Su Yuan suddenly noticed that at this moment, Shenhe wasn't wearing any of her red ropes...
No wonder — that also explained why Shenhe now seemed so full of hostility...
However, although Shenhe appeared somewhat irritable right now, there were no signs of her being affected by any eerie force...
Well, that made sense.
The rule prompted by his right hand had only warned him to be extremely cautious if he encountered a Shenhe without her red ropes — it never said she would definitely undergo an eerie transformation because of it...
"I'm truly very sorry, Miss Shenhe. It was my fault. I shouldn't have blocked your way. I'll leave right now..."
Su Yuan chose to avoid direct conflict, not wanting to provoke Shenhe.
He quickly moved aside to the roadside, clearing the path for her...
Shenhe shot Su Yuan a fierce glare but said nothing more and continued walking forward.
Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
Shenhe likely knew the red ropes were crucial for suppressing the aura of solitary evil within her — under normal circumstances, without a pressing reason, she wouldn't take them off voluntarily...
In other words, now that the red ropes were gone from Shenhe's body, as Shenhe's master, Cloud Retainer — that woman Xianyun — was highly suspicious!
But Ye Su thought it was better to follow her for now and see what Shenhe was really up to...
So Su Yuan trailed behind Shenhe from a distance, quietly following her — and eventually discovered that Shenhe had gone into Wanmin Restaurant.
Hmm? Was Shenhe going there to eat?
But didn't Shenhe dislike mortal food and prefer to eat raw celestial herbs and medicines?
But soon, when Shenhe came out of Wanmin Restaurant carrying several food containers filled with various dishes, Su Yuan immediately understood — just like in the game, Shenhe occasionally worked as a delivery person for Wanmin Restaurant, experiencing mortal life and trying to integrate into human society!
After Shenhe left, Su Yuan quickly went into Wanmin Restaurant and saw Xiangling.
"Eh? Mr. Su Yuan, what brings you here? Are you here to eat something?" Xiangling asked.
"I'm not here to eat, Xiangling. I came because of Shenhe," Su Yuan replied.
"Don't you think there's something strange about her?"
"There totally is!" Xiangling nodded repeatedly.
"I feel like Miss Shenhe's temper is really weird today — super fierce, like she could start hitting people at any moment…"
"That's because the red ropes that used to bind her have been removed, so her temper seems to have become more irritable and filled with hostility…"
Su Yuan pointed to the red handprint still faintly visible on his face and said:
"Look, this is from when she smacked me just now..."
"Oh no, that sounds serious!" Xiangling said worriedly.
"Miss Shenhe does deliver food really fast, but... yeah, her methods can be a little unusual..."
"There were already quite a few customers before who couldn't accept her… unique way of delivering food, and ended up leaving bad reviews…"
"With the kind of explosive temper Shenhe has right now, if someone complains about her service, do you think she might just beat the customer up on the spot?"
As she spoke, Xiangling pulled out a few order slips from the kitchen and said:
"No, this won't do. We need to take these slips and head to the customers' addresses — we can't let Miss Shenhe do something reckless!"
"Even if Miss Shenhe ends up hitting me, she mustn't hit the customers!"
Sure enough, just as Su Yuan and Xiangling had feared, when they arrived at the first customer's house, they saw Shenhe grabbing the person by the collar, her expression furious as she growled:
"What? Do you have a problem with me?"
"It's just that I broke your front door when I opened it, isn't it?"
"How is that my fault? It's clearly because your door was poorly made — total shoddy work!"
Su Yuan understood the situation now — it turned out that Shenhe's overwhelming strength accidentally broke the customer's door.
Xiangling immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, apologizing sincerely to the customer:
"I'm really sorry, sir. Miss Shenhe isn't in the best mood today, so please don't take it to heart or hold it against her…"
"We at Wanmin Restaurant will fully cover the cost of your broken door."
She then turned to Shenhe and said:
"Miss Shenhe, there's no need for you to make deliveries today. Just take the day off and rest — you'll still get paid as usual."
Shenhe shot Xiangling a glare, said nothing, put down the food deliveries she was still holding, and left.
Su Yuan felt that Shenhe's personality really was acting a bit strange now…
Without the red ropes, she basically felt like a short-tempered big sister version of herself…
Su Yuan quickly caught up to her and cautiously asked:
"Shenhe, do you know where your red ropes have gone?"
"Red ropes… red ropes?"
Hearing Su Yuan mention it, Shenhe suddenly stopped in her tracks, standing there in a daze…
"So… the red ropes on me… are gone?"
Su Yuan froze a bit too — what did Shenhe mean by that?
Could it be… she hadn't even realized that her current state was the result of no longer being bound by the red ropes?
"Hahahahaha…"
The next moment, Shenhe suddenly burst into laughter — sharp, eerie, and chilling…
"No more red ropes. There are no more red ropes on me!!!"
"I am Shenhe, born with a fate of solitude and misfortune — doomed to harm those around me…"
"The lives of those around me… what do they have to do with me?"
"Why should I sacrifice my own desires just to protect others?!"
As Su Yuan felt the eerie power radiating from Shenhe's body, he froze on the spot…
What was going on now?
Why had Shenhe suddenly fallen into a state of eerie transformation?
Could it be that the true trigger for Shenhe's transformation wasn't the physical removal of the red ropes — but rather, her realization and acceptance of the fact that they were gone?
Su Yuan instantly felt a wave of regret — why did he have to ask that question just now?!
Because of it, Shenhe had fallen straight into an eerie state!
If he had just found the red ropes and tied them back onto her, everything might have been fine!
Still, Su Yuan figured that no matter how bad things got, it wasn't a total disaster — after all, he still had 3.3 chances to rewind time, so there was some margin for error.
"Su Yuan… what's going on?!"
Xiangling had just caught up, staring in shock at the scene before her.
"This strange and ominous power around Miss Shenhe — is this that eerie power you were talking about?"
"Yes," Su Yuan replied with a grim expression, turning to face her.
"The condition for Shenhe's transformation… is her realizing that the red ropes binding her have been undone."
