He came to a stop before the dais. "I am only fifty-odd paces from you. If it cannot make a choice at such a distance, how can it be called divine?"
Lan Ruoyue had wanted him to come down. It would be easier to see where the fruit was if he came closer.
Besides, animals were greedy. It might follow the scent straight to it.
But this damned old fox refused to take the bait!
Lan Ruoyue panicked, screaming wildly inside her head: [System, stop fucking playing dead and get out here!]
[Useless trash, can't you see I need your help?]
[If you don't get out here right now, I'll dismantle you!]
The system had only just detached, and some residual connection remained.
Hearing Lan Ruoyue call him useless trash, he bristled with rage: [You're useless trash! Your whole family is useless trash!]
[I told you not to mess around with something so cheap, but you insisted. Now that something's gone wrong, all you know how to do is make me wipe your ass. Why should I?]
[You walking disaster. You deserve this humiliation!]
Jiang Shuyue patted his head: [Relax~ A decent ex and a decent former boss should both be as quiet as the dead. Just think of her as a monkey and enjoy the show.]
The system: [Hmph, this monkey has done plenty. She looks down on everyone and thinks she's some great female lead, when she's really just an idiot.]
[She has a thing for your husband. When she couldn't get him, she said he had no taste, called you a vixen, and claimed you'd drugged the Marquis of Zhennan.]
[A while ago, she even tried to force me to make the same drug so she could use it on the princes and the Imperial Preceptor.]
