nother half existed, there was only…

“She told me to protect this bracelet.” Xi Yin’s fingers brushed past the pendant on Shi Sheng’s wrist.

‘Her attitude was more serious than when she gave me the painting, too.’

Shi Sheng raised her hand to look at her wrist for a moment.
The crescent-shaped pendant was small and aquamarine in colour.
But when the light shone through it, a faint yellow light could be seen.

Time slowly ticked by.
After who knew how long, Shi Sheng placed the two halves of the painting together, a hint of a smile finally appearing on her taut face.
“I got it.”

The pendant, the glass sarcophagus, and Ai Wei.

There should be something inside the pendant, while the glass sarcophagus would provide a large amount of spirit energy.
As for Ai Wei…her use was probably her special blood or to act as a vessel—or perhaps both.

Xi Yin couldn’t help but feel surprised upon hearing Shi Sheng’s analysis. ‘She pieced together the whole picture from such few clues?’

Shi Sheng merely revealed a mysterious smile.

She didn’t attempt to analyse the plot; she merely put herself in the shoes of the author.
When combined with the clues she already had, it wasn’t hard to deduce the answer.

‘Everything’s a cliché! Of course, the most important reason is because I’m(bbb) smart.’

Sikong Sa would come looking for her sooner or later for these items, so Shi Sheng had originally planned on destroying one of them to spite him.

But she couldn’t bear to destroy the bracelet, and Xi Yin said she couldn’t destroy the glass sarcophagus, so the only thing left was the FL…

‘Am I supposed to destroy the FL?

Perhaps even the matter of her falsely accusing Mi Nai had Sikong Sa’s hand behind it.

To tell the truth, this FL’s pretty unlucky to have been used from the start.
Had it not been for the ML, she probably wouldn’t have survived till the ending.

I didn’t even do anything, and the FL’s already screwed herself over…’

Lives weren’t predetermined.
Any little change had the potential to change the entire course of one’s life.

……

Shi Sheng left Xi Yin alone at home as she headed to Liang Ge’s house.
Before leaving, Shi Sheng had told Liang Ge she could leave the house.
So by the time Shi Sheng arrived at Liang Ge’s place, the girl wasn’t there.

Liang Ge returned after she waited a while.

“Senior, you’re back!” Liang Ge showed a surprised expression before excitedly going over, her eyes sparkling.

“En.
Has anyone troubled you?” Shi Sheng nodded casually.
She had checked the wards in the villa just now—they hadn’t been touched.

“No.” Liang Ge shook her head.

Ever since her Senior left, the school became much more peaceful.
The people keeping watch on her family had also withdrawn.

“That’s good.” Shi Sheng patted Liang Ge’s head.
“I’ll be off then.”

“Ah? So fast?” Liang Ge immediately appeared rather disappointed as she stared at Shi Sheng.

The latter merely pulled her lips into a smile.
“I still have something I have to do.
Once I’m finished, I’ll return to school.”

Only upon hearing this did some of the disappointment fade from Liang Ge’s face.
“Then be careful, Senior.”

Shi Sheng left the villa, planning on challenging everyone at the headquarters of the vampire hunters, but hadn’t gotten far before running into Xi Yin.

He cast her a smile as he opened the door to the car behind him.
“We’ll go together.”

Shi Sheng paused for a moment before getting onto the car.

“How did you know what I was planning to do?”

“I saw you checking their information.” Xi Yin drove the car to the highway.

“You’re my wife—do you think it’s appropriate to not tell me about these sorts of things?”

“I just…”

“Mi Nai.” Xi Yin was rather helpless.
“You’re the one who should be spoiled ah.”

‘Why is she always trying to spoil me?

I’m a man, okay? Any other man would’ve called it quits at doing something so undignified!’

“Because you’ve been so disobedient, you’d best be thinking of how to make it up to me.”

Shi Sheng framed her face with her hands.
“How ‘bout I pay you with my body?”

Xi Yin resisted the urge to laugh.
“Fine.”
