Chapter 45: The system cheated me out of the promised two years, and now I have to sacrifice one...

Ji Zhiyang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "What plan?"

Never mind...as long as I can go back.

After such a serious accident, can I go home early?

Ji Zhiyang turned around and looked at Gu Huai, who was sitting on the bed feeding himself medicine.

I don’t know? I wonder if you will miss me after I am gone…

What happened? I suddenly feel like...

The ball blinked and said, "Option 1, you die in this world, and I send you to the real other world to defeat the demon king. The time limit is still two years. Option 2, you return to your original world. There is no mission requirement. In order to make up for you, I will arrange a happy ending for you, so that you can live a happy life."

It flew to Ji Zhiyang's shoulder and patted him with its wings. "I suggest you choose option 2. What if? Going to another world, you have to start from scratch. The devil's temperament is unpredictable, and it is not certain whether the mission can be completed. In this world, you already have a foundation, and now you are injured to save him. Wait? When you wake up, isn't it natural for you to live together? The most important thing is that there are no mission requirements, you can live the way you want."

With such temptation, I don’t believe he won’t be tempted!

There are already other hosts in the other world, so you definitely can't go there.

I made such a big mistake. If I get discovered by the higher-ups, I'll be done for. You should go back and spend your whole life in this world. I'll let you start over and conquer another target. After you complete the mission, I'll send you back...

Yuanqiu glanced at Ji Zhiyang guiltily.

Ji Zhiyang smiled with a sinister tone, "This is...your plan?"

The ball looked at him expectantly, "What do you think, host? Isn't it great? Perfect!"

Ji Zhiyang gritted his teeth, wishing he could punch its head to pieces. "Great... so great that I don't know what to say!"

The ball was delighted and flapped its wings twice. Just as it was about to speak, Ji Zhiyang raised his hand, grabbed its wings, lifted it up, and slapped it hard on the head, "Listen to yourself, are you talking like a human? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid who you can fool around with? You'd better send me back to my original world now, or I'll kill you."

What a bullshit plan!

You said it would take two years, but now you want to take my whole life?!

How unlucky I am! Not only did I travel through time inexplicably, but I also encountered such an unreliable system...

Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed for pestering Gu to have a child. Why should I go back? I am too embarrassed to see anyone!

What the hell is this half year for me?

…Is it my bad luck? Huh?!

As he spoke, there was a crazy light in his eyes, like a bomb that could explode at any time.

"...Host, calm down! You can't get angry over such a small thing. You need to stay calm..."

Ji Zhiyang grabbed the ball and shook it a few times. "How can I be calm? You've almost made me stupid, and how can I be calm?!"

I didn't kill him? You're good, how can I be calm?

Can you give me a try to keep calm?

Yuanqiu felt stars in his eyes, "Ah!! Host, you are too cruel, I am your system, how can I arrange a perfect ending for you, a life together, let him love you, pamper you, let you live a happy life... Oh... Host, let go... Ah!"

Ji Zhiyang stopped shaking and said, "I don't accept your weird plan. Either you send me back to my original world right away, or we die together!" He looked like he was going to let the fish die and the net break.

"The mission is not completed, the time is not up, even if you kill me, you can't go back!" Yuanqiu thought of a solution in a hurry, "The time is not up, if you don't go to this world, you can only wander in the system space world, which is very scary. So, please believe me, the plan I give you is the best, as long as you go back, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Ji Zhiyang was stunned.

What does it mean that the task is not completed and there is no way back?

...The strategies for conquering the world are all wrong, how can I complete the mission?

Yuanqiu struck while the iron was hot: "Host, after this incident, plus my arrangement, don't worry, he will definitely love you very much, and he will definitely be more gentle than the Demon King!"

Seeing Ji Zhiyang hesitate, it continued to deceive him, "Think about it, there are no mission restrictions. This time you can have a happy and fulfilling life. Isn't it great? Do you still want to waste another two years in another world? The Demon King is not easy to conquer. After two years, you may not succeed."

"And you'll have to start all over again when you go there. It's different here. Look how nervous he is about you. When you go back and wake up, your relationship will be sublimated and sweet, making others envious..."

As Yuanqiu talked about the ceiling falling, Ji Zhiyang's expression gradually changed.

How could he not agree with such temptation?

Did I say something bad?

Yuanqiu was extremely anxious in his heart, but his mouth was even sweeter: "Think about it, you blocked the arrow for him and got seriously injured, wait? When you go back, he will love you to death, you! What do people want in this life? Isn't it just money and love! He is a prince, he doesn't need much money, let alone love, wait? When you wake up, he will be obedient to you and pamper you to the sky!"

Yuanqiu tried hard to fan the flames, but Ji Zhiyang remained silent, his eyes confused, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Why don't you agree? More? Temptation! This person is too greedy!

"Host..." The ball called him weakly.

What's going on? This guy...is not easy to fool...

Ji Zhi raised his eyebrows and moved slightly, "Are you sure that I won't have any missions after I return?"

