Not only did Su Ling and his group achieve good results this time, but most of the students in the school have also improved a little compared to before.
When the results were announced, a girl in front of the bulletin board burst into tears of joy: “Wah, this is the first time I’ve ranked in the top one hundred while chasing the campus idol… Now, my mom won’t scold me for idol chasing affecting my studies anymore!”
One of the campus celebrities, Chang Wu:…
Apart from those inexplicably inspired by their idols, a few students’ unusual behaviour caught Su Ling’s attention.
Su Ling nudged Sheng Ze’s shoulder, pondering, “Are those few the ones who refused to leave the library that day?”
Following Su Ling’s gaze, Sheng Ze glanced over.
The students Su Ling pointed out stood far away, silently avoiding the crowd. However, from their expressions, these few were filled with gratitude and relaxation, completely different from the heavy, depressed, and distressed state they had been in a few days prior.
—It’s as if they’ve been freed from some kind of curse.
Su Ling rubbed his chin, “I have a guess…”
Sheng Ze glanced at him from the corner of his eye, half-smiling, “It’s easy to verify, don’t we happen to have a bait?”
Su Ling paused, tilting his head, “Do you know what I want to say?”
Because your thoughts are often written all over your face…
Sheng Ze stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, profoundly saying, “Perhaps this is what they call telepathy.”
That night, H High1Honestly from all the yellow books I’ve read… High H is actually for like… really really kinky ones fell into a deep sleep, and the dormitory building was quiet.
“Zi-la—Zi-la—”
The light bulb in the corridor flickered on and off a couple of times, and a slender ghostly figure quietly emerged from the bathroom’s exhaust fan.
The ghostly figure extended its chopstick-thin hand, waved it under its nose as if bothered by something.
Then, it stuck to the wall like a gecko, silently drifted along the corridor to a dorm room.
Inside the dorm room, Chang Wu suddenly opened his eyes.
“Ge.”
Softly, Chang Bai’s voice rang in his ear.
Chang Wu frowned as he surveyed his surroundings. The opposite bed only had messy bedding and pillows left behind, with Chang Bai nowhere to be found.
“Ge, I’m here.”
Chang Bai’s voice seemed to be coming from outside the door.
“Xiao Bai?” Chang Wu suddenly raised his head and, as if under a spell, opened the dorm room door.
Outside the door was pitch black. Not to mention Chang Bai, even the streetlights outside seemed to have gone out, with no light in sight.
“Ge, you’re so slow.”
Chang Bai’s voice sounded aggrieved. Compared to before, the voice seemed to have become more distant.
Chang Wu turned uncontrollably and walked step by step towards the end of the corridor.
If someone were standing in front of Chang Wu at that moment, they would see a layer of haze over his once mischievous eyes, now dull and lifeless, a symptom of being completely ensnared by ghosts.
Following Chang Bai’s voice, Chang Wu numbly walked out of the dormitory building.
The moon seemed to be obscured by heavy clouds, and there was still no light outside the dormitory building.
However, in this thick darkness, a long shadow was distinctly visible beneath Chang Wu’s feet.
The shadow was dark with a hint of red, not only different in body shape from Chang Wu but also exuding a completely different aura. Although the shadow’s features were indiscernible, a sense of evil emanated from it at a glance.
Chang Wu continued stepping into the endless darkness.
A moment later, Su Ling and Sheng Ze also walked out of the dormitory building.
Su Ling glanced in the direction Chang Wu had left, uncertain, “Is that the direction to the library?”
Sheng Ze glanced at him, sounding strange, “Can you tell where the library is?”
Su Ling: “…I can’t, but I turned on the navigation.”
With that, he shook his phone, which was displaying a clear “Gaode Maps.”
Sheng Ze, looking at the words on the screen, rubbed his forehead in frustration, expressing total acceptance of technology, “This road doesn’t actually lead to the library.”
Su Ling pursed his lips, unhappy, “So we guessed wrong.”
“Not necessarily.” Sheng Ze’s expression softened, smiling as he reached out to ruffle the boss’s head, soothingly saying, “Let’s go, we’ll follow and see.”
Chang Wu walked unperceivingly into the small forest behind the mountain.
Then, suddenly, he stopped and began to look around.
Sheng Ze and Su Ling, who were following from afar, were caught off guard, almost being exposed.
Fortunately, Tuanzi who had followed along reacted quickly, instantly filling his body with air and standing in front of the two.
So, the first thing the ghostly shadow saw when it looked back was a round, white “ball”.
‘Chang Wu’ seemed to pause, looking at the hazy sky and then at the giant bun in front of him, muttering to himself, “Has the moon fallen down?”
Sheng Ze and Su Ling both twitched their mouths, allowing Tuanzi to hug them softly, then smoothly rolling down the slope of the small forest.
Conveniently, there was a large pit behind the bushes big enough to accommodate Tuanzi.
With a “plop,” Tuanzi landed steadily.
—The whole process looked like a large dumpling willingly rolling itself into a pot, extremely comical.
The bushes blocked ‘Chang Wu’s’ line of sight.
‘Chang Wu’ standing in place tilted his head in confusion, then as if remembering something, his expression changed. After a few seconds, the haziness in ‘Chang Wu’s’ eyes slowly receded, and his normal look returned.
Chang Wu seemed not at all surprised by the strange fact of finding himself in the small forest.
With his hands in his pockets, he casually walked to a spot, looking down at the three in disarray on the ground.
Tuanzi acted as a shield, being pressed down by two not-so-light ‘heavy ghosts’, soft like a quilt.
