Chapter 95 Punishment
But, how could the prince become such a waste?
With his skills, he could have easily escaped unscathed from a small situation like the one the night before.
"Forget it. No matter who saved me, the guards in the palace need to be strengthened. How can the Qi Palace be treated like a vegetable market, allowing people to come and go as they please?"
"In the future, I don't want to see this kind of thing happen."
"yes."
*Ningguo Mansion.
Afternoon.
Yun Wanning woke up from her sleep. After being confused for a moment, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look out the window.
The setting sun was as red as blood and the sky was gradually getting darker.
She couldn't help but feel suspicious.
[Eh, did I sleep too deeply? ]
[Why are Su Qianxue and the system so quiet today? ]
[It’s getting late, and the three-day deadline is less than half a day away. Why is Su Qianxue still not taking any action? ]
[Isn't she going to do the mission anymore? ]
[No, no, no, how could Su Qianxue not do the mission? I must have slept too deeply and didn't hear their conversation, so I missed the highlight.]
[Ah, so now, has Su Qianxue completed the task? 】
[Has the dog system been upgraded? Has any powerful features been unlocked? ]
[If I had known earlier, I would have resisted taking a nap at noon. I just took a nap and completely lost control of Su Qianxue's mission progress. What a loss...]
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it. Yun Wanning was feeling annoyed when the conversation between Su Qianxue and the system suddenly rang in her mind. She immediately became excited.
[Oh, I didn't miss the highlight? ]
[I just woke up and met Su Qianxue preparing to do a mission. What a coincidence. 】
[Let me see how Su Qianxue will complete the task and whether the system will get enough energy to upgrade.]
After finishing the thought, Yun Wanning closed her eyes and listened attentively.
[Host, I have sent you the layout of the Prince Qi's mansion. Follow the arrow and you will find a dog hole.] [This dog hole is in the backyard of the mansion. After you go in, I will give you a hint. As long as you listen to me, you will be able to avoid all the guards and successfully find the hero.] "Okay."
Outside the Prince of Qi’s Palace.
A slender and graceful figure hid stealthily behind a big tree. After identifying the direction, she followed the arrow in her mind.
Soon, Su Qianxue found the dog hole covered by dead grass. She squatted down, looked at the dog hole with disgust, and kept preparing herself mentally.
"System, this dog hole looks so dirty. It's full of dead grass and mud. Is there a snake in it?"
[……][Host, are you crazy? It's winter now, where did the snake come from?] Su Qianxue was embarrassed. Okay, I was so nervous that I forgot that snakes hibernate.
“Oh, there won’t be any rats, will there?”
System crash!!!
[Do you still want to complete the mission?] Yun Wanning couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard the system's gnashing voice.
[Hahahaha, this Su Qianxue and the system are making me laugh to death. ]
[When encountering a host like Su Qianxue, the system will probably collapse, hahaha. 】
[Speaking of which, it was not easy for Su Qianxue, a girl, to crawl into such a dark and dirty dog hole. ]
[I never expected that the method the system found for Su Qianxue to get close to Mo Yuanhao was to drill through a dog hole, hahaha.]
[Interesting, really interesting.]
Hearing her hearty laughter, Yun Wanyao beside her couldn't help but chuckle, and then a gleam of light flashed across her eyes.
It’s not easy for Su Qianxue to complete the task.
"Do!"
We have no idea what's going on over there.
Su Qianxue gritted her teeth, pretended to be ready to die, pushed aside the dry grass and prepared to crawl in, when suddenly the system's urgent warning sounded in her mind.
[Beep, a dangerous person is approaching, host, please pay attention!] [Host, be careful, a dangerous person is approaching you...] The sudden warning sound made Su Qianxue stunned.
She turned around subconsciously and saw a black shadow falling from the sky. Then, she felt a sharp pain in her neck, her consciousness went black, and her body fell limply to the ground.
She was knocked unconscious.
[Damn it, it’s the Yun family again. Why do they always come to ruin our plans?][Could it be that they really know about my existence?][And they know about our mission?][What kind of world is this? Why can someone detect the system?][This host is so useless. She doesn’t know any martial arts. Anyone can attack her. Now she’s being targeted by the Yun family. How can we complete this mission?][……] After Su Qianxue fainted, the system collapsed and screamed in her mind.
