Chapter 6: Your Thesis Shows Absolutely No Signs of Scientific Training

Sang Nian was increasingly angry:

“I gave him such a luxurious new house, and he’s still not satisfied?”

Liu Liu: “Maybe he thinks you have ulterior motives? After all, ‘a person who shows excessive kindness is either a villain or a thief’.”

Sang Nian twitched her lips:

“True, after all, his favorability is already negative twelve thousand, no matter what I do, he’ll think there’s a catch.”

She pressed her throbbing temples, “He probably rehearses ways to kill me in his mind every day.”

Liu Liu disagreed with this statement:

“You’re underestimating him, how could it be just once, at least four digits to start.”

Sang Nian kicked off her shoes and got into bed, she threw Liu Liu onto the pillow, remembering another important matter:

“By the way, I can’t use the original owner’s whip, that demon will come in half a month, what if I accidentally hit too hard and I die?”

According to the original plot, a demon broke into Qingzhou City and wanted to cause a big ruckus, but the City Lord Sang wasn’t a pushover, he sent cultivators to encircle and suppress it before it could harm anyone, but unfortunately, it still escaped.

It was seriously injured and filled with hatred, it kidnapped the City Lord sang’s sister, luckily, a few disciples from the (Xiaoyao, Sect) happened to pass by and came to the rescue.

One of the disciples was the female lead of the book, Su Xueyin.

The whole story unfolds from there.

Liu Liu said, “You won’t die, the original owner has a bunch of defensive artifacts, all top-tier orange-ranked weapons, even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator would have to fight for a long time, you just have to lie down and wait for the female lead to save you.”

Sang Nian’s heart settled, she sighed, “It’s good to be rich.”

Liu Liu rubbed its bulging belly and sighed, “It’s good to be rich.”

…

The next day, Sang Nian deliberately got up early.

She asked the kitchen to prepare an extra breakfast, she planned to eat with Xie Chenzhou, trying to build a relationship with him.

But as soon as she took a step towards him, she heard a series of notification sounds:

“Ding~ Favorability -10”

“Ding~ Favorability -10”

“Ding~ Favorability -10”

?

Sang Nian looked at Xie Chenzhou, who was expressionless in front of her, she didn’t believe it and took another step.

“Ding~ Favorability -100, Xie Chenzhou’s current favorability -123200”

Sang Nian was completely numb.

She gave up, she ate six meals a day, three bowls per meal, she did radio calisthenics when she had nothing to do, and she kept her distance from Xie Chenzhou.

Half a month passed quickly.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, a dark shadow silently sneaked into the Xianyin Pavilion.

“What a beautiful beauty.”

Through the hazy, thin mermaid silk curtain, the dark shadow chuckled, its tone was frivolous, “Be my plaything in my tent, little beauty.”

Sang Nian, who had been waiting, jumped out of bed, she cooperated perfectly and stretched out her hands:

“Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go, let’s go.”

The dark shadow turned and left.

Sang Nian: “?”

Comrade, did you forget something?

The next second, there was a commotion from another room.

“What a beautiful beauty!”

Oh no, that direction is…

“Xie Chenzhou!”

Sang Nian didn’t have time to think, she ran over.

“Bang——!”

She kicked open the door, the room was filled with black mist.

Xie Chenzhou was fighting with something, his figure was blurred, only a general outline could be seen.

“Don’t struggle,” the shadow laughed even more lewdly, “Be my plaything in my tent, hahaha”

Sang Nian: “???”

“You got the wrong person! I’m the City Lord’s sister!” She said anxiously.

The dark shadow hesitated for a moment.

It looked at Xie Chenzhou, then at Sang Nian, and finally said:

“Next time.”

After it finished speaking, it grabbed Xie Chenzhou and flew out of the house.

Seeing them about to leave, Sang Nian was in a hurry, she didn’t care about anything else, she took a running start and jumped, trying to pull Xie Chenzhou down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the corner of his clothes, she felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

“Sang Nian, why did you give me this trash.”

