Liang Sisi was actually a bit better off; she was just one of them and not a Dialectician.
Although she was affected too, the drama they were really filming was already wrapping up; there was an impact, but not that big.
But with Lai Chuanyuâs sudden onset, the school and his workplace were both considering whether his condition was an acute episode or some contagious disease.
Or was it congenital?
These illnesses might have been hidden in the body without showing, then suddenly flared up; he would no longer be able to do any intense physical activity.
Then in his acting career, there would likely be some intense movements he could never do again.
Lai Chuanyu hadnât expected that for the sake of money, a tiny little "task" would almost ruin his academic career and his dream of becoming a star.
Right now he was in bed, half-conscious, dreaming; it was a very, very long dream.
This dream was related to Luo Youyou.
The Luo Youyou in the dream wasnât as hard to approach as she was now.
She was like when they first metâso pure, and so purely dumb.
In the dream he won Luo Youyouâs heart, became her secret boyfriend, and then went to intern at her familyâs company.
Together with Liang Sisi, the two of them entered the Luo Familyâs company, and after graduation he joined the Luo Familyâs company to develop his career.
In the sweet dream he married Luo Youyou, and sure enough, he "saved himself decades of struggle"; she not only gave him money but also invested in starting his own company.
In this dream, Lai Chuanyu didnât want to wake up; in this dream he had Luo Youyou, the daughter who stayed home as a housewife, at his beck and call.
And at his side, he had a confidante, a lover who kept him company.
In the end, Luo Youyou just stayed at home and turned into an old lady.
Liang Sisi stayed by his side all along, becoming his mistress and his support.
In the end the two of them still flew off together; when Luo Youyou had no more use value, they had her killed.
By the end he was the big boss of some major corporation; after Luo Youyou died, he went to his lover Liang Sisi and the sons and daughters they had together, and the whole family lived happily ever after.
After Luo Youyou died, the Yue Familyâs company did try to suppress them.
But he retaliated against them one by one, and with the shares Luo Youyou left behind, he gradually shifted and maneuvered the equity.
In the end he also seized the Luo Familyâs company for himself and changed its name.
He had all the Luo Family members killed.
In this dream, Lai Chuanyu was very happy; he eventually became a big tycoon. After Luo Youyou died, after he killed her family, and after he finished swallowing their companyâ
He thought he had become some rich man in this city and had entered high society.
At this point his beautiful dream had "come true," a completely ordinary Phoenix Manâs dream, so real.
With his constant "struggle," he thought that in his old age he would still be together with his lover, their sons and daughters living a blessed life.
He thought it would be happiness till the grand finale.
He had no idea that when he was still in his prime, that happy life had only lasted a few years; then one day, heaven and earth suddenly turned pitch-black, as if the world was collapsing, with thunder and lightning.
The city or the world he was in just collapsed like that.
It was like he diedâand before he died, he saw Luo Youyouâs face, from the beautiful young girl who had just entered college, to the old ladyâs face, then to a face filled with hatred for him, and that look in her eyes.
In this dream, Lai Chuanyu went from sweet dream to nightmare and still hadnât woken up.
Letting him have this dream, letting him feel the tormentâthis was the Heart Demon Green Ox gave him, letting him roll around his greedy thoughts once more in the dreamscape.
Luo Youyou went to the hotel restaurant where she was going to meet Mo Jingyan.
She didnât know that Green Ox, in order to punish the Scumbag Man, had made the scumbag dream about his previous life.
The plot would change a little because of this.
Luo Youyou and Mo Jingyan entered a private dining room in a certain hotel one after the other.
Mo Jingyan had a reservation here; it seemed heâd had his assistant book the place.
All Luo Youyou had to do was give the name of the private room to go in.
When they arrived, it was only around four in the afternoon, not yet dinnertime.
The reason they werenât meeting in a cafĂ© or some other placeâ
Maybe it was because they didnât want to become public figures in places with too many people.
