Chapter 159 Li Yuan, your little scheme has successfully piqued my interest.

If you complete the mission in Li Yuan's place, he can escape this world and return to his parents' arms.

Hearing this, Yun Yang finally felt half relieved.

That was terrifying! I thought Li Yuan was about to be annihilated.

Then I realized something was wrong.

Why don't you just expose Li Yuan and let him continue his pursuit of Fu Xiaoting?

Why do you have to contact me?

The system snorted coldly, seemingly annoyed by Yun Yang's matter-of-fact tone.

【Do you think I don't want to? If it were feasible, would you be here making sarcastic remarks?】

[Based on my meticulous calculations, the genuine Fu Xiaoting has already awakened.]

His hatred for all those who try to conquer him is off the charts; anyone who comes near is doomed!

Therefore, the Supreme God and I held an emergency meeting overnight to adjust the plan, which is why we chose you to take over this task.

Yunyang listened, completely bewildered.

Choose me? Why?

There are two reasons.

First, he doesn't know you're the player who initiated the raid, so he doesn't have any initial hatred towards you.

[The second, and most crucial, point.]

Because you personally killed Zhang Yan, Fu Xiaoting's favorability towards you has reached 60%!

Yun Yang's eyebrows furrowed into a knot.

This logic just doesn't make sense.

Are you sure it's the real Fu Xiaoting who has feelings for me, and not my Xiaoting?

The system was resolute.

Of course! Li Yuan's affection for you has already skyrocketed, it's beyond estimation!

I'm talking about the real Fu Xiaoting!

[Wait a minute...]

The system's voice suddenly became panicked.

What's going on?! Fu Xiaoting's affection for you is plummeting!

[60%...50%...40%...Why? Why? What happened?!]

Yunyang squatted on the ground, looking at the flat cockroach at her feet, but her heart felt cold.

A tall, slender shadow appeared behind her at some point, completely enveloping her and the small patch of ground in front of her.

The shadow carried a chilling, oppressive feeling.

Yun Yang thought she probably knew why the favorability rating had plummeted.

Of course! The main target is right behind her listening. Knowing that she's a potential conquest candidate, it's no wonder her favorability rating drops!

Her mind raced, calculating how to turn around with lightning speed, pull out an anesthetic spray, and knock the big guy behind her unconscious.

However, she didn't have time to act.

A clear, somewhat innocent voice rang out above her head.

"Sister, why are you bending over and talking to the system?"

Yunyang suddenly turned around.

What comes into view is a pair of clear, slightly silly dog ​​eyes.

It's Xiaoting!

Yun Yang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if she had almost died on the spot.

She knew it! If that evil Ting kept popping up like that, Li Yuan would be terrified.

"Can you hear the system?"

Fu Xiaoting shook his head: "But I can hear your thoughts, and you've forgotten them again?"

In Yun Yang's mind, the system's roar rang out again.

[Now, no one can hear me except you. I don't want to be trampled on like an outcast again! But! The real Fu Xiaoting heard me too! Why is mind-reading on him?! Hurry up and kiss me back!]

Fu Xiaoting also squatted down and curiously approached Yun Yang, staring at the flat cockroach struggling to move.

He burst out laughing.

"Is it a system? How did you turn into a cockroach? Oh dear."

The system instantly went berserk.

[Li Yuan! That ungrateful bastard! How dare he mock me! If it weren't for bringing him back to life, would I be in this ghastly state?!]

Then, it turned its attention to Yunyang.

[Yunyang! Kiss me now! Let me crawl into your brain and become my host! Otherwise, I'll... I'll electrocute you!]

Yun Yang stared at it expressionlessly.

[Kissing you? Zero chance. Kissing him? Depends on my mood.]

Then, he took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket.

Unscrew the cap, and without hesitation, poured all the red liquid inside onto the cockroach.

The system was so frightened that its voice cracked.

What medicine did you give me?!

Yun Yang slowly and methodically put away the medicine bottle, her voice calm and even.

"The medicine that Zhang Yan used."

"Even cockroaches need to poop, you can't control me."

