Xu Nian collapsed to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Seeing that Zhao Zhen was unharmed, she smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright."
She managed to keep her 10,000 points.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen burst into tears. "A-Nian, hang in there, I'll take you to see a doctor right away."
Xu Nian forced a smile, but under Zhao Zhen's expectant gaze, her hand fell limply to the ground.
Watching the person in his arms close their eyes, Zhao Zhen felt something inside him collapse. "A'Nian, wait for me, I'll avenge you!"
Xu Nian felt her body lighten, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw Yuanbao, that little fat pig, squatting in front of a screen playing a game.
While hitting him, he cursed, "Do you even know how to play? Daji, what are you doing running ahead? Are you a mage trying to be an assassin?"
"Han Tiaotiao, where are you jumping? You've let all the low-health enemies escape."
Xu Nian was furious!
She was working herself to the bone in the mission world, but Yuanbao had lost contact with her; it turned out she was addicted to the game.
"Yuanbao, is the game fun?" Xu Nian grabbed the little fat pig by the ears and lifted it off the game screen.
"Ah! Tongtong, host, why are you back?" Yuanbao gave a guilty, fake smile.
"Why do you think I'm back?" Xu Nian raised an eyebrow.
"Host has already spent a lifetime with the male lead so quickly?" Yuanbao was surprised. According to its calculations, it should still be able to play the game for another ten years or so.
"I'm dead." Xu Nian released Yuanbao's ear expressionlessly.
"Huh? That shouldn't be the case! The host is the female lead now, and should live to a ripe old age." With that, Yuanbao began to investigate the whole story.
Seeing its host being shot in the heart by an arrow while shielding the male protagonist, it was speechless.
Xu Nian also saw the cause of her death and sighed, "I died so hastily."
"Host, I haven't received any notification that you're dead." Yuanbao was certain that Xu Nian wasn't dead; he guessed that her soul had left her body and returned to the system space on its own.
"I'm not dead, so what state am I in now?" Xu Nian asked rhetorically.
Yuanbao pulled out a pair of glasses from somewhere and put them on, looking very knowledgeable: "Your soul has left your body, I'll send you back."
"No way. If I die, I die. What's the point of going back?" Xu Nian refused without even thinking.
“Host, your body isn’t completely dead yet.” Yuanbao had no choice but to reveal this cruel truth.
"How is that possible?" Xu Nian didn't believe it, so Yuanbao told Xu Nian to see for herself.
It turned out that Zhao Zhen had not buried her, but instead searched for famous doctors all over the country to keep her alive.
She watched Zhao Zhen take care of that body day after day, talking to it for a long time every day.
He said he had avenged her, and he hadn't let any of those who had hurt her go unpunished.
Du Hua is dead, Emperor Rong is dead, Prince Li Xian is dead, only Zhao Zhen, the culprit, is still alive.
"How could Emperor Rong have died?" Xu Nian wondered, her memory still lingering in the border city of Rong Kingdom.
"The male protagonist thought you were dead. After killing everyone in the pass, he took your body and led his troops north. Most of the people in the capital were his men, so he could break in without lifting a finger," Yuanbao explained.
"So he's the emperor now?" Xu Nian thought to herself, "Good heavens, she was an obstacle to Zhao Zhen's output while she was alive, but now that she's dead, he's seized the throne."
Yuanbao adjusted his glasses and said, "No, the male protagonist assisted a three-year-old child to be a puppet emperor, while he himself became the regent."
Xu Nian's eyes widened in surprise, "So the plot is wrong again?"
Yuanbao nodded, "Yes, the male lead gave up his initial ambition in order to wait for the day you wake up."
"This has nothing to do with me, so you can't deduct my points," Xu Nian said hurriedly.
Yuanbao looked at Xu Nian speechlessly. Was that the point?
Okay! Let's leave aside feelings; being stingy and money-loving is Xu Nian's style.
"Host, the male lead is going to be a widow for you, aren't you even a little bit moved?" Yuanbao said, exasperated.
"Not moved." Xu Nian shook her head coldly.
"The main system sent a message that you must go back, otherwise the 10,000 points will be deducted." Yuanbao had no choice but to turn on the screen and let Xu Nian read the message from the main system herself.
"Yuanbao, is this male lead your boss? The main system is really going all out for him." Xu Nian gritted her teeth after reading the message.
Thinking about how the main system was giving her more and more points each time in order to save the male lead, Xu Nian became even more certain of her idea.
"Host, don't talk nonsense. The main system is the boss of all our systems. There are no other leaders," Yuanbao said with certainty.
"Oh! Then how did the main system come about?" Xu Nian asked in return.
“Born from chaos, alright, host, don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask. There are many things I can’t tell you,” Yuanbao said earnestly.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Yuanbao, you take me back." Xu Nian asked out of curiosity.
She didn't want to know what the Quick Transmigration Bureau was like.
She just wanted to accumulate enough points so that one day she could turn back time and change her destiny.
Moreover, curiosity killed the cat; knowing too much is not a good thing.
...
Xu Nian returned to her body in the small world and immediately moved her limbs to make sure there were no adverse effects before getting out of bed and walking around.
Zhao Zhen was truly persistent; the arrow wounds on her shoulder and chest were all removed with medicine.
If she hadn't remembered it herself, she would have doubted whether this body had really been injured.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
The newcomer stood blankly at the doorway, staring intently at the woman standing in the hall.
Is he dreaming?
Zhao Zhen was unaware of this; he simply kept his eyes wide open, afraid that the scene before him would disappear if he blinked.
"Zhao Zhen, I'm hungry." Xu Nian's voice brought Zhao Zhen back to his senses. It wasn't a lie; she was talking to him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly said, "A-Nian, wait a moment, I'll have someone bring the food over right away."
But as soon as he moved, Zhao Zhen stopped and, under Xu Nian's surprised gaze, he said with a sour smile, "Nian, I'll take you to get something to eat."
"Zhao Zhen, I'm awake." Xu Nian was afraid that Zhao Zhen still thought she was dreaming, so she reached out and pinched him hard.
"How is it? Does it hurt a lot?" She smiled slightly, feeling that she had gotten her little revenge, and the resentment from being forcibly sent back had dissipated a bit!
"A-Nian, you can pinch me a few more times." Zhao Zhen's request made Xu Nian look at him with new respect.
She tiptoed and lightly kissed the man's lips, saying, "Zhao Zhen, you win. I will stay by your side for the rest of my life."
"A-Nian, you're really back!" Zhao Zhen finally realized that he felt her kiss him.
"Hey! Zhao Zhen, what are you doing? I just woke up, don't go too far!"
Inside the main hall, the woman's protests were drowned out.
After a long while, Zhao Zhencai smiled and said, "Madam, let's go eat."
Xu Nian gave him a sharp look. When he felt sorry for her, he called her "A-Nian," and when he was happy, he called her "Madam." He was so charming.
