4-10: Bathroom

But there was no one around Huaiyan.

Moreover, this is in the Huai family's villa.

Normally, there shouldn't be thieves or terrorists in a villa.

Or perhaps... the Ghost King didn't leave?

Thinking of the darkened land enclosure symbol, Huaiyan felt that she was overthinking things.

Jiang Feng has arrived, so how could the Ghost King not go out to meet him?

Even if they are trapped by the Enclosure Talisman for the time being, if the Ghost King wants to report something to Jiang Feng, it will be a matter of minutes.

Huaiyan simply postponed their meeting.

Now that the objective has been achieved, it doesn't really matter whether the Ghost King leaves or not.

"Jiang Feng is indeed very interested in the forum."

As Huaiyan filled the bathtub with water, he said, "He probably saw the post on the forum."

Most of the posts on that forum were expressing two things.

First, Huai inkstones have many admirers; second, Jiang Feng is not worthy of Huai inkstones.

These were all posted there by someone Huaiyan specifically asked; each post cost 100 yuan.

However, to prevent leaks from the school, Huaiyan specially hired professional online trolls and also recruited servants in the villa who had a decent relationship with the original owner.

There were over a hundred posts in total, mixed in with the thousands of posts discussing this matter on the forum, enough to make it seem like the real thing.

Fortunately, the original owner was well-liked and indeed quite famous.

There were quite a few people on the forum who spoke up for him, after all, what they said was indeed true.

This led to even more people stirring up trouble.

Jiang Feng is someone who is active in the forum for many years, so how could he not know about these posts?

He must have cared a lot, but he didn't dare show it in front of Huaiyan.

They could only try to find a sense of presence in Huai inkstones in certain subtle ways, hoping to use this to secure their position with Huai inkstones.

Huaiyan had naturally seen this kind of trick many times before.

"Wouldn't that be even better?" 073 snorted. "Isn't he most concerned about his reputation? It'll be interesting when he falls from grace and everyone starts kicking him."

Huai Yan smiled.

He was certainly confident that he could put Jiang Feng in the spotlight.

But now is not the time.

The groundwork has only just begun.

Huaiyan bent down to turn off the hot water, and the water in the bathtub almost overflowed completely.

In winter, the bathroom was heated, so it wasn't very cold.

But Huaiyan still inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her back.

Huaiyan didn't pause at all, but carefully watched the movements in the bathroom.

But after waiting for a few seconds, he heard nothing.

Through the window, I could hear the howling wind outside, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.

Huaiyan sighed in frustration, feeling like she was about to have a nervous breakdown.

The villainous Ghost King in this plane is much more difficult to deal with than those in the previous planes.

Because what you can't see is the most terrifying.

A head-on confrontation actually appears more gentle and humane.

Huai Yan didn't want to think too much about it. Then, he stepped into the bathtub and immersed himself in the water.

"What are you planning to do next?" 073 suddenly asked. "Isn't the main character going back to the Huai family soon?"

The plot of Jiang Feng cheating on his wife and breaking up with the original owner is not far off.

About a week after the protagonist arrived at the Huai family, in the original story, Jiang Feng lured the original owner into bed.

After the two made love on and off for about half a month, Jiang Feng began to give the original owner the silent treatment.

Finally, the original owner couldn't hold back and questioned Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng not only failed to provide a reasonable explanation, but also attempted to manipulate the original owner of the body.

In short, the breakup happened in the first month after the protagonist arrived at the Huai family.

After breaking up with the original owner of the body, Jiang Feng quickly got together with the protagonist.

This can also be understood as the protagonist being blessed with the protagonist's halo.

Few of the supporting characters in the original story disliked the protagonist, except for the Huai family.

It seems that anyone who disobeys the protagonist will eventually be killed.

Therefore, in the end, the Huai family was tragically wiped out because of the protagonist's insatiable greed.

The protagonist could have lived a life of luxury in the Huai family, never fighting or competing for anything.

The Huai family will definitely support him and will certainly arrange for him to work in the company in the future.

However, the protagonist is insatiable and is no longer satisfied with this little bit of food.

"Go back then." Huai Yan replied, his entire head submerged in water. "Even if he doesn't come back, I'll still deal with him."

What a fool! Instead of being a carefree prince, he insists on scheming for money and murder.

