After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

"Brothers, I confess! I'll confess to everything, and I'll return everything I stole."

He surrendered, saying the difference in treatment was too great and it had completely shattered his composure.

?

The two burly men who entered the cell exchanged bewildered glances, having never seen a prisoner confess so quickly before.

At that moment, a voice rang out from outside the cell:

"Ignore him. The sect leader has ordered that we give him a good beating. No matter what he says, all the captured thieves are the same. These wretched thieves have dared to steal from my Xuanling Sect."

Upon hearing this, the two burly men were no longer confused. They walked with heavy and firm steps toward the mouth, which was also bound hand and foot.

"Damn it, big brother... good brothers, please, give me a break! Go easy on me, or at least use a different instrument of torture. It looks so heavy! It must be tiring for you to carry."

However, it was all in vain; what was bound to happen would happen anyway.

A thick arm rose, a huge shadow loomed over, and finally, the mouth could only shout:

"Don't hit my face... Ah!!!"

Tom's pitiful screams rang out.

Pulling Xiao Yu, who was still in a daze next door, back to reality, he seemed to hear some strange screams.

No! Those things are unimportant.

The important thing is that he seems to be completely doomed here. Xiao Yu looked at Li Yunshang in front of him with a desperate expression.

To think that Xiao Yu, with his illustrious reputation, would...

Damn it, he remembered Li Yunshang wasn't this cunning before. What on earth happened?

They even killed the protagonist! Could it be that this guy in front of us is also someone else impersonating him, just to kill the protagonist Ye Feng?

Based on his own circumstances, Xiao Yu's mind became clear, and a terrifying and earth-shattering conspiracy emerged.

system:"……………………"

"Friendly reminder: Our system has just detected that Li Yunshang has been infected with a love worm, and it is the most special kind of worm – Yin Hongniang."

This type of Gu worm can greatly intensify the recipient's love for their desired object of affection, even to the point of madness. The recipient will possess extreme obsession with their object of affection, easily discern who they like, and may even engage in extreme behaviors due to their love. Analysis shows that Li Yunshang's love for her host has almost reached its peak. Good luck, host.

As the system's mechanical voice faded, Xiao Yu's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

As expected, the death of the protagonist Ye Feng was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

There must be someone behind all of this.

Sigh! It's also because he's too handsome; his good looks have nowhere to go.

At this moment, probably to prevent Xiao Yu from escaping, Li Yunshang found another rope from somewhere and tied it around Xiao Yu's body again.

Although it was just an ordinary rope, Xiao Yu, who was bound by the Spirit Binding Rope at this moment, was no different from an ordinary person and naturally could not break free.

For some reason, Li Yunshang looked at Xiao Yu with burning eyes, her expression revealing a hint of eagerness and impatience. "Although I still have some questions to ask, I can't wait any longer. Senior Brother Yu, you really want to get out of prison, right? Then... wear this!"

As she spoke, Li Yunshang, with a sickly expression, pulled out a... human collar and approached Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu: Huh?

"This was specially commissioned to be made by someone, and it cost 10,000 spirit stones. It can restrict a cultivator's spiritual power and body, and can even stimulate the human body through subtle spiritual power, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the body. Simply put, it is Senior Brother Yu's listening device with a positioning function."

Isn't that wonderful, senior? Just wear it and stay by my side from now on, like when you escorted me back. You don't need to think too much; I only need you, that's enough.

"Isn't this just a dog?"

"That's not wrong, so, Senior Brother Yu, come be my dog. I will love you well. After that, we'll get married and find a deserted island to live on for the rest of our lives. We'll have several children. I have enough spirit stones saved up to support us and our children."

Li Yunshang's tone was full of happiness and infatuation as she held the collar and approached Xiao Yu step by step.

Damn it...

Oh no, oh no, I'm going to become someone else's property! Where's the system? System, please save me!

As Li Yunshang approached, Xiao Yu felt a sense of panic.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, everything around suddenly slowed down, as if the world had been switched from double speed to 0.5 speed.

Xiao Yu could even see the thick, fluttering eyelashes on Li Yunshang's face.

What happened? Time stopped?

"Host, please don't be alarmed. This system has simply temporarily slowed down your sensory perception of the outside world."

The system quickly provided an explanation in my mind.

What... is this?

"Ding!"

"Quest triggered..."

"We have detected the deep affection of Li Yunshang, one of the female leads. As the protagonist, how can you stand idly by? Since you are currently at a branching point in the plot, you have two choices."

"First, agree to Li Yunshang's request, take the initiative to wear the collar, and achieve Li Yunshang's personal ending, 'The Seclusion: She, Her Hero, and Her Dog'."

