Jian Ke was, of course, only joking. There was no way she would actually seek death. She still wanted to continue being the female god of death!
However, when she looked at the girl in the mirror, she could not help sighing, “This is way too ugly.”
Jian Ke had lived two lifetimes, and she had been exceptionally beautiful in both of them.
So even though she was notorious as the goddess of death in the Interstellar Era, there had never been a shortage of people who wanted to spend a night with her.
Fortunately, her bone structure was not much different from her previous self. With some proper care, she should be able to grow back into her former appearance.
Jian Ke consoled herself while urging Shiqi to put the mirror away as quickly as possible.
After the mirror was removed, the two of them sat down on the floor and began discussing where they were.
“I already looked into it earlier. This is a parallel world of that Apocalypse novel, 《Apocalypse: The Beloved of Everyone》, that Big Sis read before, and you are the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead who dies right at the beginning.”
Shiqi tried to imitate Jian Ke and sit cross-legged, but his legs were too short, so he had no choice but to give up.
“What?” Jian Ke had countless curses from her previous life ready to burst out, but after considering the little system’s mental and emotional well-being, she held them back.
After hearing what Shiqi said, she understood her situation as well. So after another Transmigration, she had become cannon fodder once again?
This novel was actually a rare surviving copy that the Interstellar Library had managed to preserve with great difficulty. Jian Ke had only read it because someone told her that it contained a character who shared the same name as her.
Although “Jian Ke” did not survive past three chapters.
Still, Jian Ke had finished reading it with the thought that anyone capable of killing someone named Jian Ke must be extremely powerful.
Afterward, she began seriously questioning her life choices…
The female protagonist in the novel was Jian Ke’s stepsister, Jian Cha. She was exactly as her name suggested: incredibly fake and manipulative.
At the very beginning, she used a precognitive dream to steal the cheat that originally belonged to Jian Ke, a small jade gourd.
According to the novel, the gourd contained countless fertile fields and medicinal herbs. It could also raise living creatures, and people could even enter it.
The female protagonist, Jian Cha, used her precognitive dreams to quickly stockpile a large amount of supplies. She then relied on those supplies to thrive in the Apocalypse and began living a life surrounded by countless handsome men.
Apparently, the female protagonist was a delicate little white flower whom every man could not help but fall for. Every one of them was willing to have her and share her with the others.
When Jian Ke had read this part, she had nearly been rendered speechless. Although she had never been in love, she still knew that true love could not tolerate even a grain of sand between two people.
So after finishing the novel, Jian Ke had been disgusted for quite some time. She had even gotten into a serious fight with the person who recommended it to her.
“So this is Blue Star?” Jian Ke became somewhat excited at the thought. After all, she had been born and raised on Blue Star in her first life. After going to the Interstellar Era, she had especially missed the food here!
“Yes and no.”
Shiqi shook his head and explained, “It is Blue Star, but not the Blue Star you lived on before.”
“That doesn’t matter. As long as there is good food.”
Jian Ke genuinely did not care. She had been alone before, and there was nothing on that planet she particularly cared about.
Still, when she thought of the soldiers under Huang Xiang whom she had personally trained, she felt a little regretful. She would not be able to torment them anymore in the future.
But there was no feast that did not end. She would definitely find another group of Powerhouses in the future!
After giving herself some encouragement, Jian Ke continued talking with Shiqi.
“Where did you find all this out? You can come out? And you can scan the surrounding environment even when you don’t have enough energy?”
Jian Ke fired off three questions in a row.
Shiqi finally looked a little dejected.
“No. I found out because of another little thing…” As he spoke, a chip appeared in his hand. On closer inspection, the chip was actually bouncing around.
“What is this?” Jian Ke took the little thing and examined it carefully. She found it rather unusual.
“I am the greatest system of the 24th century.”
Before Shiqi could answer, the chip spoke.
Having seen all kinds of strange things before, Jian Ke snorted. “The 24th century? I am the female god of death from the 28th century. What are you bragging about?”
System: …This host seems different from what the Main God said.
Wasn’t she supposed to be a gentle and pitiful little thing? The person he had encountered was clearly a fiery little pepper!
“Answer seriously. What do you do?” Jian Ke said as she squeezed the chip, clearly intending to take it apart if it refused to answer.
“Don’t get worked up.” The chip, which claimed to be the greatest system, immediately became obsequious.
“Actually, it’s like this. Host, you already know that you have become the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead in this world, the kind who doesn’t survive past three chapters.”
“And I am here to save you! As long as you dare, as long as you want to, the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System can help you defy fate and change your destiny!”
“The Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System?” Jian Ke suppressed Shiqi’s urge to make a move and asked, “What exactly do I have to do?”
“It’s very simple.” The chip bounced in her hand. “You just need to cling to the female protagonist’s coattails!”
“?”
“You really have some nerve.”
Jian Ke had always been the one others clung to, so she felt rather offended. Besides, was a little white flower who could not survive without men really worthy of her clinging to her?
“There is no other way. The female protagonist’s halo in this world is too powerful. This is the only way to defy fate and change your destiny. Host, don’t you want to stay alive?”
“Of course I want to live, but the mission?” Jian Ke paused, then said under the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System’s expectant gaze, “I’m not doing it.”
The Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System felt provoked!
But what could it do? It had not even managed to bind itself to its host yet. The power over its own life and death was still in someone else’s hands. Sob… Why was its life so miserable?
“But Host, you will be punished if you don’t complete the missions.” The system still tried to persuade Jian Ke to carry out the missions.
“You haven’t even bound yourself to me.”
Jian Ke was not falling for it.
“But then you won’t survive.”
“Then I’ll just kill the female protagonist and take her halo.”
Jian Ke had died twice already and had long since learned to live however she pleased, without restraint.
Besides, what was there to fear about death? If she did not want to do something, not even the Heavenly King himself could force her to do it.
Moreover, Jian Ke had always believed that she had pretty good luck. Who would die in the end was still uncertain.
“You, you, you…” The Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System thought Jian Ke’s statement was rather dangerous, but somehow, it found itself a little tempted by the idea!
“I, I, I…” Jian Ke imitated the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System.
“I’m not doing it, so stop your nonsense. Be careful, or I’ll take you apart.”
Hearing this, the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System trembled in fear. Once again, it lamented how miserable its fate was for being matched with such a host.
On top of that, it was worried. It would also be punished if it failed to complete its missions…
“Shiqi, how are you going to replenish your energy?” Jian Ke stopped looking at the Cannon-Fodder Female Lead System, which had completely given up, and asked the little figure sitting nearby.
“I don’t know yet either. But the system’s basic functions are still intact, so Big Sis can use them without worry.” Shiqi frowned and answered in his soft, cute voice.
“Whether I can use them or not isn’t important. Big Sis is mainly worried about you.” Jian Ke rubbed the top of Shiqi’s head again. It felt really nice!
Watching the interaction between the two, the chip finally understood why it could not bind itself to its host!
So this person already had a partner from the start? Was it actually the third party?!
