Chapter 338: Li Yuan’s Sleepless Night

Penitence Cliff, night.

The environment here was extremely harsh. Apart from the chilling, piercing wind making “woo-woo” sounds, there was only the loneliness of being alone in the darkness.

Li Yuan, who was locked up here for the first time, couldn’t sleep at all.

“Sigh, in the novel’s plot, being locked in Penitence Cliff was just a brief mention.”

“But now, experiencing the plot firsthand, I realize even one night is hard to endure!”

Bored out of his mind, he couldn’t help but communicate with his system in his mind.

“System, in the original plot, it just briefly mentioned me being locked in Penitence Cliff for a month.”

“It didn’t say what I was doing while confined.”

“So, as long as the protagonists believe I was locked up for a month, it should be fine, right?”

“I don’t actually need to suffer here for a month, do I?”

[……]

[……You’re right in saying that….]

[But you’re following the plot now, how can you slack off?]

[If you accidentally get discovered, it could cause a series of chain reactions, leading to the plot collapsing.]

[So you better be dedicated and play every part of the plot earnestly.]

[Become a stepping stone for the protagonist, getting humiliated daily and helping him conquer the female leads… woo-woo-woo]

“That’s true… Sigh, you’re making good points.”

Li Yuan reluctantly nodded.

Indeed, the story stated that he was wrongfully accused of “peeping at his master bathing” and endured a month of torment on Penitence Cliff.

Once he was finally released, he eagerly wanted to see his goddess, Lin Xixue.

However, upon reaching the Second Peak, he witnessed the male lead, who framed him, being blissfully happy with his beloved and their junior sister—

I did nothing wrong but was locked up in Penitence Cliff.

Yet, you peeped at my master bathing, received no punishment, and even had both of them sitting on your lap, feeding you grapes.

Such disparity and injustice caused his mindset to collapse in extreme unwillingness.

Moreover, if he secretly left Penitence Cliff and got caught by his master, it would be troublesome.

So, it would be better to honestly stay here!

“Just endure it, and it will pass!”

Having made his decision.

Continuing the chat, Li Yuan recalled the system’s peculiar tone earlier, feeling puzzled.

Because hearing that last “woo-woo-woo,” he couldn’t help envisioning a cute girl having her cheeks pinched.

He couldn’t resist asking.

“System, why does your tone sound weird?”

[Does it? Perhaps the host misheard?]

[Xiao… This system’s voice can’t be strange… woo-woo-woo] (tln : She almsot using her name acting like stupid coquetish little sister , pick me up girl)

“……”

It really is strange!

But, before Li Yuan could continue asking, the system quickly explained.

[It’s a bit strange… possibly some issue with the system’s sound effect program!]

[The system will repair it immediately!]

“……”

Alright, hearing the system go silent, Li Yuan turned over on the stone bed.

Closing his eyes, he emptied his mind, trying to force himself to sleep.

——

Meanwhile, on the Second Peak, in his warm room.

Sitting on the bed, Wang Haoran stopped pinching Xiao Xing’s cheeks.

“Xiao Xing is lying!”

[Indeed, Xiao Xing is lying!]

[Ugh… It’s because you’re pinching my cheeks… that’s why my tone sounds strange…]

Besides, those perfunctory words to the host about him following the plot… were all ordered by him!

But now, Xiao Xing didn’t dare complain since her master already knew about her mischief…

“You also lied to me earlier, saying you didn’t know why my Senior Sister hates me. You’re a bad kid!”

“Bad kids deserve punishment!”

[No… I already know I was wrong…]

“No?”

“Hmph, you helped that kid Li Yuan slander me, saying I’m a shameless egotist, and transmitted his slandering thoughts to my Senior Sister’s mind, right?”

Wang Haoran coldly snorted.

“That alone would have been forgivable, but he even said I always grin crookedly!”

“How could I tolerate that?!”

He raised his hand.

Frightened, Xiao Xing lying on the bed immediately covered her already sore little buttocks with her hands, looking pitiful.

[Brother~ I’m sorry~]

[I know I was wrong, please don’t spank me~]

Xiao Xing had tears but no tears.

Her luck was terrible; coming out to work for the first time, she randomly picked a host in this world, planning to achieve great things and earn massive luck points. But instead…

Having not even started earning luck points, she herself ended up enslaved, becoming a servant who must obey everything her master orders!

She initially thought the “original male lead” was a soft, easy-to-handle NPC, but turned out to be a tough nut!

Even such a formidable senior had to obediently follow orders!

Moreover… seeing the senior acting so obedient… the senior must be her master’s servant too…

Hence, the senior had no choice but to deceive her under his orders…

Sigh, ending up in this state was mainly due to her lacking computational capacity… the senior didn’t deceive her with the clear contract documents.

Furthermore, after becoming a servant, the senior kindly advised her on pleasing her master…

Being fellow servants, Xiao Xing felt a natural connection with the senior.

Sighing internally.

Yet outwardly, she began acting cute and coquettish.

[Brother~]

[Don’t be mad at Xiao Xing anymore, okay~]

“……”

“…Alright, this time I’ll let you go, but if there’s a next time, heh, you’re doomed!”

[I understand~]

Next.

Seeing Wang Haoran lying down, Xiao Xing eagerly cuddled up to him.

Remembering her deceitful actions, she also began apologizing internally.

[Host, I’m sorry…]

[I’ve become Brother’s servant… whatever he orders, I must do…]

Even if Brother wanted to sing “Digging in the little garden…,” she’d cheerfully cooperate…

The moment she breached the contract, the obligatory contract took effect, imprinting the “Wang Haoran’s servant” confirmation deep within her code…

Regardless of the command, she’d never think of refusal, only of execution…

[Xiao Xing can’t help you anymore!]

[You have to work hard yourself!]

[Goodbye!]
