On the other side
Qin Shang staggered back into the house, limping and groaning, "I wasn't even hurt, so why does it hurt so much!"
The system's voice drifted over. "The whips they use can injure the soul, but do not harm the body."
"With your cultivation level, the pain you experience is much less than that of an ordinary servant suffering this punishment."
Qin Shang gritted her teeth and complained irritably, "You didn't even give me a pain-free mode!"
The system replied, "My energy was almost completely depleted in order to conceal your presence. I can only use it once more; I need to save it for the mission objective."
Qin Shang, hands on her hips, snapped, "So, from now on I have to shoulder everything myself?!"
Then, her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "And you can only attack once? What if you fail? I can't beat him by myself."
The system's voice came through coldly. "If you fail, you will all die."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shang was struck dumb, her mouth agape.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, her hands instinctively clenching the hem of her clothes, and she said again, "Putting aside the absurd notion that failure means death, are we just not going to do the mission?"
The system explained, "Headquarters will naturally send someone else; next time, they'll send a more advanced system."
Qin Shang pointed her finger straight into the void and loudly questioned, "Wait, you're not the lowest level, are you?!"
The system paused for a moment, then replied, "... Yes."
Qin Shang's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "So I'm just cannon fodder, here to test the waters for you?"
The system didn't want to dwell on this issue, so it skipped the topic and emphasized, "Therefore, please make sure you succeed on your first try."
"I..."
Before Qin Shang could finish speaking, his body suddenly trembled.
In an instant, a strong hand gripped her neck.
She struggled desperately, gripping that hand tightly with both, and managing only broken "hoarse" sounds from her throat.
Without warning, a rift was torn open in the void.
Feng Chi's hand gripped Qin Shang's neck like an iron clamp. He first took a step forward, then his whole body closed in.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he said, "Forget about killing the boss, let's play together first."
Qin Shang's system was indeed very weak. The Romance System recounted their entire conversation to Feng Chi without missing a single detail, and it was completely unaware that it had been invaded.
He finally understood why something felt off; it turned out this woman had come to kill her boss.
Qin Shang struggled and twisted with all her might, but could only manage to squeeze out a single word through gritted teeth. "You..."
Feng Chi raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Where did you get the guts to try and kill the boss? You can go see the King of Hell first!"
Then, a ruthless smile appeared on his face, and he spoke again, "And what about those so-called other systems?"
Come at me! I'll kill every single one of you!
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Chi twisted his hand violently, and with a crisp "crack," Qin Shang's neck was instantly snapped.
Her eyes were wide open, she died with her eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
At the same time, Qin Shang's system also vanished instantly like a bubble, and the remaining energy spilled out and was quickly absorbed by the Romance System.
Divine Son Hall
"Ding-dong!"
[Qin Shang, the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate, has died due to the death of her host]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points Reset to Zero]
[Host's Kill Points increased by 107092 points]
As the notification sound rang, Feng Chi strode back.
He looked radiant and shouted, "Boss, it's done!"
The moment he finished speaking and stood still, a system notification flashed in front of him.
[Increases target's favorability by 1 point]
[Current favorability: 3 points]
Feng Chi was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened like copper bells, "!!"
Immediately, he lunged at Nan Xunran's legs, hugged her tightly, and cried out passionately, "Boss, I love you!!"
Finally, he got the third point of favorability!!
Nan Xunran's leg moved almost imperceptibly, and he frowned slightly. "Let go."
Feng Chi reluctantly got up, subconsciously sniffing the air, thinking to himself, "Why does it smell so good?"
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he moved closer to Nan Xunran as if possessed, and the fragrance became even clearer.
It really does smell like the boss.
Is this the legendary natural body odor? I've never smelled it from a distance before.
Seeing him sniffing around like a puppy, Nan Xunran couldn't stand it any longer and raised her hand to give him a hard knock on the head.
Feng Chi winced in pain, quickly clutching his head and taking a few steps back, repeatedly crying out, "I was wrong, I was wrong!"
Immediately afterward, his expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "By the way, boss, I just heard Qin Shang say that someone will try to assassinate you in the future."
Nan Xunran's voice was clear and cold as she asked, "Is that so?"
Feng Chi nodded repeatedly.
He straightened his back and confidently assured them, "Leave it to me, boss! I absolutely won't let a single one of them appear before you!"
