The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

With things having come to this point, Si Xiaxia had no choice but to try to calm the vicious female supporting character down as quickly as possible. As a professional system, Si Xiaxia's expression changed very quickly.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully signing a contract with this system. I am System Si Xiaxia, and also the guardian of this novel world. From now on, this system will assist you in completing your missions. Your main mission is to prevent the protagonist of this novel, Shen Yingsi, from turning evil and to help him successfully ascend to godhood."

"System, mission, corruption? What the hell is all this?! I don't understand a word of it."

Si Xiaxia patiently explained, "Just like the novel you just read, according to the plot, the protagonist should have ascended to become a high god in the end, then killed all the demons in the world and saved all living beings. Then he and the female lead would have a tragic love story separated by death. But for some reason, in reality, the male lead turned evil and directly ascended to become a demon god, destroying the world. So, in order to save the world, this system must select a host in this novel world to complete the mission. And you are the host I have chosen. You need to help me stop the male lead from turning evil, so as to help him successfully ascend to become a high god."

Wen Li smiled as she contemplated turning evil and destroying the world.

"This ending is great, why bother trying to stop it? Besides, that person is Shen Yingsi, he'll laugh and say it's okay even if he gets beaten up, how rare is it for him to destroy the world?"

Si Xiaxia knew that this vicious female supporting character was unreasonable, but she had no choice.

"We've already successfully linked, you have to help me now."

"Oh dear, you're like an old lady eating porridge—shameless and vulgar. You grab anyone and expect them to do your bidding. I don't know what you're capable of, daring to order me around."

Si Xiaxia was not annoyed by what she heard, she just chuckled softly.

Before Wen Li could figure out what was going on, she suddenly felt an intense pain in her internal organs, so much so that she could no longer stand up, collapsed to her knees, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Host, this system is currently residing within your body and holds the power of life and death over you. You'd better obey, lest you die again."

Obey? Wen Li's eyes darkened slightly.

"You don't seem to know me very well. Threatening me is fine, come and kill me."

Before she could even make a move, Wen Li took the sword from his hand and held it to his slender neck. The blade touched his neck, staining it red, and it seemed like she was about to kill him with a slit in the throat. Fortunately, she was pushed away by a force in time.

"You are crazy!"

Si Xiaxia was genuinely terrified by this action. Isn't it said that once someone has died, they become even more afraid of death? How could this woman be so fierce! She's practically a madwoman!

After calming down, Si Xiaxia dared not underestimate this vicious female supporting character anymore. The host had already been chosen, how could she just change him?

Si Xiaxia recalled the few scenes involving the female supporting character in the book and said, "Wen Li, don't you want to know the truth about the massacre of your maternal family? As long as you help me complete the mission, you will naturally know the truth."

The truth? Wen Li suddenly froze, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Is there still any truth behind the massacre of the Jiang family?

“You know my maternal family was wronged. They didn’t commit suicide out of fear of punishment; they were truly innocent! I am not a remnant of the family! My mother is even less so! My maternal grandfather and uncles were heroes! Isn’t that right? Isn’t that right? Isn’t that right!”

Wen Li appeared particularly agitated, her eyes bloodshot, a metallic taste emanating from her throat. She screamed incessantly, her voice hoarse and cracking as if she were venting all the pent-up grievances she had suffered over the years.

That was the truth she had searched for her entire life, but everyone told her there was no such thing as a truth, and that the Jiang family deserved to die. Now, finally, someone was on her side, telling her that there were other hidden reasons behind the Jiang family's massacre.

"Yes!"

With that sound, Wen Li's emotions finally calmed down.

“The Jiang family is innocent. They never colluded with the demon race; they are true demon-hunting heroes. Wen Li, as long as you complete the mission, I will help you find the truth.”

Can the truth behind the Jiang family's massacre really be found? She searched her entire life in her past life without a single clue. Can she be trusted?

