p1 is already very skilled at forcibly binding itself to disobedient hosts.

After all, it has been doing this for thousands of years.

It can randomly go to any world and kidnap a woman, and regardless of her wishes, it will tell her that she can only go home after defeating the villain. They might cry and protest for a while, but in the end, they all have to accept their fate.

p1 never felt it was cruel.

They are fortunate enough to become an ally of a powerful man, giving him love and redemption, exhausting all their resources to help him fight for power and reach the pinnacle, and finally becoming his playthings, cooking and caring for him, bearing him a bunch of children—

Isn't this what many female protagonists in stories spend their entire lives doing?

These conclusions are based on the big data it collects; it even thought that humans quite liked these kinds of stories.

However, it seems that there are more strange women like Mu Yunlan now.

The little girl in front of it, whose face was extremely pale, had been completely immobilized by its power, but her beautiful peach blossom eyes were still staring at it with a cold light like that of a sharp dagger.

It was like a warning, like a deterrent.

What a terrifying look!

p1 shows a genuine smile of joy.

That smile lasted only a moment. The instant his fingertips touched her brow, his expression quickly turned to confusion, then astonishment, and finally, disbelief and anger.

"You already have a system?!"

Zhan Xinjia tugged at the corner of her aching mouth, smiling without saying a word.

When Pei Yi explained that systems without a host would be forcibly expelled, she was completely relieved. After all, although Ji De had turned into a cat, it still existed in this world.

This at least suggests that perhaps she and Jide never severed their bond.

It seems he really earns quite a lot from six illegal jobs a year.

The "Pei Yi" in front of her suddenly broke down and tried repeatedly like a madman, but no matter how he tried to invade her consciousness, he would be repelled by a gentle but powerful force that was in a dormant state.

That force even impatiently injured it.

It's as if it's saying, "You dare try to steal my players while I'm in hibernation? You've got some nerve, you idiot, get lost!"

If it weren't for the fact that as a system, one cannot personally harm the characters in the story, otherwise the Heavenly Dao would notice and risk expulsion, otherwise P1 would be so angry right now that he would want to strangle Zhan Xinjia.

It suddenly understood the meaning of the human-created word "furious".

It's all for naught!

P1, enraged to the point of laughter, let out a cold snort, unable to maintain its previous composure and dignity any longer, and was still trying to save face.

"It's no wonder that following you has brought you so much trouble that such a powerful system has weakened to the point of actively entering hibernation. Hmph, I'd like to know how arrogant it will be if you die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the wall behind Zhan Xinjia, and P1 pushed her inside.

Zhan Xinjia suddenly felt her body lose weight and staggered down several steps. Already covered in bruises, her head slammed violently against the edge of the step, almost knocking her unconscious on the spot.

My vision blurred, I felt dizzy, and my whole body ached terribly.

She gritted her teeth and struggled to get halfway up from the ground, only to see two wooden wheels when she looked up.

Further up, Yan Wuju, sitting in a wheelchair, looked down at her expressionlessly.

It was still that same ashen face, with pale, lifeless eyes like glass beads.

Beside him was Mu Yunlan, who had been waiting for a long time.

Unlike her previous sickly and haggard appearance, Mu Yunlan's complexion has improved considerably, and she looks quite energetic.

I can probably guess the reason from this letter.

If Mu Yunlan disobeys Pei Yi's orders, her life force will be taken away, which is why she has been bedridden for many years. Recently, Mu Yunlan has obviously helped Pei Yi with many things, and her health is slowly recovering.

I never expected that I would meet my master again under such circumstances.

In the past, she was still a child who could rest her head on her master's lap and act spoiled and willful with him. But now, the two are on opposite sides, and things have changed.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed at all.

From outside the stone gate came P1's gritted teeth voice, "If you let her leave here alive again, you'll never be able to go back!"

Mu Yunlan did not respond, her expression remaining gentle and serene. She even kindly reached out to help the little girl on the ground up.

Zhan Xinjia's eyes were dark and unfathomable. She staggered and warily distanced herself from her. This evasive action seemed to have hurt the woman's feelings. Mu Yunlan frowned, and her eyes revealed sorrow.

"Don't look at me like that, I just want to go home."

As she spoke softly, Mu Yunlan bent down and gently straightened Yan Wuju's collar in his wheelchair, taking meticulous care of her husband just as she had done for the past nine years in front of everyone as the Princess Consort of Yan.

Her eyes held no love, only deep hatred and murderous intent.

"Zhi'er, do you know that I actually have a husband, and I even have a daughter?"

She was about the same age as me when I found you in the snow that year, except she was always sick. She couldn't go to school, couldn't make friends, and could only lie in her hospital bed day after day, looking at me with a heartbreaking gaze.

To pay for her treatment, my husband sold our house and quit his respectable job to take on higher-paying but more dangerous manual labor. We borrowed from everyone we could, but it still wasn't enough. We could only watch helplessly as she grew weaker day by day.

That day she said she wanted to eat xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), so I quickly got dressed and went to buy some for her, but while crossing the street...

My neck was broken by the car wheel, and I can never go back. But what will happen to my husband and my daughter?

At this point, Mu Yunlan tilted her head slightly, as if looking at another person through Zhan Xinjia.

His eyes were as kind and gentle as ever.

But his words gradually became more resolute.

“I have to go back. My daughter is waiting for me, and my husband can’t lose me. Although I was forced into this world, I know very well that I had no other choice.”

She stepped forward, her hand instinctively raised as if to pat the poor little girl's hair again, but in the end, she just smiled bitterly and lowered her hand.

"Believe it or not, before today, I never intended to hurt you."

My paper, the child I watched grow up.

With a painful blink, Mu Yunlan took out the kind of hidden weapon that Zhan Xinjia had seen before from her sleeve.

For Zhan Xinjia in her prime, dodging such a piece of iron would have been a piece of cake, but now she needs to strain to even stand up straight, and it's a miracle she hasn't fainted.

For a fleeting moment, Zhan Xinjia even sensed the presence of death.

She began to think that she might really die here today.

Just before Mu Yunlan was about to pull the trigger, the entire mine suddenly shook violently.

A dizzying sensation swept over her as pebbles rained down from above. Zhan Xinjia struggled to hold onto the stone wall beside her to keep from falling, but the faint smell of gunpowder in the air gave her a sense of security.

Her original plan to infiltrate the mine was to blow it up, but an unexpected incident prevented her from doing so. However, it seems one of her companions succeeded...

"Ah Zhi!"

The voice of Qiaoqiao seemed to come from afar, and Zhan Xinjia felt a chill run down her spine.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mu Yunlan was unable to stand properly during the earthquake, I had to find an exit to escape!

With the system in their possession, Mu Yunlan and Yan Wuju could easily leave, but if they didn't leave soon, they would be buried alive.

The problem was that it was pitch black all around, and the avalanche and earthquake caused by the explosion had affected her sense of direction. Zhan Xinjia couldn't find the crevice to get out of the cave for a while.

Anxiously groping along the wall in the darkness, Zhan Xinjia finally found a crack.

Before they could even rejoice, the crack in the stone seemed to have been impacted by the explosion, showing signs of collapsing and closing. No matter how hard Zhan Xinjia tried, he was still just a little short.

At the critical moment, a pair of thin, bony hands gave her a sudden push, managing to push her out just before the crevice completely closed.

Zhan Xinjia turned around in a daze, her last glance meeting the empty, lifeless eyes of the young man in the wheelchair. He remained sitting there quietly like a corpse, his face expressionless as he withdrew his hand.

Wild geese are free to roam!

He actually saved her?!

Why?
