This time, before Ruan Qing could say anything, the system spoke first in Ruan Qing’s mind.
[This instance is blocked, probably because the pen spirit doesn’t want his heart to leave. Stall for time, and I’ll find a way to pull you out.]
[It should take no more than ten minutes.]
The pen spirit’s actual power wasn’t enough to block the instance. However, absorbing the remnant soul of the little black cat and half of Qiao Nuo’s remnant soul granted ‘him’ a temporary ability to seal the instance.
It’s fortunate that that heart did not lock the instance.
The system’s tone showed no panic, as if it wasn’t a significant issue. Ruan Qing submitted the answer without hesitation because the chances of his plan succeeding with these two present were almost zero.
It seemed better to submit the answer and leave.
Unexpectedly, this unforeseen situation occurred.
Although the system sounded calm and composed, Ruan Qing felt something was off for some reason.
At this point, he had no other choice but to follow the system’s instructions and drag out these ten minutes.
Luckily, he was only digging up bones, so he had plenty of excuses.
He just had to get through these ten minutes.
Qi Yunshen raised an eyebrow when he saw Ruan Qing shake his head and casually glanced at the frozen, transparent figure. “Does shaking your head mean you don’t like him?”
“Do you not like my brother?”
Ruan Qing sat down, his eyelashes trembling slightly. He nervously pursed his lips and shook his head again.
Evidently, denying any affection.
Qi Yunshen’s smile brightened, regaining that gentle and jade-like feeling. With a hint of curiosity, he spoke, “Then why are you digging up his bones?”
Before Ruan Qing could answer, Qi Yunshen lightly chuckled and said, “Could it be that you pity him?”
Ruan Qing hesitated, lowering his head before softly saying, “...I just feel... it’s better to let him rest in peace.”
Before lowering his head, Ruan Qing glanced at Shen Yu’an standing silently nearby, feeling that something was off about him.
It’s as if he’s being controlled by someone.
...Could it be Qi Yunshen?
Qi Yunshen paid no attention to the figure emanating hostility as soon as Ruan Qing spoke. After all, outside the ghost domain, his useless elder brother couldn’t do anything.
After Ruan Qing finished speaking, Qi Yunshen took a few steps towards him and crouched down in front of Ruan Qing.
Then, Qi Yunshen extended his slender fingers, lifting Ruan Qing’s fair chin.
“Is that true?”
Qi Yunshen’s tone remained gentle, as if it was a casual question, not much different from chatting about today’s weather on a regular day.
However, it made Ruan Qing inexplicably uneasy. Just as he was about to nod, Qi Yunshen spoke again.
“Why did you submit the answer, then?”
Ruan Qing’s eyes widened, pupils shrinking slightly, looking at Qi Yunshen with a mix of astonishment and disbelief.
As if he could hardly believe what he had just heard.
Qi Yunshen tilted his head and revealed a brilliant smile.
“Little liar.”
Although Qi Yunshen’s tone was full of indulgence, as if trying to soothe one’s heart, his deep eyes carried a hint of danger.
The situation made one’s hairs stand on end, and every cell in their body screamed to run away immediately.
Moreover, it seemed that he already knew Ruan Qing’s identity as a player and even knew that he had submitted the answer.
The blockade of the instance might not have been done by the pen spirit, but by Qi Yunshen.
And suddenly, Ruan Qing remembered something.
If the twins born into the Qi family were indeed born as twins, their strengths were highly likely to be evenly matched.
The pen spirit was only a quarter as strong, which was already absurdly powerful. As for Qi Yunshen...
Ruan Qing’s slender fingers curled slightly, gripping the small grass on the ground tightly.
The green grass twisted between his fingers, making his fair skin even paler.
Extremely beautiful.
Qi Yunshen’s gaze withdrew from Ruan Qing’s fingers, and the fingers that pinched Ruan Qing’s chin exerted a slight force, lifting Ruan Qing’s head a bit, meeting his beautiful eyes.
“Truly beautiful,” Qi Yunshen said, his eyes showing a hint of amazement and admiration. Then, he lightly rubbed Ruan Qing’s pale pink lips with his thumb.
“Do you know what I was thinking when I asked you to buy condoms?”
Qi Yunshen leaned closer, lowering his voice, “I was thinking...”
Ruan Qing, sensing the increasing danger, didn’t wait for Qi Yunshen to finish and immediately turned away, knocking off Qi Yunshen’s hand that held his chin.
Without a second thought, he turned to escape.
The small grove near Half Moon Lake was usually quiet, but it was a popular spot for couples. Whether going to the teaching building or the dormitory, one had to pass by this area.
As long as he attracted attention, it would be good.
Just as Ruan Qing stood up, about to shout for help while running, someone suddenly touched his back.
Then he realized he couldn’t move or make a sound.
The only thing he could move were his eyes.
Panic and fear appeared in Ruan Qing’s eyes, and a layer of mist covered his beautiful gaze.
But he couldn’t do anything, only able to glance at the man behind him with his eyes.
After affixing the talisman to Ruan Qing’s back, Qi Yunshen casually walked in front of Ruan Qing, gently stroking his face and tousling his disheveled hair, showing tenderness and pity.
He even lightly caressed Ruan Qing’s scattered hair, making him appear more obedient and quiet. “Stay with me, okay?”
Qi Yunshen’s tone was affectionate as he looked into Ruan Qing’s slightly panicked and fearful eyes. “If you stay here, you’ll be the king of this place. There won’t be any danger, and no one will dare to bully you.”
“You can have an ordinary life, do anything you want.”
Qi Yunshen’s voice was incredibly gentle, with a hint of temptation. “I can accompany you to see real snow, witness flowers blooming and withering, and show you everything you want to see.”
Qi Yunshen gently smiled, outlining a future of happiness. “I know you’re afraid of ghosts. I won’t let ghosts appear in front of you or turn you into one. We can be happy forever.”
“If you die, I’ll accompany you in death.”
[Help! What he said is really so moving! If I were the beautiful classmate, I would definitely agree. Even a fool knows how to choose.]
[Whimper, indeed, who can resist the heartfelt confession from the big boss? Especially when the big boss is so handsome, it’s simply enough to make one’s legs go weak.]
[I don’t think it’s a good idea. Men’s mouths are as deceptive as ghosts. This person is clearly the mastermind behind this instance. Who would believe his promises? One day, he might wake up and find himself bored, and he could just casually end it with a slash. You wouldn’t even know how you died.]
[You guys are really considering options, it’s amusing. What can you do if you don’t choose him? You’re all immobilized; if you disagree, you might end up meeting your end right now.]
This time, before Ruan Qing could say anything, the system spoke first in Ruan Qing’s mind.
