Chapter 171 Everyone Hates Her

In addition, the system's anti-cold mode and today's powerful props allowed her to witness the magic and capabilities of the system.

If she had points, she could redeem them for more goodies with unimaginable functions. Just imagine how cool that would be!

So, what are you waiting for if you don’t hurry up and complete the task?

[Okay, host, please wait.]

The system quickly began to monitor Xiao Yelin and recorded the situation in the room into a short video and sent it to Su Haitang.

After seeing Xiao Yelin and Chen Yaoxing sleeping in the same room, Su Haitang was so angry that her blood rushed backwards.

"This guy is staying in the palace and won't leave. I can't be sure if he's coming for me. With him around, how can I dare to get close to Xiao Yelin?"

"That loser Pei Lin, I told him to drag the Shen family into a scandal with Shen Qingyi, to foster their relationship, and to secretly manipulate the rumors. But in the end, he was assassinated just after taking the first step. How can we carry out the rest of our plan?"

"Such a loser, not worthy of his male supporting role at all."

"It's strange, Pei Lin has never been assassinated in the plot, so why is he being assassinated now?"

"His plot has only collapsed once, at the Xiangming Teahouse, and that was due to the Shen family's covert interference."

Prince Jin's Mansion.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Chen Yaoxing stretched and lazily sat up from the bed, only to find that the couch by the window was empty and there was no one there.

"woke up?"

Suddenly, a low voice came to his ears. He turned his head and vaguely saw a figure sitting behind the rosewood hollow flower wall.

"Um."

Chen Yaoxing responded lazily, got out of bed, put on his shoes and strode over. He saw Xiao Yelin wearing a dark purple dress, sitting at the table looking through some documents.

"Good morning, my lord."

He folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the rosewood wall with hollow flowers, looking at him from afar.

Xiao Yelin looked up at him, then returned his gaze to the letter in his hand.

"All the toiletries are ready. Go rinse your mouth and wash your face first. When you're done, I'll have dinner served."

Hearing this, Chen Yaoxing laughed, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "Your Highness, do you still want to keep me?"

"Why not?"

He looked at the letter seriously and replied without looking up, his voice without any emotion.

Chen Yaoxing raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately confirmed in his heart that Xiao Yelin had not met Su Haitang yesterday, nor did he keep her.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Yelin take care of him?

Could it be that he was wrong? Did Su Haitang not actually succeed in sneaking into the palace?

"No, I dare not continue to occupy the prince's bed."

Coming back to his senses, Chen Yaoxing responded with a smile, then went to wash up.

After the meal, he said goodbye in a hurry and left the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

As soon as he left, the message was conveyed to Su Haitang by the system.

[Host, good news! I just detected that Chen Yaoxing has left Prince Jin's Mansion.]

Upon receiving the news, Su Haitang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Great! This haunting bastard is finally gone."

"There are less than twelve hours left until the mission ends. System, quickly give me Xiao Yelin's location. I need to find him immediately."

"This time, I will complete the mission no matter what."

Su Haitang clicked on the location and saw that the area between her and Xiao Yelin was covered with densely packed small bright spots.

Looking at those little bright spots, she almost fainted on the spot.

"Why are there so many marked little dots? Are these all secret guards?"

[Congratulations to the host for answering correctly. The bright spot is a secret guard.]

Su Haitang: “…”

How come there are so many?

She counted them carefully and found that there were more than twenty of them.

"How can I possibly hide from so many secret guards? System, please give me another invisibility talisman."

It was not until now that Su Haitang understood that she was able to successfully enter the palace because of the invisibility talisman. Otherwise, according to the layout of the Prince Jin's Palace, she really could not even get through the gate.

[The prop gift pack has been distributed and is currently unavailable, but I can turn on stealth mode for the host.]

Su Haitang: "In this mode, will health points be deducted again?"

[Yes, host.]

"Forget it, I decided to try it myself."

Su Haitang directly rejected the system's suggestion, and then looked through the remaining props in the package.

After looking at the Disguise Pill and the Charming Halo over and over again for more than a dozen times, she fixed her eyes on the Charming Halo.

The Disguise Pill is of primary level, while the Charming Aura is of advanced level. Generally speaking, the advanced level will definitely be better than the primary level, right?

After reading the introduction of the Charming Halo again, Su Haitang clicked to use it with trepidation. Then, she carefully followed the location prompts and walked towards Xiao Yelin.

Although she was very careful, she still couldn't escape the more than twenty pairs of eyes in the dark.

A secret guard spotted her and immediately flew out to stop her.

Su Haitang was startled and looked at the man in black in front of her nervously and warily. When she was thinking about whether to make a big noise and lure Xiao Yelin out, a scene that stunned her appeared.

The secret guard in front of her stared at her and said in a gentle and earnest voice, "Miss, are you the new maid? You look a lot like someone the prince hates..."

Su Haitang: “…”

"Yes, I am the new maid. I have something to see the prince. Can you please move aside?"

"No, I can't move aside, and the girl can't go see the prince."

Su Haitang: “…”

She looked at the secret guard speechlessly and asked, "Why?"

"Because the girl looks very much like someone the prince hates very much. If she rashly appears in front of the prince, she will probably make him angry. If the prince gets angry, he will definitely hurt the girl..."

Every word the secret guard said was for her consideration, but Su Haitang was speechless.

