I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 88
After quickly finishing lunch, Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng successfully entered the Communications University campus under Liang You’s arrangement.
Honestly, the access control at the entrance was not very effective, as the campus cards did not have the holder’s photo. Anyone who knew a student at the Communications University could essentially sneak in.
Of course, the premise for sneaking in was that you looked like a university student; if you were obviously overage, the security guard’s eyes were not merely for decoration.
“Ahhh, did you guys see him? That’s my male idol, Xiao Song!” Liang You tried hard to control her voice, preventing herself from screaming out loud. “My goddess Manman is also here this episode! Woo woo woo, coming here this time was totally worth it!”
Wen Yunqing was not particularly impressed by celebrities. In her view, they were simply people with slightly superior looks and fashionable clothes. However, this was the Communications University, where natural beauties were easily found in abundance. In direct comparison, these celebrities seemed to be just average.
“Which one among them do you prefer?” Wen Yunqing asked, looking down.
Wen Yimeng thought for a moment. “Actually, I’m just a casual fan. As long as they look decent and their public persona doesn’t collapse, I’m willing to follow them… If I really had to choose, Manman is pretty good.”
Truly, Wen Yimeng wasn’t the type of person who liked to chase celebrities; she merely appreciated the public personas created by certain stars and came along just for the excitement.
“Then let’s change positions. The Manman you like is on the other side,” after greeting Liang You, Wen Yunqing took Wen Yimeng’s hand and led her along a roundabout path to a less-crowded viewing area.
Wen Yimeng was slightly puzzled. “Why come here? Although the view is good, the distance is too far. I can barely see…”
Before Wen Yimeng could finish her sentence, a white light flashed across her vision, and then her eyes widened—yes, in the physical sense of the word. She realized she could now clearly see Manman’s every movement.
“W-what is going on?” Wen Yimeng couldn’t help but rub her eyes, wanting to confirm if she had experienced some sort of illusion just now.
“It’s simple. I shared a portion of my perceptive ability with you. If you wish, you can clearly see anything in your field of vision,” Wen Yunqing said calmly.
It was fortunate that she had already nourished Yimeng’s body many times before, so this sharing of ability went smoothly, with virtually no rejection.
“Your perceptive ability?” Wen Yimeng examined the surroundings curiously, as if she had discovered a new world. “Yunqing, are you always like this? Can you always see so many things?”
“Hmm, normally I keep it retracted, only using it when necessary,” Wen Yunqing said. After all, sensing also requires spiritual power, and she wasn’t so wasteful as to maintain a perception range of several hundred meters continuously.
Wen Yimeng nodded, then stared intently at Wen Yunqing’s face. The already clear face was magnified several times over. Yet, even with this magnification, Wen Yimeng could not find any flaw on her girlfriend’s face. It still looked fair and smooth, becoming more appealing the longer she looked.
She’s already mine, Wen Yimeng was not shy. She leaned in directly and smooched her, kissing her cheek with a light pop.
Wen Yunqing looked at Wen Yimeng with some surprise. Wasn’t she supposed to be watching celebrities film the show? How did it turn into kissing her instead?
Relying on her newly magnified perception, Wen Yimeng very clearly saw the mark she had left on Wen Yunqing’s cheek. She then quietly took a wet wipe from her small bag and proactively wiped it clean.
“Is there something growing on my face?” Wen Yunqing held her wrist. “Or do you think my face smells bad?”
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to wipe it,” Wen Yimeng said calmly. Before, she couldn’t see it, so it didn’t matter, but she had genuinely just seen the saliva she left behind after kissing! Although it was very little, having seen it, she couldn’t stand it!
After adapting to this new ability, Wen Yimeng began to focus on the filming location.
Compared to the already edited final product, the live filming process seemed much longer. The participants were not constantly facing the camera, and when they could slack off, they looked no different from ordinary people.
For instance, right now, Wen Yimeng could clearly see that after Manman finished her segment, she stood to the side and took out her phone to play with it.
A moment later, she put her phone away and interacted with the fans who were waving frantically nearby, cooperatively taking photos and signing autographs.
Ooh! Liang You was very lucky. Manman’s resting spot was close to her, and she successfully got a photo and a real signature.
As she watched, Wen Yimeng suddenly frowned, shifting her gaze from the celebrity to a cameraman responsible for a fixed-position camera. With her enhanced perception, Wen Yimeng clearly saw the bulging veins on the cameraman’s neck and his abnormally pale face.
“Yunqing, is that person not well?” Wen Yimeng tugged at Wen Yunqing’s hand, pointing in the cameraman’s direction.
Wen Yunqing put away her phone and looked in the direction Wen Yimeng pointed. She saw not only the prominent blood vessels but also a mass of black energy clinging to the cameraman’s back.
“There is something clinging to him,” Wen Yunqing said. “It looks somewhat like a Vengeful Spirit (Yuanling).”
“A Vengeful Spirit?” Wen Yimeng paused. “Does that mean a ghost is following him?”
Wen Yunqing nodded. “You can understand it that way. A Vengeful Spirit can be regarded as a ghost carrying resentment.”
A hint of worry showed in Wen Yimeng’s eyes. “That cameraman doesn’t look like he’s doing well. Should we help him?”
Wen Yunqing did not nod. Instead, she turned her head to face Wen Yimeng. “The reason a ghost with resentment becomes a Vengeful Spirit is often because they suffered inhuman torture when they died; they died carrying reluctance and hatred. Generally speaking, if someone is entangled by a Vengeful Spirit, cultivators rarely intervene.”
“Why?” Wen Yimeng did not understand. Shouldn’t cultivators eliminate demons and vanquish evil?
“Because every injustice has its source, and every debt has its debtor (Yuan you tou, zhai you zhu). Vengeful Spirits only retaliate against and can only possess the person who murdered them,” Wen Yunqing explained. “This is a private feud, so we generally don’t interfere.”
“What about unusual circumstances, then?” Wen Yimeng felt her worldview was being refreshed again.
“Unusual circumstances, I suppose, would be when the person entangled by the wronged soul is very wealthy, and they use sufficient money to move those so-called ‘Masters,'” Wen Yunqing said, giving a small smile. “After all, ‘money makes the mare go’ (You qian neng shi gui tui mo – Money makes the ghost turn the millstone), that saying is not without reason.”
“Alright, I just took a look, and there is a causal link between the Vengeful Spirit and this cameraman. The cameraman is not an innocent person,” considering her girlfriend’s nature, Wen Yunqing elaborated further. “If the Vengeful Spirit goes too far in its revenge, she will also face punishment. This is the unspoken rule of Karma (Yinguo).”
Wen Yimeng nodded. Before she could speak, she noticed the filming area burst into commotion. Someone was shouting loudly for an ambulance.
The person in trouble was not the cameraman, but the male idol Xiao Song, the one Liang You had mentioned.
