"Host, the male lead went to the mermaid world! And it looks like he's already at the mermaids' lair! Should we do something?" the system asked furtively from within the space.
Hearing the system, Ming Li raised an eyebrow and calmly took a sip of peach blossom wine. "You seem rather idle? Since that's the case, the weather is quite nice today. Go and wash that pile of sacks this host soiled. You're not allowed to eat if you don't finish washing them today."
System: "......Wuwuwu! Host, you're abusing child labor!"
"Hehehe," Ming Li said, her face numb. "Child labor that's hundreds of years old? What a cold joke."
System: "......" Its heart was already dead......
In the end, the heartbroken system dragged a large pile of sacks to find its friend Da Hei for help.
......
"What? Brother Pig, are you kidding me? I'm a dog! Even though I have ten heads, I'm still a dog! You want me to help wash sacks? How am I supposed to wash them? Digging with my paws??" Looking at the pile of sacks behind the system, which was as tall as a small mountain and stained with blood, the ten-headed dog's expression turned strange, as if it were looking at a lunatic.
The system, being mistaken for a lunatic, "......" It wasn't! It wasn't! It was also forced!
Seeing the system fall silent, Da Hei twitched its nose, its eyes fixed on the pile of sacks behind the system, and asked curiously, "Such a strong smell of blood...... Where did you get these? What are they for?"
The system looked numb and told the truth, "My master uses them when beating people." After thinking for a moment, its eyes rolled maliciously, and it said, "Of course, my master likes to use them to beat dogs the most, especially black dogs like you, hehe......"
Da Hei: "......I'll help! I'll help, okay!" Damn it, don't scare it!
In the end, Da Hei and the system dragged a large pile of sacks to the river to wash them.
System: "My master said that if we don't finish washing them before dark, neither of us will get to eat."
The thoroughly manipulated, resentful Da Hei: "......" It scrubbed the sacks even more vigorously...... It didn't want to go hungry.
Ming Li, who had pulled up the system display screen to check her tasks and happened to see this scene, "......" The system is getting more and more capable......
Rolling her eyes speechlessly, Ming Li raised her hand, about to tap twice on the system display screen, when her expression suddenly changed. In the next second, the woman's figure disappeared from her spot in the blink of an eye.
Two seconds after Ming Li disappeared, a large stone suddenly smashed down at the spot where she had been standing.
Seeing this, Ming Li's expression turned cold. She raised her eyes and looked towards a certain direction with a blank expression. At this moment, on the high roof of the royal palace, a young girl with two pairs of small, light green wings had appeared at some point. The girl had a beautiful face and was currently standing on the palace roof with a clear, cold, and arrogant expression, her eyes coldly looking down at Ming Li not far away.
After the dust settled and Ming Li's extremely beautiful face became clear, a trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of the girl's eyes. After a while, she asked in a cold tone, "Where did you hide Brother Lin?! Give him back to me now!"
Hearing this, Ming Li, who almost instantly understood the girl's meaning, said expressionlessly, "Who are you?"
Girl: "......You don't recognize me?"
The girl's tone held a hint of disbelief as she looked at Ming Li quizzically, seemingly unable to understand why someone wouldn't recognize her. Hearing this, Ming Li's mouth twitched. What did she mean by that? Did she really think she was currency that everyone had to recognize?
