Chapter 931: Chapter 931 - The Sins Are of Your Own Making

Everything happened so suddenly. The girl had only been two meters away from Ling Sheng. In an instant, she had already reached her back and stabbed toward her heart with the knife.

A cold light flashed past, and everyone’s eyes widened in shock. It was too late to stop her. Su Guo shouted, “Sheng Sheng, be careful!”

Ling Sheng felt a chill run down her back. Before she could dodge, she was pulled away from her original spot by someone and her head smacked into the person’s chest. The extremely familiar smell wafted into her nose, and her tense nerves relaxed.

The moment Jun Shiyan pulled the young lady into his embrace, he blocked his front with his arm. The murder weapon brushed past his wrist and made a gash. Blood gushed out instantly.

The culprit already had her knife snatched away by him and fell to the ground. When she raised her head again, her face was ashen pale. She did not know what she had done, but she wailed out loud.

Ling Sheng could smell the strong smell of blood. When she turned her head, she saw the man’s hand bleeding. Her heart ached suddenly and she grabbed his wrist. However, before she could speak, she heard a loud bang in her head!

“Ling Sheng!”

Someone was shouting for her!

Ling Sheng’s vision turned black as her body fell forward.

The expression in Jun Shiyan’s eyes changed as he hugged her nervously. “Sheng Sheng! Sheng Sheng!”

White.

A boundless white color.

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in front of her, giving Ling Sheng a huge fright. She touched her heart and realized that her heart had stopped beating. Only then did she realize that she was in her consciousness. “Who are you?”

“Ji Xing!” Ji Xing was fuming. He pointed at her angrily. “I shouldn’t have listened to the two of you nutcases back then, and used your lousy plan! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to separate from my darling either! The two of you are great though! You can get together no matter where you go.”

Ling Sheng understood. “You’re Song Yiyan’s dream man. Watch your mouth! Who are you talking about?!”

“I’m talking about you and Jun Shiyan!” Ji Xing let out a cold snort. “I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you. You’d better recover your memory quickly and wake your man up. Otherwise, if you can’t kill the trash fish, we’ll all be finished.”

Ling Sheng said, “Can you explain more clearly?!”

Ji Xing bellowed, “Wake your man up! Get Jun Shiyan to wake up quickly!”

Ling Sheng, who was also annoyed, bellowed at him too, “Then, why did you enter Little White Bunny’s dreams everyday and do this and that to her?! Why didn’t you come and find me earlier?!”

He had probably used up all his energy to have fun with Little White Bunny every night!

“She’s my woman! Are you?” After saying that, Ji Xing secretly despised himself. At this point in time, who was in the mood to quarrel with her?

It was not that he did not want to find her and Jun Shiyan directly. He knew that this was the simplest and most direct method too, but he had to use his wifey to establish a preliminary connection with this world!

Ling Sheng was a fool with no memory now. She would not understand! He could not be bothered to stoop to her level either.

“Then you should at least allocate some time to guide me. Do you know how confused I am right now? I’m about to go crazy! Look at my hair. It falls off in clumps.” Ling Sheng gritted her teeth.

“Then I can only give you one sentence: One cannot escape one’s own sins!” Ji Xing gave her a disdainful look. “Long story short, remember what I said. I’ll meet up with you guys as soon as possible!”

Ling Sheng had not expected that she had never lived in the real world. The world she had once thought was real was just within a book too. Before she had transmigrated into this book, she had also lived in a book.

Her so-called transmigration had been from one book to another, that was all. Furthermore, it was a fan fiction based on a popular novel called “Enamored with Him”.

“Enamored with Him” was a large-scale apocalyptic science fiction novel that had been serialized for nearly 20 years. It had a huge word count and had been updated with tens of millions of words so far.

Besides the protagonist, there were no less than a thousand people with names, surnames, and backgrounds with their own unique personality and charm. Any one of them could be written into an interesting novel. This was also the main reason why there were scores of fan fictions.

When the proliferation of fan fictions went unchecked, that also gave birth to chaos. They could randomly pair up any characters they liked and write a separate book. Similarly, Luo Xin and Gu Shen were just more likable supporting characters in the novel. They had been written into fan fiction books and modern romance fiction by the people who liked them.

She and Jun Shiyan were also two independent characters in the anime. However, the two of them did not have any fan fiction written about them! None! There were thousands upon thousands of fan fictions, but not a single person had written about them!

“Enamored with Him?” Ling Sheng did not believe that as charismatic as Third Master and she were, they did not have a fan fiction together. “Are you sure it’s apocalyptic? Sci-fi? Not historical? Why don’t Third Master and I have a fan fiction? People in the real world must have problems with their ability to admire characters!”

Taking pleasure in her unhappiness, Ji Xing told her that because the two of them didn’t have a fan fiction, no matter which book it was, they could only be supporting actors. Even as supporting actors, they had pitifully few scenes together as a couple. The Third Master and her could only try their best to create ties.

“You can’t behave like a gentleman while the dishes are being served, but swear like a bully when dinner is over[1]. After all, you’re also a character in a book.” Ji Xing sighed. He wasn’t trying to hurt her. “You and Jun Shiyan didn’t have any interactions in the first place. If the two of you had not awakened at the same time, no one would have written the two of you as the protagonists in a fan fiction even if there are thousands of fan fiction novels, let alone billions of fan fictions.”

Ling Sheng rolled her eyes at him. Why did she and the Third Master not deserve to have fan fictions, to be male and female leads, or experience love? She somewhat doubted the authenticity of his words. “Since it’s a fan fiction, why do I look different in both books? My name is also different.”

“One thousand authors means there are one thousand Hamlets. Every single one of those fan fiction authors’ image of you is different! Besides, there are so many authors. There must be a few illiterates. Perhaps they were written by a kindergarten graduate.” After Ji Xing said that, he suddenly realized that he had been led astray by her unknowingly. He warned her sternly. “From now on, you’re not allowed to speak. Listen to me!”

Ling Sheng shut her mouth obediently and listened. Ji Xing had said that she and the Third Master had been the first to awaken in the book and had fallen in love. However, before long, they had been discovered by the trash fish. The trash fish would not allow anyone to escape his control. Hence, he thought of all ways to stop the two of them and chase them wherever they went, trying to turn them into puppets in his hands.

However, later on, the two of them were not the only ones who had awakened in the book. Due to their relationship, Song Yiyan, Ji Xing, and Si Chengluo also possessed their own consciousness. Perhaps there were also people they did not know who had achieved their own independence and consciousness.

“Who is this trash fish?”

“The awareness created by the rules of the world in the book, who is also the so-called God, the Heaven, and the thing that controls the fate of all people.”

“If he’s that impressive, why is he called ‘trash fish’?”

“You gave him the name. You’re asking me?”

“Pfft, so I’m even more awesome!”

Ji Xing said that the trash fish still wasn’t sure which book they were in. The reason he had appeared was only because she had Si Chengluo and Song Yiyan by her side. The two of them had been influenced by her and had woken up temporarily. It was because of the slightly larger energy fluctuations that he had been able to capture their existence for a short moment. That was why he had gone over to try threatening them in that manner.