Rewards: Nine Spirits Opening Aperture Body (an improved version of the Nine Spirits Absolute Aperture Body, greatly increasing cultivation speed and allowing one to advance in cultivation by leaps and bounds), Pregnancy Pill (with this pill, conceiving ten children at once is no problem, many children bring many blessings~), and a dog tag engraved with Li Yunshang's name.

Second, refuse her firmly and righteously, then kiss her to make her blush, and use this system to refine the love potion in her body, extract it, and make it your own.

Rewards: Top-grade Gu worm Yin Hongniang (worth 100,000 points), 500 points.

Please make your choice, host… (Friendly reminder: If you choose Mission One, you risk being killed by the other female lead's cleaver, and a few years later, the demon race will invade, and you and Li Yunshang may die under their iron hooves. This is not a happy ending, please consider carefully.)

Xiao Yu: "…………"

Finally, the system bound to him has given itself away, but...

You're practically forcing me to choose the second option! Do I even have a choice?

Chapter Thirty-Two, Nearing the End

Without a second thought, Xiao Yu decisively chose option two, but the problem was:

"System, have you forgotten something? I'm tied up right now. Even if I ignore whether Li Yunshang will find out and just go all out to cut the ropes, my legs will probably be broken by her before I even cut them."

Xiao Yu said helplessly, "As expected, the system still has limitations."

"Heh, host, what an idiot. You've been bound for so long for nothing. The Spirit Binding Rope works on Qi cultivators, but it's ineffective against martial artists."

"Even if you say that, I am not..." Xiao Yu paused, that's right, apart from his own cultivation level of the Embracing Simplicity Realm, he was still a beginner first-level martial artist.

He had only been a martial arts practitioner for a short time, and he had almost forgotten about it.

Although the physical enhancement of the first level of martial arts is not as strong as that of the fourth or fifth level, he has already cut most of the rope, and with his strength as a first-level martial artist, he is sure he can break free.

it is good……

Xiao Yu clenched his fists. Since that was the case, why should he stay any longer? He simply started running.

“…………”

As if sensing Xiao Yu's thoughts, the system's unchanging mechanical voice sounded again:

"Friendly reminder: If the host does not remove the love curse from Li Yunshang's body and instead chooses to run away, given her current intense love for the host, she will probably stop at nothing to catch up with you."

"........."

It seems there's no way to avoid it, but, "Does it have to be a kiss? Can't there be other ways?"

The system paused for a moment, scanned Li Yunshang up and down, and then spoke again in a calm tone:

"Because the Gu worm is inside Li Yunshang's body, the only way to remove and refine it is by touching her body. If the host is unwilling to use her mouth, then her lower entrance can also be used..."

"Okay, let's go with the mouth."

Before the system could finish speaking, Xiao Yu made a decisive decision.

“…………”

as long as you are happy.

The next moment, whoosh—the slow pace of the surroundings quickly returned to normal, as if time had been turned back with the hands of a clock.

The surrounding airflow has returned to normal.

"Come on, Senior Brother Yu, put it on and become my dog ​​all by yourself."

Holding the collar, Li Yunshang continued to approach Xiao Yu, her expression as sickly as ever.

Call ~

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, then raised his head. His resolute gaze sent a shiver down Li Yunshang's spine.

She asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Yu?"

"I reject."

"Eh?"

"I refuse to be your dog, and I'd rather die than wear this collar."

"Why? Am I not good-looking? Whatever you want, I can satisfy you. Besides, all you need to do is spend time with me every day. As for food and clothing, you can have as many spirit stones as you want."

"Hi~"

To be honest, Xiao Yu was really tempted. He could have an endless supply of spirit stones, and he wouldn't have to think about how to make money. All he had to do was move his back every day, though that might be a little tiring...

Wait a minute, isn't this exactly what Sun Qian's life is like?

Seemingly sensing Xiao Yu's thoughts, Li Yunshang waved her hand, tossing a bag of glowing spirit stones in front of him. She parted her lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of seduction:

"Come on, put it on, and all of these are yours."

"Um...it is indeed very good. May I ask if I can bring a woman with me? She is my apprentice and has suffered a lot with me. If I become rich and powerful, I will remember her."

The moment the words left his mouth, a spiked club grazed Xiao Yu's head and was thrown out with tremendous force.

A loud crash came from the wall behind them, and cracks in the spiderweb spread across the wall, the spiked club becoming firmly embedded in it.

Holy crap...

A few broken strands of hair fell from his ears, and cold sweat poured down Xiao Yu's forehead.

"Are you kidding me? I told you not to mention other women when you're with me. You never learn. Looks like I'm not the only one. You really do have other women."
