"Are there any other benefits? I can consider it." Jiang Ling supported his face and looked at it.
Fox had no other options. Her soft paws clung to the edge of the bed, tears glistening in her eyes as she blinked her large fox eyes. Her nine tails swayed back and forth as she spoke in a mournful voice, "There are no other benefits, but there is one downside. If the host doesn't complete the mission, he will have to live in this world until he dies."
Seeing Jiang Ling was about to get up to find the scissors, Hu Hu grabbed her hand and said pitifully: "And I will also be shattered into ashes on the day you die."
"Host, can you really bear to see Foxy turn into a puff of smoke and disappear from this world?" Foxy looked at her closely with tears in her eyes.
"hiss--"
This little fox is really a little cute.
Hearing her thoughts, Foxy worked even harder, even grabbing her hand and shaking it.
Seeing it like this, Jiang Ling narrowed his eyes: "Can you hear my voice?"
Hu Hu's body froze, and she almost cried in fear. Under Jiang Ling's gaze, she confessed the truth: "Yes, so the master wants to talk to me. I just need to think about it in my mind, so it won't be easily exposed."
"But I will really be scared to death." Fox hugged her hands tightly.
"Tsk." Jiang Ling stroked its fur twice, "The fox is really cunning." Knowing that her only weakness was that she couldn't stand seeing pitiful and cute people or things, just like when Zizhen came in and was about to cry just now, she still gave in.
"Okay, I promise you."
Before Fox could cheer, she said she had a request.
"You need to be there whenever I need you." After all, she was unfamiliar with the place and needed a helping hand. "And you need to allow me to touch you and hold you, okay?" The fox fur felt incredibly comfortable.
Foxy agreed ten thousand times, "That's absolutely fine!"
"Then host, I am going to issue the task now~"
Jiang Ling nodded to indicate yes.
Fox suddenly felt that it was so humble. It couldn't be the most humble system in the world. It had to seek the host's consent to issue tasks. Fox felt bitter, but didn't dare to say it.
[Ding~ Mission delivered.]
System announcement sound.
[Main Quest: Please capture the protagonist Zhou Jing'an and reach a Favorability of 100 and a Loyalty of 100%. Additionally, as the story progresses, side quests and random quests will be triggered, giving you corresponding plot hints and rewards. Please complete the quest as soon as possible.]
"Wait." Jiang Ling suddenly realized a problem. "If my mission succeeds, wouldn't that be equivalent to breaking up the original hero and heroine in the book?"
The heroine is pure and innocent, a lady from a noble family. She and the hero should have lived happily ever after, but she came to interfere. Isn't that breaking up a couple?
If I really completed the task, how pitiful the heroine would be.
"No, no, I can't do such a wicked thing." Jiang Ling waved her hands. As the old saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage.
Fox said anxiously: "Host, don't be anxious! I was just about to explain to you."
"This mission is special because the hero and heroine are not a good match."
Fox asked her, "Are you following this book? Is it not finished yet?"
Jiang Ling nodded. This was a new classical Chinese novel she had recently discovered, called "I Wish to Love You Forever, and Share the Prosperity with You." It told the story of Shen Qingru, the daughter of a chancellor, who was lost as a child and returned to the chancellor's mansion after five years of wandering. At the age of 15, she met and fell in love with Zhou Jing'an, the prime minister's son. Together, they overcame all obstacles and finally married. That's what the synopsis said, anyway.
The latest chapter she had read was Chapter 120. The two had overcome numerous obstacles, broken down various misunderstandings, and expressed their feelings for each other, and had come together. Zhou Jing'an was about to propose marriage to the Shangshu Mansion.
I think the subsequent plot is also very simple. It is nothing more than the two getting married successfully and living happily ever after.
Hu Hu heard her thoughts and said to her, "But in the 121st chapter that the author updated before your car accident, the Shangshu Mansion was suddenly burned down, and only Shen Qingru escaped. Zhou Jing'an felt sorry for her and became an orphan. He was afraid of being criticized, so he wanted his biological sister, the current empress, to adopt her as a sister and then ask the emperor to grant her a marriage."
Jiang Ling was stunned. A sudden fire? A disaster for the entire mansion? Could it be a revenge plot by an enemy?
How come such a good romance novel is becoming more and more melodramatic?
Hu Hu spread her hands to indicate that she didn't know either, saying, "The Lord God has determined that the heroine of this story, Shen Qingru, isn't as gentle and harmless as she appears. On the contrary, while being affectionate with the hero, she's also been flirting with other young men, making people doubt her intentions. Now that the Shangshu Mansion has suddenly encountered misfortune, she's become the Queen's adopted sister, and her worth has doubled."
Jiang Ling understood, which means that Shen Qingru didn't really like the male protagonist at all, but was using him to achieve a certain purpose.
Seeing Jiang Ling lost in thought, Foxy wagged its tail. In fact, it already knew the whole story, but the truth needed to be uncovered by Jiang Ling himself.
"Because the plot changes have caused chaos in the world of the book, I took advantage of the chaos to squeeze you in through the cracks of the world. The purpose of letting you conquer the male protagonist is actually to make him recognize Shen Qingru. Don't be fooled."
Foxy blinked. "How is it? Do you feel like you have a heavy responsibility?"
Jiang Ling shook her head: "I feel unlucky."
"Hahaha, don't think too much, host, take action quickly. You have been hanging yourself and jumping into the lake this afternoon, which scared your maids. By the way, I want to remind you that your father and your brother went to the outskirts of Beijing to suppress bandits and will be back soon. Your mother has also attended the banquet. Think about how to explain it later." Fox reminded kindly.
"How did the original owner die? Where are her memories?" Since Jiang Ling accepted the task, she naturally had to take responsibility. Besides, her previous behavior did need to be explained. She couldn't say that she committed suicide in order to travel back in time.
Foxy nodded a few times with his little paws. "Of course, Shen Qingru killed him. I'm transferring the original owner's memories to you now."
Jiang Ling instantly felt as if something like a scroll passed quickly in front of his eyes, and an additional memory appeared in his head.
She sorted it out roughly and figured out the current situation.
Foxy took the walnut biscuits beside her and started eating. "What are your plans? How are you going to attract the male protagonist's attention?"
Jiang Ling stood up and stretched herself, raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes bright: "Of course we are going to follow the old path, this title of green tea can't be taken for nothing."
