After the Second Playthrough, the CP-Less Female Lead Kneels and Begs Me for Forgiveness [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 50.2

The System was not interested in talking to Pei Ming. She extended her hand, and a massive amount of energy gathered in her palm. The sheer power contained within finally made Pei Ming panic.

Her calm facade broke, and her expression turned cold and sinister. “Damn it, what on earth are you!” She finally dropped the act.

With a flick of the System’s hand, the energy shot toward Pei Ming. Feeling this power that clearly didn’t belong to a mortal, Pei Ming’s entire body went rigid.

Pei Ming closed her eyes; she couldn’t move at all.

Shao Xibei watched as the System’s power clearly struck Pei Ming, but it seemed to be blocked by something, causing her no harm.

The System narrowed her eyes. Is it the World Consciousness? Is it protecting its protagonist because I tried to harm her?

Pei Ming slowly opened her eyes. Realizing she wasn’t hurt, she took a deep breath.

She tried to remain nonchalant: “It seems I overestimated you.”

No one responded.

The System didn’t actually have much power left, but this was merely a world that had just ascended to a “Low-Martial” level.

In a High-Martial world like a cultivation realm, she might have been helpless. But for this world, her current strength was enough.

She remembered all of Pei Xi’s memories.

The System gathered energy in her hand again, though this time it wasn’t harmful.

Her power condensed into a thin thread, binding Pei Ming tightly.

In the face of an enemy many times stronger than oneself, maintaining combat effectiveness is a difficult feat.

Pei Ming had already lost her will to fight. She allowed the System to drag her along, her previous air of indifference completely vanished.

Lying on the System’s back, Shao Xibei caught a glimpse of Pei Ming’s desolate state and finally felt a sense of relief. The System is truly amazing; let’s see this person try to act superior again.

However, at the thought of Pei Xi, Shao Xibei couldn’t help but sigh. Carried steadily by the System, she leaned into the System’s ear and whispered, “System, what will happen to Pei Xi?”

The System replied, “I am her, and she is me.”

Shao Xibei murmured in response, “How can that be the same?”

“Why is it different? Does the feeling of kissing change?”

!!! Shao Xibei was shocked. What did the System just say? For a moment, she couldn’t wrap her head around it.

The air fell silent. The two completely forgot that Pei Ming was still tied up behind them.

The System brought them before Pei Qing. His limbs were still firmly pinned to the wall, right where they had been for a long time. With a flick of the System’s finger, Pei Ming was brought directly in front of him.

Pei Ming’s face was pale. “What are you doing?”

System: “Just returning things to their rightful owner.”

As if realizing something, cold sweat poured down Pei Ming’s face. “No… no… Pei Xi, I am your sister.”

The System ignored her. A ball of light exploded in her hand, covering both Pei Ming and Pei Qing. “Analyzing target. Power transfer initiated.”

Within the light, Pei Ming shrieked: “No! Stop!”

When the light vanished, Pei Qing had become a withered corpse, the disgusting human faces no longer on his body. Conversely, Pei Ming had now transformed into that same repulsive state Pei Qing once held.

System: “These people died because of you. Now, it is merely returned to the original owner.”

Pei Ming was driven to the brink of madness. Looking at the hideous human faces on her body, she snarled and lunged at the System, but she was tied so tightly she couldn’t move.

She collapsed to the ground, laughing and crying hysterically. “Hahaha! It was me! I instructed Pei Qing to bite people everywhere; I refined the souls of those people!”

“My mother was refined by me, everything in Yuzhou City was my doing!”

“Hahahaha! I love watching people die!”

The System, annoyed by the noise, simply gagged Pei Ming’s mouth. Pei Ming could no longer be considered human.

Suddenly, dark clouds surged in the sky, and lightning rolled within them. It was a Heavenly Punishment.

The System wasn’t worried; this punishment wasn’t for her, but for Pei Ming. She carried Shao Xibei a bit further away. Shao Xibei patted the System’s shoulder, signaling to be let down, but the System pretended not to notice and even adjusted her grip to hold Shao Xibei more securely.

Thunder rolled. Boom!

A bolt of purple lightning struck Pei Ming’s head. She screamed. One after another, the bolts struck her body. She collapsed, wailing in agony—but this was merely the consequence of her own actions. Harming her family wasn’t enough; she had plagued countless innocent people.

After nine bolts of lightning fell, the clouds dispersed. Pei Ming’s exterior was charred black. Shao Xibei wondered if she had been struck dead.

As if reading her mind, the System said, “She isn’t dead. The lightning just stripped her of her power. She can never use Daoist arts again; she is no different from an ordinary person.”

With the matter settled, Shao Xibei stopped insisting on walking. Having someone carry her was a nice change of pace.

As they left the Pei Mansion, Shao Xibei asked, “System, we should be leaving this world soon, right?”

