Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 684 The charlatan said: You're missing me in your life!
"Ding--"

Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette with a Dupont lighter, took a puff, and then lifted the tightly closed curtains to look outside.

I watched as a few wandering souls silently walked through the rain.

"Wow—"

With a cry of an eagle, Gao Dongxu looked up at the sky outside and gave the eagle spirit, which was circling and spreading its wings, an order for it to rest on the roof of the apartment building and to keep watch.

It's someone else's territory after all. Even if he's highly skilled and daring, you can't let your guard down. You can't be too careful, especially when he's not even human.

A string of lies, a web of schemes, a furtive and secretive nature... When dealing with the supernatural, trust is the last thing you should have.

After finishing his cigarette, Gao Dongxu had a Vajra Knife in his hand. Holding it, he activated his spiritual energy, and a bright golden light shone, illuminating the entire room.

"It's not an illusion—" After putting away the Vajra Axe and confirming that it wasn't some kind of grave or illusion, Gao Dongxu finally felt completely relieved.

"Click——"

The bathroom door opened, and Gao Dongxu looked over to see Xu Qin standing shyly at the doorway, her pretty face flushed, her wet hair disheveled, and her long, white, slender legs looking like a lotus emerging from the water. She seemed unsure of how to hide herself.

The stand-up collar of her white shirt perfectly accentuated her long, graceful swan neck and delicate, charming collarbone. The fabric, wet with water, took on an even more alluring quality.

Her damp hair hung loosely at her temples, and a few drops of water slid down her cheeks, adding to her pitiful charm.

Under the lights, her skin was as white and delicate as a lotus emerging from water, so smooth and flawless. Especially under Gao Dongxu's high-definition gaze, her skin was so white it seemed to glow, so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it, like a flower petal with morning dew, crystal clear.

The oversized white shirt gleamed with a soft sheen, dreamlike and ethereal, perfectly blending youthful innocence with sensuality. Under the light, her slender waist was faintly visible, showcasing her delicate beauty to the fullest, seemingly fragile enough to break with a gentle pinch, yet exuding a resilient strength.

"Ahem..." Gao Dongxu immediately turned his back to Xu Qin, whose pretty face was flushed, head down, and one hand clutching her shirt collar. He coughed twice and said, "Go upstairs and cover yourself with the blanket, don't catch a cold—"

"Mmm. Thank you—" Xu Qin murmured shyly, then tiptoed onto the bed like a rabbit and covered her legs with the blanket.

"Have something to eat and some water—" Gao Dongxu accurately tossed the chocolate and Oreo onto the blanket, then walked to the bedside with a water glass and handed it to her.

"Thank you—" Xu Qin blushed, not daring to meet Gao Dongxu's gaze, and lowered her head slightly as she accepted the water glass.

Gao Dongxu stepped back, pulled over a chair, and sat down to the side. He watched Xu Qin drink half a glass of water sip by sip, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"You don't mind, do you?" Gao Dongxu took out a cigarette and a lighter and asked Xu Qin.

"I don't mind. I feel more at ease if I can smell the smoke right now," Xu Qin said with a wry smile to Gao Dongxu, then reached out, "Give me one too."

Gao Dongxu did not refuse, but got up and stepped forward to hand her one and light it for her.

"Cough cough cough..."

After lighting it, perhaps because she inhaled too quickly, Xu Qin coughed violently from the smoke.

"Slow down—" Gao Dongxu reached out and gently patted her wet back, speaking softly.

Xu Qin blushed and said thank you in a trembling voice. Then, her beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity and expectation as she looked at Gao Dongxu and asked, "Can you tell me now?"

"Ding--"

Gao Dongxu lit a cigarette, looked at Xu Qin, and said seriously, "Are you sure you want to know? Some things, once you know them, you can never regret them."

"I'm sure I won't regret it," Xu Qin said solemnly, taking a drag of her cigarette and coughing twice.

"Okay, then prepare yourself, because what I'm about to say is a secret of this world, known only to a very small number of people, and it will shatter and overturn the worldview you've built up since childhood." Gao Dongxu laid the groundwork first, then looked at Xu Qin, who looked nervous yet expectant, and continued.

"We are now in a mysterious and complex zone, inhabited by either the souls of critically ill patients or the dead who refuse to accept their own death. This zone intersects with both the world of the living and the world of the dead, which is the legendary boundary between Yin and Yang..."

Xu Qin's almond-shaped eyes widened, her face filled with shock and terror. She knew that the place she had entered was unusual, and she had heard various rumors about Tianyou Tower, but she really did not expect that she could break into the Yin-Yang Realm.

Seemingly overwhelmed by the information, Xu Qin accidentally dropped the cigarette from her fingers onto the blanket.

Gao Dongxu quickly got up from his seat, leaned forward, picked up the cigarette, and only a little ash fell on the cup.

"I'm sorry, I..."

"It's nothing." Gao Dongxu sat up straight, stubbed out his cigarette, and looked at Xu Qin with a serious expression. "Do you want to know why you were able to get here?" "Yes—actually, this isn't the first time I've encountered something unusual at Tianyou Tower..." Xu Qin stared intently at Gao Dongxu, nodding hurriedly. She was genuinely curious and apprehensive.

