Chapter 33 Shen Zhi: It's a pleasure to meet you in the real world.

After spending some carefree days as a divine bird with Shen Zhi, Ling Yuanyuan was finally able to transform into human form.

With him around, Ling Yuanyuan no longer felt fear because of her dreams. Following the system's instructions, Ling Yuanyuan decided to pursue Shen Zhi as the male lead she would use to develop relationships with the other main characters.

Recently, Ling Yuanyuan has been trying to win over Shen Zhi, finally improving their once-ironclad brotherhood.

Ling Yuanyuan was getting sick of herself from chanting "Stop! Stop! Stop!" every day.

I wish I could transform into Shen Zhi's little pendant.

Then, once Shen Zhi had gotten used to his own situation, he withdrew.

Sure enough, Ling Yuanyuan was caught by Immortal Lord Xuan Yue when she went out. Jing Xuan Yue was still fantasizing about using Ling Yuanyuan to save his white moonlight, but he didn't expect that Ling Yuanyuan had deliberately been caught.

For the past few months, Chen Zhi has remained unmoved by Ling Yuanyuan's clinginess.

Sensing that Ling Yuanyuan's aura was fading away, he rushed directly to Jing Xuanyue's side.

Before the man's knife could plunge into the woman's chest, a powerful force flung him away. Jing Xuan Yue frowned, only then noticing the person who had appeared. Even knowing that Shen Zhi was a high god, Jing Xuan Yue had not given up on the idea of ​​reviving Fairy Yuan'er.

As the son of the Heavenly Empress, Jing Xuan Yue never paid attention to anyone else.

Upon seeing Shen Zhi, Ling Yuanyuan was deeply moved.

He maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

Shen Zhi gave Jing Xuan Yue no time to react and directly rescued Ling Yuan Yuan.

Realizing that Ling Yuanyuan had been rescued, Jing Xuanyue quickly gave chase. However, she was no match for Shen Zhi.

Jing Xuan Yue's face was extremely ugly. She used all her immortal techniques, but Shen Zhi still managed to repel her.

"If you continue to follow me, I won't hesitate to ask the Empress."

Chen Zhi's expression was cold and aloof.

Upon hearing Shen Zhi's words, Jing Xuan Yue paused.

"Presumably, the same way the Empress Dowager disapproved of your relationship back then will now shatter the soul of your beloved."

He said calmly.

Ling Yuanyuan was surprised, never expecting Shen Zhi to threaten him.

Jing Xuan Yue clenched his fists. He had planned this for so long. How could he give up just because of Shen Zhi's two words, even if his mother still objected? He was determined to bring Yuan'er back to life today, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

Thinking about it, Jing Xuan Yue took out the divine artifact he had painstakingly collected.

It instantly enveloped Ling Yuanyuan and Shen Zhi.

Even a god can only protect himself, not Ling Yuanyuan, a mere demon.

Ling Yuanyuan felt as if her entire body was being scalded, her skin burning with pain. Shen Zhi lowered his gaze and cast a spell to ease Ling Yuanyuan's pain. However, the attacks from the divine weapon continued unabated, showing no sign of stopping.

Ling Yuanyuan bit her lip: "Shen Zhi, it seems I'm going to die here today."

She sobbed through her tears, "Meeting you was my good fortune."

Shen Zhi frowned, covering Ling Yuanyuan's jinxed mouth.

[Congratulations, host. It has been detected that Shen Zhi's favorability towards you has reached its maximum.]

The system voice suddenly sounded.

Ling Yuanyuan, who had been extremely weak, stood up abruptly, her magical power surging around her. With a loud "boom," the divine artifact shattered.

Jing Xuan Yue was completely stunned.

I can't believe my eyes.

It turns out she was faking it.

Realizing that Ling Yuanyuan was alright, Shen Zhi snapped out of his daze.

He was filled with displeasure.

For a brief moment, he almost thought he was going to lose her.

Without the divine artifact, the plan to revive Yuan'er had completely failed. Jing Xuan Yue knelt on the ground, her expression unreadable.

Just as he was about to go mad, the Heavenly Empress appeared in time and took him away.

[Mission complete. Host will be returned to the real world shortly.]

[Countdown 3]

As everything went black, Ling Yuanyuan fainted.

When she woke up again, she was still at her workstation. Startled, Ling Yuanyuan thought she was dreaming; she didn't even have time to say anything to Shen Zhi.

"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and finish the last PPT. How about we grab some late-night snacks, like barbecue? I've been craving fatty pork belly for ages, hehe." Xiao Xi, the colleague sitting next to Ling Yuanyuan, reached out to bring Ling Yuanyuan back to her senses.

Ling Yuanyuan pouted.

It really was a dream.

After a long while, she finally finished her work for the day.

The two walked to a nearby night market, where Ling Yuanyuan pulled out a chair. She rubbed the crumbs off the disposable chopsticks and then sat down to wait for her food.

"Ling Yuanyuan, wow, look at that handsome guy!"

"Absolutely astounding!"

Xiao Xi sat opposite, looking behind Ling Yuanyuan.

Hearing her exclamation, Ling Yuanyuan rolled her eyes.

Xiao Xi calls any man who is even slightly good-looking a handsome guy.

She looked down and somehow opened the bank's app.

I was shocked when I saw the updated balance.

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand fathers!

Ling Yuanyuan almost covered her eyes and cried; it wasn't a dream.

Before she started working overtime, her bank account balance was only a few hundred yuan because she had to pay off her Huabei (a Chinese online credit service). Now, it has so many zeros.

Are you happy?

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Ling Yuanyuan froze, then turned around.

That aloof face, those familiar smiling eyes.

Unlike his usual white attire, the man was wearing a black hoodie. Perhaps because it was still a bit chilly, he also wore a khaki overcoat, which accentuated his tall and straight figure.

Xiao Xi: "What's going on? Does this handsome guy know Ling Yuanyuan?"

Ling Yuanyuan: "..."

Shen Zhi smiled slightly.

It's a pleasure to meet you in the real world.

Ling Yuanyuan.
