Chapter 115: Chapter 74: If It Doesn’t Go Down, the Host Will Be in Grave Danger

’Oh no, he’s about to break the seal!’

Sensing the Sealing Meridian Technique gradually crumbling within his body, Jiang Yunnuan was frantic. Her consciousness entered the system space, and she stared anxiously at the mission countdown.

Only 23 seconds left to complete the mission. 22, 21, 20...

’Just a little longer. You have to hold on, you absolutely have to!’

She prayed silently, her kiss completely distracted. Ming Ye quickly noticed.

The man lowered his gaze and saw the tension and panic on her face. She had none of the passion or engagement of someone who wanted to be kissing him. A dark glint flashed through his cold, violet eyes.

’She doesn’t look like she wants to kiss me. So why, after kissing Fu Yuan, did she rush over and demand a kiss from me?’

’No, it wasn’t demanding a kiss. It was less like asking for a kiss and more like... completing some kind of mandatory task!’

CRACK...

Following a faint tremor, all the energy needles pinning his meridians shattered. His Energy flowed freely in an instant. The tall, domineering figure blurred into an afterimage as the man, his eyes red, lunged toward the two of them.

[Ding! Random challenge completed. Check-in successful.]

At the same time, the crisp sound of a mission notification rang in Jiang Yunnuan’s mind.

She let out a huge sigh of relief, quickly let go of Ming Ye, and turned to forcefully hug the furiously rampaging man.

"Calm down! You need to calm down..."

His eyes red and emanating a hostile aura, the man twisted her arms behind her back. He locked one hand around her wrists and slammed her against a large tree.

Seeing this, Fu Yuan’s brow twitched, and he started walking toward them.

Catching a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Yunnuan’s blood rushed to her head. She yelled at him desperately to stop.

"Stop, Fu Yuan! Don’t come over here! I forbid you! You don’t need to get involved..."

’Jun Yao probably wouldn’t do anything to me, but I can’t say the same for him.’

’The guy is furious and has lost all reason. Coming over now to provoke him isn’t a smart move. Fu Yuan can’t beat him, so he can’t help me. It would only provoke Jun Yao further and might even get a beastman killed.’

Hearing her tell him not to get involved, Fu Yuan clenched his fists. A flash of resentment crossed his heart, but he ultimately stopped and didn’t move any closer to them.

"Why won’t you ever listen?"

’Why does she have to force my hand, make me cripple her and lock her away where no one can ever find her?’

[Ding! Jun Yao’s Blackening Value is detected to be soaring. Current Blackening Value: 70.]

[Ding! Jun Yao’s Blackening Value is detected to be soaring. Current Blackening Value: 85.]

[Ding! Jun Yao’s Blackening Value is detected to be soaring. Current Blackening Value: 95. He is already having thoughts of destroying the host. Host, please stop him immediately.]

[...]

The system said something else, but Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t hear any of it.

She looked up at the man, feeling like she could almost see wisps of black energy swirling around him. His eyes were so frenzied it was terrifying, and her heart was filled with both urgency and utter confusion.

’He’s blackened again!’

’How does he get blackened so easily?’

’And this time is even more terrifying than the last. He actually wants to destroy me.’ Jiang Yunnuan was horrified and wanted to cry but had no tears.

’To think I was just worried that Fu Yuan’s life was in danger. Turns out, the one I should be worried about is myself.’

Her heart pounded violently, and she deeply regretted undergoing the Contract Termination with him.

The man, having learned his lesson, held her hands firmly, giving her no chance to fight back. In her panic, she struggled to stand on her tiptoes and plant a placating kiss on his sharp chin.

"I’ll listen, I’ll listen! We can talk this out. Just let me go so you can calm down a bit. Don’t be angry, I know I was wrong..."

’Bowing my head isn’t a lack of backbone, it’s being pragmatic!’

’Failing to read the situation at a critical moment like this will only lead to a miserable death.’ Jiang Yunnuan felt her little life could still be salvaged; it was worth a try.

The black energy in his eyes grew thicker. He remained silent, and she had no idea if her words were getting through to him.

Jiang Yunnuan felt extremely uneasy.

"System, has his Blackening Value dropped?"

[No, but it has stopped soaring. Host, try a little harder. You might be able to bring it down. If you can’t, the host will be in great danger.]

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’How am I supposed to try?’

’I can’t just make empty promises, he’ll take them seriously!’

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her. ’I can’t make empty promises, but I can say nice things!’

She blinked and proactively moved a little closer to him.

"Jun Yao? Ah Yao? Brother Jun Yao? Brother Yao? Which one do you like?"

"Hm? Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you not like any of them? You’re so handsome when you’re silent. So handsome I can’t help but want to kiss you, but I can’t reach. How about you lower your head a little???"

Her voice was very low, but the two men standing by still heard her.
