The atmosphere in the courtyard became somewhat tense for a moment.
Shen Xingling's sharp gaze swept across the chaotic scene, finally landing on Qin Xiao and the terrifying-looking woman on the ground. Her brows furrowed: "What... exactly happened here?"
Ye Chen was held down by two policemen, still cursing filthyly, his voice hoarse and venomous. But his once arrogant demeanor had dissipated considerably under the cold handcuffs and the dark muzzle of the gun.
Qin Xiao didn't answer Shen Xingling immediately. He took a deep breath, enduring the tearing pain throughout his body, and looked down at Liu Qingrong, who was still trembling beside him. Her eyes were still empty, filled with fear and disgust at her own existence.
"Don't be afraid." Qin Xiao's voice was a little hoarse due to weakness, but it carried an undeniable firmness. "I said I could cure you. No matter what the cost, I will find a way to restore you to your original state."
Liu Qingrong abruptly raised her head, her eyes, almost completely obscured by her disfigured face, fixed on Qin Xiao, and turbid tears welled up again. This time, it wasn't a desperate wail, but rather a faint, incredulous hope. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but only managed a sobbing sound, her body trembling violently, as if she were about to unleash all the pain and grievances that had accumulated over the years.
Shen Xingling watched this scene, a flicker of emotion and confusion crossing her eyes. She didn't understand what had happened between the disfigured woman and Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao's promise of "at all costs" sent a shiver down her spine. This man always seemed to be able to make unexpected yet powerful moves in the most chaotic situations.
Master Qingsheng stroked his chin and muttered, "Wow, this kid not only knows how to summon gods and fight, but he's actually planning to get into cosmetic surgery? This face... tsk tsk, this is going to be quite a challenge."
Just then, Qin Xiao felt his vision blur, and the raging backlash within him surged like a burst dam, violently assaulting his meridians and consciousness. The price he had paid for forcibly wielding that vast power that wasn't his own far exceeded his expectations.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully thwarting the conspiracy of the Chosen One Ye Chen and initially resolving Liu Qingrong's resentment, bringing about a major turning point in the main storyline!]
Yun Yiyi's voice suddenly rang in his mind, filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and a hint of excitement.
[The system has detected that the host's behavior has deviated significantly from the original plotline, causing unpredictable consequences for the future! The system determines that the host has received a special plot-reversal reward!]
[Reward: The host can choose to change one of the initial core settings of a future "Dragon King" template character!]
Option 1: Remove one of the Dragon King's core cheat abilities.
Option 2: Significantly reduce the Dragon King's future luck in finding a romantic partner.
Option 3: Forcefully change the Dragon King's initial biological sex setting (Effect: Female from birth).
Three glittering golden options appeared in Qin Xiao's mind like a game interface.
A "Dragon King" archetype? Qin Xiao's consciousness was beginning to blur. He vaguely understood that this referred to a protagonist-like character like Ye Chen, who possessed great fortune and constantly encountered extraordinary opportunities. Clearly, Ye Chen wasn't the only "chosen one" in this world.
Changing the core settings of the future Dragon King? This reward... is interesting.
He wanted to examine the options carefully and analyze the pros and cons, but a strong sense of dizziness overwhelmed him like a tidal wave, and the scene before him began to spin and shatter.
[Host! Host, what's wrong? Hurry up and choose! This reward interface has an expiration date! It will be gone if it expires!] Yun Yi urged anxiously.
"Anything...any one will do..." With his last bit of strength, before his consciousness completely sank into darkness, Qin Xiao randomly pressed one of the options in his mind.
He had no idea which button he had pressed.
The world was plunged into darkness and silence.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xiao's consciousness slowly rose to the surface, as if floating in warm water.
The smell of disinfectant was faint, yet it clearly entered my nasal cavity.
I could hear suppressed, faint sobs, and a few soft, concerned voices talking nearby.
He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and the blurry light gradually focused.
The first thing he saw was a snow-white ceiling, followed by a hanging IV drip. He moved his fingers and found himself lying on a soft, comfortable hospital bed, covered with a clean blanket.
"Ugh..." he let out a soft groan.
"Brother Qin Xiao!" A joyful voice, trembling with tears, rang out.
Qin Xiao turned his head and saw a delicate little face, streaked with tears, approaching him. It was Qin Ruoyan. The little girl's eyes were red and swollen, clearly she had been crying for a while.
"Are you awake?!"
How are you feeling?
"Doctor! Doctor! He's awake!"
Instantly, several beautiful figures surrounded the bed, each with their own unique charm, some plump and some slender, and the air seemed to be filled with a faint, mixed fragrance.
Su Wanying wore a fiery red dress that accentuated her voluptuous figure, but her face was filled with undisguised worry as she reached out to touch Qin Xiao's forehead.
Gu Siqing was dressed in a smart white women's suit, her temperament still aloof, but her beautiful eyes also revealed a rare hint of urgency and concern.
Nie Beini, with her blonde hair and blue eyes, exuding charm, had also suppressed her usual carefree attitude and was looking at him nervously.
Leng Nan, dressed in civilian clothes, still maintained the upright posture of a soldier, but deep within his cold eyes, there seemed to be a hint of relaxation that was not easily detected.
