The blackening value she had painstakingly accumulated was instantly increased by Xuan Tu's sudden attack.
"System, if I want to reset Xuan Tu's corruption value, do I need to kill that Heavenly Demon Gu first and free Xuan Tu from the Earth Core Clan's control?"
[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked the correct strategy.]
Xin Sui clutched his head and let out a wail, feeling as if he too had a headache.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
[Because telling you earlier wouldn't have made a difference.]
Xin Sui was speechless.
Because she found that what the system said was correct.
Even if she knew now, wouldn't she still be helpless?
How can we cure the Heavenly Demon Gu?
[The Heavenly Demon Gu is bound to Xuan Tu's soul; it lives when he lives and dies when he dies.]
[Unless you can find a Soul-Cleansing Fruit that can cleanse the soul, the Heavenly Demon Gu will forever follow him.]
Xin Sui: "Where is the Soul-Purifying Fruit?"
[I don't know either.]
"If even you don't know, how am I supposed to complete this mission?"
"You said before that the Heavenly Demon Gu feeds on various foul energies such as death energy, yin energy, and resentment energy. So as long as Xuan Tu kills someone, it will continue to grow stronger."
"As it grows stronger, its influence on the Xuantu also increases. When the Xuantu is affected by it, headaches occur more frequently, its bloodlust intensifies, and it kills more people..."
"Isn't this a vicious cycle?!"
She used to think the mission was promising, but now she's not so sure.
She not only has to fight against Xuan Tu, but also against the Heavenly Demon Gu in his mind.
Can she outmaneuver her?
[You can try to stop Xuan Tu from killing people.]
Do you think I can stop it?
She couldn't even stop Xuan Tu from killing her, let alone stop him from killing others.
Oh wait, not long ago she also stopped Xuantu from killing Shui Duoduo.
But it came at the cost of two lives.
If she had to do this every time, where would she get so many lives to trade?
It's better to die sooner and be reborn sooner.
[Keep going, host. I believe in you.]
Xin Sui: "Don't give me this dry chicken soup, give me something practical."
"By the way, you asked me to save Shui Duoduo before, which was an emergency temporary mission, right?"
"I've finished, what's the reward?"
[...]
The system wanted to say that it had not issued any task at all, but the host's warning was still ringing in its ears, and it was somewhat in the wrong.
Having no other choice, he compromised, saying: [The host has completed the mission of rescuing the male lead, and is rewarded with one chance to win a prize in the in-game store.]
Xin Sui gave a cold laugh.
"System, are you planning to let me win another bottle of hair removal cream?"
"You might as well just reward me with system coins. I don't need much, just 100 coins."
[Host, you should at least have some leeway with your demands. 50 coins at most.]
"An eighth-tier defensive artifact + my two lives + a doll flower that can heal the dead and restore flesh to bones, isn't all of this worth 100 system coins?"
"System, even if you're going to exploit me, there should be limits."
