She became a god

The return journey was actually quite smooth. Now everyone in the city knows the name Lu Mingze and wants to chat with her.

In the past, Ye Qingzhou would have always greeted people with a smile.

But she was too tired today.

This exhaustion was caused by Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was a strange person who always made her heart race and gave her a bad feeling.

011 became even stranger because of Liu Qing.

All of this made Ye Qingzhou think more deeply.

What kind of person was Liu Qing?

Ye Qingzhou was quite certain that he had never met the other party before.

But the other person is very interested in me.

Is it because of the face I have now?

It seems I should take some time to subtly inquire whether it's because of her face or her overall demeanor.

If it were her face, she might have to give Yuantong a thorough "interrogation".

If it's about temperament, then... her charm is just too great!

Even strangers would be captivated by Ye Qingzhou, this adorable little panda, and feel an instant connection with her.

Tsk tsk, people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat, I, a bear, am afraid of being too charming.

As Ye Qingzhou reflected in his heart, he smiled and passed by the world that wanted to invite him.

When they arrived at the inn, they were stopped halfway.

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Lu and I are staying at the same inn. What a coincidence!"

Ye Qingzhou closed her folding fan and replied with a smile, "It means we are very destined to meet."

"At least we share similar tastes in accommodations. So, may I have the honor of treating you to dinner tonight?"

This sticky reply immediately reminded Di Ziyu of Ye Qingzhou.

It's so similar; Di Ziyu can't help but notice that cynical temperament and fiery attitude.

Thinking of the message from her subordinate, Di Ziyu had no time to waste exchanging pleasantries with someone she disliked.

Di Ziyu's words were merely an attempt to bluff the other party, but seeing that the other party was truly unperturbed and answered with ease, she was left helpless.

She pursed her lips and said, "I have something to do today, but I'll definitely make time to get together with you another day."

Ye Qingzhou always felt that Di Ziyu was gritting her teeth when she said "okay".

However, Ye Qingzhou didn't have the energy to care about Di Ziyu right now; she really needed to rest.

When Ye Qingzhou returned to his room, he discovered something serious: Wen Xichun was missing.

"What's going on all day long?"

Ye Qingzhou complained as he casually tossed his fan onto the table.

This throw, though seemingly insignificant, actually produced a jade slip that could record sound.

"I've heard news about Lin Jingchuan, I'm going to check on him."

Ye Qingzhou curled her lip, "If you're going to lie, at least come up with a plausible reason!"

If Lin Jingchuan were truly capable of sending messages, he would definitely be looking for me, not Wen Xichun.

Besides, Wen Xichun doesn't seem like a very idle person, much less someone who would want to take care of Lin Jingchuan.

Ye Qingzhou reasonably suspected that the other party was hiding something from him, and that Lin Jingchuan was just an excuse.

"Hmph! How dare you try to fool me!"

"Little Eleven, how much do Lin Jingchuan and Wen Xichun like me now?"

[Dear, Lin Jingchuan's favorability rating is 98, and Wen Xichun's favorability rating is 96.]

"Hehe, does that mean I'm almost done with my mission?"

[...The higher the level, the harder it is to increase favorability.]

"Oh dear! This is truly sad news!"

Seeing Ye Qingzhou's sullen face and listless appearance, 011 comforted her, "Host, it's already quite impressive that you've managed to get two chosen ones to pay so much attention to you in such a short time!"

Ye Qingzhou frowned slightly and asked weakly, "Really? You're not just trying to make me happy, are you?"

[Really, I'm a legitimate system, I don't lie to my host.]

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou smiled broadly, her smile as bright as jade and pearl, illuminating the room.

"Then tell me honestly, what does Liu Qing have to do with me?"

011 did not answer.

Seeing this, Ye Qingzhou panicked completely.

A strange heartbeat, an abnormal system, the peculiar Liu Qing, the missing Lin Jingchuan, and the sudden departure of Wen Xichun—these events intertwined to form an indescribable network that instilled an instinctive fear in Ye Qingzhou.

Ye Qingzhou bit her lip, the metallic taste on her tongue calming her down a bit. "011, you asked me to agree to meet Liu Qing another day, and I did. But you should also give me some information, right? Do you expect me to just read the information you gave me verbatim like today?"

011 vaguely asked, "Would this look more natural?"

Ye Qingzhou laughed in exasperation, "I'm always terrified when I see him, and I know nothing about him, how can you expect me to be natural?"

"Tell me, is he the new guy you found for me to pursue?"

【no. 】

"A character from a story?"

【no. 】

Is there any profit in getting close to him?

【No. 】

"Then why should I approach him?"

Ye Qingzhou continued to use the process of elimination to ask questions, but 011 pretended to be dead.

Seeing this, Ye Qingzhou sneered, "Hmph! At worst, he'll go to the appointment but I won't. I'll just avoid him from now on!"

No! Absolutely not!

"Oh ho, not pretending to be dead anymore? Little Eleven!"

011 ignored Ye Qingzhou's sarcasm. Its mechanical voice seemed to be crackling slightly as it spoke: "Liu Qing is very important."

As if afraid Ye Qingzhou would continue asking questions, 011 added, "It's important to you too."

Ye Qingzhou rolled her eyes. "Who could he be? I don't have a fiancé, and I have no romantic interest."

When the topic of romance came up, Ye Qingzhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Could Liu Qing be Lu Jin'an?"

"But he doesn't seem gentle at all. He doesn't match the description of Chun Shui's eyes in the original work. Instead, he's cold, doesn't know how to coax people, and is even a bit fierce. He's almost as fierce as Sister Chun."

While Ye Qingzhou was lost in thought, 011 quickly made a run for it.

[Host, the mainframe has contacted me. I'm logging off now.]

Hmph! Yet another bad person who tries to fool me!
