Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

The night grew colder and colder, and finally, Ren Baozhi was the only one left in the mountains.

She sat on the branch of an ancient tree. The tree was very tall, so tall that she could see all the surrounding trees.

The moonlight was bright, but not as glaring as before. Instead, it became soft, with mottled silver light and swaying shadows of the trees.

In the silence, she leaned against a branch, raised her head and closed her eyes: "How long will I remain hidden?"

The branches trembled slightly, and in an instant there was another person beside him.

The man in black tilted his head and approached Ren Baozhi: "Murder again."

Ren Baozhi didn't open her eyes: "Yeah."

"Is the method I taught you useful?"

"Ah."

The man in black swung his legs and said, "What a cold-blooded young man."

"Ah."

"Your neck must be sore from leaning back like that."

"Ah."

The man in black put his hand on Ren Baozhi's left shoulder and said, "I'll massage it for you."

Ren Baozhi finally glanced at her sideways, his expression unusually calm. "It will be easier for you to suck blood after the blood circulation and blood stasis are removed, right, Si Jiangchou?"

The man in black smiled with his eyes curved: "Who is Si Jiangchou?"

"Still pretending."

The man in black pinched Ren Baozhi's left shoulder and said, "If one day, you can take off this mask from me, you can see if I am Si Jiangchou."

Ren Baozhi reached out to lift the veil of the man in black, but was grabbed by the wrist again. She looked at her wrist and said, "It won't be long."

The man in black looked towards the pit where the corpses were and asked, "Are you afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Ren Baozhi followed the black-clad man's gaze and looked down. "I never believe in retribution in the underworld."

"Hot-blooded young man," the man in black swung his legs, "let me ask you a question."

"ask."

"Your blood is clearly incomparable to anyone else's, so how can it soothe the Gu?"

Ren Baozhi leaned against the tree trunk with her legs bent and rested on the branches. Who knows, maybe it was because of the soul from another world, maybe it was because of the bound system, or maybe it was just because of the aura of the original heroine.

But she couldn't say any of this. Finally, she just said, "Shouldn't you ask this yourself? I don't know anything about poisonous insects."

"I have a good understanding of the Gu worm, but as for you," the man in black tilted his head and looked at her, "I don't understand it."

Ren Baozhi avoided her probing gaze and fixed her eyes on the black-clad man's swaying legs: "Do you think I would like being 'studied'?"

"I don't like it, but I'm curious."

"I want to unveil you, will you let me?"

The man in black smiled and said, "Then it all depends on your ability."

She hooked her finger: "Don't lean over there, come sit next to me."

"Ok?"

"Blood."

The moonlight poured straight down, and two silhouettes were faintly visible among the branches and leaves.

One of them was sitting upright with an upright posture, while the other one was leaning slightly to the side with his head slightly lowered.

The man in black took a small bottle of blood and closed Ren Baozhi's clothes.

Ren Baozhi did not ask the man in black why he suddenly changed the way of taking blood, but just stared blankly at the new soil on the ground.

The moonlight on the new earth was pale, like frost and snow, reminding her of a line from "Dream of the Red Chamber":

It's like a bird that has eaten all the food and has flown away to the forest...

The man in black finished the rest of her sentence: "The earth is so clean after the white snow fell."

After the dust settled on that day, Ji Ying officially became an employee of the Women's Newspaper. She was illiterate and only did waitressing work like serving tea and water.

Nowadays, when reporters are collecting news, they always ask about the women they meet and help them to the best of their ability.

When they see people quarreling, they help to mediate; when they see people losing things, they help to find them; when they see bad guys, they help to catch them. The reputation of the Women's Newspaper is getting better and better in the minds of the people, and its business is getting more and more prosperous.

That day, after Ren Lanyue finished collecting the news, she returned to the Women's Newspaper and ran into Ren Baozhi's office, sighing and feeling very sad.

Ren Baozhi was teaching Jiangchun how to do fraction calculations. She patted Wowotou's head and asked him to comfort Chen Lanyue first.

Wo Wo Tou obediently poked its head out from Ren Baozhi's lap and licked the back of Ren Lanyue's hand. Ren Lanyue slapped its head mercilessly, and it shrank back onto Ren Baozhi's legs with a whimper, facing Ren Lanyue with its butt.

After Ren Baozhi finished teaching Jiangchun, he comforted Wo Wo Tou and asked Ren Lanyue jokingly, "Yue'er was cheated out of money again?"

Ren Lanyue took one of Ren Baozhi's arms and rested her head on it, sobbing but no tears came out: "Sister, I'm obviously helping them out of kindness, but why are there always some bad people who try to cheat me out of my money? I don't have much money myself, sob."

Ren Baozhi couldn't help laughing out loud: "You are too kind and naive. In the eyes of others, you are just someone who gives away money for free."

"What should Yue'er do then?" Ren Lanyue said aggrievedly.

Ren Baozhi said, "Then how about this? Let's put our nighttime martial arts training on hold for a while. I'll teach you some detective skills during this time. If someone tells you about family difficulties in the future, you can observe them in the dark for a few days to see if it's true or not, and then decide whether to help them or not. How do you say that?"

Ren Lanyue rubbed her face on Ren Baozhi's arm: "Sister, you are so kind. Yue'er likes you so much."

Ren Baozhi looked at her naive appearance and smiled helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 20th. In order to celebrate the official opening of the men's newspaper, Bai You's cousin Bai Shou held a Beili Famous Flowers Banquet at Lady Si's house. He also specially invited Ren Baozhi and told her to be sure to attend the banquet.

Although the banquet was nominally hosted by Bai Shou, Ren Baozhi knew very well that Long Aotian was the mastermind behind the scenes. It was just that Wu Zhou officials and their immediate family members were not allowed to do business, so they found someone to cover up their tracks.

The sky is gloomy today, with low-hanging dark clouds filled with rain, as if it will pour down at any second.

Ren Baozhi changed into a white dress and black boots and was about to go out to the banquet.

Ren Lanyue pulled Ren Baozhi's arm and shook it: "Sister, if you really want to go, this is clearly a Hongmen Banquet."

Wo Wo Tou circled around Ren Baozhi's feet, barking in response.

Ren Baozhi turned and looked at her: "Some things can't be avoided. If not this time, there will be next time. We might as well go and see what tricks he can play. I'm not afraid of him."

"Yue'er is worried about her sister."

Seeing that Ren Lanyue still didn't let go, Ren Baozhi said softly, "Didn't Yue'er teach me how to dance? I'm not afraid of drinking or dancing. What else can they do to me?"

"But then what are you doing going so early?" Ren Lanyue asked, "When the servant brought us the invitation last time, didn't he say the banquet would start at noon? It's not even noon yet."

Ren Baozhi unfolded the invitation and showed it to Ren Lanyue: "Whose invitation only states the location without the specific time? Don't trust the servants' words. It's better to go early."
