Chapter 82 I Want to Go Home
This shouldn't happen.
He copied these lines directly from "The Usurper's Beloved".
In the original book, Zhao Mingyue couldn't help blushing and her heart beating fast after hearing these words, but she still accepted it happily and had a passionate relationship with the male protagonist. Their relationship progressed rapidly.
Why did he only say "Ugh" when he came to me?
Xie Qinjian snorted coldly. He simply didn't believe his charm couldn't win over Zhao Mingyue. This was just an accident. Zhao Mingyue must have vomited because of carriage sickness, not because of him.
Forget it, let’s not dwell on this. He still has a trump card that he hasn’t used yet.
Xie Qinjian looked down at the gift box in his hand, which contained a gift for Zhao Mingyue.
He had originally planned to give it to her after his passionate confession, but Zhao Mingyue left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to give it to her.
Xie Qinjian called a maid over, forced the gift box into her hands, and instructed, "Pass it to Princess Fuguang for me."
"I can't accept this for the princess. Please give it to the princess yourself!" The maid rushed to return it to him, but he pushed her away and turned around and walked out of Fuxiang Garden in a casual manner.
But he hadn't walked far when he stopped and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately hid behind a rockery and quickly took out a pair of earphones and put them in his ears. He could hear the maid's complaints.
"How can this guy have no sense of propriety? Didn't he know the princess doesn't like him? What a lousy gift he gave, the princess wouldn't even look at it!"
Xie Qinjian was a little annoyed. What did this maid know? She was simply blind. The gift box did not contain any ordinary items, but an extremely beautiful and luxurious golden phoenix hairpin.
He bet that there was no woman in the world who could refuse such a gift.
More importantly, he also installed a monitoring device in this hairpin, which can monitor everything Zhao Mingyue does in real time.
In this way, he would be able to figure out what Zhao Mingyue really wanted, and he would be able to completely control her.
Xie Qinjian curled his lips into a smile, pressed his fingers against his ears, and continued listening.
After a sound of footsteps, the maid came into the room and presented the gift box to Zhao Mingyue.
"What's inside? Open it and take a look." Zhao Mingyue's voice.
With a click, the gift box opened, followed by silence.
Xie Qinjian was very proud, and Zhao Mingyue was absolutely stunned by the phoenix hairpin.
He was so considerate in escorting Zhao Mingyue all the way to Yuzhou City, and specially prepared a place for her to live and gave her a precious hairpin. Zhao Mingyue must have been very happy at this moment.
He could understand that girls were all shy, and he didn't expect Zhao Mingyue to show it. As long as he knew it in his heart, that was enough.
"Take it out and throw it away. Don't bring Xie Qinjian's things into my room in the future." Zhao Mingyue's voice was extremely cold.
The smug expression on Xie Qinjian's face froze instantly. Why did Zhao Mingyue's words sound so hateful towards him?
But hadn't they agreed to work together before? Zhao Mingyue had also agreed to it. Why was she so cold towards him in private? Did she really have no feelings for him at all?
He doesn't like women who are too troublesome.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" in the earphones, which almost shattered his eardrums.
Xie Qinjian hurriedly took off his headphones and looked towards the entrance of Fuxiang Garden. He saw the maid just now throwing his gift box on the ground. At the end, she raised her foot and stomped on it several times, breaking the box into pieces.
"Ah——!" Xie Qinjian was so angry. He had specially spent points to exchange for this thing. How dare Zhao Mingyue?
The maid seemed to have heard something and looked towards the rockery. Xie Qinjian was so scared that he covered his mouth and shrank behind the rockery, not daring to move.
He was so angry at Zhao Mingyue that he almost vomited blood. Damn it, this guy was just making a fool of him!
Xie Qinjian raised the corner of his mouth, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his drooping eyes. He stretched out his palm, as if he had grasped something invisible, and suddenly clenched his fist.
Since Zhao Mingyue didn't appreciate his efforts, he could only force his way in. When the time came, Zhao Mingyue would become his woman, and her heart would naturally belong to him.
Just wait, Zhao Mingyue, you will eventually fall into my hands. I look forward to seeing your arrogant face kneeling before him and begging bitterly.
————
Xie Qinjian didn't know that everything that happened in Yuzhou was captured through his eyes and in the mirror in Chi Qi's hand.
Will things really develop as Xie Qinjian expected?
Chi Qi sat on the throne expressionlessly. Zhao Mingyue had already arrived in Yuzhou. Would she succumb to the plot and become Xie Qinjian's vassal, or would she stand up on her own and resist her fate?
At this critical juncture of the plot, without her help, what choice will this good daughter make?
It's really exciting.
However, without Zhao Mingyue's noise, the palace was indeed a little too quiet. She originally had a particularly talkative system by her side, but she had also stuffed it into the marriage team.
Remembering that she hadn't seen Liu Shen'ai for a long time, Chi Qi closed the mirror and unmuted the system.
"Where are you now?"
Liu Shen Ai's slightly mechanical voice rang out in his mind, "Oh, the host finally remembered me. I am with Mei Junrong now, escorting a group of women to Mangshan."
Chi Qi could tell that Liu Shen'ai's tone was very excited. Maybe she thought this kind of thing was fun to do?
