"I'll offer one million!"
Yin Ming's voice echoed throughout the venue, attracting the attention of the host and the audience.
Even Lingyao and Yaoling turned to look at Yin Ming in surprise, not understanding why he was so excited.
Yin Ming rolled his eyes around, noticing the awkward silence that seemed to freeze in the air. He released the button, coughed lightly twice, and tried to appear calm and composed.
As long as he's not embarrassed, it's everyone else who's embarrassed!
The host on stage breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that the unknown ring wouldn't sell, but now not only had someone bid, but the price had doubled. She immediately raised her voice in a relaxed tone:
"The guest in private room 201 offered one million. Are there any other guests who would offer a higher price?"
Her response was complete silence.
Yin Ming also realized that no one wanted the ring; he was the only one who foolishly raised the price. Well, he was ripped off again.
But none of that matters. As long as that ring is truly a Soul Ring, then it's worth any amount of money!
That was Yin Ming's greatest asset in surviving!
When the male protagonist comes to settle scores after his rebirth, he can simply hide in his soul ring and play dead, and everything will be solved!
Once the male protagonist has calmed down and is receptive to what he's saying, he'll emerge from the ring and explain that it was all a misunderstanding.
In this way, the male protagonist also achieved rebirth, and he didn't have to die. It was a win-win situation!
Oh right, that's only if the male lead doesn't abuse his corpse.
But since their relationship is so good now, if they ask the male lead to leave them a complete corpse, he probably won't refuse.
Yin Ming nodded to himself, thinking that there shouldn't be any major problems.
***
Yin Ming was in a great mood all day after buying some nice things. When he went to the clothing store to pick up the clothes he had made for Ling Yao, he generously gave her an extra tip.
Just as Yin Ming stepped out of the shop, intending to meet up with the male and female protagonists, he noticed that Ling Yao was staring at the sugar painting stall next to him, her eyes filled with longing.
He immediately went to the stall, pretending that he wanted to eat it himself, and bought three sugar paintings of different shapes, giving the other two to Lingyao and Yaoling.
Yin Ming picked up the butterfly sugar painting in his hand and took a bite. The sugar threads melted in his mouth, and the taste of coarse white sugar filled his mouth. Tsk, I'll eat it.
The sugar paintings made by this vendor had a strange smell, I don't know if the ingredients weren't washed properly or what.
Yin Ming frowned and looked back at the stall. He had originally planned to look at the signboard and remember the name to avoid making the same mistake again, but his eyes lit up when he saw the market behind the sugar painting stall.
***
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
With nothing else to do in the room, Yin Ming took out all the spoils he had acquired from his street-hopping adventure that day and laid them out one by one on the tea table in the center of the room.
The more Yin Ming looked at the ring, the more pleasing it became to the eye. Based on its attractive design, he put it on the index finger of his right hand and played with it for a while, unable to put it down.
The candlelight placed on the corner of the tea table was suddenly stirred by the wind. Yin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, turned around, and gave a respectful but not servile bow.
He had already locked all the doors and windows, so how could there suddenly be a draft in the room? The only explanation is that the guards are about to come out and give him a lecture again.
Just as Yin Ming bowed, the figure of the secret guard appeared in front of him.
Yin Ming straightened up, looking all serious and ready to give orders, but in his heart he was thinking, "I'm not listening, this is just nonsense."
What the guard said next made Yin Ming feel incredulous, and he even wondered if he was dreaming. Otherwise, how could he hear such an unscientific statement?
"Could you say it again?" Yin Ming's eyes were full of thirst for knowledge; at this moment, he resembled a student eager to explore the sea of learning.
The guard's cold voice came again. Although his words were exactly the same as before and devoid of emotion, Yin Ming still felt that the messenger was actually so kind and cute!
"The elder said that the real purpose of sending you to the young master's side was to stimulate the resentment in the young master and allow him to be reborn."
"But you took it upon yourself to disrupt the plan, causing the young master's state of mind to change and making the resentment within him no longer pure."
"This mistake should have been punished, but fortunately there is still a way to redeem it. From this day forward, you must do your best to be good to the young master and make him trust and rely on you."
"When the time is right, I will send someone to kill you in front of the young master. This will ignite the young master's resentment and put everything back on track."
"Don't worry, I won't really kill you, I'll just make you fake your death."
"Remember, I can forgive and forget what happened before, but if you make any mistakes again from now on, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Furthermore, what I have discussed today is a top secret of my Demonic Sect. If even the slightest leak is made, you will be held responsible!"
It was obvious that the guards had completely repeated the elder's words without changing a single word, but that did not prevent Yin Ming from understanding the meaning behind them.
In other words, he can now openly and legitimately cultivate his relationship with the male lead?
In this plan, his role changed from that of an abuser to that of a devoted admirer?
This plan is brilliant! This way, the male protagonist won't hate him anymore after his rebirth!
Yin Ming's eyes lit up immediately. Happiness came too suddenly, and he even wondered if he was still asleep and daydreaming.
What a wonderful day it is today! Why are all the happy events he's been hoping for happening one after another!
Yin Ming didn't know how to express his joy for a while, so he could only hug a pillow, bury his head in it, and shout and laugh as if venting his emotions, rolling around on the bed.
That's wonderful!
Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, he actually managed to find a way out. Yin Ming felt like a prisoner about to be executed who was suddenly declared innocent and released. Waaah, finally, finally, he made it through!
***
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao!" Yin Ming, who had been excited all night, couldn't sleep at all. As soon as it was dawn, he couldn't wait to knock on Ling Yao's door.
Yin Ming is really looking forward to seeing the male lead! He wants to make up for all the goodwill he missed before, and max it out!
Less than half a minute later, Lingyao pushed open the door: "Yin Ming, is there something you need that you're looking for me in such a hurry?"
Looking at Ling Yao's warm smile, Yin Ming couldn't help but grin foolishly: "Hehe, I have something I want to give you. Come back to the room with me."
Without waiting for Lingyao's reaction, she grabbed his hand and turned to walk towards her room.
Yin Ming pressed Ling Yao down onto a chair behind the screen and told him not to peek. Then, he walked mysteriously to the tea table in the center of the room and turned on the small stove on the table.
The air seemed to be filled with the fresh scent of oranges. Through the gauze screen, Lingyao could only vaguely see Yin Ming's busy figure.
"Wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon~" Yin Ming was afraid that Ling Yao would be unable to resist his curiosity and come out to check, so he called out to remind him again.
Ling Yao nodded obediently, then, remembering that Yin Ming couldn't see him from the outside, he said, "Okay."
Yin Ming used a small shovel to make dozens of cuts on the semi-solidified liquid, dividing it into small squares. Then he put the lid back on, covered the outer furnace wall with his hands, and used his own resentment to accelerate the solidification of the liquid.
The plan was to finish preparing before calling the male lead over, but Yin Ming was too excited and couldn't control his thoughts.
Furthermore, let the male lead see this carefully; it's something Yin Ming made himself. That way, he'll appreciate Yin Ming's kindness even more when he eats it later.
"Knock knock knock... Young Master Yin, are you awake?"
A slightly deep voice suddenly came from outside the door. Yin Ming turned his head and thought for a long time before he finally remembered that it was the voice of Lord Yao.
