Volume 1, Chapter 37 – [Bzz…Bzz….]

“Oh my!”

“Little Shiyuan is crying?”

Lu Zhuxin stood outside the courtyard and could hear the sobbing sounds coming from within.

Hearing this, Lu Zhuxin couldn’t suppress the smile curling at her lips.

“Hehe.”

“That strong and independent sword cultivator junior martial sister is actually crying.”

“Ah, she’s crying so sadly.”

“System, what should I do? I made little Shiyuan cry.”

[Then why don’t you go in and comfort her?]

The System said without any good humor.

Comfort her? That was impossible.

Lu Zhuxin had designed so much and worked so hard to reach this point.

If she went in now, all her previous setup would be wasted.

Lu Zhuxin would never do something so troublesome for herself.

“Tsk…” Lu Zhuxin was quite pleased at this moment. “Up to now, Song Shiyuan, this female lead, should be more or less conquered, right?”

[Host, the System detects that the karmic connection between Song Shiyuan and Song Shixuan has not been completely severed.]

The System immediately threw cold water on Lu Zhuxin.

[Therefore, your conquest has not been completed.]

Lu Zhuxin was speechless. “You’ve got to be kidding. I’ve worked this hard.”

“And they’ll still end up together in the end?”

“Just how much does Song Shiyuan love that big scumbag?”

[The System cannot detect Song Shiyuan’s affection level toward Song Shixuan. Please explore this yourself, Host.]

“Then this system of yours is really useless!” Lu Zhuxin said impatiently.

“Why does this feel so exhausting…”

“I don’t want to do this anymore!”

“This isn’t work for humans!”

[Then, has the Host decided to change routes again and choose Route A?]

The System’s voice sounded somewhat eager.

[If the Host decides to actively choose Route A, this System can help you actively trigger the Heavenly Dao’s restorative power. This way, you can most quickly repair the route and return to Route A’s storyline.]

Lu Zhuxin raised an eyebrow. The System actually had such a function?

It could actively trigger the Heavenly Dao’s restorative power?

That made sense. After all, it was a system.

In typical system novels, systems existed as the protagonist’s powerful cheat. The operating principles of systems could even supersede the operational laws of small worlds.

So where exactly did things like systems come from?

[So, has the Host made a decision? Host, you can directly become your favorite cream puff.]

“Thanks! But allow me to refuse.” Lu Zhuxin said. “I only like writing about cream puffs. That doesn’t mean I like becoming a cream puff.”

[Lord Ye’s love for dragons?] ¹ “叶公好龙” (Yè gōng hǎo lóng) is a Chinese idiom that describes someone who claims to admire something but is actually afraid of it or does not truly understand it. In this scenario, system is saying that Zhuxin loves to become creampuff but is too afraid to go through with it.

“Is that how you use that idiom?”

Lu Zhuxin discovered that this dog system had been fixated on the cream puff matter all along.

She had a strange obsession with “turning Lu Zhuxin into a cream puff.”

What did cream puffs ever do to it?

Did this dog system really like cream puffs that much?

[Tsk…]

Regarding Lu Zhuxin’s refusal, the System seemed very disappointed.

However, it didn’t continue dwelling on this issue. Instead, it explained.

[Although their karmic thread hasn’t been severed, it has weakened considerably compared to before, which shows that the Host’s conquest strategy is still quite effective.]

[Just a little bit more, and it can be completely severed.]

“Is it ‘a little bit more’ or ‘a billion bits more’?” Lu Zhuxin pressed her hand to her forehead.

[The System cannot detect specific numerical values. Please explore this yourself, Host.]

Lu Zhuxin felt like hitting someone.

However, at least she knew her efforts weren’t in vain.

It was just that this last bit of karmic connection. Where was the problem?

Was it that the bond between Song Shiyuan and the male lead hadn’t been severed?

Or that Song Shiyuan hadn’t truly fallen in love with the little fox demon yet?

Or perhaps both.

“It’s fine. The script can continue to be written.” Lu Zhuxin rubbed her forehead.

