Yu Tang was interrupted, and only then did he see the situation around him clearly.
It turned out that the wire that had been suspending him had suddenly loosened, causing him to slip off the top of the tower and fall seriously.
But suddenly, it regained its balance in mid-air and landed gently on the ground.
Although nothing unexpected happened, it still frightened everyone present.
They surrounded Yu Tang, anxiously asking what happened. Yu Tang quickly replied that he was fine and it was just a false alarm.
After his agent and director confirmed that he was alright, they turned to reprimand the staff member controlling the wires.
The people around breathed a sigh of relief and went about their own business.
"Are you alright?" Qin Junyang hugged his waist tighter and whispered in his ear, "If I hadn't been here, you would have been smashed to pieces!"
"So clumsy, having to be suspended by wires, don't do it again!"
Yu Tang tilted her head and retorted in a low voice, "That thing just now had nothing to do with wire work, right? It was an evil spirit, wasn't it?"
His words made Qin Junyang silent for a moment before he said, "That's human nature."
Just as Yu Tang was about to ask why he said that, Qin Junyang glanced around and pointed to someone in the distance, saying, "See that? That's the person who wants to kill you."
Yu Tang followed his finger and saw Ren Yan, a male celebrity who had already changed into royal attire.
Everyone was still shaken by what had just happened, but Ren Yan remained seated in the corner, intently studying the script in his hands, muttering to himself as if reciting lines.
"How could he possibly be connected to those ghostly hands? Besides, I have no grudge against him, why would he want to kill me..."
At this point, Yu Tang paused, and after a moment, his brows furrowed.
He remembered.
In this world, the original owner's first Best Actor title was snatched from Ren Yan.
At the time, both the film starring Ren Yan and the film starring the original owner won awards.
Both of them were nominated for Best Actor. If it weren't for the original owner of the body, the title of Best Actor would definitely have gone to Ren Yan, a veteran actor with deep experience.
But then Yu Tang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, breaking Ren Yan's winning streak as Best Actor, squeezing him out, and becoming the youngest Best Actor in the entertainment industry.
Then, things went from bad to worse. Not only did he face public backlash, but he was also exposed for having an affair behind his wife's back. His wife, along with their child, sued him in court, giving him a serious legal battle.
Although the scandal eventually subsided over time, Ren Yan's career was severely affected.
For example, even if he has acting skills now and wants to make a living as an actor, he can only play villainous roles, and no director will invite him to play the male lead anymore.
The glory days of being a movie star are over; even now, he had to fight tooth and nail to get the chance to play the role of a monarch.
So Yu Tang thought that if Ren Yan had any grudge against him, it would only be this matter.
"What? Did you remember something?" Qin Junyang raised a hand to cover Yu Tang's eyes and said, "But if you remember, why not take a look..."
When he removed his hand again, Yu Tang saw clearly that a cloud of black mist was coiled behind Ren Yan.
Pairs of pale hands reached out from inside, grabbing Ren Yan's clothes, hair, neck, and shoulders, as if they were embracing him.
Yu Tang felt a chill run down his spine. He asked Qin Junyang, "Is this the first kind of ghost you mentioned? If we leave it unchecked, it will continue to harm me, and even more people?"
"right……"
Yu Tang was silent for a moment, then said, "Then you can..."
"I can kill him." Qin Junyang licked his lips, leaned close to Yu Tang's ear, and asked lightly, "Do you want me to kill him?"
"He almost killed you just now, and if we let him continue like this, he'll definitely harm even more people. Don't you want me to kill him to prevent future troubles?"
Yu Tang sensed an aggressive tone in Qin Junyang's words. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "If I tell you to kill him, will you?"
“Yes…” Qin Junyang replied, “Because we are good friends, little Taoist.”
"Little Taoist priest?" Yu Tang grasped the key point in Qin Junyang's words.
She pulled the man to a corner away from everyone's sight, then cornered Qin Junyang against the wall with a slam, and asked him very seriously, "Qin Meimei, why do you call me Little Taoist Priest?"
Qin Junyang was taken aback, not expecting Yu Tang to bring up this topic.
He pointed at Yu Tang's clothes, trying to brush it off: "Aren't you wearing a Taoist robe right now? What's wrong with calling me a little Taoist priest?"
"But you just asked me if we've known each other for a long time, and now you're calling me 'little Taoist priest'..."
Yu Tang frowned, recalling the dream she had before, and asked him, "So I want to know, did you remember what happened before, and then..."
"You've mistaken me for the person you remember?"
Chapter 10
Died for the villain for the ninth time (10)
Qin Junyang lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Tang's face.
Fragmented images involuntarily popped into my mind.
Ever since he escaped the seal and was asleep inside Yu Tang's body, he had a vague feeling that he was waiting for someone.
