Ye Qi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it struck the woman's heart like a tidal wave.
A flicker of panic crossed her face, but she quickly suppressed her unease and looked at Ye Qi warily: "What system?"
"Who knows what you're talking about?"
Ye Qi toyed with the dagger in her hand, a slight sneer playing on her lips: "Miss, it seems you don't realize the seriousness of the matter."
In an instant, Ye Qi's eyes suddenly turned as sharp as blades, and the dagger in his hand flew out, grazing the woman's face and cutting off a few strands of her hair.
Ye Qi said coldly, "I didn't bring you here to listen to your nonsense."
The woman instinctively fell to the ground. Seeing the strands of hair on the floor beside her, she was still in shock and gasped for breath.
That knife almost slashed her face and disfigured her!
People tend to be overly protective and secretive about their own lives.
Since women are unwilling to reveal their secrets, let the secrets come out on their own and expose their identities!
With a flick of her finger, Ye Qi felt a surge of magical power coursing through her body like an undercurrent.
Clumps of intangible black mist, like invisible demonic claws, spread rapidly, quickly seizing the intangible ball of light on the woman's body.
The black mist offered up all the orbs of light as if presenting a treasure.
Ye Qi casually took the ball of light.
In the woman's eyes, Ye Qi's hands held nothing but air.
Ye Qi kneaded the ball of light in her hand, and at the same time, a piercing scream echoed in the woman's mind: "Ahhhhh!"
The sound was so shrill and piercing that the woman pressed her head down and screamed in her mind, "Stop yelling!"
Her system cried out, "She's caught me!"
Upon hearing the system's words, the woman stiffened, looked up in astonishment, and saw that Ye Qi was indeed holding something in his hand.
Seeing this, her face turned pale. She had thought that she could just pretend to be stupid and hide it, but she did not expect that the other party would be able to capture her system and directly interrogate it.
Now that things have come to this, she can no longer hide it!
She readily admitted it, but wouldn't finish: "Yes, I do have a system, but my mission with the system involves classified information... It's difficult for me to tell you..."
Ye Qi looked at the woman, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Still pretending?"
Ye Qi exerted force, and the system's crackling electronic sounds blared wildly, filling everyone's ears and disrupting the woman's nerves.
Ye Qi looked at the system: "Since she won't talk, you talk. If you don't talk, I'll strangle you!"
Upon hearing Ye Qi's threat, the system stammered, "But... this really involves classified information."
Ye Qi was too lazy to listen to its nonsense, so she squeezed hard, and most of the system's energy dissipated!
The system roared: "Warning!"
"warn!"
"%^*#!……@#$!……"
"The system has been attacked by an unknown force, and the damage level is as high as 80%! It is about to enter the scrap stage!"
"Please repair it as soon as possible!"
Hearing the alarm from her internal program, the system screamed desperately in the woman's mind.
Ye Qi smiled lazily: "I only used a little force, and you're almost broken?"
Now that things have come to this, the system doesn't care about any damn confidentiality agreement; Ye Qi is really capable of strangling it!
The system humbly admitted, "I am Shangguan Li's system. I am here to correct the main plot because the female lead He Nian and the second male lead Ye Jingyan have deviated from the plot development."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qi toyed with the system again: "Oh? Really? Are you sure?"
The system immediately straightened its back: "Confirmed! You can question my abilities, but you cannot question my quality control!"
Ye Qi: "..."
If the system is indeed a plot correction system, then the reason why the system kept making He Nian fall has finally been found.
but……
Ye Qi deliberately set a trap: "In the plot, does He Nian end up with the second male lead or the male lead?"
The system proudly admitted, "Of course it's the male lead! How can the second male lead compare to the male lead? The female lead is the chosen one, how can she be with the second male lead?"
Hearing the system belittle her own brother, Ye Qi hardened her fists.
Ye Qi continued to set the trap with a dark face: "The plot requires the male and female leads to be together, so does it matter whether the second male lead is being difficult or not?"
The system wondered, "The second male lead's plot isn't important; what's important is that the male and female leads must be together to balance the world's plot."
"What if the second male lead leaves the story?"
"As long as the male and female leads get together and the plot doesn't fall apart, the second male lead doesn't matter."
Ye Qi continued to coax with a meaningful smile: "Isn't it said that supporting characters have to help the male and female leads develop their relationship?"
"That's true, but it won't have a big impact. As long as the side quests don't break down and affect the main storyline, it's fine. The main storyline is the key."
"So you mean I don't need to complete side quests every time?"
The system was completely confused by her words: "Right, it seems so."
As Shangguan Li watched Ye Qi relentlessly question the system, the fear in her heart spread like a spider web, enveloping her mind and leaving her feeling confused and unable to make up her mind. She couldn't understand what Ye Qi was trying to do.
Ye Qi's smile deepened: "If a branch point fails, should we keep repeating that branch point, or choose another branch point to remedy the situation?"
Without hesitation, the system replied, "Of course, choose another branch point. Repeatedly choosing the same branch point will affect the plot and cause unnecessary consequences. Our system prioritizes efficiency."
Ye Qi deliberately drew out her tone: "Oh—"
Then he looked at Shangguan Li with a cold gaze.
Shangguan Li felt a chill run down her spine from her gaze, as if something was slipping out of her control.
Ye Qi glanced at the corner behind her, then casually said, "So that means..."
The tone shifted abruptly, turning cold: "It's your master, Shangguan Li, who has been insisting on repeatedly using the 'splashing red wine' tactic, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Li's heart skipped a beat. As if realizing something, she was about to stop the system from speaking: "No!"
However, the system, being so clueless, didn't realize anything was wrong because its life was in Ye Qi's hands, and quickly replied, "Yes."
Upon hearing the system's confirmation, Shangguan Li angrily cursed, "You idiot!"
"Don't you know what you shouldn't say and what you should say?"
Ye Qi gave Jiang Yihuan a wink, and Jiang Yihuan moved in a flash, appearing in front of Shangguan Li the next second, almost scaring Shangguan Li half to death.
Shangguan Li flinched: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Yihuan's voice was as cold as the air from a refrigerator: "Shut up, you noisy person."
Jiang Yihuan moved her hand, and Shangguan Li was surprised to find that she could not make a sound. Not only that, her mental connection with the system was also severed!
Ye Qi turned her attention back to the system and continued, "Have you always agreed with Shangguan Li's insistence on using the red wine incident as a pretext?"
The system rejected the suggestion: "Not approved."
"To be honest, there's something I don't understand about you humans. Even though other side quests offer better rewards, you insist on splashing red wine."
