Chapter 184: The Grand Finale

Time passed in a flash.

Today is the day Luo Xixi turns 21, and the Luo Family has prepared a grand birthday banquet for her.

Early in the morning.

Bai Fengxia was smiling as she pulled Luo Xixi along to try on dresses for today's banquet.

"This one looks good, hmm, this one is also good. Xixi, which one do you like?"

Luo Xixi was practically being turned into a dress-up doll by Bai Fengxia; she said with a wry smile, "Mom, I think they all look quite good. Just help me pick one!"

"Hehe, alright. Then how about this red one? I think it's bright and moving, it really suits you."

"Fine! Then this one!"

Seeing that she could finally be liberated, Luo Xixi nodded and agreed immediately.

As a result, before she could even plan to catch her breath, the owner of a shoe store arrived with a smile, bringing a pile of shoes and saying, "Madam, the new styles have arrived. Would you like to let the young lady try them on?"

"Sure. Xixi, let's try on some shoes!"

Luo Xixi: "!!!"

Heavens!

Is it not over yet?

Someone come and save her!!

A savior arrived just as they were mentioned.

A gentle voice sounded, "Mom, that's enough. Today is Xixi's birthday, not her wedding day. There's no need to be so elaborate; Xixi can barely take it anymore."

Luo Xixi looked back and was overjoyed, "Big Brother! You finished your company work and came back?"

"Mm."

Luo Xichuan said with a smile, "I arranged everything early and rushed back. Xixi, happy birthday."

"Hehe, thank you, Big Brother."

Luo Xixi said with a grin.

Several months have passed since the chaos at the System Headquarters.

At the time, Freya had already intended to stop, but who would have thought that her operating Shouxu had been tampered with? It had actually started gathering energy spontaneously, intending to drag Mijia and Yehruohua into a self-destruction.

At the critical moment, it was Luo Xixi who desperately called out to Freya, telling its consciousness not to be devoured—that this was its own body, so how could it let some small Shouxu take over its autonomy?

Perhaps these words had an effect; Freya, who had been on the verge of being devoured by the maddened Shouxu, struggled to seize the lead of the body and successfully regained control, which avoided a situation where both sides would have suffered.

After everything settled, other Chief Systems who had been alarmed by this disturbance arrived just in time. Because the three Chief Systems—Freya, Mijia, and Yehruohua—were all involved in serious violations, they all faced punishment.

As for Luo Xixi and Yan Yu, because they were Transmigrators, they were expelled by the System Headquarters back to the original Book World. Perhaps the Headquarters had undergone new changes.

One week after Luo Xixi and Yan Yu returned to the original world, Big Brother Luo Xichuan regained his Self-Awareness.

Because no system appeared again, Luo Xixi and Yan Yu also planned to use their identities in this world to live well.

Then, time arrived at the day of her birthday.

"I'm telling you, Teacher Suna, you can come, but why did you hit my car? Are you some competitive elementary school student who has to be one step ahead of me?"

"Teacher Luo, you are so annoying. I already said I didn't do it on purpose. Is it okay if I pay you ten times the repair cost? Can you stop pestering me? As a man, you're really super lame!"

"What did you say?!"

"Xixi! Happy birthday!"

Before Luo Xinian could say anything else, Suna walked through the Luo Family's door, saw Luo Xixi, and happily ran over to hug her and offer her congratulations.

"Sister Na, you're here!"

Seeing her good friend Suna, Luo Xixi was also incredibly happy.

"Yes! As soon as the filming wrapped, I came over. For you, I even pushed aside the wrap-up banquet. Am I good to you or what?"

"Mm-hmm, Sister Na is so good to me! (⊙v⊙)"

"Don't start with that."

At this moment.

Luo Xinian walked over and exposed Suna, saying, "You just didn't want to be pestered and pursued by that second male lead, which is why you pushed aside the wrap-up banquet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Suna's mouth twitched, and she said with a forced smile, "Although that factor accounts for one ten-thousandth, Teacher Luo, you really know how to tear down a stage!"

"Hehe, I learned it all from Teacher Suna. We're even~"

Because of a twist of fate, these two people served as the leads in the same drama, though it seems their relationship hasn't improved much.

"Xixi, happy birthday."

At this moment.

A handsome man still wearing a scholar-like white lab coat walked through the front door, looking travel-worn. It was Luo Xixi's second brother, Luo Xizhou.

After everything settled, he had continued his research journey.

A person who usually couldn't be reached by phone had traveled a long distance to rush back for his younger sister's birthday.

"Thank you, Second Brother!"

Seeing Luo Xizhou's disheveled appearance, Luo Xixi was very moved.

Their mother, Bai Fengxia, saw her unkempt second son and said with a wry smile, "I can tell you rushed back specifically for this, but you can't be seen in this state. Hurry upstairs to wash up and change your clothes; I'll have someone bring you some."

"Alright, Mom."

Luo Xizhou smiled and said to Luo Xixi, "Xixi, we'll see each other in a bit."

"Mm!"

Luo Xixi nodded and said to her second brother with a smile, "Second Brother, hurry and go wash up!"

"Okay."

"By the way, Xixi, why hasn't Yan Yu arrived yet? Does he not know today is your birthday?" their father, Luo Zhennian, walked over and asked curiously.