"If you don't believe me, that's fine, but this is your only chance. Besides, if you find out I'm lying to you, you can abandon this mission at any time."

Yes, whether she was lying to her or not, she had to try. Clearing the Jiang family's name was her only wish.

Wen Li remained silent for a long time before she seemed to make up her mind. She slowly stood up, wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, and instantly regained her arrogant demeanor as a vicious female supporting character.

"Alright, I'll play along with you. But let's make this clear first, this is a deal, we're even."

"Host, I can only offer some assistance with your mission; the rest is up to you. But don't worry, the mission is quite simple. The protagonist hasn't experienced any hardships yet and still possesses a heart full of love."

After Wen Li agreed, Si Xiaxia became her devoted follower. Si Xiaxia was now completely afraid to offend this little tyrant, fearing that she might self-destruct if things didn't go her way.

"If you weren't a piece of trash, would you still be binding a host here? Tell me, what kind of help can you provide me? And how can I stop Shen Yingsi from turning evil?" Wen Li asked casually.

"Within a hundred meters of Your Highness, I can help you detect Your Highness's corruption value. Your task is to reduce the protagonist's corruption value to zero. This means that the protagonist has reached the point of having the world in his heart and compassion for all people. Only in this way can the protagonist successfully ascend to godhood."

"In my experience, most people turn to the dark side because of resentment towards the world. Your task is to resolve that resentment and make him love the world enough."

"Then all I need to do is stop him from being poisoned by the demon and stop Shen Yannan from unsealing Ghost Valley. He definitely won't turn evil if he doesn't go through those things." With that, Wen Li had a goal in mind. After going out, she kept an eye on Shen Yannan to prevent him from doing anything bad.

Si Xiaxia's voice was a little soft, sounding somewhat guilty.

"It's not that we don't want him to get hurt. The seal on Guigu Valley has loosened, and it's only a matter of time before it's broken. His Highness is here to undergo tribulation, and he needs to experience the joys and sorrows of the human world. Only in this way can he achieve enlightenment and ascend to godhood. Besides, if he hadn't been framed, how would he have been thrown into Guigu Valley to get this opportunity? And without this opportunity, how could he ascend to godhood and save the world? Moreover, if His Highness's life doesn't have some setbacks or ups and downs, how would readers enjoy reading it? Everyone loves reading stories about beautiful, strong, tragic, and redemptive heroes these days."

Wen Li was speechless: "It would be abnormal if he didn't turn evil! No normal person could withstand all this torment."

"That's not normal. God loves all people. Based on his love for all things in the world, he should have gained a profound understanding after experiencing all of this. Besides, he ascended to become an immortal in Ghost Valley, which means that his will passed the test."

"Since he hasn't turned evil yet, what do I need to do?"

"Hehehe, all you need to do is let him feel the genuine emotions between people and witness the beauty of the world. As long as he loves this world more and has enough love in his heart, he will definitely be able to overcome everything! Of course, it would be even better if you could find out the reason why the protagonist turned evil in his previous life."

Si Xiaxia spoke with righteous indignation and passion, but Wen Li was inwardly mocking her naivety.

It doesn't matter. She just needs to do what she says. As long as she gets the clues, the rest is none of her business.

Footsteps came from outside the stone chamber, and Wen Mingzhu entered the endless space.

Wen Li's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Let's go, let's try again and see who's unlucky this time." With that, Wen Li opened the stone door, and blinding light shone on her, as if trying to penetrate her and dispel the darkness of the room. Wen Li stepped into the sunlight, the stone door closing and leaving only darkness in the room, making the light filtering through the cracks seem especially pitiful.

Si Xiaxia felt a chill run down her spine, but she could only remain silent, minimizing her presence and quietly hugging her weak and pitiful self. She was supposed to be paired with the cute and kind female lead, but the villainous supporting character was already quite world-weary; how was she supposed to make the male lead feel loved? Wouldn't she just accelerate his descent into darkness? Waaah, I'm so scared!
