Ye Luoli: The Charismatic Girl Leads the World to Darkness

(The ending of the previous chapter felt a bit off, so I added some things. If you're interested, you can go back and take a look.)

[Ding—Side quest triggered: Escort Wang Mo home and protect her from harm. (You can follow her from a distance)]

A few seconds after the sound rang out, a semi-transparent blue electronic screen popped up in front of Yan Xi, with the four large characters "Side Quest" flashing with a faint golden light, making it exceptionally conspicuous.

Yan Xi's gaze shifted downwards, and when she saw the familiar "Confirm or Accept" message, her eyes twitched slightly as she glanced at the idiot.

No no no no!

This little brat doesn't actually think she doesn't know he's hacked into the main system and can issue tasks at will, does he?!

When the idiot met Yan Xi's gaze, he shrank back and hid behind Mo Ran for protection.

"Are there rewards for taking on missions?" Yan Xi glanced at the electronic screen, raised an eyebrow at the idiot, and casually flicked a blade of grass she had picked from somewhere.

You expect her to travel such a long distance without any reward? Keep dreaming!

The idiot picked at his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and then his right hand, which was behind his back, moved rapidly downwards, as if he were typing on a keyboard.

Half a minute later, the semi-transparent electronic screen in front of Yan Xi flashed, and when she looked again, there was a new task reward.

[Quest Reward: 5 Millennium Inner Cores (Random Attributes)]

Mo Ran glanced at the electronic screen, then at Yan Xi's thoughtful expression, and tilted his head to ask in a low voice, "Why give her a thousand-year-old inner core?"

"Because Jiu Jiu doesn't need anything else yet. If we give it to her now, she won't need it, and when she does, she won't be able to find it!" the idiot whispered.

"Really? She doesn't seem like the sloppy type."

“Really!” the idiot nodded firmly. “She almost lost me several times!”

"..." Mo Ran looked shocked, glanced at Yan Xi, then at the idiot, and suddenly gave it a thumbs up.

"Alright, although this inner core isn't very useful, it'll look quite nice as a collectible bead." Yan Xi rubbed her wrist and said, "I accept!"

"You two who want to watch the show, lead the way!"

"Alright!" The idiot raised an eyebrow at Mo Ran and said clownishly, "Just you wait and see!"

--------------

On a summer night, without any deliberate embellishment from magical forces, the night sky is clear and bright.

Although there weren't many stars to see in the city, the combination with the golden crescent moon created a unique atmosphere.

The neighborhood where Wang Mo lives has no streetlights and relies entirely on moonlight for illumination.

Wang Mo, carrying the box and her schoolbag, walked briskly ahead, with Luo Lifei beside her.

Yan Xi swung the foxtail grass and strolled casually less than ten meters away from Wang Mo, walking with an air of nonchalance. Stupid Egg and Mo Ran sat on her left and right shoulders, looking very well-behaved.

Only Wang Mo's footsteps could be heard on the street.

Suddenly, Luo Li stopped, frowned, and turned to look behind her.

The street behind was deserted, with only a few leaves occasionally drifting by in the wind.

"Nobody's here? Am I mistaken?" Luo Li muttered to herself.

"What's wrong, Luo Li?" Wang Mo asked, turning around.

Luo Li glanced back a few more times before turning back to Wang Mo and smiling, "It's alright, Master, let's go quickly."

The two, one human and one fairy, continued walking forward.

On the roadside, in a shadowy spot no more than five meters from where Luo Li had just stood, Yan Xi, with a blade of grass in her mouth, stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall, watching the two figures gradually disappear into the moonlight, a disdainful smile curving her lips.

"The protagonist...? Ha, I've been playing assassination games for so long, do you think I'd catch you?"

☆

The community's fitness plaza is spacious and clean. The bright, clear silver moonlight shines on the ground, and a gentle breeze makes it feel peaceful and comfortable.

Of course, it would be even better if those naughty kids weren't there.

In the center of the square, three boys, around eight or nine years old, were huddled together, kicking and stomping on a golden tin toy while shouting:

"The monster isn't dead yet!"

"Let him know how powerful we are! Explosive Flying Kick!"

Hey! Shadowless Kick!

"Hey!"

"Behold my Soul-Shattering Flying Kick! Drink!"

After kicking it for a while, seemingly getting tired of it, one of the boys wearing headphones stepped on the tin toy and said, "This monster is too tough, let's take it apart!"

As he spoke, he picked up the tin toy, reached out and pulled off one of its arms, and then began to twist the tin toy's head.

Three figures were sitting on a willow tree next to the square.

"Jiu Jiu, shall we beat them up?" The idiot frowned, his eyes filled with coldness and disgust as he looked at the three boys.

It has a system friend whose predecessor was one of these toys that was broken and dismantled by naughty kids. It told the idiot about these things, so the idiot hates this kind of person very much.

"Good boy," Yan Xi patted its head and said softly, "Wang Mo is here, he'll fix it."

Besides... Yan Xi rubbed the silver pinky ring on her right little finger with her left hand. What if she went to beat the child... crippled or killed him?

Sure enough, before the brat could twist the tin toy's head off, Wang Mo jumped out first.

Wang Mo first pushed Luo Li into the box, placed it on the ground at the corner, ran out, snatched the tin toy from the boy's hand, and then shouted:

"Toys have lives too! How could you hurt him like this!"

"...Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Several boys burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.

Yan Xi slapped herself across the face, her face contorted with exasperation.

The idiot's lips twitched, and he looked speechless.

Holy crap! This is the female lead of this world?! She... this woman must have traded her brains for kindness, right?!

You, a high school student, are telling a bunch of ordinary people that toys have lives? What's the difference between that and pointing at a pig and calling it a chicken?!

Isn't this just pure nonsense?!

The kids obviously didn't believe it. They mocked Wang Mo and yelled at her to return the tin toy.

Luo Li was woken up by the noise. After learning what had happened, she was furious to see the three boys insisting on taking back their toys. She used [Heart Light Powder] to turn the three boys into wooden toys the size of insects.

The three boys were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, so Wang Mo had Luo Li turn them back to normal.

The boys, now back in human form, turned and ran as if chased by dogs.

"Huh? This tin toy..." Yan Xi didn't watch the show, she kept staring at the tin toy, frowning and muttering to herself.

"Jiu Jiu, what's wrong?" the fool asked, and Mo Ran also turned to look at her in confusion.

“That tin toy…” Yan Xi waved her hand, creating a soundproof barrier, and looked at the idiot: “The scent on it is so familiar…”

Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Yan Xi's mind, and her beautiful eyes widened abruptly: "It...it...it can't be Jin Litong, can it!"

The idiot scrolled through the world's storyline for a while, then nodded and said, "Hmm... after he's released from his seal, he'll be called Jin Litong."

"Damn it!" Yan Xi's facial muscles twitched unnaturally, his mouth widened, and finally he couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach and almost falling off the tree.

"Haha ...

"Idiot, take a picture! Take the most embarrassing picture possible!"

Haha ...

"Jin Litong! You've finally met your match!"

The fool and Mo Ran exchanged a glance as they looked at Yan Xi, who was laughing hysterically.

Mo Ran: What's wrong?

The idiot shrugs: "A hen, indeed."

Suddenly, the two little ones had a flash of inspiration, looked at each other and nodded: Their host/master has gone mad!
