Chapter 86: Third Watch
[What can money buy that’s truly worthwhile? The system’s shop has things no amount of silver could ever purchase.]
[Besides, all the tasks are tied to pulling the plot back on track. If you don’t complete them, the story will spiral further into chaos, and in the end, you won’t escape death.]
[The new heroine has stolen your destiny. Don’t you want to take it back? You’ve already seen the male lead today—he’s handsome, wealthy, powerful, with an enviable figure. Don’t you want to have him? You and he are fated by the heavens.]
[And let’s not forget—the Yun family broke off your engagement. Don’t you want them to regret it?]
[If you become Prince Qi’s consort, the world will lay the blame for the broken betrothal at the Yun family’s feet. The shame and ridicule will fall on them, not you.]
Hearing all this, Yun Wan Ning could no longer contain herself.
[This cursed system—honestly, it’s such a persuasive sweet-talker it should be running a pyramid scheme instead.]
[It’s using a handsome man as bait and stoking Su Qian Xue’s resentment. With this kind of temptation, I’m afraid she won’t be able to resist.]
[And doing the task doesn’t even conflict with your merchant storyline. That business route was already part of your original plot. I’d never derail your main path.]
[In fact, the next task might be business-related. That way, you could make money and complete your task to trade for system shop items.]
[Once I level up, I’ll unlock even more features. I’m your ultimate cheat. No matter how you look at it, you’re bound to come out ahead.]
Su Qian Xue: “…Fine. Then I’ll listen to you and refresh the task. But if it’s too difficult, you have to help me.”
[Of course. You’re my host—who else would I help if not you?]
“Alright, then tell me how to refresh the task.”
[Right next to the task bar, there’s a refresh button. Just tap into the task panel and you’ll see it. But remember—you can only refresh once.]
“Oh, I see it. Let’s give it a try.”
Su Qian Xue sank her awareness into the system, opened the task panel, and sure enough, spotted the refresh button. She didn’t hesitate—she tapped it immediately.
The system interface flickered, and the mission content changed. At the same time, a robotic voice echoed through her mind.
[Di-di. Task refreshed. Host, please check the new mission.]
Task: Create an opportunity to meet the male lead within three days and initiate an intimate interaction.
Task Status: Incomplete.
Su Qian Xue arched a brow. The original two tasks had now merged into one, which was an improvement.
And the content… wasn’t as bad as she feared. Still—
“System, what exactly qualifies as an intimate interaction? Just touching? Or kissing? Or something more… involved?”
If it was the last one, that would be a real problem.
[That, I’m not sure of. You’ll have to try it yourself to find out.]
Su Qian Xue: “…”
So basically, if touching or kissing doesn’t trigger the task completion, she’ll have to go even further?
“What help can you offer me with this task?”
[I can provide real-time updates on the male lead’s every move. His actions are all within my surveillance field.]
[And if needed, I can supply various aids—like aphrodisiacs, illusions, and other enhancement features.]
Su Qian Xue smiled in satisfaction.
It seemed this system wasn’t as useless as she’d thought. Maybe she’d misunderstood it.
With a set of ever-watchful eyes planted on the male lead and so many auxiliary tools at her disposal, she really couldn’t imagine how he might slip through her grasp.
“Alright then. But for now, just give me his whereabouts. I want to win him over myself.”
[You got it, Host.]
As the voice in her mind faded, Yun Wan Ning’s brows scrunched tightly together.
[Oh no… Su Qian Xue is about to make a move on Mo Yuan Hao.]
[In the original plot, who knows how many times they’d already been tangled together by now. But ever since the new heroine showed up, the storyline has collapsed and their relationship hasn’t progressed at all.]
[But now Su Qian Xue’s new mission is to get intimate with Mo Yuan Hao, and with the system helping her, it’ll be a piece of cake.]
[The story might really start getting pulled back on track…]
[So what should I do? Should I break them apart? Or let it happen?]
[They’re fated lovers, after all. If I force them apart, wouldn’t that be going against heaven’s will?]
[Honestly, I’ve always thought Mo Yuan Hao isn’t worthy of my elder sister. So I was actually hoping they’d get together and be bound for good—that way he wouldn’t come ruin my sister’s life.]
[But then again… if this hurts my sister like it did in the original timeline, she might go down a dark path.]
[Even if she’s been reborn, I still don’t know how she really feels about Mo Yuan Hao. Does she still love him? Or not?]
[Ugh, this is such a headache. Maybe… maybe I should just erase my sister’s memories of Mo Yuan Hao. If she doesn’t remember him, she won’t fall for him.]
[Yes, yes, the more I think about it, the more I like this idea.]
Madam Yun trembled when she heard this and nearly dropped the porcelain bowl in her hands.
How could Little Fourth have such a dangerous idea as wiping Yao’er’s memories?
Well… actually, maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea.
If Prince Qi truly falls in love with Su Qian Xue, and Yao’er is left brokenhearted, maybe forgetting would be a mercy.
Wait a moment—what did Little Fourth just say?
Su Qian Xue’s refreshed mission… is to get intimate with Mo Yuan Hao?
What kind of absurd mission is that?
How could a proper lady from a noble family be reduced to some back-alley courtesan?
After feeding Yun Wan Ning and coaxing her to sleep, Madam Yun handed her off to the wet nurse. When she returned to the courtyard, Yun Zheng had just come home.
“You’re just in time. I was about to go looking for you.”
She hurried over and shut the door behind him.
Yun Zheng chuckled, eyes gleaming suggestively. “Wife, what’s got you so eager tonight?”
Madam Yun: “…”
Her face darkened. Irritated, she snapped, “What nonsense are you saying? I have something very important to tell you.”
Upon hearing that, Yun Zheng sighed in disappointment and wiped the smile off his face. “What is it, then? Your husband is all ears.”
“I heard that as soon as Ye’er and Yao’er came back, they called you and Old Seventh away for a private talk. What exactly did you discuss? Did something happen at today’s banquet?”
Yun Zheng’s brows twitched slightly. “Why do you ask? Did Little Fourth’s heart voice say something again?”
“Yes.”
Madam Yun didn’t have time to probe further into the banquet matters. She went straight to the point and told him everything Yun Wan Ning had just voiced.
After relaying it all, she frowned in confusion. “So… what is this system? What are tasks? And what exactly is a cheat?”