The system was silent for two seconds, then erupted in a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

【Aaaaaah! You wicked woman!】

Yunyang ignored its roar.

He pulled a clean tissue from his pocket and pinched it up.

"From now on, follow my orders!"

The system is still struggling to survive.

【No way! I'm going to complain to the Supreme God! Replace you!】

Anyway, Fu Xiaoting already has no good feelings towards you...

【Wait, something's not right...】

The system's voice was once again filled with confusion and shock.

[What's going on?! Fu Xiaoting's favorability towards you is back! And... it's even reached 70%?! Why?!]

At the same time.

Fu Xiaoting, who was squatting next to Yun Yang, suddenly stiffened.

A playful voice echoed in his mind.

[Li Yuan, your little scheme has successfully piqued my interest.]

Yun Yang had just put the tissue containing the system into her pocket when she looked up and met Fu Xiaoting's deep, dark eyes.

Cold and sharp, with a scrutinizing and inquisitive quality.

Yunyang's heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, which Ting are you?"

The icy look in Fu Xiaoting's eyes melted away quickly, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

He smiled at Yun Yang, his lips curving upwards like a golden retriever trying to please its owner.

"Of course it's your Ting, my sister."

Yunyang patted her chest.

"Smile more often, it's kind of scary."

...

kitchen.

Yunyang had just arrived at the door.

Then I heard Shen Mingyue shouting.

"The Fu family can't afford to live anymore, yet they insist on making you, a pregnant woman, work with a child in tow!"

Yunyang strode into the kitchen.

As soon as Shen Mingyue saw her, she pulled her over.

"Yunyang, I'm so angry! She woke Pan'er out of bed before dawn and made her clean the kitchen!"

"Pan'er is not allowed to live in the main building; she must go with her to live in the servants' quarters!"

As Yun Yang listened to Shen Mingyue's words, she began to have doubts.

Did you get up before dawn?

She was 100% certain that when she woke up at noon today, the entire Owl Garden was still eerily empty.

Could it be that the night she and Xiaoting were trapped in that isolated space was just another normal day for the others in Xiaoyuan?

They were not affected at all; they were simply unable to interact with the trapped individuals.

System: [You're right, each NPC has their own life and won't be affected by your departure.]

Yun Yang understood after hearing this.

In other words, if we can help Shen Mingyue and the others resolve their current troubles, their future will move in a positive direction after she leaves.

What will happen to Pan'er in the future?

Of course she and the little prince will love each other dearly, but because she brought her mother with her when they went to Country Y, they almost got themselves killed.

"Yunyang! Yunyang! What are you spacing out for?"

Shen Mingyue pushed her away in dissatisfaction.

Yun Yang snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction Shen Mingyue was pointing.

Pan'er's mother was standing awkwardly in the corner with Pan'er.

The woman was wearing faded old clothes and had a fawning, humble smile on her face.

"I... I just thought that I couldn't just stay at the Fu family's house for free, so I wanted to do more to repay Mr. Fu's kindness in taking me in."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingyue became even angrier.

"What do you mean by Mr. Fu's kindness in taking you in? It was me and Butler Yun who took you in. Did Fu Xiaoting ever even acknowledge you?"

Pan'er's mother quickly waved her hand, looking aggrieved.

"I didn't, I didn't mean that..."

Shen Mingyue's anger reached its peak when she saw her pitiful appearance.

"Are you living a chaotic life yourself and can't stand seeing your child enjoy a good life? If you're willing to do it, then do it yourself. Why are you making things difficult for Pan'er?"

Seeing Pan'er hiding behind her mother in fright, her face pale, Yun Yang quickly pulled back Shen Mingyue, who was about to explode.

She walked up to Pan'er, squatted down, and soothed her in the gentlest voice, "Pan'er, be good, go play with Brother Xiaoxin, he's giving the toad an enema in the courtyard."

After sending the child away, Yun Yang stood up and looked at Pan'er's mother, the gentleness on her face instantly fading.

“Every servant in Xiaoyuan has their own assigned job.”

"There are more than twenty maids just to clean this kitchen."

"Are you so capable that you're trying to steal all their jobs?"
