What to Do If You're Too Handsome

Lady Dimitrescu was unwilling and held up eight fingers.

An Xinghe held up six.

Lady Dimitrescu held up seven.

After thinking for a moment, An Xinghe nodded in humiliation.

Lover of Seven Times a Night it was, then.

Lady Dimitrescu, meanwhile, kept snickering inwardly:

Do you really think I'll let you go after seven times? Once you get a taste of it, maybe you'll even beg me instead.

Livestream.

[A dirty deal has been struck.]

[I want to be this dirty too! Who wants to make a deal with me?!]

[Others clear stages by charging in headfirst. An Xinghe clears them by lying down.]

[I've learned the new generation's method of clearing horror games. Where do I claim this heaven-defying face?]

[Miranda, come out and control your daughter! Your daughter is trying to steal a man!]

Suddenly! A massive Mold tentacle burst through the wall on the side of the room, smashing a huge hole in it!

A panicked look appeared on Lady Dimitrescu's face:

"Mother Miranda..."

[ Ding! Hidden Quest triggered! ]

[ Current objective changed to: Kill Mother Miranda ]

[ Reward changed to: 3000 Experience Points, 3000 Game Currency, one random Fine-quality piece of equipment, title: "Mold Killer" ]

The rewards in horror games had always been tied to difficulty. For the game to suddenly offer players such generous rewards, the instance's difficulty had clearly risen to an inhuman level!

After all, most players would have, at most, a single worn-grade piece of equipment by their second instance. Miranda was practically the equivalent of a War God!

However, the system had not anticipated that An Xinghe already possessed four Fine-grade items. He even had a Perfect Grade Death Flower Dagger that had gone unused because of Lady Dimitrescu's surrender.

It was simply Miranda's bad luck to run into a monster like An Xinghe.

At that moment, Miranda slowly walked in through the broken hole:

"Dimitrescu, I never expected you to be the first to betray me. I thought it would be that idiot Heisenberg."

"And what I find most intolerable is that you betrayed me over a man!"

"I don't understand! What sort of man could make you, who had always been so loyal, betray me? Is he as beautiful as a celestial maiden?!"

Miranda's gaze shifted to An Xinghe. Her eyes froze, her body stiffened, and she muttered:

"He's even more beautiful than a celestial maiden..."

Livestream.

[Miranda: Danger!]

[Is being handsome really this unreasonable?! Every boss in the entire instance has fallen for him?! This is too ridiculous!]

[Looking at Miranda's expression, I know An Xinghe has won again.]

[He's winning so hard!]

[I'm starting to look forward to whether a Shura Field will appear next.]

Miranda understood why Lady Dimitrescu had betrayed her. Even she herself, the instant she saw An Xinghe, could not help feeling the urge to claim him for herself!

This man was practically made for her XP System!

Still, Miranda did not lose her composure and act as directly as Lady Dimitrescu had. After thinking for a while, she found the best use for An Xinghe:

"You, do you want to come be my son-in-law?"

Looks Can Be Deceiving

"You, do you want to come be my son-in-law?"

An Xinghe was a little dumbfounded.

You instance bosses are so young, yet you're already so badly behaved! One moment you want me as a stepfather, the next you want me as a son-in-law. Do I not have any dignity?!

Besides, Rose was still at the breastfeeding stage!

And An Xinghe was already a full-grown adult.

An Xinghe said coldly:

"I have no interest in becoming a thief's son-in-law."

Miranda's expression changed instantly, and she roared:

"What did you say?! Who's a thief?!"

"Of course it's you, Miranda! Rose was originally Ethan's child. You snatched her away and insisted on calling her your child! If that doesn't make you a thief, then what does?!"

An Xinghe was not stupid at all. He was quite clever.

If he listened to Miranda and became her son-in-law, that would mean becoming Ethan's enemy.

Whoever became Ethan's enemy ever had a good ending?

He was only an outsider, while Ethan was the protagonist of Resident Evil 8.

Besides, if he was going to acknowledge a mother-in-law anyway, why not acknowledge Mia as his mother-in-law?

Not only could he marry Rose, but he could also get a War God father-in-law and Chris for free. No matter how he thought about it, that was far more profitable than submitting to Miranda.

An Xinghe knocked himself on the head, reminding himself that Rose was still a baby!

Mm! It won't be too late once she grows up a little!

Livestream.

[Is An Xinghe planning to have a mother-in-law in every village?]

[What do you mean planning? That's already a fact!]

[Miranda, you beast! Rose is only one year old!]

[Resident Evil 8 might as well be renamed An Xinghe and His Big Family.]

[Who has a knife? I'm going to chop this life-winning bastard to death!]

After An Xinghe rejected her without hesitation, Miranda's expression changed at once:

"Since you're unwilling, I'll have no choice but to capture you first and turn you into an obedient puppet as well!"

At Miranda's command, countless masses of Mold burst out from the ground!

They writhed and clawed like Avici Hell itself!

If it had been an ordinary person, they might have fainted from fright by now.

But Ethan in the original story was not ordinary, and neither was An Xinghe.

A flash of cold light shot toward Miranda and struck her heart precisely before she could react.

In an instant, Miranda felt as though her body had been electrocuted. The surrounding Mold stopped moving as well.

She lowered her head and stared blankly at her chest, where a black dagger was embedded.

"Why... would a dagger..."

"Let me explain, Ms. Miranda."

An Xinghe calmly passed through the mass of Mold and walked up to Miranda. Pointing at the dagger, he said:

"This dagger is the Death Flower Dagger, made specifically to deal with monsters like you. It's loaded with poison."

Miranda struggled to grab An Xinghe, but An Xinghe was hardly merciful. With a swish, he pulled the Death Flower Dagger from Miranda's heart and viciously plunged it into her throat!

He pulled it out and stabbed it into Miranda's forehead!

He pulled it out again and stabbed it into Miranda's abdomen!

He pulled it out again...

Danmaku.

[Looks can be deceiving with An Xinghe! He's so handsome, yet he's so ruthless!]

[This is a horror game! If you aren't ruthless, you're the one who dies!]

[My mother once told me that prettier girls are better at lying, but she never told me that better-looking boys are more ruthless!]

[He's a true savage!]

[Even I feel Miranda's pain just watching this!]

[Miranda has had eight lifetimes of bad luck running into An Xinghe.]

An Xinghe had no intention of holding back. He also knew he could not hold back against the Miranda before him.

Again and again, he drove the Death Flower Dagger into Miranda's body.

"Aah!!! Enough!!"

Miranda's right hand clenched tightly around the Death Flower Dagger. Her body had already turned pale and was even beginning to collapse, yet she still stubbornly said:

"Do you really think you can kill me with just a dagger?!"

"I'm not a fragile human! I possess the power of the Mold Lord!"

As though she had reminded him of something, An Xinghe sneered:

"You're right. Since the Death Flower Dagger isn't enough to kill you completely, how about you try this?"

An Xinghe pressed his index finger against Miranda's forehead as white energy continuously gathered upon it.

At last, Miranda panicked!

From that ever-gathering energy, she sensed a power capable of destroying her!
