"You~"

Master Wang stared at Liu Daimei in disbelief. He had never imagined that this seemingly ordinary woman standing before him was actually a ‘Monster.’

"My wish is very simple. I hope you can grant Mei-jie the ability to move about under the sunlight without being harmed. This wish can be granted, right?"

After recalling Old Wang, Gu Sheng had begun making plans. He had no idea when he would encounter the Underworld again, but Liu Daimei’s strength had already reached a considerable level, and sunlight was becoming an increasingly obvious restriction on her. The ability to walk by day could not be delayed.

Once Liu Daimei became a Daywalker, she would be able to transform during the day and display her full strength, allowing her to deal with more complicated situations. That would be an even greater help to Gu Sheng, accomplishing several goals at once. That was why he had chosen to come to Su Residence in search of Old Wang.

"It can be done!"

After pondering for a long while, Master Wang nodded, then continued, "However, let me make this clear first: my divine arts cannot fundamentally change a person.

"After the spell is cast, it won’t make her unafraid of sunlight. Instead, it will use a certain method to shield her from the sunlight. This protection has its limits. Some people with profound cultivation can break through it, so you must be especially careful when fighting others."

Master Wang’s divine arts certainly had their limits. In the original story, he had once promised Wu Xin that he could help fulfill his wish. Wu Xin had then asked him to help him and Yueya get married, but Old Wang had said that was impossible. This showed that the divine arts had restrictions and could not completely change a person.

"Understood. Thank you, Master Wang!"

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded. He also knew that nothing in the world could be perfect. At this stage, as long as Liu Daimei could be shielded from the sunlight, it would be enough. Once she reached a higher star level, perhaps she would be able to become completely immune to it.

Old Wang smiled and said, "Very well. It’s better to act now than wait for an auspicious day. I’ll start preparing the ceremony shortly. Madam, please wait a moment."

"Take care, Chief of Staff Zhang. Take care, Madam. Do you really not need me to send someone to escort you?"

At the entrance of Su Residence, the much better-looking Mr. Su cupped his fists toward Gu Sheng. With Gu Sheng’s intervention, the spell on his body had been dispelled, and he had followed the same path as in the original story, choosing to eat vegetarian food and pray for blessings.

"No need. You’ve just recovered from a serious illness, Mr. Su. You should go back and rest early."

Gu Sheng smiled at Mr. Su, then said to Old Wang behind him, "Master Wang, we agreed that after Mr. Su recovered, you would come stay at my residence for a while."

The situation in Wen County was intricate and confusing, leaving Gu Sheng uneasy. Thus, he had invited Old Wang to take charge at his residence. Old Wang did not particularly want to remain at Su Residence either, so he had agreed. Once Mr. Su’s condition improved and it was certain that he would not damage Old Wang’s cultivation, Old Wang would leave for Zhang Residence.

"Ahahaha~~~"

Old Wang laughed heartily and cupped his fists toward Gu Sheng. "Rest assured, Chief of Staff. Once the head of the household has recovered, I’ll certainly go impose on your residence. I’m only afraid you’ll resent how much I eat!"

"How could I? Zhang Residence may be small, but feeding a few people is still manageable…"

Gu Sheng exchanged a few more pleasantries with Mr. Su and Old Wang, then clasped his hands toward everyone at Su Residence in farewell. "Everyone, farewell for now. Until we meet again!"

With that, he and Liu Daimei walked hand in hand into the street under the watchful eyes of everyone at Su Residence.

"Oh, wonderful! I can bask in the sunlight again."

Walking along the street into the setting sun, Liu Daimei’s changed bearing was obvious, and she looked delighted. The nails on her jade-like hands had become extremely sharp, making them look dangerous, yet they lent her an unusual charm.

"You’re far too bold. Be happy if you want, but don’t you know you shouldn’t laugh with your teeth showing?"

Gu Sheng reached out and pinched the beauty’s cheek. This smug woman had just laughed with her mouth wide open, her pair of superhuman fangs still sticking out. Wasn’t she practically asking for trouble at a time like this?

"Change back quickly!"

Gu Sheng took advantage of the opportunity to give Liu Daimei’s little cheek another pinch. Her skin, untouched by foundation or anything else, felt unbelievably good.

"Stop pinching me. You’ll ruin my face. I really don’t know where you got this habit of pinching people."

Liu Daimei frowned unhappily and slapped Gu Sheng’s large hand away. She was quite dissatisfied with his habit of pinching her face so often.

"Hey~"

Liu Daimei suddenly froze in place. Following her gaze, Gu Sheng saw a refined Gold-Rimmed Glasses Man standing on the street ahead, looking at them with a smile.

"It’s been a long time, Miss Daimei!"

It was Wu You. He naturally walked up in front of Gu Sheng and Liu Daimei, gave a slight bow, then greeted them with a smile.

"Madam, this gentleman is your friend?"

Gu Sheng did not know whether this man had recognized him as a Reincarnator, but he decided to act as if he had not. He also did not know why the man had come looking for Liu Daimei, so he planned to probe him first and see whether he could draw out any information.

"Ah~ Yes! Yes, he’s a friend I knew before, from the bookstore. Mr. Wu."

After hearing Gu Sheng’s response, Liu Daimei was briefly stunned, then quickly reacted. She forced a smile and explained to Gu Sheng, as if the one who had just asked the question were Zhang Xianzong, who knew nothing.

"Mr. Wu, hello. My name is Zhang Xianzong."

Gu Sheng naturally put on a frown, as though he were a husband who did not trust his concubine, yet still forced out a smile and extended his hand to greet Wu You.

"I’m Wu You!"

Wu You smiled and extended his hand. Even while smiling behind his glasses, his eyes narrowed into slits. It had to be said that the eyes of this Two-Faced Wolf were truly not very large.

"I heard that Chief of Staff Zhang is now serving under Commander Gu, and is a major figure in Wen County, second only to one person and above countless others!"

Wu You continued speaking, revealing Jiang Shaofeng’s identity and showing that he had done his homework before coming.

"Not at all. I’m only scraping by. May I ask where you’re working now, Mr. Wu?"

Gu Sheng smiled in response and began chatting with Wu You.

"It’s been a long time since we last met. I wonder if Miss Daimei could reminisce with me in private?"

After exchanging pleasantries with Gu Sheng for a while, Wu You made an excessive request. Asking to reminisce alone with a married woman in front of her husband was clearly no good, no matter how one looked at it.

"That wouldn’t be appropriate, would it?"

Gu Sheng naturally refused. "Daimei is my wife now, and we still have things to do today. We should head home early."

"I think you should ask Daimei what she thinks."

Wu You looked at Liu Daimei with a smile. A cold glint flashed in his narrowed eyes, while his right hand moved inconspicuously into a position convenient for a sneak attack on Gu Sheng. He stared at Liu Daimei, his gaze filled with menace.

"This… all right."

Liu Daimei tapped Gu Sheng’s wrist several times with her jade finger, glanced at Wu You’s right hand as if unintentionally, and slightly furrowed her brows before finally agreeing.

"Daimei!"

Gu Sheng put on a stern expression, seemingly intent on asserting his ownership.

"It’s fine! We’ll just go to the intersection. I’ll be right back!"

Liu Daimei wrapped both arms around Gu Sheng’s neck and kissed him, then pointed toward the empty, spacious intersection ahead as she spoke with a smile.
