"In principle, the host, that is, Xiang Wan, is just an energy body, that is, a soul. Therefore, you can absorb the energy of sacrifice and can be taken around by this system. When I first saw these values, I didn't want to believe it either. Who wouldn't want to punch someone if they saw their host's level value was so low? Waaah... Later, I realized that Xiang Wan, you didn't have a level to begin with. You only reached your current state after absorbing several soul energies. It's not easy for you."

Before the system showed your level, it couldn't measure your strength. Now that there's a standard, at least we know which direction to strive for, so keep up the good work! The system believes in you!

"Get to the point!" Xiang Wan really wanted to slap the system in the face. Was this the first thing she asked? The system's ability to fool people has certainly improved.

"Oh, that's exactly what I was about to say. Actually, the reason is the same as above. Souls are not gender-specific. It's just that you, the host, habitually think you are a woman, which causes the above problems. It has nothing to do with this system, and I won't take the blame!"

After listening calmly to this so-called explanation, Xiang Wan was speechless. In Xiang Wan's opinion, this self-proclaimed awesome system was only good for amusing herself and relieving boredom. Asking it for abilities and explanations was less worthwhile than focusing on completing her own tasks.

Although we don't know what criteria this chart uses for evaluation, based on her current numbers, all we can do is sigh. This is the tragedy of those at the bottom. Ah, well, let's keep striving!

After this interruption, Xiang Wan quickly fell asleep, until the sun was high in the sky when someone knocked on the door. Half-asleep, Xiang Wan followed the person to the main hall of the Black Mansion, only waking up when she saw Commander Black and his group of concubines, looking completely bewildered.

Hei Kang suddenly appeared and stood beside Xiang Wan, saying to Hei Dashuai, "He doesn't know anything, asking him is useless. Instead of wasting time messing with him, you should manage your people properly."

"That's a bit much. The Marshal is still your father. What kind of attitude is that?"

"General, we're just showing concern for him, and we're not even getting any credit in return."

"Waaaaah, Commander, you have to stand up for us!"

For a time, the women behind Commander Hei were all incredibly skilled at acting, and the hall was filled with their wailing and accusations, so loud it hurt people's ears. Xiang Wan couldn't understand Hei Youde's good fortune with women.

"That's enough! From now on, mind your own business! If there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hei Kang gave a cold shout, grabbed Xiang Wan by the waist, and stepped out of the hall. So, he'd called her over just to watch this show.

"Wait, wasn't it the Commander who sent me? And he just left like that?" Xiang Wan broke free from Hei Kang's embrace as she stepped out of the courtyard. "It's not because of what happened yesterday, is it?"

“Haven’t you noticed,” Hei Kang leaned down, looking at Xiang Wan with a mocking expression, “that the way other people are looking at us is really strange?”

Xiang Wan looked around. As the servants passed by, they would glance up at them before quickly looking down and leaving. Xiang Wan couldn't see anything amiss.

Hei Kang was amused by her bewildered expression. He straightened up, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Those two are probably having a hard time," before walking out of the mansion.

Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment before she realized he was referring to Wu Ziyu and Nangong Feng. In just one short day, Xiang Wan couldn't imagine what could have happened to them.

Seeing that Hei Kang's figure was about to disappear outside the door, Xiang Wan quickly chased after him. How could she miss out on watching such a spectacle?

As expected, Hei Kang went straight to the military camp. Xiang Wan brazenly sneaked in and saw Wu Ziyu and the others doing their daily training, with Nangong Feng beside them. Although the soldiers around them had serious expressions, Xiang Wan could clearly see the occasional eye contact they exchanged. Wu Ziyu and Nangong Feng were clearly positioned a small distance apart from the others. This isolation and scrutiny might be because Wu Ziyu was strong-willed and outwardly showed no signs of distress, but it was a different story for Nangong Feng. This young lady in military uniform had a dark expression throughout, her aura incredibly low; even Xiang Wan, an outsider, could sense it, let alone the soldiers training with her.

There's little intrigue in the military camp; most people are straightforward and express their dissatisfaction immediately. Several soldiers who didn't get along with Nangong Feng deliberately tripped him up, nearly causing him to fall several times. If Wu Ziyu hadn't been there to protect him, it would have been a real embarrassment. This further confirmed the affair between the two.

Xiang Wan was also grinning from ear to ear. In her previous life, at this time, the original owner had been serving others meekly in the Wu family. She had never had such a pleasant time. Watching a little comedy was indeed very enjoyable.

Hei Kang had somehow appeared beside Xiang Wan, quietly watching her smile, watching her laugh, watching her drift off into her own world, watching her become a unique and beautiful sight all by herself.

By the time Xiang Wan realized what was happening, Hei Kang had already shifted his gaze to the group of people training and said to Xiang Wan, "Would you like to try the food in the military camp?"

"OK."

Xiang Wan readily agreed and followed the young marshal into the military camp's mess hall. The mess hall soldiers, quite perceptive, had already prepared a table for the two of them and diligently brought them food. Xiang Wan glanced down and saw that the food was decent, with both meat and vegetables. She happened to be hungry, so she buried her head in her food and began eating without any manners. On the other hand, the man sitting opposite her ate slowly and deliberately, occasionally frowning, but without wasting any food.

Wu Ziyu and Nangong Feng sat together in a completely isolated area, occasionally noticing people whispering and glancing at them. Nangong Feng stood up, intending to get angry, but Wu Ziyu grabbed him and forced him to sit back down angrily.

Clearly, Wu Ziyu had also noticed Xiang Wan. He looked up at her and nodded when Xiang Wan looked over. Nangong Feng's expression stiffened; he didn't look at Xiang Wan and buried himself in his food.

In high spirits, Xiang Wan ate a bit too much and decided to take a walk to digest. Hei Kang had things to do, so he let her go, only instructing her to avoid certain places.

Xiang Wan chose to walk in less crowded areas, rubbing her stomach as she went. As she approached a small grove of trees, she was suddenly pulled behind a large tree. Just as Xiang Wan was about to scream, she saw Wu Ziyu's face inches away, and in fright, she quickly took a step back, her back hitting the tree.

She looked around; the place was surrounded by trees, with only a narrow path beside it, and no one was likely to come by anytime soon. She straightened up and looked up to ask, "Young Master Wu, what are you doing?"

Wu Ziyu leaned closer and whispered, "That's what I want to ask you. Why were you in the Black Mansion, and why were you so close to Young Marshal Hei?"

"Oh, is Young Master Wu here to interrogate me?"

"That's not what I meant. Black Commander isn't a good person; it's better to leave as soon as possible."

"Really? Young Master Wu, are you worried about me?" Xiang Wan blinked and said, "It's been two years since we last met, and Young Master Wu still cares about me. That's truly commendable."
