Chapter 219 How about asking your master to come out and I treat him to Meng Po soup?
Lan Xiyue was very confused. Damn, what had she done? How could the emperor of a country want to kill her?
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed with coldness, and she sneered, "Alright! I'll take it. Since that bastard emperor has murderous intentions towards me and won't tolerate me, why not - overturn his throne and let me be the empress for once!"
“Ding Dong!”
System: "Congratulations to the host for accepting the hidden mission of Fengming Jiuxiao. Mission requirements: Kill the dog emperor within one year and become the empress. Failure penalty: 10 lightning strikes and deduction of 100 million points."
Lan Xiyue's body suddenly froze.
"Wait!" She nearly gritted her teeth. "There's a penalty for not completing it?! Cancel it now, immediately, right now!"
The system voice was still cheerful: "Sorry, host, once the mission is accepted, it cannot be cancelled~"
“…” Lan Xiyue clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking.
As expected, this awful system never does anything for people! Why had she just been so obsessed with accepting the mission? Why didn't she ask a few more questions about what would happen if she couldn't complete it...
The system seemed to sense her anger and slowly added, "Instead of cursing this system in your heart, host, why not think about how to kill the dog emperor within a year?"
Lan Xiyue said kindly, "System, let's have a discussion..."
System: "No room for negotiation! Once the mission is accepted, there is no room for negotiation."
Lan Xiyue suddenly felt like she was watching someone borrow money. When they were borrowing, they were all nice and flattering, praising the person to the skies. But when it came time to pay the money back, the borrower was all cocky and arrogant, like, "What if I don't have the money to pay you back?" The money was borrowed with my own ability, so I wouldn't pay it back.
Is there? She and the system are like this now. Before accepting the hidden mission, they talked a lot of nonsense, but after accepting the hidden mission, they immediately ignored her.
Damn system, there was no mention of punishment at the beginning, otherwise why would she accept such a crappy task on impulse.
The gray-clothed man driving the carriage saw Lan Xiyue hesitate, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. He swung the whip in his hand, leaving a white mark on the bluestone slab. "What are you dawdling for? Get in the carriage!"
An Yi and An Er saw something was wrong and came out from the shadows to Lan Xiyue's side, "Princess!"
An Yi's sword was already three inches out of its sheath, and he looked at the man in the carriage with a bad look.
Several men beside the car suddenly tensed up, hands on the hilts of their swords, and the air was suddenly tense.
Lan Xiyue was already furious with the system, and seeing this, she waved her hand coldly: "You take Chuxia back, I'm going out to do something."
"Princess, you can't do that!" An Yi's eyes swept across the carriage like lightning, "These people..."
"What?" Lan Xiyue turned around suddenly, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "My words are useless?"
An Yi's Adam's apple rolled, and he was about to say something else, but he saw Lan Xiyue had lifted her skirt and stepped onto the carriage.
"Gee!" The man in gray showed joy when he saw Lan Xiyue getting on the carriage obediently. He whipped the air and the carriage rushed into the street like an arrow.
An Yi stared at the car that disappeared around the corner, then suddenly turned around and said, "Chu Xia, you must return home immediately. If the princess and I haven't returned home by nightfall...you must go to the Regent's Mansion and look for the prince."
"oh……"
An Yi and An Er immediately chased after him.
The carriages were hurtling through the streets of the capital like arrows, causing chaos wherever they passed.
People on the street were trying to evade in panic. A few people who couldn't dodge in time knocked over the roadside stalls and rolled to the ground.
"My handkerchief! It's all dirty..." A woman grabbed a staggering man and said, "Pay me money!"
"This, this is really not my fault!" The man pointed at the carriage that had long disappeared, stamping his feet anxiously, "If that carriage hadn't been running like it was taking my life... I wouldn't have been able to knock over your stall..."
Inside the carriage, Lan Xiyue was tossed around, her stomach churning.
She clutched the window frame tightly, cursing, "Are you in such a hurry? Are you in such a hurry to report to the King of Hell?"
The man outside the carriage naturally heard Lan Xiyue's words, but he just sneered and said, "I'm not going to send you to see the King of Hell."
The system interrupted coldly, "The host is right. They do want to send you to the underworld."
Lan Xiyue's face darkened when she heard this. "System, aren't you worried about me?"
System: "Host, you still want to kill the Dog Emperor, so you're not afraid of not being able to deal with the lackeys around the Dog Emperor. This system is optimistic about the host!"
"Hehe, thank you for thinking highly of me!" Lan Xiyue gritted her teeth, and her nails scratched several white marks on the car wall.
At the same time, An Yi and An Er chased out of the city gate, feeling more and more uneasy as they chased.
Suddenly, more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the woods, pointing their flashing weapons at the two men.
"A good dog doesn't block the road, get out of the way!" An Yi drew his sword and pointed it at the man in black who was blocking his way, feeling more and more uneasy.
The leader in black sneered and waved his hand. A dozen men in black immediately attacked An Yi and An Er.
An Yi and An Er were entangled by these men in black and could not spare time to chase the carriage.
It was unknown how long the carriage had been running. Just when Lan Xiyue was about to vomit from the bumpy ride, the carriage suddenly braked and the wheels plowed two deep marks in the mud.
The man in gray jumped off the shaft of the cart, and the scabbard of his sword clanged against the frame. "We're here, Miss Lan. Come out."
Lan Xiyue lifted the car curtain and was hit by a foul smell. She looked at the scattered white bones among the broken monuments and tombs not far away. Several wild dogs were tearing something apart not far away. When they saw her get out of the car, they ran away with their bloody fangs bared.
"Tsk, your master is quite refined." She brushed her sleeves and glanced at the relatively "fresh" corpses. "Choosing a mass grave to meet guests?"
The man in gray snorted coldly, "Miss Lan, you are not yet qualified to be our master's guest." After saying that, he took the wine jug and wine glass from his companion beside him.
The gray-clothed man poured a glass of wine and handed it to Lan Xiyue, "Here! This is a reward from the master. Please drink it, Miss Lan."
Lan Xiyue took the wine glass, brought it close to her nose and sniffed it, then suddenly chuckled, "Heartbreak Powder? What's your master's hobby? Bringing people to a mass grave and asking them to drink Heartbreak Powder? How about having your master come out and I treat him to Mengpo Soup?"
The man's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "How dare you! Miss Lan, I advise you to drink it obediently, otherwise the Marquis of Wuguo Mansion and the Duke of Huguo Mansion will suffer because of you!"