On the other side, Yun Wanning was also confused.
【What?】
[Su Qianxue was knocked unconscious again? A member of the Yun family? ]
[Did my sister really send someone to keep an eye on Su Qianxue the entire time, and attack her as soon as she made a move? ]
[If that's true, then my sister is awesome. ]
[Also, it’s already so late now, Su Qianxue was knocked unconscious, she definitely can’t complete this mission, not bad, not bad, sister did a great job. ]
Yun Wanyao: “…”
No, no, no, it's not her. This whole thing has nothing to do with her.
Outside the Prince of Qi’s Palace.
After knocking Su Qianxue unconscious, Yun Wanye turned around and left calmly.
As soon as he left, Su Qianxue was discovered by the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion, who reported the matter to Mo Yuanhao.
"Your Majesty, the guards came to report that there is a woman unconscious next to the dog hole outside the palace. Uh, it's Miss Su..."
At the end of his speech, Ting Feng lowered his head and his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
This woman had been pestering their prince all the time, trying every possible means to flatter him, and the prince simply hated her to death.
After finally being quiet for a while, they thought she had really given up on the prince, but they didn't expect that it was just their wishful thinking.
This woman is actually starting to make trouble again.
There are so many places to go to, but he chose to faint next to the dog hole outside their palace. Who would believe him if he said he didn't want to do something bad to the prince?
Hearing this, Mo Yuanhao was slightly startled and looked up at Tingfeng.
"What did you say?"
"Reporting to the prince, while the guards were on patrol, they found a woman fainted next to the dog hole outside the palace. After checking, they recognized her as Miss Su from the Taiwei Mansion. Miss Su's identity is special, and the guards dare not deal with her casually, so please ask your subordinates to ask the prince for instructions."
"Su Qianxue?"
"yes."
Mo Yuanhao frowned. How could this woman appear next to the dog hole outside his house?
Why does it sound like she's trying to sneak into the palace through a dog hole? Could it be that she still has feelings for him? But at the last winter banquet, it didn't seem like that.
"Send someone to the Taiwei Mansion to tell them to take the person away."
"yes."
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.
Taiwei Mansion.
Su Jian was beaten violently and carried into the palace covered in blood. Before the doctor who was called in to treat him left, news came that Su Qianxue had fainted outside Prince Qi's palace.
In an instant, Mrs. Su felt dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
Why was her Xue'er so troublesome? She was knocked unconscious and stripped naked the night before yesterday, but today she sneaked out of the house again, ran to the Prince Qi's house, and fainted outside the house.
This matter cannot be covered up. It won’t be long before it spreads completely.
Mrs. Su knew without a doubt how people in the streets and teahouses would laugh at their Su family tomorrow.
Looking at Su Jian, who was covered in blood, and then thinking about Su Qianxue whose situation was unclear, Madam Su felt suffocated.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
She panted hard for a moment, put her hand to her chest, and found the servant's urgent instructions.
"Quick, send someone to bring the young lady back. It's freezing cold. What if she gets frozen?"
The servants drove off at full speed and brought Su Qianxue back at nightfall.
When she was brought back, her face had turned blue from the cold, and her hands felt like lumps of ice. Madam Su wiped her tears in distress and scolded the servants harshly, complaining that the heating was not hot enough.
midnight.
The mission time is over.
Su Qianxue's consciousness suddenly entered a chaotic space, and the cold voice of the system rang in her ears.
[Ding ding, the mission time is over, the mission is not completed, please prepare to accept the punishment.] Hearing this, Su Qianxue quickly protested in dissatisfaction.
"What? There's a punishment for not completing the mission? Why haven't I heard you mention that before?"
“I don’t accept it. You are not allowed to punish me. If you punish me, I will not take on any missions in the future… ahhhh.”
Before she could finish her words, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from above her head, and Su Qianxue's consciousness seemed to be broken into countless pieces. She screamed in pain.
My entire consciousness was almost shattered.
The scream made Yun Wanning frown.
[Oh my god, what the hell is this? There is a punishment for not completing the task? ]
[Just listen to Su Qianxue's heart-wrenching screams and you'll know how painful it is. This system is really too cruel.]
