“Qianyi? It’s Qianyi, right?!”
Huo Wei stared wide-eyed at the girl in front of her, finding it hard to believe.
The girl in front of her was wearing a mask and scarf, with only her eyes and eyebrows exposed. Even her own mother might not have been able to recognize her if she were standing right in front of her, but Huo Wei still recognized her identity at a glance from those exceptionally large and bright eyes.
“…Weiwei!”
What a dramatic encounter with an old acquaintance in a foreign place.
Zhuge Qianyi was so excited that she almost cried. After seeing someone she knew, her legs suddenly stopped trembling and her feet became nimble again. She scrambled up from the ground and threw herself into Huo Wei’s arms.
“Oh my god, you really scared me to death… This is Zhuge Fusang, right? And is this ghost also someone you brought along?”
Zhuge Qianyi was almost dying of grievance. She whispered to Huo Wei:
“You really didn’t exaggerate at all. Zhuge Fusang really is so fierce, so gloomy, and so scary. Just now, I really thought he was going to kill me in front of everyone… Uh, he won’t kill me, right? You wouldn’t let him kill me either… right?”
“…” Fu Sang glanced at her without saying anything.
He lowered his head and coughed dully, holding onto the back of the bench beside him as he caught his breath.
When he lowered his eyes, a red hem entered his field of vision, and a hand reached out as if to help him.
Fu Sang dodged the hand and did not let him touch him.
The hand paused slightly before quickly dropping.
The next second, it dispersed into smoke, vanishing without a trace.
“Hey… miss, what’s going on with you guys?”
The museum security guard had watched them chase each other all the way over. At first, he thought they were a young couple having a lovers’ quarrel, but after seeing the young man throw a stone at someone, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly called someone over. Who would have thought that when he approached, the three of them would be hugging each other amicably and chatting?
Young people these days are really impossible to understand.
“It’s fine, big brother. It’s just a little misunderstanding between friends. We were just playing around… It’s already resolved!” Huo Wei explained to the security guard.
“Oh, oh. Then if you have something to say, talk it out calmly, okay? Don’t lose your temper. There are so many people watching here, how inappropriate would that look? And is it okay to chase each other around in the exhibition hall? What if you accidentally knock something over and break it? What would you do then? Be more careful next time…”
Seeing that it had all been a false alarm, the security guard lectured them a couple of times before directing the others to leave.
Huo Wei apologized, reflected on her actions, and swore that she would not do it again. Only after seeing them walk farther away did she sigh, put her hands on her waist, and ask the girl in front of her:
“Come on, tell me what’s going on. Zhuge Qianyi, why are you here? I heard from your Brother Buhuo that you ran away from home. What exactly happened? Your family must be worried sick by now, right?”
“I…”
After recovering her composure, Zhuge Qianyi pulled down her mask and secretly glanced at Fu Sang guiltily.
When she saw his pale profile, she quickly withdrew her gaze as if she had been burned.
She looked to be about nineteen years old. She had long, straight hair, a very small face, and very large eyes. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Buhuo and Buyi’s, but she looked much more quick-witted than the two of them.
“Sigh…” Hearing Huo Wei’s words, she sighed, looking troubled, “This… is a long story. I really don’t know where to start explaining it right now.”
“Ah.” Hearing her say that, Huo Wei looked down at the time:
“Then that works out. We’ve pretty much finished looking around too. Why don’t we find somewhere to eat something together? You can calm down and see whether you want to talk and how you want to talk about it. After all, Fu Sang and his ghost scared you just now. How about this? Pick whatever you want to eat. I’ll treat you. Consider it an apology to you on their behalf.”
“Ah, since we’re all friends, it’s fine. I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I? There’s no need to make such a clear distinction.”
“One thing is one thing…”
Before Huo Wei could finish speaking, Fu Sang coldly interrupted with two words:
“No.”
The other two were both stunned and looked at him in unison. They saw that his eyes, darkened by the shadows cast by his hair, were fixed on Zhuge Qianyi. His voice was very cold:
“She recognized him. Blood oath.”
Under that stare, Zhuge Qianyi felt cold even between her bones.
“Recognized what?” Huo Wei did not quite understand and felt that this person was being inexplicable.
“Ah probably recognized the … .Crimson Evil?” Zhuge Qianyi weakly admitted on her own.
