Fate of Seeing Ghost (Chapter 149)
Ye Sheng looked up in confusion toward the front left.
She wasn’t particularly famous, so how could someone recognize her now… Could it be that someone had secretly taken her photo and uploaded it to the super internet forum?
Her mind buzzed with thoughts until she saw the person who had spoken, and she quickly averted her gaze.
If it weren’t for the limited space in the car, Ye Sheng would have wanted to hide herself completely.
However, Han Weiwei, who was not far away, seemed completely unaware of Ye Sheng’s avoidance and continued to enthusiastically wave in her direction.
Han Weiwei’s lush, seaweed-like dark green curls cascaded down her back, complemented by an expensive outfit and accessories. Her entire appearance screamed luxury and wealth, maintaining her air of a pampered young lady.
Her pale purple eyes were filled with excitement, and if it weren’t for her companion holding her back, she probably would have jumped out of the car and run over…
This reminded Ye Sheng of the last time she had seen Han Weiwei, who had then been a haughty young lady treating her as a love rival.
At that time, Gu Luoyu had been severely injured, and they hadn’t yet moved into the safe zone.
To earn money, Ye Sheng had joined a mining team with Mo Lin. However, an S-class contaminated creature had been lurking near the star iron mine, which was eventually defeated by the esper Ling Lan at great cost.
Thinking back, it felt like it had just happened yesterday, leaving Ye Sheng with a sense of nostalgia.
Han Weiwei, who had been chasing her crush Ling Lan, had suddenly shifted her affections to Ye Sheng after Ye Sheng had helped her once. Ye Sheng deeply regretted it, if only she hadn’t helped!
Even after everyone had been escorted back to the safe zone by the official rescue team, Han Weiwei had kept shouting that they would meet again soon… However, upon returning to the base, the Han family had placed her under house arrest for six months as punishment.
Ye Sheng had breathed a sigh of relief and gradually forgotten about her.
Who would have thought she’d suddenly appear today? It was terrifying!
(ಥ_ಥ)
Unlike the other esper individuals who had been drawn to Ye Sheng, Han Weiwei was just an ordinary person, yet she harbored an intense fondness and affection for Ye Sheng, which made the situation even more complicated… However, Ye Sheng recalled that she and Gu Luoyu had once pretended to be a couple to fend off unwanted admirers.
Perhaps they could do the same now…
Why not give it a try?
With this thought, Ye Sheng suddenly felt calm, composed as ever.
Mo Lin, who had arrived earlier, hadn’t been waiting in the car. Instead, he had been wandering around the meeting point.
When he saw Han Weiwei greeting Ye Sheng, he chuckled and approached, saying, “Sister Ye, what a coincidence! We’ve run into her again~”
“(▼へ▼メ)”
Ye Sheng almost rolled her eyes at his words.
What kind of cursed coincidence was this!
Mo Lin didn’t seem to mind Ye Sheng’s lack of response and continued chattering, “This young lady was supposed to be under house arrest for six months, but because of the rollout of the transformation potion, she was released early. Want to guess what special ability Han Weiwei awakened after taking the potion?”
With Mo Lin, the information broker, there was no need to worry about unanswered questions. But why was he looking at Gu Luoyu while talking?
Ye Sheng stiffened her neck, deliberately ignoring it without a hint of guilt.
She had always firmly rejected any advances.
She had never given any of her unwanted admirers hope of winning her over.
So she was completely justified.
She wasn’t afraid of Gu Luoyu getting angry…
o(´^｀)o
That’s what she thought, but when she cautiously glanced over, she was unluckily caught by Gu Luoyu. When those red eyes looked over with a teasing smile, Ye Sheng’s heart raced, and she quickly averted her gaze, pretending nothing had happened.
“Guess what? Just spit it out or shut up.”
As Ye Sheng spoke in a harsh tone, she secretly pressed her hand against her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart. Mo Lin, standing by the car door, didn’t dare look anymore, fearing he’d be dragged into trouble.
Mo Lin had known Ye Sheng for quite some time. Seeing how well she and Gu Luoyu got along and that they were living together, he had assumed they were already in a relationship…
But now, it seemed that wasn’t the case!
They were still in that ambiguous stage.
However, considering the unique nature of esper individuals, it made sense… Even if Ye Sheng was an esper magnet, she couldn’t attract every esper individual!
Gu Luoyu was quite resistant to temptation, huh~
Mo Lin thought to himself, temporarily setting aside his worries about the mission and not continuing to tease, “The Han family holds a certain status in the outer district, so it’s not surprising they managed to get their hands on a high-grade transformation potion. This high-grade potion has a 70% chance of awakening a special ability, with an extremely low fatality rate.”
“Han Weiwei’s special ability is metamorphosis.”
Upon hearing about Han Weiwei’s special ability, Ye Sheng raised an eyebrow in surprise… After all, when she had been at the service hall distributing the transformation potion, she had seen many people who had successfully awakened abilities, most of which were bizarre and impractical.
Things like time manifestation, object marking, and so on…
So far, the only person she had seen with a truly lethal ability was Chen Yuan, who could manipulate shadows.
It seemed Han Weiwei was very lucky, one of the few to awaken a powerful ability.
Though Mo Lin didn’t say much more, his expression showed a hint of envy, indicating that the metamorphosis ability was quite impressive.
Ye Sheng wasn’t envious, however, as the price of having a special ability was developing a craving for blood and flesh.
The thought that Han Weiwei, after taking the transformation potion, would also suffer from this side effect left Ye Sheng with mixed feelings. It wasn’t that she had any special concern for her admirer, but seeing someone she once knew transformed in this way was unsettling.
“Ye Sheng, it’s been so long! You’re still as adorable as ever!”
Just as Mo Lin was about to say more, Han Weiwei finally broke free from her companion’s attempts to dissuade her and, with excitement plastered on her face, jumped out of the car.
In an instant, a pair of massive white wings materialized behind her, and with a gentle flap, she was by Ye Sheng’s side in a flash.
Incredibly fast!
As she happily reached out to grab the door of the convertible, the wings behind her dissolved into countless points of light and vanished.
Upon hearing Han Weiwei’s enthusiastic compliment, Ye Sheng was momentarily stunned. She looked up at Han Weiwei’s beaming face, radiant with joy, and chose to respond with an equally bright smile.
In the next moment, Ye Sheng grabbed Gu Luoyu’s arm and pulled her over from the driver’s seat.
Holding on tightly, the two appeared exceptionally intimate. As Han Weiwei’s smile gradually faded, Ye Sheng acted as if she hadn’t noticed and began introducing, “It’s been a while. This is my partner, Gu Luoyu. I suppose it’s because of her care that I’ve become even more adorable!”
Mo Lin, standing by the convertible, stared at Ye Sheng in shock.
His expression screamed, ‘What kind of unbelievable nonsense are you spouting? I thought you two were still in the ambiguous stage, and now you’re saying you’re a couple? You’ve kept me in the dark for so long, wuwuwuwu!’ His face cycled through a myriad of emotions, incredibly animated.
Han Weiwei, on the other hand, felt like she was on an emotional rollercoaster.
Now, she was furious, her young lady temper flaring up, “Ye Sheng, I’m a person with special abilities now, and my family is wealthy. Someone as outstanding as me is the one who deserves you. What does Gu Luoyu have?”
After a moment of silence, Ye Sheng finally spoke, “She’s an esper.”
