What caught my eye was a green curtain, and the room was filled with a faint smell of medicine, a hint of charcoal fire, and a...rich smell of incense.
Song Huan took a sip, her throat itching and she coughed violently. Then the delayed pain instantly crept into her brain, the wound on her neck felt like it was being torn apart by something.
Your sister's broken system!
They sent her back without even giving her a hint, scaring her to the point that she thought she had gone too far and was going to be forcibly destroyed!
Song Huan didn't dare to open his mouth again and slowly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
She is actually a person who knows her fate and is content with what she has. She will fight for opportunities and benefits for herself, but will also quickly accept her destiny.
After all, the arm cannot twist the thigh, and the egg cannot break the stone.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head...
As Song Huan was thinking, a box popped up on the system, indicating that her soul was merging with this body for the second time, but the degree of fusion had only reached 90%.
This is the system's exchange mechanism, using ten percent of the fusion degree in exchange for a modification to the depth of the wound on Song Huan's neck, so that Song Huan will not die from excessive blood loss.
System: "Welcome back. Your wounds will heal in fifteen days."
Song Huan: "What should I do to achieve 100% integration?"
Her current level of integration is very dangerous, and she can easily attract evil-minded villains and Taoist priests who are seeking justice.
System: "Fusion can be exchanged in two ways: 'Health' and 'Favorability'. For details, please reply with the keyword."
Song Huan: "Health value."
System: "One year of life can be exchanged for one percent of fusion."
The total amount of life points that can be earned in the book world is one hundred years. In other words, as long as there are no unexpected circumstances, if Song Huan completes the task seriously, he can still live another hundred years from now.
But Song Huan is not so greedy. For her, living to sixty or seventy years old is enough.
So if she has a hundred years of life value on hand, it would be fine to exchange it for ten years.
However, ideals are beautiful, but the reality is... she doesn't have it.
Thinking of this, Song Huan hurriedly called up his health value to check. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was one month left. At least the broken system had some conscience.
If it only takes half an hour like last time, she will really quit!
Song Huan checked another redemption method, "Favorability."
System: "Favorability refers only to the favorability of the target "Pei Yan" towards you. For every 1% increase in "Pei Yan's" favorability towards you, the system will give you 1% of fusion."
Gift?
Doesn't that mean that as long as Pei Yan's favorability towards her reaches 10%, her soul will be able to completely merge with the host?
After being cheated once, Song Huan didn't believe that this broken system would be so kind.
"Are you sure this is a gift, not an exchange? You're not going to add any additional conditions after I gain enough favorability, are you?"
System: "Prices are clearly marked, no deception."
“…” Song Huan believed it for the time being.
Besides, the purpose of conquering Pei Yan was to win his favor, so even if the system didn't give it to her in the end, she wouldn't lose out.
Song Huan closed the dialog box with the system and opened the strategy task interface.
Expired tasks: "Having your veil lifted by the capture target Pei Yan", "Drinking a wedding wine with the capture target Pei Yan"...
The two tasks give you a total of six days of life...
Song Huan had a heart attack and opened the dialog box with the system. "I'm going to pull off a new veil for Pei Yan to choose, and pour two glasses of wine to toast with him. Do these two tasks still count?"
"..." The broken system seemed to be dead again.
This is more painful than having the duck meat right in front of your mouth snatched away by someone else.
Song Huan was heartbroken, covering his chest as he opened the daily tasks.
The first daily sign-in increases your health by a quarter of an hour.
Song Huan signed in immediately. It was effortless, practically a piece of cake. Her mood improved a bit, and she continued to look at the next task.
Get the target Pei Yan to reply with ten sentences, and your health will be increased by ten days after completing the task for the first time.
Hug the capture target Pei Yan. Complete the mission for the first time and increase your health by one month...
Kiss the capture target Pei Yan. Complete the mission for the first time and your health will increase by three months...
Consummating marriage with Pei Yan, the target of the strategy, increases health by one year for the first completion of the mission...
Song Huan: “……?”
Just come up and kiss, hug and lift up?
Song Huan felt a chill down her spine. This broken system was definitely trying to trick her.
After all, she has read the whole text. Although the original character died as soon as he appeared in the book, Pei Yan was the villain throughout the whole story. How could she not understand him?
Some people may look like human beings in front of others, but they are simply perverts behind the scenes!
Pei Yan lost his father at the age of nine, inheriting the throne that same year and joining the army. He fought on the battlefields for a decade, constantly on the edge of a knife, his hands stained with countless blood. Ten years of relentless killing had stained him with bloodlust, a surly and volatile temperament, and a capricious and ruthless nature... It was quite possible for him to be chatting and laughing with you one moment and then taking your life the next.
He also dislikes interacting with people, let alone women. There's a cannon fodder female supporting character in the book who, without knowing her place, falls for Pei Yan's beauty.
