She Said That Kisses and Hugs Are Needed for Redemption [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1

“Binding confirmed. Host’s vital signs stable. All systems normal.”

Her head felt heavy, her eyelids like lead. Lu Xi struggled to open her eyes but found her body weak and immobile. The surrounding silence made it impossible to discern her location, save for the monotonous mechanical voice echoing in her mind.

“Hello, Host. I am your mission system, codename 001. Of course, you can also call me by my full name, Handsome One.”

As the electronic voice faded, Lu Xi felt strength returning to her body, spreading through her limbs. Her fingers twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Before her lay what appeared to be a long-abandoned mountaintop, devoid of towering trees, only waist-high weeds shimmering with eerie halos in the dim twilight.

Pushing herself up, Lu Xi glanced around before recalling the voice in her head. She frowned slightly and murmured, “001?”

Instantly, the electronic voice responded, this time with a hint of warmth. “Here. Awaiting your orders, Host.”

Now Lu Xi was certain something was inside her mind. And it sounded exactly like the so-called “systems” from the novels she’d read before.

The thought had barely formed when a sharp pain exploded in her forehead, as if struck by a heavy object and then torn by claws.

Cold sweat beaded on her brow, and she collapsed back onto the ground, powerless against the relentless agony. Along with the pain came a flood of strange, fragmented memories forcibly crammed into her mind.

A long while later, the memory transfer completed.

The familiar electronic voice returned, now with a playful tone. “Heh heh heh, let me reintroduce myself your mission system, 001.”

“I’ve just uploaded all the necessary data into your brain. Heh heh heh. Now you know what you’re supposed to do, right?”

The mountain wind was cold, chilling Lu Xi’s heart even further.

Well, it turned out she really was dead. And now she was bound to a mission system tasked with saving corrupted female antagonists. Only after completing all the missions could she be reborn.

“Right now, we’re in the novel Divine Fall. Your target is the supporting female character, Fu Lancen.” As the system spoke, Lu Xi quickly skimmed through the book’s plot in her mind.

After grasping the general premise, she swiftly accepted the reality of transmigrating into a novel and her current identity as an immortal.

Glancing down at her wide-sleeved robes, she flicked her wrist, the fabric fluttering gracefully.

Hmm, as expected of an immortal just a casual wave summoned an ethereal breeze.

“The main mission is about to begin,” 001’s voice chimed in. “Are you ready?”

Lu Xi nodded. In the blink of an eye, the mountaintop grasses swayed faintly and she was gone.

Year 17,695 of the Divine Calendar.

The long-quiet Divine Realm finally buzzed with excitement. The highly revered Divine Lord Qiran was about to marry none other than the youngest daughter of the ancient Nine-Tailed Fox clan of Qingqiu.

Both Divine Lord Qiran and the Nine-Tailed Foxes held significant influence in the Divine Realm, making this wedding an extraordinarily grand and lively affair.

Across the four seas and eight wildernesses, all the distinguished figures arrived a day or two early at Qingqiu or the Nine Heavens to offer their congratulations, eager to witness the grandeur of such a joyous occasion.

Qingqiu was adorned in festive splendor.

The rolling green mountains were decorated with red silk and vibrant colors, while bells hanging from the branches chimed crisply in the gentle breeze. The cheerful jingling filled the air with an atmosphere of celebration.

Guests mingled with laughter, admiring the rare beauty of Qingqiu while occasionally glancing toward the entrance, as if awaiting the arrival of the elusive deity who would come to fetch his bride.

In stark contrast to the lively bustle of the front mountains, the back mountains were desolate and bleak. Deep within the uninhabited dense forest, not a single bird or beast could be seen, and even the chirping of insects was absent.

Suddenly, a faint whimper of a small creature drifted through the cold wind.

Lu Xi, who had cast an invisibility spell, furrowed her brows slightly. Prompted by 001, she continued forward and eventually landed gracefully by a small stream.

By the damp bank lay a disheveled little beast. Its once-powerful claws seemed to have been stripped of their sharp nails, and dark red blood oozed out, staining the dull white fur around them.

Too weak to hold itself up, the creature rested its head on its front paws. Its long, curled lashes fluttered incessantly, likely due to the unbearable pain from its wounded claws.

Hearing movement nearby, the little beast trembled all over before mustering the strength to half-open its eyes.

Lu Xi froze in place.

She couldn’t quite describe the eyes she was seeing. They seemed to shimmer with scattered, gentle light, reflecting the ripples of the stream. The swirling reflections in the twilight disturbed the calm waters of her heart.

It was the first time she had ever seen such beautiful eyes so radiant they could rival the brightest moon, captivating enough to steal one’s soul.

“Hey! Snap out of it!” 001 hadn’t expected her to lose her composure the moment she laid eyes on the supporting character, Fu Lancen. “Get a grip! Recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra so you don’t fall under the bewitching spell of a nine-tailed fox.”

Nine-tailed foxes were born with the innate ability to enchant, though those of the ancient noble clans never actively used it to manipulate others. Still, their long, alluring fox eyes had a mesmerizing effect, an inborn trait. To avoid being easily swayed, one simply shouldn’t stare into a fox’s eyes for too long.

Lu Xi, a mere transmigrator with divine power and memories, had nearly succumbed.

Clutching her pounding chest, she slowly revealed herself under the little fox’s bewildered gaze.

The fox’s furry ears twitched involuntarily. It struggled with its front paws but still couldn’t stand.

Its slender muzzle parted slightly, emitting a low growl of warning.

Deprived of her voice and all divine power, Fu Lancen had no idea who this stranger was. But anyone who could slip unnoticed into Qingqiu’s forbidden back mountains was no ordinary being.

Could it be that those deranged people had returned to extract more of her essence-blood to offer to her cousin, who had already taken her place in the Nine Heavens?

She was terrified.

Her body was already on the verge of collapse. If they took more blood now, she would surely perish here.

But she hadn’t yet taken her revenge, how could she just vanish into nothingness without justice?!

The fox’s alluring eyes were now brimming with wariness and a desperate, overwhelming fury. Lu Xi was certain that if she showed even the slightest hint of killing intent, this little fox at her feet would fight back with its life.

After gazing down for a long while, Lu Xi lightly raised her arm, and a pale glow flew from her fingertips, landing on the little fox’s forehead. It momentarily eased the creature’s pain and immobilized its body.

As expected, the immobilized fox bared its teeth in frustration, its throat emitting hoarse growls almost as if it were cursing her?

Seeing this, Lu Xi arched a brow, lifted the hem of her robe, and crouched before the disheveled fox. Then, under the fox’s warning glare, she extended a hand with a faint smile.

Carefully touching the dry, lackluster fur, she shook her head, her tone tinged with pity. “Little fox, there are many ways to seek revenge.”

Having her head touched, Fu Lancen trembled all over, her fox eyes nearly spitting fire. If not for her inability to speak, her dissipated divine power, and the mysterious woman’s restraints, she would have snapped that offending hand in an instant!

Noticing the turbulent emotions in the fox’s eyes, Lu Xi continued downward, stroking the messy fur along its back. “Do you know that mutual destruction is the stupidest method of all?”

“Whimper,” Fu Lancen felt a faint, soothing energy seep into her body through the gentle touch, easing the pain that had tormented her for so long.

Regaining some strength, she instinctively tried to retreat, to distance herself from this enigmatic and dangerous woman.

Detecting heightened wariness and a trace of confusion in the fox’s eyes, Lu Xi withdrew her spellcasting hand and extended it toward the little fox instead. “I happen to be free lately. Why not come with me? I’ll help you get your revenge.”
