My cross-dimensional black market shop has a 100% return rate.

Good guy!

Luo Zhuang thought to himself, "Wow!"

A whole wall of books, how did I end up choosing this one?!

This girl has a good eye for choosing!

Luo Zhuang was unsure whether it was a coincidence or fate. He didn't disturb Hua Hengyue, but after glancing at her from afar, he noticed a hint of sadness on her face.

The Dream of the Red Chamber has 120 chapters, so many words! Hua Hengyue only had a little time to read it, how many words could she possibly read? How did she end up thinking this way?!

Luo Zhuang walked over, and Hua Hengyue noticed the movement. She looked up from her book, saw Luo Zhuang, and quickly said, "Immortal Master."

Luo Zhuang gave a friendly smile, and very naturally took the copy of *Dream of the Red Chamber* from Hua Hengyue's hand. He glanced at it casually and noticed a passage on the page Hua Hengyue had opened—

Lin Daiyu had often heard her mother say that her maternal grandmother's family was different from other families. The few third-class servants she had recently seen already had extraordinary food, clothing, and daily necessities, let alone now that she was at their home. Therefore, she was careful in every step and at all times, and could not easily say a word or take a step more than necessary, for fear of being ridiculed.

No wonder...

Luo Zhuang was speechless.

The chapter title is listed at the top of the page; it is Chapter Three—Jia Yucun regains his old position through connections, and Lin Daiyu leaves her father to go to the capital.

Undoubtedly, the focus of this chapter is on Lin Daiyu. After bidding farewell to her father Lin Ruhai, she went to the capital and entered the Jia family mansion. Alone, fearful and lonely, how could this girl in a similar situation not feel the same way?

Hua Hengyue not only knows how to choose books, but she also knows how to read them. She turned to this crucial page as soon as she opened the book.

After mentally criticizing it, Luo Zhuang asked, "Is this book easy to read?"

Hua Hengyue shook her head, then nodded, and said, "I am a mortal woman, and I have always seen vertical texts that start from the right. This is the first time I have seen horizontal texts that start from the left."

Fortunately, the text in the book is mostly in a neat cursive script, which looks simple and easy on the eyes. After a little getting used to it, it is still easy to understand.

"I'll get used to it."

Luo Zhuang nodded, thinking to himself that it was alright. Hua Hengyue could understand simplified Chinese characters, which saved him the trouble of finding a traditional Chinese Taiwanese version for her.

Luo Zhuang then very naturally shoved the book back into Hua Hengyue's hands, like a life mentor checking on a young girl's reading progress, and said, "Just read this book; you can learn from it and gain insights, but don't take it as your own life."

Life should have infinite possibilities; it shouldn't be like a book where the ending is prematurely fixed by the words.

Hua Hengyue had only read half a page of the book, so of course she hadn't fully and systematically understood "Dream of the Red Chamber" yet. At this point, she only felt that Lin Daiyu's situation was somewhat similar to her own, without thinking too much about it.

She only thought that Luo Zhuang was still comforting her as before, so she nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Immortal Master."

Luo Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Go read your book."

"Um."

Hua Hengyue agreed and was about to go upstairs to her room to read.

In this unfamiliar place, she still preferred to be alone.

"Oh, right."

Luo Zhuang seemed to remember something and called out to Hua Hengyue again.

Hua Hengyue had already stepped onto the stairs when she heard the sound and stopped and turned around.

Luo Zhuang said, "There are two things I forgot to tell you. There's toilet paper in the bathroom, hanging on the left side of the toilet. It's a rolled-up, very soft white paper, like a toilet stick. You can use that after you're done using the toilet."

Used paper should be thrown into the wastebasket next to the toilet. However, please note that there are no staff members here, so you'll have to empty the wastebasket yourself.

Hua Hengyue never expected Luo Zhuang to specifically say this to her, and her face flushed red instantly.

Immortal Master... Immortal Master is truly unconcerned with formalities...

She thought to herself, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Luo Zhuang, however, remained calm and continued, "Also, in the box on the bedside table, besides the TV remote, there's another remote, the white one, which is the air conditioner remote."

If you feel hot, just take the remote and press the red button to turn on the air conditioner and lower the temperature.

Hua Hengyue, however, was already somewhat used to it. She thought to herself that since immortals could already manipulate water and fire, it wouldn't be surprising if they could control the weather.

She went back to her room and, imitating Luo Zhuang, swiped her card to open the door. Hearing the "beep" sound, the door unlocked, but she had a very different feeling.

Upon reflection, she realized it seemed to offer a convenient sense of control, something novel and appealing.

Upon entering the room and inserting the room card, she was immediately enveloped by a sweltering heat.

Outside the guesthouse, lush greenery abounded, and the sun was blazing. Inside the room, the sunlight beat down on everything, and with the windows closed, it became increasingly stuffy and hot.

She didn't feel it at noon, but after going downstairs to eat and coming back to the room, she suddenly felt that she couldn't stay in the room anymore.

Remembering what Luo Zhuang had said, he hurriedly went to the bedside to grab another white remote control and pressed the red button on it, just like he had done.

"drop--"

Another crisp notification sound rang out, seemingly coming from the corner of the wall above.

Hua Hengyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw that a long white box had suddenly opened in the corner of the wall above the TV, near the window.

Before long, she felt a cool breeze flowing out from it.

In no time, the breeze swept through the entire house, and the room instantly became cool.

Hua Hengyue silently savored the coolness, and suddenly thought to herself, if she could experience such wonderful celestial enjoyment before she died, her life would truly have been worthwhile.

She sat down at the table, opened the copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber," and slowly began to read it.

This time, she started reading from the very first chapter in a serious manner. Watching the conversation between the monk, the Taoist priest, and the stubborn stone, and recalling the warning the immortal had given her before, she seemed to have gained some understanding.

But as she watched, seeing Lin Daiyu appear, and then seeing everything in the Jia family, Grandmother Jia, Lady Wang, Jia Baoyu... the more she watched, the more obsessed she became, the more mad she became, and she was deeply immersed in it and could not extricate herself.

When Luo Zhuang finished making dinner and came to call her, he called her two or three times before she finally opened the door.

After dinner, past midnight, Luo Zhuang remembered that he had forgotten to close the gate of the guesthouse courtyard. He went out to close the gate, and when he turned back to the lobby, he looked up and found that the light in Hua Hengyue's room was still on.

This girl is already sickly, and now she's staying up all night, she's practically courting death!

The problem is, you don't care about your life, but I still need the system coins!

Once you're gone, will my remaining 499 system coins be taken back based on the number of days I haven't stayed?

I'm not sure what to do!

So Luo Zhuang had no choice but to go upstairs again, knock on the door, and remind Hua Hengyue to go to sleep.

The next day, Hua Hengyue stayed in her room reading all day. After midnight, Luo Zhuang came out of the courtyard again, looked up, and saw the lights upstairs were still on, so he had to go upstairs again to remind her.

That's amazing!

This won't work. It seems a simple reminder isn't enough; the circumstances are too similar, and Hua Hengyue can't help but relate!

Luo Zhuang thought to himself, "I can't let this continue tomorrow. I have to give this girl some serious advice and guidance!"
