A cold gust of wind blew by...
The woman with a bronze nail hammered into the center of her forehead appeared by the middle-aged ghost's side.
She numbly raised her hand and gently tugged at the middle-aged ghost.
In midair, a twisting shadow was pulled from under the middle-aged ghost's feet as the woman clutched it in her hand like putty, gently kneading it.
After a long time...
She slowly pressed the shadow to the ground beneath her feet.
Though she originally had no shadow, a shadow suddenly appeared...
And a glimmer of color seemed to flash through her eyes.
The middle-aged ghost, meanwhile, fell straight down to the ground, its body rapidly decaying into a dried corpse.
The woman silently turned around, her gaze looking in the direction Wang Ye had left. A hint of contemplation actually glimmered in her eyes for a brief moment before disappearing from the spot.
...
By the roadside, Wang Ye propped Zhou Han against a tree while he sat on the ground, continuously panting heavily.
The pain in his chest ceaselessly stimulated Wang Ye’s nerves.
Cupping his chest, Wang Ye lightly coughed.
After a long time...
Zhou Han slowly opened her eyes, a flash of coldness in her gaze,
But in the next second it changed into a sweet smile as she looked at Wang Ye, “I knew you wouldn’t abandon me!”
Her pale complexion and sweet smile made one involuntarily want to dote on her.
But Wang Ye just glanced at her indifferently, “To be honest, I really want to kill you.”
“Your intelligence network... Hmph...”
Wang Ye silently mocked. As expected, he didn’t know what he was thinking back then to actually believe this woman.
Zhou Han pouted, letting out a soft humph, “Nevermind my intel, you got the Thunder Fruit and prayer beads, right!”
As she spoke, Zhou Han angrily turned her head away in a tantrum.
But after a long time without hearing Wang Ye comfort her...
“Give me the prayer beads...”
Zhou Han silently held out her delicate little hand.
Wang Ye smiled and placed the prayer beads in Zhou Han's hand, “Get some rest. The road back might not be smooth either.”
“Humph!”
Zhou Han, her face full of discontent, pursed her lips and wore the prayer beads on her fair wrist.
"Ah, my hair!"
Feeling her scalp turn cool, she subconsciously touched it and found a small tuft of hair missing from the top of her forehead, leaving behind a faint scar.
Having probably figured out what happened, Zhou Han’s whole being grew irritable like a little chili pepper as she gnashed her teeth, "This is maddening, no way, I have to go back and destroy it!"
As she spoke, Zhou Han rolled up her sleeves and gritted her teeth as she stood up.
Only after noticing Wang Ye had been using a strange gaze to silently watch her the entire time did Zhou Han weakly sit back down.
"You didn't even offer to help me up."
She said grievously as she lovingly tidied her hair, full of distress.
Heh...
Wang Ye lightly laughed twice without bothering with this mad woman anymore. Instead, he closed his eyes to rest.
The atmosphere gradually quieted down.
After a long time... Wang Ye carefully applied talisman paper to his hand again and felt his energy be suppressed. He breathed a sigh of relief.
As an esper, ceaselessly sensing the passage of life was a frightening thing.
Meanwhile, Zhou Han had also quietly opened her eyes at some point and looked at Wang Ye with a frosty expression, flatly saying, "We can go now."
"Sometimes I suddenly feel..."
"This kind of mood suits you better."
Wang Ye smiled slightly at Zhou Han as he stood up and slowly left along the same road they had come by.
Zhou Han followed behind Wang Ye, watching his back. A strange glimmer flashed in her icy eyes.
After a long time...
"As expected, not just anyone can come to the Wastelands!"
Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Wang Ye ridiculed while looking at the city before him.
Zhou Han silently glanced at Wang Ye, her eyes complex, "At least only those who've staked their all have the right to say that."
"On the way here, you didn't even use your psychic powers, you're that afraid of death..."
As she spoke, Zhou Han flipped her middle finger at Wang Ye.
