Anyway, now that the antagonist had been swiftly captured, there was one less thing to worry about.
More importantly, it was crucial to prevent the biggest red flag in the hero's path, The Myriad Flower Path! Or in laymen's terms... The HAREM route.
Fa Xue Yu was basically the Queen of Harem, the ultimate lover of the heroes and their troupe. In short, everyone that was roped into becoming their mission companion will inevitably be bonded to them in a web of love and lust. Of course, this was also due to her extremely sinister ability to manipulate others using their weakness and emotions.
Although it was mostly a tacit understanding between the members that they had to share the affection among themselves, it also became a hindrance when completing tasks. For instance, feelings of jealousy while distributing rewards and the absence of a bottom line when embracing their multiple partners.
YUCK. That was all Mo Ke had to say about their 'team activities' for leisurely pleasure. She would never, ever, in her sane state, participate in any such ritual and she would make sure it would never happen to her or anybody else in this timeline. She is not a saint, but she is definitely a normal person with considerably normal three views of the world!
Therefore, she would never accept the Myriad Flower Path in her life!
However, she did not explicitly comment on her thoughts about this matter to the Guardian. Of course, the existence of such a path was also deliberately arranged by the Guardian in order to let the Hero better adopt and unite 'his team' when doing his mission. Therefore, each and every target of her mission will more or less have the attribute of a 'harem' member - high attractive index value, extremely coquettish, lustful or just deeply attracted to the hero.
Although her mission was to get as many mission targets as possible to stand on their side and survive till the very end, she believed that there are more than one way to achieve their goals.
For example... Blackmail.
Or, a curse threat?
Or... simply beating them up till they acknowledge the other party as their Boss!

While pondering over her next course of actions, Mo Ke happily caress the treasured ring on her finger. Inside was a considerable amount of wealth, some powerful charms and artifacts as well as a hidden space that was only accessible to herself.
These were all discussed and exchanged with the Guardian through negotiations. Firstly, Mo Ke's missions will be regularly updated when the mission targets appear. This will be in the form of a general introduction, instruction or reminder through the Ring Artifact. It contains a strand of the divine sense and consciousness of the Guardian.
Next, by completing the missions given, Mo Ke will then receive 'Fate points' that she can use to exchange for items or assistance. Just like a 'system administrator' with a store function. Other than that, she can also trade for things that she might need using other resources of similar values. This is because Mo Ke isn't exactly a native of this realm and she was given a huge 'newbie' privilege by the Guardian as she was not completely restrained by the laws of this realm.
Other than that, in her personal hidden space, she has a 'spring well of health' with unlimited water supply to keep her life out of danger. There were also a few plots of empty land and a warehouse she could utilize for producing and accumulating resources. Time will be accelerated for the lands outside the warehouse whereas the time will stand still in the warehouse.
As someone who was used to a modern lifestyle with considerably comfortable living conditions, Mo Ke also asked for a house or at least a room she can rest in comfortably with basic modern appliances. However, she had to pay a price for that. In any case, her request was fulfilled and although the rate of time passing inside the room will be the same as the world outside, Mo Ke was satisfied.

Mo Ke was extremely glad she had the foresight to discuss the living conditions in this realm and asked for appropriate compensation from the Guardian because she was horrified at the bare necessities she could find around her.
Before leaving, Xu Yao had actually boiled 2 potatoes and left it on the small desk next to her bedside, but that was all she had. Of course, there was also the boiled water which was still in the pot and covered up with a makeshift lid but that would do nothing to nourish her extremely skinny and underweight body now. Moreover, she still had to bear the pressure of suppressing her monstrous spirit power in this small body.