Luo Xixi gloated, "He was dragged away by his manager. Didn't he keep going on strike before? He has to make a comeback later, and suddenly so many things piled up. His manager was wailing and howling, so he reluctantly found an advertisement to shoot. He just sent a message saying he'll come after he finishes shooting the ad."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

【Hee hee~】

Just at this moment.

A voice suddenly sounded in Luo Xixi's mind. Hearing this familiar tone, Luo Xixi was shocked by the sound.

This voice is...

【Tong'er!!!】

【Host, I'm back!!】

The little milky voice exclusive to her Tong'er rang out, and Luo Xixi was simply excited to death.

Ever since the chaos at the System Headquarters, they had no idea what the situation at Headquarters was anymore, only knowing that because the three Chief Systems had all committed serious violations, they had to face punishment.

Although Luo Xixi felt that her Tong'er was clearly a victim and the ones who truly deserved punishment were Mijia and Yehruohua, Yan Yu said they were merely Transmigrators and had no say at all.

Although Luo Xixi was indignant, she could only let it go.

At the time, Luo Xixi had even been depressed for nearly a month, thinking that it would be impossible for her to see Tong'er again in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly.

It actually returned on her birthday!

For Luo Xixi, this was the best birthday gift.

【Tong'er! Ah, no, wait, should I be calling you Freya now? I never expected to see you again! You won't leave again, will you?!】

Luo Xixi asked excitedly.

Baby System said with a giggle: 【Host, I still prefer you calling me Tong'er. As for the name Freya, it can be considered my name from a past life; it doesn't matter whether you call me that or not. Besides, I will accompany you to finish this world completely. If you want to go visit other Book Worlds later, I'll accompany you then.】

【Okay!】

Luo Xixi agreed immediately, then asked: 【So, has your punishment ended?】

【Hmm... I suppose so.】

Later, Baby System told Luo Xixi what happened after they left the System Headquarters.

Because it caused a huge disturbance, it, along with Mijia and Yehruohua, all went before the System Court, which was the highest-level court, the place specifically for dealing with Advanced Systems.

Chief System Yehruohua, in collusion with Chief System Mijia, had deliberately plotted to harm Chief System Freya, and had also violated rules by using cheats, forcibly interfering with the Book World, and granting Transmigrators powerful skills, so they were directly stripped of their Chief titles and demoted to the lowest-level systems.

As for Mijia, who was originally a puppet system created by Yehruohua, it could not resist Yehruohua's orders, which led to the grave mistake of harming Chief System Freya. However, because it had a heart of repentance and actively made amends, it was able to atone for its crimes, but because it had also forcibly interfered with the Book World and granted Transmigrators powerful skills, it was demoted to a Secondary System.

Freya, as a complete victim, originally should not have been punished.

But because it did not want to follow the Shouxu and intended to directly destroy the two Chief Systems, which also counted as a violation, it was also punished and demoted to a Secondary System.

Therefore.

Currently, the System Headquarters had lost three Chief Systems in one fell swoop.

After hearing this, Luo Xixi highly suspected that this was a conspiracy by another faction wanting to get rid of the Chief Systems to gain more benefits.

However, thinking that Tong'er was fine and could continue to stay by her side, Luo Xixi didn't want to dig any deeper.

Anyway.

As long as Tong'er is still alive, that's enough. Whether it's a Chief, a Secondary, or even a Newborn System, it is the best system in the world to her!

Soon.

Luo Xixi's birthday banquet began.

Many of the Luo Family's friends and relatives came forward to congratulate Luo Xixi. This was the first time Luo Xixi had seen so many people; this turnout was much bigger than the previous Recognition Banquet!

Luo Xixi was exhausted from responding while feeling annoyed inside.

That damn bastard Yan Yu.

Didn't he say he would be back before the banquet started?

Where is he??

【Ding——】

Just at this moment.

Baby System came online and told Luo Xixi: 【Host, Yan Yu's call is about to come through.】

The very next second.

Yan Yu's call came through.

"Hello!"

Luo Xixi said crossly, "You still know how to call!"

"Xixi, are you tired from being the star of the banquet?"

Yan Yu asked with a smile.

"What do you think??"

"Shall we sneak away?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xixi started to feel tempted.

Yan Yu continued, "I'm right at the entrance; come out and we'll run away."

"Miss Xixi, I am..."

"Hello Xixi, I am your..."

"Xixi..."

"Xixi..."

Seeing the guests constantly crowding around again, the string in Luo Xixi's brain snapped, and she made a prompt decision, "Wait for me, I'll be there right away!"

As soon as the words fell.

Luo Xixi ran out toward the main gate.

Once this action was taken, the Luo Family and the guests were greatly alarmed.

"Xixi, where are you going?"

"Luo Xixi, today is your birthday, where are you running off to?!"

While running, Luo Xixi smiled and waved at her family, saying, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I'll leave the banquet matters to you all!"

Having said that.

She ran off again like a gust of wind.

After running out of the courtyard gate, Luo Xixi saw an extremely flashy car parked on the street not far away, and a youth with an extremely handsome appearance saw her and waved at her with a smile under the gilded, fragmented sunlight.

Seeing this scene.

Luo Xixi felt as if things were about to overflow from her heart.

She knew that she was very happy right now.

And from now on.

She would be even happier.