"Heh, ignorant woman." Wang Ye indifferently glanced at Zhou Han and showed his ID to the inspector at the city gate. After confirming his identity, he returned to the city.
Zhou Han helplessly sighed and similarly went inside.
...
"Well, nice cooperation!"
"This was our first cooperation. I also hope it's our last!"
Feeling the coming and going of people, Wang Ye's mood smoothed out a lot. He smiled indifferently at Zhou Han, "Oh right, I welded the windows shut, warrior."
"So give up the idea of sneaking into my house to attack me."
After speaking, Wang Ye hummed a tune with his hands behind his back like an old man who had just eaten his fill and went for a stroll, disappearing into the crowd.
For some reason... his mentality seemed to have gradually grown younger after his rebirth.
"Heh..."
Watching Wang Ye's departing back, a mysterious smile emerged from the corners of Zhou Han's mouth.
...
"Damn, woman, are you endless..."
Wang Ye opened his room door to see Zhou Han sitting on the sofa, smiling at him. A black line ran down his head.
In the air, a golden knife ceaselessly danced before Wang Ye, provoking his nerves.
The corner of Wang Ye's eye twitched as he slapped the knife away, "How did you get in this time?"
"If I can control the window handles, I can naturally control the door too..." Zhou Han looked at Wang Ye, sweetly smiling with her eyes narrowed like crescent moons.
"..."
Wang Ye deeply inhaled, "Really a madwoman... If you don't leave, I'll make a move."
"Ah, I'm not ready yet!" Zhou Han's face suddenly flushed red as she shyly looked at Wang Ye.
"..."
Zhou Han giggled twice as she stood up, "Just joking, I only wanted to prove that welding the windows shut can't stop me!"
"I'm tired, going home to rest!"
Speaking, Zhou Han coughed twice and put on a serious appearance, patting Wang Ye's shoulder before opening the door and leaving.
Under Wang Ye's gaze, she calmly opened the door to the next room over.
Wang Ye: ???
"Oh right, starting today, I'm your new neighbor!" Standing in the doorway, Zhou Han sweetly smiled at Wang Ye before closing the door.
The corner of Wang Ye's mouth faintly twitched.
"Looks like I should consider moving..."
Closing the door, Wang Ye's eyes flashed with contemplation.
On the other side, inside the room, the smile on Zhou Han's face gradually disappeared as she maturely sat on the sofa, a contemplative look flashing through her eyes.
After a long time...
A mysterious smile emerged at the corners of her mouth.
...
Below Wang Ye's building, the woman with a bronze nail in her forehead stood in the residential area, raising her head with vacant eyes silently watching Wang Ye's window.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
ng, and even slandered me for harassing the waitress. You all need to stand up for me, your boss! @everyone!" Special Forces King Lin Chen: "No useless messages in the main group! Message retracted!" An Yi: "Damn it! Poker face, give me the group admin rights!" Martial Arts Emperor Fang Jueming: "Master, what happened? I'm coming to save you!" Disowned Young Master Bai Xiu: "I finally got three months of sleep, and you woke me up with that @. What did you retract?" Reincarnator Chen Bing: "Can't even handle such a trivial matter? Boss, don't blame me for looking down on you (pushes glasses up)." Reborn Shangguan Qianqian: "Oh, harassing a waitress? Does Mu Xuan know about this?" An Yi: "No, it's not like that, Qianqian, let me explain!" Poison Doctor Zhang Fan: "Ahem, need some sterilization drugs? I just learned a new recipe, works pretty well." Sword Saint Xiao Ye: "A sword will do the trick, guaranteed not a drop of blood." Fire God Ye Tian: "Let's think about how to save An Yi. Is he in danger? I'm not too familiar with the rules of your world." Son-in-law Dragon Long Aoyun: "Already gathered 100,000 troops, on the way." An Yi: "..." An Yi: "@Son-in-law Dragon Long Aoyun, bro, no, don't be impulsive, just transfer some money!"
