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

Feeling the murderous aura emanated from Situ, Yan Xiaobai pursed his lips and sneered, “Your Highness, just do it; this slave’s life was originally saved by Your Highness anyways.”

If she wanted it back, he would naturally offer it with both his arms opened wide.

“If Your Highness dislikes dirtying your hands, this slave can do the deed himself.”

You don’t have to take action personally, this pathetic life of mine is something that you don’t need to waste your time on ending.

It’s just that he was slightly worried as he was no longer going to remain by Her Highness’s side henceforth.

“After this slave’s death, Your Highness should be careful— especially towards Shi Ying, who is always next to Your Highness.”

If it weren’t for Her Highness’s urge to constantly protect the female servant, he would have killed her long ago.

For her to dare question Her Highness, he always wondered how many lives of hers could he take.

Yan Xiaobai lowered his black eyes as they dimmed and the ends of his eyebrows were arched low.

That look of grief and despair made Situ’s heart stagnate; she didn’t like seeing him like this.

He seemed to have lost everything— including the motivation to live.

Situ burst out laughing and flicked Yan Xiaobai’s head with her index finger, “What are you thinking? Your words were like parting words.”

It would be easy to tackle him since he had feelings for her.

As long as Yan Xiaobai doesn’t have hatred for the Princess, the original owner’s ending should not be too tragic. Hence, she would let him live for now.

The system wiped away its nonexistent sweat silently as it was bracing itself for a failed mission.

​[Actually, the villain is pretty nice. Host, you should let him get used to the change slowly and then, he will be able to realise his own potentials]

[Well, let’s save the life of the villain first]

Yan Xiaobai raised his eyes instantly as he was unable to believe those words, “Didn’t Your Highness want to claim the life of this slave?”

“Don’t think blindly in the future. Since this Princess saved you, you must live well.”

Situ’s brows and eyes were both soft and squeamish.

Her words were soft and light as every word pierced Yan Xiaobai’s heart.

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

Situ understood instantaneously that this villain had to be coaxed. And if she did it well enough, the blackening value of his would eventually decrease.

[If the Host directly kisses and hugs him, the blackening value will drop faster]

This was the first world after all, and the task at hand didn’t seem to be insanely difficult.

[I’ll reject that]

[Fair enough]

There was no other way around it as the Goddess of War was once an arrogant persona as well.

Raising his eyes, Yan Xiaobai confirmed repeatedly, “Your Highness wants this slave… to live well?”

Since he left the slave farm, the purpose of his life was to protect the person in front of him.

He would turn into the sharpest dagger in her hand— if God were to block her way, he would take Him on; if the Buddha tried to stop her, he would kill the Buddha for her!

But all along, she didn’t seem to need him.

Yan Xiaobai blinked lightly and his eyes were slightly red. This appearance of his made him look like a harmless young rabbit.

With his pale face in front of her, Situ really couldn’t resist.

“In the future, with this Princess covering your back, you can bully whoever tries to mess with you.”

[Forgive my remarks, the one who bullied the villain the most seems to be the original owner]

Situ, “…”

The trust that I finally built up is gone!

[Shut up and don’t speak to me if there’s nothing important]

The system silently squatted in the corner. It had no emotions, but the system could almost feel the irony of being told off despite telling the Host the truth.

On the other hand, Yan Xiaobai didn’t want to let Situ’s gentle expression go, so he clutched the quilt tightly, “With Your Highness’s words, even if this slave dies, there will be no regrets.”

If this was a dream, then he never wanted to wake up. He was only gently drowning, sinking into the depths without any form of expected resentment.

She was the only light in his dark and rotten life.

Situ didn’t like the word that concerns itself with ‘death’.

The index finger of hers that was as pale as snow was placed against Yan Xiaobai’s lips. Situ leaned forward, the smell of the herbal storax oil became more intense.

“The word ‘death’ is not allowed to be said in the future; it is a rather unlucky omen.”

Since she wanted to keep him by her side, she would never allow Yan Xiaobai to give up his life at will.

Actually, he must live a very good life!
