Jiang Yuan could see what it could see; resentment was already surrounding the girl, and she was about to explode.
Even at this moment, Jiang Yuan remained calm and composed!
Hmph, just wait and see, the world is about to descend into chaos!
Because Jiang Yuan released him, causing chaos, Jiang Yuan will be the culprit!
"I'm so sorry, Zi, the line at the Clarins cake shop was too long, so we're late. I'm really sorry." Before the girl could react, the young man continued.
"Klass? Hmph, that's a store only available in S City! It takes several hours to get to S City from here, even by plane. I just saw you yesterday, and today you told me you were at work. How did you get to Klass?"
"Zhou Zixuan, are you lying to me?!"
The girl put her hands on her hips and asked with an air of elegance.
"No, no, Zhou Cheng opened a KLAS branch, and it's opening today."
“I know you really like Clarins cakes, so... I took a ride to Zhoucheng District as soon as I got off work. I thought there would be fewer people since it was so remote, but I didn’t expect to find such a long queue. By the time it was my turn, the cakes were almost sold out. Luckily, there was still one matcha cake left that you like.”
The teenager explained, then took out a beautifully packaged cake box and handed it to the girl in front of him.
The cake box is transparent around the edges, so you can see that it contains matcha cake.
It may be a small piece, but it represents the other person's heartfelt sentiment.
"It really is a cake from Claes! You... you were late for our date just to go to Zhoucheng and queue up to buy me a cake?" the girl exclaimed in surprise. Her initial resentment at waiting for the boy had vanished.
Instead, they felt joy and delight.
The taxi fare to Zhoucheng was enough to buy several large cakes, but she still took a taxi to Zhoucheng for the cakes she liked and even waited in a long line there.
How could she possibly be angry when he did that?
However, you can't show it on your face!
“Well, didn’t you say the month before last that you really wanted to go to S City again and have another bite of Claes’ cake? Today, a colleague told me that Claes opened a branch in H City, so I went there after get off work, but… I didn’t expect the line to be so long.”
"I'm sorry, Zi, I promise I won't be late next time!"
Teenagers are guaranteed the way.
"Silly boy, I'll forgive you this time for the sake of the cake," the girl said softly, then walked over to the teenager, took the cake from his hands, and took his arm.
Fool, what a fool.
"Let's go, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll pay for this meal!" The girl took the teenager's hand, turned her back to the Ghost King, and left, weaving through the crowd.
The Ghost King stared in disbelief at the two departing figures.
"How could this be? How could this happen... Just now, that girl was clearly about to explode and get angry. She was clearly full of resentment, but... how did she suddenly disappear? Even my wisp of resentment couldn't affect her at all."
How could this be?
The Ghost King was dumbfounded.
This is completely different from the Li Kingdom a thousand years ago.
“Because people have other emotions besides resentment,” Jiang Yuan replied.
"No, no, I don't believe it! This must be a trick you've used! You brought me here on purpose!" The Ghost King didn't believe it and thought it was Jiang Yuan's scheme.
The scene he is seeing now is all an illusion that Jiang Yuan wants to show him!
It's an illusion, it must be an illusion.
It's all an illusion!
"You can go wherever you want."
"My only restriction on you is that you cannot harm humans. Otherwise, you are free to go wherever you want."
Seeing that the gradually collapsing Ghost King did not believe it, Jiang Yuan spoke up.
The Ghost King gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and disappeared in front of Jiang Yuan.
He didn't trust Jiang Yuan; he wanted to go to the place where resentment was concentrated!
Jiang Yuan sighed softly and glanced at the camera facing the Ghost King.
She made a hand seal, and the camera suddenly started emitting white smoke again, malfunctioning.
Jiang Yuan felt guilty, but there was nothing she could do.
If those people saw someone disappear from the camera's view, it would definitely cause panic.
Then, Jiang Yuan's figure disappeared along with the Ghost King.
The next second, the two appeared in a dilapidated residential area.
Looking at this familiar neighborhood, Jiang Yuan sighed with emotion.
She never expected that after leaving the old neighborhood, she would end up back here again.
Indeed, most residents in old neighborhoods are filled with resentment.
There are many people who harbor resentment because they can't earn money, or because of livelihood or family trivialities.
but--
They wouldn't commit murder or arson simply because they harbor resentment.
“There’s even more resentment here!” Hearing Jiang Yuan sigh softly, the Ghost King mistakenly thought she was afraid and spoke up.
After saying that, he strode forward toward his wife, who was hurrying home.
The resentment in this old woman is even stronger than that in the girl from before; he can definitely control her!
However, before he could even get close enough to do anything, the old woman started cursing, "You damned thing, who are you trying to scare in broad daylight?"
"Let me tell you, my old woman has a heart condition. If you scare her to death, you'll have to pay compensation! You'll be bankrupt from it!"
"What bad luck! No wonder the calendar said I couldn't go out today. I stepped out and stepped in dog poop without even looking. I even got some trash on my pants while taking out the trash. It smelled awful. I was just thinking of going home as fast as I could, but who would have thought I'd run into a weirdo like you."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think it was some ancient relic that had risen from the dead."
The old woman cursed at Ning Chi and then strode away.
