Chapter Index

    After the curse was placed on Si Yan, he once again actively dispelled it.

    Sure enough, the Ghost Hand appeared!

    So, very quickly, Si Yan saw the Grievance Spirit Tree and Du Siyu on it.

    Si Yan quietly equipped the Mystic Artist profession and then softly called out Du Siyu’s name.

    Du Siyu heard Si Yan’s voice, turned her head, and saw him.

    What was noticeably different from before was that there was a clear change in her gaze.

    It seemed to…

    Brighten!

    High Charm, it worked!

    But just this wasn’t enough.

    “Si Yu, let me tell you a story~”

    Si Yan slowly began to narrate.

    He told a classic revenge story from before his transmigration, The Count of Monte Cristo.

    Of course, Si Yan greatly condensed the story; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to finish it.

    Under the influence of high Charm, coupled with the bonus from the Ghost Doctor, and the fact that the story Si Yan told was inherently a tale of revenge…

    Sure enough.

    Du Siyu’s interest was slowly piqued!

    Gradually, her gaze was no longer like stagnant water.

    A ripple began to appear within it.

    Si Yan continued to speak.

    In the space of this Grievance Spirit Tree, there was no wind, no other sounds, only Si Yan’s magnetic voice.

    As time passed, Du Siyu was already watching Si Yan with considerable focus.

    Her face, which had been devoid of any expression, also began to show changes in emotion as the story progressed.

    Taking in all her changes, Si Yan continued to speak in his magnetic voice.

    Du Siyu listened with increasing concentration.

    Finally.

    After more than ten minutes, Si Yan finished his story.

    After finishing, Si Yan found that Du Siyu had changed quite a bit.

    He could finally see some emotions in her eyes.

    There were also some expressions on her face.

    Before, to Si Yan, she was like a dull corpse.

    But now, she was as if she had come back to life.

    Of course, she had only just come back to life.

    She had only just gained vitality.

    “Si Yu, revenge is not the whole of life. After revenge, our lives must continue.”

    Si Yan said softly.

    Du Siyu was touched.

    “Alright, perhaps this topic is a bit heavy. I heard you like poetry, so let’s discuss poetry! I wonder if you’ve heard this poem before.”

    Si Yan changed the subject.

    He first used a revenge story to pique her interest, and then proceeded to approach her through her hobbies.

    Du Siyu looked at Si Yan.

    Si Yan cleared his throat, then continued in his captivating voice: “What night is this, what night? I paddle my boat in the middle of the river. What day is this, what day? I get to be with the prince. The mountains have trees, and the trees have branches. My heart loves you, but you do not know!”

    This ancient Yue Ren song, from thousands of years before Si Yan’s transmigration, was recited by Si Yan.

    It echoed in this eerie space.

    Du Siyu was momentarily lost in thought after hearing it just once.

    She did indeed love poetry and had read quite a bit, but she had never heard such a beautiful poem.

    She had already understood that this poem must have been written by a woman, sharing a boat with her beloved, loving him deeply.

    However, the other person was completely unaware.

    She could only express her love through poetry.

    Such a beautiful poem, combined with Si Yan’s voice, had an extraordinary appeal to a teenage girl who was already interested in poetry.

    “【Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing a charming poetry recitation! Reward: 10 Professional Points, 10 Artistic Temperament!】”

    “【Ding! Du Siyu has developed an interest in the Host!】”

    The system’s prompt appeared.

    “Si Yu, do you want to hear more?”

    Si Yan looked at Du Siyu again.

    Du Siyu didn’t respond, but her expression clearly showed…

    She still wanted to!

    So, Si Yan began to recite again.

    “You were born when I was not, I was born when you were old. You regret my late birth, I regret your early birth.”

    “You were born when I was not, I was born when you were old. I regret not being born at the same time, to be with you every day.”

    Soon, this poem, also describing love, and specifically that kind of “unattainable” love, was recited by Si Yan.

    By the time Si Yan finished, Du Siyu was completely entranced.

    For girls in their prime, who are often sentimental, such beautiful and subtly melancholic love poems…

    Are simply irresistible!

    Especially for Du Siyu, a girl who already loved poetry!

    Du Siyu was entranced for a long time; from her demeanor, she seemed to be savoring the artistic conception of the poem.

    After several minutes, Du Siyu looked at Si Yan again.

