CH 4

When the original owner was instigated by others, she often beat and scolded Yan Xiaobai at every turn, resulting in her projecting her anger on him.

Yet, when he knelt outside the palace gates in a blizzard, if it weren’t for the Princess’s interference back then, his legs could have been permanently damaged.

[There’s a heroine in this world?]

That isn’t good news, Situ thought as she frowned slightly.

However, when Xiaobai saw her expression, he was disgusted to the extreme.

Look, Her Highness still hates me. It was probably just a whim of hers to save him this time, just like the whim she had when she saved him from the slave farm back then.

Yan Xiaobai’s expression was gloomy as he sulked in his heart. It was an emotion that was difficult to discard.

[Beep! The villain’s blackening value has increased by 5 points]

Situ was dumbfounded— did she do anything?

[Oh Host, there is nothing in the world that can’t be solved by a good kiss or a hug. 

[If it doesn’t work, try giving him two; if that’s still ineffective, then try three!]

Situ, “He dared to love the saviour that brought him home and showed him warmth?”

System, “Is it not that way?”

It seems that the Host does not know enough about the content of her quest.

[Beep! The villain’s blackening value has increased by 5 points]

Looking at the rising blackening value, the veins on Situ’s temple were bulging.

Gee, even a Divine Sword doesn’t go that fast.

Her warm palm stroked the top of the boy’s hair and Situ’s voice was gentle, “Xiaobai, don’t keep anything in your heart; say it.”

But really, what is going on in his heart? It blackens no matter what I do, how problematic of him!

I really wish I could beat him up.

Touching the top of his hair, Situ looked sultry, “I was wrong before. I listened to the lies spewed by the stupid woman, so I’m taking this opportunity to apologise to you for everything that I have done.”

Well, his hair is quite comfortable to the touch.

Involuntarily, Situ took the opportunity to pat his head a few more times.

[She even said that she wanted to beat him up? I guess appearances matter the most to her, hmph! What a Goddess of War]

Feeling the warmth of her touch, Yan Xiaobai raised his wet eyes and gave her a dumbfounded stare.

Her Highness was apologising to him. She, who bore a noble status, was actually apologising to him.

This felt so unreal to him; was he dreaming?

But the pain on his back tore at his nerves, as if they were reminding him that this was indeed reality!

Her Highness was really touching the top of his hair gently. She was very different from the arrogant and aggressive persona before.

He feared that this was all a dream. If time could stop, he wanted his life to stay in this moment forever.

Her gentleness was enough to make him lose his mind as he indulged in it dangerously. Yet, he could not extricate himself from the warm grasp of hers.

He didn’t know when this all started. He wasn’t aware of the exact moment where his coveted eyes wrapped around the Princess only, affecting all of his emotions.

Therefore, even if he was beaten, scolded and humiliated, he was going to always follow her to the ends of Earth.

Looking at Yan Xiaobai’s eyes that were full of emotions, Situ’s heart skipped a beat.

Tsk, that look didn’t seem like a look that would be given from a slave to a master.

[Beep! The villain’s blackening value drops by 5 points]

[I feel like this villain kind of treats the original owner somewhat differently]

System, “Congratulations, you have found a weak point of the villain.”

The system was gratified that the situation didn’t seem to be entirely hopeless.

Ever since the original owner rescued Yan Xiaobai from the slave farm, this love of his had always been buried deep in his heart.

[Since he loved her, why would Yan Xiaobai not care about putting her through misery?]

Letting his lover wander and die in the wilderness did not seem like love to her.

[It probably evolved from love to hatred over time]

The system sighed. It couldn’t make sense of the emotion of love in this world as a mere system, so it could only pin its hopes on the Host before it and hope that she would be able to figure this out.

[Since it was love, how could there be hatred? A love-hate relationship? Were mortal feelings so complicated?]

The system was speechless as it ‘felt’ its hope fleeting.

But the system didn’t blame Situ. As the Goddess of War in the Realm of The Gods, she naturally didn’t have the time to experience the love, hatred, and madness that the world had to offer.

Yan Xiaobai’s gaze was too intense, making Situ’s movements falter for a moment.

Okay, maybe I should kill him— emotions are too much of a complex thing to understand.
