"System, are you sure about this? Could this not be the male lead?" Wan Yun asked, a thought occurring to her.
Hearing this, the task system's voice stated without the slightest hesitation, "This is the male lead, I wouldn't make a mistake. Go ahead and try to win him over, but be careful! It's taken you two years for your soul to completely fuse with this body. You must act with caution! If you die again, not even the Great Sage Equalling Heaven could save you."
"I know."
-------------------------------------
Afterward, Wan Yun disguised herself as an innocent young girl, frequently appearing before the Demon Lord to gain his favor.
Once, twice... after the ninety-ninth attempt, Wan Yun, unable to give up, asked the system, "How is it? Has his favorability changed?"
The task system, falling into self-doubt, replied, "No."
Could it be... this Demon Lord really wasn't the male lead? Impossible! With such a powerful halo, how could it have misidentified him!
Then... there could only be one explanation! The male lead already had someone in his heart!
Thinking this, the task system seemed to make a firm decision and stated, "For the male lead's progress bar to change, unless... you kill the person in his heart!"
"The person in his heart?" As she spoke, a figure emerged in Wan Yun's mind.
Tang Li!
Damn it!
It's that bitch again!
"System, are you saying I should go and kill that woman!"
The task system replied, "So far, this is the only way."
Recalling the tribulation lightning from before, Wan Yun's eyes became solemn as she said, "Do you remember how I died before?"
The task system responded, "Killed by lightning. Is there a problem?"
"..."
Wan Yun continued, "Then do you remember what kind of lightning it was..."
(￣_,￣)
"Tribulation lightning."
Wan Yun stated with a blank expression, "So, do you think I can defeat her..."
Upon hearing this, the task system lightly replied, "I'm asking you to kill her, not to defeat her."
A single sentence awakened her from her daze.
Wan Yun's eyes brightened, "I get it!"
Afterward, Wan Yun began attempting to approach Ming Li, but each attempt ended in failure. This was because the Demon Lord had placed a barrier outside Ming Li's palace, preventing anyone from getting close.
Just as she was about to give up in despair, she noticed a change in the barrier...
The barrier... had weakened! Enough for her to slip in unnoticed!
On a dark and windy night.
A slender figure swiftly crossed the sky, successfully sneaking into the palace where Ming Li resided.
At this moment. kan shuwu. xiA
Inside the palace.
Ming Li, reclining on a chaise lounge, curled her lips.
The system within the space watched the approaching figure on the system display and asked curiously, "Host, why did you let her in?"
Ming Li elegantly rolled her eyes. "Don't you get bored staying in this place all day? You have to find some fun. I've seen her loitering outside for days. Letting her in to see what she wants is fine, and besides..." Ming Li paused, her gaze drifting through the window towards the blood-red moon outside, a meaningful curve forming on her lips. "Don't you think she has a familiar aura about her?"
The system truthfully replied, "I don't."
Ming Li, "..." (￣_,￣)
Seeing Ming Li remain silent, the system asked curiously, "Host, what are we doing staying here all this time?"
Ming Li's gaze toward the outside of the window narrowed slightly. "There are some things I need to figure out..."
