Chapter 405 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (15) (1/2)

Shen Xingyang told Shi Sheng that he’d invite her to a meal after today’s matches were over.

She could only look up at the sky despondently. ‘I probably have to kill Shen Xinghai in front of him for Shen Xinyang to believe that I really did mean to kill the dude back then… But he’s not here, so I can’t…’

Naturally, someone as busy as Shen Xingyang wouldn’t chat with Shi Sheng for too long; he soon sat back down.

But the others didn’t think that way.

There had already been rumours that there was something going on between her and Shen Xinghai. Now, seeing Shi Sheng chatting happily with his older brother, wasn’t that simply affirming the rumours?

For a while, Shi Sheng received more looks than the actual competition.

Shi Sheng felt very speechless with these people. She kept feeling like they’d walked into the wrong set or something. ‘This is a tragedy novel; the hell are you guys acting like comic relief? Don’t tell me there’s a comedy novel next door?’

[This world is the setting for a series of novels. The other male lead is Shen Xinghai. His novel is one with loving leads, so no broken character settings there.] System ‘considerately’ explained.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘No wonder Shen Xinghai just refused to die despite all that. He’s a fucking ML; the hell’s he going to die! System, you’re really getting better at fixing bugs, eh?’

[Thank you for the compliment.]

‘*flips table* Who’s complimenting you?! You’ve already lost all face for your master! You’re telling me you can have four leads in the same world?!’

System didn’t reply, probably because it was afraid that she was trying to squeeze information from it.

Shi Sheng wondered inwardly, ‘What’ll happen to this world if I off Shen Xinghai?’

[Host, please avoid such dangerous thoughts.] System truly felt tired inside. It really didn’t want to serve such a person.

‘Didn’t you go offline? Why’re you popping up again?’

[……] ‘I was afraid you’d go astray! Do I have it easy?!’

‘What’s Shen Xinghai doing?’

[…Because you dragged him away with you, he missed the setting where he was originally supposed to meet his FL. So now he’s gone off to meet her.]

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘It’s my fault again? Who the hell knew I’d be so lucky to be able to pick up the other ML by just randomly grabbing someone off the road?!

Fine… It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have had itchy hands and picked up stuff that belonged to a FL…

Though, who is the other FL?’

System didn’t make a peep. Would it dare to say anything? What if its host’s brain suddenly short-circuited and she decided to off the other FL?

System didn’t reply.

Shi Sheng shook her head and tossed this matter out of her mind. Well, it wasn’t like she had any choice. Without the related plot or memories, who the hell knew who the other FL was?

The contest today had ended. The most promising contenders didn’t participate; Fu Yiyun hadn’t even shown himself.

On the way back to her residence, Shi Sheng passed by a small compound and saw quite a few people crowding around it.

She curiously tried to peek inside, but there were too many people blocking the way for her to see.

“Miss, please wait while I go and ask them.” Xiaocai spoke, having caught her movement.

Xiaocai seemed pretty popular, for someone immediately told her what had happened when she went to ask.

Xiaocai jogged back, her expression a bit odd. “Miss, Ms Bai and Ms Liu had an argument. Ms Bai said that Ms Liu pushed her into the pond…”

“Oh?” ‘A confrontation so quick?’

“Who’d Fu Yiyun speak up for?”

Xiaocai shook her head. They were standing outside, so there was no way to know what the situation inside was.

Shi Sheng raised a brow slightly. ‘Starting the torment stage already? Tsk tsk!’

After roughly three to four minutes, Fu Yiyun accompanied Liu Xu out. She was currently trying to coax Fu Yiyun. Though his expression was unsightly, he still patiently listened to her.

If not for Bai Luo, Fu Yiyun could be considered a good man.
