Hearing the sound, Qi An looked up.
A young woman was seen encased within a transparent sphere of energy, staring at Qi An in astonishment.
Boss Qi smiled; the target group had finally been assembled.
Fu Gui rubbed his hands together, eager to prove himself: "Is this the brain-dead idiot whose head is full of water?"
The woman was the brain-dead tasker Yunyan had mentioned.
After she "died" in Yuan Bai's arms, she originally planned to go to the next world to continue her mission.
That was yet another unfortunate woman who was deceived by a scumbag, who destroyed her entire clan, and was eventually imprisoned and forced into love.
Having just come into contact with the woman's soul and learned the details, the mission taker prepared to repeat the same trick of "dying in your arms and making you regret it."
Suddenly, a strange spatial rift appeared, and she was uncontrollably sucked into it.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back here, and I saw my previous host, Yunyan.
She... she actually got reborn back to the day she caught her husband cheating! What's going on?
Qi An looked up, revealing an innocent smile to the tasker, and said gently:
"Something's gone wrong. Come over here first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
"Oh well."
The mission participant, unaware of what was happening, floated in front of Qi An. Qi An reached out, grabbed the ball of light, and threw it into his sea of consciousness.
"Fugui, treat your guests well."
Fu Gui clenched his fist: "Received."
The mission taker was thrown into Qi An's sea of consciousness in a daze, completely bewildered.
Before I could figure out what was going on, a super sweet-looking girl punched me in the face with her fist.
"Who are you? Ahhh, what are you doing? Stop hitting me... System, system, save me!"
She desperately called for help from her "Most Popular System," only to receive a mechanical response from the system.
"Reporting to the host, an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation has been detected. If you don't want to die, we suggest you just admit defeat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system swiftly initiated the automatic shutdown program, demonstrating to its host what it meant to admit defeat.
Tasker: ...
Why are you, a system, so adept at admitting defeat?
Fu Gui: "Hehe, keep yelling..."
The one-sided beating continued, with the sounds of fists colliding and screams of agony alternating.
At this moment, only Yun Zhihong and Yuan Bai, who both looked horrified, and the maid A-Lian, who was completely stunned, remained standing in the room.
Because in their view, Qi An had just suddenly looked up and smiled at the air, then talked to himself and made a gesture of grabbing at the air.
This bizarre scene was akin to being possessed by a ghost, sending chills down their spines.
"Yunyan, who...who are you talking to?" Yuan Bai swallowed and asked.
"With a woman, what, can't you see?" Qi An replied "seriously".
"He's gone mad, he's really gone mad," Yun Zhihong murmured.
He was now even more certain of his guess: his daughter was either possessed by a ghost or had truly gone mad.
Qi An smiled mysteriously, just as he was about to let them experience what madness was like again, when he heard urgent calls from outside.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, are you inside? Answer your mother if you hear me."
Qi An turned to look at the door, and after hearing who it was, he loosened his clenched fist.
Yun Zhihong and Yuan Bai breathed a huge sigh of relief, almost wanting to kowtow to the colorful butterfly outside.
Cai Die couldn't find her daughter for a long time, and seeing the guards from the mansion rushing towards this place, she became more and more panicked. Forgetting her fear, she rushed over.
Seeing the guards surrounding her, she shrank back in fear and mustered her courage to ask, "Young man, is Yunyan inside?"
Unexpectedly, the guard she called "little brother" hurriedly bowed and nodded to Cai Die, saying, "Madam, you flatter me. Miss Yunyan is inside."
The other guards also bowed respectfully to her and considerately made way for her.
Just kidding, they wouldn't dare offend that female demon's mother.
Cai Die, who had never received such treatment before, was completely dumbfounded. Normally, these guards would never even give her a second glance.
But thinking of her daughter, she didn't have time to investigate further. Amidst the guards' fearful farewell, she ran over and pushed open the door.
When Cai Die saw Yun Yan standing unharmed, a huge weight was lifted from her heart.
When Caidie entered the house, all she could see was her daughter, and she only cared about whether she was alright.
She grabbed Yunyan's arm and looked her up and down: "Yan'er, are you alright? Tell your mother, is anything bothering you?"
Qi An looked at Cai Die, who was wearing a coarse linen shirt and whose face was marked by the passage of time, and his gaze softened.
She held Cai Die's calloused hands, calloused from years of hard work, and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Butterfly, with her sharp eyes, noticed a small cut on her hand: "You're injured? How did you get this?"
That was when Qi An accidentally bumped into the pillar while pulling Han and her daughter; Cai Die didn't even notice until she pointed it out.
Then Cai Die noticed that her daughter's hair was loosely tied up, her clothes were also loose, and there was a man she didn't recognize in the room with gauze wrapped around his head.
After imagining all that, the butterfly suddenly felt a blackout.
Could it be that her Yan'er was... was... bullied?
Just as Qi An was about to say that nothing was wrong, he saw Cai Die suddenly kneel down in front of Yun Zhihong, tears streaming down her face.
"Master, it's all my fault, no matter what. Yan'er is innocent. She's still your own daughter."
She is a weak woman, powerless and helpless. Please have mercy on her and don't let anyone harm her.
"Cai Die begs you, as long as you can protect Yan'er, Cai Die is willing to die and never get in your and Madam's way again."
Yuan Bai stared blankly at the humble and weak Cai Die protecting Yun Yan with her life, and couldn't help but think of his own mother, who had also risked her life to protect him.
Judging from her clothes and appearance, she and her mother must have had a very difficult time living in the Prime Minister's residence.
Her previous erratic and violent behavior was probably all forced upon her.
Yuan Bai had already prepared an excuse for Qi An, feeling as if he were her savior.
Once she regains her senses, she will be grateful and become his woman.
Yun Zhihong looked at Cai Die, who was crying and begging him not to hurt Yun Yan, with a constipated expression on his face.
The eloquent prime minister learned for the first time what it meant to be speechless and unable to defend himself.
His lips twitched for a long time. He pointed to his bloodied face with his broken finger, then pointed to Yuan Bai, who looked miserable and disheveled with his head wrapped in a bandage.
Finally, he pointed to the Han mother and daughter in the corner, their faces covered in blood and unconscious.
Yun Zhihong's voice trembled as he angrily said, "See? These were all done by the innocent, weak women you described as having no strength to even kill a chicken."
Cai Die was speechless, looking at Qi An in disbelief.
