Mo Meigui stood quietly a little further away, like a loyal shadow, but her clenched fists revealed her inner turmoil.
"Where...where am I?" Qin Xiao asked, his voice still a little hoarse and dry.
"The hospital! You've been unconscious for three days!" Qin Ruoyan answered quickly, tears welling up in her eyes again. "I was so scared, waaaaah..."
"Alright, Ruoyan, your brother just woke up, don't let him worry." Gu Siqing gently patted Qin Ruoyan's back, then looked at Qin Xiao, her tone steady, "The doctor said you were overexerted and your internal organs were shaken, so you need to rest. We'll talk about the specifics after you've recovered a bit."
"Where's Ye Chen? Where's Liu Qingrong?" Qin Xiao asked, frowning. He remembered that Ye Chen had been taken away by the police before he lost consciousness.
"Don't worry," Su Wanying said softly, handing over a glass of warm water. "Ye Chen has been taken into custody by the police. He's involved in quite a few things this time, enough to give him a hard time. As for Liu Qingrong, Officer Shen arranged for her to be hospitalized. I heard... her condition is complicated, but she's not in immediate danger."
Qin Xiao nodded, took a sip of water to moisten his parched throat, and felt that he was still obviously weak, but it was much better than the near-death state he was in before he lost consciousness.
It seems that although the backlash was severe, they managed to weather it.
He steadied himself and silently called out in his heart, "Yi Yi?"
【Waaah... Host, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!】 Yun Yiyi's voice sounded much more energetic, but still carried a hint of lingering fear.
"Before I fell unconscious, what reward... what did I choose?" Qin Xiao asked, deeply concerned about the reward that would change the future Dragon King. Each of those three options could potentially have a huge impact on the future.
【Um…that…】Yun Yiyi’s tone suddenly became a little strange, with a hint of caution and a feeling of wanting to laugh but not daring to.
"Speak quickly." Qin Xiao had a bad feeling.
[Host, you were disoriented at the time, so... you just pressed a button randomly...] Yun Yiyi's voice trailed off, [You chose... option three...]
[Option Three?] Qin Xiao recalled for a moment, ["Forcefully change the Dragon King's initial biological sex setting? Make him female from birth?"]
【Yes...yes!】Yun Yiyi finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. 【That means, some guy who was supposed to be a typical overpowered protagonist in the future will become a girl from the very beginning, from the fertilized egg stage! And it's a complete unity of mind and body!】
Qin Xiao: "..."
He felt a throbbing sensation in his temples.
What the hell?!
He was just out of his mind and pressed the buttons randomly, how did he end up pressing this most outrageous option?!
A female version of the Dragon King?
The scene... Qin Xiao simply couldn't imagine it.
His lips twitched, and he asked with difficulty, "Then...then what about his...no, 'her'...her future harem? In the original story, didn't these dragon kings always have a bunch of confidantes around them, with all sorts of heroines waiting to be conquered by him?"
"Well..." Yun Yiyi's voice was filled with barely suppressed laughter, even carrying a hint of mischievousness. "Yiyi has done some calculations. If that 'Dragon King Miss's' core charm and luck remain unchanged..."
Yun Yiyi grinned mischievously, speaking in a tone that suggested she was enjoying the drama:
[Then...it must be that the orange tree is doing very well!]
Is the orange crop thriving?
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized the pun.
Orange...
He seemed to see a scene before his eyes: a heroic and powerful "female dragon king" with great fortune, surrounded by a group of all kinds of beautiful and charming heroines who should have been her harem... They loved each other and were sisters.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but shiver.
The plot is probably headed in some strange and erratic direction...
He rubbed his forehead, feeling a sudden headache.
What kind of mess is this?!
Beside the hospital bed, watching Qin Xiao's expression change constantly—sometimes frowning, sometimes twitching at the corner of his mouth—Su Wanying couldn't help but ask with concern, "Qin Xiao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we call the doctor to come and take a look again?"
Qin Xiao snapped out of his daze, looked at the group of beautiful women who cared about him, and then thought about the future "promising" female dragon king. He was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“It’s nothing,” he waved his hand, a slightly strange smile on his face. “I was just thinking about some… well, happy things.”
