Chapter 8 successfully triggered a side quest, punishing the wicked woman.
"Waaah... Why is my life so miserable? I thought I could enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life for the rest of my days, but now I can't even get enough to eat and I've been exiled. Ouch! My feet hurt so much!"
The howling voice came from Madam Lin, who pointed at Mu Jian's wife, Feng Xia, and shouted, "It's all your niece-in-law's fault! She brought misfortune to her mother first, and now she's bringing misfortune to us! She's a real jinx!"
Lin's son looked nervous upon hearing this. Although the emperor had exiled the crown prince, she was still the emperor's daughter-in-law. His mother-in-law was really courting death.
"Slap! Shut up!"
After Gu Liuli's mother disappeared, everyone assumed that she had been cursed to death by Gu Liuli, which is why she had a reputation for bringing bad luck to people.
Gu Liuli, who was in a hurry to use the restroom, happened to walk to the closed door from which the sounds of arguing could be faintly heard. Just as she was about to leave quickly...
A sudden burst of noise, like a flood bursting its banks, rushed in and instantly filled her ears.
Driven by curiosity, Gu Liuli stopped involuntarily, listening intently to the sounds inside the house, wanting to find out what had happened.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice, devoid of any emotion, boomed in her ears like a thunderclap: "Ding! Congratulations on successfully triggering the side quest—Punish the Wicked Woman."
He then continued, "The specific requirements for this mission are as follows: You need to find a way to make the Mu family's collateral relatives and Feng Xia, those two arrogant and domineering people, look foolish in front of everyone, and force them to sincerely apologize to the victim in person."
"Upon completion of this mission, you will receive an NK machine gun! However, if you fail the mission, you will face a severe punishment: the random loss of a vital bodily function."
Hearing this, Gu Liuli frowned. "So far, the system only has one function? If it's not completed, what's the difference between it and having none at all? What a stingy system!"
She took a deep breath, straightened up for survival, and walked towards the house. As she got closer to the source of the sound, the scene inside gradually became clearer.
The wife of the Vice Minister, who was usually pampered and arrogant, was now standing with her hands on her hips and pointing at the hunched old woman in front of her.
He spewed out all sorts of vicious and vile words, the vulgarity and malice of which were simply astonishing.
Standing to the side, Feng Xia not only showed no intention of dissuading them, but also occasionally chimed in with her own words, adding fuel to the fire and making the situation increasingly out of control.
When they saw Gu Liuli arrive, they all fell silent, remembering the scene of Mu Xue being beaten.
Gu Liuli's fierce gaze, like two beams of cold light, shot straight at them. Wang Zhi, like a frightened turtle, hid behind Lin Shi Lang Wang Guangrong, cowering in fear.
Even in his prison uniform, Wang Guangrong exuded an aura of righteous indignation. He was quite handsome, with striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high, straight nose.
Unfortunately, the wife he married turned out to be a person who couldn't understand reason.
Wang Guangrong, looking ashamed, bowed to Gu Liuli and said, "Miss Gu, I am truly sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my wife."
At that moment, the figure in the wheelchair slowly approached; it was Xiao Jingchuan.
Although he is now dressed in prison clothes, his outstanding appearance still attracts attention.
He had a face like jade, with exquisitely beautiful features, making him an unparalleled beauty. However, the aura he exuded was extremely cold, as if it could freeze the surrounding air.
Xiao Jingchuan's tone was even colder, like frost descending: "Even if I, the Crown Prince, have been deposed, I will never allow you people to bully my people! Who gave you the audacity!"
Gu Liuli was still reeling from Xiao Jingchuan's sudden act of protection and had not yet come to her senses.
Suddenly, a chilling, bone-chilling mechanical voice boomed in her ears again without warning: "Host, please complete the mission in time! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" This sudden sound made her tremble.
"Tongtong, do you have any diarrhea powder?"
"Host, that kind of thing is too low-class! This system would never stoop to providing such low-grade junk! I have a much more advanced and powerful treasure here—the Stinky Egg! How about it, do you want to exchange for it?" The system's slightly teasing voice echoed in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Gu Liuli cursed inwardly, thinking to herself that this damn system was indeed up to no good.
But given the urgency of the situation, she could only suppress her anger and patiently continue asking, "How many points do I need to redeem this so-called stinky brat?"
"Host, it is divided into different levels," the system said, and a large screen appeared in Gu Liuli's mind, with one star and two stars on it.
The system explained to Gu Liuli, "Host, because your level is relatively weak, you can only see the corresponding information at this stage."
One star means that it can be used on only one person to earn 30 points, while two stars mean that it can be used on three or four people!
The redemption points are forty! We recommend you use forty points! You'll be surprised by the results!
Gu Liuli didn't want to waste too much time here, so she reluctantly exchanged four stinky farts with the system, which instantly sprinkled colorless and odorless farts on the group.
As Xiao Jingchuan and Gu Liuli left, Feng Xia and the others felt a series of "pops!" sounds from their stomachs, and the whole room reeked of a foul stench.
"I have to get going! I'm leaving this to you." Gu Liuli encouraged herself inwardly, then tidied herself up and headed towards the mountaintop.
Throughout the journey, she quickened her pace, silently praying that she could find the arsenic safely.
As the altitude gradually increased, the surrounding air became increasingly fresh, but also thinner. Gu Liuli felt a little tired, but had no intention of stopping.
She knew that this mission was not only about her craving for delicious food, but also about improving her skills so that she could face unknown challenges more easily in the future.
Finally, as night fell, she reached the mountaintop.
The moonlight spilled onto the earth, as soft and serene as a silver veil.
In this tranquility, she discovered a vibrant little flower, blooming like a flame—it was the arsenic!
"Great!" Gu Liuli excitedly ran forward and carefully picked a few of the fullest and most brightly colored flowers.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and she vaguely heard a rustling sound behind her, which made her tense up.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was all the more noticeable in the quiet night, and a chill ran down her spine.
She quickly used her mind to store the arsenic into her spatial storage, but didn't notice any changes in the space. Instead, she quietly and nimbly climbed up the tree trunk.
"Ding! Mission complete! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward. The reward has been sent to your space. Please retrieve it yourself!"
