That fake face, it's like a human skin mask. I just want to rip it off…

"You can't." 444 shook its head stubbornly.

Afraid she'd do something reckless again, it quickly added, "That won't eliminate the doppelganger's resentment. The more soul fragments you collect, the more resentment there will be. If you don't properly eliminate it, once it accumulates to a certain point, Host might end up becoming a madwoman who only knows how to kill."

"Alright then."

Her voice held a hint of helplessness.

Ever since the two memories merged, she'd indeed been subtly influenced by the doppelganger from time to time.

"If I can't kill him, can I cripple him?"

She felt like if she didn't do something, the stifling feeling in her chest wouldn't dissipate.

Seeing that she still hadn't given up, 444 truly wanted to cry.

"Host, can't we stop being so violent all the time? Can't you be a little gentler? Like how you dealt with Guo Min and Lu Yong before."

It was still a newborn, being around so much bloodiness wasn't good for its growth.

"Then… poison him mute?"

A dark glint flashed in Su Qiao's eyes as she tentatively asked, "Still no?"

Su Qiao actually just wanted to test how far her 'cannon fodder' identity could go against the Male Lead of this world.

"…Alright." 444 hesitated for a moment, then nodded helplessly, somewhat uncertain.

Sigh, poisoning him mute is better than poisoning him dead.

"Mm." Su Qiao's gaze flickered as she looked at Qin Yu, finally making up her mind.

She couldn't kill him, but she could definitely cause him some trouble.

That would put her mind at ease.

She had plenty of ways to torment people.

Hmm, right now, the most important thing is to quickly heal my foot injury.

Thinking of her foot, Su Qiao suddenly remembered something.

In the original plot, the doctor who performed surgery on her leg should also be in this hospital.

That scumbag must have been bribed, which was why her leg was amputated.

A chilling malice flashed in Su Qiao's eyes. "444, find out if there's a male doctor named Li Dongnan in this hospital."

No one who had harmed her would escape.

She would make them realize what it meant to live a life worse than death.

"Li Dongnan?"

Hearing the unfamiliar name, 444 was startled. "Okay, I'll go check."

Seeing Su Qiao's eyes slightly closed and her silence, Qin Yu raised his hand to check the time and softly said,

"Is Qiao Qiao tired? If you're tired, get some good rest. I'll go home and have Aunt Li make you something delicious."

"Mm." Su Qiao wished he would just leave quickly, granting him a single word.

Qin Yu tucked her blanket in, comforting her gently, "Don't think about anything, just get a good night's sleep. I'll be back soon."

As soon as Su Qiao heard he was coming back, her face stiffened and she shook her head. "No need."

With you, you bad thing, here, I wouldn't dare to sleep.

After all, she currently had no internal energy, no martial arts, and hadn't even brought any poison powder with her.

Qin Yu thought she was worried about delaying his work. The doubt in his heart vanished, and he tenderly stroked her head:

"Qiao Qiao, how can you be so wonderful? Not only are you beautiful, but you're also so understanding and always think of me."

"Do you know? Meeting you is truly the luckiest thing in my life."

Su Qiao turned her head, avoiding his hand, and sneered inwardly.

Hmph, indeed quite lucky.

Next, you'll feel even luckier.

Qin Yu stood up, ready to leave, but his gaze swept over her right ankle, and he paused again.

His eyes were gentle, filled with deep affection:

"Qiao Qiao, don't overthink things. No matter what you become, you'll always be my Qiao Qiao, always the person I love most."

"Relax and follow the doctor's treatment. Once your leg heals, we'll get married. I'll definitely give you a grand wedding then."

"Mm." Su Qiao noticed his gaze subtly lingering on her right foot and found it amusing.

Isn't this your goal?

With a broken leg, I'll never be able to escape your grasp.

But unfortunately, you're going to be disappointed.

In the stairwell, Lin Shen kept opening and closing his mouth, looking as if he was constipated, trying to speak but holding back.
