The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

The wedding ended with a sweet and shy kiss between the couple amidst applause from the crowd.

As the pastor closed the book.

Luo Qingcheng's mother looked up, searching for her, but to no avail.

She stood in a corner at a distance.

The scene shattered, and on the last fragment was Luo Qingcheng's mother's terrified face.

A single thread slowly emerged from the knot and dissipated.

The system asked in surprise: [Why didn't you fulfill Chengcheng's wish?]

Luo Qingcheng scoffed: [Trash system, this is "my" Thousand-Threaded Knot, of course it must fulfill "my" wish!]

She emphasized the pronunciation of "I".

The system asked hesitantly: [But, isn't Chengcheng you?]

[Who told you she was me?]

She wouldn't be so willful as to ask her mother to take her to an amusement park, and she strongly refused to let her mother remarry.

[Right? My lovely dog.]

Luo Qingcheng suddenly asked.

Amidst the system's confusion, a yellow dot of light emerged from the mind.

Then, a yellow light emanated from Luo Qingcheng's heart, which, under Luo Qingcheng's knowing gaze, transformed into a chubby, dog-like creature.

It has two small horns on its head.

Right now, they're happily frolicking in the air, calling out, "Sister! Sister!"

The system was surprised. [What on earth is going on?]

Luo Qingcheng: [Didn't you notice that she kept referring to herself as "Chengcheng" in her speech? But what if she wasn't "Chengcheng"?]

Because she is not "Chengcheng", she speculated about what "Chengcheng" hoped for based on her own assumptions about Luo Qingcheng, but in reality, Luo Qingcheng did not think that way at all.

She wasn't particularly keen on going to the amusement park, nor did she resist her mother's wedding.

Rather, ever since she discovered her health problem, she has been hoping that her mother could find someone to marry as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't be too sad after losing her.

But besides this dog, no one else knew everything about her.

System: [Then what is this?]

The soul fluctuations clearly show a 90% compatibility.

Luo Qingcheng reached out and stroked the head of the dog-like creature in the air.

[It's a dog!]

Convinced!

system:……

[This kind of creature probably doesn't exist in your original world, right?]

[I don't know, she suddenly appeared one day, but it seems only I can see her. I couldn't understand what she was saying before, but for some reason I can now.]

At first, she thought she was hallucinating because she was too lonely, but even if it was a hallucination, she was willing to let herself sink into it.

Luo Qingcheng's gaze softened.

The dog-like creature was still frolicking, flying to her ear and rubbing against Luo Qingcheng's face; its white fur was soft and fluffy.

The hair tickled Luo Qingcheng's nose, causing him to sneeze.

The dog froze, then carefully flew to a spot a little distance from Luo Qingcheng. "Sister, are you alright?"

Previously, Luo Qingcheng was sent to a place where the air smelled bad and everything was white because of her fluffy quilt.

I stayed there for a long time.

She was a little scared.

Luo Qingcheng said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

I casually stroked the dog's head again.

The reason she strongly refused the caregiver was because she had a dog to keep her company. She knew very well that if she played with a dog that no one could see, she would definitely be considered mentally ill.

I thought the dog would never appear again.

did not expect--

Luo Qingcheng put aside his last concern.

The much smaller knotted threads swam slowly and then gradually disappeared.

The system exclaimed in surprise: [All the knots have been untied?!]

Luo Qingcheng puts his hands on his hips.

He had a proud look on his face.

[certainly!]

When the knot of thousands of threads untied itself for the first time because of her inner relief, Luo Qingcheng already understood that her previous guess was indeed correct.

The thousand-thread knot refers to a knot in one's heart.

The problem is that she herself doesn't have anything she can't figure out.

She was in poor health as a child, but with the development of medical technology, her health was cured.

The happiness of being rich is something ordinary people can't even imagine.

Although her parents remarried, they divided their assets early on to put her mind at ease, and she possessed wealth that most people in the world could not attain at a young age.

Eat, drink, sleep, play, and do whatever you want every day.

In this situation, she had nothing she wanted but couldn't have.

That's why she wouldn't be so tactless as to stop her parents from remarrying. Occasionally acting cute is a way to maintain family ties. She's always been immature, wanting both wealth and family affection—that's too greedy.

She's not that stupid.

Feelings are like disposable items; if they are worn out too much, they will eventually be discarded.

She will not be disappointed as long as she does not have expectations of others.

system:……

Very softly: [Dark.]

Luo Qingcheng smiled, his eyes narrowing: [What did you say?]

System: [Nothing.]

Luo Qingcheng didn't argue with the system.

She patted the head of the dog that had come closer.

He said, "I'm leaving."

Even the dog that had always been by her side could only earn Luo Qingcheng's temporary pity.

After passing the assessment, the scattered star-like points from the dissipated knots converged to form the exit.

She can get out as long as she gets there.

The dog nuzzled her hand, its wet, obsidian-like eyes filled with reluctance.

Luo Qingcheng smiled, knowing he was just saying it casually, "We'll meet again."

The dog took it seriously and nodded emphatically, "Baby will wait for sister!"

Luo Qingcheng let go of her hand and turned to walk towards the exit.

Stretching as he walked, he said, "Is this the Sword Inquiry Sect's extremely high mortality rate assessment? It seems a bit too easy."

The sound was faithfully transmitted into the main hall through the magical artifact. Because it was a modern scene that no one had ever seen before, Luo Qingcheng once again became the focus of the elders' observation.

Honestly, it seems a bit simpler for her.

But in reality, not everyone can control their desires.

Once Luo Qingcheng chooses to satisfy her own desires first, she will treat the illusion as reality.

The purpose of the knotted knot is to entice others to choose another option that they desire.

but--

The fact that she went to the amusement park was not because she wanted to go, nor did she stop her mother from remarrying, shows that she has a very strong sense of self.

but--

Several elders cautiously glanced at the elder who had set the question, the First Elder, who was drinking tea with a dark face beside them.

……

The pressure from the late-stage Nascent Soul stage was uncontrollably condensing into a tangible form from the black-robed man's body.

The Third Elder, who had been shoved from behind by the Second Elder and immediately became the center of attention, met the First Elder's dark gaze, forced a fake smile, and said tremblingly, "Big...Senior Brother?"

Facing his most favored junior sister, the Grand Elder coldly replied with a single word: "Hmm?"

The Third Elder suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and for some reason came up with a terrible idea. "Um, Senior Brother, the lotus flowers in the lake behind the mountain are in full bloom. Why don't we go out for a stroll together after the assessment?"

She regretted it as soon as she said it.

Why did she have to be so cheeky and invite the cold-faced devil out?

It's alright, though, the senior brother will probably refuse.

Unexpectedly, the Grand Elder paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said, "That's acceptable."

His originally cold and stern face softened slightly.

The Third Elder didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"

The Grand Elder glanced sideways. "What?"

The Third Elder smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it's nothing. It's my honor that Senior Brother agreed."

"Ah."

The temperature inside the main hall returned to normal.

The second elder, who had pushed the third elder out, quietly reached behind his back and made a gesture.

He turned around and exchanged a knowing glance with the elders.
