After a short while, Xie Yuyan left Ye Feng's embrace.
"Alright... it's fine..."
Only after Xie Yuyan's emotions had completely stabilized did Ye Feng finally get a chance to rest. Exhausted, he sat down on the sofa and handed the cake he was holding to Xie Yuyan.
"Here, I don’t need to guess to know you haven’t eaten. Fill your stomach."
Xie Yuyan didn’t say much, as Ye Feng had hit the nail on the head. She threw Ye Feng’s coat into the washing machine and obediently sat down beside him, taking the cake from his hand and eating it with satisfaction.
"You’re still smiling! You almost stabbed me to death earlier!"
Ye Feng glared at Xie Yuyan in annoyance. Instead of reflecting on her actions, she was now leisurely eating the cake he bought and even had the audacity to smile.
"Sorry~ I didn’t mean it~"
Xie Yuyan took small bites of the cake. Since Ye Feng had left in the morning, she hadn’t eaten a single bite, her mind completely preoccupied with him. But now that he was back, everything was fine.
"I have something important to tell you."
Just as Xie Yuyan was lost in thought while gazing at Ye Feng’s profile, he turned to her with a serious expression.
Xie Yuyan swallowed the cake in her mouth and took a sip of water from the cup on the table.
"Is it about those people from the organization?"
"How did you know? Don’t tell me you sneaked out?"
Ye Feng immediately tensed up. This was the most dangerous time, and the slightest misstep could lead to them being discovered by the assassins, who were experts in stealth and reconnaissance.
"Hey, don’t get so worked up!"
Xie Yuyan pulled Ye Feng back down as he was about to stand up, and at the same time, she placed a small cake near his lips.
"Here, have a cake."
"I... don’t... mmm..."
Ye Feng tried to refuse, but Xie Yuyan didn’t give him the chance. She suddenly shoved her index finger into his mouth, even twirling it around inside.
"Xie Yuyan, you..."
Ye Feng covered his mouth in shock, realizing he had accidentally licked her finger.
"See? If you had just eaten it earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. Now my hand’s dirty. I’m going to wash it."
Without giving Ye Feng a chance to continue, Xie Yuyan kept her eyes on her now-slippery index finger, stood up quickly, and walked into the bathroom, leaving Ye Feng sitting there with his mouth full of cake, stunned.
......
"Splash"
The sound of running water from the bathroom finally snapped Ye Feng out of his daze.
This woman... has she always been this bold? She just put her hand... sigh...
About half a minute later, Xie Yuyan walked out with a nonchalant expression.
"Ye Feng, don’t worry. I haven’t left the house today. I noticed them because I saw some suspicious people through the gap in the curtains."
"Is that so... That’s good. Do you know there are missing person posters everywhere with your face on them? Anyone who finds you gets 500,000 yuan."
"Huh? 500,000? That’s it?"
Xie Yuyan shook her freshly washed hand, but not a single drop of water remained.
"I thought I’d be worth at least three to five million."
"And now you’re proud of it."
Ye Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Just stay quiet for the next few days. Once we get through this, you’ll be safe."
"Ye Feng, why don’t you just turn me in? At least you’d get the 500,000 reward."
Xie Yuyan sat down beside Ye Feng and happily ate another small cake from the bag, secretly wondering if she should try that move again.
After all, she had thoroughly washed her fingers in the bathroom just now~
Ye Feng knew she was joking. Her relaxed demeanor made it clear she didn’t actually believe he would turn her in.
"That’s not funny at all. You seem to trust me a lot. Aren’t you afraid I’m just gaining your trust?"
With that, Ye Feng played along and smirked, putting on an evil expression.
"Oh."
Xie Yuyan simply replied with a nonchalant "oh," then picked up another small cake and held it to Ye Feng’s lips.
"Well said. Here’s a cake as a reward."
Ye Feng realized Xie Yuyan was trying to trick him into opening his mouth so she could sneak another attack.
He immediately reached out and snatched the cake from her hand.
"What happened to your killer instincts? Didn’t you think I was a spy at first?"
Seeing her plan fail, Xie Yuyan went back to eating her cake, smiling as she looked at Ye Feng’s profile. "Who cares? Whether you’re from the organization or not, as long as I can stay by your side, I’m satisfied."
[Ding]
At that moment, a familiar system sound echoed in Ye Feng’s mind. It was undoubtedly a progress reward.
"I trust you. That’s my answer."
Xie Yuyan picked up another cake and held it to Ye Feng’s lips, tilting her head and giving him a seductive look.
"Here’s another reward~"
Ever since you pulled me out of that hopeless, bottomless abyss, I haven’t been able to leave you.
Looking at Xie Yuyan’s radiant, flower-like beauty, Ye Feng was momentarily stunned.
She’s... so beautiful...
"Come on, my arm’s getting tired. Couldn’t you just humor me?"
Xie Yuyan’s words snapped Ye Feng out of his daze, and he quickly opened his mouth to eat the cake.
"Hehe, that’s more like it. Huh? Ye Feng, why is your face red?"
"I... I have a stomachache. I need to use the bathroom."
Watching Ye Feng make an excuse and flee in a panic, Xie Yuyan looked at the empty cake bag and smiled softly.
"The cake tastes so sweet. I wish I could keep eating it forever."
"Phew... phew... phew..."
Ye Feng splashed cold water on his face and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Even someone with strong self-control like him had been shaken by Xie Yuyan’s seductive demeanor earlier.
To calm himself down, Ye Feng immediately called up the system to check the task notifications.
But when he looked closely, he was surprised to find that not only had Xie Yuyan’s progress increased, but Li Mucheng’s progress had also risen slightly.
Li Mucheng’s Progress: 60%
Xie Yuyan’s Progress: 60%
Their progress was now equal! He couldn’t understand why it had increased so quickly. Xie Yuyan’s progress made sense since they were spending time together, but he hadn’t been with Li Mucheng at all.
Whatever, I’ll just claim the task rewards first.
Ye Feng pushed the progress matter aside and opened the task interface......

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork.

So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