Only then did Huo Wei realize what he meant.
Although she knew it probably would not be useful, she still had to try persuading him: “No need, right? Qianyi won’t say anything.”
Fu Sang’s answer was still just two cold words:
“Blood oath.”
“…Okay, no problem!”
Zhuge Qianyi was genuinely afraid of Fu Sang now.
She felt that only after taking a blood oath could both sides be at ease. If she did not, leaving the other party aside, she herself would be constantly worried that Zhuge Fusang might secretly put a curse on her in the middle of the night or simply slit her throat with a knife or something.
In her heart, Zhuge Fusang was simply that kind of vicious person and he could do all sorts of evil.
Of course, her fear of Fu Sang was not entirely because of the thrilling chase she had just experienced.
To her, the name Zhuge Fusang was no less frightening than Voldemort and Rakshasa Satan. And speaking of that, she had to thank Huo Wei’s vigorous publicity to outsiders.
Back when they were studying the advanced courses of the main Zhuge family, Zhuge Qianyi and Huo Wei were in the same class. Neither of them had the slightest interest in this line of work, nor did they have any talent for it. Basically, in every exam, one of them would come last and the other second-to-last, taking turns. After being at the bottom for so long, it was inevitable that they developed a feeling of mutual sympathy.
Their personalities also matched very well. Zhuge Qianyi told Huo Wei all kinds of strange Zhuge family gossip, while Huo Wei told her about all sorts of people she knew. The person who appeared most frequently was this legendary friend of hers, Zhuge Fusang.
However, if she really traced things back, Zhuge Qianyi had already heard of this person long before she met Huo Wei.
It was said that the Zhuge family head had a junior brother named Zhuge Lin. This person previously lived in a gloomy house closest to the back mountain of the main family and rarely showed himself.
In her memory, the old man was tall, with deep-set eyes and a hooked nose. He wore a sour expression toward everyone and looked ferocious and vicious, with a blue-green face and fangs.
The children of the main family were all afraid of him. They often treated him as an imaginary great demon king in a game, organizing their teammates every few days to go “adventuring” near his little house.
Of course, this adventure game did not last very long.
After the adults discovered it, their group of children was severely punished. The adults warned them not to go near Zhuge Lin’s house without good reason, much less approach anyone connected to him, and absolutely not to try entering another mysterious courtyard in the main family that was surrounded by high walls.
Perhaps in order to frighten them with an actual case, the adults also told them a story.
The protagonist of the story was a distant cousin of Zhuge Qianyi’s. At the time, this cousin had provoked Zhuge Lin’s disciple and had directly been cursed with a curse that would cause him to die violently within seven days.
Fortunately, the family head and several other elders managed to break the curse and saved the cousin’s life.
Unfortunately, they only saved his life.
That cousin lost one eye, half his face was ruined, and one leg almost had to be amputated. Even now, he could not stand or walk for long periods of time and could only live in a wheelchair most of the time.
This story frightened the young Zhuge Qianyi terribly back then.
So, for quite a long time, Zhuge Lin and his heterochromatic-eyed disciple Zhuge Fusang, who had surpassed his master, had both been able to serve the function of making children stop crying at night for her.
Later, Zhuge Qianyi met Huo Wei. Huo Wei was very close to Zhuge Fusang, so Zhuge Qianyi heard many more legends about this person from Huo Wei.
Like how this person was very fierce and difficult to approach. He was locked up for seven years behind the high walls of the main family before finally being released.
Like how, although this person could not see underworld spirits, his talent was extremely terrifying, and his favorite thing was studying all sorts of strange feng shui, fate, and obscure spells.
Like how, after being driven out of the Zhuge family, this person once attempted to use an evil technique that sacrificed his own soul to curse everyone on the Zhuge family genealogy together.
Like how this person had no hobbies except for using a blade to modify some patterns on himself for fun and playing free fall.
These deeds left some psychological trauma on Zhuge Qianyi. So even now, to her, the words “Zhuge Fusang” were not much different from the King of Hell.
But she had never seen Fu Sang himself, so she had never been able to associate this terrifying name with a specific appearance.
Until today.
She was happily touring the museum when she looked up and saw a ghost face. The ghost face even had the rune that her Brother Buyi had just recently explained to her, telling her that if she saw it, she absolutely must not pay too much attention to it or say too much, and should simply close her eyes and run.
