"What's with you, player? Trying to show off?"
"I didn't expect Hua Tian to be so cunning. I like it!"
"In this Game, how can you survive without scheming? I actually hope Hua Tian uses the players as stepping stones!"
"So annoying! Why hasn't anything happened to the player yet?"
Lin Xun thought to himself.
"You must all be a bunch of single dogs; otherwise, how could you be so mesmerized by a pretty girl?"
"Unlike me, Lin Xun, with a girl by my side, my heart is as cold as iron, focused solely on my career!"
"On the seventh day of July at the Changsheng Palace, in the dead of night when no one is around to whisper, I wish to be a pair of birds flying together in the sky, and on the ground, I wish to be branches intertwined. Xue Lang, our friendship is as deep as the sea; I will remain by your side until we grow old and never part."
A hauntingly sorrowful voice echoed from afar.
Accompanied by a sharp and eerie sound of a pipa, it drew closer and closer, reaching the ears of the two.
Lin Xun and Hua Tian exchanged glances.
Hua Tian tightly gripped the Escape Red Rope in her hand!
Lin Xun took a step forward.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to see Winter Plum."
"What if it triggers some kind of plot..." Hua Tian said, her face filled with worry.
Lin Xun glanced back at Hua Tian. "What about going back?"
Hua Tian nodded vigorously. "Before the Oiran notices us, we should leave quickly!"
"Then you turn around!"
Hua Tian turned to look, only to find that the door behind them had inexplicably vanished.
"How could this happen..."
"Winter Plum has discovered us. Just like you said at the door, you first heard the song, then the question. But when we entered the room, there was no song."
In other words, the moment Winter Plum began to sing was the moment she noticed the players. Now, they had nowhere to retreat!
They had no choice but to move forward.
As they approached within a dozen steps of the white veil, they suddenly stopped.
The sound of the pipa played by Winter Plum was harmonious and rhythmic, like pearls rolling on a jade plate.
The melody was rarely urgent, filled instead with sorrow.
It fluctuated in pace, sometimes fast, sometimes slow; sometimes distant, sometimes near.
As the piece concluded, the white veil fell abruptly.
Before them stood a graceful woman.
Dressed in white as snow, her hair flowed freely without a single adornment, she resembled a beauty carved from ice and snow.
Her skin was as white as beautiful jade, and her eyes resembled an endless night. A small black mole beneath her brow added to her allure, captivating and enchanting.
The lower half of her face was covered by a white veil.
Though only the upper half of her face was visible, she exuded an irresistible charm that made one feel a deep sense of affection.
Lin Xun looked at her but felt little interest.
A beauty?
How boring!
As a screenwriter, Lin Xun had seen countless beauties on set, even if he wasn't well-known himself.
He had encountered the likes of Di Li Leng Ba, Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, Zhao Liyan...
He had seen them all in person!
The woman before him, while undeniably stunning, was still just a woman.
Where was the excitement compared to ghosts and monsters?
The woman set down the phoenix-shaped pipa in her hands, gracefully stepping closer to Lin Xun.
"Mr. Lin," she bowed slightly, "I entrusted you with some lyrics a few months ago. Have you completed them?"
"Hahaha, a task has been given, a task has been given! If you don't fulfill the ghost's demands, you'll die!"
"Players aren't ancient people; how could they compose poetry? The player is doomed! Ghost, kill him!"
"Die, die, die!"
"One to a hundred, I'm making a fortune! Player, when you die, I'll burn paper for you!"
Lin Xun smiled faintly.
Young!
He paced back and forth in the room.
Closing his eyes, nodding, furrowing his brow, clenching his fists.
It seemed as if he had gained some insight.
After a moment, he recited:
"The dusk has passed, fragrant breezes linger, and the bright moon hangs high. With graceful dance and melodious song, in exquisite sleeves and flowing skirts.