    Although she didn’t speak, Si Yan clearly saw that there was even more interest in her eyes.

    Evidently, she still wanted to hear more!

    “【Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing a charming poetry recitation! Reward: 10 Professional Points, 10 Artistic Temperament!】”

    “【Ding! Du Siyu has been captivated by the Host’s poetry! Keep up the good work!】”

    The system prompt appeared again; Du Siyu was clearly more interested.

    So, Si Yan indulged her.

    Another beautiful poem from another world once again echoed before the eerie Grievance Spirit Tree.

    “Oh Heaven! I wish to know you, and our lives will never fade. Until mountains have no ridges, rivers run dry, winter thunder rumbles, summer snow falls, and heaven and earth merge, only then will I dare to part from you!”

    This one, unlike the previous two, was a poem where a woman declared her feelings to her beloved.

    From the poem, it was not difficult to see the woman’s steadfastness.

    Unless mountains disappeared, rivers dried up, the sea turned to stone, and heaven and earth merged, only then would she dare to abandon her affection!

    This poem, unlike the melancholy of the previous two, immediately made Du Siyu’s eyes light up slightly.

    The sadness of “seeking but not attaining” touched her heart, and then such a poem suddenly appeared, naturally making her eyes brighten.

    Seeing that just three poems had piqued Du Siyu’s interest so much, Si Yan felt that he might be able to equip the “Ghost Literary Scholar” profession.

    Compared to the Mystic Artist, the Ghost Literary Scholar should be more specialized, but its effect on Du Siyu might not be as good as the Mystic Artist.

    After all, as a Mystic Artist, Si Yan could draw upon poetry from another world.

    In this process, the most important thing…

    Was still the Ghost Doctor!

    Every word, every intonation of Si Yan’s, subtly contained psychological intervention, controlling the rhythm, so that his words could move Du Siyu more.

    Thereby, making her completely withdraw from her state of utter despair.

    And then, by giving her love and hope…

    He could break the deadlock!

    “Si Yu, there’s one more.”

    Si Yan brought out the fourth poem.

    This was also a love poem.

    Hmm, what teenage girls loved most were definitely love poems!

    Once you’ve seen the vast ocean, other waters are no longer water; once you’ve seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are not clouds.

    This poem could be said to be extremely devoted.

    Of course, the person who wrote the poem was actually a scoundrel, writing such deeply affectionate poetry, yet doing things like abandoning his lover for fame and having multiple partners.

    Si Yan naturally wouldn’t tell Du Siyu this.

    As expected, this poem once again moved Du Siyu.

    Du Siyu savored it for a long time.

    Si Yan was about to continue.

    At this moment, Du Siyu seemed to sense something, and her hands moved again.

    Si Yan reappeared in the room.

    He had been sent out again.

    “Was it detected by the Grievance Spirit Tree?”

    Si Yan thought.

    Due to Du Siyu’s deal with the Grievance Spirit Tree, the Grievance Spirit Tree was still under Du Siyu’s control.

    But only when Du Siyu sought revenge.

    The rest of the time, the Grievance Spirit Tree was naturally the main entity.

    Although the Grievance Spirit Tree had no soul or anything similar, it was a ghost tree with its own eerie qualities.

    Si Yan had stayed there for too long, and the Grievance Spirit Tree might have noticed something unusual.

    “I’ll go in again tomorrow.”

    Si Yan made a decision.

    It was good to leave some time for Du Siyu; he couldn’t push her too hard at once.

    “Leaving blank space”!

    It was very important!

    There were still two members of the School Bully Girl Group.

    He still had two chances.

    As for the time he could stay in the instance, the rule was one week.

    Si Yan wasn’t sure if the instance would forcibly send him back.

    He could ask Xia Yuruo for an invitation later!

    So, that day, Si Yan did not go in again.

    At this time, the students Jia Chunsheng sent to help Luo Yinuo also returned.

    With their help, Luo Yinuo had already found her cousin’s remains.

    “Thank you, Si Yan. Since this instance is already under your control, I plan to leave after the game ends. Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble!”

    Luo Yinuo specifically came to thank Si Yan. After speaking, she prepared to leave the room.

    Without danger, she naturally didn’t want to waste items.

    A return ticket required a lot of ghost coins to purchase.

    For her, it was not a small amount.

    “Luo Yinuo, wait a moment!”

    Si Yan suddenly called out to Luo Yinuo.
