Arc 1.4

She threw what she bought into the space then proceeded to adjust her dress and then fixed her makeup and check herself on her compact make up a mirror she bought then stepped out of the darkness.

" Umm, a system where's the mall's food court". She spoke as it hit her that she doesn't know her way around the mall, well except for clothing stores.

[ I told you to look into it but you said that you can find your way around].

" I thought, I could at least I know where the clothing stores are". She said as she winked at the system.

[ (◔_◔) ].

[it's around the corner, host]. The system sounded in its mechanical voice a little annoyed.

By the system directions, she reached the mall's food court to find various food vendors with a lively vibe with everyone chatting and laughing, then she took her phone and made a call as she observed her surroundings to look for the guys as she made her way to the designated where they were sat.

" Hello, excuse me are you mad dog".she said, while still on the call.

" Y-you're ladyBanshee, I'm sorry but I can't believe that you're here ". He spoke in a suspicious tone but at the same time was shocked.

"Why, is there a problem". She spoke as she raised one of her eyebrows and crossed her arms and tilted her head.

" It's just that y-you're Gu hongi wife ". He spoke hesitantly.

"Ah, that". She exclaimed.

" you don't have to worry about it just treat me like in the game". She spoke as she gestured them to sit down.

After she sat down the atmosphere became awkward and silent instantly like they were working on thin ice then they accidentally made eye contact with ningyan then quickly turned the other way in embarrassment while Li Xian tried to break the ice.

" I'll introduce us, Liu Yi Feng aka mad dog the handsome one with brown hair brown eyes".

"Tang Ziyi and the pretty lady aka Kraken black hair blue eyes that look creepy sometimes especially in the dark.

"And me Li Xian aka lynch the one that looks like he was hand-sculpted by the heavens with blonde hair green eyes".

" Hey, what kind of description was that". Liu Yi Feng spoke in embarrassment as he smacked the back of Li Xian's's head.

" I'm sorry about them Stop it".

" He, he, he " Liu buying giggled

"Well It's my turn I'm Wang ningyan but you can call me buying since I prefer this name better, nice to meet you".she spoke as she shake every one of them

" Nice to meet you too, buying". They responded simultaneously.

" So now that we're done with the introductions, have you guys ordered yet". She asked as she took a look at the menu.

" No, but we were about to before you called".

"Oh, now that I'm here let's order and catch up".

They placed their orders, mad dog ordered french fries, ketch, and soda,

ordered sweet and sour pork with pickled radish with sparkling water,

ordered wonton soup, and bought order grilled mackerel and a salad.

" So I would like to ask some personal questions to know you guys better if it's okay with you guys". She said as they took their food from the waiter and thanked them.

" No problem go ahead".

"Okay, so what do you do for a living, do you have any hobbies, how long have you known each other, and any likes or dislikes".

" Well, I'm an accountant, I like playing games during my free time and I've known Liu Yi Feng for 5 years and Tang Ziyi for 3 years and I dread clown". Li Xian spoke proudly.

" Cool, what about Liu Yi Feng and tang siti".

" I'm a programmer, I like knitting and sewing to unwind and I've known Tang Ziyi since we were kids and Li Xian for 5 years and I hate the sight of blood". Liu Yi Feng said as he shivered.

" I'm a chef, my hobby is rock climbing and I'm allergic to avocado ".Tang Ziyi

"That was unexpected but seriously you guys are awesome". She spoke as she admired them.

"So can we ask you about yourself". They asked about her filled with curiosity and questions.

" Ask away". She said as she permit to ask their questions while she picked her salad.

" So why do you want to join the entertainment industry"?.

"It's been my dream for a long time and I would like to implement it into reality".

" What are your likes and dislike"?.

" I love fashion, tv shows, bl novels, trustworthy people, cartoons, history, money and dislike pineapple, horror movies, dolls, cheaters, arrogant people who don't have the skill to back it up, people who make fake promises, and make themselves the victims even if their not, people who always cry and do nothing to help themselves, lies and most importantly hypocrites.

" That's a lot of dislikes". Liu Jinfeng scratched the back of his head.

" Enough about me let's talk about you guys".

She gestured waving her hands playful as she smiled brightly as they all took turns talking in-depth only to be interrupted by a voice.

" Sister ningyan, what are you doing here". The female lead walked to her and called her name while ningyan turned around.

" Please don't call me that we aren't close". She spoke courteously as she turned around continued her conversation.

" Who is she". Tang Ziyi whispered furiously in her ear.

" Just an acquaintance of my dear Bastar- I mean husband". She spoke back to tang Ziyi in her ear as refrained herself from cursing.

" I know you don't like me but you don't have to mock me, I love Gu hongi too and we have a son together, so please don't hate me ". She spoke pitifully as she almost started crying.

" Where did this drama queen come

from". They all thought at the same time.

" Miss chu yu yan, I don't hate you nor do I have an obligation to like you". She spoke tried to restrain herself then she remembered a figure but couldn't make it out but it brought a strong wave of annoyance into her body almost taking control of her mind.

" What was that". She thought as tried to recover her emotions while cold sweat formed on her face.

[ Host, that was the original owner's feelings towards that person].

" But who is that, I don't remember her from the original memories".

[ Only memories relevant to the plot and the mission are sent, to focus on the mission and most vessels you possess have stronger emotions than normal so some memories hold extremely strong emotions whether negative or positive and even the strongest mentally could get affected by it easily and could go on a rampage so memories are usually filtered to only give those necessary ].

