Chapter 222

Volume 1_Chapter 222: New System Task

Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qi looked at Yun Qiyue, his eyes filled with an unclear meaning.

With a wave of his hand, he signaled for Yu Lin to step back, while a group of guards stood all around—first, to block Yun Qiyue's path, and second, to serve as a deterrent.

After about a few breaths, Xuanyuan Qi revealed a smile and looked at Yun Qiyue with a tender expression, "Qiyue, I have waited for you for a long time."

The Crown Prince was truly acting the part of a deeply affectionate man.

However, Yun Qiyue disliked seeing this face of the Crown Prince the most.

Clearly heartless and clearly harboring ill intentions, yet he insisted on pretending to be affectionate, acting as if he couldn't live without her while maintaining a gentle and elegant appearance; it truly made her feel both awkward and uncomfortable to watch.

It was an eyesore.

Therefore, the moment Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qi spoke, Yun Qiyue said directly, "Crown Prince, if you have something to say, say it. You aren't tired of acting, but I am tired of watching."

Xuanyuan Qi's expression stiffened.

Perhaps he hadn't expected that even at this point, Yun Qiyue would still dare to show him such a lack of respect.

His expression darkened slightly, and Xuanyuan Qi simply stopped pretending, staring at Yun Qiyue with a gloomy face, "Today, I will give you one last choice."

Yun Qiyue looked at Xuanyuan Qi, appearing to have not a shred of a sense of crisis, "Tell me."

As for whether she would choose or not, the power of decision was in her hands.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Qi thought this was Yun Qiyue's compromise, so his expression softened a bit, "Be my woman, and I will ensure your glory."

Although she had guessed the purpose of Xuanyuan Qi seeking her out.

She just couldn't figure out why this Xuanyuan Qi was so persistent in making her his woman?

If he had known it would come to this, what was he doing before?

There must be something fishy about this.

Yun Qiyue was suspicious in her heart, but her face remained calm as she said, "Sorry, not interested."

Glory? Can't she earn it herself? Does she need him to give it to her?

Become his woman? Just how excellent does he think he is, or how thick is his face?

Could it be that having no self-awareness is the trend these days?

Xuanyuan Qi was rejected, but he didn't get angry like the previous two times; he just asked one final question, "Yun Qiyue, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

Yun Qiyue: "Regardless of the drink, you have to be able to make me eat it first."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Qi knew that there would be no results from negotiating with Yun Qiyue, so his expression tightened, "Someone, for me..."

"Crown Prince, wait a moment." Just as Xuanyuan Qi was about to speak, Yun Qiyue suddenly called for a stop, "Let me consider it again."

As she said this, Yun Qiyue added, "Don't worry, not for long, just a moment."

Saying this, she lowered her head as if in deep thought.

Seeing Yun Qiyue like this, Xuanyuan Qi thought she was scared, so he raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to act rashly yet.

In his view, having Yun Qiyue do it voluntarily would save much more trouble.

As for her playing any tricks, he dared her not to.

After all, if that were really the case, Yun Qiyue wouldn't have called for a stop at this moment.

And Yun Qiyue, was she really afraid?

Not at all.

The reason Yun Qiyue called for a stop was because the system had suddenly issued a task again.

She didn't know when it started, but the system hadn't been issuing many tasks.

However, the content of this task still left Yun Qiyue speechless.

System: "Host, a new task is now issued. The host needs to take down the Crown Prince and punish him, without harming him."

Look at that, what kind of hellish task is this?

No harm, yet take him down and punish him?

"Not doing it."

Before the system could even finish speaking, Yun Qiyue refused directly.

She suspected that this system's magnetic field was incompatible with hers; otherwise, why would it always issue such pit-the-host... ah no, to be precise, pit-the-system tasks.

Anyway, she had the Imperial Uncle to do this and that with every day now; she didn't care about the system's points.

The system was silent for about a breath, then continued with the task content, "The task reward is: upon completion, the host can freely command one type of medicine."

Freely?

Does this mean that for future medicines, she wouldn't need to ask about the price and could just freely command one?

This, she seemed a bit tempted.

However, Yun Qiyue was puzzled, "Why isn't it points anymore?"

As soon as these words were out, Yun Qiyue felt the system's silence last even longer.

She didn't know if it was because this question was too hard to answer or for some other reason.

After a long time, the system used its mechanical voice to say, "An arrangement from the Main Brain."

Actually, the Main Brain was also very helpless.

Who told the host that after her relationship with the task target got better and better, she didn't care about points anymore, leading the host to feel slack about doing tasks.

But the Main Brain's assessment of the system's tasks was to issue and complete them; only in this way would it not just be a system...

If the system had a form, it would definitely be looking helpless right now.

And Yun Qiyue was puzzled; it's a system, yet it's controlled by a Main Brain?

But thinking about it, it seemed to make sense; otherwise, why would it be called a system?

Just at this moment, the system simply stated the latest instruction from the Main Brain, "Host, according to the instructions transmitted by the Main Brain's data, as long as the host completes ten more tasks, you will be rewarded with a New Century Pharmacy equipped with equipment."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue's eyes widened instantly.

A New Century Pharmacy?

That is a super cheat code.

Once she has the pharmacy of the century, she can complete the Imperial Uncle's tasks, obtain a medical assistant, then take off the Imperial Uncle's mask, get the modern operating room... after that, wouldn't she be able to walk sideways in this era?

Domineering!

"System, you are simply my lucky star."

Whatever comments about it being hellish, she had forgotten them now.

Hellish? That doesn't exist. She never said that.

With enough attraction, Yun Qiyue was full of yearning for doing tasks.

Therefore, for the task issued by the system right now, Yun Qiyue naturally had no reason to refuse.

It was just, how could she take down the Crown Prince and punish him without harming him?

Yun Qiyue's consciousness returned, and when she raised her head to look at Crown Prince Xuanyuan Qi, her eyes held a bit of contemplation.

Yun Qiyue's gaze made Xuanyuan Qi feel a chill in his heart.

"Yun Qiyue, have you finally decided? My patience is limited."

In fact, the time Yun Qiyue spent communicating with the system was not long.

It might have been a long time inside the system, but in reality, it was only a few breaths of time.

But who told Yun Qiyue's gaze to be so uncomfortable and inexplicably panic-inducing for Xuanyuan Qi?

Yun Qiyue looked at Xuanyuan Qi, her lips curling slightly, and her face, wearing a half-mask, was instantly full of charm.

"Naturally, I have decided." Yun Qiyue said as she moved closer to Xuanyuan Qi.

Xuanyuan Qi was very nervous.

Those guards were also very nervous.

Xuanyuan Qi wanted to call for a stop.

Those guards also really wanted to step forward and stop Yun Qiyue.

But because none of them knew what Yun Qiyue wanted to do next, no one moved for a moment.

And just at this moment, as Yun Qiyue got closer and closer to Xuanyuan Qi, she stopped.

Everyone, at this moment, looked at Yun Qiyue.

The scene, just like that, inexplicably quieted down along with Yun Qiyue.

It seemed that everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
