nature towards Rong Yue, and his coldness and cruelty towards others. At this point, many years before his transformation, he clearly appeared as a bright and promising young man.

How do you know I'm not Xuxu?

Freed from the constraints of being sixty-five, Zhang Xu spoke more freely. What an adorable child! It's a pity her ending wasn't good! Thinking of this, his eyes showed even more affection.

Yan Chenghuan pursed her lips: "What kind of look is that? Take it away! Only someone as stupid as you wouldn't realize that everyone has seen you and you're still pretending like an idiot."

Goodness, he insulted her three times with just one sentence. Has the second male lead awakened some kind of talent?

Unbeknownst to Zhang Xu, cultivators are naturally more sensitive to their surroundings. The moment she first pulled him from the river, Yan Chenghuan noticed something amiss. It wasn't until Zhang Xu's behavior became increasingly erratic that he deliberately investigated. After several probing attempts, he was astonished to discover that this woman, who had committed so many evil deeds over the years, had actually been possessed, and by such a mediocre and foolish woman. It had to be said, this was retribution! When he discovered this, he wanted nothing more than to laugh out loud.

Yan Chenghuan pulled out the book she was using as a cushion: "Can't understand it?"

Zhang Xu sat on the stone steps, while Yan Chenghuan stood in front of her, looking down at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I don't want to cultivate Taoism, so why am I looking at this?" Faced with his oppressive gaze, Zhang Xu felt inexplicably timid. Whatever, her disguise had already been exposed in front of him, so there was no point in pretending anymore. Why should an outsider like her care about these things? Once the story was over, she would go home. Who would care about what the characters in a book were like?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu felt more confident.

"Don't you want to stay with the princess forever?" Yan Chenghuan stroked the book cover, thought for a moment, "That's right, you're not Xuxu anymore, so naturally you don't have Xuxu's loyalty to the princess. So, who are you, and what do you want to do by possessing this body?"
