These people never considered who they were; their eyes were always fixed on others.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence wouldn't associate with them.
…………
Lu Huaijiao was unaware that she had been placed on the list of the most unreliable wives in the Gu family, and that she had even bravely taken first place.
She was walking towards the educated youth settlement.
As I walked, I talked to 998 in my mind as he returned.
'So? Did you find a way to get rid of Lu Sisi?'
She still longed for Lu Sisi's so-called spiritual spring.
998 had just returned and hadn't even had a chance to catch its breath when it heard Lu Huaijiao's words, giving its system a terrible headache.
'Can you let me catch my breath before we talk?'
'Huh? Aren't you the system? You need to rest too?'
998: ...
That does seem to make sense, doesn't it?
The system definitely doesn't need to rest!
998 was lost in thought when she suddenly realized that she had almost been led astray by Lu Huaijiao again.
With Lu Huaijiao as its host, it's really easy for it to get tricked if it's not careful for even a moment!
998 took a deep breath to calm its wildly beating heart before speaking in Lu Huaijiao's mind.
"Of course! Don't you know who I am? I'm the all-around expert, 998. Is there anything I can't handle?"
998 is really not modest.
Honestly, if it weren't for its foster relationship with Lu Huaijiao, Lu Huaijiao might have become true friends with 998. But unfortunately, because it resides in her mind, Lu Huaijiao has become its landlord.
We have to squeeze it dry.
'Alright, tell me, how do we get it over here? Shall we go find Lu Sisi now?'
'I can't handle it.'
'Um? '
Lu Huaijiao was puzzled, and blinked in reality as well.
'998, are you kidding me? Do you think it's fun to tease me?' The tone gradually became dangerous.
998 felt a shiver, not from the cold, but from being frightened by Lu Huaijiao.
"Listen to me first, don't be impatient," 998 quickly said, afraid that if Lu Huaijiao lost her temper, she would lock it in the dark room forever.
It's important to know that their systems also need to be exposed to sunlight, dew, and air. Even though they don't have physical contact with these substances, the sensations stored in their minds still count.
If it's kept in a dark room for a long time, it will die from lack of sunlight before Lu Huaijiao even has a chance to kill it.
It discovered this secret in the past few days. It was a secret of life and death, and it had to do its best to keep it safe and not let Lu Huaijiao know.
'Speak.'
Lu Huaijiao's voice interrupted 998.
998 cleared its throat and began to report to Lu Huaijiao.
"You know Lu Sisi is the destined heroine. Because of the protection of the Heavenly Dao in this small world, her luck is better than most people's."
'I'm talking about the sacred spring; what I want is the sacred spring.'
Lu Huaijiao had little patience.
998 sighed.
'Listen to me, what's the rush, host?'
"Hmm?" Lu Huaijiao gave a cold "hmm".
998 became a coward in a second.
'Okay, I was wrong. I haven't been able to find a way to get that spiritual spring over these past few days, but I've found a way to make it disappear.'
Fearing that Lu Huaijiao would find it unreliable, 998 quickly added more information after finishing speaking.
"Once we strip her of her destiny, the spiritual spring within her will naturally disappear. The spiritual spring is a reward for the chosen one; if she is not the chosen one, Heaven has abandoned her, and naturally, it will take away the spiritual spring from her."
In short, whenever Lu Sisi has bad luck, the spiritual spring within her body will slowly leave her. When she becomes so unlucky that she even trips while walking, the spiritual spring will disappear without a trace.
'I've checked. Only you, host, can completely drain Lu Sisi's luck.'
Although 998 was very unhappy about submitting to Lu Huaijiao, a true man can bend and stretch, and for its own safety, it had no choice but to endure the humiliation.
Fearing that Lu Huaijiao wouldn't believe it, it continued, "I've noticed these past few days that Lu Sisi's luck has been clouded; she seems to be plagued by bad luck lately."
Lu Huaijiao hummed in response.
I think I understand a little bit of the truth now.
Especially the last sentence of 998, Lu Huaijiao realized it in an instant.
'Lu Huaiyu is dead, and the police must have uncovered something, which is why Lu Sisi's luck has been tarnished; she's currently experiencing bad luck.'
'If I made her carry manure every day, wouldn't she be even more unlucky?'
After all, she was in contact with that filthy excrement every day. Lu Huaijiao thought that even a pearl would get dirty, let alone Lu Sisi, her daughter who was about to be abandoned by the heavens.
I'm not sure about 998.
But it thought it was worth a try.
"Don't worry, host. I've returned from my evolutionary studies these past few days, and I can now see Lu Sisi's luck index. Bring her over here, and we'll work together to figure out how to completely destroy her luck."
998 suddenly became very understanding.
This made Lu Huaijiao feel flattered and surprised.
"Great job, 998! You've got a high level of awareness. Looks like I'll have to send you to more training sessions in the future. You've already mastered the skills; very good, really very good."