“For now, let poor little Shiyuan rest for a while.”

“I won’t torment her for now. I’ll spare her temporarily.”

Lu Zhuxin truly felt a bit tired.

The moonlight was beautiful now. Perfect for sleep.

As cultivators, they could replace sleep with cultivation.

But as an ordinary person who had just transmigrated, Lu Zhuxin couldn’t accept not sleeping at night.

Without sleep at night, she’d collapse during the day.

[Bzzt…]

“Hmm? What’s that sound?” Lu Zhuxin seemed to hear a strange noise.

Rеαd оո КаtRеаⅾiոgСαfе

It came from inside her head.

[Searching… bzzt…]

It sounded like strange electrical current, and the error sounds of a program.

“System, what did you just say?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

[Host, the System just said to explore it yourself.]

“…Tsk.” Lu Zhuxin rubbed her forehead.

She slowly smoothed out her furrowed brow. “I must really be too tired.”

“This body clearly has Mahayana stage cultivation. How can it get tired so easily…”

Lu Zhuxin muttered quietly.

…

“Your Majesty.”

A seductive fox demon dressed in a bright red dress appeared before Lu Zhuxin.

“Hu Mei’er.” Lu Zhuxin raised her hand.

The crimson fox demon’s face lit up joyfully as she moved close to Lu Zhuxin, bending down slightly.

Whether it was Hu Mei’er, Hu Xian’er, or Song Shiyuan, they were all probably over 170 centimeters tall.

Quite a bit taller than Lu Zhuxin, who was barely 160 centimeters.

Hu Mei’er had to bend down slightly so Lu Zhuxin could better reach her fluffy fox ears.

This soft, fluffy texture was truly addictive.

Lu Zhuxin stroked the fox demon’s ears, and the weariness in her heart seemed to dissipate considerably.

Ever since Lu Zhuxin had mentioned before that she really liked seeing them reveal their fox ears and tails, whenever they were alone with Lu Zhuxin, they would actively show their ears and tails.

Hu Xian’er on the side looked at Lu Zhuxin, then at the hand stroking the fox ears. Her feet shifted slightly, but she held back from stepping forward. There was something unusual in her eyes.

“These fluffy ears and big tails are the soul of fox demons!” Lu Zhuxin roared at the System in her mind.

[If the Host likes them so much, why don’t you touch your own?]

“You want me to touch myself in front of two subordinates?” Lu Zhuxin said. “How is that different from taking a shit in public?”

[…]

“Ahh~~!”

Lu Zhuxin yawned.

She leaned gently against the fox demon attendant.

“I’m so tired. I don’t want to walk anymore. Hu Mei’er, carry me back.”

“Ah?” Hu Mei’er blinked her beautiful eyes. She stammered incoherently, “Your… Your… Your Majesty… is that okay?”

“Mm…” Lu Zhuxin responded vaguely with a sound of acknowledgment.

“Your Majesty… pardon the offense.” Hu Mei’er took a deep breath.

She slowly crouched down, one hand supporting Lu Zhuxin’s shoulders, the other hooking under her legs, gently lifting her up in a princess carry.

Lu Zhuxin squirmed a bit, found a comfortable position, and closed her eyes contentedly.

“Your Majesty, Mei’er will carry you back to your room.” Hu Mei’er said gently in a soft voice.

Seeing this, Hu Xian’er’s eyes dimmed behind them. She let out a heavy sigh.

Fox demons were not affected by restrictions in the Fox Palace. They quickly returned to Lu Zhuxin’s Fox Monarch bedchamber.

“I won’t go in.” Hu Xian’er looked at Hu Mei’er’s back and said, “You watch over Her Majesty tonight.”

“Wait, Sister Xian’er.”

Hu Mei’er, holding Lu Zhuxin, called out to Hu Xian’er.

“Her Majesty’s condition is a bit strange.”

“Hmm?” Confusion crossed Hu Xian’er’s face as she walked over.

She saw that Lu Zhuxin had already leaned against Hu Mei’er and fallen deeply asleep.