After leaving, he also developed an inexplicable fondness for Yu Tang.
Looking at Yu Tang in his Taoist robe in the dressing room, he felt an urge to hug the person in front of him.
The other person's carefree manner as he walked between the eaves, holding a wine jug, also deeply impressed him.
It was as if he had seen Yu Tang like this before, and that sense of familiarity moved and puzzled him.
Moreover, when the ghost hand grabbed the man, he felt anger and instinctively acted to protect him.
This made him wonder if he and Yu Tang had known each other for a long time.
He even had a vague suspicion that Yu Tang was the person he had been waiting for, and that he and Yu Tang were like the fish in the pond and the fish in the deep pool in that storybook. One was a Taoist priest, the other a ghost...
So he subconsciously called Yu Tang that name, and now that he was being questioned, he could only purse his lips and say the truth, "Um..."
“I feel that you are very similar to the person I am waiting for, especially when you are wearing this outfit…” Qin Junyang said, “But I don’t see you as him, I feel that you are him.”
He scratched his head, looking troubled: "After all, think about it, how could I possess you?"
This still proves that there must be some kind of connection between you and me...
Upon hearing his words, Yu Tang calmed down.
He got carried away just now and actually got jealous of the original owner of this body.
It's true, he's been influenced by that kid Wei Yuan. Before, it was always the villains who were jealous, but now he's gone down the same path.
“Host, I don’t think you need to pressure him so much.”
Xiao Jin also advised him: "Think about it, how possessive is the Supreme God?"
Even if these ten worlds were created to save you, he wouldn't allow a third party to interfere in your relationship, much less allow himself to fall in love with someone else!
Xiao Jin's words hit the nail on the head, and Yu Tang's mood immediately calmed down.
Moreover, judging from Qin Junyang's appearance, he really wouldn't tell a single lie.
Asking that question brought out her true thoughts, which warmed his heart.
Having figured it out, Yu Tang nodded and said, "Oh, I see."
"I see."
But the next moment, he changed his tone and asked Qin Junyang, "So what do you think our relationship was like before?"
"Huh?" One problem after another, Qin Junyang never expected that Yu Tang would accept his explanation so easily, and even ask him this kind of question in return.
Yu Tang moved closer to him, tapped Qin Junyang's forehead with her finger, and asked again, "I'm asking you, if I really am the person you've been waiting for, what kind of relationship do you think we would have?"
"How could you be sealed away for a thousand years, forgetting everything except me?"
Qin Junyang was stumped by the question.
Staring at the man in front of her, she bit her lower lip several times, then turned her face away and said, "Friends, I guess..."
"The kind of very good friend."
[Host, Qin Junyang's favorability has increased by 20, now it's 30!]
Hearing Xiao Jin's suggestion, Yu Tang felt both happy and helpless.
It seems that his relationship with Qin Junyang cannot be rushed.
Let's take it slow; at least the current momentum is good.
"Waiting for a thousand years for a good friend is quite reasonable."
Yu Tang didn't press him any further. He turned to look at Ren Yan in the distance and brought the topic back on track: "You just said that you would kill him as long as I asked you to, just because we are good friends."
"If I told you I wanted you to save him, would you save him?"
Qin Junyang frowned: "What do you mean? He almost killed you just now, and you actually want to save him? Are you crazy?"
"You said the first kind of ghost was born from the human heart, so the first kind of ghost should also absorb the life force of people, right?"
Yu Tang's gaze fell on Ren Yan's sunken eye sockets and pale lips.
“If we let it go unchecked, even if you don’t kill Ren Yan, he will still get himself killed.”
"Then why don't we change our approach and help him get rid of the evil spirits and get his life back on track? You'll be doing a good deed."
"Why should I do good deeds?" Qin Junyang scoffed. "I'm not a god who needs to undergo tribulation. Doing good deeds won't bring me any good fortune. I'd be a fool to do it."
"Didn't you say I was your friend? Why won't you save people when I ask you to?" Yu Tang tapped his head. "Were you lying to me just now?"
The sudden kidnapping of Tongde left Qin Junyang bewildered, and he quickly retorted, "Who's lying? I would never lie!"
"It's just saving someone, right? Of course I can. But if we really want to save him, we can't rely on me alone; he has to rely on himself too."
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Junyang deliberately kept everyone in suspense, saying, "I'll tell you tonight."
After saying that, he transformed into black mist and entered Yu Tang's body, not forgetting to instruct, "I need to rest for a while now; maintaining my form is too tiring."
"If it weren't to save you, I wouldn't have used so much power. You'd better be careful and stop causing trouble, okay?"
Yu Tang touched his chest and chuckled, "Okay, I got it. You go to sleep now."
Compared to the villains of the previous worlds, this Qin Junyang is actually quite easy to talk to, and his violent nature isn't too strong.