Is it possible that she is the person that Xiao Yelin hates so much?

It seems that everyone knows that Xiao Yelin hates her.

This time, Su Haitang was really angry.

She took a step back, put her hands on her hips and screamed. Since she had been discovered, she might as well go for it. It was a good opportunity to see the power of the Heartthrob Aura.

This thing can only be used for thirty minutes. Her time is precious and she cannot waste a single minute.

"Xiao Yelin, come out, come out here. I'm here to ask for my book. Give me back my book."

Secret Guard: “…”

The moment she spoke, the secret guard became anxious and wanted to cover her mouth.

However, before he could make any move, the door not far away opened and a tall, slender and imposing man walked out.

He put one hand behind his back and frowned at the woman not far away.

Seeing him come out, Su Haitang was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses, kicked the secret guard, and ran around him towards Xiao Yelin.

She looked up at the man on the steps.

The sun was shining brightly, shining on half of his face, giving him a light golden glow and making him look even more noble and extraordinary.

His face, which was already three-dimensional, deep and extremely handsome, became even more charming and attractive.

"Gurgle..."

Su Haitang looked at him straight and couldn't help swallowing.

MD, he is worthy of being the male lead. His looks and figure are truly the best among the best. She has never seen such a handsome man in her previous life.

If this guy becomes a male model, I wonder if rich women will go crazy for him.

"How did Miss Su sneak into the palace?"

Xiao Yelin frowned and looked at her. He didn't know why, but he felt that she was particularly attractive at this moment, inexplicably different from usual.

When Su Haitang heard his voice, she felt her ears go numb and her whole body went limp.

Damn, why is this guy so attractive to this body?

Is this the reason for destined marriage and official pairing?

She almost couldn't help but wonder if the aura of being a heartthrob had been cast on him.

It was obviously she who opened the aura of the heartthrob, so why was she also the one who was seduced and unable to extricate herself?

Is this halo reliable?

She came back to her senses, stretched out a hand towards Xiao Yelin, and said, "Don't worry about this for now, Xiao Yelin, return the book I had someone send me last time."

"Since you don't keep your promise and have no cooperative spirit, then I don't need you. I can find someone else to carry out these plans."

Looking at the white and tender jade hand in front of him, Xiao Yelin's eyes sank slightly, and he felt inexplicably tempted.

His throat moved and he spoke in a deep voice.

"I will never return the book to you. I was wrong to break my promise last time. I can apologize to you, but I will never return the book to you."

"Also, you absolutely must not even think of finding anyone else to carry out the plans in this book, especially your father. If the contents of these books were ever leaked, I will make you regret it."

"This is not a threat, it's a reminder, remember?"

Hearing these words, Su Haitang couldn't help but feel a chill running down her back. She could feel that he was not really threatening her, but was really going to do it.

"System, why do I feel like Xiao Yelin isn't affected by the Heartthrob's aura? Could it be that this aura has no effect on him?"

[It definitely has an effect, but the protagonist is still the protagonist after all. Unlike ordinary people, the halo can only play a small role against him.]

“…”

It’s like saying nothing at all, this system’s nonsense literature is really cool.

She softened her voice a bit, "Xiao Yelin, I can only ask you to cooperate, but I have a prerequisite."

Xiao Yelin's brows furrowed even more tightly. "How dare you! I am the Prince of Jin. How can you call me by my full name like that? Miss Su, don't you even understand the most basic etiquette of respect and inferiority?"

Su Haitang: “…”

She looked at him unconvinced and said, "Isn't a name given to be called by others? If you don't want people to call you by your name so much, why did you even have a name? Can't you just call him Prince Jin?"

This time, it was Xiao Yelin's turn to be speechless.

His name was not chosen for the world to call him, but for his father, mother, and future princess, and for the purpose of being included in the royal family's imperial genealogy.

"Forget it this time. I hope Miss Su will understand the hierarchy in the future. I was given this name, and it is not Miss Su's turn to call me by it."

Su Haitang was so angry that his teeth were itching. This damn guy was such a stubborn old man who refused to change.

"If you don't want to shout, then don't shout. It's like no one cares."

She rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Your Highness said before that you could apologize to me for breaking your promise last time. I'd like to ask, how would Your Highness want to apologize?"

"I will have someone send a gift of apology to your residence."

"What apology? I've already said this beforehand. If the prince's apology doesn't satisfy me, then there's no need for us to continue our cooperation."

Xiao Yelin: “…”

"Then Miss Su, why don't you tell me what apology you would like? If it's not excessive, I can send someone to prepare it now."

"Okay, but are you sure you want to stand here and talk to me? Your Highness may be able to stand, but I'm very tired and don't want to stand any longer. Can Your Highness make some arrangements?"

After not sleeping for a whole night, Su Haitang felt a little exhausted and was physically and mentally tired just standing.

Besides, all her plans could not be carried out in this bright and clear world, so she had to find an excuse to go into the room first.

Xiao Yelin clenched his fists, subconsciously feeling that it was inappropriate, but after thinking about the contents of those books, he couldn't help but hesitate.

After a moment, he nodded in response.

"Follow me."

After saying that, Xiao Yelin turned and walked towards the door.

The moment he turned around, a triumphant smile appeared on Su Haitang's face.

The first step of the plan was successful.

Next, it’s time for the second step. She must exert her full ability and must defeat Xiao Yelin in one fell swoop to complete the task.
