Chapter 83
【W-w-what world would you like to go to?】
The System, much like the hooligans from the last world, couldn't help but tremble in fear upon seeing Qiu Chi.
Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow. "I have a choice? Show me the options."
The System promptly complied.
There were only three options to choose from.
One was an ancient martial arts world.
One was a modern world.
And one was a Republic Era world.
Qiu Chi ultimately decided to choose the ancient martial arts world.
She felt that the Republic Era wasn't quite her style; the ancient martial arts world was a better fit.
This time, Qiu Chi reviewed the plot before entering the world.
The plot was rather clichéd: the male lead mistakenly believed his family had been killed by the female lead's family, so he got close to her under false pretenses to avenge them.
In the end, he succeeded in his revenge but also fell in love with the female lead. However, because of his family's tragic deaths, he felt he shouldn't love her, yet he truly couldn't let her go.
He could only lock the female lead up and abuse her in various ways.
The female lead wanted to escape and avenge her family, but she could neither get away nor exact revenge, so she chose to die.
After her death, the male lead discovered he had avenged himself on the wrong people, and was overcome with heart-wrenching, unbearable grief.
Qiu Chi: "If he's in so much pain, why doesn't he just die?"
The System was as quiet as a mouse.
Qiu Chi still chose to have her memories sealed.
She arrived at a coincidental time—just as Lou Yu had locked the heroine up and was in the middle of abusing her.
Faced with the incoming whip, Qiu Chi dodged it without batting an eye. Then, under Lou Yu's incredulous gaze, she picked up the whip and lashed out at him.
The whip struck him directly across the face. Although Qiu Chi's strike seemed light and effortless, a deep, bloody gash immediately appeared on his cheek.
He didn't even need to touch it to know it would leave a scar, though Lou Yu wasn't particularly concerned about scarring.
But the speed with which Qiu Chi had snatched the whip from his hand, and his inability to dodge her strike—that, he cared about a great deal. "Shangguan Yue, so you know martial arts. Does that mean you were pretending all along? You were lying to me!"
Though Lou Yu's voice was ice-cold, his gaze toward Qiu Chi was tinged with disappointment.
Qiu Chi thought he must have something wrong with his brain.
He had killed Shangguan Yue's entire family, and this was what he was concerned about?
Qiu Chi ignored him and continued to crack the whip.
Lou Yu tried to dodge, but the whip in Qiu Chi's hand seemed to have a life of its own. No matter how he moved, it would invariably find its mark on his body.
Before long, Lou Yu's body was covered in bloody welts, yet Qiu Chi showed no intention of holding back.
While dodging futilely, Lou Yu said, "If you're so powerful, then just kill me and avenge your family. There's no need to humiliate me like this."
Qiu Chi didn't stop whipping him, but she raised an eyebrow slightly and finally spoke. "Isn't that a bit of a double standard? When you were hitting me with the whip earlier, why didn't you think you were humiliating me?"
"I'm merely giving you a taste of your own medicine."
Recalling his earlier actions, Lou Yu knew he was in the wrong. He fell silent and started looking for a way to escape.
But with the whip in Qiu Chi's hand, it was as if she had anticipated his every escape route. The moment he moved, the whip would follow close behind.
After a few more futile attempts, Lou Yu decided to simply charge toward the whip, hoping to use the force of the blow to break through the door.
Although Lou Yu's plan succeeded, Qiu Chi followed him with light, quick steps.
Every so often, she would flick the whip, striking Lou Yu. It was just like walking a dog.
Thanks to his desire to lock Shangguan Yue away, there wasn't another soul in sight.
Lou Yu ran for a short distance but couldn't shake Qiu Chi.
Once he realized Qiu Chi was toying with him, his cold, indifferent expression finally began to crumble.
"Shangguan Yue, if you're going to kill me or cut me to pieces, can you just get it over with? What's the point of this constant humiliation?"
Qiu Chi's tone was leisurely. "Can't I enjoy watching you make a fool of yourself? Who told you to be so useless?"
Seeing that he couldn't shake Qiu Chi, Lou Yu simply stopped in his tracks. Ignoring the pain from each lash of the whip, he stared at her with a burning intensity, his eyes filled with an obvious, probing look.
Qiu Chi calmly let him stare, but she didn't stop the whip.
By now, Lou Yu was a bloody mess, a gruesome sight from head to toe.
Just as Qiu Chi was wondering whether she should ruin his still-passable face, Lou Yu spoke. "You're not Shangguan Yue. Shangguan Yue is a coward. I, the enemy who killed her entire family, stood right before her, and she didn't dare to lift a finger. How could she possibly be like you?"
Qiu Chi raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
She was listening, but that didn't mean the whip would stop.
Lou Yu had a high tolerance for pain; he didn't make a sound as the whip struck his body.
He continued, "Shangguan Yue doesn't know any martial arts, nor does she have the ability to hide her true self and deceive others. All she knows is how to cry."
"Even when I killed her whole family, all she did was cry. She's so kind, yet so weak. So weak she doesn't even have the courage to kill herself."
"So, you're not Shangguan Yue at all. Who are you? And where is Shangguan Yue?"
Qiu Chi finally stopped whipping him.
She flexed her wrist and looked at Lou Yu, who stood ramrod straight, his gaze fixed sharply on her. "Finished?"
Lou Yu's thin lips were pressed into a tight line. His dark eyes were fixed on Qiu Chi, but he said nothing.
Qiu Chi didn't care about his answer.
She said directly, "Since you're done talking, you can die now."
With that, Qiu Chi raised the whip. This time, it wasn't a playful flick like before.
She used a tiny bit of force, and Lou Yu was killed instantly.
The scene was a bit bloody and not suitable for description.
Then, the world froze and began to restart.
Qiu Chi: "..." So he can't die?
Qiu Chi caught the whip Lou Yu swung at her. She was speechless for a moment but still snatched it away. She then proceeded to beat him to vent her frustration, killing him several more times before finally leaving him half-dead.
Covered in blood, Lou Yu was pinned to the ground under Qiu Chi's foot. His eyes were dark and deep as he repeated his earlier assessment of Shangguan Yue.
Qiu Chi kicked him, then wiped her foot on the ground in disgust. "Whether I am her or not is unimportant. What's important is that you suffer properly."
"I'm giving you a chance to run. If I catch you, I'll beat you half to death. You think I'm humiliating you? I am humiliating you."
"You wouldn't be spineless enough to actively seek death, would you?"
Only when Qiu Chi said this did Lou Yu look at her and speak, his tone cold but firm. "Of course I won't seek death. I'm going to drive you out of this body. You have no right to occupy it."
Qiu Chi was speechless for a moment. Unable to resist, she killed Lou Yu again.
Before killing him, she didn't forget to roast him. "Who are you putting on this devoted act for? Weren't you the one who murdered her entire family and abused her? Aren't you disgusting?"
When the world restarted again, Qiu Chi wasted no more words.
She deftly snatched the whip, beat him half to death, and then left immediately.
The dog-walking game had officially begun.
