Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 240 The Soul of a Fallen Beauty (12)

After Shen Yun left in a panic, she realized she still hadn't found the reason why she couldn't leave the palace. A sense of melancholy washed over her.

She had clearly forgotten what Zhao Jixiang would do once he regained consciousness, given how conspicuous her actions had been.

Yuan Zhou looked at Zhao Jixiang, who was lying unconscious on the bed, his fingers stroking his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking. It wasn't that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the world was so big that anything was possible, and what had just happened left him no choice but to believe.

That was the real Zhao Ruyi?
Everyone says that Zhao's little lucky star is innocent, cute, and kind-hearted.

He didn't know if she was kind-hearted or not, but he certainly couldn't tell if she was innocent and cute.

Rumors are indeed not entirely credible.

Yuanzhou waited until Zhao Jixiang woke up before leaving. Zhao Jixiang still had no memory of what had just happened. Since the palace maids and eunuchs were all guarding outside, and the only eunuch who knew a little bit of the truth was with Yuanzhou, he naturally wouldn't say anything.

This led Zhao Jixiang to conclude that the truth was that His Majesty had just been furious with her.

But she had absolutely no memory of it.

Zhao Jixiang thought for a while, then his expression suddenly changed drastically.

After dismissing all the servants, he went into the inner room and pulled out a hidden compartment from his usual dressing box. Inside was a dark green jade pendant, gleaming with a faint luster.

Zhao Jixiang first breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes were filled with jealousy, looking at the jade pendant with longing and yearning.

She stopped halfway through reaching out, as if she had just come to her senses and closed the hidden compartment.

As long as she has this jade pendant, the things she worries about will definitely not happen.

Those who have died will never come back to life.

In this life, in the next life, and in every lifetime, she will always be the winner.

Da Mei, who was looking in the mirror, tilted her head and looked at the jade pendant with some envy. It was such a good quality pendant; it would be a shame not to wear it around her neck.

A beautiful jade deserves a beautiful woman like her.

Originally, she wanted to see what one of her ideal husband's favorite concubines looked like, but now it seems that he's nothing special. Da Mei proudly puffed out her chest.

If someone with Zhao Jixiang's figure can catch Yuan Zhou's eye, then Yuan Zhou will definitely be captivated by her as soon as he sees her.

But before that, she had to get her hands on the jade.

Otherwise, the itch would be unbearable, and it would be really unbearable.

So Da Mei turned around and told Shen Yun about it.

“You and Zhao Jixiang are sisters, why don’t you appear in her dream and tell her that you really like that jade pendant, and that you’ll be restless down there if you don’t have it?” Da Mei looked at her sincerely.

“Have you forgotten something?” Shen Yun said, “I am like this because of her.”

Zhao Jixiang would only be happy if he lived a restless life.

Da Mei immediately deflated, "But that jade pendant really suits me."

Jade?

"What kind of?" Shen Yun suddenly asked with some doubt.

Da Mei gestured with her hands, but because her posture was too contorted, her hand fell to the ground.

Shen Yun: "..." It seems quite exciting.

Da Mei calmly put her hand back down. "It's dark green, and it's more like a jade bead than a jade pendant. It's about the size of a thumb."

This jade pendant must be hiding a storyline.

[Congratulations, host, your answer is correct.]

Shen Yun rolled her eyes. "Hindsight is 20/20. Why didn't you wait until she finished everything before you spoke up?"

Their system not only helps the host perform tasks, but it also makes soft, whimpering noises.

She's the type who not only refuses to help with tasks, but also loves to argue.

Who did she offend? 2345 felt a little guilty, but the truth was that it was practically impossible for it to get the complete plot, since every move the host made would cause subtle changes to the story.

Some plot details can only be revealed after the mission is completed.

It's not that it's useless.

[There's another reason why the original owner of this body was called a lucky charm.]

Shen Yun twitched the corner of his mouth, a guess forming in his mind.

The jade pendant in Zhao Jixiang's hand was something the original owner had held since birth. The fact that the original owner was so easily deceived by Zhao Jixiang was also related to the loss of the jade pendant.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun didn't find the jade pendant to be a mysterious prop; instead, she felt somewhat uneasy. "Tell me, are you sure this is a jade pendant?"

What else could it be?

Shen Yun reasonably speculated, "Look, Zhao Yin must have had the Imperial Hospital develop a lot of pills to prevent the women in the harem from having children."

【So, what's the matter?】2345 had a slight urge to cover its ears, feeling that it might not want to hear what the host was about to say.

"Under these circumstances, the royal palace must have taken a lot of contraceptive pills. This jade pendant might be a stone formed from the pills over time."

2345 finally covered their ears, but this action was like burying their heads in the sand, completely useless.

The host's words echoed in its mind like bullet comments.

Seeing the dog's listless appearance, Shen Yun finally cut off the contact with satisfaction.

The reason she was able to possess Zhao Jixiang's body was mostly because of the ashes in the small porcelain bottle around her neck.

Plan one: Obtain the talisman paper from Qi Mona that can transform physical objects into things she can touch; Plan two: Possess Zhao Jixiang's body and obtain the jade pendant.

As for the ashes, Zhao Jixiang can wear them if he likes.

……

Qi Mo was devastated when he was stopped on his way home from court once again.

Why are his talismans completely useless against this ghost? Everything was fine before.

"What do you want to do?" Qi Mo asked after maintaining a safe distance from her.

I should think of a way to retire and return to my hometown by tomorrow. This ghost can't leave the palace, as long as he doesn't stay inside the palace.

Shen Yun put his hands on his hips and thought for a while.

What was she going to do again?

Ah! That's right, the talisman!

“I am your former master, and that’s how you talk to me.”

Qi Mo slowly closed her eyes. This wasn't human! This wasn't human!! This wasn't human!!
Important things should be repeated to yourself three times.

After reading it aloud, Qi Mo felt a little better. "May I ask, Your Highness, what do you want to do by stopping me?"

"That's more like it!" Shen Yun clicked his tongue. "People should be polite and read more books."

Qi Mo chuckled twice. "Read more books?"

He wouldn't have thought anything of this if it were just anyone, but this person in front of him... well, let's just leave it at that.

They make excuses even for a box of books, yet they have the nerve to suggest reading more.

“Before you burned that box of books for me, you pasted talismans on it, and you gave me a thousand or eight hundred of them.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Mo's face darkened, and disregarding his physical reaction, he prepared to leave.

Shen Yun quickly stopped him, asking with some surprise, "It's not like I'm not going to pay you, why are you getting so worked up?"

I never expected Qi Mo to be such a materialistic person.