Although she came from a metaphysics family, she had been afraid of ghosts since childhood. Having some psychological preparation beforehand was one thing, but if she suddenly received a fright like this, she genuinely could not control her instinctive scream.
Then, just after she screamed, while the onlookers were still dumbfounded and her brain was rapidly spinning, trying to figure out how to explain it to the ordinary people, she suddenly caught sight of someone passing through the crowd and walking straight toward her at a fast pace.
The words “ill-intentioned” might as well have been welded onto his face.
Who would dare take another look in that situation?
She ran for her life, but unfortunately, she was caught before she got very far.
This was Chifeng Pass City in Subei Province, several thousand kilometers away from the capital, one in the east and one in the west.
Across this vast land and among the vast crowd of 1.4 billion people, who would have thought that she could still encounter the legendary black-and-red heterochromatic-eyed soul-reaping demon Zhuge Fusang here?
To be honest, this person was very good-looking. It was just that his aura was fierce, cold, and sinister. At a glance, he was clearly not someone to provoke.
Now that the King of Hell who was not to be provoked had spoken and told her to take a blood oath, how could she dare not listen?
To demonstrate her obedience, she did not say another word. She let Fu Sang decide the contents of the blood oath, while she only needed to provide her blood and one hundred percent obedience, humbly displaying her intense desire to survive and hoping that the King of Hell would spare her life because she was obedient enough.
Fu Sang was already very familiar with the process of the blood oath curse, and the entire process was very quick. In less than ten minutes, the three of them finished the ritual and set off on the road from the park to a restaurant.
The little girl had simply gone out for a nice outing only to be frightened by a ghost, chased around by someone, and forced to take a blood oath. Huo Wei felt somewhat guilty toward her. Although Qianyi was good-natured and kept saying, “It’s fine, it’s fine,” Huo Wei could not let it go and decided to treat her to a big meal.
She immediately did some research and, seeing that Chifeng Pass barbecue was famous, booked the most popular barbecue restaurant in the city.
She booked a private room and generously ordered almost everything on the menu. Barbecue and all sorts of stir-fried dishes filled the entire table.
The two girls had not seen each other for a long time, so they gathered together and chatted away. Fu Sang was uninterested in both their topic of conversation and the food.
He was still sick, and could not taste much flavor in anything he ate. He slowly ate a few skewers, then drank a few mouthfuls of pumpkin porridge that Miss Huo had specifically ordered for the patient before wiping his hands and finishing his meal. He silently got up and went to lie down on the small sofa in the private room.
The room became quiet from the moment he got up. Only after he lay there without moving did Huo Wei ask, “You’re not eating anymore?”
“Mm.” Fu Sang replied in a muffled voice, his back to them.
“But I ordered so much. If you don’t help, Qianyi and I definitely won’t be able to finish it.”
“Call Zhuge Buhuo and Zhuge Buyi over. With them, the four of you can finish this table. Otherwise, should I just take your surname?”
“Huo Fusang?”
“Fine.”
“…Are you still uncomfortable somewhere? If you really feel bad, how about I go to the hospital with you and have you checked again? Don’t force yourself.”
“No.” Fu Sang coughed twice, “Leave me alone.”
While the two of them talked, Zhuge Qianyi did not dare make a sound, only stretching her neck to peek at Fu Sang. After the conversation ended, she quietly asked Huo Wei, “What’s wrong with him?”
“He hasn’t fully recovered from his illness. He just got over his fever this morning and immediately got up to go to the attractions. I couldn’t stop him. He is as stubborn as a mule!”
Huo Wei did not bother hiding the fact that she was speaking ill of him.
“Okay…” Zhuge Qianyi did not dare respond to that. She silently took a sip of water to calm herself.
“Oh, right. I haven’t told anyone that I ran into you here yet. Would you mind if I give your Brother Buhuo a heads-up so he can rest easy?”
Hearing this, Zhuge Qianyi shook her head like a rattle drum:
“No, no, no, absolutely not! If he finds out, then the entire main family will know, and Grandpa will definitely find out too! They’ll definitely send people to drag me back!”
“…Drag?” Huo Wei felt that the word was somewhat subtle.
On the sofa, Fu Sang, who had originally already closed his eyes, also slightly opened them.
“Yes.”
