[The host has completed the challenge of obtaining 100 points of killing intent at once and has won the reward of a spatial bracelet. Do you want to claim it now?]
Zhen Xiaoyu vaguely sensed such a sentence. Without thinking, she replied, "Yes."
"You're actually not dead yet!" A hoarse and fierce voice like that of a hellish demon drilled into her ears.
At the same time, a hand with calloused fingertips grabbed her neck.
[90 points of killing intent obtained!]
Zhen Xiaoyu instantly woke up with a start. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a human - shaped shadow lying on top of her. Long hair hung down, blocking the little moonlight that came in through the window, making it impossible to see the face clearly.
Before she could take a closer look, the feeling of suffocation swept over her.
"Help..." She reached up to grab the hand that was choking her.
"Bang!" The door was suddenly kicked open, and someone rushed in with a lantern.
"Let go of our young lady!" A thunderous shout came.
Zhen Xiaoyu felt the hand on her neck loosen, and the person on top of her was yanked away. A dull thud sounded beside her. The light in front of her swayed, making her feel dizzy and her neck ache.
"Cough... Vom!" She turned over and lay on the edge of the bed, retching uncomfortably.
Out of the corner of her eye, a strong maid with a tall figure, her hair tied into two small buns and wearing an ancient - style cloth dress, was holding a lantern in one hand and a club in the other, about to hit the person under her foot.
"You scumbag! How dare you choke our young lady's neck! I'll beat you to death!"
Just as the club was about to hit the person, a clear voice came: "Stop!"
Zhen Xiaoyu looked in the direction of the voice. A graceful young girl in a long - sleeved dress was standing at the door against the starlight. The doors and windows around were made of wood, and the window panes were pasted with paper. The whole scene was very antique.
This...
What was going on? She had been sleeping soundly, and when she woke up, she was in a set for an ancient - costumed drama?
If it was really a filming, the person who choked her was too ruthless. She had almost died just now.
While Zhen Xiaoyu was in a daze, the young girl quickly walked in. She first looked at Zhen Xiaoyu. Seeing that Zhen Xiaoyu was okay, she squinted her eyes. Her long eyelashes covered the flash of regret in her eyes. Then she reached out and pulled the strong maid away.
"What are you doing? Why are you beating A Man?" The young girl frowned her delicate eyebrows.
The strong maid pointed at the man lying on the ground and accused, "Eldest young lady, look at the evil person you picked up. If I hadn't arrived in time, our young lady would have been choked to death by him!"
The young girl showed a half - smiling expression and asked, "Isn't this A Man's room? Why would Xiaoyu be in A Man's bed in the middle of the night?"
The strong maid, who had been accusing just now, was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Zhen Xiaoyu. "Young lady, weren't you sleeping in your own room? Why did you come here?"
This scene and the lines were so familiar... Suddenly, Zhen Xiaoyu remembered the content of the serialized novel she had given a negative review to last night.
After the female protagonist was reborn, the first thing she did was to save the man who would one day hold great power in the court before the vicious female side character did. Then she secretly drugged the two of them and stuffed the not - yet - beautiful female side character into the man's bed, trying to get the man to kill the female side character so that she wouldn't bear the infamy of killing her younger sister.
She remembered that the female protagonist's name was Zhen Yunqian, the maid beside the female side character was called A Hua, and this man named A Man - according to the spoilers from the novel fans in the comment section, he was the ultimate big villain in the novel.
As for why she gave a negative review, the reason was actually very simple... Because the name of this vicious female side character was the same as hers, and it annoyed her!
"A Hua." A hoarse and unpleasant voice came out of her mouth. The real pain in her throat reminded her that this was not a dream.
"Here, young lady." The strong maid immediately replied.
Zhen Xiaoyu climbed up and sat down. She found that her hands, feet, and body had all gotten a few rounds fatter, and it was quite clumsy to move around. This was very similar to the setting in the novel. The vicious female side character with the same name as her in the book was a fat girl before she got the spatial bracelet!
To confirm that she had really transmigrated into the book, she eagerly leaned over to see if the man on the ground had a scarred face like it was written in the novel.
As a result, as soon as she poked her head out, she met the man's death glare.
She was so scared that her hand slipped, and she fell off the bed and landed on the man. Immediately, a muffled groan drilled into her ears.
[50 points of killing intent obtained!]
Another prompt sounded in her mind.
Zhen Xiaoyu really didn't know how to deal with this situation, so she decided to play dead. She rolled her eyes and "fainted".
"Young lady! What's wrong with you!!" The strong maid's heart - rending voice exploded.
"A Hua, go find grandpa quickly and ask grandpa to send someone to the town to invite a doctor." The young girl's voice was more gentle and euphemistic although it was urgent.
"Okay, I'll go right away! Please take care of our young lady first, eldest young lady." The heavy footsteps quickly left the room.
Zhen Xiaoyu felt a soft hand hold hers, and then... something on her wrist was pulled off. The next moment, she was forcefully flipped over by a pair of hands, and the back of her head hit the ground.
Zhen Xiaoyu: "..."
Now she really felt dizzy.
In a daze, she seemed to "see" a book. The title on the book cover read "System Mall Exchange Catalog", and there was a line of small words below: Available killing intent points can be exchanged at an equivalent value.
With a thought, the book automatically flipped open. The top line read: 500 grams of corn seeds = 1 point of killing intent.
Below were all kinds of crop seeds.
Just as she was about to flip to the next page, she heard the young girl's voice.
"A Man, are you okay? Oh my god, your wound has split open again. The ground is cold. Let me help you up first."
Zhen Xiaoyu secretly opened one eye a little. She saw the young girl bending down to help up the terrifying - looking man.
The man seemed to have pulled his wound, and he groaned again.
[10 points of killing intent obtained!]
Zhen Xiaoyu:???
She was just lying on the ground doing nothing, and she could still obtain killing intent?
No wonder this man was known as the god of killing in the novel. If she could get him by her side, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a walking killing - intent extraction machine?
But it seemed not easy to get him. The reborn female protagonist had already taken the lead in saving him, and after what just happened, it might be useless to be nice to him.
While she was daydreaming, there were messy footsteps. Soon, someone stepped into the room.
"My dear! Don't scare grandpa." An old but energetic exclamation exploded.
Zhen Xiaoyu peeked secretly and saw an old man with graying hair and a walking stick striding quickly to her side. He threw away the walking stick, picked her up, and gently put her on the bed.
Inevitably, the old man saw the choking marks on Zhen Xiaoyu's neck. He immediately flew into a rage and turned his head fiercely to look at the man who was already sitting up with Zhen Yunqian's support.
"A Hua, tie this scumbag up and throw him to the dogs!"
Zhen Xiaoyu sat up like a zombie, "No, grandpa—"
She couldn't pretend anymore. If she didn't say something, her future killing - intent extraction machine would really be thrown to the dogs.
