“So she was the Crown Prince’s savior.”
No wonder she managed to connect with the Crown Prince so smoothly.
“Not exactly—she stole the original host’s credit.” Hearing her Host’s words, Little Cabbage shook her head, eager to share the information she had just uncovered.
It turned out that before going to the estate, the original host had once visited a temple to pray. There, she accidentally encountered the Crown Prince, who was being pursued by assassins. She hid him in her room and saved his life.
However, at the time, the Crown Prince had lost too much blood and was on the verge of losing consciousness, so he couldn’t see her face clearly. He only vaguely heard the words “Miss Luo.”
That scene happened to be witnessed by Luo Qingqing, who was in the neighboring room.
When the Crown Prince traveled incognito to the south, Father Luo, as the county magistrate, had caught wind of it and kept a portrait of the Crown Prince, fearing he might inadvertently become implicated.
Luo Qingqing happened to have seen that portrait and recognized the Crown Prince.
Later, when she entered the capital… she falsely claimed the original host’s merit as her own.
This was also the real reason she was so desperate to kill the original host.
“……..” What a cliché plot!
It felt like Little Cabbage shouldn’t have shared this—knowing it only made her angrier.
It seemed like Luo Qingqing got off too easily!
“Also, the original host has avenged her great grievance and fulfilled her wish. She has moved on to reincarnation. She asked me to tell you, ‘Thank you,’ Host~”
“What’s there to thank? I didn’t really help her much. It was mostly Uncle Gu.”
Different choices at different stages of life lead to different outcomes.
Sometimes, many seemingly insignificant small things can have a huge impact.
She just had the System’s help, didn’t miss the chance to meet Uncle Gu, and seized the opportunity to escape the Luo family.
If the original host had had this chance and known about it, she probably could have saved herself too.
So Luo Li felt she really hadn’t helped much.
“And Little Caicai, you’re amazing too.” Thinking this, she added a compliment with a smile.
Little Cabbage was taken aback for a moment, then grinned sheepishly, a bit embarrassed.
Even so, the original host was still very grateful to Luo Li and the others.
The merit value on the System interface had also increased by 10 points.
“Oh, by the way, how did you find out about this, Caicai?”
“I read it from Luo Qingqing’s memories. I can see them after she died.” She couldn’t see them while she was alive.
“Oh, then do you know where Gu Xuanjing is now, Caicai?”
With the original host’s matter settled, it was time to focus seriously on the Strategy.
It was strange, though. Ever since Luo Li moved to the Gu residence, Gu Xuanjing had only shown up on the first day. After that, it was as if he had disappeared.
She hadn’t seen him for over half a month.
Little Cabbage tapped her small screen in response.
“He’s in his room, taking a bath.”
Luo Li: “Huh???”
“Here.” Before Luo Li could say more, Little Cabbage had already considerately switched the projection screen to Gu Xuanjing’s side.
Well, eight well-defined abs, clear texture, quite fair… pinkish…
The lower half… well, blocked by the bathtub.
Seeing her Host’s face suddenly turn red, Little Cabbage scratched her head in confusion.
“Oh, right, Host, the projection angle can be adjusted.”
As she spoke, she tried to adjust it, only to find the screen go black.
Huh? Nothing left?
Meanwhile, Gu Xuanjing had already fastened his clothes, his eyes thoughtfully fixed on a corner of the room.
He had just felt as if someone was watching him.Little Cabbage was also quite bewildered: “Why did the screen go black?”
Poke, poke, poke—she checked it over.
“There’s nothing wrong with it either.”
“Ahem, ahem…” Luo Li snapped back to reality and coughed a few times. It was probably the System judging the content inappropriate for minors and cutting it off.
“So, Caicai, it seems Gu Xuanjing doesn’t have any issues. Why would he end up alone?”
Her impression of Gu Xuanjing was roughly that he was over 1.9 meters tall, with a figure—well, exceptionally good—and the typical appearance of a cold, handsome nobleman from a prominent family.
His family background was also excellent. He was clearly the standard ideal husband material.
How did he end up destined to grow old alone?
“Because he’s just as picky as his father.”
Little Cabbage was still pondering whether her screen suddenly going black meant it was broken. Hearing Luo Li’s question, she answered without thinking.
Only after speaking did she suddenly react.
Luo Li: “Huh? What do you mean?” Is Uncle Gu really that picky?
Well, at this point, Little Cabbage had no choice but to tell the truth. After all, the Host would find out sooner or later, and there was nothing that couldn’t be said.
“Actually, Host, the person we need to strategize is our Demon Lord, the Demon Lord himself.
Although he’s called the Demon Lord, our Lord isn’t a bad person. He just needs to manage the demon race. In fact, he’s a Divine Son.”
“At the same time, he’s also the main administrator of our Time-Space Management Bureau. Recently, there was a disruption in the minor worlds.
When the Lord came to fix it, something went wrong, causing his soul power to scatter across various minor worlds, unable to reunite and return.”
“That’s why we need to carry out the Strategy. As long as we raise the Lord’s Favorability Value to 100%, his soul fragments will willingly follow the Host out of the minor world.”
“Once enough fragments are gathered, the Lord will be able to wake up.”
“Our Lord has never been in a relationship before. He’s a good boy.
But he’s just too picky. We’ve tried many Hosts before, but none succeeded in bringing him back.
Not even one successful world—the highest Favorability Value was only 0.5%.” And that was after over a decade of effort.
“But Host, you can definitely do it! Look, you’ve already broken the Favorability Value record in no time!
Besides, our Radish Chief God and Luo Tu have both checked. Your soul Compatibility with the Demon Lord is as high as 100%—a perfect match!”
“So, Host, you don’t need to worry. We’ll definitely be able to bring the Lord back~”
“And then, Host, you can gather lots of Fate Energy and Merit Virtue, and do whatever you want. It’s great.”
Luo Li: “……” So that’s how it is.
Luo Li didn’t have much of a reaction to this. It seemed like most Strategy Systems were like this, right?
Still, knowing that her Strategy target was the same person all along made her feel inexplicably more at ease.
But there was one thing she was quite curious about.
“Caicai, was your name given to you by your Chief God?”
One Radish, one Cabbage?
“Huh? Yes! How did you know, Host? Isn’t it nice? Our Chief God and the others often praise me! Even my body was crafted by the Chief God himself~”
Everyone says I’m the most handsome System of my generation.
Looking at Little Cabbage’s happy expression, Luo Li: “…Yeah, it’s nice.”
“Hehe.”
The Luo family’s affairs had caused quite a stir, and the two elders of the Gu residence were also aware of it.However, neither Luo Li nor Uncle Gu told them the truth about the original owner’s mother’s death.
The two elders were old and could not bear such a blow.
When the original owner’s mother passed away, her maternal grandmother had fallen gravely ill and nearly died.
This time, they dared not say anything more.
As for the Luo family’s affairs, they simply said it was a case of reaping what they had sown.
“Good child, that was their own mistake and has nothing to do with you.
From now on, you can live peacefully at home. Your maternal grandmother and maternal grandfather, as well as your uncle and cousin, are all your family.”
Fearing Luo Li might be upset, the old lady came over specifically to comfort her.
Luo Li nodded, gently leaning her head on her shoulder, full of dependence.
“Yes, from now on, maternal grandmother’s home will be my home.”
Seeing her acting just like she did in childhood, Old Lady Gu smiled and gently stroked her hair, her eyes filled with affection.
