Xu Nian stared at the newly loaded text, falling into silence.
Ever since she got this system, she felt that her brain was often not enough.
‘Limbs are such inconvenient things.’
She felt that her brain wasn’t exactly convenient either.
Should she take it off and wash it too?
Gah!
See! She knew it!
She might have imagined what Su Qingya would do, but she never expected her to go this far.
Break her wings?
Wasn’t this just wanting to turn her into a non-mobile cup?
What kind of fetish did one have to have to think of something like this!
Xu Nian felt a chill burst forth from the bottom of her heart, spreading to every part of her body, making her hands and feet ice-cold.
She lost her grip on the phone, and the brick worth two kidneys slammed onto the wooden floor with a thud.
Fortunately, the phone was sturdy enough and didn’t break.
Snapping back to reality at Su Qingya’s call, Xu Nian hurriedly picked up the phone from the ground and tremblingly brought it to her ear.
– “Hello? Niannian, what’s wrong?”
– “N-nothing.”
– “Are you crying?”
Even Xu Nian herself didn’t notice that her words carried a hint of crying.
– “I accidentally kicked the table leg.”
– “How could you be so careless? Are you hurt? Your body has always been so delicate, you probably have a bruise.”
– “N-no, I don’t.”
– “Then are you coming over or not? I’ll take a look at your leg while I’m at it.”
Su Qingya’s increasingly gentle and careful words sounded in the phone, burrowing into Xu Nian’s brain, stinging her painfully.
How should she face Su Qingya?
She didn’t know.
The little loli she usually teased was so cute and obedient, silently enduring whatever she said.
Although strong and stubborn, she always showed her a satisfied look.
Why would she do such a cruel thing to her now?
The cold text only glossed over it, but Xu Nian had already sketched out the entire scene in her mind.
The content displayed in this simulator must be fake, right?
But, could it really be fake?
This was the system, after all.
She couldn’t tell.
She really couldn’t tell.
Perhaps because Xu Nian hadn’t answered for a long time, Su Qingya’s originally gentle voice became anxious again.
– “Xu Nian, speak up!”
– “I was wrong, I was really wrong. I won’t break up. Please don’t hurt me, okay?”
– “You… why would you say such a thing? How could I possibly hurt you? Did someone say something strange in your ear?”
– “Then what do you want me to do when you call me over?”
– “Treat you to a meal I made myself, and take a look at your leg while I’m at it.”
– “……”
Xu Nian didn’t say anything else and hung up the call.
She only felt her head blank, dove into the blanket, stuck her butt in the air, her tail drooping, and just covered her head with the blanket, hoping to escape this frustrating reality.
After being slightly down for a while, she rubbed her head, messing up her smooth long hair into a tangled mess, and then crawled out of the blanket again.
Xu Nian understood.
Escaping doesn’t solve the problem.
She had to take action.
“Xu Nian, ah, Xu Nian, you can’t compromise like this! This isn’t like you!”
She hadn’t lost yet!
She possessed a Golden Finger!
She still had a chance to survive!
This little difficulty couldn’t defeat her, Xu Nian!
The simulator remained on the screen for selecting a reward.
After cheering herself up, she stared at the interface for a long time, but she wasn’t thinking about which reward to choose.
Taking the phone again, she sent this message.
[I’m coming over now. I have a surprise for you later. Don’t get your hopes up too much, trash fish~]
[?]
Ignoring the question mark sent by Su Qingya, she switched to the first simulation interface and chose the undetectable cloth bag, after all, the other two rewards were too outrageous.
The “weird thing” that would be planted, or an already born, bizarre offspring?
Sorry, Xu Nian didn’t want to choose either.
[Reward being distributed…]
Soon, a floating bag suddenly appeared in front of Xu Nian. She reached out her hand, and the cloth bag intimately approached her.
Hey, not bad, it’s quite spiritual.
Xu Nian thought it was just a bag that could turn invisible, but she didn’t expect it to have a hovering function too?
That was much more convenient.
As for the second reward…
She wouldn’t choose it so quickly, after all, it seemed that none of these three things were of much use right now.
So Xu Nian pretended to be carrying the bag and went out.
To cover it up, she also took a pen.
“Could you come over here? Can you see what I’m holding?”
Xu Nian randomly pointed to a maid and tentatively asked.
“Miss, you only have a pen in your hand.”
“Eh~ you can’t see it?”
But this also proved that it was indeed an undetectable cloth bag.
Her eyes turned to the outside of the window, the towering buildings didn’t block the sunlight that showered down.
The scene before her was so similar to her former world, yet so different.
After all, this was a fictional otherworld where humans and demons coexisted.
However, because this was a world where humans and demons coexisted, this also led to the fact that even if Xu Nian was a fox demon, she could swagger down the road without arousing others’ criticism.
Her mother was also a fox demon, and her father was a human.
The combination of fox demons and humans in this world didn’t seem to produce half-demons.
Instead, there was a fifty-fifty chance of having either a human or a fox demon, and what race appeared completely depended on fate.
These fox demon mammals inexplicably became oviparous.
All for the sake of drawing out the classic background setting—alas, the egg was swapped at birth, which led to Xu Nian becoming the fake heiress.
The fake heiress was a shrewish, scheming bad fox, and the real heiress was a strong and resilient human.
What an outrageous setting!
Did biology not exist?
And eggs could be swapped?
No markings?
Are you kidding me?
Could you not be so careless?
Forget it, Xu Nian had been complaining about this for many years.
“Xu Nian, are you planning to go out and play again? Your older sister is coming back today. You must stay at home. None of us can be absent. We owe your sister too much. Remember to be nice and curb your personality.”
“I, I understand, Mom.”
Seeing that Xu Nian’s attitude was sincere, the charming beauty with fox ears also showed a kind smile.
But Xu Nian secretly thought that things were not looking good.
When she looked at her in the simulator, she thought her mother just happened to find her, who knew that she was deliberately squatting here, just like a high-level version of an invisible wall in the game, encountering it would trigger a plot, and it was bound to be encountered.
Why did she say that?
Because Xu Nian had tried it five times, and her mother was in the front of her path every time, now she was just biting the bullet to try it.
Then why wasn’t she stopped during the second simulation?
Until Xu Nian saw the other party receive a call the next second.
“What? Not coming back today? Saying that you want to wait for a very important person? So you plan to postpone it for a few days.”
Xu Nian could see that her mother’s face was much gloomier.
Her good upbringing prevented her from revealing too much dissatisfaction.
She just seemed to lose the mood to continue admiring the flowers and returned to the house with the servants.
It must be because of that message of mine.
Sure enough.
Sure enough, that’s what my message was for!
I’m really sorry, Mother, to have made you look forward to it for nothing.
However, a biological daughter would choose to see other people and decide to postpone her return, so everyone would definitely be a little sad.
Which is to say, the door is now open.
No one can stop Xu Nian from going out.
Then……
Hehehe~
The escape plan begins!
