Chapter 49
Thinking back to when she first transmigrated into this body, the system's attitude towards her was not as good as it was towards Mo Qiuxin.
She realized that this system was a creature that would only act according to who it was dealing with.
The system felt a chill run down its spine under Mo Xiaoxin's gaze.
Well, although it doesn't have a scalp.
Mo Xiaoxin was not one to be threatened willingly. She glared at Mo Qiuxin and said to the system, "What if I disagree?"
Mo Qiu said confidently, "You have to agree whether you like it or not, otherwise the system will mark you for violating the rules!"
"Fine, I'll just quit and give up. What can you do to me then?"
Recalling her past life, she was threatened by clients and pressured by her superiors in the workplace. Caught between two forces, she had to keep a low profile.
After doing the work, she would be scolded by both sides, and in the end, the leader would take credit for her work. She was just an unknown person who had sunk to the bottom of the sea. She was given a few hundred yuan as a bonus, and they even used psychological manipulation to say that it was a lot.
She cursed her boss in her heart, but on the surface she could only pretend to smile and accept the favor.
The awful job left her exhausted, and she was constantly working overtime.
Now that she's in this godforsaken place, first the system forces her to participate in missions, and then Mo Qiuxin threatens her, demanding that she avenge her.
Why should her life be controlled by others?
It's just tens of millions of dollars, she can just take it.
Even after she became a ghost, these people still won't let her go.
As long as a person is free from greed, no one can threaten her!
Seeing that Mo Xiaoxin was truly angry, Mo Qiuxin and the system exchanged glances and whispered to each other to the side.
Mo Qiuxin was anxious: "What should we do? She doesn't seem to be threatened by us. She wasn't like this before. Why is she so tough this time? Isn't money what she wants the most? Why has she suddenly changed her mind?"
The system was also baffled: "I don't know either. Have we been pushing her too hard?"
Mo Qiuxin pouted in dissatisfaction: "I don't care, you promised me before, you have to keep your word! I've already given you my body!"
The system scratched its head: "Sigh, okay, okay, I'll think about it some more."
The system couldn't think of a solution, so it had to ask the main system.
In a dimly lit room, there was a simple yet elegant chair, on which sat a person dressed in a black robe whose face could not be seen.
The system arrived at the room door, knocked, and only floated inside after receiving permission from the person inside.
The room was dimly lit, and the main system was facing away from it. It had never seen what the main system looked like, only that it was created by him.
The system said somewhat anxiously, "Master System, I'm in trouble."
"Don't panic, speak slowly."
A hollow voice came from the chair in front of it, a voice that was neither male nor female, but rather androgynous. His voice carried an air of authority that made the system involuntarily feel a sense of oppression.
The system glanced at the chair, and through the gap in the chair, it could see the main system's black robe. But after just one glance, it lowered its head again, not daring to look any further.
The system conveyed the attitudes of Mo Xiaoxin and Mo Qiuxin to the main system.
The main system smiled faintly and said calmly, "You have to ask me about such a trivial matter?"
The system thought to itself, "Is this a small matter? The two people are each sticking to their own opinions, and there's nothing it can do about it being caught in the middle!"
"Little Tong, when will you grow up and be able to stand on your own?"
The system blushed and became somewhat nervous: "I... I really don't know what to do, so I can only ask the main system for guidance."
The main system smiled and didn't make things difficult for it, offering a solution: "It's just a small matter; just let Mo Xiaoxin acquire five elemental skills."
The system exclaimed in shock: "We sell each of our skills for 50 million, and she already has one. That means we're going to lose 200 million!"
Main system: "That person offered 10 billion. Can't we even afford that small amount?"
Ten billion! Its little heart instantly felt relieved.
"We can afford it, of course we can afford it, but that would shorten the time Mo Xiaoxin can stay in this world."
"It won't affect anything. She needs a lot of time to practice her skills. You need to work harder during this time to let her have more contact with Leng Huai. He specifically instructed us to do that."
"I understand, I understand." The system nodded repeatedly.
The system hesitated again: "But even so, Mo Xiaoxin still won't agree?"
The main system gives the system a USB drive containing 99 ways to torture ghosts.
The system's eyes lit up.
Upon receiving instructions from the main system, the system returned to space.
Mo Xiaoxin and Mo Qiuxin were still staring at each other.
The system relayed the main system's message to the two of them.
Mo Xiaoxin rolled her eyes and said, "What would I need so many skills for? I'd still need to spend time practicing them."
System: "The main system has already conceded. You can save two hundred million and get a reward of one hundred million. Why not? When you return to the real world with so much money, you can do whatever you want, right?"
Mo Xiaoxin was still somewhat hesitant. It wasn't that she didn't want the money, but she felt that doing so was too risky. Not only would she waste time, but she might not even be able to complete the task. She always thought that the person she should be pursuing the most was Leng Huai.
Why does she always have this feeling of being manipulated? It seems like they're trying every possible way to keep her in this world.
Could it be that they want her to develop feelings for this world, then automatically choose to stay, and then they won't have to give her any more money?
Let them dream their pipe dreams!
Mo Xiaoxin asked again, "What if I still disagree?"
Mo Qiuxin was furious: "Hey, Mo Xiaoxin! Don't be ungrateful. The main system has already given you the skills, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Do you know how long it takes to practice these spells? I have no idea."
The system said, "Ahem, well, if you're not willing, well, you might have to experience hellish ghost-slaying techniques."
