Chapter 862 [Splendid Heart 1]
"Welcome back, host! Now we are going to start the settlement." 103's cheerful voice sounded, a brilliant light flashed, and a string of numbers and words appeared on the screen: "Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the task, and you have obtained merit +1000 and points 100."
Youyou looked at this gratifying reward, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked impatiently: "So, what is the next task?" There was a gleam of curiosity and anticipation in her beautiful eyes.
103's voice came again: "Host, I have good news for you. Our system has been upgraded! From now on, you can draw the next task yourself." As soon as the words fell, a treasure chest emitting mysterious light suddenly appeared in front of Youyou.
Youyou widened her eyes, looking at the box that suddenly appeared in surprise, and couldn't help asking: "Wow, is there really everything in here? Can I take whatever I want?"
"Of course, host. If you reach in and grab it, you will receive your next mission," 103 explained patiently.
Youyou hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Then...if I draw a not-so-good world, such as a very dangerous or extremely difficult one, can I choose to give up and not go?"
103 was silent for a moment before replying, "I'm sorry, host. It's not possible at the moment. You have to do what mission you are given. But don't worry, each mission will have a corresponding difficulty level based on your ability and experience, so you won't be completely unable to cope with it."
Hearing this, Youyou sighed helplessly, but quickly cheered up and said, "Well, in that case, I can only try my luck." After that, she took a deep breath and carefully reached into the treasure chest full of unknowns. After some groping, she finally grabbed one of the items and quickly pulled it out.
Youyou stared at the yellow ball in her hand curiously, her heart full of doubts, and she asked softly, "What on earth is this?"
103 at the side smiled and explained: "Host, you only need to gently place this small ball in the palm of your hand, and you will know the mission contained in it."
Youyou half-believed and half-doubtedly followed 103's instructions and carefully placed the yellow ball on the palm of her hand. At that moment, she felt a strange power surge into her heart, and then a clear picture emerged in her mind.
The woman in the picture is haggard and thin, lying in bed. She is Luo Yuanniang. It turns out that she is seriously ill and knows that she will not live long. However, she is unwilling to let Xu Lingyi marry other daughters of wealthy families as his successor, fearing that they will mistreat her only son Zhun Ge. So after careful consideration, Luo Yuanniang decided to let her half-sister Luo Shiyi Niang marry into the Xu family.
However, things are not that simple. Qiao Lianfang has always had a crush on Xu Lingyi. Although Xu Lingyi has no good feelings for her, Mrs. Xu dotes on Qiao Lianfang. Luo Yuanniang knows that Qiao Lianfang has a hot temper. If she lets it go, it will probably cause a lot of trouble for Luo Shiyi Niang in the future. Therefore, just in case, Luo Yuanniang carefully planned a plan and successfully made Qiao Lianfang Xu Lingyi's concubine.
After that, Qiao Lianfang turned her love into hatred and made things difficult for Luo Shiyi Niang. But Luo Shiyi Niang was smart, witty and kind-hearted, and she could defuse the crisis skillfully every time. Over time, Qiao Lianfang's evil deeds were gradually exposed, and finally aroused the disgust and disgust of the people. In the end, Xu Lingyi could no longer bear it and ordered Qiao Lianfang to be expelled from the Xu family and sent to live in the manor for the rest of her life. From then on, Qiao Lianfang could only grow old in loneliness and regret...
103 said solemnly to Youyou: "Dear host, the difficult task assigned to you this time is to help Qiao Lianfang successfully achieve a great counterattack in life!"
Youyou blinked and asked curiously, "What specific wish does Qiao Lianfang have?"
103 paused for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Alas, it is really sad to say this. Qiao Lianfang has been desperately pursuing Xu Lingyi's love all her life, but in the end, she got nothing. So her biggest wish is to never fall in love with that ruthless Xu Lingyi again in this life. She just wants to be her true self and stay away from the intrigue and complicated life in the back house."
However, Youyou didn't seem to agree completely. She frowned slightly and continued to ask doubtfully, "Logically speaking, Qiao Lianfang has been infatuated with Xu Lingyi for her entire life. How could she choose to give up this relationship so easily? I always feel that things are not that simple."
Hearing this, 103 couldn't help but reveal a hint of appreciation, and nodded in response: "Hey, you are worthy of being our smart host, you immediately saw the key. Yes, just as you expected, Qiao Lianfang actually has another little wish hidden deep in her heart that she has never expressed." Then, 103 lowered his voice a little and added mysteriously: "That is, she still secretly hopes that Xu Lingyi can love her sincerely, even if it is only for just this once..."
"Oh? This matter is not difficult, but it is not so easy to do. Qiao Lianfang and Xu Lingyi have known each other since childhood. They can be said to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together. But even so, there is no spark of love between them. Tell me, isn't this very difficult?" Youyou shook her head gently and said slowly.
103 on the side immediately echoed, "That's right, host. Think about it, they grew up together and spent so much time together, but they still didn't fall in love with each other. From this point of view, it's hard to say whether Qiao Lianfang will succeed in fulfilling her wish. However, if there is really no way for her to marry Xu Lingyi as she wishes, then she might as well settle for the next best thing and marry someone who truly loves her. Maybe she can live a happy life this way, right?"
Youyou nodded slightly to show her agreement: "Well, you make sense. In that case, let's set off to that small world now, and I hope to intervene from the time they are young." After she finished speaking, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
“No problem, host.” 103 responded readily, then activated the teleportation device and rushed towards the small world with Youyou.
