In Qin Xiao's mind, the system's notification sound rang out with a cheerful, electronic feel.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Hidden achievement completed: First time being awesome enough to become the Dragon King's female lead!]
[Detection indicates that the female lead, Su Wanying's, affection level has reached 200%! She's completely smitten and utterly devoted!]
[Calculating Luck Points Plunder... Plunder successful! Gained a large amount of Luck Points!]
Yun Yiyi's voice followed immediately, so excited it almost cracked.
"Wow! Qin Xiao! Two hundred! Really two hundred! Sister Su is completely yours now!"
"You promised me five limited-edition skins! You can't go back on your word!"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly in his mind's eye, and with a thought, he confirmed the purchase order.
"No problem, I promised you, I'll make sure you get what you promised."
Yun Yi cheered with joy, and then a brand new system reward popped up.
[Ding! Special reward issued! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Indestructible Body (Ultra Version)!]
[Indestructible Body (Ultra Version): Passive defensive skill. Automatically activates when the host encounters a potentially fatal physical or energy attack, completely defending against the attack and reflecting it back at the attacker with 100% power. Cooldown: 24 hours.]
Qin Xiao pondered the name for a moment.
Ultra version? That sounds a bit... cringey.
"Let's just call this feature 'Rebound,' it's simple and straightforward."
Yun Yiyi immediately responded: "Received! It's been renamed to [Rebound]! Hehe, it really does have a childlike feel to it!"
In reality, the atmosphere in the ward was completely different from the relaxed atmosphere in the system space.
Ye Chen's eyes were practically spitting fire.
Shame! An unprecedented shame!
He, the young master of the Dragon King Palace, the man destined by heaven, had his opportunity stolen in public by this纨绔子弟 (a spoiled brat), who stole the moment of glory that should have been his!
The gratitude of the Su family, Su Wanying's advances... all of this should have been his!
The killing intent, like a venomous snake, frantically grew and swirled in his heart.
He couldn't let Qin Xiao leave so triumphantly!
He must be killed! Immediately! Right now!
Ye Chen's eyes were sinister. His fingers, hidden in his sleeve, twitched slightly, and three short needles, as thin as cow hair and shimmering with a black luster, quietly slid into his fingertips.
Deadly Needle!
These are not medical silver needles, but vicious hidden weapons he forged!
The first one was forged with deadly snake venom.
The second one was infected with deadly bacteria that could cause sepsis.
The third one is even more insidious, carrying a venereal virus that can ruin a person's life!
He wanted Qin Xiao dead! To die a painful death! To die a humiliating death!
Ye Chen suppressed the metallic taste in his throat and frantically poured the little internal energy he had left into his fingertips, his eyes fixed on the back of the figure that was facing away from him and seemed to still be enjoying the tenderness.
Die, Qin Xiao!
There was not a sound of anything cutting through the air.
The three deadly needles transformed into three almost invisible black lights, carrying an aura of destruction, and shot towards Qin Xiao's vital point in the back!
The speed was incredibly fast! The angle was extremely tricky!
The Su family was still immersed in the joy of the old man's awakening, and Su Wanying had just been slightly pushed away from Qin Xiao's arms. No one noticed this deadly sneak attack!
In a flash!
Qin Xiao didn't even have time to turn around.
But just a moment before the three needles were about to pierce his body.
[Rebound!]
A system notification sound rang out, audible only to Qin Xiao and Yun Yiyi.
Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Those three deadly needles, imbued with terrifying killing intent, seemed to have struck an invisible yet incredibly resilient barrier.
Their speed instantly dropped to zero, and then they suddenly changed direction in mid-air at a bizarre angle that defied the laws of physics!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
They flew back at an even faster speed than when they arrived, heading straight for their master—Ye Chen!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Three faint, almost imperceptible muffled sounds.
Ye Chen's body stiffened abruptly, the sinister smile on his face instantly freezing, replaced by extreme pain and disbelief.
He could clearly feel three cold, familiar needles piercing deep into... his buttocks.
The force was so great that it almost completely penetrated deep into the muscle!
Severe pain instantly swept through the whole body!
"hiss--"
Ye Chen gasped, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Ye Chen, what's wrong?"
Qin Xiao seemed to have just realized something, turned around, and looked at Ye Chen's distorted face with just the right amount of "concern".
This reaction was naturally triggered by Yun Yiyi's mental reminder.
"Well done, Yi Yi," Qin Xiao thought to himself.
"Hehe, it's no big deal! This [Rebound] is really useful!" Yun Yiyi said smugly.
Qin Xiao, noticing Ye Chen's awkward posture, deliberately said:
"You don't look too good. Did you overexert yourself just now? Sit down and rest."
sit down?
Ye Chen almost jumped up on the spot when he heard those two words!
Those three needles were stuck so deep that he felt like his entire buttocks didn't belong to him anymore. Even the slightest movement caused excruciating pain, so how could he possibly sit down!
He forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace, despite the excruciating pain.
"No...no need! I...I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to and I have to leave right away!"
Ye Chen practically gritted his teeth as he finished speaking, his voice urgent and trembling slightly.
He didn't even dare to look Qin Xiao in the eye, afraid that Qin Xiao would notice something amiss.
