Gu Yao looked at Gu Zhen, who had cried herself to sleep on the bed. Her once bright and lively face now looked somewhat tired.

Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes, the redness at the corners and the clear tear tracks making Gu Zhen, who was never like a girl, appear somewhat pitiful.

Gu Yao took the damp handkerchief from the maid and carefully wiped the tear stains off the person's face.

Her eyes were gentle and filled with heartache.

She then raised her hand to tidy up her sister's messy hair, personally transforming Gu Zhen back into the proud and radiant Princess You Su.

Princess You Su is the only girl in their generation, and she should be cherished and pampered.

His second sister used to protect him, so now he can avenge her.

Sitting by the bed, Gu Yao gazed at Gu Zhen for a long time, comforting his sister who was not sleeping soundly. Only after she was truly asleep did he carefully instruct the maid to take good care of her.

Turning to leave, Gu Yao's eyes turned cold.

Now, he has more important things to do.

He wanted to see which bastard dared to bully him, You Su.

He walked quickly out with a grim face, his eyes filled with suppressed anger, his usually gentle face now radiating a sharp, cold intensity.

"66,..."

66 was very quick-witted; he came out as soon as Gu Yao called him and immediately interrupted Gu Yao, knowing what Gu Yao wanted to do.

"Host, today you have offended Gu Zhen, who is the Crown Prince of Beihai, Xun Mo's older brother Xun Yan. He is..."

66 glanced at Gu Yao's increasingly gloomy face and spoke in a softer voice, feeling that if he spoke out, his host would assassinate him.

How can I prevent the host from twisting my head off? I need help urgently!

Gu Yao smiled instead, turned to stare at 66, "Speak up, why did you stop? What is it? I'd like to know what earth-shattering identity he has."

Hearing Gu Yao's sarcastic remarks, 66 panicked and silently took two steps back. With a look of grim determination on her face, she finished speaking in one breath, like a machine gun.

"He is the mudfish spirit that Gu Zhen picked up by Su Bian. Gu Zhen discovered his true identity today. Moreover, he was discussing matters with Du Heng, the Celestial Clan's Divine Lord, and it seems that Gu Zhen overheard them. Due to the unexplained parts of the world involved, the system cannot find out what the two were talking about."

So it's really not because I'm useless.

Don't blame me.

What bad intentions could 66 possibly have? He just wants to live to see Xiao Jiu return.

66 silently took two steps back. His intuition told him that Gu Yao was extremely terrifying right now.

Keep your distance.

Stay safe!

If you get disfigured, you won't be able to catch Xiao Jiu anymore.

After hearing what 66 said, Gu Yao's smile grew even brighter. Although he should have looked happy, 66 felt a sense of unease about him.

Unconsciously curling up into a ball, 66 looked up at the sky, tears streaming down her face.

How could there be such a terrifying host?

Gu Yao turned to stare at 66, his expression a half-smile. He raised his hand and beckoned to 66, his tone gentle, "66, come here."

66 shrank back suddenly, wanting to escape quickly, but his sense of responsibility as a system kept him rooted to the spot.

Gu Yao stared at 66 without any attempt to hide his gaze or yield.

66 saw the suppressed madness, the sinister intent, and... an unyielding spirit in those emerald eyes.

He could roughly guess what Gu Yao was going to do. He sighed, exchanged the system items, and walked towards Gu Yao.

He handed the medicine bottle to Gu Yao, but seeing that Gu Yao was about to take it without hesitation, 66 withdrew his hand and looked up at Gu Yao with a serious expression in his eyes.

"Host, are you really sure? This medicine can greatly increase your strength, but at the cost of your lifespan. If you drink this medicine, this body will die prematurely, greatly reducing the time you have to complete missions."

Gu Yao knew that 66 understood him, just as he knew what he wanted even though he hadn't said it.

66 is an extremely compatible partner.

It is indeed an excellent system that lives up to its reputation.

He should have known his own choice, but he still chose to persuade himself; this was 66's selfish motive.

After all, the system has no obligation to advise a host who is courting disaster.

Perhaps, there's also the consideration of their own stupid system.

Who knows.

Gu Yao calmed down, his gaze fixed on 66 with determination and seriousness. "66, you know that, don't you?"

66 sighed.

Yes, he already knew about Gu Yao's choice, but he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to try to persuade him.

After all, from his perspective of maximizing the interests of the system and the host, increasing the risk of mission failure for the sake of people in a small world is a bad deal.

But humans are complex beings, aren't they?

Human nature is complex, which is why it has infinite possibilities and variables.

He said no more; he knew he couldn't persuade Gu Yao.

66 reached out and handed over the medicine in her hand.

Seeing this, Gu Yao smiled sincerely and drank the medicine in the bottle without the slightest hesitation.

Feeling the increase in his cultivation level, Gu Yao turned to 66 and whispered a thank you.

66 paused for a moment when she heard the casual "thank you," then smiled again.

Xiao Jiu's host is quite interesting.

Gu Yao didn't linger any longer and raised his hand to summon his natal spirit sword—the Mirror-Slaying Sword!

Feeling the excitement of his natal spirit sword floating in front of him, the translucent white blade emitted a trembling hum.

Gu Yao felt as if he had met a long-lost old friend.

He didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from, nor did he want to delve into it.

He only knew that he wanted to do it, so he did it.

Just like now, he likes people with Su and is willing to protect them. He truly considers Gu Zhen his own sister. If his sister is bullied, he, as the young master of Su, will naturally get revenge.

Gu Yao reached out and gently stroked the pure white sword, then lightly grasped the hilt. Ci Jing eagerly squeezed into Gu Yao's hand, as if it couldn't wait to go and cause trouble with its master, mischievous and adorable.

Gu Yao smiled, made a hand seal, picked up his sword, and flashed away.

66 looked at the spot where Gu Yao had just stood, sighed, resignedly exchanged for many life-saving items, and followed.

What can he do if his host wants to cause trouble? He can only act as a mother hen, providing support and making sure his host doesn't die easily.

Otherwise, Xiao Jiu will be very sad when she comes back.

He wasn't doing it for Gu Yao, it was only for Xiao Jiu.

After all, this was a host that Xiao Jiu had finally managed to bind with.

If he dies, who will he ask to give Xiao Jiu a new host?

While mentally reassuring herself, 66 brought along all the props that Gu Yao might need.

Perhaps this is Gu Yao's life.

We can't be careless!
