Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 123 Turning the Tables to Become King (36)

Unforgivable? She paused, recalling what she had done, and after a long while, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. "I didn't really want to do these things. You're not in the capital, so you don't know the difficulties I faced here."

She used to think that she was the same as the noble ladies in the capital, until one time at a banquet, she arrived a little late and happened to overhear them talking about her as a lowly concubine's daughter, saying that they would not lower themselves to associate with her if it weren't for the General's Mansion trying to win her over.

At that moment, she wanted to rush out and confront them, but reason prevailed, and she waited a while before going out to pretend that she hadn't heard anything.

Only then did she realize that she was different from her older sister.

Shen Yun couldn't quite understand why she was crying now, as if she had put herself in the position of a weak person, but heaven knows that she had nothing to do with the word "weak" at all.

There is always something hateful about a pitiful person, but even if they are hateful, they are not worthy of pity.

"You said you were having a hard time in the capital, but no matter what, even if those people don't care about you, would they dare to plot against you? Have you been harmed in the slightest?"

Mu Changxue paused, speechless, simply gazing silently into the distance, her eyes deep and unfathomable. "It's because they looked down on me that I..."

"Isn't this what should be done?" Shen Yun suddenly curled his lips into a mocking smile.

"what?"

Shen Yun slightly raised her chin, her face full of disdain. "Do you think they should respect you? Little sister, have you been around Xia Yuliu for too long and lost your mind?"

"To gain everyone's respect, even reaching my current position is impossible, let alone someone like you." Shen Yun could understand her now; it was truly hard to predict what a person with a short-circuited mind would do.

Mu Changxue seemed to have her thoughts exposed, her expression changed, but she quickly composed herself and looked up innocently, "Sister, do you know why I poisoned Father?"

Shen Yun frowned impatiently, somewhat regretting coming to listen to her nonsense. Mu Changxue's current state was clearly not right. He should have stayed in the palace with his little darling.

Although the little cutie is a bit annoying, she is truly adorable, just as her name suggests.

The smooth, tender chest felt like the finest almond tofu, and it was very elastic... One bite, and it was so smooth and silky...

"Why?" Shen Yun snapped out of his reverie and replied politely.

The moment of stunned silence lasted a bit too long, and the atmosphere was rather awkward.

I don't know if it's because I've been listening to too much nonsense, but my head feels a bit heavy.

"The reason..." she suddenly chuckled, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness, "is naturally because he actually agreed to marry you off to someone like Xia Yuliu."

Such a person? Upon hearing this, Shen Yun was basically certain that he had been given a fake script again, or rather, hidden information?

"Don't you like him?"

Mu Changxue scoffed, her eyes full of disdain. "Who would like him? If you didn't like him, why would I bother to take him away? Sister, he's not good enough for you."

The words sound nice, but they feel strange.

The fragrance inside the room grew stronger, an intense incense rarely seen even in brothels. Shen Yun felt as if she smelled a familiar scent, as if it had been with her for many years.

What a ghost.

Before long, Shen Yun realized something was wrong. Even if she was dizzy from the smoke, she shouldn't be thinking so slowly, as if she was gradually losing consciousness.

Mu Changxue took a few steps towards her, her gaping maw suddenly appearing before her. Shen Yun was startled and shook her head. "What did you do?" "How could I bear to do anything to my sister? Sister, get some sleep. If you sleep, you won't remember the wrong things your little sister did..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yun stumbled and had to grab onto a pillar to steady himself. A few moments later, his eyelids closed and his body slid uncontrollably to the ground.

My last thought before losing consciousness: I was tricked?!
……

When I regained consciousness, I was back in the pure white system space. Beside me, my silly and cute dog was watching a TV series, and I could hear the lyrics "I love you, you love me" playing in it. There were still a lot of potato chip crumbs stuck to its whiskers, and it looked very relaxed.

[Host, why are you back? Did you complete the mission?] 2345 was surprised. Was the host so quick this time? It thought it would take a long, long time to finish.

Shen Yun remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh. All her anger seemed to turn into speechless sobs. "I was murdered," she said calmly.

【What?】2345 was stunned and quickly checked the information. After a while, it timidly walked up to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun: "Have you found out what the cause is?"

2345 glanced at her, [There seems to be a power here that doesn't belong to this world.]

Shen Yun rolled her eyes. "Ordinary medicine can knock me out? You're useless." After saying that, Shen Yun took out a perfectly round, regular glass ball from her pocket. If it weren't for someone's special hobby, she wouldn't have bothered to create so many perfectly round gemstones.

The bracelet on her wrist moved slightly, and a young girl's voice, soft and sweet, called out, "Yuan Yuan?"

Shen Yun: "Hmm?"

The little girl quickly corrected herself, "Yunyun."

"So, can you find out?" Shen Yun frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the current situation.

……

"Huh?" the little girl exclaimed in surprise. "Yunyun, have you offended some important person? This is some kind of magic powder!"

The "Immortal's Powder" is indeed not something that should exist in this world.

If you smell it every hundred steps, you'll live a long and healthy life; if you smell it every ten steps, even a god can't save you.

It wouldn't be so scary if it were just ordinary poison; what's scary is that this poison only harms others and not the user.

This is a forbidden drug in her world.

Calling it a banned drug is an exaggeration, but one thing is true: very few people can actually get their hands on it.

Shen Yun carefully considered who among these people had a grudge against her, and after thinking for a while, she realized that the grudges against them were all quite serious.

"Can we leave?" If all else fails, we'll pack them up, tie them up, and beat them all up. Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

"No, the master of the restriction seems to have based it on his own soul. My power in this dimension is limited, and I have no way to break through it." The little girl was clearly frustrated, and her voice was dejected.

"Based on the soul?" Shen Yun's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he glared at 2345. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. The master is stupid, and the little thing he raised is also stupid.

"Do your best to investigate. I'll get you whatever beads you find." Although he had some suspicions about who it was, Shen Yun was still unsure. Such a foolish thing was something most people wouldn't do.
