"Oh, you can try. Don't you know that punishing the world isn't so easy?" System 057's voice turned cold.

"Zun Du Jia Du 0.o" Gu Qingqiu looks gentle and weak, but her attitude is actually very firm: "Then I'll give it a try?"

With a forceful pull, shards of porcelain embedded themselves into her palm, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the white sheets crimson. Although she couldn't see anything at that moment, she could faintly smell the blood emanating from her body.

"Since I won't die, then I won't die either." Gu Qingqiu smiled innocently. "Is that alright? I just accidentally cut my hand. Oh, and I can't see right now, so it's possible that I might trip and fall a few times while walking or accidentally miss a step and fall from a height, right?"

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

A sharp crackling sound of electricity swept past Gu Qingqiu's ears, and her vision returned.

"Wow, can the punishment world end early?" Gu Qingqiu feigned surprise. "System 057, your authority is really high! In that case, can you find a way to get my child out quickly? I can't wait to see what it looks like."

[Ha, I'll grant your request. Will you complete the mission properly?]

"I will," Gu Qingqiu blinked her seemingly sincere eyes. "I just don't know what my child will look like, tall or short, fat or thin, what skin color or race, whether he or she will mutate or something. After all, I can't think of anything else that hasn't been born for so long except for Nezha."

What kind of child do you hope your child will be?

"I don't know, but if it's an animal, I like cats and dogs quite a bit. Furry kids are kids too."

As soon as she finished speaking, the eggshell cracked open completely, and a fluffy head poked out from inside, timidly meowing at Gu Qingqiu.

"It's a silver shaded kitten!" Gu Qingqiu excitedly hugged and kissed the kitten. "Baby! You're so cute~"

Gu Qingqiu had been petting the kitten for almost an hour when System 057 finally couldn't help but speak up: [Are you satisfied now? Are you going to keep your word?]

"Let's do it." Gu Qingqiu reluctantly put the kitten down, then suddenly remembered something: "Should I feed it something before I leave? Otherwise, I'm afraid it will go hungry."

"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of it for you."

“Okay, let’s set off then! To the next world!” Gu Qingqiu smiled.

brush--

Before her was a Buddhist hall, and the sound of solemn chanting of Buddhist scriptures could be heard. Gu Qingqiu found herself kneeling on a prayer mat, with a huge statue of Guanyin in front of her, holding a willow branch, with a dignified and compassionate face, looking sadly at the people kneeling below.

"Benefactor Gu, the Buddhist scriptures you requested have been copied." A clear, cold voice stood in front of Gu Qingqiu, blocking her view. It was a person wearing a simple monk's robe, with a smooth, clean head without a single hair, which made his features appear even more outstanding. His eyes were usually calm and deep, as if he had seen through the turmoil of the world.

...Is it really that exciting? Gu Qingqiu was stunned and didn't stop until the monk called out "Benefactor Gu" again. Only then did she snap out of her daze and follow the monk to get the so-called Buddhist scriptures.

The monk's steps were steady, each stride almost identical, as if he had practiced deliberately. The two wandered around the back of the temple, turning and twisting, surrounded by a bamboo forest, with no sign of other people, in complete silence, with only the sound of their footsteps audible.

On the way, System 057 transmitted the relevant world background, but Gu Qingqiu might have to "disappoint" it once again.

If it were something else, Gu Qingqiu's thoughts would probably be, "Oh my god! The male lead is actually a monk! Oh no! He's not interested in women, how am I supposed to get close to him?! This is hellish, sob sob! Getting a monk to break his vows is such a difficult thing!"

But now, the thought that such a man would fall in love with her in the future, and would disregard worldly norms and her own ethics to be intimate with her, actually fills her with excitement and anticipation. She even feels that she is no different from those men who enjoy watching beautiful women perform erotic dances on live stream.

Their destination was the monks' residence in the mountains. Gu Qingqiu couldn't help but think that this plot was really unreasonable. What kind of respectable monk would be so close to a female pilgrim and spend time alone with her? Wasn't this just creating an opportunity for her?

So, after the two entered the dormitory, Gu Qingqiu hooked the door shut with her leg. As the monk bent down to pick up the scriptures from the table, she hugged him from behind and called his name: "Jingguan..."

The monk was so startled he almost dropped the book. He pried Gu Qingqiu's hand away, and a hint of panic appeared on his usually calm expression: "Benefactor Gu, what do you mean by this?"

The room was simply furnished, with a faint smell of ink and sandalwood. It should have been a place of peace and tranquility, but the two people's current behavior was clearly out of place with this environment.

Gu Qingqiu's voice became even sweeter. She herself felt like a seductive forest fairy, but she was indeed doing it on purpose. It was possible that she was attracted by beauty or wanted to complete the mission, but those were secondary factors. The most important thing was that she wanted to verify her conjecture and also wanted to provoke... System 057, or the bottom line of the person behind the system.

The monk's behavior was just as Gu Qingqiu had imagined. Although he looked panicked and even closed his eyes and frantically chanted "Amitabha," he seemed to be coyly resisting and half-heartedly accepting.

At dawn, the birdsong in the woods awakened Gu Qingqiu. She had forgotten to close the window properly last night, and now the faint light of dawn began to pierce the darkness of the forest, gradually illuminating the once dim woods. The fresh air was filled with the scent of damp earth and the fragrance of forest plants—the aroma of nature, soothing and comforting.