[It was simply an unexpected disaster. Su Qianxue is so miserable! ]
[No, I can't sympathize with her. If she completes the mission, it will be our family that suffers...]
Before she could finish her thought, the system's voice continued to ring in her mind.
[Beep, the punishment has been completed, please refresh the task.] "I, I'll refresh your sister, whoever wants to do this task can do it, I won't do it anymore."
"Why are you punishing me? It's not my fault that the mission was not completed. You are useless and can't help at all, but you are so ruthless when punishing me."
"You piece of shit, please get out of my body and find another host. I won't serve you anymore!"
It took her a long time to recover, but her consciousness was still in great pain. Su Qianxue clenched her fists and cursed at the chaotic space.
[Really? Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. Are you sure you want to untie me?] [If you untie me, you will die immediately. Calculating the time, it has been a week since the Winter Feast. Your body should have become smelly by now.] Su Qianxue: "..."
M will use that to threaten her.
Well, it's her fault for being afraid of death!
When Su Qianxue heard that she would die after being untied, her momentum immediately weakened.
"But you didn't tell me before that there would be a punishment if the mission failed. Why didn't you make it clear earlier?"
If she had made it clear earlier, she would definitely be very proactive and do everything she could to complete the task. Why would she slack off and give up? [You didn't ask.] "..."
"Can't you tell me without me asking? Also, didn't I fail my first mission? Why didn't I accept the punishment?"
[That was because it was the host's first mission, so there was a chance for trial and error.] Su Qianxue: "..."
Is this possible?
Okay.
"So, from now on, if I fail to complete a task within the specified time, I will be punished, right?"
[Yes, so please take the task seriously and complete it actively. After the task fails ten times, the punishment will be doubled.] [After the task fails thirty times, the host will be killed immediately. For the sake of the host's life, please cooperate actively. Thank you for your cooperation.] Su Qianxue: "..."
"Okay, I will complete the task seriously, but can we change the communication mode?"
"Since you already suspect that the new heroine knows about your existence and can fully grasp our mission, that's why she appears at critical moments to sabotage us. I think it's very likely that the new heroine knows our conversations."
"In that case, we can no longer communicate in this way about mission-related matters in the future."
[Okay, there is also a text mode, so the host can switch the mode himself.] "Okay."
Su Qianxue immediately asked how to switch the mode and switched the communication mode, which surprised Yun Wanning.
[This, this, this, she is indeed the heroine, her brain is so quick, after only suffering two losses, she has already concluded the reason for the failure of the mission. ]
[Tsk, after she switched the communication mode with the system, can I still control their communication? ]
[Also, can I control the system that my sister is bound to? ]
[If I can't do that, my sister won't be able to grasp Su Qianxue's mission and all her movements in the future, and it won't be easy to disrupt her from completing the mission. ]
[Alas, the difficulty of my sister's mission has increased. 】
[By the way, if my sister is really bound to the system, will she also receive tasks issued by the system? ]
[If she fails to complete the mission, will her system punish her like Su Qianxue's dog system? ]
[And, after failing dozens of times, will they be forcibly wiped out? ]
[It’s hard to say. It seems I need to practice quickly, otherwise when my sister faces the same problem as Su Qianxue, I will be helpless and can only watch my sister being wiped out.]
[Oh, it's been so long since I heard Su Qianxue's conversation with the system. It seems that after she changed her communication mode, I really can't hear it anymore.]
After waiting patiently for a while and seeing no movement from Su Qianxue or the system, Yun Wanning closed her eyes and began to cultivate her mental power.
The other side.
After switching the voice function to text mode, Su Qianxue randomly refreshed the tasks according to the instructions issued by the system.
The task was refreshed quickly, and she was dumbfounded when she saw the task prompt on the system panel.
'Task content: Please get close to Mo Yuanhao within half a month, stimulate Mo Yuanhao's favorability, and complete a close contact.'
Tip: The current number of mission failures is 2. When the number of failures accumulates to 10 times, the penalty will be doubled. I hope the host will work hard to complete the mission.
Why is it another mission related to Mo Yuanhao?
This time there is even an additional favorability level. What is favorability level?
