System L's voice carried the calm confidence of certain victory, as though nothing was worth its concern.
Anyone else would have felt pressured by those words. Xie Mi simply listened calmly, then picked her ear.
"Showing off, are you?"
[System L: ?]
In all its years as a system, it had guided many generations of Spring Bamboo hosts and dealt with countless transmigrators.
This was the first time it had met someone so unflappable.
In fact, "unflappable" didn't even begin to cover it.
Xie Mi curled her lips into a smile, opened her little mouth, and let a stream of profanity fly.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Some system spawned you, but nobody bothered to raise you."
[System L: ?]
Even systems got bullied these days?
Before it could speak, Xie Mi sauntered up to Xiao Jingxi with both hands in her pockets, her smile widening.
"Inciting murder, huh? Criminal. Absolutely criminal."
"You do whatever you want because you don't have a physical body, thinking nobody can deal with you, right?"
By now, System L had recovered from its brief shock.
[System L: What, do you think you can do anything to me?]
"I really can't touch you."
System L gave a derisive snort.
"But I can touch your host."
[System L: ?]
Xiao Jingxi: "?"
Xiao Jingxi, who had been listening the whole time, lost his composure too. He hurried several steps backward. "What are you going to do?"
"Nothing much. I just had a pretty bold idea."
Xie Mi advanced step by step, wearing a dangerous, wicked smile. "If you kill Shen Yeqing in this timeline and then return to the future, you can commit the perfect crime, right?"
"Then what if I kill you in this timeline?"
