When he snapped out of his trance, the curtains were placed down already.
The woman inside seemed to be enjoying herself, saying, “Your highness, women on their periods need to rest earlier, otherwise they might get heavier loads. Let me greet your highness tomorrow morning.”
Xuan Yi was speechless.
You’re on your period, so you win.
Therefore, the devil emperor ended up carrying the blankets over to sleep on the familiar-looking luxurious chaise lounge alone on his first wedding night ever.
Up until he laid on the chaise lounge did Xuan Yi react.
——
Wasn’t he going to test the other party?
How come he ended up being taught physiology?
The next day of the wedding ceremony, the moment Ye Yu opened her eyes, she saw the familiar design on the ceiling and felt as if she was back in her previous life with 500 silvers.
…If it weren’t for the system’s noisy voice.
“You’re like an alarm clock that can’t be turned off manually…”
Ye Yu thought that, clenching her teeth.
After waking her up, the system continued to chat, “My host, please extend your consciousness. I really feel something special!”
Ye Yu said expressionlessly, “I wasn’t even awake yet, so how did you feel that existence?”
“My host, please believe in my powers as a system.”
“Now that you said this, the more I think it’s unbelievable.”
Despite saying this, Ye Yu still extended her consciousness.
“…Ah!”
The system screamed in her mind, clearly happy and excited.
“…”
Ye Yu who completely woke up now due to the shock slowly rolled her eyes and said, “When you can come out of my brain, I will definitely —”
“My host! I can feel the system carrier! It’s in a certain corner of this room!”
Ye Yu was stunned.
She extended her consciousness again, but there seemed to be a boundary in this room, so she couldn’t freely investigate like in Ye Residence or in other places.
However, she was able to confirm that Xuan Ye wasn’t here anymore.
As Ye Yu thought about this, she moved the curtains to the side and got out of bed.
As expected, there was not a single person in the room.
Ye Yu quickly swept her gaze across the entire palace hall.
She was even more eager than the system to kick it out of her head.
The system said, feeling wronged, “…My host, I’m still here. I can hear what you’re thinking.”
“Oh, good thing you can hear it.” Ye Yu said expressionlessly, “I wanted to say that to you.”
After saying this, Ye Yu stood up and walked in circles, asking, “Can you really feel the phone? Where’s the rough location?”
“I think it’s by the window and I can’t feel anything more specific than that.”
Xuan Yi’s desk was next to the window, his papers and ink and books all on top of it.
Ye Yu walked over and rummaged for a while, finding nothing.
She couldn’t help but knit her eyebrows, asking, “Are you sure?”
The system was about to talk when it heard Ye Yu gasp.
“Pst…is that rectangular item used to support the table, my phone?”
The system remained silent for a while before saying in a mourning tone, “Sorry, my host. That’s it.”
Ye Yu was surprised and dumbfounded.
Without a regard, Ye Yu hurriedly bent down to pat off the dust piling on the miserable phone which was used to support the table.
——
It was indeed the familiar phone, but it was ruthlessly used to support the table legs right now.
She glanced around before finding a sheet of paper.
Ye Yu grabbed a single sheet and folded several times before saving her phone from the corner of the table legs. Then, she placed the folded paper in.
In the first moments, she checked the functions of the phone.
After dozens of seconds, she said, “It’s indeed a ‘brick.’”
——
Glancing at the screen which was lighting up, Ye Yu sighed with feelings genuinely.
Yet, she wasn’t uncertain and asked the system, “Did you leave yet?”
A small window suddenly popped up on her phone screen.
【My host, I have already left. I’m here now.】
“…”
Ye Yu’s excited expression became expressionless and she asked, “If you really left, how come you can still hear what I’m thinking?”
This time, no windows popped up.
Ye Yu was speechless.
It was the familiar “pretend to be dead” strategy.
Ye Yu fiddled with the phone and then seemingly talked to herself, “How about I place the phone back? After all, it seems like it’s useless.”
Almost right after she said that, a small window lit up the phone screen.
【Actually, I left the backup system which is connected to the main system. It can fulfill some of the functions that were limited before and can also be used by the host if you didn’t bring the system carrier with you sometimes.】
“I refuse. Take it away.”
“…”
The two who got into an argument both glanced at a blurry figure by the window at the same time.
However, the figure disappeared quickly.
Ye Yu who had gotten the victory in the end glanced at her phone as though she had an idea.
“But why was the phone here?”
The author has something to say:
Ye Yu: I am probably the quickest female lead to ever game over. [smile] [waving goodbye]