" So you're saying that person isn't relevant and the original owner has such strong emotions, so I have not received any memories of her".

[ That's right, host].

" But I need to have some information on her".

[ I can only tell you what happened since it isn't a part of the mission but you have to figure out who the person is, host].

[ ********, that was someone who constantly tried to one-up the original owner in everything and saw her as a rival, if the original did something she must do better whether it comes to clothes, grades, skills, confessions they always tried to win, they even worsened the original owner relationship with her family and spread rumors about her except they couldn't compete when the original married Guhongii, anyone who had eyes could see he was not someone to mess with so they back off until the female lead showed up all she had to do was sit back and watch Guhongii destroy the original].

[ That why the original had strong such an annoyance and detest for her, so when she died her negative emotions amplified and stayed with her body].

" And she doesn't want revenge, after all, she must be a saint because I've wanted to make them pay but the original doesn't want that".

" But if the original has such strong emotions why doesn't she want revenge".

[ When the soul is extracted their emotions aren't as amplified, so maybe she just wanted to leave a legacy].

" That kinda makes sense".

" Well if it isn't Wang ningyan the wife, oh and even the husband's mistress is here".

" Mistress, I told you said she was your husband's acquaintance". Tang Ziyi spoke in surprise about the new information.

" I kinda altered it a little".

" That was more than altering".

" I'm not a mistress". Chu yuan resorted to saying in anger.

" If you're not a mistress you wouldn't be are following a married man everywhere". He said as Chu yuan shook in anger.

"You aren't even trying to stop her". He said as he pointed towards ningyan.

" Xavier is that the first thing you all say after not seeing you're friend after 2 years".Nyan said as she pouted her mouth.

" Of course, I was worried about my friend who lets everyone treat her like a doormat, now come here and give me a hug". He spoke as opened her arms and went in for a hug.

" I missed you". Xiuying said in a delighted tone.

" I missed you too". Xavier said back

" So how's that bastard husband of yours". He said the deadly smile on his face.

" How would I know, I wouldn't care if he was dead or alive". She said leisurely.

" Oh, my friend has finally grown a backbone". He said as he wiped his fake tears.

" Who are they". He asked as looked at people at our back while titled his head.

" These are my friends, this is Li Xian, Liu Yi Feng, and tang Ziyi".

" Hello". They all said hello and introduced themselves

" You made friends aside from me, I'm

Xavier, nice to meet you thank you for being her friend although she's not perfect, I hope you take good care of her".

" let's go I'll treat you to lunch".

" Why are acting like my parent". She spoke as she covered her face in embarrassment.

" It's just I'm happy for you even when we were in school, apart from me you didn't have friends so this is a step forward, and who would if not me".

" Are you ignoring me". The female lead mumbled in anger.

" Thank you for always being my friend".

" I mean you, would do the same for me".

" Stop ignoring me" the female screamed as everyone turned their head towards her.

" What's her problem".

" I think she has a few screws loose".

" System, why does the female lead look like she blew a fuse".

[ She seems like an attention seeker that didn't get the attention, she wanted].

" Why are you ignoring me, I thought we were friends I even paid for your meals and you won't even glance my way".she said looking pitiful.

" So treated her friends to a free meal and got ignored".

" Shame on them".

" What a pitiful girl to be treated as such".

" She so sweet to call them her friends". They said while Li Xian intervened as buying tried to talk.

"Miss chu yu yan, me and my friends came to eat and have a discussion but you rudely interrupted us and made my friend uncomfortable even after she told you that she wasn't close to you and for the meals, we can ask the cashier if our food has been paid for".

" I-i m-mean I was about to go pay". She spoke panicking trying to justify her actions.

" So she was lying". a bystander spoke while others recorded the situation on their phones.

"Let's go". Nyan said to her friends only for the female lead to say something stupid.

" If you hadn't stolen my husband and son's father from me, I wouldn't resort to this. She said crying on the floor while Xavier wanted to intervene but was blocked.

" So it's like that".

" This development".

" So she's a mistress," they said and pointed at ningyan.

" Miss chu yu yan, you are the most stupid person I have seen, aren't you entering the entertainment industry soon, this will have a stain on you're career if the truth is found out later, you know why later let's do it now".

" You called me the mistress when I'm the wife and I can prove it what about you leading on a married man and agreeing to live in his house when he has a wife, what else can I call you but shameless ".

" But I only did that for my son, you can't separate a father and son, I had him before you got into the picture and ruined it plus you don't love each other".

" You're right but you're not the only one in this situation, but others try to keep their distance but you not so much are you saying, you haven't slept with him".

"....". She stayed in silence.

" Does she think that I can't hear those noises from my room"? Nyan thought to the system.

"And you're right I don't love him not anymore, I must be crazy to love him, after all, that and you must be delusional if it was true why did you run away and come back 5-6 years later, if you had come earlier maybe you two would've been married or were you afraid if you didn't have a stepping stone, he wouldn't have cared about you, I advise you to stay away from me or you'll regret it ". She said, as she looked down on Chu Yuyan and turned.

"I-i understand". Chu yuan spoke as she put her head down and gritted her teeth.

"So that was the case, mistress trying to blame the wife". Someone said as they streamed it live on the web.

" Let's go". She spoke as Xavier give her two thumbs up they left the mall and parted ways, ningyan drove to her newly bought apartment to stay instead of the Gu mansion.
