Chapter 545：The Lonely Top Student 8

At this moment, Little Cutie suddenly said, “Host, don’t worry. Did you forget you still have a bottle of soul repair fluid you haven’t used?”

“Huh?” Tang Wan looked at it.

She did remember it—it was a reward from her very first mission. But after so many worlds, she’d never had a chance to use it.

“The essence of soul repair fluid is to restore and strengthen the soul,” Little Cutie explained. “The villain’s soul isn’t damaged, so giving it to him will mainly strengthen it.”

Tang Wan’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

If that was the case, once Jiao Tong’s soul became stronger than the evil spirit’s, he could suppress it completely.

“Exactly. But be careful,” Little Cutie added. “The evil spirit is also inside him. If you don’t time it right, it might absorb the fluid too. That would backfire.”

“That’s easy,” Tang Wan said confidently. “I’ll give it to him at noon, when the sun is strongest. The evil spirit won’t be able to take advantage then.”

This time, she wouldn’t let Jiao Tong walk toward that tragic ending again.

That disgusting spirit? It could wait to be crushed.

The next day, Tang Wan deliberately timed her exit to “coincidentally” meet Jiao Tong downstairs.

After a night of struggle, his face looked pale, his already melancholic expression even heavier.

Tang Wan felt a flicker of heartache, but still greeted him brightly, “Tong Tong, good morning!”

Jiao Tong paused slightly, then nodded. “Morning.”

Inwardly, he was puzzled. Wasn’t Tang Wan supposed to be withdrawn and eccentric? Why was she acting so familiar after only meeting him twice—and even calling him ‘Tong Tong’?

“Are you taking the bus to school?” Tang Wan asked.

“Yeah.” He gave a faint response, glancing at her bright smile.

Just as he was about to leave, Tang Wan added, “Tong Tong, want to go together? I have a bicycle. You can ride, I’ll sit in the back.”

Jiao Tong narrowed his eyes slightly. “No need.”

Does this girl have a problem? We’re not even close.

Tang Wan didn’t look embarrassed at all after being rejected. She simply kept smiling.

Then she lowered her voice and said, “Tong Tong, you’d better come with me. Otherwise… the thing inside you might come out again.”

Jiao Tong’s expression instantly changed. The melancholy vanished, replaced by sharp vigilance.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“How could you not?” Tang Wan leaned closer and whispered mysteriously, “I’m a celestial master. I can see the hidden evil spirit inside your body.”

A flicker of shock crossed Jiao Tong’s eyes.

A celestial master?

How could she possibly be one?

Chapter 1: Got Dumped on the Day of the Wedding

 Translator's Note Before we begin—I'll just take a moment of your time! 🌸 I know this is a bit of a wall of text to encounter before the actual novel, so I'll keep it simple: please take a moment to read this first so you know what to expect from this translation. After this chapter, you can happily skip these notes unless there's something new I need to mention. I promise I won't make you read this before every chapter. 😂 I'm sharing this translation simply because I translated this novel for myself, enjoyed it, and thought that perhaps other readers with similar tastes might enjoy it too. I'm a huge fan of quick-transmigration (快穿) novels, especially the kind where the protagonist is already extremely capable—or becomes overpowered very quickly—and gets to go through different worlds, counterattack, face-slap, and generally make life difficult for people who deserve it. I usually don't gravitate toward QT novels that focus heavily on favorabi...

Chapter 2: Does It Matter If I Am Gay?

When the male makeup artist heard Tang Wan’s words, he was immediately stunned. The others around him looked at him with envy, wishing Tang Wan would casually point at them instead. That was five billion! After a while, the male makeup artist finally reacted. His face flushed red as he asked, “Is it okay if I’m gay?” “It doesn’t matter if you’re gay or anything else. As long as you hold a wedding with me, the five billion will be yours!” Tang Wan said. “I agree!” he replied excitedly, nodding desperately. Tang Wan snapped her fingers when she heard this. “Okay! You guys, hurry up and change his clothes and fix his styling!” Hah! Did they really think she absolutely had to marry Sun Wu? Three-legged toads were hard to find, but there were plenty of two-legged men in the world! ... Hearing Tang Wan’s words, the others immediately got busy, pressing the temporary groom into a chair while applying makeup and changing him into a suit. Half an hour later, Tang Wan wor...

Chapter 4: Diablo 1

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately understood that this was a name given by the host, and the system had to accept it! Seeing this, she couldn’t help looking at Little Cutie dangerously. “Little Cutie, did you do that on purpose just now?” If she had agreed to call it the Daddy System, wouldn’t she have to call a little kid “Dad” forever? Hearing Tang Wan’s words, Little Cutie felt guilty for a second, but still said confidently: “I was originally called the Daddy System! I didn’t lie to you!” “I think it’s actually called the 88 System, right?” Tang Wan exposed him with a single glance. Upon hearing this, Little Cutie immediately stiffened his neck and said: “Yes! Doesn’t 88 sound like ‘Dad’?” Tang Wan was speechless. Did systems also play word games now? At that moment, Little Cutie was afraid Tang Wan would continue dwelling on the name issue, so he immediately urged: “Since the binding is complete, let’s head to the mission world now!” “Now entering the no...
