How Can Someone Control Their Own Emotions...
The Romance System's voice drifted over. "This is the affection level for your romance strategy. Just take a look, host."
When Feng Chi's gaze fell upon the words "close friends aged 40-60," he felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
He clutched his head, shaking frantically, and cried out to the sky in despair, "Help! I'm dying! Doesn't he have any feelings?!"
The Romance System calmly responded, "The target is emotionally detached, therefore the difficulty level is the highest."
Feng Chi muttered to himself, "... I feel like the King of Hell is beckoning me."
As they were talking, a long, beautiful hand suddenly appeared in front of them.
Nan Xunran frowned slightly, raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly in front of Feng Chi's eyes, the movement extremely elegant.
Feng Chi suddenly snapped out of his daze, "... Ah! What's wrong?"
Nan Xunran's gaze was as calm as a deep pool, and his tone was as indifferent as if he were merely discussing the day's weather. "Target?"
Feng Chi was startled and frantically cried out in his mind, "System, system! How can he hear me?!"
He stared wide-eyed at the void and said, "To outsiders, doesn't it seem like I'm going crazy talking to you?"
The Romance System's emotionless voice announced, "Unknown reason detected. The system is temporarily offline and will be put into managed mode."
Feng Chi jumped up and yelled angrily, "System, you're so unreliable!!"

Feng Chi frantically waved his hands, shouting, "Ah! Spare me!!"
[Increase the target's affinity by 1 point]

Feng Chi suddenly looked up, his face full of suspicion, and said, sensing that something was wrong, "You... you wouldn't happen to be able to manipulate favorability, would you?"
Nan Xunran raised her eyebrows slightly, letting them arch gently.
[Increase the target's favorability by 100 points]

Feng Chi was so shocked that his mouth gaped open, and he couldn't close it for a long time. He exclaimed incredulously, "Damn it, system, where did you find this target?"
He seemed dazed, muttering, "Then the level of affection I felt just now might not have been real. How can someone control their own emotions..."
Nan Xunran forward slightly, his oppressive aura instantly closing in.
Feng Chi shuddered and involuntarily shrank back, hurriedly saying, "Handsome guy, let's talk about this."
His face wore a fawning smile as he gazed expectantly at Nan Xunran, then said, "Look, I'm Quasi-Emperor Realm expert. If I help you with one thing, you'll give me a few points of goodwill, how about it?"
Nan Xunran gazed at him silently, without uttering a word.
Seeing that he remained silent, Feng Chi held up one finger, leaned forward slightly, and said, "... A little bit will do."
[Target's affinity has decreased...]
Feng Chi was instantly terrified, waving his arms wildly and shouting in a panic, "Stop, stop! Let's talk this out! Let's talk this out!"
[Current favorability: 0 points]
Feng Chi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Then I'll be your underling and do things for you. If you're in a good mood, give me some points of goodwill, okay?"
Nan Xunran narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "The reason."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Feng Chi quickly said, "I need to complete the mission. Once the mission is complete, I can just lie down and do nothing."
Nan Xunran her head slightly, her tone still indifferent, "You don't want to go back?"
Feng Chi's eyes widened in astonishment. "You even know I'm a time traveler?!"
He instinctively hugged himself tightly, his body trembling slightly. "You've stripped me naked."
Nan Xunran frowned slightly.
Seeing Feng Chi, Feng Chi quickly spoke up, afraid that Nan Xunran lose patience. "I don't want to go back to the original world. I have no relatives or achievements there, and nothing to miss."
Then, he straightened his back and said proudly, "It's different here. Although it's a bit lonely, I'm strong! I know that Quasi-Emperor Realm are incredibly powerful outside!"
He clasped his hands together, swayed slightly, and earnestly said, "So please accept me."
He thought to himself, "Just because he knows everything and is so dangerous, it's definitely the right thing to do to stay by his side."
Besides, I still have to complete the mission; otherwise, I will be eliminated.
Nan Xunran remained calm, her slender fingers gently touching his forehead.
Feng Chi stood motionless, but in his heart he was thinking: He understood insurance measures.
As he was pondering this, he suddenly felt a warmth on his forehead, and the Slave Mark slowly merged into his Sea of Consciousness.
