"Ahhhhh!"
A man's agonized scream echoed through the basement. Looking around, he was tied to a post, his body covered in dried blood.
Several men stood leisurely beside him, one of them holding a red-hot iron rod that was smoking, speaking calmly, "Still not going to talk?"
The tied man hung his head dejectedly, speaking in a weak voice, "I've already told you everything I know. Please, let me go."
"Seems like you still don't know how to repent."
The torturer sneered, slowly approaching the prisoner with the iron rod.
"I really don't know... that fox-like man was the first time we've seen him. I really don't know who he is."
"And you don't know your employer either?"
The torturer held the iron rod in front of the prisoner's eyes, the scorching heat making the prisoner tremble all over.
"Our boss is the one who contacts the employer. We're just told what to do. The boss only said to take the Li Family's daughter as a hostage. That's all."
"Sss..."
"Ahhhhh!"
......
"Zzz..."
Watching the sizzling grilled meat, Ye Feng fell into deep thought. He couldn't figure out what he had done today to accidentally step on Li Mucheng's toes. It seemed he had messed up the mission this time. If the mission failed, he would be erased.
"Sigh."
Ye Feng bit into the grilled meat while thinking of a solution. But just as he was idly checking the system, he was stunned by the data in front of him.
"What!"
Ye Feng jumped up excitedly, still holding a fragrant skewer.
The surrounding diners all looked at Ye Feng curiously. Realizing this, Ye Feng quickly took another bite of the skewer, mumbling, "So good! It's really too delicious!"
"......"
The air suddenly fell silent. In the end, Ye Feng decided to take the food to go and eat at home.
......
"Miss? You haven't eaten all night. Please, just have a bite."
Ah Fu's knocking echoed outside Li Mucheng's door, but the response was silence.
"Miss, did something happen today? Why not tell me, Ah Fu, maybe I can help you."
......
Seeing that Li Mucheng still didn't respond, Ah Fu had a pretty good idea of what was going on. So, pretending to be angry, he slammed the wall hard.
"I know! Miss, did that Ye Feng do something to you today? I always knew he had ulterior motives. I'll send someone to..."
"Click"
At this point, Li Mucheng's door suddenly opened. Red-eyed, Li Mucheng glared at him.
"Send someone to do what? Are you going to break the law?"
"Hehe, Miss, that's not what I meant."
Seeing Li Mucheng come out, Ah Fu finally felt relieved and softened his attitude.
It seems that Ye Feng must have angered the Miss. This is the first time since I've been her bodyguard that I've seen her so concerned about someone.
"You're not allowed to do anything without my permission, understand? Otherwise, I'll tell Father."
"Yes, Miss."
"Don't bother me anymore. I don't feel like eating today."
"Yes."
Watching Li Mucheng walk back into her room looking dejected, Ah Fu couldn't help but take out his phone. The one who caused the trouble should be the one to fix it.
Li Mucheng closed the door and staggered towards her bed. In the darkness, through the moonlight from the window, one could vaguely see a notebook beside her pillow, its cover wet.
"I'm sorry... Teacher... I'm sorry..."
Li Mucheng curled up into a ball, her hands cold, her mind filled with regret about her argument with Ye Feng this afternoon. After hearing Ye Feng say he had no interest in her, she felt like she had been abandoned, a surge of anger rising from within.
Not only did she feel an urge to keep Ye Feng by her side, but she also felt a sense of deception. Only after calming down did she realize her emotions had gotten out of hand. When she wanted to apologize to Ye Feng, he had already left the villa...
"Teacher... don't go, okay... I'm sorry... Come back, okay..."
Li Mucheng didn't even realize when she had developed feelings for this teacher who had been by her side.
......
"Buzz buzz"
Just as Ye Feng got home with the packed skewers and was about to check the system, his phone rang. After answering, a familiar voice came through.
"Ye Feng, can you explain what happened between you and Miss today?"
"Ah Fu? Why are you asking all of a sudden?"
"Miss hasn't eaten all night. Ever since she said goodbye to you, she's been locked in her room. No matter how I ask, she won't say. What exactly happened?"
"Miss fired me. That's all."
"Why?"
"I don't know. She suddenly said she didn't need me to come to work anymore. It was all very confusing."
"Oh, Miss was just saying things in the heat of the moment. Just now, I saw Miss, and she looked very sad."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"You're her teacher."
"Not anymore."
"Oh, Ye Feng, please, I'm begging you. Come back tomorrow to teach Miss. Miss was just saying things in the heat of the moment. Don't take it to heart."
"Sigh... Alright, but I have to say this beforehand. If something like this happens again, I won't come back. I don't want people thinking I did something terrible."
"Alright, then it's still the usual time tomorrow. See you then."
"Mhm."
......
After hanging up, Ye Feng couldn't wait to check the system. Sure enough, he saw that his mission had new progress. Upon closer inspection, he found that Li Mucheng's progress had jumped from 30% to 50%.
What... what's going on? How did it increase so much? I didn't interact with Li Mucheng for long today, did I?
Although Ye Feng was puzzled, he still claimed the reward the system issued.
Congratulations, the host has received a 30-day life reward and acquired the medical (low) skill.
[Medical Staff (Low): Possesses basic skills in medical treatment, such as wound care, or the ability to check if a person is ill]
"Well, this is treating me like a doctor? This reward is so useless, I don't think I'll ever use it."
Although Ye Feng wasn't satisfied with the system's reward this time, the extra thirty days were a solid bonus.
He was one step closer to a happy life.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
