What Is Shen Qin Doing Up Late at Night?!

It wasn't surprising that Bai Zhou asked so extravagantly.

In the original novel, he didn't recall anything about a "Royalist Faction" or "Green Faction."

Now, he was hearing these terms from his father and uncle?

However, when Bai Zhenbei and Bai Zhennan heard Bai Zhou's question.

They both shook their heads in unison and said:

"Your strength is still too weak right now. There are some things you're not yet privy to."

"Once your strength grows and you have the means to contend with certain individuals, you'll naturally find out."

Bai Zhenbei and Bai Zhennan's evasion made Bai Zhou's heart skip a beat.

My strength isn't enough yet?

What about me, backed by the Bai Family, and you two?

Is it the same for us?

"Hiss—"

Bai Zhou let out a slight gasp of cold air.

There must be many hidden conflicts and struggles in this world.

It was just that the original plot focused heavily on the Protagonist, Chu Yun.

So, many things weren't revealed.

But... if he dealt with Chu Yun, or if Chu Yun didn't get himself killed prematurely as in the original story.

Doesn't that mean he'd have to face these hidden threats in the future?

Slowly, Bai Zhou turned his head to look at Lin Wei beside him.

Lin Wei, naturally, knew nothing and couldn't hear what Bai Zhou was saying.

She just blinked her innocent, big eyes, looking at Bai Zhou with pure, unadulterated innocence.

But Bai Zhou had already made up his mind.

It seemed he still needed to find a way to rapidly increase his strength.

As for how to improve his strength?

That naturally meant starting with the Protagonist, Chu Yun.

Because Bai Zhou knew exactly what opportunities Chu Yun had obtained and what benefits he had reaped!

Stealing things was certainly much easier than exploring and searching for them himself!

Plus, he could gain System Points and System Rewards.

It would be twice the result with half the effort!

Far away in the hospital, Chu Yun was daydreaming about the future.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, completely unaware of what was happening.

Meanwhile.

It was getting late.

Even Spirit Masters needed to rest!

Fortunately, the Bai Family's mansion was enormous.

There were enough empty rooms.

Although Lin Wei and Bai Zhou had signed a Life-and-Death Contract, some things still had to be taken step by step!

Moreover, even though Bai Zhou's mother had arranged a room for Lin Wei.

Lin Wei decided to go to the hospital to take care of her father.

While unconscious, Bai Zhou had moved his father to a different hospital.

What if his father woke up at night and saw a completely unfamiliar environment? What if he got anxious or scared?

As a daughter, Lin Wei naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of caring for her father.

Bai Zhou didn't refuse.

He arranged for two bodyguards to escort Lin Wei to the hospital.

As for Shen Qin...

Bai Zhou couldn't think of any use for Shen Qin at the moment, so he paid her no mind.

But just because Bai Zhou ignored Shen Qin didn't mean Shen Qin could stand the loneliness!

Late at night, Shen Qin was led by a Bai Family servant into a room meant for the staff.

Fortunately, due to her special circumstances, she was assigned a single room.

As soon as Shen Qin entered the room and closed the door, the expression on her face suddenly became both venomous and furious.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +444, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 2350 more to activate!]

As if driven mad, she ripped off the collar around her neck and then threw it away with disgust.

Her actions seemed to say:

I'm a joke at school, and my Divine Weapon Maiden is S-Class.

And now I'm willingly acting like a dog just to form a contract with Bai Zhou?!

This is humiliating, this is disgusting!

However, not long after she threw the collar away.

The expression on her face visibly changed.

It slowly shifted from anger to blankness, and after blankness, it turned into panic.

Finally, she lunged towards the collar she had thrown away in a state of panic.

She hastily picked up the collar and carefully brushed off the dust.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +555, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 2300 more to activate!]

Shen Qin, holding the collar with great care, sat slowly on the bed with a vacant expression, even stiffly muttering:

"This is... what Young Master Bai... bestowed upon me..."

"This is... what Young Master Bai... bestowed upon me..."

Like a broken record, she held the collar and slowly lay down on the bed.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +444, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 2250 more to activate!]

At this moment, Shen Qin seemed to be in a state of shattered worldview, reconstruction, and then shattering again.

Her entire mental state seemed to have gone haywire.

While her torment of Chu Yun today was cruel, she herself had endured no small amount of torment!

She lay on the cold bed like this, holding the collar, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She actually started to mumble:

"I wonder if Young Master Bai still remembers what I said to him today."

What did she say?

"Lin Wei isn't here tonight, so Young Master Bai is alone. He needs someone to warm his bed, right?"

???

How did you even connect that?

"But... am I worthy of climbing into Young Master Bai's bed?"

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +666, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 2200 more to activate!]

And it was precisely because of this thought.

Strange scenes began to appear before Shen Qin's eyes, one after another.

At school, Bai Zhou kicked her away!

At the hospital, Bai Zhou slapped her across the face.

Bai Zhou stepped on her head, grinding her dignity into the floor!

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +888, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 2150 more to activate!]

Yet, as these endlessly humiliating scenes flashed through Shen Qin's eyes.

Her body began to tremble slightly.

And with her body's trembling, Shen Qin's cheeks actually turned slightly red.

She even closed her eyes, tears welling up in the corners, biting her lip.

And as Bai Zhou in her mind delivered another resounding slap to Shen Qin's face.

Shen Qin actually flipped over, her two fair legs tightly clamping the still unfolded duvet.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +666, gained Destined Villain Value +50, Villain Roulette requires 2100 more to activate!]

At this moment, Bai Zhou, lying on his bedroom bed, opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his pupils filled with bewilderment.

He thought to himself:

"What is going on?"

"What is Shen Qin doing awake so late at night?!"

Bai Zhou had no idea.

At this moment, Shen Qin's room was even starting to echo with Bai Zhou's name.

Shen Qin hugged her pillow tightly, clamped the duvet, trembling all over:

"Young Master Bai..."

"Master..."

"Hit me..."

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +666, gained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2050 more to activate!]

As time passed, Shen Qin's body seemed to become even more uncontrollable.

She frantically put the collar she had just torn off back around her own neck.

Furthermore, she tightly pulled at the collar's clasp, pulling it tighter and tighter.

Visibly, Shen Qin's cheeks began to turn purple from suffocation.

But she showed no intention of stopping.

It was as if she were trying to commit suicide.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +999, gained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2000 more to activate!]

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qin suddenly raised her head.

And at that very moment, Shen Qin finally let go.

She greedily breathed in the fresh air.

The purple hue on her face slowly receded.

However, Shen Qin showed no expression of pain or discomfort at this time.

Instead, her cheeks became even more rosy, and her eyes gradually became...

Erm...

Indescribable, completely indescribable.

[Ding! Detected Protagonist's White Moonlight suffering mental damage +999, gained Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 1950 more to activate!]

Lying on his own bed, Bai Zhou couldn't help but curl his lips:

"This Shen Qin, something's wrong, very wrong!"
