7 Chapter 7 Superlatives
◎In his eyes, you have an indescribable attraction◎
Yuliu's ears are almost callused from listening so much.
Yunhe seemed very determined to stay.
But it was obvious that Yuliu didn't understand why he was so persistent.
"Then let's talk about it after you get better." She glanced at Yun He and said casually, her nose trembling slightly, and she snorted in an ambiguous way. She stood up and said, "I'll go see Li Shengshou. What took you so long to boil the medicine?"
It has indeed been a long time.
The two of them seemed to be just sitting there chatting and talking, but it was already time for the golden wheel to set in the west.
The setting sun was half hidden behind the golden, red and purple clouds, leaving only the last rays of light.
Yuliu stood under the willow tree in the outer courtyard, admiring the scenery for a while. Li Shengshou finally arrived, carrying a bowl of thick black porcelain soup. Unable to perform a formal ceremony, he simply nodded slightly at Yuliu, "Hello, Miss Yu."
Hearing this, Yuliu nodded, her eyes falling on the bowl of medicine still steaming. Suddenly, she smiled and said to Li Shengshou warmly, "Shengshou, you've been stewing this medicine for several hours. It must have been very hard, right?"
Yuliu's smile was so genuine that anyone who saw it could feel that she was full of care.
Li Shengshou couldn't figure out if the host was blaming him for being slow or what, so he just laughed and changed the subject, asking, "It took a while to simmer it, but I wonder how Young Master Yun is doing?"
"Yunhe? He's fine."
Yuliu tilted her head slightly and smiled, the filigree jade hairpin on her head swaying in a beautiful arc as she moved. Without even glancing at Li Shengshou's expression, she said as if in revenge, "It's just that you can sit there calmly even though blood is almost all over the floor. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Shengshou has arrived at the right time, too. Go and show him!"
After Yuliu finished saying what she wanted to say, she didn't care that Li Shengshou's expression had changed drastically due to her few words, and went to find Yumei and Fangyue, whom she had sent away earlier, without even turning back.
After Yuliu walked out of the warm room where the charcoal fire was burning, and then stepped into the back room, the first feeling she had was the dim light.
There were only a few candles lit in the room, and the dim light of the setting sun and the stars was in the room. However, there were too many objects piled up in the back room, so Yuliu had to take out the candlesticks for lighting before raising her hand to lift the door curtain. As soon as she entered, she saw a person squatting in front of the rows of large mahogany makeup boxes that reached her knees.
Yuliu knew that this person must be Fangyue, but she waited until she got closer and stopped a few steps behind the person before she asked in surprise, "Fangyue, why are you alone here?"
The back room of the mansion had always been used as a storehouse, and things were piled up in a mess. Fang Yue had obviously not expected her delicate mistress to come here in person. Her hands were a little flustered as she counted the items, but she still placed the pearl hairpins and jade rings neatly on the velvet cloth in the treasure box, stood up and replied, "Yes, I'm the only one in this back room..."
Fang Yue lowered her head and asked in a low voice with obvious embarrassment, "Miss, why are you here? It's dirty and messy here. It's easy to dirty your dress."
"Why? I can't come here?" Yuliu asked with a hint of joking. "If I don't come, are you planning to count all these things by yourself in this dark room?"
Fangyue remained silent.
Although both are Yuliu's personal maids, she is different from Yumei. Yumei came from the palace and has someone to support her.
"What? Yumei was lazy and left all the work to you, and you really thought you were going to swallow this loss without saying a word?"
When Yuliu saw Li Shengshou arriving late in the yard just now, she already had some guesses in her mind - she was afraid that the slow-cooking of the medicine was fake, and that he was stopped by Yumei, the old boss's family.
Now that I've come here, there's no need to ask. Just looking at Fangyue's expression, which is a mixture of "guilty" and "fear", I know that Yumei must have said something threatening to her.
Yuliu handed the candlestick to Fangyue. The flickering candlelight stretched their shadows, interweaving them on the floor piled high with wooden boxes. "Everyone should be in their proper place, fulfill their duties, and do their job. If Yumei always acts this way, why should I pay you both the same amount of money?"
Yumei is a person with ulterior motives. Regardless of whether she poisoned him or not, Yuliu would not keep such a hidden danger around him. She would have to be eliminated sooner or later, but he just had to find a good opportunity.
On the other hand, Fangyue is a diligent and hardworking person. Yuliu wants to use her, but is worried about her timid nature.
Fangyue blinked, a little surprised when she heard that, but she was not sure what Yuliu meant. She nodded in a daze, hesitating and not daring to speak.
Yuliu imitated the way Yunhe chatted with her before and waited patiently for a response. While waiting, she suddenly remembered an old story.
Fangyue used to be a maid in the Ministry of Revenue's family. However, the eldest daughter of the family had a bad temper. When she was bored, she liked to play tricks on people. Seeing that Fangyue was honest, she asked her to pick out a few green beans from three pounds of black beans in the middle of the night. Poor Fangyue stayed up for half the night but still couldn't find them all, so she was kicked out.
No wonder Fangyue’s eyes were red.
"There are so many things, it won't take more than a day to count them. Besides, the lighting here isn't very good. Remember to turn on the light when you're working, or you might hurt your eyes." Yuliu sighed and said in feigned dissatisfaction, "My hands are sore from lifting them, can't you help me take them?"
