Feng Chi instantly went berserk, yelling, "Ahhh!"
The Romance System jumped in surprise and said with displeasure, "Why are you making such a fuss?"
Feng Chi cried out in despair, "I just promised the boss I wouldn't let any mission takers near, and now one's showing up! My goodwill is ruined!!"
The Romance System remained silent for a moment before speaking, "... Host, don't agree to things so easily in the future. This system isn't that powerful."
Feng Chi raised his voice, "Didn't you discover Qin Shang and that system?"
"I even suppressed it; it didn't even block my senses."
The Romance System replied, "I didn't do that."
Feng Chi looked on incredulously and said through gritted teeth, "... I'll never believe you again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's cold notification sounded abruptly:
[Target's favorability decreases by 1 point]
[Current favorability: 2 points]
Feng Chi slowly turned around, his gaze meeting Nan Xunran's. Nan Xunran's lips were slightly upturned, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Feng Chi wore a bitter expression, his head drooping, and he moved dejectedly toward the outside of the hall.
Seeing this, Pei Zimo asked in confusion, "Hey? Where are you going?"
Without turning his head, Feng Chi replied weakly, "Just want to take a bath."
Pei Zimo looked surprised and asked in astonishment, "We were just talking, and suddenly you went to take a bath?"
Feng Chi chuckled, "Heh..."
Then he stopped, staring blankly at the sky, and murmured, "I'll let the heavenly lightning cleanse me."
Pei Zimo was stunned upon hearing this, swallowing the words that were about to come out. After a few seconds, he said, "... Good luck?"
Feng Chi's lips twitched involuntarily a few times, and he said with a forced smile, "Thank you."
At this moment, Nan Xunran lightly tapped his fingertip, and everyone immediately turned to look at him.
His voice was clear and gentle. "These two stay. The rest of you, leave."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zimo and the others immediately replied, "Okay."
Without uttering a single question, they turned and left decisively, disappearing into the inner hall in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, only Nan Xunran and the two people lying on the ground remained in the inner hall.
Nan Xunran's gaze first settled on Qi Yan. He narrowed his eyes slightly. Reincarnator like Ning Shi...
Then, he slowly turned his gaze to Zhang Chen. Since his usability was so low, there was no need for him to exist.
Nan Xunran slowly raised her palm and then slowly closed it.
An invisible force surged forth instantly, like a dense, impenetrable net, tightly enveloping Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen's body trembled violently and began to twist and swell in pain.
The sharp pain felt like countless blades piercing him at once; the intense pain seemed to tear his soul apart, forcibly pulling him awake from his coma.
He stared in horror at his gradually deforming body, and with difficulty raised his eyes, he met Nan Xunran's indifferent face.
"... South..."
Zhang Chen's voice trembled, filled with boundless fear; every cell in his body was shaking violently.
[Danger--Danger--!]
The piercing alarm screamed wildly deep within Zhang Chen's consciousness.
[The host's life is rapidly slipping away]
[Expected death in three seconds]
[3]
[2]
[1]
[...]
As the countdown ended, Zhang Chen's body swelled to its limit, like a balloon inflated to its maximum.
The next second, with a loud "boom", Zhang Chen's body exploded instantly, and blood and flesh scattered like fireworks.
Minced flesh and blood mist mingled and spread through the air.
Nan Xunran raised his hand lightly, his sleeve fluttering gently.
All of this seemed to be wiped away in an instant by an invisible giant hand, as if it had never existed, and the surroundings returned to their original state.
"Ding-dong!"
[Zhang Chen, the Child of Destiny, is dead]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points Reset to Zero]
[Host's Kill Points increased by 101276 points]
Just then, Qi Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze still somewhat confused, which was quickly replaced by a complex emotion.
"Ah... it's started all over again."
Qi Yan lay on his back on the ground, and suddenly touched the back of his neck with one hand, then gasped in pain.
"Ouch? Why does it hurt so much?"
He muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings, then he froze, "Huh??"
Immediately afterwards, his gaze unconsciously moved upwards.
The moment he saw Nan Xunran, his eyes widened instantly, and his mouth gaped open, "Huh???"
Qi Yan's mind went blank; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
A moment later, he jolted awake and sat bolt upright.
He stared intently at Nan Xunran, and after confirming several times, he was certain that the person in front of him was indeed Nan Xunran.
Qi Yan immediately stood up and quickly slid down to kneel in front of Nan Xunran.
His voice trembled slightly, "I've finally seen you!!"
Nan Xunran: "?"
Qi Yan was completely absorbed in his own emotions.
He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with excitement. "This damned cycle is finally coming to an end!"
