A certain woman, for some inexplicable reason, became bound to an arrogant and deceptive system. She transmigrates into the bodies of cannon fodder characters in various worlds, fulfilling their wi...
Xuan Yuanlie was fast asleep. Xiang Wan applied creams and lotions to his face, fully utilizing the effects of the Thousand Faces Potion. However, she added some waterproofing material, and without a specific solution, it would be difficult to restore his original appearance.
After the original owner saved him, she let him stay here for a long time, and it was during this time that feelings gradually developed between them. Xuan Yuanlie's subordinates never gave up searching for him, which ultimately led to the scene where they brought the original owner back. But this time is different. Before Xuan Yuanlie's opinion of her completely changes, it's necessary for him to understand the situation on this planet. This is an opportunity for the planet's native inhabitants.
This obscure planet, with its simple and honest people, unremarkable and lacking in resources, was likely the refuge of a general in distress. He would surely repay such a debt after regaining his glory. However, in her past life, there was no trace of it, suggesting it had been secretly eliminated. To prevent anyone from investigating what happened to Xuan Yuanlie during that time, the most likely explanation was that he was deliberately killed by his political enemies. The original owner of this body grew up here and must have had deep feelings for this planet. Now that she had transmigrated, it was necessary to repay this debt of gratitude to be worthy of her sacrifice.
"Hey, I didn't realize the host's awareness had become so high?"
The system sneaked out and started bouncing around. While Xiang Wan's hands were busy, she was giving 007 a lesson in science in her mind.
"The intention behind issuing this mission is obvious, but there might be other hidden threads. You know why I couldn't understand it before. Now that I have, I must do it, so as not to leave any regrets in my life and make this journey worthwhile. Having done so many missions, I've seen and thought a lot. Whether it's right or wrong, I must at least have a clear conscience."
"This system feels like it's starting to have trouble understanding you."
"Thanks to your attribute list, my intelligence is only slightly over half."
...The system silently disappeared. Don't think it didn't understand; this was implying it wasn't even half as intelligent as her. The host now curses the system without using any profanity, unable to find an excuse to punish it, feeling slightly melancholic!
After finishing Xuan Yuanlie's face, Xiang Wan had some materials left. After thinking for a moment, she painted a blue dragon and a white tiger on both of his arms. Hmm, that would do justice to his fierce and menacing appearance.
That's right, Xiang Wan slightly altered his eye lines, the width of his nose, and the curve of his mouth based on his face shape. Up close, his features were still the same, but from a distance, it was completely different; the style had changed entirely, and no one would associate him with the great general who swept the universe.
After packing up my art supplies, it was already evening. I went to the beach to set up the traps, and surprisingly, I caught something. On the way back, I bought some new seasonings and cooked a sumptuous seafood feast when I got home.
Xuanyuan Lie slowly woke up, smelling the delicious aroma of the food. He didn't say anything, but his stomach was rumbling loudly, so loud that it could be heard outside the door. He blushed and sat up awkwardly, watching Xiang Wan bustling in and out, carrying food and dishes to the table, just like an ordinary woman preparing a meal for the family.
"Pah, what are you thinking? How could this woman be so virtuous?" Thinking of the medicine he drank at noon, Xuan Yuanlie was furious. It was the first time in his life he'd been outmaneuvered by a girl who hadn't even grown her first hair; his face turned as black as soot.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat."
Xiang Wan called out to him and then sat down to serve himself rice.
"Did you prepare the medicine at noon?"
As soon as Xuan Yuanlie opened his mouth, saliva involuntarily dripped down his throat. He had only eaten a few shellfish all day, and they were mostly mud and sand; now he could eat a whole cow. It was quite a struggle to resist looking at the food, so he changed the subject, intending to figure out what had happened at noon first.
"Have you ever seen someone like me? Enduring your unwarranted criticism while simultaneously trying to help you recover. If I really wanted to get back at you, you'd be dead a million times over by now. You know better than I what the medicine from lunch was for. Sometimes, those who are kind to you aren't necessarily good people, and those who are unkind aren't necessarily bad people. Like yesterday evening, you choked me. I knew you meant well, but I was still an innocent victim. I only saved you because your intentions were good..."
"Aren't you going to commit suicide?"
Xuan Yuanlie had grasped the key word, so all the effort Xiang Wan had put in to bring up this topic was worthwhile.
"Nonsense, do you see anyone who wants to commit suicide rolling up their pants and jumping into the water?"
"Then I..."
"So, you owe me. I kindly saved you, only to be misunderstood by you and not even given a kind word. If I don't take care of you, and something happens to you, you'll blame it on me, and I won't be able to explain myself no matter how many mouths I have."
"I...I'll be fine."
"Yes, those who starved to death don't count."
Xuan Yuanlie's stomach growled again, further escalating the awkward atmosphere.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will never forget the person who saved my life, and I will repay them in the future."
"Repay? By offering yourself in return?"
"This..." Xuan Yuanlie was speechless for a moment. He clearly hadn't expected Xiang Wanhui to say such a thing, and his face turned bright red, the color spreading all the way to the roots of his neck.
"Tch!" Xiang Wan chuckled. "You're so easily teased. I don't even know who you are, whether you have a wife, or what kind of person you are. How could I possibly expect you to offer yourself to me? You're overthinking it. Come and eat. Who knows where your next meal will come from?"
Xiang Wan was absolutely right. They didn't have any fish stored at home, and she didn't know what the original owner was thinking. Even just drying some fish for a rainy day would have been fine. Constantly running around for food was just too frustrating.
Xuan Yuanlie watched Xiang Wan eat her meal casually, as if nothing had happened, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why. He silently sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating, his mind completely absorbed by the seafood medley.
It was a simple meal, without any delicacies or extravagant conversation, yet it evoked a feeling of warmth, as if the food before him was the most delicious thing in the world. He would probably never forget it for the rest of his life.
Xiang Wan casually ate her rice, not caring which dishes he liked or disliked. When there were only a few dishes left, she picked up the plate and ate half of it into her own bowl, then poured the rest into Xuan Yuanlie's bowl.
Xuan Yuanlie had never eaten like this before and was somewhat stunned.
"Hurry up, if it weren't for you being here, I could have finished the whole thing by myself. Don't waste food, eat your fill and then you'll have something to do."
Hearing this, Xuan Yuanlie didn't stand on ceremony and quickly finished the food in his bowl. He patted his stomach, feeling like he was only half full. He glanced at Xiang Wan and saw her starting to clear the dishes. Feeling embarrassed to admit he wasn't full, he silently placed the dishes on the table.
Xiang Wan paused in her actions, then sat down and silently stared at Xuan Yuanlie until he blushed deeply. That was right; the first step in training him was to be thicker-skinned than him. If he was embarrassed, then she, Xiang Wan, would be.
Xiang Wan silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart, and then immediately began to dig a pit for Xuan Yuanlie.