Fangyue quickly took the candlestick and held it with both hands, carefully holding it as if it were a treasure. "Yes, young lady, you are kind-hearted. I will keep these instructions in mind and pay attention to them in the future!"
Yuliu thought it was normal at the time and didn't take it to heart at all, but she still smiled gently out of habit.
Until the night when Yuliu was half asleep, the system suddenly popped up again:
"Congratulations, host. The system has detected that your capture progress on Fang Yue is 98.5%, reaching the highest capture level."
"Additional note: The light you send in the darkness will illuminate you in her eyes. To her, you possess great charisma and appeal. If necessary, she might even be able to perform miracles for you."
The system continued to broadcast this long string of information, and only then did it notice that Yuliu's expression was not right: "Host, Fangyue is the first person in this world to reach the highest level of attack power. Why are you not happy?"
"I'm very happy, aren't I?" Yuliu said with a smile. "If you can report on time next time, I'd certainly be happy. But if you always show up unexpectedly when I'm resting, then such happiness might be a bit too much for my fragile heart to bear."
"You can still sleep at this time?" The system was surprised.
"Why can't I sleep?" Yuliu's eyes widened, feeling that the system was completely unreasonable. "People need to rest when they are alive!"
"The host's rest period is after the mission is completed. During the mission, everything will be based on the mission."
Yuliu felt that she might not be able to convince the evil capitalist system, so she gave up on making excuses and asked directly, "So, what do you mean, what happened to my mission?"
The system said: "Su Yunyue was found by Xiao Tianmin."
Yuliu: “Oh.”
“……?”
The system thought Yuliu was so calm because she hadn't reacted yet, so it emphasized it again with a more straightforward sentence: "The hero has taken the heroine home!"
"Wow, Fourth Prince Xiao is incredibly efficient. He finally found his wife after half a month of missing her. Not bad!" Yu Liu's rage only made her smile even brighter. Her tone was deliberately sincere, and she was unabashedly ambivalent. "So what do you want me to do now? Keep up the white lotus persona and run to the heroine in the middle of the night to exaggerate things for the Fourth Prince and cause misunderstandings?"
System: "...Then you should rest. I am sorry for disturbing you."
really.
The Xiao and Su couple's love story has lasted for millions of words because of various misunderstandings that kept happening. And more than one million of these words were created by the white lotus "Yuliu".
So, looking at it from another perspective, as long as Yuliu doesn't die on his own initiative, the difficulty of the task will automatically drop by half.
Originally, when the system was beeping, Yuliu wanted to rest, but when the system actually tried to persuade her to sleep, she smiled and refused: "No, it's a long night and I'm alone on my pillow. This opportunity is rare. Why don't you chat with me? What about? Um... Let me tell you, didn't you only report on the progress of the main characters before? Why did you start paying attention to characters like Fangyue this time?"
In fact, the system used to only report the progress of the strategy between the male and female protagonists, and was completely indifferent to the situation of other people.
Speaking of this system, he suddenly became proud: "Because in your last world, the scope of the system's perception is the largest."
"Oh, the maximum scope of authority? But you can't even give an explanation of the side rewards?" The disguise in Yuliu's previous speech was to lower the system's vigilance, and then kill it by surprise at this moment - she was still thinking about Yunhe's incomprehensible side reward.
The system was clearly bewildered by Yuliu's sudden barrage of questions. It paused for a moment before responding awkwardly, "Yes, this side quest reward is suspected to be subjective, rather than objectively real. The system doesn't have the authority to query or explain it."
Then, with a kind of urgency that seemed to resent the fact that one day it would lose face like this, and therefore eager to prove that it was truly capable, the system proactively mentioned a character other than the protagonist to the host for the first time: "Host, are you curious about anything else about Yunhe? Please trust the system, it will definitely give you an accurate and detailed answer!"
This was a rare opportunity, so Yu Liu certainly wouldn't give up. He asked directly, "What's my progress on conquering Yun He?"
Yuliu asked this, of course not because she wanted to capture Yunhe, but because she really wanted to know why Yunhe was so determined to stay when it was clearly the first time they met.
Is this loss-making business done for some other purpose or out of selfish motives?
System: "Congratulations, host. The system has detected that you are..."
"An update of the character information has been detected. Please wait a moment."
"Information updated."
"Congratulations, host. The system has detected that your progress in conquering Yunhe is 50.0%, reaching the mid-range level of [Everything is Possible]."
Everything is possible?
Yuliu was not satisfied with this ambiguous description and asked, "Where are the additional notes?"
So, like squeezing toothpaste, the system was forced to continue replenishing by Yuliu:
"Additional note: A glance at someone brings a thousand years to life, a first sight brings a new life. In his eyes, you possess... This content exceeds the system's authority and cannot be explained..."
"Description correction..."
Yuliu: “…”
She felt that the system's desperate attempt to save face was stubborn and pitiful. She was thinking, "If the system really can't give an explanation, we might as well let each other go and rest early," when she suddenly heard the system's usually calm tone suddenly become confused, bewildered, and puzzled, as if it had encountered a situation that had never occurred before.
The system says:
"In his eyes, you have an indescribable attraction."