"Because of your special destiny, you were born in a Yin year, Yin month, Yin day, Yin hour, and Yin moment, with all eight characters being Yin. You have an exceptionally strong sense of Yin substances and a strong attraction to them."

"To put it bluntly, with your kind of fate, you're most likely to encounter unclean things. The reason you're here is because of this," Gao Dongxu explained, though his expression was somewhat unnatural, as if he was clearly hiding something and hesitated to speak.

"All Yin in your birth chart?!" This was the first time Xu Qin had heard someone talk about her destiny. She was both curious and apprehensive. She could tell that Gao Dongxu seemed to be hiding something, so she stared intently at him and asked, "Is there a big problem with my birth chart?"

"Pure Yin people are generally very beautiful, have a gentle temperament, are not easily angered or overjoyed, and live very long lives, but they are often sentimental and prone to minor illnesses and misfortunes..." Gao Dongxu continued, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and said with a smile.

Xu Qin's beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked intently at Gao Dongxu, pressing him for an answer: "You didn't finish, did you? Can you tell me the whole story?"

Gao Dongxu looked helpless and sighed, "Alright, I didn't want to tell you too much, but your fate is so unique that I'd better tell you something to prevent you from going to extremes."

As the saying goes, pure yang cannot grow, and pure yin cannot produce life. When yin and yang are in harmony, all things grow. Only when yin and yang are in balance can all things live in harmony.

Whether it's a purely Yin or purely Yang birth chart, it breaks the balance of Yin and Yang attributes, so such a birth chart is generally considered to indicate a life full of hardships.

Especially in matters of the heart, you will face many hardships and setbacks, but because your birth chart is strong enough, you will not harm yourself, your relatives, or your family.

"Loneliness and hardship... It may not harm oneself, but it will bring misfortune to one's relatives and family..."

Xu Qin was completely lost in thought, repeatedly uttering those two sentences.

Gao Dongxu knew that she was now using her own past experiences to corroborate his claim about fate.

Sure enough, not long after, she looked at Gao Dongxu with teary eyes and choked out, "So, it turns out, my parents were cursed to death by me..."

"Ahem, metaphysics is something you either believe in or you don't..." Gao Dongxu said awkwardly, as if trying to comfort her.

"Hehe, we're in the realm of Yin and Yang now, how can you not believe me..." Xu Qin said with a wry smile, while at the same time feeling more goodwill and gratitude towards Gao Dongxu who was comforting her.

"No wonder I... sigh."

Xu Qin thought of her first love, which was ruthlessly stopped by her adoptive parents and ended without a trace, and she sighed again.

“There are no fixed conclusions about things in this world. Nothing is absolutely good or bad. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, a person’s destiny is influenced and changed by many conditions. It is not immutable and can be resolved,” Gao Dongxu comforted him.

"Can this be resolved? What methods are there?" Xu Qin seemed to have completely believed everything Gao Dongxu said.

As expected of someone prone to extremes, Xu Qin now deeply believes in metaphysics.

There's no way she can not believe it. The realm of the living and the dead, and the supernatural, all truly exist. What reason does she have not to believe it?

"This..." Gao Dongxu looked troubled and said to Xu Qin, who was full of expectation, "You can wear some jewelry made of ruby, agate, red crystal, and garnet. Wear more red, silver, and white clothes in the future. Also, get a dog."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Will this resolve my fate?" Xu Qin asked eagerly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Gao Dongxu smiled wryly, "It's not that easy. What I'm talking about requires a long period of influence and change. To truly break free from one's fate, one needs... never mind, I'd better not say it. It's easy to misunderstand if I do."

"Misunderstanding?" Xu Qin frowned slightly, looked at Gao Dongxu who was shaking his head, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "Don't worry, I will never misunderstand. After all, the final choice is still my own."

“Okay, actually I’ve already said it: pure yang cannot grow, pure yin cannot be born. When yin and yang are in harmony, all things grow. Only when yin and yang are in balance can all things be in harmony…” Gao Dongxu said frankly to Xu Qin.

"..." Xu Qin was stunned for a moment, then blushed immediately after a dozen seconds. She lowered her head, bit her red lips, and said in a trembling voice, "Would that really resolve my fate?"

"Of course not. Not just anyone can help you break free from your fate. It requires that the other person can absorb the yin energy in your body and has the ability to inject yang energy into your body, thereby achieving yin-yang balance and breaking free from your fate," Gao Dongxu continued frankly.

"Huh?!" Xu Qin was both embarrassed and surprised; she hadn't expected it to be so complicated.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You should eat something and get some rest. We'll leave here as soon as it gets light," Gao Dongxu said, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation.

Xu Qin blushed, her beautiful eyes gleaming as she secretly glanced at Gao Dongxu. Her heart raced inexplicably. She couldn't help but think that Gao Dongxu might be able to help her resolve her fate. If he really could, then she...

Just then, Gao Dongxu's eyes met Xu Qin's, and an ambiguous atmosphere immediately arose. Xu Qin, extremely shy, quickly lowered her head and began to eat the chocolate in small bites.

Gao Dongxu looked at her blushing and shy appearance and couldn't help but smile smugly.

With the addition of a "marriage potion" and a prince charming-like appearance to save the day, feelings of goodwill, gratitude, and emotion combine, all under an ambiguous atmosphere, and all it takes is a trigger to bring about a happy ending!