Since ancient times, it has been hard to resist passion; in the secluded path, joy deepens as night falls. With skin as soft as snow and enchanting eyes like silk, how could one not be captivated?"
Hua Tian exclaimed, "Is that even possible?"
"Sir, how can you... speak such lewd words..."
Winter Plum's pale face suddenly flushed with a hint of crimson.
She said she didn't like it, but her face was full of joy.
Women are truly strange creatures.
Sometimes, what you say you don't want is exactly what you desire.
At other times, a refusal is just a refusal.
"Desire is part of human nature. Throughout history, people have suppressed their instincts, only to find release in places like this. Though it may be lewd and lascivious, it stirs the heart."
Hua Tian was dumbfounded.
Is she really getting into character?
Winter Plum covered her mouth, a faint smile appearing in her eyes.
"They say Mr. Lin has someone in his heart, but who could that person be?"
Lin Xun nodded thoughtfully, his brow furrowed as if he were in deep contemplation.
After a moment, he revealed a relieved smile.
"Why concern ourselves with who it is? Let’s just enjoy the wine while we can!"
Winter Plum: "Indeed, you live life to the fullest and see things clearly. So, Mr. Lin, answer me one question!"
Here it comes! Hua Tian felt a wave of anxiety wash over her!
But in the next second, she let out a sigh of relief.
She felt as if she were a student who had been ambushed before an exam.
Although she was nervous about the test, she knew she had prepared for every question, which gave her confidence.
Winter Plum gently placed her hand behind her ear.
She slowly untied the delicate string that was secured there.
The white veil fell silently to the ground without making a sound.
She slightly raised her head and looked at Lin Xun.
At the moment the veil descended, an endless Killing Intent surged forth from beneath the hem of her dress.
The black Killing Intent swirled around her...
In an instant, the white skirt transformed into a deep crimson, as if stained with blood.
Lin Xun faintly heard a sound like water near his ear.
When he looked down again, he found that the pink bed beneath them had vanished.
Now they stood in a sea of blood!
Endless red churned beneath their feet, and the salty, metallic scent of blood assaulted Lin Xun and Hua Tian's nostrils.
Just as Hua Tian was about to scream, Lin Xun covered her mouth.
"Check if there's anything for nasal congestion in the Points Mall?"
Hua Tian nodded and immediately bought a pair of nasal plugs.
Lin Xun snatched the nasal plugs from Hua Tian's hand and stuffed them into his own nose.
Finally, he felt much more comfortable.
Hua Tian stared at the scene in disbelief.
With a face full of helplessness, she bought another pair.
Although the nasal plugs were quite cheap, for some reason, she felt very dissatisfied!
"Mr. Lin, may I ask a question?"
Winter Plum's voice was unusually sharp, as if she had shards of glass in her mouth.
Lin Xun fixed his gaze on Winter Plum.
At that moment, the lower half of Winter Plum's face was covered in blood-red scars.
The scars were so dense that there was hardly any unblemished skin left on her face.
The largest scar on her entire face was on her mouth.
Her lips had been cut from the corners, extending all the way to her earlobes!
When she spoke, blood and flesh could be seen seeping out, and the wounds on either side would constantly heal and tear apart again with her movements.
Lin Xun nodded, "Of course."
In the blink of an eye, Winter Plum suddenly appeared before Lin Xun.
Her cold, pale right hand gently caressed Lin Xun's face.
Her fingernails were sharp as knives, and Lin Xun could see bits of flesh and clots of blood embedded within them...
They were very close to each other.
Close enough for Lin Xun to notice that the vibrant colors of her clothing were stained with blood.
She offered Lin Xun a gentle smile, her nails softly tracing his cheek.
Then, she spoke in a faint voice, "Mr. Lin, do you think I am beautiful?"
Hua Tian felt a surge of joy within.
Indeed!
She had asked that question!
And Lin Xun already knew the answer.
But what happened next was something Hua Tian had never anticipated!
