"Daddy, I just love him, I won't marry anyone but him, please help me think of a way to make him like me?" The young girl was in love, her voice was delicate, but full of distress and sorrow.
The instincts that had been dormant in Di Xiu's soul made him, the moment he regained consciousness, twist the hand that was shaking his arm and push it away without any mercy.
"Ouch, it hurts! Daddy, what are you doing? You hurt me, waaaaah..." The girl fell to the ground, tears welling in her eyes, and glared at him accusingly with her scraped palms out.
Emperor Xiu: "..."
The system 001 that came with him popped up a little later. It looked like a three or four-year-old boy, but its mental age was definitely more than three or four. It said with schadenfreude, "You made the female lead cry. Hurry up and comfort her or she'll hit you with her little fists."
Emperor Xiu was actually very annoyed. He had been trapped and sealed for a thousand years, and after being released, he immediately began a time-space escape. No one could help but be annoyed.
However, he still had a certain degree of tolerance for the system that he had dragged into the escape with, but that didn't mean he would tolerate this human woman who kept crying.
He glanced at her once before looking away, a surge of disgust rising within him, because she looked too much like the fiancée who had caused his downfall.
While keeping an eye on his surroundings, he said to her, "Get out."
He had already restrained himself from using the word "get lost".
The girl didn't receive the comfort she expected, and her bright eyes widened in surprise. Even so, tears streamed down her face like broken beads.
She still couldn't believe that her father, who had always doted on her, was suddenly so cold. She held her hand out to him, but he just glanced at her with disgust and disdain. It felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.
001: "So ungentlemanly?"
Di Xiu chuckled, feeling a tightness in his throat. He casually tugged at his strange collar, then spoke again to drive the girl away: "Get out. Don't make me... make me say it a third time."
The girl jumped up, angrily grabbed a set of fine purple clay teapots from the table and smashed them at him, then ran out of the room without looking back, shouting as she did so.
"You're not my daddy, I hate you, and I never want to see you again."
001 was dumbfounded: "This female lead looks to be at least twenty years old, how come she still acts like a brat?"
Di Xiu lowered his hand from his face, looked down at the shattered fragments that had pierced his palm, and expressionlessly pulled them out one by one. But even after staring for a long time, the wound was still bleeding profusely.
001 was forced to be locked up with him for a thousand years—although they actually spent less than a year together, she still knew him to some extent.
After realizing what he was doing, 001 burst into laughter: "Master, you're just an ordinary mortal now. If you could heal instantly, you'd be arrested and dissected, hahaha."
Emperor Xiu ignored its nonsense, casually waved his hand, and got straight to the point: "Don't waste time, what do I need to do?"
"Oh right, I need to look for it..."
001's words were interrupted by the sound of running: "Sir, what happened? Miss just ran out crying, and I've already sent someone to catch up with her."
Upon hearing the sound, a middle-aged man came up. He had short, shiny hair that was neatly combed back. His features were unremarkable. He wore a very neat black outfit without a single wrinkle, with a pure white undershirt underneath.
Di Xiu subtly observed him, guessing that these strange clothes must be a characteristic of this world.
Seeing that Di Xiu remained silent, the middle-aged man earnestly advised, "Sir, although Huo Ting may not be wealthy, he is capable and will rise to prominence sooner or later. Moreover, he is handsome, has no bad habits, and most importantly, Miss likes him. Why do you have to be the villain..."
Di Xiu listened for a while, but saw that he was just standing there praising Huo Ting in various ways, without providing any useful information.
"go out."
The rambling stopped abruptly, as if the sleep covering his eyes had been shaken off by the noise. The middle-aged man finally noticed the mess on the ground and his bright red, bloody hand, and exclaimed in shock, "Sir, what happened to your hand?"
Di Xiu, unable to bear it any longer, strode over, shoved the person out, and slammed the door shut behind him.
"Are you angry?" 001 asked hesitantly.
Di Xiu shook his head indifferently: "Continue."
"You should go and treat your wound first. Your body isn't what it used to be, and tetanus can be fatal."
Emperor Xiu didn't understand tetanus, but he still knew about the vulnerability of mortals.
Following 001's instructions, he successfully found the toilet attached to the room, and then smoothly turned on the tap to wash away the blood on his palms. Without any regard for appearances, he began to tear off his clothes to bandage his wounds.
The clothes are made of silk and tear easily.
In front of the pool was a gleaming mirror. Di Xiu carefully examined the appearance of this body and once again gave it an unremarkable evaluation.
001 suspected he was face-blind, especially after hearing him say that the female lead was also unremarkable, which solidified her belief.
However, these are all minor issues; none of them are as good-looking as the original host.
"Master, aren't you surprised to see this?"
Emperor Xiu's attitude towards 001 was quite amiable: "The world is full of wonders, what's so surprising?"
After the bandage was finished, Di Xiu sat back down. 001 continued, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am from the Time and Space Administration Bureau, belonging to the Wronged Seeds Group, number 001. Your mission is to help some of the great wronged beings in these small worlds fulfill their wishes. Ten missions will earn you the opportunity to go back and take revenge yourself. Also, you can do some good deeds and accumulate some merit. We will split the merit 30/70, you get 30% and I get 70%."
