602: Ye Tian Internet System

The rain in the Southern Border was very cold.

After entering winter, it was like twisted strange insects, carrying invisible cold bodies, madly drilling towards people's flesh, blood, and bone marrow.

In this continuous overcast rain, under the dim and cold sky, only on the streets made of bluestone pavement were there some figures wearing coarse thick clothes.

"Yi ya ah ya~~"

In the inn, the opera singer took over from the storyteller and performed for the audience below the stage.

From time to time, there were one or two cheers.

The tips thrown up from the audience made the opera singer raise their voice even higher and perform with more effort.

The audience listened to the melodious opera, utterly captivated.

However, in a side seat, a young man found it somewhat grating and uncomfortable to listen to.

The young man wore a white shirt made of fine silk, with a thick brocade coat over it. On the table next to him was a white mink hat, which he couldn't wear because the room was warm.

What truly attracted the attention of the people around was the dark green jade pendant on the young man's waist.

This was a jade pendant that only direct descendants of the Ning family were qualified to wear!

Among the four great families in Five Directions City, the Ning family was prominently listed.

"Master, should we get a private room? It would be quieter." The maidservant next to him seemed to notice the young man's discomfort and asked in a low voice.

"Cough, cough~" The young man coughed twice, his lips pale, and waved his hand: "No need. There are many people here... it feels safer."

After speaking, the young man looked at the opera singer on the distant stage, his expression still somewhat dazed.

His name was Ning Buxiu.

Because a woman jumped into the river before him, he reluctantly saved her but drowned himself afterward.

He had thought this life would end like that...

But he didn't expect, he transmigrated!

When he transmigrated a few days ago, Ning Buxiu hadn't reacted yet and caused many mix-ups.

And in the process of adapting over these days, he finally accepted the fact that he had transmigrated.

Upon understanding, he was still the son of the head of a large Family in a small city, a genuine rich second generation!

In this life, he had Family, wealth, and apart from his slightly weak physique, there was basically nothing bad!

Just as Ning Buxiu was feeling excited and imagining the wonderful life of this generation, he discovered something that made his hands and feet turn cold.

Five Directions City, the four great families.

Among them was a Family called the Zhou family, and the eldest Young Master in the Zhou family was called Zhou Wuji.

Five Directions City, the four great families, the Zhou family, Zhou Wuji?!

These words exploded in Ning Buxiu's mind, like an avalanche, bringing him an increasingly terrifying fact.

He had transmigrated into a book he had written himself back then?!

What made Ning Buxiu uneasy was that the World he described in his book was very dangerous, extremely dangerous!

Demons, Ghosts, mountain spirits, and specters emerged endlessly!

Of course, if it were really like this, he could still survive by being cautious to the extreme.

But the problem was, his current identity was the eldest Young Master of the Ning family!

This was the villain in the original work, the 'novice village' villain who was mercilessly abused by the protagonist in the early stages!

Later, in order to fight against the protagonist, he even agreed to merge with a Demon, turning into an ugly abomination that was neither human nor Ghost!

If the timeline was correct, the Wanhua Brothel would soon send an invitation, inviting him and the talented young men from the other three aristocratic families in Five Directions City to go to the Wanhua Brothel together tonight to discuss poetry and participate in a poetry gathering.

The Wanhua Brothel could be said to be the highest-class pleasure house in Five Directions City.

It didn't do flesh trade business.

Writing poetry, composing verses, and engaging in refined exchanges while listening to music from the pleasure quarters, money would flow out like water.

Precisely because of the Wanhua Brothel's money-making ability, in terms of reputation and influence, it was second only to the County Office, and not much different from the four great families.

Originally, it was unlikely for the Wanhua Brothel to invite their four great families by letter to attend any poetry gathering.

The reason for this was that several sons of officials, noble youths, and Misses who were traveling had arrived.

Although many years had passed, this book was, after all, written by Ning Buxiu himself.

He still remembered the content clearly.

At this poetry gathering tonight, the protagonist Zhou Wuji would copy poems from his World, greatly showcasing his talent, and even gain the admiration of a certain Miss from a prominent Family.

Later, he would even be given a martial arts Secret Manual that ordinary people couldn't access at all, and that was extremely difficult for families like theirs to access!

Copying poems.

That's right, in Ning Buxiu's book, the protagonist he created was a transmigrator!

However.

Due to the internet environment at that time, even when he wrote about a transmigrator, he only wrote that this protagonist was a transmigrator who had traveled from ancient times.

In fact, the protagonist himself was also an ancient person, but an ancient person from the era of Li Bai and Du Fu.

Precisely because the protagonist Zhou Wuji stole the show at the poetry gathering, the direct descendants of the other three great families all became jealous, and this included the original Host body.

The original Host's actions were quite severe; he sneered at the protagonist with cold eyes at the poetry gathering and was later slapped several times by the protagonist.

When he wrote up to this point, the readers of the book all cheered loudly and felt satisfied, and Ning Buxiu himself felt very satisfied writing it.

But now, the one who was going to be slapped was him!

After Zhou Wuji recited those eternal famous lines later, this villain of his became even more of a Clown.

After the poetry gathering ended tonight, according to the plot's influence, the original Host would encounter a Demon at home!

It was also because of psychologically twisted jealousy, coupled with the stimulation of those few slaps, and the Demon's temptation, that the subsequent development was not difficult to predict.

The original Host agreed to merge with the Demon, becoming something neither human nor Ghost!

From then on, he officially became the villain!

Thinking of all the things that would happen afterward, Ning Buxiu still felt a chill in his body even while holding the hot tea steaming on the table.

At the poetry gathering, he could choose not to act or mock.

But encountering a Demon at night was something he couldn't avoid at all!

And after the Demon appeared, the so-called Fusion, the so-called discussion, were actually just deceptive words.

In the end, the eldest Young Master of the Ning family in the original work was still completely gnawed and devoured by the Demon, bite by bite!

Ning Buxiu had also thought about saying those eternal famous lines before Zhou Wuji at the poetry gathering, thereby gaining the favor of those sons of officials and noble youths.

But this was simply not feasible!

If he were to say those poems, it would be equivalent to directly exposing his certain degree of similarity with Zhou Wuji in front of him.

Although he was a villain and was destined to clash with the protagonist, letting the other party target him now would undoubtedly increase the danger!

Once the protagonist's Golden Finger was activated, the first person he would definitely resolve would be him!

To take a step back, even without considering Zhou Wuji's situation, could his recitation of those poems really make those sons of officials and noble youths around him care?

Alright, let's take another step back. Even if those sons of officials and noble youths truly valued talent and cared about him.

It would have no effect at all!

Demons... were above officials, and even above the imperial court!

The imperial court protecting the world was just an illusion.

The truth was, it was helping Demons raise livestock!

Humans were livestock!

This was a dead end. Even though Ning Buxiu knew everything, he still couldn't find a way to survive!

The only possibility Ning Buxiu could think of was to leave the city, escape, right now, immediately, at once!

But outside Five Directions City, for 90% of ordinary people, it was a forbidden zone!

A grave every two li, a demon forest every five li, a Ghost village every ten li!

"Could it be that I just got a new life, only to lose it again?" Ning Buxiu felt a bit desperate. He really couldn't think of any possibility of survival.

Who would have thought that the book he wrote back then would force him, the author, to his death.

"Ding~ Ye Tian Brand Internet System has been activated. Host, do you wish to bind?"
