Ye Xiao's mind was suddenly filled with the system's cold voice. That damn Main God was such a trap; even after over a decade, he hadn't fixed the system, forcing her, a formidable antagonist boss, to only be duped by this dog of a system into being a good person. It truly seemed like the retribution for those thousands of years of evil deeds had arrived.
Originally, it was this dog of a system that made her become an antagonist, and now it was compelling her to be a good person. She had been a professional villain for thousands of years and had become accustomed to the lifestyle where, if someone displeased her, she'd massacre their entire family, cockroaches and all. Now she was being fatally duped by the dog of the system.
The feeling of wanting to kill and pillage but not being able to was just so damn unbearable.
Then there was the self-destruction at any moment. What did it matter if she blew up? She wouldn't truly die, it would simply be starting over from the beginning.
Li Yuee had wanted Jian Ru to stay overnight, but Jian Ru, disgusted by the village's environment, hadn't even eaten dinner before wanting to leave. Li Yuee didn't insist on keeping her, only asking Ye Xiao to escort Li Yuee to the door.
"I've already bought you a plane ticket for tomorrow. Someone from your family will pick you up at the airport."
Without Li Yuee around, Jian Ru's attitude toward Ye Xiao became even more malicious.
Once she had quite liked the child, after all, she was beautiful. But upon learning her real face, even if she had been her own, Jian Ru couldn't bring herself to like her, and thankfully now she knew she wasn't.
"Alright."
Ye Xiao smiled sweetly, though her gaze was ice-cold and sinister.
In that instant Jian Ru got into the car, Ye Xiao touched the blood-red BMW, a cruel and cold smirk appearing in her eyes.
"Xiao Xiao, eat more. Once you go to Yun City, you won't be able to have grandma's cooking anymore."
Li Yuee added a piece of meat to Ye Xiao's bowl, her voice full of reluctance. She truly didn't want to part with the child, but Three Bulls Village was just a backward and impoverished place. It was fine for her, who was halfway to the grave, to stay, but she couldn't hold back the child. That was why she agreed with Jian Ru's decision to have Xiao Xiao return to her birth parents.
Ye Xiao didn't speak, simply bowed her head and ate the piece of meat Li Yuee had given her.
Next, we bring you a few pieces of news, today in Water Town, a family of three were found stripped naked in a trash bin, their minds gone when found and now hospitalized for treatment.
Just this morning, outside the Water Town police station, a man covered in blood and only wearing underwear was found, identified as a fugitive murderer. The scene was horrifying—his hair seemed to have been plucked out one by one, which suggests extreme cruelty. The man covered his lower half with his hands, yet it was unharmed, as if he had suffered immense psychological trauma. According to a medical expert on the scene, it's likely the man endured inhuman torture prior to this.
"Xiao Xiao, when you go to Yun City, don't go out at night blindly. People are really scary out there. Li Ergou is a beast, but the person who plucked his hair is definitely a beast too. It's just too cruel," Li Yuee said, shaking her head as she watched the TV.
Ye Xiao kept her head down, quietly eating. She certainly didn't want to engage in conversation. Was she supposed to say she was that beast?
Last night, she hadn't intended to pluck Li Ergou's hair. But seeing his thick, shiny black hair reminded her of how she went bald two hundred years ago while striving to destroy the world. Just thinking about it irritated her, and she lost control and plucked it all out.
It really wasn't her fault; if anyone was to blame, it was because Li Ergou's hair was too nice.
Actually, she was at a loss; normally capturing Li Ergou would have scored her 25,000 good person points, but instead, she ended up being docked 5,000. Sooner or later, she would pluck that dog Main God's hair clean.
System Prompt: For causing permanent psychological trauma through supernatural means, 1,000,000 good person points deducted. Points balance negative ninety-nine million.
System Warning: When the points balance reaches negative one hundred million, the Host's heartbeat will be forcibly stopped.
Just as the system's voice rang out, a news bulletin was simultaneously aired on the TV.