Zhuge Qianyi grabbed three skewers and stuffed them all into her mouth at once. Only after swallowing them did she suppress the worry in her heart:
“About this matter… I’ll tell you the truth, Weiwei. This time I ran away because I was investigating a case!”
“Investigating a case???”
Huo Wei was shocked by these words.
The two of them, a pair of underachiever sister flowers, had supported each other all the way, stumbling through their courses. Successfully finishing the courses was already a great achievement. They had no interest in becoming excellent spirit masters, nor did they have the ability to become excellent spirit masters.
Huo Wei was not part of the Zhuge family, so after completing the course, she could switch careers and do something else. But Zhuge Qianyi could not escape. As a direct descendant of the main family, she had to remain in the Xuangu Mountains to inherit the family business. But she really did not want to go to the front lines to face underworld spirits and experience those thrilling dangers, so she begged her grandfather and everyone else to stay at home to take over her mother’s work managing the archives and the Seven-Life Fate Wheel.
This should have been a pretty good job for her. It had money, little work, and plenty of gossip to eat. She had even expressed to Huo Wei more than once how much she loved this job.
So Huo Wei could not help wondering what could make her give up her comfortable life in the rear and run out alone to face the underworld spirits she used to fear the most.
“Yes, it’s a very mysterious, very old case spanning many years! Speaking of which, it’s also related to…”
Zhuge Qianyi instinctively glanced at Fu Sang.
Huo Wei vaguely realized whose name she was about to say and immediately widened her eyes, pursed her lips, and waved her hands to stop her, but it was already too late.
“…It’s also related to Uncle-Master Lin.”
The moment those words fell, Fu Sang, who had just been as quiet as a corpse, suddenly sat upright.
Huo Wei closed her eyes in pain.
Seeing Huo Wei’s expression, Zhuge Qianyi was still somewhat confused, until she shifted her gaze and met Fu Sang’s gloomy eyes. Then she heard him say:
“Explain.”
She shuddered.
“This, this, this is a long story…”
Her stiff brain spun frantically on instinct, dragging her mouth along with it:
“It was like this. Around December, my grandfather, uh, the Zhuge family head, suddenly started urging me to get married.”
“Urging you to get married?!”
Huo Wei widened her eyes and quickly swallowed a skewer along with the gossip:
“You’re not even twenty yet, right? You haven’t even reached the legal marriage age. Why was he urging you to marry?”
“It couldn’t exactly be called urging me to marry. It was just that one day, he suddenly called me away mysteriously and asked if I had a boyfriend. He told me I wasn’t that young anymore and that there were some things I could start considering… I didn’t take it seriously at first. After all, that’s how old people are. I thought Grandpa was probably anxious to hold a great-grandchild, so I let it go in one ear and out the other and didn’t pay much attention.”
“But after some time, one day, I went out of the house and was walking to the archives for work when I suddenly encountered Uncle-Master Lin, who rarely returned to the Xuangu Mountains, and he even called me over!”
When she mentioned Zhuge Lin, Zhuge Qianyi glanced guiltily at Fu Sang before continuing:
“He seemed to have been waiting there specifically for me. When he saw me, he waved me over and asked how old I was this year. You know I’ve always been scared of him. I didn’t dare not answer, and I didn’t dare ask too much, so I honestly said I would be twenty after the New Year. Then he suddenly nodded and said, ‘Ah, then the time is about right.’”
“???” Huo Wei almost spit out her food.
What kind of talk was that supposed to mean? Could it be that Zhuge Fusang was so good with words because he had learned it from his master?
“Right?! I was so confused! What did he mean by ‘the time is about right’? What was about right? I boldly asked him what he meant by that. But you know Uncle-Master Lin. His temper is really strange. He didn’t answer my question at all. He just stood opposite me and stared at me strangely, then told me, ‘Before you turn twenty-one, remember to find a way to leave the Zhuge family.’ Then he left! He left me standing there with a head full of question marks!”
As she got more excited, Zhuge Qianyi also forgot to be afraid of Fu Sang and became completely immersed in her little adventure, telling the story with both words and gestures:
“Can you just let it go after someone suddenly dragged you over and mysteriously told you all that? Of course not, right? Your appetite would be hooked, right! If the protagonist of this story were some other person, they probably wouldn’t have anywhere to investigate, but me, Zhuge Qianyi, what is my job? Archives administrator! The archives contain several hundred years of records from the Zhuge family. I’m guarding such a huge melon field. How could I suppress my curiosity? If I didn’t transform into a brave investigator, I’d be letting myself down!
