In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

The weight loss project hasn't made any major progress, as the client's involvement has slowed things down considerably. However, a closer comparison with before reveals differences. For instance, her complexion is much better than before.

I've lost quite a bit of weight, but because I was already quite large to begin with, it's not very noticeable in my appearance.

Perhaps because A-Zhen is with him, the client is no longer reluctant to go for walks outside.

At first, she would avoid certain people, but she gradually got used to it. With Azhen talking to her, she slowly stopped caring so much. She then realized that under normal circumstances, people wouldn't comment much on her appearance, or even pay much attention to it.

The client, who originally preferred strong flavors, also got used to the weight-loss meals prepared by A-Lan. Actually, A-Lan's approach was quite ordinary; she herself was fine with whatever she did, but since the client was involved, she wanted to do everything perfectly and created a lifestyle-based weight-loss plan for them.

Whenever she didn't need to use her body for anything, A-Zhuang would make her clients return to their bodies to starve and experience the feeling of being ravenously hungry. 997 couldn't help but shake his head at this; if he didn't know that his host was genuinely kind, he probably would have misunderstood that she was simply torturing her clients.

Of course, he understood that this was to involve the client as much as possible, so that she could form a bond with her soul and thus change its image.

It's worth mentioning that the guild leader, Nangong Pochen, logged into the game once before and, upon learning of the trouble A-Lan had encountered, helped check the login IP with A-Lan's permission, completely confirming that the person who logged in earlier was not A-Lan. Even though everyone believed that A-Lan wasn't behind it, Nangong Pochen still explained the situation to the public.

But he seemed to be a very busy person; after dealing with this matter, he went back to his current work.

Nangong Pochen seemed to know the client, but the client was unaware of Nangong Pochen's real identity. Apart from this game, the two had no interaction.

At 5 p.m., after dinner and a walk, Azhen once again took control of her body and did some brief work.

Since the client's wish has nothing to do with work, and the person who will live here for the rest of their life is Azhen, these things outside of the task are just things she arranges at will.

A-Zhu is quite satisfied with this relatively free job as an artist.

However, her style is quite different from the client's, but that's not a problem; she can gradually adapt her style to her own.

The person who recently contacted her is from the game "Qingmenggu". The game is planning to open a new map, and knowing her skills, they want her to draw some scenes.

A-Lan naturally wouldn't refuse, and was currently communicating with the other party. Based on the other party's ideas and her own, A-Lan had a clear understanding. The two sides talked for two hours, and in the end, both were satisfied, and the matter was settled.

After finishing her work, Azhen picked up her phone and discovered that Shennong had sent her a private message half an hour earlier, asking if she wanted to log into the game.

When she didn't reply, the other party asked if she was busy, and then didn't send any more messages.

Now that she had a moment to spare, A-Zhou replied: "I was busy with work before, but I'll be online right away. Want to play again?"
Shennong immediately replied: Play, I've been waiting for you.

Azhen completely ignored the slight ambiguity in those words, went online to form a team for a mission, and didn't interact much with Shennong during the mission, maintaining a completely aloof demeanor.

She was actually curious to see what action the other party would take if the outcome didn't meet Shennong's expectations. Since the other party didn't act, she really couldn't do anything without a reason.

In the blink of an eye, it's almost ten o'clock again, which is the time A-Zhuang has been logging off the game lately.

As usual, Azhen said, "Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow."

Shennong, however, did not agree as usual. Instead, he remained silent for a while before responding: "Can we talk?"

Qianruo: What are you talking about?
Azhen knew that sending this message would leave the recipient speechless, no matter who it was—it was too blunt.

However, this is the outcome when the wrong person isn't the right one. She had even less interest in having any entanglement with someone like Shennong; teaming up with him for missions was merely a way to wait for him to make his move.

She could sense Shennong's growing impatience, and at this point, she could confirm that Shennong was not sincere towards the client. She didn't know if he liked her or not, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that he didn't like her much.

His approach to the client was more about his own ulterior motives and purposes.

Shennong: I just wanted to ask, what do you think of me?
Qianruo: It's good.

Shennong: Is it possible for us to become a couple? Since we met at the beginning of this game, I have never thought about finding someone else to become a couple with.

Qianruo: I don't have that idea right now, sorry.

Shennong: Sigh, alright, if you have such an idea, can you give me priority?

Qianruo: That's hard to guarantee.

Shennong: As expected of a cold and aloof goddess. Oh well, I knew this would happen anyway. It's good that we can still have some fun together, at least you haven't formed a romantic relationship with anyone else. Qianruo, goodnight.

This passage fully expresses Shennong's sense of loss.

If it were a different setting or a different person, one might actually feel a bit sorry for him.

Unfortunately, the person he was facing was Azhen, who would definitely not be reluctant in such a matter.

"Aren't you afraid that he might actually give up and stop targeting you?" 997 couldn't help but ask.

Azhen: [Do you think that's possible?]

Now that things have come to this point, would Shennong be content with that? Obviously not.

Even if he can't do anything to her right now, and can't get anything from her, he will definitely do it if he has the chance to expose the photos.

However, due to her attitude, the timing of many things may change, possibly moving earlier or later.

Azhen wasn't the client, so she wasn't afraid of facing the outside world, much less of those strange looks. Whether the time was brought forward or postponed wouldn't affect her much; none of the people who harmed the client would escape.

She didn't lie to anyone, and no matter how unattractive she is, that's no reason for her to be ridiculed, personally attacked, or cyberbullied.

After logging off the game, Azhen went to sleep. It was rare for her to have such a good sleep schedule in the mission world.

997, upon hearing her thoughts: ...

Since that conversation, Shennong and Azhen have maintained a certain distance when they interact, and there's a noticeable lack of the deliberate flirtation they used to have. However, he still enjoys taking Azhen on missions with him. Occasionally, when other members of the guild go on missions, Azhen will try to include them as well.

That day, Shennong was unusually offline, so Azhen and the guild members went on a mission. One of them was the vice guild leader, whose name was also very familiar: Baobao Xiaoxiong. There was also the guild elder, Lao Wuyou, who didn't get along with the client; they were the kind of people who couldn't see eye to eye.

During the mission, Little Bear couldn't help but chat with Azhen. (End of Chapter)
