Chapter 542 - 271: I’d Rather Die Than Do the Mission (3)
[If you’re ready, take action!]
Su Qianxue: "..."
What, is this dog system for real?
Does it truly want her life???
That’s one thing, but why does it want her to do it herself? How can she possibly bring herself to do it?
Can’t the dog system just eliminate her directly?
Why give her a warning first?
Sudden death isn’t scary because there’s no time for fear, but prepared death, that’s not so easy to accept.
Su Qianxue swallowed, unable to suppress the fear growing in her heart.
"Uh, I have a few questions I want to ask. If I die, what happens to this world? Will it collapse?"
She’s the protagonist, her life or death should be important to this world, right?
Otherwise, why would the system appear after her death, reverse time, and revive her?
[After the host’s death, the protagonist’s fate will entirely transfer to the original female lead, quickly making her the new protagonist of this world.]
"The original female lead? Yun Wanyao?"
[That’s correct.]
Su Qianxue: "..."
That’s not quite what she expected?
So, her death will be in vain, and instead, benefit the original female lead?
Su Qianxue felt confused.
She doesn’t want to die, but she also doesn’t want to live at Dingbei Pass. Isn’t there a win-win solution?
[Choose to enter countdown. At countdown’s end, the elimination feature will automatically activate.]
[Countdown begins, 10, 9, 8...]
Each cold number struck Su Qianxue’s heart like a death knell, causing her to panic.
Automatic activation?
Does this mean she’ll die even if she doesn’t choose?
The countdown is about to hit 0. Panicking, she hurried to press no, but in her haste, she forgot to use telekinesis and used her finger instead, resulting in a failed selection.
The elimination feature automatically activates.
A glaring white light flashed by, and Su Qianxue’s head felt like it was being chopped into countless pieces, the pain making her roll on the ground clutching her head.
So painful, hundreds of times more excruciating than being struck by lightning.
She regretted it...
In a daze, a thought flashed through her mind, and in the next moment, her consciousness plunged into darkness.
[Hmm???]
[That’s impossible?]
At the same time, on the broad flat official road, Yun Wanqing nestled in Yun Wanchen’s arms with closed eyes, her consciousness constantly monitoring the system and Su Qianxue’s movements.
When she saw the latest updates, her consciousness instantly shivered.
"Little sister, what’s wrong? What happened?"
The brothers Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye immediately looked at her, pulling the reins to slow down the horses and travel side by side.
[Conditions at Dingbei Pass are harsh, Su Qianxue didn’t want to stay there, wanted to return to the capital, so the system eliminated her. But I always felt this was a bit strange.]
Hearing her brothers’ questions, Yun Wanqing opened her eyes, without any deception, quickly explaining the whole situation to them.
[At the time, the system would spare no expense to reverse time and bind Su Qianxue, how could it so easily eliminate her now?]
[I always felt something was off.]
"I agree, this doesn’t seem right. Little sister, keep paying attention. I want to see what kind of tricks this system is trying to play."
Yun Wanye narrowed his eyes, feeling that this matter would not end here.
His instincts told him there must be more to come.
Coincidentally, Yun Wanqing thought the same, responding with a nod, she closed her eyes again to continue monitoring.
Sure enough, there was soon movement from the system’s side.
In the vast wilderness, cold winds howled, yellow sand filled the sky.
On the ground, a kneeling girl slowly opened her eyes, looking confused and painful at her surroundings.
Her head hurt, as if cut by a sharp blade, so painful she wanted to die, also it was blank with no memory.
Who is she?
Where is she?
The girl reached up to her head and gently massaged it to ease the pain.
In her moment of bewilderment, a strange electronic voice sounded in her mind, giving her a great scare.
[Congratulations, host, on your rebirth.]
[Hello, host, I’m your system, here to assist you in completing a task.]
"System? Partner??"
The girl was even more confused, tentatively speaking, "Can you tell me who I am? What task do I need to complete? Why should I complete the task?"
Although she spoke directly without using telekinesis, the system was able to hear without obstructing.
[Host is Su Qianxue, daughter of the Grand Commandant Mansion of Da Wu Country...]
Then, the system implanted, word by word, its pre-made script into Su Qianxue’s mind.
The general story of this script is that Yun Wanyao is a reborn toxic female antagonist, who was relentlessly malicious in her past life and died miserably, yet happens to reborn.
This rebirth, only to rewrite fate and seek revenge.
Thus, Su Qianxue and Mo Yuanhao, two objects of her vengeance, are destined to have their fate twisted under Yun Family’s deliberate interference.
[King Qi Mo Yuanhao, is the host’s destined partner, by this time should be deeply in love with the host, their affection unbreakable like gold.]
[Unfortunately, Yun Wanyao’s jealousy of the host led her to sabotage the host and Mo Yuanhao’s love many times, resulting in Mo Yuanhao’s poor impression of the host now.]
[With this visit to Dingbei Pass, the host originally intended to foster feelings with King Qi and make him fall in love with you, but was unfortunately tracked and killed by the Yun Family.]
[The host is the lady of fortune, her fate shouldn’t end, that’s why there’s an opportunity for rebirth, and I’m here to help correct your fate.]
[Complete the task and the host’s destiny can be corrected, the opposing Yun Family will return to their original fate as well.]
[...]
After reading the storyline and listening to the system, Su Qianxue wrinkled her nose, unsure whether any of this was true.
After a long while, she asked confusedly, "What about my memory? Why do I have no memory at all?"
The system already had an answer prepared for this, showing no signs of panic.
[The host’s memory automatically cleared upon dying. Although I can revive the host and preserve some of the host’s past memories, I can’t make the host retain memories on her own.]
This answer was flawless, but Su Qianxue still felt something was off.
"Why does Yun Wanyao get to keep the memory from her past life while my memory automatically cleared?"
[Because Yun Wanyao is inherently a bug, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to reborn after death.]
[Whereas the host actually died wholly, it’s relying on my energy for revival, naturally differing from Yun Wanyao.]
Su Qianxue: "..."
Without memories, how can she determine if what the system said is true or false?
Glancing around, all her suspicions fled quickly. Though unfamiliar with the world, even if the system lied, what can she do?
Is there any other path besides trusting it?
If she doesn’t trust it, where can she go from here?
"What’s my task then?"
[The host’s main task is to make Mo Yuanhao fall in love with you quickly, have relations with him, and carry your joint offspring.]
That child is the next generation’s child of fortune, a vital existence.
If this child is smoothly nurtured, it would greatly benefit correcting the storyline.
Regrettably, in the original storyline, that child should have already been in Su Qianxue’s belly by now.
Being late in nurturing him, one wonders if it will affect his fortune.
[Mo Yuanhao is currently at Dingbei Pass, approximately less than five li away from the host.]
[Reminder to the host, Yun Family is also located at Dingbei Pass, the host must act cautiously and complete the task soon.]
"Alright, understood, I’ll complete the task soon."
*
On the broad highway leading to the sky on its other side, the sound of horse hooves tapping and dust flying.
Yun Wanqing clutched a baby bottle, angrily sucking several mouthfuls of milk.
[6.]
[I knew it, this matter won’t end so simply.]
[It turns out this dog system has harbored malice from head to toe, resorting to such vile schemes to deceive Su Qianxue, vicious, truly vicious.]
"Little sister, quickly tell us, what came next?"
Upon hearing her words, Yun Wanye realized the follow-up had emerged, urgently asking.