“Then I started investigating. Why did Uncle-Master Lin say I had to leave before I turned twenty-one? What did Uncle-Master Lin know?”
“I started with him and discovered that he actually wasn’t alone. He once had a wife and a daughter. His wife was a muggle, and the two of them divorced early on, so we won’t talk about that. The key to this matter was his daughter.”
Hearing this, Fu Sang took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a drag.
“His daughter was named Li Guizhen. She was a muggle, so she didn’t have the surname Zhuge. When they divorced back then, Li Guizhen was awarded to Uncle-Master Lin, so she continued living in the main family. Later, Li Guizhen fell in love with and married a muggle boy from outside, and then…”
“And then?” Huo Wei widened her eyes, waiting for what came next.
“And then she died.”
Zhuge Qianyi nodded solemnly:
“The records said she died from a difficult childbirth. There was no record of the child she gave birth to, so it was probably lost along with her at the time. That’s not the most important part. The most important part was that she had just turned twenty-two the year she died.”
Huo Wei raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you just say Zhuge Lin told you to leave the Zhuge family before you turned twenty-one? If Li Guizhen’s death was related to what he said, shouldn’t she have died before turning twenty-one?”
“Uh… I really don’t know about that. Anyway, I continued investigating along this line, and then I discovered that every twenty-something years, there would be a young girl from the direct bloodline of the main family who died young. Their ages were all around twenty-two. But the causes of death recorded in the archives were all sorts of strange. Some suddenly disappeared, some got sick, some had accidents… Anyway, it was terrifying!
“Also, I tried putting the birth data of those girls from the main family into the Seven-Life Fate Wheel. I could find about a dozen girls recorded in the genealogy. But when the birth data of more than a dozen people was put into the artifact, nothing came out. What does that mean? It means that after they died in that lifetime, they had no next lifetime. Is that reasonable? Obviously not. Is it scary? Obviously scary!”
“And do you know what’s even scarier? It’s been more than twenty years since Li Guizhen died, but among this generation of direct descendants of the main family, I’m the only girl! Uncle-Master Lin goes without saying, he’s already alone. My grandfather only has three grandchildren: Buyi, Buhuo, and me. The other elders also only have grandsons in their families. So, taking all of this into account, if my guess is correct, who will be the next girl in the main-family to die? It’s not hard to guess. If the college entrance exam questions were this easy, I’d already be studying at a university outside!”
Seeing that the topic had gone off course, Fu Sang frowned:
“And then? Get to the point.”
“Oh, oh…” Zhuge Qianyi wilted again.
She cleared her throat, forcing her excited mood to calm down:
“Then I ran away. It was too terrifying. Even more terrifying was that my grandfather had already started trying to introduce me to potential partners! That behavior had one word written all over it…conspiracy! So how could I not run? I packed my things and left that very night!”
After saying this, as if trying to comfort herself, Zhuge Qianyi grabbed another handful of skewers and stuffed them into her mouth.
Huo Wei was still eagerly waiting for the rest of the story, but after waiting for a long time, all she saw was Zhuge Qianyi happily eating. There was no sign that she intended to end the intermission and start the second half of the story. So she stammered:
“Th-then what?”
“Then?” Zhuge Qianyi’s mouth was stuffed full of grilled meat, making her words unclear:
“Then there was no then. Then I just ran all the way here and met you guys?”
“?” Huo Wei blinked in disbelief. “Then the investigation you were talking about just now was…?”
“Oh, I originally wanted to follow up on my discoveries and find a way to investigate further, but I don’t have the ability! Once I left my beloved archives, I had no idea where to start. So I just wandered around and somehow ended up here. Speaking of which, the scenery in the northwest is really different from the capital. Next, I want to go to Xijiang too. Hey, Weiwei, do you want to come with me?”
The topic had jumped a little too quickly. Just moments ago, it was full of mysteries and life-or-death danger, and now it had become a sunny free trip around the northwest.
“…No, I probably won’t have time. I came out this time to accompany San You on his research. And you’re a young girl traveling outside alone, so don’t just think about having fun. Be careful!”
