Change the Rules, Teach Xiao Yan a Lesson!

[Does the host not like Gu Xun'er? She is a top-tier beauty, a real catch. As long as the host speaks up, I will arrange it for you immediately!]

"Heh! Are you trying to fool a ghost? I'll just ask you this: with your lousy simulation, is it even possible for me to complete it?"

Xiao Chen curled his lip. Who doesn't like a beautiful woman? If a man doesn't, he isn't a man.

But then again, the system's simulation was simply impossible to complete. What was the point of him trying?

Facing Xiao Chen's skepticism, the system fell silent. Just as Xiao Chen thought the system had finally given up, that mechanical voice rang out in his mind once more.

[Ding! Detected that the simulation difficulty is too high. Modifying simulation rules... Requesting permissions... Request successful... Simulation rules have been modified!]

[The first simulation will not be scored, and a Golden-tier reward is guaranteed!]

The moment the rules changed, Xiao Chen understood their meaning. As long as he altered the life trajectory of the simulated character, he would receive a Golden-tier trait as a reward—commonly known as a "pity timer"!

What else was there to say? Just do it. Without a second thought, Xiao Chen called out to the system in his mind: "System, initiate simulation. Simulation character: Gu Xun'er!"

[Simulation starting. Simulation character: Gu Xun'er]

[Year 1]: You are born into the Ancient Clan on the Dou Qi Continent. As the daughter of the Ancient Clan patriarch, your bloodline purity is detected to be extremely high the moment you are born. Your father is ecstatic and, at all costs, seals the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, within your body.

[Year 2]: The energy contained within the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is too violent. Your fragile meridians cannot withstand it, so you must rely on medicinal baths and pills to strengthen your body and slowly adapt!

[Year 3]: You spend every day practicing how to control the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame. The rest of your time is spent in medicinal baths and cultivation. This monotonous life continues... until...

[Year 4]: Your father takes you away from the Ancient Clan and arrives at the Xiao Family. You hear your father say that this is the Xiao Clan, one of the eight ancient clans. You are puzzled; how could the descendants of the eight ancient clans fall to such a state? Facing your confusion, your father offers no explanation, only giving you a task... After arriving at the Xiao Family, you meet an interesting young man. He takes you to watch the sunset. It is the first time in your life you have watched a sunset, and you don't know how to describe your current mood...

"An interesting young man—does that mean me?"

Xiao Chen stared at the scrolling text on the system screen, stunned. He hadn't expected to appear in the simulator himself.

[Year 4, Month 7]: Your relationship with Xiao Chen grows increasingly intimate. When watching the sunset, you always like to lean on his shoulder and daydream. One day, after watching the sunset, Xiao Chen walks you back to your room. You toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep. Your mind is filled with Xiao Chen's shadow, and you roll around in bed clutching your quilt...

[Ding! Detected that the simulated character has entered a critical moment in life. Immersive simulation activated!]

In the next second, Xiao Chen felt his vision go black. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a soft, comfortable bed.

Judging by the decorations and the scent of incense permeating the room, this was clearly not his own room.

"Wait, what? System, you never said anything about an immersive simulation!!"

Xiao Chen got up and walked to the mirror. Looking at the delicate, slightly chubby face reflected in the glass, he complained helplessly.

Just then, a clicking sound suddenly came from the door. Hearing this, Xiao Chen knew exactly what was happening.

The system had just prompted that Gu Xun'er's life trajectory had reached a critical moment, so it must be Xiao Yan.

Regarding Xiao Yan's behavior, Xiao Chen could only say it was a bit too sleazy. A man approaching thirty across two lifetimes, sneaking into a little girl's room in the middle of the night to grope her—if that wasn't sleazy, what was?

You have to realize, Xun'er is only four years old now. If this were back on Blue Star, that would be at least three years in prison, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's expression darkened. He muttered, "Like picking locks, do you? Like groping little girls, do you?" He turned and walked to the desk, picked up a book, weighed it in his hand to feel its heft, and then crept toward the door, intending to give Xiao Yan a surprise the moment he opened it.

"Clack!"

The bolt fell, and the door was pushed open from the outside. Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "If Xiao Yan had this skill, even if he couldn't cultivate and was kicked out of the family, he'd still be able to make a living!"

The moment the door opened, Xiao Yan, who had been full of excitement, suddenly felt his hands and feet go cold, as if his blood had frozen solid. "Uh... if I said this was a misunderstanding, would Miss Xun'er believe me?"

Xiao Yan looked at the expressionless Xiao Chen standing at the door, feeling completely at a loss.

However, Xiao Chen didn't give him a chance to explain. The moment Xiao Yan opened his mouth, the book in Xiao Chen's hand flew out with a whistling wind.

"Bang!!"

The force was just right—stunning him without causing brain damage. The book landed squarely on Xiao Yan's face. Xiao Yan immediately saw stars, felt lightheaded, and nearly tumbled to the ground.

Seeming to realize that this "Miss Xun'er" was in a fit of rage, Xiao Yan stopped trying to explain and turned to run.

"Ling Ying, if you let him get away, I'll have my father skin you alive!"

The cold voice was laced with fury. Xiao Yan felt the hair on his body stand on end; an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped his heart.

In the next second, Ling Ying appeared in front of Xiao Yan and gripped his throat. "Brat, you dare to sneak into the young lady's room? You have some nerve!"

"Senior! Senior! It's a misunderstanding! I just wanted to test if my Dou Qi existed!"

Sensing the terrifying Dou Qi fluctuations from Ling Ying, Xiao Yan panicked completely and hurriedly confessed the purpose of his visit.

"Heh! Testing Dou Qi? And how exactly did you plan to test it? Tell me!"

Xiao Chen didn't care what Xiao Yan was thinking. Although this was only in the simulator and hadn't truly happened yet, it wasn't something that could be brushed off with a lighthearted "misunderstanding."

The mere thought of being groped by Xiao Yan made his skin crawl. Thinking that this was a simulation of Xun'er made him even angrier. If he didn't make Xiao Yan suffer a bit today, his transmigration would have been in vain.

"I..."

It was obvious Xiao Yan knew what he was doing. He stammered for a long time without being able to come up with a reason, and finally, he hung his head as if resigning himself to his fate.

He had concluded that this "Miss Xun'er" couldn't possibly kill him.

After all, this was the Xiao Family, and Gu Xun'er was ultimately just a guest. Even if he had committed a wrong, it should be handled by his father, the patriarch.

As for how Xiao Zhan would punish him? It would be nothing more than a bit of physical pain. He had indeed acted dishonorably, so suffering a bit was deserved.

Thinking about it now, he didn't know what had gotten into him over the past few days. It was as if he had been possessed, leading him to have such absurd thoughts.

ps: No blackening or whitewashing; Xiao Yan's actions here were indeed dishonorable, so I'm giving him a light lesson!
