The emperor had only been dead for half an hour when the goddess "researched" a way to solve the plague.
A magical rain fell in the capital.
Qi An flew over the capital, crushed Xianyun's demon core, and mixed it with spiritual spring water from his spatial storage, then sprinkled it down.
Xianyun, this toad, is highly poisonous, but his demon core is the best medicine for treating diseases and detoxifying.
Qi An had already planned to use his demon core to eradicate the plague.
He harmed so many people in Dacheng, he should compensate them a little.
After the rain, the virus disappeared completely, and the fever of the infected people subsided. They only needed a few days of rest to recover.
They knelt on the ground, looking up gratefully at the goddess standing in the air, and bowed their heads devoutly.
Only two people died from this plague from beginning to end.
—The old emperor and Yuanfeng.
Not a single chicken died in the homes of ordinary people.
The head eunuch sighed sadly, "The goddess is still the most reliable. If only the late emperor had waited half an hour longer."
As soon as Qi An landed after the rain stopped, he received a report from the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince refused to submit to the law and even... uttered some insane insults against you."
"Understood, I will go and see him."
Inside the prison, Yuan Bai stared at Qi An with a manic expression, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
"So it wasn't one lifetime, but two lifetimes. No wonder... no wonder you hated me so much. Haha, I only just realized that now."
Qi An asked him on behalf of Yunyan and the mission taker, "Have you ever regretted your feelings for Yunyan?"
The task force waited anxiously for the answer.
"Regret? Haha... Of course I regret it..."
Yuan Bai laughed maniacally: "I really regret it. In my previous two lives, I should have crushed you, you bastard, to dust and made you never be reincarnated."
"I am the emperor! I should have been the emperor! It's all your fault, you vile woman, that ruined me..."
The mission taker was dumbfounded, while Qi An smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good. I'll pass on a message from Yunyan: she also regrets it, regrets saving you when you were a stray dog as a child."
She said, "You ungrateful wretch, you should have been smashed to death with a brick back then."
After delivering the message, Qi An stopped arguing and swiftly crushed the man's jawbone, then poured the poisoned wine down his throat.
Yuan Bai fell to the ground, feeling as if he had swallowed a thousand knives that had shredded his internal organs into minced meat.
In less than fifteen minutes, only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
That wasn't poison at all, but rather a corpse-dissolving potion.
Qi An pulled the mission taker out of her sea of consciousness and made her look at the pool of blood on the ground.
"Was it good?"
The tasker nodded hesitantly: "Awesome."
That was so fucking awesome!
Compared to her, her method of revenge was practically blessing her enemy; no wonder the host, Yunyan, was so angry she almost became a vengeful ghost.
The wealthy and powerful mocked the mission takers with glee.
"Look, this is the kind of regret you imagined a scumbag would have. Still ruling a vast empire and enjoying boundless loneliness? Bah!"
"Let me tell you, there's only one way to make someone regret it."
That means taking everything from him, leaving him penniless and utterly defeated, then sending him to hell so he'll regret ever knowing you.
The mission taker suddenly felt horrified. She couldn't imagine how much hatred and resentment the hosts of her previous missions must have felt.
"I...I know I was wrong. You're right to scold me. I'm an idiot, but I really didn't know..."
No, you know.
Qi An interrupted her, then sharply exposed her.
"You know everything, but you just treat them as tasks, or rather, as games."
You keep faking your death, simply because it's not you who dies, and it's not you who gets hurt.
"If you didn't have a system, death is death. Would you still dare to play the 'chasing after your wife' trick? Hmm?"
The tasker turned pale and was speechless when asked the question.
The big boss is right. With the "Most Popular System" at her disposal, she has nothing to fear.
So she presumptuously devised a melodramatic revenge plan for her host, treating the target of revenge as someone who had been conquered.
Honestly, she felt a sense of pride every time men were infatuated with her, as if she were truly a darling heroine.
They completely forgot that her original intention was to avenge the women who had been wronged, trampled on, and betrayed.
The person on the mission fell to his knees and burst into tears, crying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I know I was wrong..."
Those host sisters trusted her so much, but what did she do?
No matter how pitifully she cried, the two ferocious beasts showed no mercy.
Fu Gui even rolled his eyes and said sarcastically:
"Hey, we're not those stupid guys who get all worked up over a few drops of cat pee and want to kiss, hug, and lift you up high. Forget it."
Qi An said with disgust, "I'm sorry is the most useless sentence in the world, unless you can empathize with their hatred and grievances."
After saying that, he pulled the "Most Popular System" out of the mission taker's body and threw it to Fugui: "Make some modifications."
"Okay."
Fu Gui understood her perfectly; he knew without asking what effect An An wanted.
Soon, with the help of a hacker's magic touch, the "Most Popular System" was transformed into a system for abusing female protagonists in angst-filled novels.
How grueling was it? It can be summed up in one sentence.
Want to date? The kind that involves tearing out your heart and lungs, gutting you, disfiguring you, causing miscarriages, and killing your whole family.
The characters in the mission were initially very fond of this kind of crazy male protagonist, finding it very appealing, which led to the idea of a revenge story involving chasing after one's wife through a "wife-chasing crematorium."
Qi An said calmly, "Since you like this kind of thing, then go and experience it for yourself. I guarantee you'll have a great time."
Amidst the fear in the eyes of the mission participants, Qi An erased her memories.
Then, Fugui sent her and the torture novel heroine system into the vast world.
Next, the system will take her through one torturous and emotionally devastating small world after another, allowing her to fully experience the treatment of a female protagonist in a torture novel.
Each time, she loses her memory and becomes unaware of the system's existence, only believing that she is the original female lead.
She won't awaken unless she one day kills the male lead in a tragic novel with her own hands and breaks the stupid trope of the "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario.
However, Qi An felt that given the size of her cerebral thrombosis, it would take her hundreds of years to wake up.
Next, Qi An personally invited back the key minister who had resigned due to the flood and appointed him as prime minister.
Then a group of ministers who were good at getting things done were selected to form the cabinet.
Then she relinquished all political power and became her honorary regent.
Under her laissez-faire management style, Dacheng enjoyed favorable weather and national prosperity.
Twenty years later, she chose a suitable son from the old emperor's new sons and made him emperor.
But the ministers and the common people privately felt that although the goddess didn't care about anything, they still felt that she was more reliable as the leader.
I feel completely safe.
Fortunately, when the goddess was bored, she took a little girl as her disciple. The girl was twelve years old when she personally took up a knife and chopped down three hooligans who had bullied her.
Qi An happened to see that scene and, on a whim, brought it back to the Goddess's Palace.
Under Qi An and Fu Gui's tutelage, the girl grew up to be a low-budget version of a ferocious beast.
Later, she became the next goddess of Dacheng.
As the de facto "Empress Dowager," Cai Die was the envy of all women.
Under Qi An's care, she lived a life of abundance, health, and carefree happiness.
On her deathbed, her only regret was that her daughter had never married, which meant that she had accumulated a whole mansion's worth of dowry but had no one to give it away.
The butterfly closed its eyes contentedly, a smile still lingering on its lips.
Finally, I can go see her Yan'er.
Mommy misses you so much!
