4-11: The Demon King's Warning
Huaiyan trembled slightly involuntarily.
He tried to pull his leg back, but the man held it firmly in place.
The other person's fingertips were icy cold, as if they had walked through a snowy landscape, carrying a chilling, biting cold.
Huai Yan thought about it again.
Men are inherently ghost kings, and ghosts belong to yin, so it's normal for their bodies to feel cold.
If they possess human warmth and human form, they would be no different from ordinary people.
That's what's abnormal.
Huai Yan had a strange, bad feeling.
Could it be that the Ghost King knows it was him who used the land-enclosing talisman?
That's impossible. Aren't the characters in different dimensions supposed to be unaware of the system's existence?
In the eyes of the Ghost King, the land enclosure talisman was probably equivalent to being immobilized.
After careful consideration, the Ghost King would not suspect him.
After all, what bad things could a seemingly obedient and harmless boy possibly do?
Huaiyan kept thinking and shrinking back, her mind racing.
He was certain that he must have offended this ghost king somehow.
Under normal circumstances, the man would have already made sarcastic remarks.
"Disobedient little liar."
The man's voice was cold and indifferent, with a hint of gritted teeth.
Huaiyan trembled, her eyes brimming with tears, and replied pitifully, "I didn't... I didn't lie to you..."
Although it was unclear, the words spoken by the Ghost King sounded like a condemnation.
Huaiyan's first reaction was to refute.
He could only try his best not to anger the ghost king, because he had no idea what the ghost might do.
But after hearing the boy's words, the man seemed even angrier.
"A habitual liar."
The boy's chin was also viciously pinched, the man using tremendous force as if he wanted to crush his jaw completely.
"Hiss..." The boy let out a soft groan, unable to help but whimper, "...It hurts."
After a few seconds, the man eased off a little.
Huaiyan was no longer worried that the man would come after him for the land-enclosing token.
The Ghost King would most likely not believe that a boy who couldn't even kill a chicken could have such great abilities.
Therefore, what angered this ghost king must have been something else entirely.
As for what happened tonight, Huaiyan could only think of Jiang Feng.
In addition, Huaiyan never left the house, and only saw Jiang Feng at night.
It was obvious who it was because of; he could already guess.
But Huaiyan couldn't understand why a man would get angry with his accomplice.
Aren't the two of them, plus the protagonist, the murderer, the ones who were responsible for the massacre of the Huai family?
Why did they start fighting amongst themselves right from the beginning?
The man's tone was flippant, his voice indifferent, clearly conveying a sense of nonchalance.
The words that came out were chilling: "Have you broken up?"
Huai Yan suddenly stopped, her body stiffening.
How could he forget this?
Previously, the Ghost King had told him to break up with Jiang Feng.
What was his answer at that time?
Huai Yan closed his eyes. He only remembered that his thoughts were in a mess at the time, and he didn't take the man's words seriously at all.
If it weren't a man bringing it up now.
Even if Huaiyan had two more hours, he might not be able to remember what the man said at the time.
The boy's hesitation and guilt were especially evident in the man's eyes.
He gave a mocking laugh, his voice icy: "Little liar, trying to fool me?"
Huaiyan was so frightened that her breath caught in her throat, and she dared not move.
He hurriedly explained, "I... I didn't find a chance with him... Next time, next time I definitely will..."
"Little liar."
The man's cold words were like a warning, or a final ultimatum: "You have five days left."
-
In just a few days, Huaiyan's low-grade fever has recurred three or four times.
Last night, the commotion in the bathroom made Huaiyan's cold worse.
The next day, he lay in bed, his voice terribly hoarse.
073 roughly calculated that there are still at least one or two months left until the mission ends.
In the next two months, Huaiyan will likely be unable to escape the clutches of the Ghost King.
Being constantly surrounded by ghosts, especially a ghost king whose yin energy is unknown, makes it difficult not to get sick.
However, Huaiyan didn't want to lie in bed today.
He couldn't wait to go to the school and the forum to see the results.
The posts on the forum right now are enough to keep Jiang Feng busy for a while.
As for the school, Huaiyan had been waiting for this perfect opportunity.
With final exams approaching, Jiang Feng is frantically preparing for his final paper.
In the original storyline, Jiang Feng's paper was outstanding, and because it was excellent enough, it was even published on a prestigious platform and won some awards.
However, Jiang Feng's paper was copied directly from the original author.
This paper is the culmination of the original owner's hard work. A genius boy, whatever he sets his mind to, he will always do his best.
Perhaps Jiang Feng saw this as an opportunity, which is why he persisted for so long and finally won over the paper.
In the original storyline, the original owner was blinded by a momentary infatuation.
During that period, he gave Jiang Feng almost anything he wanted.
As long as Jiang Feng acts cute or pitiful, the original owner will usually soften her heart.
So when the paper was finally awarded to Jiang Feng, Huai Yan was not surprised at all.
However, this thesis was precisely the trigger that made the original owner unable to withstand the blow.
Later, after Jiang Feng got together with the protagonist, he wanted to completely eliminate the original owner of the body.
He spread rumors on the school forum that the original owner's paper was plagiarized and that the genius boy was just a name without substance.
Jiang Feng even went so far as to say that all the awards the original owner had won were simply because his family was rich.
And so, these little things, like a snowball rolling downhill, crushed the original owner in the icy wilderness, leaving him completely breathless.
Thinking of this, Huaiyan jumped out of bed.
When Huai Yan arrived in this world, the original owner's thesis was already in its final stages.
Huai inkstones also have a system, and the second half has long been completed.
He was in such a hurry to go to school simply because he wanted to see Jiang Feng make a fool of himself.
Before setting off, Huaiyan sent the paper to the professor in her department via email.
Just in case, he also printed out a paper copy at the villa, intending to take it to school.
As long as he hands over the paper to the professor before Jiang Feng comes to him for it, the mission will be considered a success.
Huai Yan moved very quickly.
With a fever of nearly 38 degrees Celsius, he arrived at the classroom door fifteen minutes before class started.
"Hey!"
The classmate stood up to offer Huaiyan his seat, saying with great interest, "So, the academic genius Huaiyan has finally arrived?"
Huaiyan smiled and nodded to the boy: "Thank you."
The boy's name is Zhang Yaoyang, and he is the original owner's deskmate.
Roy Cheung is a very loyal person. In the original storyline, he helped the original owner a lot when the owner's reputation was ruined.
Therefore, Huaiyan didn't dislike him and even had some affection for him.
"Great job, Huai Xue Shen!"
Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Yaoyang chuckled and joked, "You even managed to get our professor?"
