Chapter 492 Gu Mingyue
Gu Jiayue stared at Yue'er for a long moment before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Her brows relaxed a bit, and her tone was a bit helpless. "Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any more. If I accomplish anything in the future, you'll definitely get half the credit."
She paused, leaned forward, and said in a loud voice, "From today on, you are my biological sister. I will protect you for the rest of my life."
The cockroach in the small house jumped up and spun around inside. It smiled as it regained consciousness, its antennae trembling with joy. "Thank you, sister!"
The pill is not big, but Yue'er, as a cockroach, can't eat it in one bite.
Yue'er held the pill with her two front paws, and her other four feet tightly grasped the table. She opened and closed her little mouth, chewing on it in small bites.
The shell-like mouth exerted a little force, stopping from time to time to take a breath, and the six legs were also quietly adjusting their posture, for fear of dropping the pill.
A quarter of an hour later, the pill was finally finished.
Yue'er had just breathed a sigh of relief when her body suddenly began to tremble violently, as if she had been thrown into boiling water, or as if countless fine needles were pricking her body.
She rolled over on the table, her body curling up and then suddenly expanding, whimpers of pain coming through her consciousness. "Ah—it hurts! It hurts more than last time!"
"Wow... Am I going to die?" She rolled to the edge of the table and almost fell off, then quickly hooked her hind legs on the edge of the table. Gu Jiayue caught her quickly and put her back on the bed.
Her voice was filled with tears and unspeakable pain, but she was still hurriedly explaining, "Sister Gu, if I don't make it, remember to burn the little house that Brother Qinghe made for me, those little skirts... and the new storybooks that have arrived in the shop. I want one of each!"
Gu Jiayue looked at her struggling in pain, her heart tightened and her fingertips felt cold.
She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she was afraid of hurting the tiny body, so she could only bite her lip. "Yue'er, stop imagining random things! Listen to the system, focus, silently say 'I want to leave' in your mind, and struggle out!"
"I... I'm struggling!" Yue'er's consciousness was intermittent, and she cried out in pain.
"Detecting that the host is experiencing level 10 pain, the system automatically triggers the protection function!"
"Protection function activated, host pain has been reduced to 20%!"
"The host's soul has been detected to be unstable and showing signs of leaving the body. Does it need to be stabilized?"
As soon as the mechanical sound fell, Yue'er clearly felt that the pain that was about to tear her apart was relieved a lot.
She gritted her teeth and, using the momentum, screamed in her heart, "Don't be stable! Don't be stable! System, help me peel my soul out and put it into the body next to it!"
"The system has received the request and is assisting in stripping the soul."
"An ownerless simulated human body detected. Do you wish to enter?"
"Go in!" Yue'er's consciousness was filled with determination to go all out.
With the help of the system, the peeling force seemed to have two more hands adding fuel to the fire.
After a while, Yue'er felt her whole soul lighten, and then she lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, I could feel warm skin and soft fabric.
This body was specially made by Gu Jiayue at a great expense. The skin was naturally pink and white, the hair was black and smooth and spread on the pillow, and the body proportions and facial features were all very delicate.
Yue'er moved her fingers tentatively and raised her arms. Her joints were very flexible.
She sat up suddenly, looked down at her hands, and touched her hair. Her eyes lit up surprisingly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. "Ah! It really is a human body!"
She turned to look at Xiao Du, who was floating in the air, her fingertips still gently pulling at her hair. "Xiao Du, will this body... cause my hair to fall out?"
Xiao Du landed on her shoulder, his voice tinged with pride. "System-made, absolutely flawless. Hair loss, which would earn you negative reviews, is something the mall won't tolerate."
Yue'er's eyes widened even more, and she rubbed her hair with her hands, and sure enough, not a single hair fell out.
She leaned closer to the mirror and pointed under her eyes. "Will I get dark circles if I stay up late reading storybooks?"
“No dark circles, no acne.”
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
Yue'er covered her mouth and laughed out loud, her eyebrows and eyes curved into crescents.
She pinched her arm again, feeling it soft and elastic, and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't lose my hair, I don't get acne, I don't gain weight, and I don't get sick... I'm just slowly getting older with each passing year. Where are the flaws in this body? It's clearly all good!"
Gu Jiayue, watching her from the side, looked at her with a hint of envy. She turned to ask the system, "Next time, can we start the mission directly using the simulated body? Without occupying someone else's body?"
"Yes, but it will increase the difficulty of the mission." The system's voice remained steady. "Occupying another person's body allows you to directly inherit their social connections and relationships, and your identity is often related to the mission objectives. Using a simulated body requires you to build your identity from scratch, planning and calculating everything yourself. The time required and the difficulty of the mission will increase exponentially."
"It's okay. If you can continue the mission in the future, make a simulated body for me." Gu Jiayue said without hesitation and in a firm tone.
"I need to withdraw a large amount of education value in advance. Are you sure?"
"Sure."
I just told the system that Yue'er has completely adapted to her new body.
She circled the room and stopped in front of Gu Jiayue, tilting her head and thinking. "Sister Gu, what name should I give myself?"
"How about calling me Gu Mingyue?" There was a hint of excitement in her voice when she said these three words.
Gu Jiayue looked into her sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile. "That's fine, as long as you like it. I'll find Zheng Qinghe tomorrow and ask him to register your household registration."
Just as he finished speaking, Hu Zi's voice came from outside the courtyard gate. "Miss, County Magistrate Zheng is here and wants to see you."
Gu Jiayue raised her eyebrows. Speak of the devil and he will appear.
She said loudly, "I understand. Let him wait in the yard. I'll be right there."
Turning to look at Yue'er, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, gently tapping her new face in the mirror with her fingers, her eyes full of curiosity.
This face was about 70% similar to her original appearance. After being adjusted according to her requirements, the similarity decreased a little, but when the eyebrows and eyes were curved, one could still see some of her former shadow.
"Yue'er, wait in the room first." Gu Jiayue instructed, "After I'm done with this, I'll take you out for a walk. Just say you're a good friend I met in Kyoto and that you came to seek refuge with me, so everyone can recognize you."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yue'er turned around and smiled at her, her mouth wide open, revealing two small canine teeth.
Gu Jiayue walked out of the room and just walked into the yard, she saw Zheng Qinghe pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, the hem of his blue skirt swaying gently in the wind.
Seeing her come out, he immediately stopped and walked towards her quickly, his eyes wide and his tone full of anxiety. "Jiayue, where's Xiaoqiang? Is he okay? Did he miss me? Did he behave well during dinner today?"
Gu Jiayue took something out from her sleeve and handed it over.
It was the soulless, limp, lifeless simulated cockroach shell.
As soon as Zheng Qinghe's eyes fell on the thing, his face turned pale.
He took a step back suddenly, his pupils shrank tightly, and his voice trembled with disbelief. "You...you killed it?"