Yuanqiu is right. Now that things have come to this, there is no way to go back. Instead of going to a strange world and starting over, it is better to go back to this familiar world.

It's good to have no tasks, no constraints, and I can live my life happily in this world.

I can also go back and see Gu Huai... Seeing how he is taking care of me, I think he is worried that something bad has happened...

Seeing him relax, Yuanqiu immediately nodded and said, "Yes! I promise you, there is absolutely no mission. From the moment you open your eyes, it is the beginning of your happy life. There will be no bumps on the road of love."

The ball was secretly delighted that its host was fooled by it after all.

...Anyway, I didn't lie, is it true? No mission... It's indeed a happy life... But...

As for the road of love... we have to follow the original plot... Besides, love is never smooth sailing...

What Yuanqiu said was right. Things have come to this. Even if I die from this world, I can't go back. Instead of floating in this white, endless space world, it is better to go back and live a happy life in my own way.

Ji Zhiyang hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind.

"Okay, in that case, I'll go back."

"Okay!" Ball cheered happily, "I'll take you back right away."

After saying so much, I finally agree that people nowadays are really getting harder and harder to deceive.

"Wait? Wait? I have another question?..."

Still asking? What? Go back!

Before Ji Zhiyang finished speaking, his body suddenly became lighter and the scene in front of him kept changing. Then a bright light pierced his eyes and he closed them. Wait? When he opened his eyes again, he saw Gu Huai sitting beside the bed. He felt a tearing pain in his body. He looked down and saw that his chest was wrapped in gauze and blood was seeping through the gauze.

Gu Huai noticed something was happening, raised his eyes and looked over, their eyes met, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

I really didn't expect that he would worry about me so much.

Will you personally? Stay by my bed and wait on me...

What would a smooth and happy life be like?

What the hell... there's still a little bit? I'm looking forward to it...

Seeing how badly I was injured, he must have been heartbroken.

Unfortunately, Gu Huai showed no signs of distress. Instead, he stared at him for a few seconds and asked a question that he would never have thought of, "How do you know where the king is? That assassin... was it you who brought him here?"

He blocked that arrow for me, I shouldn't have doubted him.

But Gu Jing had just sent someone to deliver some cakes? Here, the cakes? At the bottom of the box was a thousand taels? of silver notes, and a note that said, "Next time, everything will be the same as before."

He...I want to hear it from him personally...

Ji Zhiyang felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down his head, and a chill ran down his spine. He opened his mouth, a trace of speechlessness flashed across his eyes, he sighed helplessly, and closed his eyes.

Go to hell with my happiness and contentment. I’ve been tricked again!

Fire prevention and theft prevention, I couldn’t prevent that stupid dog!

Cheat system!

When Jiang Wang came in, he heard Gu Huai questioning Ji Zhiyang. He hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Prince, you misunderstood. I was the one who took Zhiyang to West Street. We didn't know that Prince was there. We just happened to see the guards of the palace and followed them." He said, turned around and looked at Ji Zhiyang, worriedly: "Zhiyang, how are you? Does the wound still hurt?"

Sure enough, in this world, Jiang Wang is the only one who cares about him the most.

Ji Zhiyang opened his eyes, fixed his gaze on his face, and forced a smile, "It's okay."

His face was very pale and he had no strength to speak. When he noticed Gu Huai looking at him, he snorted unhappily and turned his head away.

You wrongly accuse me without even a blink of an eye. I have made a note of this!

How could I be so unlucky...

I blocked an arrow for him, but instead of being grateful, he actually doubted me. Is this what Silly Dog meant by "living a happy life with your eyes open"?

...Fuck you!

This is a deceptive system!

Next time I see that piece of shit, I'm going to give it a good beating!

I really mean...

My life...really? It's more bitter than bitter gourd.

Ji Zhiyang thought about it gloomily, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt.

Gu Huai walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to him, "Gu Jing sent someone to deliver the cakes. There is also a thousand taels of silver and a letter in it. Do you want to see it?" His tone was tentative, and his eyes were fixed on Ji Zhiyang, as if he wanted to find clues from his face.

Just now asked? He, why didn't he answer? Is he guilty? Or...

Ji Zhiyang glanced at the teacup in his hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

Absolutely!

Are you really...

Can't you see that this is Gu Jing's attempt to sow discord?

Do I look like a glory-seeker?

It's been half a year, not half a day, not half a month, and you've been treating me like this? Don't you have any trust at all?

He calmed down, opened his eyes, and glanced at him indifferently, "You don't trust me so much? If I were Gu Jing's man, I would know that he was going to assassinate you, and I would stay away from him. Am I stupid? I blocked an arrow for you... cough cough..." He was a little excited and coughed twice, which pulled the wound on his body and made him frown.

Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and passed the teacup to his mouth, "It's not that I don't believe you...drink something? Have some water first."

Ji Zhiyang glanced at him and asked, "What is that?"
