Floating to your side (28)
"You..." Wen Ting blinked and looked at the girl in confusion, "Why did you end up on her?"
Shen Tang was stunned and looked at him with her big eyes. She didn't let Wen Ting see when she floated into the body of Miss Zhu just now. How come this guy was so sensitive that he could immediately notice that there was a new soul in the shell?
"What are you talking about?" Shen Tang's eyes curved slightly, but a hint of smile appeared in his dark eyes. "If I heard correctly, Master Wen and I only have a marriage contract arranged by our families. Master Wen doesn't care, so why should he worry that I would care?"
Wen Ting was so anxious that he made several mouth shapes but couldn't say anything. He saw Shen Tang walked out of the Zhu family gate and went somewhere else, so he had to quickly follow behind her, "It's very dangerous for you to do this. What will you do if she wakes up?"
Shen Tang naturally knew what Wen Ting meant, but the boys around Wen Ting didn't know. They just watched their friend reject the girl with a righteous speech one moment and then followed her happily the next moment, and they couldn't help but show a playful look on their faces.
"Hey, you just clarified your relationship with him, but now you're joining in," several people said with a smile, "So we're the foils. If that's the case, we'd better not get involved in the fun in front of Master Wen."
The boy who was going to take Wen Ting away left the Zhu family's door with a smile, leaving Shen Tang and Wen Ting alone. Shen Tang had no intention of explaining anything to Wen Ting, but this guy kept pestering her, asking endless questions unless she gave him an explanation. Shen Tang then sighed and held her forehead.
"Don't ask. Don't worry. The owner of this body is fine, and so am I. I just need to borrow her body for a while."
Wen Ting then stopped behind Shen Tang and relaxed his body. "I'm glad you're okay. I was really worried that you would have some adverse reactions after entering this body. In fact, if you don't mind, you can also borrow my body!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Who wants to use your body?" If she uses Wen Ting's body, how can she complete this inevitable death journey?
Wen Ting stole a glance at Shen Tang and curled his lips: "I knew you wouldn't want me to get into trouble. By the way, how should I address you? Although you are Miss Zhu now, you are not the same person after all. I don't want to address you by her name."
Shen Tang stopped walking, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Wen Ting, "Then just call me Atang." Anyway, Wen Ting had always called her that outside this passage to the afterlife. If he changed the name, she would feel a little uncomfortable.
"Atang," the boy chewed on the word over and over again, and after a moment he smiled happily and said, "What a nice name. But how long can you stay here? How about this, I'll take you around here and show you some interesting things!"
After saying that, Wen Ting grabbed Shen Tang's sleeve as if he was familiar with her and pulled her in one direction. Shen Tang didn't know why Wen Ting was so familiar with her when he had no relevant memory of reality, but she still followed him to the good place he mentioned.
If Wen Ting had not died in this passage to the afterlife, let alone reincarnation, her soul and Liu Ling's soul would not have been able to return.
In order to open the death line with the half-completed mission, the sorcerer who played a significant role in the mission must be found. At this time, Wen Ting will not expose her. Only the profit-driven sorcerer will look for the wandering souls in this world for the conditions offered by another family. When he sees her, he will definitely find ways to take her away, and Wen Ting's death line may be opened.
Shen Tang was thinking as he followed Wen Ting slowly until they came to a pond and stopped.
"Is this the fun place you mentioned?" Shen Tang raised her eyebrows slightly, her puzzled eyes wandering around the familiar flower pond in front of her. Apart from the blooming flowers, she didn't see anything new around the pond.
Wen Ting clenched his fist and coughed softly. The red clouds around his ears still did not fall. With a twinkling look in his eyes, he explained in a low voice, "That's not right. Isn't it said that girls love to appreciate flowers the most? I heard that group of boys said so, so they brought you here to appreciate flowers."
The boy hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Don't you like it here? If not, I can take you somewhere else to play! There are still many good places nearby!"
Shen Tang's eyes twitched. It turned out that this boy thought she was an ordinary girl who liked to appreciate flowers. But it couldn't be said that she didn't like to appreciate flowers. It was just that she had seen this place during the last mission. At that time, she was brought here every few days by Wen Ting. She came here so often that she naturally didn't have any reaction when she returned here this time.
"It's not that I don't like it, but I've seen a lot of flowers and plants on a daily basis, so I'm not interested in the flowers in this pond." Shen Tang thought for a long time before finding a reason to explain. In order to change the topic, she asked curiously, "By the way, I want to take a look at your place of worship. Is there anything like me there?"
