"Imperial Advisor? What do we do now?"
Wu Da's extremely rough and resolute face loomed large before her eyes, and his massive body, easily two meters tall, crouched down in front of Zhou Zhizhi, like a quail.
Looking into his clear yet foolish eyes, Zhou Zhizhi's lips twitched, and anger surged to the top of her head!
【calm...】
Calm down my ass! Either way, we're all going to die!
This system is garbage! I'm not putting up with it anymore!
"Come on! Kill me right now!" Zhou Zhizhi, in a fit of desperation, went completely mad on the spot.
The system was silent for a moment, then displayed: "[If you can save the male protagonist three times in a row, you will receive the antidote to remove the Gu worm.]"
Zhou Zhizhi paused, her hand, which was about to strangle herself, but then calmed down.
"Send them back."
She gave the order, but after a long time she didn't hear from the Wu brothers. Frowning, she looked around and found that the two brothers had long since disappeared.
The surroundings were empty, and for the first time, Zhou Zhizhi really wanted to strangle these two.
To be fair, the original owner was incredibly capable in her career.
He rose through the ranks from exile in a harsh, desolate place to become the fearsome Grand Preceptor in just two years.
But this incredibly powerful figure had a bodyguard who was a weakling who wouldn't even listen to the sound of killing a chicken.
Watching the two brothers flee for their lives, Zhou Zhizhi sighed and resignedly walked towards Xiaoxiyou.
Perhaps due to the effects of the Gu worm, Xiao Xiyou, in his sleep, furrowed his brow in extreme discomfort and unconsciously let out a low whimper from his throat.
not good!
He's about to wake up!
Zhou Zhizhi quickly grabbed Xiao Xiyou's arm and hoisted it onto her shoulder.
The original owner's body had excellent stamina and explosive combat power, making it easy for her to carry a man.
She slightly strained her waist and abdomen, gathering her strength in her dantian, preparing to hoist the person onto her shoulder, when suddenly she felt a chill on her neck as a pair of large hands silently gripped her neck.
Someone launched a sneak attack?
Zhou Zhizhi reached behind her and touched a smooth chest.
"Zhou Zhizhi!"
"What are you doing!" came a man's furious growl.
That voice sounds so familiar...
Zhou Zhizhi turned her head and was caught off guard by a pair of fierce eyes that flashed with danger and anger.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously swallowed. Only then did she realize that after all the tugging, Xiao Xiyou's clothes were already in disarray, and his muscular body was mostly exposed. Under the warm candlelight, the muscles on the man's chest were clearly defined, and every inch of his muscles exuded strength and power.
Goodness...
Nobody said the yandere male lead also works out!
Zhou Zhizhi couldn't help but swallow, her fingertips feeling the hardness and warmth of his pectoral muscles, which made her heart flutter.
"Have you touched enough?!"
A cold shout brought Zhou Zhizhi back to her senses. Seeing Xiao Xiyou's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, she quickly withdrew her hand and looked at the ground guiltily.
The ground was littered with the hems of their clothes, which were tangled together. With Xiaoxiyou's clothes wide open, it looked as if she had stripped him naked and forced herself on him.
This guy is a germaphobe!
Her actions of touching and pulling were no different from washing her neck and handing it over to Little Grapefruit to chop!
"Well, things aren't as you think."
"Let me explain... Ah... no, let me clarify!"
Zhou Zhizhi hurriedly got up, still thinking about how to explain to Xiao Xiyou so that she would believe her. She had only taken two steps when she suddenly stumbled and fell straight into Xiao Xiyou's arms.
"Hmm!"
Zhou Zhizhi heard a muffled groan above her head, then felt dizzy and fell onto Xiao Xiyou's chest, her cheek pressed against his hard, firm muscles.
She hurriedly raised her head, her face so dark it was almost dripping with water, her gaze fixed on her with chilling intensity.
Good grief, this is even more difficult to explain.
Zhou Zhizhi clapped her hands and feet, stiffly adjusted her collar, and gave a dry explanation: "Cough... If I said this was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?"
Xiao Xiyou's face was extremely ugly. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger: "Is this what Zhou Guoshi went to such lengths to get close to me?"
Zhou Zhizhi was speechless.
