[Ahhh, host, what are you doing?] The system instantly became excited, even the electronic music sounded unstable, too high-frequency, and even had a crackling sound.
"It's nothing, I just don't want to live anymore. I'm so useless, I'd rather not let you suffer with me. Get out of my body quickly, go find a good family, eat well and drink well, instead of suffering like I have, going hungry nine times out of three days."
Xu Wanying's tone was very calm, but coupled with the wound on her neck, it revealed a complete madness.
[No, no, I misspoke just now. Put the knife down first, and let's talk this out! This is ancient times, and medical conditions are very poor. Your body is delicate and fragile. If it gets infected and you die, there will be no one to complain to!] The system's speech became extremely fast, like it was rapping.
Xu Wanying raised an eyebrow: "Are you still going to argue with me?"
[No more noise, no more noise, I absolutely won't disturb your peaceful sleep again. Disturbing the host's sleep, I'm truly a damned, wicked system!] The system immediately backed down, and its words revealed a lot.
It is obvious that after it was bound to Xu Wanying, the system was bound to her and she would share both honor and disgrace. If the host died, the system would not be able to get away with it either. Otherwise, the system would not have reacted so strongly to Xu Wanying's threat of suicide.
After the system yielded, Xu Wanying finally withdrew the dagger.
"You're smart enough to know when to stop. I'm not sleepy anymore. So tell me, how are things going with the Jiang brothers?" She took out a handkerchief, pressed it against her neck, lay back on the bed, and said slowly.
The dagger was very sharp, and her skin was very delicate, so it cut her easily.
However, she held back and didn't use much force, so the wound wasn't deep and the bleeding stopped quickly.
After Xu Wanying's actions, the system was no longer as arrogant as before, and instead obediently reported: [The Jiang brothers were locked in combat, but Jiang Chengxiao had no intention of continuing the fight and seized an opportunity to escape. Jiang Chengli did not pursue him.]
[Tsk tsk, Jiang Chengli's eyes are truly terrifying, like he wants to kill someone. He's clearly deeply in love with Xing Xiaoya; anyone who tries to get close to her triggers his murderous intent. I wonder if he even recognizes that this is his second brother.]
The system even took the time to comment a couple of times. Xu Wanying was already quite used to its behavior of praising Xing Xiaoya in just three sentences.
[Hey, another group of people, eight in total, all nimble men in black. They've already climbed onto Xing Xiaoya's roof. Oh dear, another chance for Jiang Chengli to be a hero and save the damsel in distress!]
Just as Xu Wanying was about to fall asleep with her eyes closed, the system's voice came through again.
This time, however, it didn't dare to bark loudly, but kept its voice down, so she didn't bother with it and just listened half-asleep.
"No way, Jiang Chengli, at least move an inch! The men in black split into two groups; one group is tearing off roof tiles, while the other has punctured the windows and is blowing smoke into the house. With all this commotion, are you blind?!"
[Just now, Jiang Chengxiao came over alone, so cautiously, and you rushed over like a dog seeing a bone. Now there are eight of them, you can see them with just a glance, but you're completely unmoved, fast asleep?]
The system was clearly very irritable, its tone gradually becoming more urgent, and it started swearing, clearly looking like it was disappointed in its users.
"Damn, you're not only blind but also deaf. Those guys lying in ambush on the roof kicked the tiles off, the pieces are rolling all over the ground, and you didn't even react! I'll fuck your grandpa %￥#@……"
The system started swearing, and the language got progressively vulgarer, until it was automatically blocked.
Xu Wanying was feeling drowsy and wanted to sleep, but after hearing its broken voice, she suddenly laughed, which instantly woke her up.
Her happiness was truly built on the system's suffering.
Inside a courtyard house on Wutong Street, Jiang Chengli and Xing Xiaoya's rooms faced each other. His room had its windows wide open, and the man sat at the table. With just a slight glance, he could see the entire scene in the courtyard, including everything happening outside Xing Xiaoya's room.
He noticed the unusual activity outside from the beginning, but simply didn't want to pay attention to it.
Eight of these people arrived at once. They seemed to be acting cautiously, but in reality, they were careless and just wanted to get his attention. They even deliberately made such a big commotion after seeing that he didn't react at all. It was clearly premeditated.
Furthermore, even if they behaved normally, he wouldn't stop them from doing anything to Xing Xiaoya; in fact, he would be happy if they killed Xing Xiaoya with a knife.
With a "whoosh," a hidden weapon flew swiftly through the window, which Jiang Chengli dodged by tilting his head.
The eight men pretended to have just discovered him and surrounded him, clearly intending to control him if he didn't take the bait.
Jiang Chengli's face showed not a trace of extra emotion. He was already used to it. In any case, even if they didn't take action, the world would "set things right" and force him to take action.
Soon, they were locked in combat.
While the fighting raged fiercely over there, someone climbed into the house through the back window.
Jiang Chengxiao was very fast; in the blink of an eye, the window was closed.
He walked quickly to the bedside and saw Xing Xiaoya lying peacefully on the bed. Her fair face came into view, and she looked serene in her sleep.
He pursed his lips. Although her small face was fair and pretty, he had seen many beautiful women before. Surely he wouldn't only be attracted to her?
But his gaze remained fixed on her, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Even as he stared intently at her for a long time, Xing Xiaoya actually became more and more beautiful. Although there were no lights in the room, only a few slivers of moonlight coming through the cracks in the window, the bed was still completely dark.
But he saw Xing Xiaoya's face, which was smooth and delicate, as if it were shrouded in a layer of soft light.
Even though she had her eyes closed, his mind was already filled with images of her charming smile. Once his active thoughts were unleashed, they were completely out of control.
Jiang Chengxiao immediately closed his eyes, not daring to look at it again.
Unfortunately, it was clearly too late. His body, which had been still for many days, immediately reacted, just as the monstrous system had said.
With a loud "bang," the door was kicked open.
Jiang Chengxiao turned around abruptly. Standing outside the door was Jiang Chengli, whose eyes were bloodshot. The two brothers looked at each other again.
"Third brother, who exactly is the woman you're keeping—" Jiang Chengxiao asked, his voice trembling with excitement.
However, before he could utter the word "monster," Jiang Chengli had already pounced on him, holding a long sword in his hand. The cold light of the sword swept across, heading straight for Jiang Chengxiao's face.
