"Stop, can you ask for my opinion?"

Lingling paused, her mechanical voice tinged with a hint of human hesitation, "Then, will you accept the mission?"

Di Beiyao smiled, his red lips curving upwards, and said, word by word, "I will not accept it."

She's not stupid; isn't freedom appealing?

Lingling thought for a moment and then projected an image of a man onto the giant screen.

"This is a portrait of Jun Wuji."

A man clad in dark armor sat astride a warhorse, his long, black hair flowing straight down his back, his sharply angled eyebrows revealing piercing black eyes.

Thin, slightly pursed lips, sharply defined features, a tall and slender figure—he resembled an eagle in the night.

Cold and aloof, yet imposing, she exudes an air of dominance that seems to look down upon the world.

Di Beiyao was captivated, her beautiful eyes flickering with conflicted emotions, before she finally swallowed silently.

A very spineless opening

"I agree."

It smells so good!

System Lingling: Hehe, after a thousand years, you really are still that infatuated woman.

——————

Canglan Kingdom, Prince Ji's Mansion.

In the vast courtyard stood an ancient tree with a thick trunk and lush foliage.

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, causing them to sway lightly and make a pleasant whisper.

"Ugh, this is so hard! It's really so hard for me!"

A soft female voice drifted from the dense foliage, startling a flock of sparrows nearby.

Di Beiyao, oh no, she is no longer the millennium-old Empress Di Beiyao.

She is now just a female bodyguard: Bei Yao.

A dignified empress of a dynasty, who died and wandered alone for a thousand years, is one thing, but...

In the end, I'll be bound to some inexplicable system and forced to complete some ridiculous tasks.

Because the man was handsome enough to please her, she reluctantly agreed, but...

Why! Why was she given the role of a guard?!

That damned system's reason for giving her this was: "Those in the right place get the best view."

Get the moon? Get my ass!

You expect the prince to fall in love with one of his female bodyguards?!

That's more like bullshit!

Based on the past two days, it seems that the handsome man's relationship with her is purely that of a superior and subordinate.

She even seriously suspected that handsome men were either frigid or gay.

Otherwise, why would he leave such a beautiful woman like himself to be a bodyguard?

What a waste of precious resources!

Just then, a man dressed in black appeared on the tree branch opposite her.

"The master is looking for you."

Shadow Blade, Jun Wuji's right bodyguard, usually lurks in the shadows.

The person disappeared as soon as they finished speaking—concise, clear, and decisive!

Di Beiyao smiled, “…”, “That’s nice.”

This guy is ranked number one in the Canglan Kingdom for lightness skills. He appears and disappears like a ghost. My poor old heart!

Upon thinking of the system's tasks, Di Beiyao immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

The road to winning a handsome man's heart is long...

What a tragic empress...

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Di Beiyao got up and nimbly jumped down from the tree, then strode towards Jun Wuji's study.

This person possessed excellent martial arts skills, which also made her faster than the average person. In less than a quarter of an hour, Di Beiyao arrived at the study door.

The two guards standing at the door of the study informed her that Jun Wuji was at the hot spring in the manor, so she had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the hot spring, silently gritting her teeth in her heart:

Shadowblade, you donkey, you can't even finish your sentence!

After winding her way through the streets, she arrived at the hot spring. The two guards at the entrance saw her...

Bowing his head and clasping his hands in a fist salute, the luggage was guarded by the "left guard".

Di Beiyao nodded indifferently and walked inside. The two guards watched his retreating figure.

They wanted to shout out their words, but hesitated, and finally exchanged a silent glance.

He swallowed back the words he wanted to say:

Well, the Lord is taking a bath!
