"Little Brother, what's going on? Why can't I move?"

Her chest felt as though a mountain was pressing down on it, and her head was still dizzy and muddled.

Su Qiao desperately tried to open her eyes, but could only force them into a narrow slit.

Everything before her was hazy. She could only vaguely make out two blurry figures, one tall and one short.

Host, that's because after you possessed this body, the memories of the two Soul Fragments merged, greatly strengthening your soul. It no longer matches the strength of this body, which is why you're experiencing physical weakness.

"How can I strengthen my body?" Su Qiao felt awful and had no desire to waste words.

Host, since this is your first mission world, I can help you adjust your body this time. Next time, you'll need to use Points to exchange for Strengthening Agents in the System Store yourself.

Su Qiao's entire body was as limp as mud. Just struggling for a moment had made her break out in a layer of cold sweat, leaving her in a foul mood.

"Then why haven't you started?"

What use is there in having such an unself-motivated Little Brother?

Ugh, so stupid and cowardly. What fool sent him here?

She had gone from an orphaned beggar whose parents had both died, to killing Old Poison Ghost, overthrowing the Cult Master, and clawing her way from a Medicine Person to the position of Cult Master. How had she ended up with such an idiot?

It was just a pity. She had finally become Cult Master, but before she could uncover the truth behind her entire village being massacred and her whole family being wiped out, she had died from Qi Deviation.

She had thought she would leave the world with regrets, but unexpectedly, after dying, she appeared in a silver-white room.

This strange Little White Cat called System 444 could speak human language. It said that her soul was incomplete and that she needed to travel through various worlds to collect the Soul Fragments scattered throughout them.

Only then could it send her back to her original world.

When she asked where it came from, who had sent it, and what its purpose was, this little thing knew nothing about everything.

Whenever she pressed it too hard, it would chatter away in a bunch of incomprehensible words, giving her a headache.

It was truly enough already.

But things had already come to this, and there was nothing she could do. She could only take things one step at a time.

The little System, which had already been newly promoted to "Cult Master's Little Brother," hurriedly tucked in its tail and got to work.

After a moment, it cautiously asked, "Host, how are you feeling now?"

Su Qiao closed her eyes and sensed her body for a while. The heavy feeling in her chest was gone.

She clenched her fist. It was filled with strength, but...

"Why am I still dizzy?"

Host, that's of course because you're drunk.

Why is the host so stupid?

444 was deeply worried.

With the host this foolish, what will she do about the missions ahead?

Remembering the mission, 444 looked at the two people staring at the host beside the bed and leaped up with a shriek.

Host, host, get up quickly! These two people beside your bed have bad intentions toward you.

"Shut up!" How could she not know?

The reason she had kept her eyes closed and pretended to be unconscious was precisely because she wanted to strike first.

However, she had always preferred to keep everything under control, so she decided to quickly sort through the unfamiliar memories in her mind first.

"Miss, what should we do now?"

Lu Yong rubbed his hands obsequiously, his eyes gazing obsessively at the flushed-faced woman on the bed.

Guo Min wore a pink gauze dress and carried the latest silver handbag. Her exquisitely made-up face was full of disdain.

"Do I still have to teach you what to do?"

"This...?"

Lu Yong had mostly guessed what was going on, but when he thought of Su Qiao's identity, he hesitated.

No matter what, Su Qiao was Second Young Master Qin's fiancée. If he found out about this...

When Guo Min saw his cowardly appearance, she was instantly furious enough to slap him, but she held herself back when she thought of tonight's plan.

"Useless. You're one of my Guo Family's people. With me here, what are you afraid of?"