Above Tuanzi, Sheng Ze and Su Ling were entangled, limbs intertwined, embracing each other.
Chang Wu lowered his eyes, coldly observing them.
Su Ling blushed and quickly explained, “Let me explain, this isn’t what you think it is…”
Sheng Ze seized the back of Su Ling’s head, flipped him over, pressing him down, then affectionately rubbed his cheek against Su Ling’s forehead.
He then provocatively turned back, with a subtle sense of pride, showing off, “No, it’s exactly what you see.”
Tuanzi underneath joyfully “purred”, turning completely pink.
Su Ling was itching to slap this old rogue to death.
Since the night Su Ling shocked Sheng Ze by mentioning inappropriate books, Sheng Ze had often felt regret deep down—regret for not taking advantage of the situation to take advantage.
It wasn’t until today that he finally felt he had won back a point.
Chang Wu tugged at the corner of his mouth, calmly spoke, his tone as cold as ever, “Congratulations.”
The Ghost King was in high spirits, his smile on his face almost blinding Tuanzi’s eyes, “Thank you.”
Chang Wu nodded indifferently, looking at them coldly, “But do you know how hard it was for me to pretend to be deceived along the way? And just because you didn’t hide well, the fish we finally hooked ran away.”
Su Ling shuddered, “This is the first time I’ve heard Xiao Wu say so much to my face…”
Chang Bai grinned and poked his head out from the side, “That’s because he only talks like this when he’s really angry. The angrier he is, the more words he has.”
Su Ling subconsciously started counting the number of words in this sentence with his fingers…
After finishing counting, Su Ling looked at Chang Bai in despair.
Chang Bai extended a finger, made a “shh” gesture, still smiling, “It’s no use, boss. I can’t stop my ge when he’s angry.”
“Sorry.” Sheng Ze’s apology sounded insincere, but his next words instantly brightened Chang Wu’s face.
“I’ll offer a Pearl of the Medicine King as compensation.” Sheng Ze lazily got up from Su Ling.
Chang Wu pursed his lips, a hint of crimson flashing at the corner of his eye, “Hmm.”
Chang Bai sighed helplessly, shaking his head, “It’s over, it’s over. My ge has gone completely crazy.”
Su Ling also got up from the ground, then shook Tuanzi that had been flattened, reshaping it into a silkworm baby-like form.
“What is the Pearl of the Medicine King?” Su Ling asked curiously.
“It’s said to be a pill made by the Medicine King from the eight rarest herbs in the world, capable of curing the weaknesses brought from the fetal stage.” Chang Bai explained, looking at Chang Wu with a hint of helplessness and indulgence in his eyes.
“I have an affliction, and even after becoming a ghost, I tend to feel weak easily. My ge has been worried about this for a long time.” Chang Bai chuckled.
Su Ling was a bit puzzled, “Listening to how precious it is, A-ze, why do you have it? If you have it, that’s one thing, but since you know Xiao Bai has an affliction, why didn’t you take it out earlier?”
As he spoke, Su Ling suddenly turned to look at Sheng Ze.
Sheng Ze seamlessly switched to a mode of grievance, hanging his head pitifully, almost teary-eyed, “This is my most precious funeral object, all the other funerary items are worthless. Boss, I am now truly a penniless pauper.”
Su Ling was touched, “A-ze, you are really… so loyal! Don’t worry, I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Sheng Ze let out a teary “Hmm.”
Chang Bai’s smile didn’t fade from his face, but his words sounded oddly gritted, “Although I just accepted his great favor, I really want to commit a crime of ingratitude.”
Chang Wu looked at Chang Bai, a hint of amusement in his eyes, “Stop thinking about it, you can’t beat him.”
Chang Bai took a deep breath, barely suppressing his urge to fight with the Ghost King.
He turned his head, his gaze dangerously fixed on Chang Wu, “That ghost’s voice is so unpleasant, and you still pretended to be affected?”
Chang Wu calmly replied, “I didn’t make a mistake, I deceived him.”
Chang Bai chuckled lightly, “But you did make a mistake at first, right? I saw you panicking.”
Chang Wu remained calm, “No, you saw it wrong.”
Chang Bai squinted slightly, his aura becoming increasingly dangerous, “I have never misread your emotions.”
Chang Wu adamantly denied, “I really didn’t.”
“You definitely made a mistake!”
“No.”
…
Su Ling tugged at Sheng Ze’s sleeve, earnestly saying, “Come to think of it, why do I feel like you have so many secrets?”
Sheng Ze calmly replied, “No.”
Su Ling looked at him suspiciously, “Really?”
Sheng Ze asserted firmly, “Absolutely not! Don’t let Chang Bai corrupt you.”
Su Ling tilted his head in confusion, trying hard to remember, “But the name Pearl of the Medicine King sounds so familiar to me…”
“Really, I swear… wait, have you heard of it?” Sheng Ze’s heart skipped a beat.
Su Ling furrowed his brows, hesitating, “Not sure.”
Sheng Ze thought for a moment and helped him recall, “Is it that you don’t know the effects of the Pearl of the Medicine King, but you’ve heard of it before?”
Su Ling strained to remember, “Maybe, vaguely recall hearing it somewhere… Oh right! Is the Pearl of the Medicine King also known as Tears of a Beauty?”
Sheng Ze’s eyes widened instantly, his fingertips unconsciously trembling, his voice quivering along with them, “You know? Did you know about it when you were alive?”
Su Ling tried hard to remember, after a moment, he sighed, “I can’t recall.”
