The system paused, then said, "Until you get the detoxifying pill, please keep your distance from the villain."
Xu Zhen hesitantly asked, "What happens if I don't?"
The system stated, "Based on the rate of emotional development and the level of reform, the villain will, within three years, kill the host due to unbearable pain."
Xu Zhen: "!!!"
She asked, "Isn't there a heroine too? Can I ally with her?"
The system said, "This is the initial world; the heroine is not an ally."
Xu Zhen: "..."
The system continued, "Moreover, the host's identity is that of a minor character in the book, destined for execution by the villain due to teaching a group of useless students."
Xu Zhen was too frightened to speak.
It turned out the character she had become wasn't just a random nobody; she was a minor character destined to die at Little Beggar's hands?!
The plot was truly terrible.
As the five minutes neared their end, she asked the system one last question.
"If the store offers a detoxifying pill, how many points would it cost?"
The system quickly answered, "Depending on quality, fifty thousand to one hundred thousand points."
As soon as the words were spoken, the five minutes ended.
Xu Zhen's mind went silent.
Her heart filled with despair.
Fifty thousand merit points... What a rogue system; she'd never save that much in a lifetime.
It seemed she needed to keep her distance from Little Beggar.
But how?
And not only maintain distance but ensure Little Beggar harbored no affection for her.
They had been relying on each other recently, so their affection must be high.
If she didn't suppress it, Little Beggar's poison might activate, and she could be cut down in the night.
Xu Zhen would never allow that to happen.
While she cherished Little Beggar, she valued her life more. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seized a system and snuck back into the world.
If choosing between her life and breaking Little Beggar's heart, she'd choose her life!
Xu Zhen absentmindedly fiddled with the small sword, lost in thought.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She replied absentmindedly, turning to see Little Beggar entering.
Xu Zhen immediately went on high alert, jumping up and asking, "Why are you here?!"
Xun Qianchun looked up at her.
Xu Zhen stared back, still caught up in the storyline.
