Ning Qing's eyes were covered, and everything in front of her became indistinct and unclear.

Feeling the weight, Ning Qing knew that things were not going to end well today.

"You... let's make a deal."

Ning Qing, adhering to the principle that even if she were to die, she would choose a more comfortable way to die, discussed it with Jun Cheng.

Sensing that the person wasn't moving, they were clearly waiting for him to continue.

Ning Qing quickly said, "Um... I'm afraid of pain."

Ning Qing muttered softly, keeping her voice within the range that the other person could hear.

Then a clear, cheerful laugh was heard.

Ning Qing pretended to be shy, his cheeks flushed red, and he turned his head slightly so that people could see his reddened ears.

Sure enough, the fish took the bait.

Jun Cheng gently stroked Ning Qing's delicate ears.

She gently coaxed, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle."

Ning Qing's eyes were red, and tears welled up in her eyes, swirling around.

Those watching couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Don't cry, I won't let you feel pain," Jun Cheng said, his heart trembling as he saw his beloved looking like this. He gently wiped away the tears from Ning Qing's eyes with his trembling hand.

"Liar," she said, biting her lower lip, looking like she was trying to be strong and not let her tears fall, but she was actually feeling very wronged.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Jun Cheng finally gave in.

"I...I...can do it too," she said softly, but each word was clear, as if she were sure others could hear her.

"You mean?" Jun Chengwu understood and fell silent.

He still wanted to struggle, but then he thought about how he had been forcing things from last night until today, and felt guilty, so he remained silent.

After a while, Juncheng finally gritted his teeth and decided to compromise this time.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time," the voice surprisingly carried a mix of cautiousness, defiance, and helplessness... a range of complex emotions.

Ning Qing was overjoyed. "You little brat, just wait till I get my hands on you!"

Let you be wild and crazy, I can make you bang your head against a wall.

Next, everything fell into place, and Ning Qing finally turned her life around and sang her praises.

The next day, Ning Qing was woken up by the system.

"Ah...ah...host, you've been kidnapped."

The system worked diligently, day and night, trying its best to crawl out of the dark room.

Seeing that Ning Qing's hands and feet were tied, he immediately screamed in fright and quickly woke Ning Qing up.

What big thing happened while it was away?

"As you can see, I've been kidnapped," Ning Qing said, shaking the red ribbon tied around her wrist.

"Host, don't you have your natal sword?"

"Yes, but using it once would reduce one's lifespan by twenty or thirty years. What about the mission?"

"Uh..." This question also stumped the system.

"Who is the kidnapper?" The system just wants to know which bastard has the audacity to kidnap its host.

Do you think you're just a freeloader?

Ning Qing didn't speak, but glanced at the person who brought in the food.

The system was dumbfounded, wondering to itself: Could the kidnapper be the mission target?

The system was utterly astonished by its own idea.

Ning Qing: Be confident, it's exactly what you think.

Jun Cheng placed the food on the bedside table, first helping Ning Qing rinse her mouth, then feeding her.

The system silently watched all of this, feeling that it was all so surreal. Was it still trapped in the dark room and hadn't come out yet? Was this scene just a dream?

To confirm whether it was a dream, the system gritted its teeth and bit down hard, unable to help but cry out in pain, "Ouch!" It really hurts, which means that all of this is real.

The system didn't want to talk anymore; it needed to be quiet. It silently turned around and climbed back into the dark room.
