Chapter 216: Chapter 216 - 94: Punishment

But, how did the Prince become so useless?

With his skills, he could have easily escaped from a small scene like the one the night before.

"Well, no matter who saved this prince, the guard in the manor needs to be strengthened. How can the Prince Qi Manor be like a vegetable market, allowing people to come and go as they please?"

"In the future, this prince does not want to see such things happening."

"Yes."

Duke Ning Mansion.

Afternoon.

Yun Wanqing woke up from her sleep. After a moment of confusion, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look out the window.

All she saw was the setting sun like blood, and the sky was gradually darkening.

She couldn’t help but start to wonder.

[Huh, did I sleep too deeply?]

[Why are Su Qianxue and the system so quiet today?]

[It’s getting late. There’s less than half a day until the three-day deadline ends. Why hasn’t Su Qianxue taken action yet?]

[Could it be that she’s not planning to do the task anymore?]

[No, no, no, how could Su Qianxue not do the task? I must have slept too deeply and didn’t hear their conversation, missing the main event.]

[Ah, so now, has Su Qianxue finished the task or not?]

[Did that damn system upgrade? Did it unlock any powerful functions?]

[I wish I had held back from sleeping at noon. Just one nap and I’ve completely lost track of Su Qianxue’s task progress. What a loss...]

The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. While Yun Wanqing was feeling annoyed, she suddenly overheard Su Qianxue’s conversation with the system, which made her excited immediately.

[Hey, I didn’t miss the main event, did I?]

[Waking up just in time to see Su Qianxue getting ready to do the task, what a coincidence.]

[Let’s see how Su Qianxue will complete the task and whether the system will gain enough energy to upgrade.]

With this thought, Yun Wanqing closed her eyes and concentrated on eavesdropping.

[Host, I’ve sent you the layout map of the Prince Qi Manor. Follow the arrows and you’ll find a dog hole.]

[This dog hole is in the back garden of the manor. Once you’re inside, I’ll give you tips. Just listen to me, and you’ll definitely avoid all the guards and successfully find the male protagonist.]

"Okay."

Outside the Prince Qi Manor.

A slender figure was sneaking around behind a big tree. After confirming the direction, she followed the arrow in her mind.

Soon, Su Qianxue found the dog hole hidden by dead grass. She squatted down and looked at the dog hole disdainfully, continuously doing mental preparation.

"System, this dog hole looks so dirty. It’s full of dead grass and mud. Could there be snakes?"

[...]

[Host, are you out of your mind? It’s the middle of winter, where would there be snakes?]

Su Qianxue was embarrassed. Alright, she was just nervous for a moment and forgot that snakes hibernate.

"Oh, then could there be rats?"

The system collapsed!!!

[Do you even want to do the task anymore?]

Hearing the system’s gritted teeth voice, Yun Wanqing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

[Hahaha, Su Qianxue and the system are killing me with laughter.]

[Having a host like Su Qianxue, the system must be pretty frustrated, hahaha.]

[Then again, making a girl like Su Qianxue craw through such a dark and filthy dog hole, she’s quite something.]

[Who would have thought that the system’s way to get Su Qianxue close to Mo Yuanhao was through a dog hole, hahaha.]

[Interesting, really interesting.]

Hearing her hearty laughter, Yun Wanyao couldn’t help but smile as well, but then a gleam flashed quickly through her eyes.

Su Qianxue wants to complete the task, but it’s not going to be that easy for her.

"Go!"

She was completely unaware of what was happening over there.

Su Qianxue gritted her teeth, put on a brave face as if readying herself for death, pushed aside the dead grass, and prepared to crawl in when suddenly there was a rapid warning in her mind.

[Beep beep, a dangerous person detected approaching, host please be alert!]

[Host be careful, there’s a dangerous individual getting close to you...]

The sudden warning sound made Su Qianxue pause for a moment.

She instinctively turned around and saw a black shadow descending from the sky. Then, a sharp pain came from her neck, and her consciousness went black as she fell softly to the ground.

She was knocked out.

[Damn, it’s the Yun Family again. Why do the Yun Family people always ruin our plans?]

[Could it be that they really know about my existence?]

[They even know our tasks?]

[What kind of world is this? Why can someone detect the system?]

[This host is too useless. She doesn’t know any martial arts, anyone can deal with her, and now the Yun Family is watching her. How are we supposed to do the task?]

[...]

After Su Qianxue passed out, the system broke down and screamed in her mind.
