My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!

Chapter 541 - 271: Rather Die Than Do the Mission (Part 2)

Furthermore, just as Pei Yu had been beaten, a decree arrived from the palace, dispatching him to the southwest to quell the unrest.

These two events, no matter how you look at it, seem too coincidental.

And when something is too coincidental, then it is not a coincidence; it appears more like it was orchestrated.

Sigh, it seems that person truly has connections everywhere, with ears and eyes in every corner, even able to know the private conversations between her and her daughter.

The Duke Ning Mansion, though thought to be well-defended, was still infiltrated. She didn’t know if her husband was aware of this matter.

Thinking of this, Lady Yun looked deeply at Yun Wanyao.

Yun Wanyao blinked, her eyes innocent and pure, like a little kitten.

"Mother, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. Didn’t you say you were going out for a bit? Go quickly, but remember, go early and return early, and be careful."

Lady Yun shook her head, giving her a gentle reminder.

Her daughter was so innocent, what else could she say?

She just hoped that Chen’er and Ye’er could train their spiritual power with Ningning, so in the future, even if her husband relinquished power and retired, their family would still have the ability to protect her.

Otherwise, with her intelligence, if she were to enter the palace and lose the Emperor’s favor, she wouldn’t even know how she might die.

But if they didn’t agree to let her enter the palace, with unexpected factors like Su Qianxue and Mo Yuanhao around, she and her husband really couldn’t find a better husband for her than the Emperor.

Sigh, truly a dilemma, a difficult predicament, no matter the choice.

At Dingbei Pass, looking around, it was desolate as far as the eye could see, with nothing but yellow sand in the sky and a piercing cold wind.

After the teleportation finished, Su Qianxue opened her eyes to see such a scene.

Having never seen a place like this before, she opened her mouth in shock, allowing sand to enter almost instantly.

"Ptooey, ptooey..."

She quickly spat out a few times, her heart filled with irritation, feeling an impulse to ruin everything.

"System, you sent me to a place like this?"

[Uh, Host, what’s wrong with this place?]

"Sand gets in my mouth as soon as I open it, and the sandstorm is so strong I can’t open my eyes. Are you sure this is a place for humans?"

"I can’t survive here, let alone complete any missions?"

"Here’s the deal: let’s put the male lead’s task on hold. I’ve decided, I’m going to do the Emperor’s task first. Send me back to Haojing."

Compared to staying in this forsaken place, she would rather return to Beijing and find a way to get close to the Emperor.

If she wanted to enter the palace to accompany the Emperor, Su Jian and Madam Su surely had a way to send her into the palace as an Imperial Concubine. As long as she stayed by the Emperor’s side every day, she’d have a chance to act.

As for the Pei Family...

Since she left home, she still didn’t know that the Pei Family had already sent a marriage proposal through Pei Yu, and both Pei and Su families were frantically searching for her.

System: [...]

[Host, could you please not be so impulsive?]

[Firstly, the male lead is the main task of this world. As long as his storyline proceeds, everything else will fall into place.]

[Secondly, coming here wasted a Teleportation Talisman, which wasn’t easy. Going back like this seems a bit too casual, don’t you think?]

Su Qianxue snorted coldly, pulling at her hair in annoyance as she countered.

"I don’t want to, but what can I do?"

"Dingbei Pass is such a hellhole that even a dog would shake its head at. How can I survive here? Every additional second here is a double torment for my mind and body."

"If I had known Dingbei Pass was like this, I wouldn’t have agreed to come here no matter what."

"Even if you’re to blame, it’s only because you didn’t inform me in advance."

"I know the male lead’s task is important, but isn’t my life important too?"

"If I can’t survive, what’s the point of doing tasks?"

System: [...]

Truly pushing the system too far!!!

[Does the Host confirm you’d rather die than do the tasks?]

"Yes, I confirm."

Su Qianxue replied without hesitation.

[Have you thought it through?]

"Yes, I’ve thought it through."

[Alright, since the Host is determined, the system cannot force it. The system will now activate the termination function for the Host.]

The system interface flashed, displaying several prominent lines of text.

’Termination function loading.’

’Termination function activated, please make a choice, Host.’

Below this line were two buttons, one labeled Confirm, the other labeled No, with a small prompt below.

’Warm reminder, once the termination function is activated, it cannot be stopped. Please think twice before proceeding.’

[Do you see the Confirm button? The Host only needs to press it, and will be completely terminated. Host, are you ready?]
