At night, Shen Muqing went online and read about Zhou Linqian's life. Since he was going to do a mission, he had to know his enemy well in order to win every battle.
Online posts say he is very talented, has a humble appearance, lives up to his name, and is easy to get along with. Rumors also say that he and his wife have a very good relationship and are a harmonious couple.
"Tch, judging from Egg's bird nature, probably only one out of ten worlds has a good male protagonist. This guy is definitely faking it."
She browsed through his biographical information and found that his resume was extremely impressive; every comic he drew became a hit.
Copyrights, royalties, and book publishing fees made him a fortune.
Is this person really that amazing?
Shen Muqing stared at the screen and muttered to himself, "With such strong talent, every book she writes becomes a hit, making her a household name."
"Ding-dong."
There was a noise coming from the bathroom. Shen Muqing lived alone in the house, so she was very sensitive to any noise.
It's strange that she wasn't this timid before.
She took her phone and carefully turned on the bathroom light, only to find that it was just a bottle of shower gel on the floor. Thank goodness, it had really startled her.
As she passed by the mirror, she glanced at it habitually.
Wow!
"Mom, save me!"
"Thump."
Shen Muqing knelt down, her body and voice trembling, "I don't know if you're a human or a ghost. If you're a human, take everything of value from my house. I won't resist."
"If you were a ghost, and you had any unfulfilled wishes, tell me, and I will do whatever it takes to help you fulfill them."
She kept kowtowing to the mirror, cursing, "Damn you, I'm going to kill you!"
Cang Jin stood behind her, watching this scene with amusement. He hadn't done anything.
But the girl seemed to be able to see him.
Indeed, Shen Muqing saw a man with silver hair and dressed in black in the mirror. He looked like the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons of the underworld, definitely not from the mortal realm.
After a long silence, Shen Muqing opened one eye and tilted her head to look in the mirror, only to find that the ghost's figure was no longer there.
She almost thought she was seeing things, so she got up and went to the mirror to check. It was just an ordinary mirror.
"Could it be that you've been looking at your phone too much lately and your eyes are getting blurry?"
Shen Muqing patted his chest to comfort himself, "It's okay, it's okay, I must have seen wrong, it's just an illusion. How could there be ghosts and gods in this world? This is the modern world!"
He turned around and came face to face with Cang Jin.
"Mommy~" There really is a ghost, it's not a hallucination.
Then Shen Muqing's legs went weak and she fainted. Cang Jin caught her, his usually cold expression showing a look of confusion. Had he frightened her?
Cang Jin carried her back to the room, put her on the bed, and stared intently at her. Since she could see him, he no longer needed to hide, although he had never actually tried.
An hour later, Shen Muqing opened her eyes shakily. The scene before she fainted was still in her mind. As soon as she woke up, she looked around warily.
When her gaze fell upon that tall, slender figure, her legs went weak and she knelt on the bed again. "Please, have mercy on me! I didn't kill anyone or set any fires. I'm a good person!"
Isn't it said that good people are rewarded? How come her good fortune hasn't come yet, but bad karma has come after her?
"look up."
The male voice is very textured, deep and magnetic, with an irresistible quality.
Shen Muqing kept her head tucked under the covers, refusing to look up.
"If you don't look up, I'll slit your throat."
Cang Jin stood in front of the bed and said threateningly, his words clearly joking. Looking at the girl curled up like a little rabbit, his eyes darkened involuntarily, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"I'll carry it, I'll carry it, please don't kill me, waaaaah~"
She hasn't spent all her money yet; she can't just die so easily. She hasn't completed her mission.
Shen Muqing was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with mist, and as she vaguely looked up, she saw a very handsome face appear before her.
"Why are you crying?" Cang Jin raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, hooked her chin, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "Look at me, don't you recognize me?"
Looking at his face and his attire, no one should be more familiar with him than Shen Muqing.
"I don't know you, I haven't done anything to wrong you, please let me go."
Shen Muqing kept backing away, shaking her head, "I swear, I wouldn't even step on a little ant on the road, how could I have a grudge against you?"
"Is that so?" Cang Jin leaned down, his handsome face only centimeters from Shen Muqing's eyes, their breaths mingling.
"But you killed me."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, murder is illegal."
Upon hearing that someone dared to slander her, Shen Muqing jumped up and pointed at him, shouting, "You're spouting nonsense! You're talking rubbish!"
Cang Jin pulled her hand to his chest, "Qingqing, that sword hurt so much."
"Are you stupid?" His hands were so cold that Shen Muqing involuntarily shivered, as if a poisonous snake had crawled onto her hand.
Shen Muqing had no idea what he was talking about. He only knew that he was probably not a ghost from the modern world, that he had been dead for a long time, and that he was still wearing ancient costume.
"You've got the wrong person. Why don't you go find someone else? I'm begging you, brother. I'm so scared."
"I haven't made a mistake, it's you."
Cang Jin's smile remained unchanged, and the curve of his lips became even more pronounced.
"Brother, I don't even know who you are. I have no grudge against you. Do you think I'm just bored and have nothing better to do?" Shen Muqing's body yielded, but his mouth remained stubborn.
"Yes, we have no grudge against each other, why did you want to kill me?"
"Is it that I can't understand you? Were you mentally challenged before you died? Couldn't you understand human speech?"
Instantly, the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees. Shen Muqing leaned against the bedside table guiltily, "Okay, it was my mistake to say you were mentally challenged. I apologize to you."
"But I really don't know you, please let me go, brother."
"Azure Ashes".
"?"
Shen Muqing hadn't reacted yet, and it took her a while to remember that this was the villain from her previous comic.
"Big brother, you read comics down there too? Look, we have the same hobby. I like reading comics too."
"You not only like it, you can also draw."
Cang Jin's cool voice echoed in the small room.
“A kindred spirit, that’s right, you noticed all of this.” Shen Muqing stood up, straightened his clothes, and cleared his throat. “The character you just mentioned was drawn by me.”
Shen Muqing gave him a look that said, "Don't worship me too much, keep a low profile."
"You admit that you drew it?"
"Yes, it was drawn by me. Don't be too obsessed with me."
She didn't catch the hidden meaning in his words, still engrossed in her own comic that even people in the underworld could read it, and that people from hundreds or even thousands of years ago—she was truly amazing.
