Zhao Qiang's words carried an undisguised unease. Hua Cai sighed inwardly and said calmly, "Does Master believe me?"
"I believe everything Minmin says," Zhao Qiang replied softly, looking down at the long sword in his hand, a smile finally appearing on his face.
“Then it’s true.” Hua Cai replied casually, but in her heart she was considering Zhao Qiang’s words.
Zhao Min is going to the Central Plains with the Prince of Ruyang. It seems that the person she is tasked with is also going. She was originally thinking that she would have some time to think of a solution, but she didn't expect that they would be setting off so soon.
Heading to the Central Plains means Zhao Qiang is not far from death.
Hua Cai looked up at the sky speechlessly. "System, come out here! What happened to the adaptation task?" The task objective was about to "set off."
"I want to go with Minmin." Zhao Qiang just needed someone to give him a definite answer, and sure enough, his little maid's agreement gave him confidence, and he was ready to chase after the beauty all the way.
“Master, do whatever you want. No matter what you decide, Wenxiang will follow you,” Huacai said earnestly.
There's no way to stop them anyway.
She was also helpless; given her current status, how could she possibly separate the person in front of her from the one she loved by thousands of miles?
I should just wash up and go to bed.
Zhao Qiang didn't care about Hua Cai's helplessness. He took her words as encouragement, which swept away his dejection when he first started practicing swordsmanship and instantly revived him.
"No need, you wait for me here. I will definitely bring Minmin back with me." Zhao Qiang handed his sword to Hua Cai and turned around excitedly. "I need to get some rest. If I have to leave suddenly tomorrow, I won't be in good spirits, and Minmin will be unhappy if she sees me like that."
"Huh? Well? I—" Hua Cai realized that Zhao Qiang didn't intend to take her along.
How can this be? He might never come back. Am I supposed to stay here like Wenxiang in the story, eating, sleeping, and fattening up so that I can take up more space when I become a burial object?
No way.
"Master, please wait a moment." Hua Cai hurriedly ran after him, "Master, please take Wenxiang with you."
Zhao Qiang was stopped by Hua Cai and looked at her strangely.
Going to the Central Plains is no easy task; it's fraught with danger. The martial arts world of the Central Plains won't be friendly to these foreign invaders. In contrast, the Great Jin is safe and sound.
“Wenxiang, don’t worry. My Great Jin’s troops will be going with us, and many experts will be accompanying us. There will be no trouble. Moreover—” Zhao Qiang cleared his throat awkwardly, “It’s fine if we stay in our own palace, but if we go out with a woman, Minmin will definitely be unhappy.”
Even just mentioning Zhao Min's name couldn't stop Zhao Qiang from breaking into a happy smile.
Hua Cai remained silent, and even Zhao Qiang's departing figure looked so cheerful from behind.
“Baozi, tell me, how could someone so devoted give up so quickly? As long as he doesn’t give up, he’ll definitely become a thorn in the side of the male and female leads, and he won’t have a good ending. Baozi, you’re not lying to me, are you? Is this really a beginner’s adaptation task?” Hua Cai looked at Zhao Qiang’s departing figure and suddenly began to feel sorry for him.
They're really pathetic.
"Huh? What's going on? Why did Zhao Qiang leave? Didn't you stop him? He's going to die! My merit points..." The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly burst into a scream, making Hua Cai's ears go numb.
Hua Cai silently picked at her ear, then turned and walked into the house.
"What are you doing? Why did you go back?" The system got anxious when it didn't get a response, and a white ball of fluff flew up in front of Hua Cai's eyes in an instant.
The dazzling white light made Hua Cai's eyes spin, and she immediately seized the opportunity to grab the white ball that had entered berserk mode.
"You're so noisy. Of course I'm going to sleep in my room at night." Hua Cai said, stepping into the room. With a wave of her hand, the white ball of a system instantly turned into a shooting star and flew out.
Bang—Hua Cai slammed the door shut without hesitation.
Are you kidding me? Someone who died in the end because of her beloved's plan and had no resentment in her heart, now you want her to stop him from walking alongside him? That's such a stupid thing to do. If she really did that, she would probably be arrested as someone with ulterior motives.
It's too difficult.
Besides—I won't be happy or motivated if I can't go to the futuristic technological world.
Hua Cai had just crawled back into bed when a ball of light suddenly passed through the wall and entered.
He is not a physical entity, so walls and the like pose no obstacle to him if he so chooses.
The system was annoyed; how did this little fox manage to catch it just now?
"Host, please don't do this!" The system was almost crying. It had already exhausted its energy due to the failure of the first host's mission, and it had stayed in a place with abundant spiritual energy like Qingqiu for nearly a hundred years before it recovered. It was just enough to travel through one world, but the host suddenly became uncooperative. What could be done?
Oh no! This isn't Qingqiu. With the spiritual energy here, I'll definitely be unable to make ends meet and won't be able to survive for long.
"Host, wake up, stop sleeping." The system's voice was already trembling with tears: "If we don't complete the mission, we'll be stuck in this world and won't be able to get out."
"Hmm, really?" Hua Cai lazily turned over: "It's okay, Daddy will have Xiao Kong take me back."
The system's sobbing stopped abruptly. "It...it can do that?"
"Don't be like that—Princess, let's go to the technology world after we finish this mission, really—" The system was suffering inside. When could it return to the embrace of the programmers?
The system sadly wiped away its tears, and when it looked up, it saw an enlarged face appear before it.
Hua Cai, who seemed about to fall asleep any second ago, has somehow sat up and is looking at him with great enthusiasm.
"Really? You mean it?" Hua Cai grinned, giving the system a smug smile.
The system was confused.
This is...this is too despicable.
What about the most basic trust between the fox and the system?
"Really, we'll go in the next... no, the world after that." The system suddenly changed its tone.
There was no sound.
Hua Cai stared at him coldly, a murderous glint in her eyes: "Are you teasing me? Or... do you want to die?"
She was truly enraged. As the young princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, a favorite of Heaven, how many people dared to tease her like this?
"I...I...I..." The system felt a bit stuck and had difficulty running. Its voice stammered, and a faint red light appeared in Hua Cai's eyes. It quickly sorted out its words: "There is...there is a reason."
“You say,” Hua Cai coldly raised her chin, her eyes conveying a clear meaning: “If you cannot convince me, your life will end here.”