Wen Ting, who was originally sad because Shen Tang didn't like the flower pond, was immediately full of energy when he heard that she was interested in it. He patted his chest and said, "So you are interested in that kind of place. But don't worry, leave it to me. I will take you to see the place where everyone worships. But there is one thing that may disappoint you. Our place of worship has always been taken over by a sorcerer. I have never seen any soul other than yours on weekdays."
"It seems that you and I are compatible," Wen Ting's burning gaze fell on Shen Tang. She could only quickly turn her head away and pretend not to notice the other's gaze.
Since Wen Ting said that the place was taken over by a sorcerer, I guess this sorcerer is the one who did all kinds of evil when Wen Ting was alive.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't we hurry up?" Shen Tang subconsciously took a step forward to go to the ancestral hall, but she took just one step and suddenly remembered that she was still a new soul in front of Wen Ting and should not know the location of their ancestral hall. So she swallowed again, took a step back, and moved back to Wen Ting's side.
"Mr. Wen, right? Thank you for leading the way," Shen Tang laughed and made a "please" gesture with one hand. Wen Ting then carefully took Shen Tang's arm.
"Otherwise, I'd better take you somewhere else. I'm worried that you'll be in danger there." Wen Ting hesitated for a moment before expressing his concerns. "That sorcerer has always been in charge of our worship here. I'm worried that he will discover your existence. Atang, you'd better not go. You just came to this unfamiliar place. It would be bad if you were captured by that sorcerer."
"Ah?" Shen Tang's head tilted involuntarily. She made this request because she was eager to meet the sorcerer. She didn't expect that Wen Ting, who had no memory outside the channel, was so afraid that something might happen to her.
"It's okay. I'm already in this body, so nothing will happen to me. Besides, your place of worship is very popular. I'm just going to take a look. I'm not doing anything bad, so the sorcerer won't be able to find me!"
"But......"
"Oh, don't say buts, you've already promised me, don't go back on your word!" The girl widened her eyes and glared at him. Wen Ting sighed slightly and admitted his defeat, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there, but you must follow me, otherwise it will be a disaster if something goes wrong."
After getting Wen Ting's consent, Shen Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was what she had been waiting for! If only the sorcerer was there, she would be able to complete her mission soon! When the time comes, she will definitely settle accounts with the general system and Li Jin's family!
Shen Tang, who looked calm but was actually smiling inside, followed Wen Ting obediently. Wen Ting originally wanted to hold her arm, but as they walked, his hand slipped to Shen Tang's wrist. When he touched the silver bracelet on her wrist, she felt like she was struck by lightning, and her legs froze in place.
"Mr. Wen, what's wrong with you?" Shen Tang was wondering how the bracelet that the ghost baby put on his hand could also be on this body's hand. Wen Ting stood there as if petrified. Shen Tang was so scared that he quickly waved his hand in front of his eyes again and again.
Could it be that this bracelet has some kind of immobilizing function? Otherwise, why would Wen Ting be frozen in place?
Fortunately, Wen Ting's freezing time was not long. Soon, his steps landed steadily on the ground again, and he continued to pull people along as if nothing had happened. He seemed to have no idea what had just happened, but he was walking in the opposite direction of the ancestral hall.
"Wen Ting, are you okay?" Although the other party seemed fine, Shen Tang still asked worriedly, "Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
Wen Ting paused slightly, and the fingertips that had grabbed her wrist grasped her palm tightly without knowing when. He half-closed his eyes and turned his gentle gaze back to Shen Tang's face, "I'm fine. On the contrary, Atang, are you getting used to living here?"
After saying this, he pulled his hand back and gently pressed Shen Tang's shoulder. His voice was like a brush brushing against her ear. "Madam is willing to return to this afterlife passage for me. Naturally, I am grateful to you."
It's not right. Nine out of eight things are not right!
Shen Tang immediately tried to get out of the man's arms, but the man held her tightly in his arms as if he had eaten Popeye's spinach, and would not let her out of his sight.
“No, what’s going on?” This person has obviously connected to the memories of the outside world, but why would Wen Ting remember things outside? Shouldn’t people in the afterlife channel only have memories of their own lives?
Shen Tang was reflecting on what was wrong until the silver bracelet on his wrist hit someone again and he reacted.
Is this the bracelet that the ghost baby gave her?
