Do you think Li Yuheng will save him?
That's still too young.
Li Yuheng straightened his collar, put on a professional smile, and strode towards the crowd.
"Fellow villagers!" he waved enthusiastically. "I am Li Yuheng, a reporter from the Universal Daily. May I ask what kind of folk activity is being held here?"
The townspeople all turned their heads in unison, their wary gazes shooting out like knives.
The black-robed priest narrowed his eyes: "Reporters are not welcome here."
"Oh, don't be so formal~" Li Yuheng squeezed into the crowd as if they were old friends, and pulled out his notebook, "What crime did this gentleman who's tied up commit? Stealing chickens or petty theft?"
Li Qiyang: "..."
The priest sneered, "He is the messenger of evil, bringing plague and death."
"Wow, that's exciting!" Li Yuheng's eyes lit up. "Is there any evidence? Like, does he have horns on his head? Or is his tail showing?"
As she spoke, she walked around behind Li Qiyang and pretended to lift the hem of his clothes.
Li Qiyang: "...!"
The pastor snapped, "Mr. Reporter, please leave. This is a matter within the town."
Li Yuheng shrugged: "Okay, okay, but could I ask you a few questions before I leave?"
Before anyone could answer, he quickly asked, "First, what brand of hemp rope do you usually use? It looks like it's of good quality. Second, is there a buffet after the sacrificial ceremony? Third, do you think I'm handsome?"
The pastor's forehead veins bulged: "Get him out of here!"
Several burly men immediately surrounded them.
Li Yuheng regretfully put away his notebook: "Fine, fine, I'll go then."
Then, he turned around gracefully and waved his hand: "Everyone, keep busy, I'll go have a cup of tea first!"
Li Qiyang: "...??!"
Master, are you really leaving like this?!
Wasn't she here to save him?
The main character! Come back soon!
Li Yuheng left the square without looking back, humming a little tune, as if he really was just there to gather inspiration.
"Your Highness, are you really not going to save him?" 0090 couldn't help but ask.
“Save what?” Li Yuheng casually put his hands in his pockets. “Didn’t he escape on his own in the original story? If he can’t even handle this kind of small situation, what kind of protagonist is he?”
He kicked a pebble by the roadside and said lazily, "Besides, my wife might be secretly watching me, so I have to maintain my aloof persona."
0090: [...]
Li Yuheng, is he portrayed as aloof and cold?
That's so funny.
At the same time, Li Qiyang watched Li Yuheng's departing figure and closed his eyes in despair.
The priest raised a dagger: "Prepare for the sacrifice!"
Just as the dagger was about to strike, Li Qiyang suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
"Wait!" he roared. "I know who the real devil is!"
...
Li Yuheng hummed a little tune as he strolled leisurely along the cobblestone streets of the town, occasionally stopping to admire the wildflowers by the roadside or to comment on the dilapidated houses.
"This house has bad feng shui, and the lighting is terrible."
"This tree is a good choice for hanging yourself."
"This well... well, you should be able to make a wish if you toss a coin into it."
0090 couldn't help but complain: "Young Master, can you please be serious? This is a horror game, not a tourist attraction!"
Li Yuheng shrugged dismissively: "Little system, you don't understand. A handsome guy like me is a sight to behold wherever I go. Even a horror dungeon will turn into an idol drama scene for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Li Yuheng's lips curled slightly as he said without turning his head, "Little friend, following others is bad behavior~"
From the shadows of the alley behind him, a small, pale figure slowly emerged, his dark eyes gleaming with a cold light.
"How did you find me?" His voice was still cold, but with a hint of curiosity.
Li Yuheng turned around, smiled, and squatted down to look him in the eye: "Because of the fragrance on you~"
Shu Bai frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Really!" Li Yuheng took an exaggerated deep breath. "It's that kind of... sweet and cold feeling, like ice cream mixed with chili peppers, it's really intoxicating!"
Shu Bai: "..."
He decided to stop dwelling on this twisted thought process and asked directly, "Why didn't you save that person just now?"
Li Yuheng blinked: "You mean Little Li? Oh, he can handle it himself, I don't need to lift a finger."
Shu Bai narrowed her eyes: "Isn't he your friend?"
Li Yuheng widened his eyes dramatically: "Huh? When did I say he was my friend?"
Shu Bai had just opened her mouth to retort when she suddenly realized that she was following this perverted line of thinking, so she immediately swallowed her words and her face tightened.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Li Yuheng leaned closer with a cheeky grin, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
He leaned forward slightly, a sly smile playing on his lips, as if he had already foreseen the fruits of victory.
Tell me quickly!
Li Yuheng urged himself inwardly, knowing that as soon as Shu Bai opened his mouth, he could use his silver tongue to twist her words into "Shu Bai cares about Li Yuheng very much, and has even fallen hopelessly in love with him."
Anyway, he has always been good at distorting the truth and calling a deer a horse, let alone this kind of ambiguous verbal game.
Li Yuheng narrowed his eyes, his smile deepening, and he had even already thought of the next teasing line.
"Oh? So you're paying attention to me this much?"
"Tsk, so concerned about my every move?"
"Admit it, haven't you been doing this to me all along...?"
He became increasingly smug, looking as if victory was in his grasp.
Shu Bai gave him a cold glance, then turned and left.
Li Yuheng was taken aback, then quickly chased after him: "Hey, hey, don't go! Let's chat for another five cents!"
Shu Bai kept walking, her small figure moving quickly on the stone path.
Li Yuheng caught up with him in a few strides, scooped him up, and held him in his arms: "Why are you running? Let your brother carry you!"
Shu Bai struggled in his arms: "Put me down!"
"I won't let go~" Li Yuheng smiled and tightened his arms. "You haven't answered my question yet."
Shu Bai took a deep breath, a dangerous glint flashing in his dark eyes: "Do you want to die?"
Li Yuheng was not afraid at all. Instead, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Yes, I really want to die in your hands~"
Shu Bai: "..."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yuheng continued to tease him: "What, you can't bear to kill me?"
“No,” Shu Bai said coldly, “I’m just thinking about which way of dying is most suitable for you.”
"Wow, that's so thoughtful!" Li Yuheng's eyes lit up. "Then I'll choose the most romantic one!"
Shu Bai said expressionlessly, "Is drowning in dung balls romantic enough?"
Li Yuheng: "..."
He paused for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Not bad, Xiao Shubai, you can even joke now! You've improved!"
Shu Bai turned her face away, refusing to communicate with this lunatic.