System: “It’s time to get married.”

!!! What nonsense was the System spouting now!

Shao Xibei struggled to break free, and the System sighed, finally letting her down. Shao Xibei circled around to face her. “System, is your core broken?”

The System lowered her gaze, staring at Shao Xibei’s lips. Without a word, she leaned down and gave them a light peck. “It’s not broken. You were the one who said it back then.”

Shao Xibei covered her mouth, stuttering, unable to form words.

The System frowned at the gesture. “Why could Pei Xi kiss you, but I can’t? I’ll say it again: she and I are the same person.”

The System took Shao Xibei’s hand and led her out of the city. Shao Xibei’s head was spinning. If the System and Pei Xi were the same, and Pei Xi liked her… did that mean the System liked her too?

The thought made her head spin even more, but she couldn’t deny it made her happy.

Wait, she realized, doesn’t that mean the System remembers how she used to act spoiled with me?

Instantly, her train of thought veered off track. She leaned in with a grin. “Hey, ‘System-ie,’ do you remember how you used to act spoiled before?”

“Sister Shao, I—” Before Shao Xibei could finish, the System silenced her with a kiss.

The System cupped the back of her head. This time, it wasn’t just a light peck. It was deep, stirring, and lingering. It left Shao Xibei feeling numb all over. Unable to take it, she pushed the System away.

As their lips parted, the System remained perfectly composed. “Every time you mention it, I will kiss you.”

With her lips and cheeks flushed, Shao Xibei replied, “I… I won’t say it anymore.” She had truly felt like she might suffocate in that kiss.

Even after they passed through the gates of Yuzhou City, Shao Xibei’s face remained red. The “after-effects” were too strong.

Outside, she saw Xiao Hui waiting. The wolf spotted her instantly but seemed hesitant, pacing in place. Shao Xibei realized it was likely because of the System’s presence.

“Don’t be afraid, Xiao Hui. She’s still the same person,” Shao Xibei said, approaching and stroking the wolf’s head.

Xiao Hui let out a soft whine, still a bit cautious. The System scanned the wolf. “Race analysis: Cloud Wolf. A high-plane combat pet.”

Shao Xibei was stunned. “Xiao Hui is from a high plane?”

The System nodded. “It likely fell through a space-time rift by accident. The spiritual energy in this world is too low, so it grew to look like an ordinary wolf.”

“No wonder Xiao Hui is so intelligent.”

Xiao Hui: “Awooo~”

System: “Let’s go. To Chestnut Town.”

Two people, a wolf, and a horse embarked on the journey home. The return trip was much shorter thanks to the “bug-like” existence of the System.

After a day of traveling in the heat, they found a clear pool of water. Shao Xibei immediately tried to pull the System in for a swim.

The System was reluctant at first, no matter what Shao Xibei said. So, Shao Xibei stripped and jumped in herself. After a while, the System finally entered the water, though unlike the naked Shao Xibei, she kept on a thin layer of inner clothing.

Shao Xibei, unaware of the impending “danger,” playfully splashed water at the System. “Hehe, wash your face!”

The System watched the bright smile before her, her eyes darkening. Shao Xibei turned her back to the System, splashing water on her own face. “Phew, that feels so good.”

Suddenly, a pair of gentle hands wrapped around her waist. The fabric of the System’s damp clothes pressed against her bare back, accompanied by hot breath against her neck.

“I want to kiss you.”

The low, husky voice made Shao Xibei’s ears tingle. She finally realized she was in trouble, but it was too late. The System turned her around so they were face-to-face. Under the System’s intense gaze, Shao Xibei involuntarily licked her lips.

The System leaned in, their breaths entwining. Holding Shao Xibei’s back and the back of her head, she kissed her deeply, her tongue exploring without restraint. After a long while, the System pulled back, moving instead to kiss her slender neck.

“Mmm~” Shao Xibei let out a soft hum, feeling the ticklish sensation.

The System looked up and sat her on the edge of the pool, gripping her waist. She returned to her neck, sucking and licking as if the skin were a rare delicacy.

“Can I?” the System suddenly asked, looking up at her.

Shao Xibei looked down at her. There was no denying she was moved, and the System looked incredibly charming in the water. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She nodded, then shook her head, then nodded again.

A smile played in the System’s eyes. “I understand.”

Before Shao Xibei could ask what she meant, the System bit her earlobe. Shao Xibei’s toes curled; the warm, wet sensation sent a flush across her face. The System’s tongue traced the shell of her ear while her teeth lightly grazed the lobe. Her hands roamed with a light touch, her callused palms sending shivers through Shao Xibei’s body.

Eventually, Shao Xibei’s eyes grew rimmed with red, unable to take much more.

Seeing this, the System sighed. If she was like this at this level, what would happen later? She pulled Shao Xibei into a hug, resting her head on her shoulder.

“Next time, okay?”
