Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips and spat, "Why should I talk to you? You're such a despicable person who goes back on his word. Giving you good stuff is less trouble than just wasting it."
"Trash, thank goodness I had a backup plan. If I had actually believed your nonsense, wouldn't I be your puppet by now?"
"One should always be wary of others," a wise saying that Min Qiu kept firmly in mind. As for the first part, Min Qiu always did the opposite. No matter who it was or what it was about, anyone who came to her hall, whether for a reason or not, was someone with ill intentions, someone who wanted to kill her.
"Host, please don't slander the system. The system's purpose is to help future strong individuals achieve success. The system chose you, host, because you have the potential to become strong, not to manipulate you. Moreover, the system's programming does not allow it to control others. If the system's actions exceed the limits of its programming, it will self-destruct after deleting all data." Ji Xiaoxiao was furious in Min Qiu's consciousness space, wishing she could devour him whole.
"Hmph, who knows if what you're saying is true or not."
For those of my kind, their hearts are bound to be different, especially in this degenerate age where people's hearts have lost their way. Apart from herself, Min Qiu trusts no one and no one is worthy of her entrusting her with anything.
Through the original owner's memories, Ji Xiaoxiao learns about Min Qiu. Because of the betrayal of her relatives and friends in her previous life, Min Qiu has a natural aversion to and illusions about people. In Min Qiu's eyes, even truly kind and benevolent people are snarling, vicious demons and monsters.
The original owner had said she didn't want to be bound to it, and that was fine too; it wouldn't force her. People with the potential to become powerful are rare, but not unheard of; they're not exactly uncommon. The original owner wasn't going to be so fixated on that little tree of hers.
Min Qiu was convinced that the original owner harbored malicious intentions. She feigned agreement to bind herself to the original owner, but in reality, she was a wolf in sheep's clothing, waiting for an opportunity to launch a counterattack and seize control of the original owner. The original owner was slightly outmatched, and what she lost was her life.
However, as things stand now, Min Qiu's thinking is not wrong at all, since Ji Xiaoxiao wants to get rid of her as soon as possible!
Min Qiu muttered a few curses at Ji Xiaoxiao, then shut his mouth, walked to the window, and pulled back the curtains. The dazzling sunlight shone into the room, instantly brightening it.
"They've arrived as expected."
Downstairs, chaos reigned. Limbs and torsos were scattered everywhere, pools of fresh or stale blood were everywhere, cars had collided, thick black smoke billowed into the air, and strangely behaving zombies wandered aimlessly. All of this indicated that the apocalypse had finally arrived.
Min Qiu glanced at them indifferently, ignoring the vibrant lives that were dying downstairs, then turned back to the living room and began practicing her supernatural abilities without stopping.
In a chaotic world, only strength can protect you.
Seven days later, Min Qiu's five-star superpower level successively entered level three.
Ji Xiaoxiao squinted, feeling extremely annoyed.
In her past life, the original owner devoted herself wholeheartedly to teaching Min Qiu, showering her with countless elixirs and miraculous medicines. Within seven days, Min Qiu's Five Elements Ability level jumped from Level One to Level Five, which Ji Xiaoxiao considered perfectly natural. But now, Ji Xiaoxiao remained silent. Min Qiu's achievement showed that the original owner's choice of Min Qiu as her host was not without reason. Min Qiu's talent far surpassed that of the average person; among geniuses, she was a top-tier elite student.
"You're lucky."
Ji Xiaoxiao cursed under her breath a few times, then resumed cultivating the Dao Heaven technique.
After seven days, Ji Xiaoxiao, in her data form, finally managed to condense a wisp of spiritual energy. Although the future was uncertain, hope remained, which was enough to keep her moving forward.
To complete her mission, Ji Xiaoxiao needed to break the slave contract. However, according to the original owner's database, breaking the slave contract required the slave owner's permission. Seeing Min Qiu's actions over the past seven days, ransacking nearby supermarkets, hotels, and restaurants, Ji Xiaoxiao felt that Min Qiu's act of mercy and releasing her was an unattainable dream.
With no hope from external forces, Ji Xiaoxiao could only rely on her own efforts.
In any world, might makes right. Ji Xiaoxiao guessed that if her strength exceeded the limitations of the program and the constraints of the slave contract, she would gain her freedom. Even with only a sliver of hope, Ji Xiaoxiao put in all her effort.
Ji Xiaoxiao had only been cultivating for an hour when she finally felt a second trace of spiritual energy within her body.
Wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead, Ji Xiaoxiao sat idly in her consciousness space, reaching out to touch the various white orbs of light floating in the air, trying to hold them tightly in her hand, but she could never grasp them.
"Does this mean my treasures can only be given to others?" The shimmering orbs of light floating in the air are all rare and priceless treasures, including elixirs with unique effects, flying and teleportation devices, and martial arts skills that everyone is eager to acquire.
The thought that sooner or later these treasures would all belong to Min Qiu filled Ji Xiaoxiao with a hatred that was beyond words.
Out of sight, out of mind, Ji Xiaoxiao turned her head to look outside.
Min Qiu stored the usable items in her home into her spatial bracelet, opened the door, and went outside.
"Please don't rush, everyone. Please line up and board the bus in an orderly manner. The country will not abandon any of its people," a soldier in military uniform shouted through a megaphone.
"Oh, it's him. No wonder Min Qiu was going out."
Ji Xiaoxiao stroked her chin, recalling the original owner's memories, and couldn't help but think of Liao Kongmin.
Her emptiness, her loneliness, Kongmin, I want you.
