In the light screen, Bo Xiaomi covered her head and kept talking to a patch of thin air.
It was as if there was something invisible in front of her that no one else could see.
The man hidden in darkness curled his lips into a smile, then stood up.
Bo Xiaomi kept cursing at the system, "What use are you, if all you do is consume Heart Value? What else can you do?"
"I’m telling you, figure out a way to get me out of here soon, otherwise, even if you take back everything I’ve earned from me, don’t expect to get any more Heart Value."
This had been on Bo Xiaomi’s mind for a long time; since the system especially needed Heart Value, it must be exceptionally important to it....
But clearly, her system was rigid and failed to adapt, indifferent to Bo Xiaomi’s threats and insults.
However, when Bo Xiaomi threatened to commit suicide, it unexpectedly fluctuated for a moment.
"Received the host’s brainwave wanting to detach, initiating energy absorption."
Right after that, Bo Xiaomi felt her head start to hurt more and more as the vitality in her body quickly drained away.
"Stop, stop it now, I was just joking...."
The mechanical voice rang again in Bo Xiaomi’s mind, "Crisis averted, crisis averted."
Panic still lingered in Bo Xiaomi’s eyes, unable to dissipate for a long time.
The system... it actually wanted to dry her out alive.
It was then that she belatedly felt afraid, having never before considered whether this entity was good or bad; she only knew it could change her appearance, allowing her to obtain what she had always dreamt of....
At that moment, while Bo Xiaomi’s face remained twisted with fear, a huge door split open from a metallic surface right in front of her.
Qian Jin stood there with a beaming smile.
This Qian Jin, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked especially different from usual.
Bo Xiaomi nervously clutched the clothes at her chest, not daring to approach casually, and looked over warily, "Qian Jin, why?"
Just as the innocence once on Bo Xiaomi’s face was gone, Qian Jin was no longer the usual sunny self.
Qian Jin stood with hands behind his back, watching the girl opposite him with interest as she nervously lost her composure, like a frantic little mouse... adorable...
"Which aspect are you asking about?"
As he spoke, Qian Jin slowly stepped closer to Bo Xiaomi, "Are you asking why I brought you here, or why I pretended to be ignorant of your abnormalities?"
"What?" Bo Xiaomi was greatly startled and forced herself to respond calmly, "What abnormalities? Do I have any?"
But her panicked, darting eyes betrayed her, making Qian Jin’s smile deepen.
Bo Xiaomi had always thought she had concealed it well and could not figure out when someone had noticed the strange things about her.
Qian Jin: "Often talking to yourself, becoming more beautiful every few days, and having a slender waist one day, then becoming voluptuous the next...."
With each point Qian Jin made, Bo Xiaomi’s expression grew uglier.
"Do I need to go on?"
Bo Xiaomi clenched her teeth, her lips trembling, "No, no need...." Unconsciously, she had revealed so many slip-ups.
"You knew all along, why...?"
"Why pretend not to know, right?" Qian Jin said nonchalantly, "Isn’t it because the food you make is too delicious, making us always want to keep you around a bit longer?"
"Did Huai Yuan and Huai Zhi already know?"
Bo Xiaomi shivered even more violently, her biggest secret exposed for all to see, which made her unavoidably frightened.
As if that wasn’t enough to agitate her, Qian Jin continued, "Do you think they’re fools, not able to notice such an obvious situation?"
"Yet now, they definitely wouldn’t expect me to make the first move, would they?"
Qian Jin laughed heartily for a moment, "As long as you reveal your secret to me, making me more powerful than Su Huaiyuan and Yang Huai, I will let you go."
Initially, he hadn’t planned on exposing Bo Xiaomi just yet; truth be told, he was quite fond of the girl.
But now, the emergence of the new medicine made Qian Jin unable to hold back any longer.
The thought of someone soon being able to extract massive amounts of energy from the void creatures to enhance their superpowers made him restless.
If he didn’t resort to underhanded methods, given his current abilities and family background, he wouldn’t stand a chance to benefit.
The Su Family and Yang Family had money, after all, and spending a large amount of it still earned them gains. With Su Huaiyuan and Yang Huai already more talented than he was, if things continued , he feared he might end up being nothing more than a subordinate fetching their shoes.
Qian Jin felt he wasn’t inferior to them at all, but why should he be seen as less?
It was said they considered him a brother, but everyone knew who did the most leg work—it was him.
The resentment in Qian Jin’s eyes was unmistakable, and it only softened when he glanced at Bo Xiaomi again.
But it didn’t matter, it would soon be a non-issue.
"I know you have a secret, just tell me, and I promise I’ll keep it," Qian Jin said, looking at Bo Xiaomi expectantly, urging her with his eyes.
Bo Xiaomi kept shaking her head, "You’re mistaken, I really can’t help you."
She had a system, but it was meant for her use alone.
"Detecting anomaly from the original world, eliminate the threat, eliminate the threat."
A rapid warning signal resonated incessantly in Bo Xiaomi’s mind, making her body tense instantly.
Bo Xiaomi still feared the punishment the system might impose, but she couldn’t dream of the outcome that she ultimately couldn’t bear.
She felt rapid changes in her body.
While Qian Jin witnessed a dramatic transformation.
A second ago, Bo Xiaomi was the pretty woman he knew, then in a blink, under his very eyes, she morphed into a greasy, fat, short person with small glasses and a big, flat face.
Qian Jin was dumbfounded, staring at the person before him, unable to recover his senses.
Was this the true appearance of Bo Xiaomi?
The thought that he had once fantasized about a woman with such a face made Qian Jin’s stomach churn, a desire to vomit overwhelming him.
He actually bent over and dry heaved a few times.
Bo Xiaomi, holding her cheeks, screamed incessantly, her eyes watching her slender arms and legs thicken and beef up, that nightmarish image returning...
"Change back, change back, please..."
No matter how much Bo Xiaomi pleaded, all that wasn’t hers returned to its original state through the system, but did you think that was the end?
What Bo Xiaomi couldn’t foresee was yet to come, the changes in her body continued.
She felt the system continuously extracting energy from her body, her plump form visibly shrinking at a visible rate.
If Qian Jin could maintain his composure during the previous transformation, the next scene made it impossible for him to even keep standing.
