Chapter 379: The Terrifying Livestream Room (34)

“Each player has their own identity and a storyline to solve. These storylines may overlap or they may not, so we don’t need to meet other players.”

"So what is your mission?"

"To become emperor."

"And what about my task?"

At this point, the guidance system says, "Player Chen Yao's mission: Maintain the Chen family's rule."

Wen Yan: "!!!"

Therefore, he was a traitor and a villain, while she was a royal princess. They were natural enemies, and the hatred between their parents was irreconcilable.

This is practically the standard male and female protagonists of a tragic romance novel.

It has to be said that the design of this live stream task is quite interesting; it must have been inspired by reading several angst-filled novels.

"So we're going back to your house? You should hurry back. I need to take a shower and change my clothes. I woke up to find myself locked in a coffin. I barely managed to escape, but then I was chased and killed. I had to become a beggar to earn money for food. I'm still very hungry."

"Yes, everything is ready at home."

Wen Wan followed Gu Li all the way to his mansion, and then realized that he was indeed a golden thigh, with power, influence and money. Gu Li got off the carriage, then reached out and lifted Wen Wan down by the waist, and then led her into the room.

Do you know anything about my identity?

"The unfavored sixth princess, your mother was a singer who died during childbirth, and then you were adopted by the empress."

"Then who should I marry?"

Wen Wan asked, "When I woke up, I was already in a coffin." Gu Li continued, "The person you married is the god worshipped in this country."

Wen Yan: "???"

"But no one has ever seen him. Legend has it that he lives in a tomb. All the previous players are dead. You are very lucky."

Wen Yan: "..."

Have you seen it before?

Gu Li: "I've met you."

"Can you win?"

Gu Li: "I don't know."

Wen Wan tightened her grip on Gu Li's hand, "Then you have to protect me, you're my father."

"Um?"

“You’re my brother, you’re my own brother, I don’t know what you’re complaining about. If someone else wanted to be my father, I wouldn’t acknowledge them. You got such a big daughter for free and you’re still not happy.”

Gu Li: "..."

Upon entering the mansion, Wen Wan noticed that the temperature was rather low, making her feel uneasy. The maids and servants also seemed lifeless, only showing a lively expression when they saw her.

Afterwards, Wen Wan took a hot shower, then changed into the clothes Gu Li had given her, dressed according to the system's instructions, before going out.

Looking at the table full of delicious food in front of her, Wen Wan's mouth watered. "Brother, you're my own brother."

Then they began to enjoy the food, only putting down their chopsticks when they were almost bursting with hunger.

He let out a burp.

"I wonder if Qi Mingyue has arrived yet. If she were here, I definitely wouldn't be so unlucky."

Gu Li: "Here, it's rare to meet someone twice."

"Impossible," Wen Wan thought. "She's the female lead, how could she never meet him? Otherwise, how can the romance continue?"

After Wen Wan finished eating, Gu Li ordered the men to leave.

As night fell, Wen Wan asked curiously, "Aren't there any NPCs here to guide you through the quests?"

"No, each player simply needs to complete their own task."

"What dangers might there be?"

Gu Li: "In reality, this is an extremely real world. Being killed by these people also means death."

Are there any monster NPCs?

"Yes, at night, man-eating monsters appear in the city. As soon as the moon comes out, the monsters will go out and hunt for people's hearts."

Wen Wan's eyes widened. "Will he come into the house?"

"Possibly."

Wen Wan grabbed Gu Li's hand. "Let's share a room. I think it'll be safer that way."

Gu Li did not refuse, so that night, Wen Wan slept in Gu Li's room. She thought she would take the initiative to sleep on the floor, but in the end, she was pulled to the bed, and Gu Li took the initiative to sleep on the floor.

Wen Wan: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

Despite saying that, the person still climbed into bed on their own and fell asleep soon after.

After all, she was completely exhausted on the first day.

Wen Wan had no idea what happened that night. She slept until the next morning, and when she woke up, she found that Gu Li was gone, and the bedding on the floor was also gone.

Wen Wan got up and went out. Her maid was waiting at the door. "Princess."

Where is Gu Li?

"The prince has gone to the palace and has instructed us to help the princess with her washing up."

After washing up, Wen Wan didn't go anywhere to play. Anyway, she wasn't like most cannon fodder characters who didn't know their own limitations, didn't have the lucky charm of the female lead, and thought they were capable, only to ruin themselves.

A few hours later, Gu Li returned.

Then he brought her some pastries, and Wen Wan started her usual catchphrase again, "You're my own brother."

Gu Li: "I have something to say."

Wen Wan asked while eating pastries. "Tell me what it is, I'd be willing to go through fire and water for you."

"Marry me."

"Cough...cough cough..."

Wen Wan stared wide-eyed at Gu Li, "What did you say?"

"The news that I brought you back yesterday is already widely known, and the Emperor intends to bestow you upon me in marriage."

"Wait, didn't he already sacrifice me to the gods?"

"If you hadn't met me, you would have continued to be sacrificed to the gods. If you had married me, you would have been safe for the time being."

Wen Wan: "Okay."

This time, Gu Li was a little surprised. "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Wen Wan: "Why should I consider it? Anyway, I don't want to marry such a terrible person, and you and I both know that this is fake, so I don't need to consider it."

Gu Li: "Okay."

"Then I'll take care of it."

Somehow, the wedding was arranged, and Wen Wan became the Ghost King's consort in her wedding dress. This shocked everyone, since everyone knew that if Ghost King Gu Li hated anyone the most, it would be the royal family.

Many people believe that this Ghost King will definitely overthrow the Emperor and become the Emperor himself.

Who would have thought that things would suddenly take a turn for the better? Gu Li actually married the emperor's daughter. No one knows what will happen next.

Afterwards, the emperor summoned Wen Wan to the palace.

Then they took turns brainwashing Wen Wan, who verbally agreed, but when she got back she told Gu Li everything. After that, no matter what the palace said, Wen Wan never went there again.

The two pretended to be a loving couple. According to Gu Li, the better their relationship was, the less likely the emperor would kill her, nor would he dare to kill her.

Wen Wan knew that Gu Li was manipulating power and causing bloodshed in the court. His mission was to become emperor, a difficult task, because one wrong step would lead to utter ruin.

Wen Wan felt she had gotten a great deal, so she went along with it even more.

In the morning, they would eagerly escort him to court, and in the afternoon, they would pick him up.

She even had the household prepare delicious food every day without repeating the same dish, and she even taught herself massage techniques to ensure that the male lead could comfortably complete his missions before taking her away.
