Since their reunion, Yan Feichen has been unwilling to call her Master.
Lin Zhenzhen knew that this was because he still remembered the things she had said back then and harbored resentment.
Even so, he never addressed him by his given name, nor did he ever utter the name "Lin Zhen" in such a cold tone.
Lin Zhenzhen also knew that the wisest thing for her to do now was to go along with what Yan Feichen said.
Tell him, yes, you're just being a jerk. In my heart, you mean nothing.
But when her gaze met the other person's shattered, near-collapsed pupils, Lin Zhenzhen truly realized that humans are not absolutely rational animals.
Lin Zhenzhen rubbed her reddened wrist, her voice low and muffled: "That's not what I meant. Don't talk about yourself like that."
She lowered her head slightly, her tone as gentle as before.
Yan Feichen felt like she was going crazy. Just a second ago, she wanted to strangle the person in front of her and drag her down to hell with her.
The next second, seeing the red mark on her hand, I couldn't help but want to hug her tightly again.
I want to hurt her, but I'm also afraid of hurting her.
Love to the extreme, and hate to the extreme.
Such deep affection necessitates this.
Even a clay figure has a bit of temper, but Yan Feichen retreated again and again, enduring and forbearing, only to be molded and manipulated at will by her when he offered himself up.
Yan Feichen left just like that. Although he didn't say anything, he looked very unwell. It wasn't anger, but a deep sense of despondency.
I'm not going to be able to complete this main quest.
[Waaah, host, how about we try again?]
Lin Zhenzhen wiped her forehead, feeling a little dejected. This wasn't a matter of whether she tried hard or not.
If things continue like this, Yan Feichen might die of anger before he even accumulates enough hatred points.
Before leaving, Yan Feichen even left a trace of his scent on you to help you disguise yourself. Waaah, he loves you so much.
...Lin Zhenzhen was even more stunned.
Since joining the quick transmigration system, she has never felt so mentally exhausted.
From the moment she entered the first small world, Lin Zhenzhen kept telling herself to treat it as work.
It's just acting according to the script. She just needs to be fully immersed in the role and then detach herself from it in time. She's very professional and good at it, so there's nothing to worry about.
However, Lin Zhenzhen now realizes that her initial predictions were off.
She seemed unable to completely isolate herself as an outsider.
Lin Zhenzhen huddled in a corner and sighed for a while, when she suddenly heard a clear, crisp sound of a copper bell coming from outside.
She turned her head and spotted a figure in white in the crowd, then remembered what she had originally come here for.
Lin Zhenzhen slowly approached Lianhua, who was sitting at a rectangular gambling table with a small mountain of chips piled up in front of him.
As soon as Lin Zhenzhen walked over, she heard his completely calm voice: "Unleash your ultimate skill."
What's going on?
Well, you've come down to earth to gamble, haven't you!
There were five people at the table, and he was the first to speak; the next four all called him "Xiao."
Just as the dealer at the top was about to unveil the dice, Lianhua suddenly called out, "Wait a minute."
Those around him immediately exclaimed, "What's said is said, there's no going back on your word."
Lianhua pushed her chips out heavily, her face expressionless.
"I'm raising my bet."
Lin Zhenzhen stood on the periphery like the other onlookers, so she could hear their whispers very clearly.
"Is this newcomer? Ha! How dare he play dice with the Four Overlords at the same table? Ha!"
"Is he out of his mind? He actually dared to raise the bet, quack quack quack!"
A cacophony of croaking and quacking filled her ears. Lin Zhenzhen turned around and, sure enough, saw the heads of a goose and a green-headed frog huddled together.
Noticing her scrutinizing gaze, the big frog glared at her and said, "What are you looking at? Ugly monster!"
Hey! How can these monsters be so rude?
Lin Zhenzhen was too lazy to argue with them and turned her attention back to the gambling table.
Just then, the dice cup was unveiled, revealing three small red dots.
Three ones?
"Giggle, quack, quack, I knew he was an idiot!"
Sitting directly above the Zhuang family, a graceful black snake flicked its red tongue and gazed affectionately at Lianhua.
"I'm sorry, you've lost all your chips. If you can't come up with 50 dan of spirit stones, you can't continue sitting at the card table."
Lianhua didn't say anything. He stood up readily and brushed past Lin Zhenzhen without giving her a single glance.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly followed him, whispering behind his back.
"Master, I never expected to meet you here."
There was no reaction; in fact, the pace quickened.
"Master, do you need money? I have some in my bag, can I give it all to you?"
As she spoke, Lin Zhenzhen reached into her wallet.
Lianhua suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said coldly, "Lin Zhen, stay away from me."
"ah?"
Lin Zhenzhen seemed a little dumbfounded, then she looked around and saw Yan Feichen standing on the second-floor railing.
There were no hanging lights there, so Lin Zhenzhen couldn't see his face clearly.
He could only vaguely see his black robes swaying gently, like a black butterfly about to take flight.
She quickly looked away, pretending not to have noticed anything, and said in a trembling voice, "But I came here to find you, Master."
Lianhua turned her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to catch a glimpse of tears glistening in Lin Zhenzhen's eyes, causing her brows to furrow involuntarily.
He continued forward, no longer stopping Lin Zhenzhen from following him, and the two went together to a secluded little room.
"Go in."
"Okay." Lin Zhenzhen obediently did as instructed.
Lianhua lowered her head slightly, and a golden light flashed at her fingertips, as if she had placed a restriction on the room.
Realizing his intention, Lin Zhenzhen quickly leaned her face against the door frame, looking at him pitifully: "Master, are you going to leave me here alone?"
Lianhua slightly raised her eyes, her pale pupils ethereal and distant, faintly revealing an inviolable, sacred pressure.
"Bang!"
The next second, the door was slammed shut without any mercy.
...
Lin Zhenzhen touched her nose, which had almost been crushed: "That's really uncouth."
She reached out and tried to push it, but as expected, it wouldn't budge. The restriction on the door was beyond her cultivation level to remove.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly felt a headache coming on. If she was kept locked up here, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
[Host, you might not know this, but our shop also offers lock-picking services...]
Am I unable to open this lock?
[Supernatural methods can also be used to pick locks!]
Lin Zhenzhen was taken aback.
Goodness, goodness, she's finally realized what's going on.
It's all-powerful, capable of going to heaven and earth, the strongest in the universe, the Imperial Quick Transmigration System, right?