The main character is also still in college, one year younger than Huaiyan, and just started his freshman year this year.

Perhaps it's a matter of intelligence, but in the original story, the protagonist is always a step slower than the original owner in everything he does.

I never imagined that even going to university would be like this.

The protagonist's school is also located around the University City of A, and it's a third-tier university.

It is said that the protagonist was just barely passing the exam back then, almost failing by a hair's breadth.

"I have already sent people to investigate the protagonist."

Huai Yan said slowly, "The results will be out soon."

It has to be said that the identity of a princeling in Beijing's elite circles is indeed very useful.

The Huai family is prominent, and most people dare not approach or offend Huai Yan because of his status.

This gave Huaiyan many opportunities to conduct in-depth investigations into the protagonist.

After all, no one would stand in the way of the Crown Prince.

At least so far, the people Huaiyan sent out have all investigated very smoothly until the very end.

The results should be available around tomorrow.

"You're pretty quick," 073 remarked. "You've really grown up."

Back in the first world, Huaiyan was an innocent and pure boy with bright, deer-like eyes.

Today, Huai inkstones can stand on their own.

"It's nothing," Huai Yan said calmly as she surfaced for air. "Even without pay, they'd be scrambling to do it."

Only then could one sense Huai Yan's unusually calm demeanor.

He was someone who had truly experienced the hardships of military academies in the Interstellar Federation.

Sometimes, he is better at disguising himself than others.

Now, this mask makes Huaiyan virtually invincible.

Everyone would lower their guard because of his docile appearance and obedient manner.

Little did they know that, without them even realizing it, the roles of hunter and prey had suddenly reversed.

However, in just a moment, Huaiyan regained his original tone.

"Is the main character coming the day after tomorrow?" the boy asked softly, squeezing some foam onto his body.

073 glanced at the timeline and confirmed, "Yes, you should remember the general plot, right? The first thing he did when he came back was to target you."

The bathroom was filled with steam, and the water vapor gradually increased.

The boy covered his entire body in foam, lay quietly in the bathtub, and recalled the plot.

He naturally remembered the situation when the protagonist first entered the Huai family.

Skipping over the unimportant details, the other party's first thought was to have the original owner sent back to his original home.

At that moment, the Huai couple's faces darkened, and neither of them said a word.

So the protagonist, who was initially the second choice, asked for the room where the original owner was currently living.

In the original story, the original owner did not agree, citing the reason that she had developed feelings for the place after living there for a long time, and her attitude could be described as a firm refusal.

However, Huaiyan plans to deviate from the script this time.

If the protagonist wants to change rooms, then so be it.

Anyway, this wasn't the original owner's room.

The original owner's room was the innermost room on the second floor of the villa. The room was large and well-lit and ventilated.

The original owner moved to the guest room because of an injury sustained during a sports meet that made it difficult for him to walk.

In the original storyline, the original owner rejected the protagonist, which probably wasn't because she had any feelings for him.

The original owner probably just didn't like the protagonist, so she made up a random excuse to refuse.

But the key point is not rejection.

The key point is that Huai Yan didn't let the protagonist suffer, and neither Huai Yan nor his wife came out to stop it.

This is equivalent to the Huai family couple choosing sides from the very beginning.

They still value the original owner.

It's just that the protagonist is too stupid to realize it.

Now……

Huai Yan sneered, "Let him change it if he wants."

There's a ghost king in this room; I hope it scares that idiot to death.

While the system was being pulled and pulled by one person, Huaiyan had already finished taking a bath.

The boy stuck one foot out of the bathtub.

Then, he drained the water from the bathtub, sat on the edge of the tub, and tried to dry himself.

The boy was lean and wiry, but he had all the right amount of flesh in the right places.

Because of his years of morning runs, you can still faintly see his abdominal muscles.

However, just as Huai Yan bent her leg to wipe it...

But then I felt a cold hand gripping my ankle.

Huaiyan was so frightened that she almost pulled her foot back, but she didn't dare to move.

He forcefully suppressed his reflexive urges and bit his lip tightly.

Didn't the Ghost King go to find Jiang Feng?

You're back so soon? That shouldn't be the case.

Huaiyan thought they would talk for at least an hour or two, but it had only been a short while.

The boy's thoughts were in turmoil.
