Gu Shengyin was bowing her head thinking about something when she saw Ho Qing furrow her brow and look directly in her direction.
Gu Shengyin felt a chill in her heart; she was sure there wasnât anything else in her direction.
"System, are you certain that the mission target cannot see the Grim Reaperâs presence?"
The system said, "Confirmed, only those nearing death can see the Grim Reaperâs presence."
Gu Shengyin felt that something was amiss; could it be a coincidence?
Ho Qing also felt something was amiss.
She constantly felt a cold aura surrounding her today, but upon looking around, she couldnât see anything.
Could it be an illusion?
She furrowed her brow and secretly kept the matter in her mind.
Seeing Ho Qing leading that beautiful young man into a room, Gu Shengyin, uninterested in watching the live performance, did not follow along.
She found her way alone to the rooftop of a tall building and slowly sat there, enjoying the night breeze.
Just now, she indeed saw Ho Qing surrounded by a faint golden aura.
This kind of golden light, Gu Shengyin was very familiar withâit was Merit Golden Light.
This was the Merit Golden Light that transformed from the good deeds Ho Qing did in her past life, now protecting her in this life.
Thinking of this, she felt a headache.
Judging by the strength of the merit surrounding Ho Qing, in this life, she was definitely destined for smooth sailing.
No matter how reckless she might be in this life, the karma she creates she would only need to repay in her next life.
She absolutely couldnât make a move against her.
The best defense is offense, but this time, Gu Shengyin could only defend.
She could only have the system keep a close watch on Ho Qingâs every move, preventing her from seizing any opportunity to attack.
Gazing far into the bustling lights of the city, Gu Shengyinâs mindset suddenly widened.
The system was puzzled: "Host, have you understood?"
Gu Shengyin smiled, though the smile was hidden beneath the wide cloak, even the system couldnât see it.
"Whatâs there to them? I canât make a move against her, so Iâll just wait. A mortalâs life is but a few decades; why not hide from her for those decades? As long as I preserve my life during that time, it would count as completing the mission, wouldnât it?"
If the system knew there existed such a thing as emoticons in the world, at this moment it would be like this: (âoâ).
So this is an option, my host is truly ingenious!
Gu Shengyin didnât say anything further; though she spoke lightly, she felt the matter wouldnât be that simple.
Otherwise, how could Ho Qing, who couldnât see the Grim Reaperâs presence, achieve Godslayer in the original plot?
"Are you... the Grim Reaper?" A childish but excited voice came from behind Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin turned back, surprised to see a little boy standing behind her.
He looked about seven or eight years old, dressed in a white shirt and little suit, handsome like the Little Prince from fairy tales.
The Little Prince was intently gazing at the person in the black cloak not far away.
This personâs appearance is exactly like the Grim Reaper from mythology!
Gu Shengyin was astonished: "You can see me?"
Simultaneously, she asked the system: "Whatâs going on here?"
Upon seeing the little boy, she instinctively flipped through the record book she held.
But there was no relevant record.
Her lover, in the record book, had no records.
The little boy tilted his head to look at her; he felt this Grim Reaper-like person looked exceedingly kind, and couldnât help but walk two steps forward.
"Why canât anyone see you?"
