Ling felt a lingering bitterness in her heart, like an overinflated balloon that burst at the slightest touch.
She slowly loosened her clenched fist, and her whole demeanor gradually slumped down.
She was momentarily surprised. What exactly was her stance when she inquired about Hoshimi Miyabi?
Is she Brother Heng's girlfriend?
Or is she a third party trying to take advantage of the situation?
Brother Heng so handsome, his strength is beyond doubt, he's the strongest among the New Eridu.
Not only that, he's both gentle and strong; the number of girls who want to date him could probably circle the entire New Eridu.
And what about myself?
He was just a student who had escaped from the Helios Academy, and the "Sinner of the Old Capital " was his beloved teacher. He had always had to hide his identity and live a life of hiding.
It's a classic example of someone who has neither money nor power.
What kind of drug did she take to think she was worthy of Lu Yingheng was as radiant as the sun?
The classmate Zhu Yuan mentioned has the backing of a prestigious family in New Eridu, and is also the next head of the family.
Unlike me, who was completely powerless, this person was incredibly strong. They had been by Brother Heng's side since childhood and had been taught by Brother Heng. Their circumstances were far better than mine.
Only a girl as outstanding as him could be worthy of him, right?
A girl like me wouldn't lack anything with Brother Heng by her side, right?
Zhu Yuan silently made up her mind. "To offer sacrifices to a ghost that is not its own is flattery; to see what is right and not do it is cowardice."
"Senior, you once said that as a sheriff, all you need to do is make sure you're doing what you're supposed to do."
"Although I chose this profession because of my superior's influence, it wasn't to repay him or to gain his praise."
"All I need is to be like him back then, someone who can protect others!"
Qingyi nodded, then shifted her attention to the distraught Ling:
"Then let's get ready to go! Bell, do you want to control Eous and come with us?"
Ling snapped out of her daze, "Huh? Okay!"
She suddenly snapped out of her daze: What was I thinking just now?
Was I just feeling sorry for myself?
Ling suddenly felt very confused; she had no idea why she had such an extreme thought just now.
Like that period of time, suddenly a different version of myself took over, and I started thinking about some incorrect things on my own.
Ling thought for a while and decided to go back and find Brother Heng to find out what was going on.
That's not something she would think about; she only recognizes the gap between herself and that Hoshimi.
I will strive to be a better version of myself so that I can help Brother Heng, and then I will do my best to win Brother Heng's favor.
Instead of wallowing in self-pity here.
The Qingyi turned to Ling and said, "Ling, you seemed distracted just now. If something's wrong, you can take a break."
"Okay, don't worry, Qingyi, I'll be fine."
Ling had already rallied and responded earnestly.
Qingyi and Zhu Yuan left quickly, and Ling immediately rushed back to the video store to prepare to control Eous to provide remote support.
Just after Zhu Yuan, Qingyi, and Ling left that place, a figure slowly emerged from a dark corner.
It was none other than Lu Yingheng, with her black hair and golden eyes.
Lu Yingheng was leaning against the wall, her eyes half-closed, her mind churning with turmoil.
What the hell is that?!
Your protagonist has an incredibly strong will!
Even after I've used my spiritual authority, can't I influence your mind?
He had long sensed that Ling seemed to be acting strangely towards him, and that she was having thoughts that were slipping out of his control.
From the moment he came into this world until now, his primary goal has always been to save it.
He still can't forget the subtitle that appeared before his eyes when he first transmigrated:
Survive! Make the important characters in the game work for you!
He didn't understand what that sentence meant, even though he now possessed 60% of the bloodline.
But he still followed the instructions in the subtitles, so he kept changing the original plot and, with the goal of manipulating the important characters, tried his best to gain their favor.
But he never expected that his goodwill seemed to have gone a little too far, gradually turning into a chaotic situation...
Therefore, after accepting the confessions of Hoshimi Wan and Remiel, he almost always avoided developing a romantic relationship with them when trying to win their affections.
However, the process of raising those three little girls failed, and they even turned into yanderes due to their forced faked deaths.
Thinking of this, Lu Yingheng sighed deeply.
Now that things have come to this, all he can do is try his best to prevent any other characters in the story from falling in love with him in the future.
Now, his main way of boosting his Emotion Points is through the bell, since the audience is definitely watching the main character.
Therefore, Rin absolutely cannot fall in love with him, at least not now. He is after that bloodline, once it reaches 100%, has the ability to change right and wrong in an instant.
He guessed that if he could obtain that power, he could probably change the Hollow nature of the world and save it from its dilapidated state.
"Boss, is there anything you can help me with?"
On the other side, a dark shadow slowly solidified, transforming into a man draped in a cloak.
Lu Yingheng covered her eyes, feeling utterly exhausted.
"You handled the Belobog Heavy Industries matter very well. Now I have one more thing I need you to do."
Long Yi didn't feel like he was running errands at all. He believed he had grasped the truth: why didn't the Dragon Emperor cultivate other trusted confidants and instead send them to do errands?
Because the Dragon Emperor trusts him!
Lu Yingheng was simply too lazy to grant any more authority to others.
Lu Yingheng took out a yellowed piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Long Yi:
"Give the note to the head of the Hoshimi Family. If you don't see it, infiltrate the Hoshimi Family Hoshimi Family that this matter is very important."
Long Yi nodded seriously, without even glancing at the contents of the note.
But Lu Yingheng sensed the curiosity in his eyes. "Want to know what's on the note?"
Long Yi immediately shook his head. "I have absolutely no interest in the boss's contact with the Hoshimi Family head."
Lu Yingheng patted his shoulder. "It's nothing. When the gods are resurrected, their beloved fox will also be reborn from the grave."
Long Yi felt he hadn't understood anything, but the Dragon Emperor patted him on the shoulder, a gesture that thrilled him.
"Mission accomplished!"
The Dragon Emperor patted him on the shoulder!
What does this tell us?
The Dragon Emperor values him highly!
Long Yi thought excitedly, and even his speed of leaving increased considerably, as he wanted to get to the Hoshimi Family as soon as possible.