Immediately afterwards, the system plugged in the USB drive that the main system had given it, and a huge screen suddenly appeared in the space, displaying one terrifying and horrifying scene of torture and killing after another.
Ghosts are scalded in boiling oil, torn apart by five horses, and devoured by ants...
All sorts of novel techniques and familiar methods of torture were on display, making Mo Xiaoxin swallow hard.
These despicable systems dare to torture her like this!
Good heavens, she now has only one choice.
Okay, I agree.
Forced into a corner, she had no choice but to accept a plan that seemed incredibly tempting but actually concealed some unknown conspiracy.
Fine, it's fine if it takes a little more time. As a ghost, she has plenty of time now, and the rewards are pretty high.
Thinking about it this way, Mo Xiaoxin convinced herself.
Mo Qiuxin was overjoyed, her words as sweet as honey, completely different from her previous cursing. She held Mo Xiaoxin's hands and thanked her, saying, "Actually, I didn't want to do this either, but I really had no choice. If my soul could control my body, I would never trouble you! You are so kind, so lovely, and so invincible, you are my god!"
Mo Xiaoxin got goosebumps and said helplessly, "I just hope these spells won't take up too much of my time."
Back in reality, Mo Xiaoxin saw the black snake staring at her with a strange look.
Realizing that it had been a while since I had been out of sorts, which could easily arouse suspicion: "I was a little dizzy just now, but I feel much better now."
"Xuan She, thank you for telling me all this. I've decided that no matter the cost, even if it means giving my life, I will avenge my mother!"
The black snake knew that Mo Xiaoxin had poison in her body, but it was powerless to do anything about it, so it did not doubt her just now. Hearing Mo Xiaoxin say this, it was very gratified and said, "Child, your ability is limitless. You must find your mother."
This is something that Xuan She has never been able to let go of.
Mo Xiaoxin nodded, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Leng Huai lying on the ground, his condition unknown.
She patted her forehead. Oh right, how could she have forgotten about him?
"Um, why is Leng Huai lying on the ground?"
The black snake scoffed, "I was just healing him; it's nothing serious."
"But why does he have wounds on his body?"
Xuan She: "That's because his venom causes his wounds to fester, and my venom can counteract his."
So that's how it is. Mo Xiaoxin lowered her eyes, recalling how the black mist had inexplicably brought her here. What was its purpose?
Is he trying to deliberately make her question the Black Serpent, and then start a major conflict with it?
Fortunately, the Black Serpent recognized her identity; otherwise, with her current abilities, she would have been instantly killed by the Black Serpent.
Suddenly, her body started to hurt again, she broke out in a cold sweat, and her lips turned white. She bit her lip and tried her best to keep her balance.
Xuan She noticed something was wrong with her, and a strange glint appeared in her eyes.
A dizzying sensation followed, and Mo Xiaoxin's vision went black as she fainted.
An hour later, the fire was extinguished, but Qiao Yun and Zi Yu still couldn't find Leng Huai and Mo Xiaoxin.
The two were extremely anxious, but dared not show any expression on their faces. When the servants asked them, they only said that Leng Huai and Mo Xiaoxin had gone out.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the courtyard that had suddenly caught fire. After extinguishing the fire, they hurriedly began cleaning up, and the courtyard, which had previously been filled with flowers and plants, was now a blackened mess. If Leng Huai had seen this horrific scene, they might have lost their lives. Naturally, no one noticed the anxious and uneasy look on the two of them beneath their calm exterior.
"Bang!"
The door to the house was kicked open from the inside.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned around to look.
Leng Huai carried Mo Xiaoxin out of the room.
He stared coldly at the people standing in the courtyard, showing no reaction to what was happening there, and simply said, "Prepare a bucket of cold water and a bucket of hot water for me."
Not only were the people in the courtyard stunned, but even Qiao Yun and Zi Yu were clearly not able to react.
Where did their demon lord and demon queen come from?
Seeing that no one responded, Leng Huai frowned coldly: "Are you deaf?"
Only then did everyone realize what was happening.
Qiao Yun looked at the nearest servant and said sternly, "Hurry up and prepare two buckets of water!"
The servant was startled and quickly agreed.
A short while later, a bucket of cold water and a bucket of hot water were carried in by several people.
Leng Huai checked her temperature, then walked to the bedside and picked up the still unconscious Mo Xiaoxin in his arms.
In a daze, Mo Xiaoxin felt a pair of hands unbuttoning her clothes. She tried to open her eyes but couldn't.
Was she dreaming? But it felt so real.
Forcibly bringing one's consciousness back to the body...
She's not dreaming!
Someone is actually unbuttoning their clothes!
She suddenly felt flustered.
Who is that person? Is it a man or a woman?
She knew nothing about it.
She was unable to open her eyes, like a person in a vegetative state, able to clearly perceive the outside world but unable to open her eyes or speak.
The man put her into a wooden tub. The water in the tub was cold, but she could feel the steam rising from it.
It's hot water.
The temperature shouldn't be too low, but it shouldn't burn her skin.
But what puzzled her was why she didn't feel anything at all.
Could it be that she has been poisoned by the insomnia-inducing drug?
Before she could think it through, a pair of large hands reached out.
The man seemed to hesitate for a moment before making up his mind, and then she gradually became able to clearly feel the touch of the man on her body.
No, it wasn't stroking, it was kneading, like giving her a massage, and it felt quite comfortable.
only……
These are a man's hands.
