As Xuan Yuanlie's lips drew closer, Xiang Wan suddenly smiled happily and asked hopefully, "Ah Lie, are you going to marry me? If you want to marry me as your general's wife, the dowry must be the most luxurious in the entire universe. I want everyone in the universe to envy me. In that case, it wouldn't be impossible for us to consummate our marriage before we get married."
The smug satisfaction of her successful scheme was like a bucket of cold water poured over Xuan Yuanlie, extinguishing his burning passion and extinguishing his sudden desire. Calming down, Xuan Yuanlie looked at Wan's expression and felt something was off. He finally released her from his grasp and prepared to leave.
Having annoyed her, she wanted to back off, but it would be a waste of the pain in her mouth if she didn't annoy Xuan Yuanlie. As soon as Xiang Wan's hands were free, she wrapped them around Xuan Yuanlie's neck and said shyly, "Ah Lie, don't you like me anymore? I'm all ready. We'll register when we get back. If you're not satisfied with the betrothal gifts, you can give me less, I'm not unreasonable. Come on, let's give each other a kiss!"
Xiang Wan pouted, deliberately exposing the part of her wound he had bitten, and pushed her head closer. She couldn't see her own reflection, but the image reflected in Xuan Yuanlie's eyes looked exactly like a bullying woman forcibly taking a man from a commoner's family. Even Xiang Wan herself couldn't stand it, let alone Xuan Yuanlie.
He lowered his head, slipped out of Xiang Wan's arm, jumped off the bed, and walked out without looking back.
"Hey, don't go! How can you bear to leave me all alone?"
It would have been better if he hadn't spoken; the more he spoke, the faster Xuan Yuanlie walked.
She was alone in the room. Xiang Wan calmed down, applied medicine to herself, and asked the system about the corruption.
"Xiao Qi, don't tell me that the 'Darkness Value' stat was obtained by exchanging my rewards. I don't need that thing."
"Oh dear, host, you've wronged this system. This was clearly triggered by yourself, and has absolutely nothing to do with this system."
"Then tell me, what's the use of the 'darkening value'?"
"That's a question for you to answer. This is the first time this system has encountered something like this. Based on this system's speculation, this kind of data may only be useful to you, the host. Since you were the one who started it, it will probably end up affecting you in the end."
"Why? Wasn't this the task you assigned me? Why aren't you bearing the consequences?"
"I've already told you, this system is one with you. If you're not doing well, how can I be doing well? So, host, just focus on completing the mission. Maybe this thing has other uses."
System: Can it tell the truth? Absolutely not. If it angers the host again and then abandons the system, taking its anger out on it, it's not worth it. Host, good luck. This system is better off quietly playing the fool.
Xiang Wan pondered for a while, feeling that the "darkening value" was definitely not a good thing, but since even the system didn't know, she didn't need to worry about it. She would deal with it when things came to a head and deal with it when things really got tough.
I checked the corruption values again; Xuan Yuanlie's had dropped to 50, while Lou Yu'er's had changed to 50. The change was too fast, it was truly inexplicable!
For several days afterward, Xuan Yuanlie didn't come to see Xiang Wan. Xiang Wan was happy to be free. Besides practicing with Qian Xiaoqi, who was secretly tipping her off, she also kept an eye on the ship's flight path and studied how to operate it.
On the surface, the flight direction appeared random, but in reality, it was purposeful. Xuan Yuanlie had the airship deliberately avoid several guard posts and head towards a relatively remote planet. As expected, several airships were indeed secretly following behind the main ship.
After several space jumps, they arrived at a planet called Snowfield. This was a relatively remote planet in the universe, covered in ice and snow year-round, with the warmest days lasting no more than ten days a year, and the highest temperature only reaching ten degrees Celsius. The original inhabitants were few, and most lived by hunting. Others who came here were either conducting underground transactions undercover or had other motives. Although there was a garrison here, the vast land and large population made it impossible to manage them all. Xuan Yuanlie chose this place first to give the hidden enemies an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, thus drawing out the mastermind behind it all.
After changing into warm clothes, Xiang Wan carried her prepared belongings with her and followed Xuan Yuanlie and the others to an underground hotel for accommodation.
They traveled in plain clothes, keeping a low profile as much as possible. Everyone used aliases, thankfully there was no need to register identity information here. The residents were a mixed bag, and seeing that Xiang Wan and her group didn't seem like someone to be trifled with, no one dared to make a move.
That evening, Xuan Yuanlie summoned Xiang Wan to his room and asked her to change his appearance so that no one would recognize him. Xiang Wan knew that Xuan Yuanlie was probably about to take action, so without saying a word, she gave him the face of a rough fisherman, along with a coarse linen shirt. If he didn't speak, no one would recognize him.
Xuan Yuanlie stared at himself in the mirror for a long time, then stared at Xiang Wan without saying a word, lost in thought.
Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Xiang Wan turned to leave. Her hand had barely touched the doorknob when something clicked shut. She looked up and saw something that looked like a bracelet on her wrist, occasionally flashing a faint, eerie light.
"What did you put on me? Take it off quickly. If you wear it out at night, it will be easy to be exposed."
Xuan Yuanlie grabbed her hand and fiddled with something. The eerie light disappeared, the bracelet shrank, and it was firmly fixed to her wrist, with very limited range of movement.
"alright."
He dismissed Xiang Wan with just two words, "Xuan Yuan Lie," and pushed her out the door, ignoring her furious banging. Finally, when the people around her, annoyed by her noise, started staring at her, she sullenly returned to her room.
"Xiao Qi, what do you think Xuan Yuanlie is trying to do? What kind of crap is this? What if I gain weight, won't this thing be embedded in my flesh?"
At this point, what does gaining weight have to do with anything? The host couldn't grasp the point, so 007 had to reluctantly explain, "Weren't you planning to lure the enemy in? Xuan Yuanlie was afraid you'd get lost, so he put a child-prevention device on you. So it seems your mission is about to be completed. Aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised?"
Xiang Wan's attention was immediately drawn to the message "Mission is about to be completed." Nothing is more important than completing the mission. She needed to think carefully about how to get rid of Xuan Yuanlie after the mission was finished.
The system silently rolled its eyes. Could it tell its host that Xuan Yuanlie's corruption level had already risen to 80 the moment it put the tracking device on her? Since the host hadn't noticed, it was better to pretend it hadn't seen anything. Hmm, silently watching the show suited it better!
That's why people say that the type of host determines the type of system.
Xiang Wan, who was silently tricked, encountered trouble that very night, and not just one thing.
