The military doctor's lips twitched. His general was simply too wicked; he was afraid that the kid's leg might accidentally heal.
Li Yuan stared blankly as people came and went, and instantly his legs felt even heavier.
Something seems off.
Li Yuan's mind went blank for a moment, and then he was covered in sweat.
"I—" Li Yuan wanted to say that he didn't need a blanket at all and that it would be much better if he just took the cloth off, but Hua Cai wouldn't let him say that. Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Hua Cai, who had already walked to his side, flicked her fingertips like lightning, and instantly a silver needle was stuck in his throat.
The distant voice abruptly stopped, and the person stared at Hua Cai, opening and closing their mouth, but unable to utter a sound.
The military doctor on the side, however, was so impressed that he almost pounced on Li Yuan to examine the silver needles on her neck.
“You’re too weak right now. Don’t talk and rest more. With our military doctors here, nothing will happen to you.” Hua Cai sniffed and turned her head away with a sad expression. “You must take good care of yourself, otherwise, A-Zheng will never forgive me.”
As Hua Cai spoke, tears streamed down her face as she walked away, overwhelmed with sorrow.
"You bitch! Untie the bandages on my body!!!" Li Yuan watched Hua Cai's figure disappear in an instant, his eyes burning with rage as if he wanted to burn her to death, but he had no words to express his bitterness.
In just those few words, Li Yuan felt his legs were already wrinkled with sweat, and the old man staring at him menacingly had a look that was absolutely terrifying.
Hua Cai walked quite a distance from the camp before bursting into unrestrained laughter, attracting the attention of passing soldiers.
Why are all the adults in my family acting so strangely?
One is frozen for miles and then spring is in full bloom, the other laughs wildly and abnormally frequently, it's simply baffling.
"Host, what did you do to the male lead? How come he's crippled without me noticing?" Hua Cai was laughing so hard that she was doubled over when the system's voice, which she hadn't heard in a long time, suddenly rang out.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and as he looked at the ball of light that had reappeared in front of him, he reached out and grabbed it.
"Tell me, where have you been all this time?" Hua Cai glared at Guang Tuanzi with a deadpan expression.
The system, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see it, rolled its eyes fiercely.
The host's mood changed faster than turning the pages of a book. He was laughing like that just a moment ago, but the moment he saw me, his expression changed completely.
"Upgrade now! This is a free upgrade opportunity that only comes once every hundred years, how can I miss it?" The system was incredibly excited: "Only systems that have already started a mission can participate in the programmer's free upgrade event. I have never upgraded since I was invented."
The system's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.
"Oh? What's been upgraded?" Hua Cai looked coolly at the system in her hand that didn't even struggle. "It really doesn't look any different."
The system, flashing white light, immediately became dissatisfied upon hearing Hua Cai's words: "How could it not have changed? What has changed for me is my inner qualities. My appearance is not important at all."
"It's because it can't be changed." This self-comforting statement exposes the system's lack of any companionship.
System: ...Damn it, this is unfair. We're all pitiful people, why hurt each other?
"I've updated some minor content and added a vacation world. If you're tired from your missions, you can relax in the vacation world~~" The system skillfully skipped the irrefutable blow from the facts and changed the subject.
The system proudly announced the biggest surprise of this update, as if presenting a treasure.
He felt incredibly lucky; his first update in life had brought him an unprecedented surprise.
Originally, the system only had mission worlds. After countless hosts gradually lost themselves and collapsed in one mission world after another, the programmers, at the strong suggestion of many parties, finally added a vacation world specifically for mission takers to relax.
As far as he knew, the emergence of the vacation world had a tremendous impact on many mission participants, with countless mission participants spending a lot of energy to enter the mission world, which shows its popularity.
When the system announced the news, it originally wanted to keep it a secret for a while, but it was caught red-handed as soon as it appeared and was about to be questioned. Only then did it remember that it was busy going back to participate in the upgrade and forgot to tell its irritable host.
The system dropped this bombshell, waiting to see Hua Cai's excited, speechless expression, but when she looked up, she still had that same expressionless face.
"So what's the use of a vacation world? Can it really increase one's cultivation level by leaps and bounds?"
Hua Cai's complete indifference made the system feel like it had punched a cotton ball.
The host's own reaction—that's illogical.
"No—no." The system answered honestly.
Why did he also feel that this new feature was so useless after Hua Cai said that?
"By the way, I have something important to ask you." Hua Cai suddenly remembered the only female lead who was still unsettled, and was about to ask about her whereabouts when she was interrupted by a voice.
"Stop!" The voice, laced with anger, sounded strangely familiar.
Flowers are blooming.
Doesn't that sound familiar?
"Why are you blocking my way again?" Hua Cai looked at Yue Chen, who was blocking her way, with an unfriendly expression. When he stepped forward, she subconsciously took a step back.
Yue Chen stopped in his tracks, looking at Hua Cai with some displeasure: "Why are you so wary of me?"
What kind of talk is that?
Hua Cai rolled her eyes speechlessly. Who in the entire Yue Kingdom doesn't know that you, Yue Chen, have my death as your target? If I hadn't been on guard against you, would I still be alive today?
She's probably long gone back to Qingqiu, locked in a cave waiting to be married off to that scoundrel Wu Mu.
Now that the system is back, she needs to find a place to ask the female lead about things and plan how to collect all three mission objectives at once. She doesn't have time to waste here with this lunatic.
Hua Cai decided to ignore Yue Chen and turned to leave, but a figure flashed before her eyes and her path was blocked.
It's Yue Chen again.
Hua Cai looked up impatiently: "What exactly do you want? Don't force me to take action. You can't beat me."
You can't beat me.
Under normal circumstances, these words might have sounded somewhat disdainful, but Yue Chen, who had been hearing them for two and a half years, remained as calm as if he had just heard a "Have you eaten?" He simply stood in front of Hua Cai without moving.
"You went to see Li Yuan again." Yue Chen stared into Hua Cai's eyes and stated a fact.
Hua Cai looked completely bewildered.
"You like Li Zheng that much, even though he almost ruined your family and clan, even though he was willing to make you bear the infamy and become a sinner of the Li Kingdom for a hypocritical woman."
