After my whole family read my mind, they slayed the villain with a bang, and I won without lifting a

It's all because these soldiers are too down-to-earth. Spending every day with them, playing mahjong, eating instant noodles, and so on, we become very familiar with each other after just a few hours.

She had already forgotten their military identities.

Grandpa Lu put his hands together and said, "Well, I'll leave the rest to you. If possible, I'd like to live to be a hundred years old."

Only by living to be a hundred years old can I spend more time with Ningning...

The soldier patted his chest: "Yes, we will."

A soldier's duty is to protect the people. Moreover, these people are the family members of their leaders; they should do everything in their power to protect them.

……

"I've received important intelligence. That bastard Jiang Yanzhou wants to use the 'soft bone water' against us." Lu Yunjie's teeth were practically grinding to powder.

“I can hear Ningning’s thoughts too.” Lu Yubai glanced at Lu Yunjie: “So, I can also hear the above information.”

"So what do we do now? Is there any way to withstand the attack of the Soft Bone Water?" Lu Yunjie asked, glancing around at everyone's faces.

Ji Shiyan tapped his finger slightly, and after a moment said, "I have a way."

As soon as he said that, all eyes turned to him.

Under everyone's gaze, Ji Shiyan slowly said in a deep voice, "We need two targets."

……

┍Host, keep going! Host, keep going! Only 100 more experience points needed to enjoy the gossip! Charge! Charge! ┒

Lu Yining chuckled inwardly: "Tongzi, in your current state, you'd be perfect as a cheerleader."

The gossip-eating system: ┍6……┒

It won't do anything that requires yelling until its throat is hoarse.

After a while, Lu Yining called out to the gossip-eating system again: System! There's no more gossip! What to do? The ants' gossip is gone, the snakes' gossip is gone, and the spiders' gossip is gone too!

Jiang Yanzhou was about to leave, what should he do?

"Host, don't worry, don't worry, I'll think of a way."

After a while, it actually came up with a solution.

"Host, let's eat some melons from the flowers, plants, and trees! After all, flowers, plants, and trees are living things too; they all have spirits, don't they? As long as there's life, as long as it's alive, we can eat melons from it!"

Lu Yining was delighted: Tongzi, you are really smart.

After being praised like that, the gossip system instantly became arrogant: ┍Of course~┒

Lu Yining: I just praised you a couple of times, and you're already getting cocky?

With the reminder from the gossip system, Lu Yining quickly moved to the flowers, plants, and trees to enjoy the gossip.

Fortunately, there are mountains around, so there are quite a lot of flowers, plants and trees. In addition, Lu Yining only has 100 experience points left to reach the maximum level, so overall, her leveling speed is relatively fast.

After a long while of tirelessly and obsessively watching the drama unfold, Lu Yining's tense nerves finally relaxed.

Lu Yining: System, you've reached the maximum level. Now it's up to you.

No problem!

Five seconds after the "gossip system" finished its response, it continued: "Host, congratulations! You've finally reached the maximum level! Now that you're maxed out, I can crush Jiang Yanzhou's system!"

Lu Yining expressed his satisfaction with this.

She's worked so hard for so long, and this is the result she wanted.

However, before I destroy his system, there are some things I need to show you.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yining felt a white blur before her eyes. She felt as if she were in a small space with no one else around and no other noise. It was too quiet.

Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly in front of them, and a book that was radiating golden light floated over from afar and landed in front of Lu Yining.

The pages turned slowly without any wind, revealing a beautifully illustrated book.

In the book, she and Jiang Yanzhou are a couple; she is the female protagonist, and Jiang Yanzhou is the male protagonist.

Undeniably, he loved her very much.

But his love was twisted, deformed, and suffocating her.

His love was not healthy.

He wanted to have her all to himself.

He didn't like anyone appearing around her, not even her grandfather, not even her parents, not even her brother; he wouldn't allow any of them to be near her.

That's why he later planned a series of murders, and this man went so far as to kill her entire family!

He even imprisoned her in the castle.

Ji Shiyan is the second male lead in the book, and he is also the person she later falls in love with.

Because her heart wasn't with Jiang Yanzhou, Jiang Yanzhou believed that it was because Ji Shiyan had bewitched her that she kept thinking about him.

He believed that as long as Ji Shiyan was killed, everything would return to normal.

The night before he made his move, Ji Shiyan came to the castle to rescue her.

He and her only surviving brother, her third brother, came together to rescue her.

"Ningning, I'm here to save you. Let's get you out of here together." Ji Shiyan looked at Lu Yining, who was pale and weak, with heartache and said softly.

"No, you all go quickly, don't worry about me." Lu Yining disagreed with them: "That bastard has already laid a trap inside the castle, just waiting for you to arrive. If you come now, it's like walking into a trap."

"It's alright." Lu Yunjie looked at his sister with a doting smile: "As long as Ningning is alright, it's okay even if your third brother sacrifices himself."

Looking at the two men who had risked their lives to save her, Lu Yining's eyes reddened: "How could you be so foolish? If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have died. At most... at most I would have been locked up here."

But now, they've arrived...

They've come to die...

"Clap clap-"

The sound of clapping came from not far away. Ji Shiyan and Lu Yunjie turned around warily to look at the person who had come.

"What a touching scene."

Jiang Yanzhou walked towards them step by step, his dark red suit making him appear extremely sinister.

"Ningning, I'm giving you two choices. You can only save one of them. Who do you choose to save?"

Lu Yining looked at Jiang Yanzhou with disgust: "If you really want to kill someone, then kill me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhou's face instantly darkened. It was unclear which mechanism he had activated, but an enormous iron cage descended from above, firmly trapping Ji Shiyan and Lu Yunjie inside.

He stepped forward and firmly grasped her hands with both of his.

"Ningning, is there something wrong with me? Why do you want to leave me?"

Jiang Yanzhou's eyes were filled with obsession as he stared intently at Lu Yining, hoping to get an answer from her.

Seeing that she couldn't break free from his grasp, Lu Yining simply gave up, looked away, and spoke in a voice as calm as the wind, yet filled with endless hatred.

"I don't love you. If I have to spend the rest of my life with you, I'd rather die and be done with it."

After hearing her answer, Jiang Yanzhou almost froze on the spot.