Mo Jingyan also remembered how last time, when they met at a cafĂ©, theyâd been photographed right on the street. Although the photos and videos didnât clearly show their facesâ
It would be different in a hotel; they werenât in a room, but in a private dining room, precisely so others wouldnât get the wrong idea.
Of course, they had also thought about going to one of those little private home-style restaurants, but theyâd met there so many times that plenty of people had already seen them.
For a transaction like todayâs, they naturally had to change locations.
Mo Jingyan knew this hotel was an asset under his familyâs name, and they could reserve the presidential suite for their talks.
But he also planned to chat until dinnertime and then have a meal together.
He didnât know if Luo Youyou would give him that honor.
Mo Jingyan had another motive: he wanted Luo Youyou to invite him over to her home as a guest.
Even though that probably wasnât going to happen, he still had a little bit of hopeâfor now as a friend, and even better as a boyfriend.
Luo Youyou hadnât thought that far. After all, they were meeting now for a deal.
She wanted to rake in more money; these kinds of things couldnât end up in just anyoneâs hands.
Mo Jingyan was someone she could trust besides family.
For now, she could only make money off him.
After Luo Youyou entered the hotel private room, she immediately set up a simple Formation inside.
Their conversationâwhether there were cameras in this private room or notâcouldnât be seen, nor could their voices be heard.
Nor could any other Capable Being spy on them with Divine Power.
Once Luo Youyou stepped into the private room and the waiter had been politely dismissedâ
The door to the room closed.
Mo Jingyan, who had arrived first, hadnât ordered any drinks, alcohol, or tea.
After Luo Youyou came in, the service staff had already helped boil hot water to the side.
Tea leaves were already set out; they could make tea themselves.
But Luo Youyou didnât take out the tea leaves to brew tea; instead, she took out a container and then grabbed two cups and poured out two glasses of juice.
When she took out the container and opened the lid, the aroma of the juice drifted out, carrying a sweet Spiritual Energy fragrance.
Mo Jingyan had never thought he would one day actually start craving juice.
It wasnât brewed liquor, nor was it the kind of drink they usually had.
Mo Jingyan had already guessed this was juice squeezed from rare Spirit Fruit.
Just like that wine theyâd drunk beforeâthose wines had been rather rare.
"Professor, have a glass of apple âsweat.â"
The apple juice Luo Youyou poured was special in that the ordinary apple trees had been transplanted into the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space and then grafted; the later apple treesâ
Were also grown by grafting. Once the original ordinary apple trees were planted in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, their variety had already been improved.
And then they were grafted again; by the second batch of apple trees, they were already cultivated as Spiritual Fruit Trees.
The longer the fruit trees were grown in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, the richer the Spiritual Power in the Spirit Fruit.
Later on, Jiang Tang obtained her own internal space and transplanted some Spirit Plant Lingling into her own internal space.
Green Ox and Eryao, as the big brothers among the Spiritual Pets, had harvested quite a lot of fruit over the years, kept in the warehouse!
Those fruits were either used to brew wine or to make juice.
The Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space had now upgraded into a true Immortal Spirit Space.
Whether it was vegetables and fruits, or the Demonic Beasts and Divine Beasts cultivating inside, they were all leveling up in the increasingly rich Spiritual Energy.
This time, the fruits Green Ox provided and helped juice were generally taken out from the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space Warehouse.
The harvests were getting bigger and bigger, and they were distributed as benefits.
The things Green Ox gave Luo Youyou from the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space Warehouse were many.
Vegetables and melons, plus some Little Demon Beasts raised in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space, slaughtered and stored as meat in the warehouse.
And some low-level Spiritual Medicine that could be used to make Pills.
Ever since Green Ox could take human form, he had quite a few spaces on hand tooâJade Pendant Space, watch space, rings, Storage Bags and the like.
Some items he refined himself; after all, he had this little crafting skill, though the items he made werenât as good as those of Ye Tian, Eryao, or Jiang Tang.
Giving them to small clients was definitely a great perk, especially in a civilized world like this where there wasnât much good stuff!
