Chapter 330: Chapter 136: This Midnight Scoop Came Out of Nowhere

The crowd was inevitably curious about Yun Chuchu’s storyline, but Yun Wanqing’s inner voice only mentioned this sentence before wandering off to think about some random, unrelated things.

[Oh dear, today when I released my spiritual power, I saw a lot of interesting things.]

[The dog in the backyard is quite capable; even when tied up, it caught a huge rat.]

[In the alley in front, a group of kids was bullying a little guy, punching and kicking him for the entire afternoon.]

[After I saw it, I used my spiritual power to teach those bratty kids a lesson.]

[The bullied little guy has a fierce yet exceptionally noble fate, such a peculiar fate; he’s going to turn out quite something when he grows up.]

[Moreover, there’s a poor scholar living in the southern alley; he seems rather serious but has been writing erotic novels the whole afternoon.]

[The protagonist of his erotic novel is also a poor scholar, but he has many women flocking to him, with his harem extending endlessly.]

[The women throwing themselves at him include an official’s daughter, the girl next door, a chivalrous woman from the martial world, a cold-blooded female constable, a pure medical girl, a beautiful courtesan, a rich family’s daughter, a gentle master and so on, simply gathering all sorts of women.]

[If this character were placed in modern times, he’d be considered a certified playboy and woman collector.]

[And these women bicker and compete every day over who gets to sleep with the protagonist at night.]

[Also, also, there’s another alley three miles to the east called Qingshi Lane, where an old bachelor lives at number nineteen.]

[I saw him sneakily slipping into a female neighbor’s house to steal her underwear, oh right, I also saw him peeping while she showered last night…]

[Truly despicable and shameless~]

The crowd: “…”

In the middle of the night, this gossip came quite suddenly.

Forced to digest so much gossip all of a sudden, the crowd couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

What is all this?

What on earth does this little child spend their whole day observing?

Everyone let out a sigh, suppressing their curiosity about Yun Chuchu’s storyline, and continued with their casual chat.

Oh well, if she doesn’t say anything, they’ll just have to wait for Yun Chuchu to return.

Based on what they know about the little child, once she sees Yun Chuchu, she won’t be able to resist reciting the storyline in her mind.

For now, they’ll just have to endure.

After the meal, the household doctor came as usual to check on Yun Wanyao’s health.

After several days of recuperation, she no longer needed to lie in bed all day, which was good news, making Yun Wanyao extremely happy.

And Yun Wanqing, after having milk, lay in bed digesting it.

Out of sheer boredom, she closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into her mind as she leisurely flipped through Su Qianxue’s chat logs with the system.

[I almost forgot, after Su Qianxue failed her mission, a new one will definitely be issued.]

[Let me see what her new task is.]

[Could it be related to Mo Yuanhao again?]

Soon, long dialogues floated through her mind.

System: [System Prompt, host has failed the task, punishment will be administered to the host, please be prepared.]

There was no record of Su Qianxue being punished in the dialogue box, but the number of failed tasks had indeed updated.

System: [Hint: Current failure count is 3, once it reaches 10 failures, the penalty will be doubled, we hope the host will strive to complete the task.]

[Task has been refreshed.]

[Task Objective: Lu Huaixin.]

[Task Content: Please guide Lu Huaixin, make him develop fond feelings for the host, and successfully drive a wedge between him and the Princess, task duration is 15 days.]

“Great, the task objective has finally changed.”

“Finally a task unrelated to Mo Yuanhao, damn, that was really hard, it was worth getting struck by lightning this time.”

Even through the dialogue box, her excitement was evident, despite being struck by lightning.

“Lu Huaixin isn’t the main character, he doesn’t even rank high among the supporting actors, so getting through to him must be easier than the main character.”

“This time, I must complete the task.”

“System, where’s the item package?”

“The task has already been refreshed, shouldn’t you give me a new item package?”

[Beep, a big item package has been sent, please check.]

[Beep, congratulations to the host for obtaining Fragrance*1, Beauty Enhancement Pill*1, Powerful Invincible Talisman*1.]

Su Qianxue didn’t send any dialogue content related to the items, so Yun Wanqing could only guess their uses from the names.

[They say that items produced by the system are always of premium quality, so this Fragrance must not be an ordinary product.]

[Upon thinking it over, besides smelling nice, this Fragrance must have some additional features, like inducing infatuation or addiction.]

[The Beauty Enhancement Pill should be an elixir that makes the taker more charming and alluring.]

[As for the Powerful Invincible Talisman, it might enable Su Qianxue to become incredibly strong, invincible even.]

[It’s just unclear whether these things are temporary or permanent because if they are permanent, then my father and the others might stand no chance against Su Qianxue.]

[Unless my brother’s system also gives him some items.]

“????”

Lady Yun, just back from her bath, heard these last inner thoughts, and a wave of doubt crossed her mind.

Did she miss some important news while she was gone?

What could it be?

Yesterday, she heard the little child’s inner voice saying that Su Qianxue’s task failed, so could the earlier inner thoughts be about the new task?

Oh, if only she’d waited for her husband to return before taking a bath.

If she really missed such significant news, what should she do now?

Lady Yun, deep in thought, sat at the dressing table, drying her hair with a towel.

On the bed, Yun Wanqing sniffed the faint floral scent, and her mind immediately returned to focus.

[It’s mother’s scent, so pleasant.]

[I’m so bored, I should continue cultivating my spiritual power.]

[Perhaps once my spiritual power breaks through to Level Three or higher, I’ll be able to catch the system.]

As her thoughts fell silent, Yun Wanqing closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.

*

At the Pei Family.

After Pei Yu woke up, he was informed that the Grand Commandant Mansion had sent someone to arrange for him to marry Su Qianxue, a decision already approved by his parents.

He was so furious that smoke almost came out of his head, feeling overwhelmingly agitated, and contemplated how to cancel the engagement.

No, absolutely not!

He liked Yao; even if he couldn’t marry Yao, it was impossible for him to marry Su Qianxue either.

Who was Su Qianxue anyway?

A brainless bimbo, arrogant and domineering, with nothing to offer besides her face and figure.

Looking across Haojing, except for Princess Hua Yang, no noblewoman had a worse reputation than her.

As for him, following Duke Ning in numerous battles and earning endless credits, with such a promising future, how could he marry such a woman as his wife?

Just as Pei Yu was racking his brains for a solution, Su Qianxue was not idling either.

She dressed in a maid’s outfit, boldly sneaking out of the mansion, and after having the system pinpoint Lu Huaixin’s location, she planned to have a coincidental encounter with him…