“I read it from beginning to end and all I see is a blank mind.”

“Your thesis shows absolutely no signs of scientific training.”

After an unknown amount of time, Sang Nian heard a familiar voice.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously, finally she could see the scene in front of her clearly.

It was a hot summer, the leaves of the camphor tree outside the glass window reflected the sunlight, they were a shiny green.

The air conditioner was running silently, the temperature in the overly cold office was too low, her advisor’s mouth was opening and closing, he was excitedly saying something.

She was… back?

Sang Nian hadn’t even had time to be happy, the advisor slammed the printed thesis on the table, his tone was colder than a knife that had been used to kill ten fish:

“You’re on academic probation.”

With a loud bang, the world collapsed.

Sang Nian suddenly sat up, cold sweat soaked through her underwear.

“It was just a dream.” Her back hair stood on end, she shook her head in shock, “That was too scary.”

“Drip, drip——”

Water droplets kept falling from the cracks in the rock above, the stone surface where she was lying was wet, and her skirt was also wet for the most part.

No wonder it was so cold.

Sang Nian splashed some water on her face, after she completely woke up, she stood up, wringing out her skirt as she looked around.

It was a very spacious underground cave, the light was dim, the walls were covered with dark green moss, it was cold and eerie.

“Xie Chenzhou?”

The demon was gone, she tried calling out, her voice bounced back and forth between the walls, forming echoes.

There was no response.

“Liu Liu.” She called again.

A white light flew out of her sea of consciousness, the little parrot hopped onto her shoulder, “What’s up?”

“Where’s Xie Chenzhou?” She asked.

“In the cave next door.” It said.

Sang Nian leaned against the wall and groped her way over there, she was worried, “He wouldn’t be dead, would he?”

“No, he’s still breathing.” Liu Liu said.

Sang Nian quickened her pace, she regretted everything:

“I knew I should have put a couple of defensive artifacts on him, now it’s too late, if he dies, I’m done for.”

“But why did that demon grab him and not me?” She couldn’t understand, “The original plot wasn’t written like that.”

Liu Liu scratched its head, “Maybe— ”

“It’s a dog for looks?”

Sang Nian: “.”

She shouldn’t have asked.

After turning a corner, a larger cave suddenly appeared in front of her.

There were many luminous stones embedded in the walls, illuminating the entire cave as bright as day, a stone bed was covered with thick and soft animal fur.

Xie Chenzhou, dressed in black, was lying on the bed.

Sang Nian ran over, “Xie Chenzhou?!”

His face was pale, his eyes were closed.

“Quick, check what’s wrong with him.” She urged Liu Liu.

Liu Liu’s tone was unusually serious, “He doesn’t have any artifacts to protect him, he’s been poisoned by the demon, the situation is not good.”

Sang Nian took off all the artifacts on her body and put them in his arms, “Is it still in time for me to save him now?”

“There’s only one way to save him.” Liu Liu said.

“What?” Sang Nian asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, a feather turned into a glow and entered her forehead, she felt dizzy and fell beside Xie Chenzhou.

…

“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have given birth to you.”

The sky was dark, the rain was pouring down.

The cold raindrops hit her body, Sang Nian suddenly opened her eyes.

She looked around in confusion, she didn’t understand how she suddenly ended up in this wilderness.

Someone was talking in the distance, their shadows were mixed with the sound of rain, it was hard to hear clearly.

She wiped the water off her face with her sleeve and looked up.

It was a strange… mother and son.

The wind, carrying the smell of mud, stirred the woman’s plain white dress.

She looked down at the child kneeling at her feet, her face was blurry.

“Xie Chenzhou, I shouldn’t have given birth to you.” She said word by word.

Sang Nian’s heart skipped a beat.

She looked down and saw the thin child kneeling on the ground, covered in mud and dirt.

That child was…

Xie Chenzhou?!