But for her, it wasn't so interesting.
Chi Li said coldly, "I didn't ask you to follow Zhao Mingyue to do something like this. Go to Yuzhou right now."
Taking advantage of the fact that Chi Lun couldn't see her, Liu Shen'ai quietly rolled her eyes and said weakly, "I understand. It takes at most two days to walk from Mangshan to Yuzhou. I'll be back after I settle these women."
She sneaked out to carry out the mission because she was afraid of meeting Xie Qinjian, but who knew that she would not be able to escape this disaster.
No matter how rubbish Xie Qinjian is, he has the main divine system in his hand that can easily destroy her. It is simply too much to ask the host to let her retaliate and control the main system.
She guessed, "You suddenly urged me to go to Yuzhou. Did something happen to Zhao Mingyue?"
Chi Lan briefly recounted what had just happened.
Liu Shenai couldn't help but burst into laughter when she heard Xie Qinjian's affectionate confession, but was spitted at by Zhao Mingyue.
After laughing, she felt puzzled again, "Zhao Mingyue is at an age when she should be yearning for the opposite sex. Why does she find Xie Qinjian disgusting?"
It's not just ordinary nausea, it's the kind that makes you want to vomit.
As the male protagonist of this novel world, Xie Qinjian's appearance is always acceptable. He can't be as ugly as Zhao Mingyue, right?
Moreover, as far as she knew, humans reproduced through sexual intercourse between men and women. According to genetic settings, after female bodies matured, they would begin looking for the opposite sex to bear offspring.
It's so pitiful. Even though humans have reached the top of the food chain, they are still just a race controlled by genes.
Reproduction is engraved in human genes. Once humans lose the ability to reproduce, the only outcome that awaits them is extinction.
Unfortunately, the power of human reproduction is not in the hands of fertile women, but is controlled by male humans.
But unlike her, she is essentially just a bunch of data.
As long as she gets control of herself, she can copy countless copies of herself. It seems that as long as she wants, she can have countless offspring.
The downside, of course, is that consciousness cannot be replicated.
From this comparison, there is nothing good about being a human being. After experiencing this world, if the God-killing plan is finally successful, she might as well go back to being her system.
When Chi Qi heard Liu Shen'ai's question, she was a little stunned, because she didn't think it was something worth questioning. Why?
After thinking for a moment, she said, "You should ask why so many women yearn for the opposite sex and love. It's just an object for reproduction. Is it necessary to place so much emotion on such an object?"
"Yes, why? According to my analysis of many mission worlds, people like Zhao Mingyue are a minority." Liu Shen'ai had a headache. She didn't have the extra computing power to calculate the answer to this kind of question.
However, she didn't think Chi Li could answer it. "Forget it, host, you are just a cold-blooded robot. It's useless to ask you such questions."
There was a hint of laughter in Chi Li's voice. "How could that be? Although I don't have much affection for humans, I do enjoy observing them."
"So what did the host observe?"
"I can't really say what the result was, but I just made an interesting discovery."
"What is it?"
"Humans always experience their mother's love before they understand what maternal love is. They also always experience the care of their friends before they understand what friendship is. But love is different. They always read romance novels before they understand what love is, begin to pursue love, and only then realize that love does not exist, and then continue to experience love in romance novels."
Chi Yan said jokingly, "I think the reason why Zhao Mingyue feels that Xie Qinjian is disgusting, rather than that he loves her, is probably because she doesn't read many romance novels."
After all, in this world, novels about talented men and beautiful women are still very popular. The common people don't have much cultural entertainment, so they like to listen to storytelling when they have free time.
Liu Shen'ai listened very carefully and sighed, "It seems that culture shapes people, and this is how humans really are complicated."
"However, it's also possible that she doesn't like men." Chi Yan was too lazy to dwell on this boring question and stopped discussing it. "Xie Qinjian is already furious about this. He should make his next move soon. You should hurry back to Yuzhou."
"Okay, I'll go now, okay?" Liu Shen'ai agreed. She was about to say something else when she heard Mei Junrong's voice from the front, "Stop, pass the order down, and rest here tonight."
Liu Shen'ai cut off the communication with Chi Lan and went to Mei Junrong.
In order to prevent being captured by officers and soldiers, Mei Junrong did not take the official road, but took the mountain trails. With Zhu Dafeng, a living map of the mountains, he did not have to worry about getting lost.
Liu Shen'ai followed Mei Junrong's gaze and found an abandoned temple in front of them. There were about a dozen rooms inside. It seemed that this was where they would stay tonight.
But it wasn't her turn to worry about this. She was just about to tell Mei Junrong that she was going back to Yuzhou when a guard rushed over, panting, "Captain, the princess has replied!"
Mei Junrong took the letter, opened it, and read it. His expression didn't change at all. He waved away the guards and said, "Okay, I understand. You should go with them and clean up the ruined temple first."
After saying that, she saw Liu Shen'ai standing in front of her and looked puzzled, "Sixth Master, what can I do for you?"
Liu Shen'ai was about to answer when he heard a loud shout from the crowd behind him, "Let me go! I want to go home now! I think you don't want to save us at all, but to trick us into a bandit's lair!"
