Chapter 339 Pretending to be a Returning Businessman in a Historical Novel (12)
[Warning! A cursed medium carrying a spiritual imprint and contamination has been detected! The target is attempting to establish a life-link with the host!]
The system alarm sounded in Zhou Jue's mind.
The chilling aura that tried to penetrate her skin was like a slippery little snake, probing her fingertips.
A gentle smile bloomed on Zhou Jue's face.
"it's beautiful."
She picked up the red knot, looked at it under the light, and spoke with genuine admiration.
"Thank you, I really like it."
Lin Wanwan's heart was in her throat, almost jumping out of her chest.
[She likes it! Master, she wants to wear it! Strange! Why can't it get inside her body? It must be because it's not worn yet!]
The little carp's voice screamed excitedly in her mind's eye.
Under Lin Wanwan's tense, almost suffocating gaze, Zhou Jue slowly and deliberately put the red string on his fair wrist.
The red knots against her snow-white skin were quite striking.
That chilling aura instantly found an outlet, rushing wildly into her body along her wrist.
Lin Wanwan and Xiao Li both breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
It was a success!
"Ms. Zhou, I'm glad you like it." Lin Wanwan finally managed a genuine smile, a huge weight lifted from her heart.
"Then... I won't disturb your rest any longer."
She bowed slightly and turned to leave the room that terrified her.
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Jue's voice came from behind her, and Lin Wanwan stopped abruptly. A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from her back.
“To thank you for your gift,” Zhou Jue stood up, smiling as he walked towards her, “I also happen to have something I’d like you to see.”
"No...no need, Miss Zhou, I..."
Lin Wanwan waved her hands frantically, but before she could finish speaking, Zhou Jue raised his hand and waved it gently.
Inside the room, nothing seemed to have changed; the lights were still bright, and the tables and chairs were still neatly arranged.
But the little carp in Lin Wanwan's sea of consciousness let out a scream that was so terrified it was distorted.
[Oh no! It's a formation! This woman is a cultivator! We've been discovered! Run!]
[Run? Where to run?! My space! Where is my space?!]
Little Carp discovered in despair that its connection with the Spirit Spring space had been severed with a "snip" from its body, as if by an invisible pair of scissors!
It was trapped inside Lin Wanwan's mind, like a turtle in a jar!
"you……"
Lin Wanwan's face turned pale as she stared in horror at Zhou Jue walking towards her step by step. The woman in front of her still had a gentle smile on her face, but the friendliness in her eyes was gone.
Overwhelmed by fear, her vision went black, and Lin Wanwan's body went limp as she fainted.
Zhou Jue reached out and helped her up, laying her flat on the sofa. Then, she extended a finger and gently touched Lin Wanwan's forehead.
A vast divine sense entered Lin Wanwan's sea of consciousness, where a ring floated in the depths.
The ring contained a small space with a few fields and a spring, arranged in a rather decent manner.
At this moment, the spring that should have been clear has become murky and black smoke is gushing out from its source.
A koi carp, entirely black except for its ominous red eyes, is frantically crashing against an invisible barrier in the space.
Each impact created ripples of black light, causing the entire space to tremble.
That is the true form of the little carp.
"Come out." Zhou Jue's voice rang out directly in the space.
The little carp froze abruptly, its red eyes darting around in terror as it searched for the source of the sound.
The next second, a giant hand formed from divine consciousness, almost obscuring the entire sky, slowly descended.
【No! ! 】
The little carp let out a scream, opened its mouth, and spewed out streams of foul black gas, attempting to corrode the giant hand.
But the black energy vanished the moment it touched the giant hand, just like ice and snow meeting a hot iron.
Without pausing, the giant hand scooped it out of the spiritual spring and held it firmly in mid-air.
The barriers of space shattered instantly.
Who are you?! Who exactly are you?!
The little carp, held in the giant hand of divine consciousness, struggled frantically, its voice filled with terror and disbelief.
Let me go! How dare you touch me?
It made a threat, all bluster and no substance.
I am the spirit of destiny, protected by the Heavenly Dao! I have a powerful backer; if you harm me, you will bring about a catastrophic disaster!
Zhou Jue's eyes were cold, and she ignored its clamor. She simply increased the pressure of her divine sense.
【ah--! 】
The black koi let out a shrill scream, feeling its core, the pulsating ball of fortune, being squeezed tighter and tighter, about to shatter.
The fear of death finally overwhelmed its arrogance.
[Stop! Stop pinching! I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you whatever you want to know!]
It finally broke down and began to frantically beg for mercy.
[Spare me! Immortal, spare me!]
Zhou Jue's hand stopped, but the pressure that was enough to crush it did not diminish in the slightest.
Her icy voice echoed within the core of the black koi's essence.
"explain."
"How much does Lin Wanwan's time travel have to do with you?"
【I...I'll talk...I'll tell you everything!】
The black koi's voice trembled uncontrollably; the giant hand formed from divine consciousness was the guillotine hanging over its core.
[Immortal, Lin Wanwan's time travel has nothing to do with me!]
[She, Lin Wanwan, wasn't brought by me!]
It speaks extremely fast, as if afraid that if it slows down even by a second, it will be completely crushed.
She transmigrated here herself!
In this world, the original Lin Wanwan was a complete idiot and a wicked person!
Zhou Jue's consciousness did not relax in the slightest, and the black koi carp dared not stop, continuing to quickly give its report.
The original Lin Wanwan was jealous of Zhou Xiaoman, had a wicked heart, and was good for nothing after being sent to the countryside; she was the number one troublemaker.
She disapproved of Zhou Xiaoman's hard work and ambition, so she spoke ill of Zhou Xiaoman everywhere and tried to trip her up.
[In the end, she always ended up digging her own grave, eventually alienating everyone and becoming despised by all.]
She didn't get into university, and somehow ended up with Zhao Laosi, a good-for-nothing in the village. A few years later, she ruined herself and died. When she died, she lay in that dilapidated thatched hut at the educated youth settlement, and there wasn't even anyone to collect her body.
Black Koi spoke quickly and urgently, as if trying to absolve himself of all responsibility.
I escaped here through a time rift after she died!
None of this has anything to do with me! I tried to save her, but I couldn't!
[Perfect timing! Spacetime is warped, and this transmigrator named Lin Wanwan's soul frequency is very similar to the original owner of this body who just died. I've chosen her!]
I placed her inside Lin Wanwan's body; this time, I essentially saved two people!
Zhou Jue's eyes remained expressionless. His words did match the system's analysis, but this little carp was still trying to clear his name.
"What was the plot you told her?"
What I said wasn't wrong!
Seeing that it was not behaving properly, Zhou Jue continued to increase the pressure, and the little carp hurriedly changed its tune.
[Fake! I made it all up!]
