Chapter 72
“Erxi, why are you walking so fast? I wanted to treat you to a meal at the state-run restaurant to celebrate.”
Qiu Chi paused for a moment before indulging Xu Jiangyang's wish.
After the meal, Qiu Chi said, “Don’t follow me. I have something to do.”
“Do you need me to come with you?”
“No.”
Qiu Chi left as soon as she finished speaking. Xu Jiangyang had come to understand her personality, so even though he desperately wanted to follow, he ultimately didn't court death.
Qiu Chi went and killed the old widower who had beaten Zhou Erxi to death.
Afterward, she returned to the Zhou family home. She had originally intended to give the entire family a beating, but then she remembered she didn't hit women and ultimately gave up the idea. Instead, she placed a small formation on each of them, cursing them with a lifetime of bad luck.
As for Zhou San Fu, Qiu Chi gave him something extra.
Since the Zhou family was so patriarchal and doted on their son, she would ensure Zhou San Fu could never have children of his own.
After finishing these tasks, Qiu Chi left directly.
She didn't go to the system space; instead, she went straight to the Main System's headquarters.
The System was shocked.
But what shocked it most was that the Main System was gone, the place completely deserted.
In other words, the Main System had abandoned it and fled?!
The System was furious. The Main System had called it a capable subordinate, and now it had just abandoned it and fled.
The furious System immediately groveled before Qiu Chi: 【Boo-hoo-hoo, Host, I beg you, please spare me! I'll tell you everything I know! The Main System actually has someone backing him. The only reason he could seal your memory was because that person gave him an item. That's all I know, I've really told you everything, boo-hoo-hoo~】
The Main System had been disloyal and unjust in abandoning it, so the System felt that spilling its secrets to save its own life was nothing. After all, like master, like subordinate—it was just following its master's example.
Even though the Main System had fled, Qiu Chi still thoroughly trashed its headquarters before leaving.
Hearing the System's words, Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow. “You were quick enough to spill. So tell me, why did I have to follow the plot? What benefit did your master get out of it?”
【I'm not sure about the specifics, but making you follow the plot was the work of the person behind the Main System. I don't know who that person is. I'm just a small-time system, after all. You can understand, right?】
“So, what about the benefits your master got?”
【It's the destiny of the abuse novel's heroine. Since she didn't want to follow the plot, she offered up her destiny for someone else to act it out for her. It's truly a fair trade, there was no coercion.】
“Is there nothing else?”
The System was a little baffled: 【What else could there be?】
Qiu Chi didn't press further. After all, questioning it wouldn't yield anything more.
Perhaps by catching the person behind the Main System, she could find out the specific reason.
Qiu Chi pondered for a while. She didn't immediately go to the next world, but instead returned to the Xingyun Realm.
The System was shocked again. It really wanted to say something, but in the end, it decided to shut up.
The Xingyun Realm was no different from when she had left.
Qiu Chi went to a restaurant, ordered a huge spread of food infused with spiritual energy, and listened to the other patrons talk as she ate.
“Venerable Qiu Chi vanished without a trace, and Venerable Qing Yue has practically scoured the entire cultivation world looking for her. I never thought Venerable Qing Yue was so deeply devoted.”
Qiu Chi: “…” Her hands were itching. She really wanted to beat someone up.
“He didn't know how to cherish her when she was around. Now that she's suddenly disappeared, he's putting on this act. Pfft!”
“Bah, that's because Venerable Qiu Chi has such a violent temper. Venerable Qing Yue only took on a disciple to get a rise out of her. Who knew it would turn out this way?”
“Bullshit! What a disgusting excuse. Stay away from me.”
“Hey, come on, we were having a perfectly good chat. Let's just drop the subject, alright? By the way, have you noticed? The spiritual energy seems a little richer lately.”
“Now that you mention it, it does. I thought it was just my imagination at first…”
After listening to their new topic of conversation for a bit, Qiu Chi had the food packed up, then left the restaurant and went straight to find Qing Yue.
She was going to beat him half to death, to stop him from building some kind of "infatuated" reputation to disgust her!