If she had only wanted the male lead's body, the original owner wouldn't have died so tragically!
The original owner's ancestors were military generals for generations, and his ancestors even had the merit of following the emperor. The fame and achievements that generations had earned in the yellow sand and smoke of war had become a death warrant in this dynasty.
The lives of over a hundred family members vanished in a single day with a single word from the dog emperor, who pinned on them baseless charges.
The original owner endured countless hardships to climb to this position, even sacrificing himself to serve Xiao Xiyou, all for the sake of one day clearing the name of his family.
But unexpectedly, even though she got her revenge, Little Grapefruit couldn't tolerate her dragon-slaying blade.
Seeing that Zhou Zhizhi remained silent for a long time, Xiao Xiyou suddenly frowned: "After it's done, I will naturally help you clear your name. You don't need to use this method to test me..."
A blush quickly spread across Xiao Xiyou's face. His breathing had become much more stable, and he looked no different from his usual cold and sarcastic demeanor. However, it was unclear why he avoided looking at her when he spoke.
Zhou Zhizhi wondered, thinking to herself, "Has this guy changed his personality today?"
Why are you being so tolerant and friendly towards her?
Suddenly, a thin sheet of paper was handed to me.
"I understand your intentions."
Xiao Xiyou said something out of the blue, and seeing that she didn't move, he suddenly shoved the letter into her arms roughly and strode outside.
"What the hell? Did he get bitten in the head by some kind of Gu worm?"
Zhou Zhizhi was completely bewildered. The way Xiao Xiyou left could only be described as fleeing in panic. If she wasn't mistaken, his face was red when he left, and he wasn't even dressed properly.
[The male lead is shy~]
The system's shy voice rang in my ears.
"How can your zero-degree mouth utter words below zero?" Zhou Zhizhi's eye twitched. Was Xiao Xiyou shy towards her? Was he as shy as someone torn apart by five horses?
[If you don't believe me, open the letter and take a look.]
Zhou Zhizhi glanced suspiciously at the letter in her hand. The letter paper was thin and exuded a faint floral fragrance. The cover was stamped with a gilded seal made of dried flower petals, and a line of delicate handwriting was written on the side: "To Xiaolang, please open."
She opened it, glanced at it, quickly closed it, and threw it away as if it were burning her hand.
This is insane!
It's a love letter that Bai Wan'er wrote to Xiao Xiyou!
That day, she had just transmigrated, and the plot in the book was exactly the same: the original owner presented Xiao Xiyou with a pledge of loyalty. Bai Wan'er was also there at the time, holding a letter and awkwardly waiting outside the male lead's tent.
Zhou Zhizhi originally intended to end this ill-fated relationship with the plot of her first encounter with Xiao Xiyou and steal back the pledge of loyalty, but unexpectedly she was suddenly attacked by an assassin.
She inadvertently saved Xiao Xiyou, and the letter was lost somewhere in the chaos.
[Host, why aren't you saying anything?]
The system's cheeky voice rang in my ears, seamlessly surrounding me from every angle.
Zhou Zhizhi's lips twitched. She didn't just not want to talk; her silence was deafening!
Looking at that letter, the image of Xiao Xiyou fleeing in panic once again appeared before my eyes.
That guy probably doesn't think this is a love letter she wrote!
[Think about it from another angle: compared to killing you, the male lead liking you is actually a good thing.]
"Would you like this good fortune?"
Zhou Zhizhi spoke softly, her gaze fixed on the direction of the prince's residence, tearing the letter apart in a fit of rage, leaving shredded pieces of paper at her feet.
[Sob sob, I was just trying to help you!]
The system suddenly switched to Lin Daiyu's voice pack, and the mournful tone made Zhou Zhizhi's anger burn even more fiercely, so she slammed her fist on the ground.
"Don't mess with me, I'm more resentful than a female ghost right now."
The system glanced at the ground that had been smashed into a small crater, then quietly muted itself.
But after a while, Zhou Zhizhi suddenly slapped her forehead and stood up abruptly.
"...Have you figured it out?"
The system spoke weakly. Zhou Zhizhi's face was as white as a ghost. She stared blankly at the floor where Xiaoxiyou had once lain for a while.
Do you remember what day it is today?