But she was attracted to him, and it wasn't a big deal. But she insisted on declaring that she would marry Pei Yan in this life, and she was not afraid of death and bribed the servants in the Pei Mansion to get into his bed... Later, she died.
His eyes were gouged out, his feet were chopped off, but he didn't even touch the corner of Pei Yan's clothes before he died.
The servant who helped her was also torn into pieces by five horses.
A chill spread from her spine to her entire body. Song Huan shuddered, terrified. She didn't dare to kiss, hug, or lift someone up.
"Madam, are you awake?" The maid carried the medicine over the screen and saw Song Huan blinking and frowning.
Song Huan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman named Pinting approaching, her brows lowered, her face calm and composed. Seeing Song Huan awake, she remained calm and composed. Holding the medicine bowl, she bowed and said, "Your servant, Jinyue, is sent by the Marquis to serve you and take care of your daily needs. Madam, would you like to take the medicine first, or should someone send for the Marquis?"
She spoke softly, without a trace of contempt in her words.
They are completely different from the people the host brought from the Song Mansion.
Song Huan waved at Jin Yue. His throat was sore from talking, and seeing Pei Yan wouldn't allow him to complete the mission. For the sake of his life, staying away from Pei Yan was the best option.
But just as Song Huan finished waving his hands, someone suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in, fluttering through the screen and shouting at Jin Yue, "Sister, sister, this is bad. The people from the Song Mansion can't find the Marquis, so they've come straight to the backyard. What should we do?"
Jin Yue's eyebrows furrowed as she gently rebuked, "Jin Le, don't be so hasty and rude. Now that you've entered the house, you should greet the Madam first."
"Ah? Madam, you woke up so soon?" Jinle poked her head towards the bed and saw Song Huan, who was smiling at her with narrowed eyes. Jinle's face flushed instantly, and she took a step back. Her voice suddenly became much weaker, like a mosquito's hum: "Jinle... greets Madam."
Jinle is a child, a little taller than Jinyue's waist. He looks about eight or nine years old, with a round, fair and tender face, very cute.
Song Huan had no resistance to cute children, her eyes sparkling. If it weren't for the wound on her neck, she might have grabbed the little girl and kissed her twice. But at this moment, she could only smile at the little girl.
Jinle glanced at Song Huan secretly. Seeing Song Huan smiling, he seemed to be a little bolder. "Madam, do you... do you want to see the Song family's wife and the second daughter?"
Song Huan: ...Sorry, she doesn’t know.
The last time I came through, the time was too tight, and I only performed an online death. I didn’t have time to do anything, and I didn’t even have time to receive the host’s memories.
This time? It's even worse. The fusion degree is less than 100%, and she can't receive the host's memories at all!
Unaware of the enemy's situation, Song Huan decisively closed his eyes and chose to play dead.
Jinle was stunned for a moment, "Madam? What's wrong with you?"
Jin Yue was smart and understood what Song Huan meant when she saw this. She signaled Jin Le not to ask any more questions.
At this time, Madam Song and Miss Song Er also stepped into Song Huan's room. They were followed by several servants from the Marquis' Mansion, but when they saw the two finally step into the door, they stopped and waited outside the room in a polite manner.
Jinyue and Jinle went outside the screen to greet Madam Song and Miss Song Er, but as soon as they met, before they could even exchange greetings, they were jointly pushed out of the house by Madam Song and Miss Song Er. Madam Song was even more quick to lock the door.
Jin Yue never expected that Madam Song and the second daughter would dare to act like this. By the time she reacted, they were already outside the door.
"Jinle, hurry up and go to Mingsong Hall to invite the Marquis."
"Ah? Lord Marquis?" Jinle felt uneasy. She didn't really want to see the Lord Marquis. "Brother Pei Xi has already gone to invite him."
"Okay Jinle, go and invite them again and tell the Marquis what happened here with the Madam." Jinyue's face turned pale. When Pei Xi went to invite them, she didn't know that the Song family was such people, and the Marquis might not come.
She was quicker, so it was her turn to go and invite them. However, the Marquis disliked women getting close to him, and if she went, she wouldn't even be able to get past Pei Chen. Only Jinle, still a child, was usually not chased away by the Marquis.
Jinle listened to her sister the most. After hesitating for a while, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, sister. I will go to Mingsong Hall to invite the prince."
After saying that, Jinle took a step forward and ran out in a hurry.
After Jin Yue and Jin Le turned around, Song Huan secretly opened his eyes, only to see Madam Song and the second Miss Song pushing Jin Yue and Jin Le out of the house as ferociously as a tiger at lightning speed. He could not help but stare blankly, and then quickly closed his eyes.
In this situation, there is only one possibility that can make Song Huan believe that they are good people - the two of them know Pei Yan's abnormal personality, and that she is a hidden peerless master who has the ability to take her away from the Marquis' Mansion in broad daylight.
But thinking about how the Song family was later wiped out by Pei Yan, Song Huan felt that this possibility was... unlikely.