Huo Wei glanced at Fu Sang. His cigarette was already burning to the end, and he was frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and raised his eyes toward Zhuge Qianyi:
“Since you don’t have the ability to investigate further, then how did you manage to leave the Xuangu Mountains for so long without those people surnamed Zhuge discovering your whereabouts at all?”
“Oh, oh, it’s because of this…”
Zhuge Qianyi touched her collar and struggled to pull a necklace pendant out from inside her clothes.
Fu Sang raised an eyebrow slightly, threw his cigarette butt into the trash can, and stood up to walk over to her.
Zhuge Qianyi instinctively tried to shrink back, but Fu Sang grabbed her and pulled her back.
He hooked his ring finger around Zhuge Qianyi’s necklace and lowered his eyes to examine the thing.
It was a sheet of talisman paper folded into a triangle.
After examining both sides, he sneered:
“Zhuge Lin gave this to you?”
“H-how did you know…?”
Fu Sang released her without answering and turned around, walking back to sit on the sofa.
“This was indeed given to me by Uncle-Master Lin. That day, he told me that it would be best for me to leave the Zhuge family before I turned twenty-one. He also told me that if I decided to leave, I should wear this, and no one else would be able to find me.”
Zhuge Qianyi offered an explanation.
“Where is he? At the main family?”
“I don’t know. Didn’t he move out of the main family a long time ago? No one knows where he is. That day, I only encountered him because the elders of the main family had summoned him back for a meeting…”
“Click.”
The sound of a lighter rang out again. Huo Wei really could not take it anymore and she turned her head to shout angrily:
“That’s two! Fu San You! You’re still a patient. Can you let your lungs rest?! I’ve never even seen you have such a big addiction normally!”
Fu Sang ignored her. He lazily leaned against the sofa, holding the cigarette between two fingers as he turned his head and took a drag.
After a moment, he lowered his eyes. No one knew what he had thought of, but smoke and a smile both spilled from the corners of his lips:
“So, your current need is to uncover the truth behind these women’s deaths and avoid following the same path they did, right?”
“Yes, yes.”
Zhuge Qianyi felt chills all over when she saw that smile.
“How about this? You pay me a little compensation, and I’ll help you with this. Okay?”
Not to mention Zhuge Qianyi, even Huo Wei found it eerie to hear such a gentle tone coming from Fu Sang’s mouth.
She looked at Fu Sang as if she had seen a ghost and asked warily, “What are you planning to do?”
“Me?” Fu Sang raised an eyebrow slightly. “Helping others out of kindness.”
‘What helping others out of kindness? Nonsense!’
‘Even if Satan started helping others out of kindness, Zhuge Fusang wouldn’t.’
Huo Wei silently complained in her heart. Beside her, Zhuge Qianyi had already responded:
“W-W-How much compensation?”
It wasn’t that she didn’t find it strange.
She just felt as if she had no right to refuse.
“Whatever you want. Meeting is fate. I feel really bad about scaring you just now, so I’ll apologize on behalf of my ghost. But I feel that just apologizing isn’t enough to make me feel better, so for this job, I’ll do it for however much you’re willing to give,” Fu Sang said lightly.
“Then…”
Zhuge Qianyi felt that she really must have had something wrong with her brain.
She held out the grilled-meat she had just made toward Fu Sang.
Fu Sang cooperatively got up, walked over, raised his hand, and almost reverently accepted the small grilled-meat from her.
He then used his other hand to move the cigarette aside, held the grilled meat, and lowered his head to take a bite. He gave a faint “Mm” and praised it:
“This is the most delicious meat I have ever eaten in my life. Miss Qianyi, you really are a genius.”
“…?”
Huo Wei pressed a hand to her forehead.
She really didn’t want to watch this fake performance anymore.
“I’m very satisfied, so I’m more than willing to provide you with assistance.”
After saying this, Fu Sang extended his hand toward Zhuge Qianyi again:
“Give me the necklace.”
“What are you going to do?” Although she questioned him with her mouth, Zhuge Qianyi was already taking off the necklace.
After Fu Sang took the necklace from her, he revealed that same smile that made her hair stand on end and that she would probably have nightmares about in the future.
“Help you find Zhuge Lin.”
“???”
‘This…’
Wasn’t this something he wanted to do himself?
What did this have to do with her needs at all!!
