Chapter 867: Scam Artists are Not Cute! (end)
After Xia Ling left the music scene, he didn’t completely vanish from the public eye.
In fact, he hit the trending searches regularly.
The reason was simple.
Shi Sheng was causing chaos.
When bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can choke you. Shi Sheng’s bad luck was off the charts—five stars. She could run into a criminal case just by going out for a meal or a walk.
Most of these cases were minor, but a few were serious crimes.
The police were now terrified of Shi Sheng. Just hearing her name made them instinctively cover their ears.
Meeting her meant trouble.
Captain Hong had almost become Shi Sheng’s personal supervisor. He stared at the shattered glass on the ground for a long time before looking at the carefree girl standing by the counter.
“What happened this time?” Captain Hong was now too worn out to be angry. This girl looked innocent enough, but she radiated a sinister energy.
And she had a mouth that could jinx anything—what she predicted would always happen.
If criminals ran into her, being caught was the best outcome. Sometimes, old cases from ten years ago would resurface because of her, skyrocketing the police department’s case-solving rate.
“Robbery.” Shi Sheng motioned with her chin.
‘How could I not know it’s a robbery?’
“I meant, what are you doing here?”
“Buying a ring, obviously.” Shi Sheng rolled her eyes. “Did you think I was helping them rob the place?”
Captain Hong: “…”
‘I’m telling you, keep talking like that and you’ll get yourself arrested!’
“Are you two getting married?” Captain Hong glanced at the man standing beside her. ‘This man…’
He was another oddball who had thrown away a promising future to hang around with this girl, causing trouble all over town.
Shi Sheng beamed. “Captain Hong, would you like to attend our wedding?”
Captain Hong shivered at the thought of their wedding and quickly declined. “I’m very busy.”
‘No way am I going to clean up their mess.’
Thanks to their familiarity, Shi Sheng and Xia Ling were quickly released while Captain Hong went to interrogate the robbers.
“This is all your fault.” As soon as they left the crime scene, Shi Sheng grumbled to Xia Ling. “What a lousy place you chose. Drama follows you everywhere.”
Xia Ling pressed down on Shi Sheng’s head. “Who was it that mouthed off and provoked the robbers?”
‘This pot, I’m not willing to shoulder![1]‘
“He tried to touch you!” Shi Sheng fumed. “I don’t let anyone touch you, and he had the nerve to try. So what if I gave him a piece of my mind?”
‘Freakin’ robbers weren’t serious about their job and even tried to grope my man. Were they trying to put on a comedy show?’
‘Serves them right.’
Xia Ling winked playfully at Shi Sheng. “I’ll let you touch me all you want when we get home.”
“Really?”
Lately, he had been so prideful, not letting her touch him, let alone sleep with him. He claimed he was preserving his body.
‘Preserving my ass!’
‘It’s not like you freaking gave birth!’
‘Going to anger me(bbb) to death.’
“Really,” Xia Ling nodded.
Shi Sheng pulled out her phone, opened the recording app, and held it up to Xia Ling. “Say it again.”
Xia Ling: “…”
‘Does she trust me this little?’
Xia Ling looked at her helplessly. “When we get home, I’ll let Xiao’guai touch me all you want.”
“Ah!”
No sooner had Xia Ling spoken than a scream erupted nearby. The high-pitched sound startled Shi Sheng so much she nearly dropped her phone.
“It’s Xia Ling, it’s Xia Ling…”
“Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m seeing the real Xia Ling!”
Excited voices of fans surged around them, drawing more people their way.
The area was already crowded and now even more people were closing in, forcing Shi Sheng and Xia Ling back into the crime scene.
“Why are you coming back?” Captain Hong emerged upon hearing the commotion, his face darkening at the sight of the disaster magnet Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng put on a woeful expression. “I’m too beautiful to ignore. Captain Hong, could you have a patrol car clear the way for us?”
Captain Hong: “…” ‘Does she think I’m deaf?’
‘They’re calling out your partner’s name, not yours. What a freakin’ narcissist!’
“Wait here and don’t cause any more trouble!” Captain Hong warned Shi Sheng.
Meanwhile, on Weibo, things were blowing up.

#Xia Ling, the magnet for misfortune#
As Captain Hong had predicted, Shi Sheng and Xia Ling’s wedding wasn’t smooth sailing—it was a series of mishaps.
First, the car convoy hit a traffic jam, delaying everything. Then the wedding officiant had a sudden issue, requiring a last-minute replacement. Midway through the ceremony, the power went out…
One unexpected problem after another.
Shi Sheng was so furious she nearly eloped with the groom.
Online, people commented on the turbulent wedding:
“Serves you right!”
“That’s what you get for flaunting your love and causing trouble all the time!”
“That’s karma for you!”
The black humor of the situation had trolls laughing for a year. No one had ever seen a wedding go so disastrously.
Meanwhile, her master had finished dealing with Elder Yan’s matter. Elder Yan eventually died, and it was somehow connected to someone he loved in his youth.
Elder Yan had willingly accepted his fate in the end.
Her master attended her wedding before returning to the mountain.
Suspicious of his disciple’s sudden transformation, her master called Shi Sheng back to the mountain for various tests.
Besides her drastic change in personality, all other examinations showed no significant differences.
Shi Sheng caused a ruckus on the mountain for a while, making such a mess that her master eventually kicked her out.
Xia Ling lived a long life this time, passing away peacefully of old age.
After arranging Xia Ling’s funeral, Shi Sheng returned to the system space.
Back in the space, Shi Sheng sat down on the floor, staring blankly into space, lost in thought.
【Host… how long do you plan to rest?】
“What’s it to you?” Shi Sheng snapped. “Do you need to monitor how long I rest now?”
【…】'I'm scared ah!'
“Why hasn’t your master returned?” Shi Sheng glanced at the screen. “Is he even capable?”
‘Even if he couldn’t reconnect the passage, he should’ve at least sent a message by now.’
【…】'You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?'
The system begrudgingly pulled up her stats.
Name: Shi Sheng
Morality Points: -292000
Life Points: 40
Points: 50000
Mission Level: B
Mission Rating: 85
Hidden Mission: Incomplete
Hidden Mission Penalty: 3000 points deducted
Inventory: ‘Queen’s Crown’, ‘Heart of the Ghost King’, ‘Dark Night’, ‘Qilin Blood’
‘What the fuck?!’
‘Completing the hidden mission only gives 2000 points, but it deducted 3000?’
【…】‘I’m just being capricious!’
Given the situation, the system was embracing a “whatever happens, happens” mentality. If it was going down, it might as well go down fighting.
Shi Sheng clenched her teeth and pulled out her sword to strike the screen. However, the screen vanished before the iron blade could touch it.
‘My system’s getting cheeky, freakin’ learning to fight back.’
Now, the system was resolved to stand its ground. Even if its master wasn’t around, it would still be an upright system, unafraid of the host.
The twenty-fifth realm concluded.
[1] – This just means that he’s not willing to take the blame.
Shi Sheng: System, you’re getting bold. Who’s backing you?
Little Fairy: What’s it got to do with me? (utterly confused)
Shi Sheng: If you didn’t back it, how dare it defy me?
Little Fairy: …Maybe the system’s malfunctioning? Needs fixing?
