System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

◎My Goddess Descended!◎

Mo Jiu released Yun Wenzhou’s chin, pressed her shoulders, and pushed her down onto the bed, her expression a mix of frustration and disappointment.

Even though she knew the girl before her would eventually become the villain who commits all manner of evil, and even though she knew any warning to her would be like a stone thrown into the sea, unable to change the flow of the water, Mo Jiu couldn’t stop herself from questioning her: “Do you sincerely want to be my dog?”

Yun Wenzhou lay completely relaxed on the bed, looking up at Mo Jiu, and responded earnestly: “Yes, I want to be Sister’s dog.”

“Is that so? Then strip naked right now, crawl on the floor on all fours, and I will put a leash on you, take you to the park, and show you to everyone!”

‘Is this really what you want? Don’t be so ridiculous.’

Mo Jiu had to complete the tasks, but that didn’t mean she enjoyed doing them.

No one likes to be constrained. There are only two reasons not to resist: one, accepting the constraint as necessary; two, the cost of resistance is too great.

Mo Jiu didn’t know who created this world or for what reason. Personally, she didn’t believe that the people in this world had to live exactly as written in the book.

However, the consequence of not completing the task might be to vanish from this world forever, so Mo Jiu dared not gamble.

However, only the NPCs have tasks; the main characters in the book do not.

In other words, Yun Wenzhou is actually different from her; she can decide her own future.

Mo Jiu knew her task was to push Yun Wenzhou to become the antagonist, but deep down, she didn’t want her to become the antagonist, nor did she want her to be anyone’s dog.

Caught between reason and emotion, Mo Jiu couldn’t make a choice and could only constantly move between the two, trying to bend the rules wherever possible.

“What’s wrong? Scared? Heh, you call this a ‘good dog’?”

Mo Jiu supported herself with her hands on either side of Yun Wenzhou’s ears, not hiding the contempt on her face.

Yun Wenzhou quietly met her gaze, listening to her inner voice.

‘You’re being sold out and still counting the money for the seller?’

‘You shouldn’t be this foolish.’

Yun Wenzhou sighed inwardly.

Sister is worried about me again. This time, she’s worried about my intelligence.

Is handing over one’s destiny to another person really foolish?

If one didn’t know what kind of person that was, it would indeed be quite foolish.

But Yun Wenzhou knew how gentle Mo Jiu was beneath her fierce exterior.

She was absolutely willing to be Mo Jiu’s dog.

But since expressing it would worry her sister, she decided to keep it in her heart.

And… she truly couldn’t bring herself to be led around by her sister like a dog.

“I’m sorry,” Yun Wenzhou apologized slowly. “I disappointed Sister. Sister, please punish me.”

Mo Jiu: “…”

Talking to a brick wall!

Mo Jiu slapped Yun Wenzhou across the face. Although she only used about one-third of her strength, it still made a crisp smack sound, causing Yun Wenzhou to turn her head to the side.

She wanted Yun Wenzhou to know that constant retreat only invites escalating harm!

But she genuinely couldn’t bring herself to hit her hard, so she only struck this one slap, then turned and left without saying another word.

Yun Wenzhou paused in a daze, then abruptly sat up on the bed, staring at Mo Jiu’s retreating figure.

But no matter how hard she concentrated, she couldn’t hear a single word more from Mo Jiu’s mind.

Is Sister angry?

Did I say something wrong again?

But…

Yun Wenzhou raised her hand and touched her cheek. The place Mo Jiu had slapped didn’t hurt at all, just felt a little warm.

She then touched the soft collar around her neck, gently rubbing the small silver heart with her index finger and thumb.

Sister is still so perfunctory when hitting people.

No matter how fierce her tone, her actions are gentle.

How is she supposed to resist?

If given another chance, she would still say the same thing, and then, she would be slapped again.

Seven years flashed by. As Mo Jiu and Yun Wenzhou matured, their features and figures had developed significantly.

Especially Yun Wenzhou. Seven years ago, she was as thin as a stick. Now, under Mo Jiu’s persistent “forced tasting,” she had a slender yet relatively full figure, and the curves on her chest made Mo Jiu feel inadequate.

Mo Jiu gradually adapted to life in this world and updated her wardrobe.

She preferred pants over skirts; skorts were also acceptable.

Her shoulder-length hair was tied into a short ponytail at the back of her head, neat and refreshing.

After Yun Wenzhou’s physical development became noticeable, she stopped wearing pajamas even when staying home and instead wore various styles of dark long dresses, constantly appearing before Mo Jiu. The choker around her neck also changed styles daily—all gifted by Mo Jiu.

The master dressing up her doll, isn’t that perfectly reasonable?

The System truly couldn’t find any fault, and even regarded the act of gifting chokers as effective harm, rewarding Mo Jiu.

System: Congratulations, you have cumulatively caused 500 instances of harm to the target. You have been awarded 100 reward points. Some items have been added to the Mall. Please check.

Mo Jiu mentally opened the Mall panel to check.

Current Reward Points: 5,000

Available Items for Exchange:

• One Unit of local general currency (1)

• One Recovery Potion (10)

• One Supply Pack (50)

• One Enhancement Potion (100)

• One Special Weapon (500)

• One Superpower (1000)

• Open Storage Space (5000)

What’s in the Supply Pack? Mo Jiu asked the System curiously.

System: “Food, water, clean clothes, fire-starting materials, a sleeping bag, and some random items, including but not limited to sturdy ropes, mosquito repellent, and pots and pans.”

Mo Jiu: “Sounds like something used for wilderness survival… What about the Special Weapon? What is it? What makes it special?”

System: “Special Weapons primarily refer to enchanted weapons. Different enchantments can effectively target different attribute enemies. The specific weapon drawn is based on luck, but it will be constrained by the world’s setting framework. For example, there is no magic in this world, so you can only draw technological weapons, such as a laser gun.”

Mo Jiu: “Ah? This world has laser guns? Oh right, it is a future setting after all…”

Mo Jiu thought this, then suddenly felt something strange.

She only had memories of this world. Logically, no matter how technologically advanced this world was, it was her present. Why did she have the concept that “laser guns are future weapons”?

She was only momentarily puzzled and didn’t pay too much attention to it, continuing to ask other questions.

Mo Jiu: “Is there a size limit to the Storage Space?”

System: “No.”

Mo Jiu: “Can it be carried over to the next world?”

System: “Yes, but you cannot retrieve items that do not conform to the current world setting. For instance, you cannot retrieve high-tech products from a futuristic sci-fi world in a fictional ancient world.”

Mo Jiu: “I understand.”

Hearing all this, the Mall feature seemed quite convincing. Can it really be used?

Mo Jiu: “I just want to confirm, is this Mall feature available to all NPCs, or only specific ones?”

System: “Information confirming… Confirmation failed. Cannot answer.”

Fine.

Too suspicious.

Mo Jiu wouldn’t touch this Mall even if she was killed.

Yun Wenzhou pulled on her black stockings and went to the full-length mirror to examine herself.

Her long, raven-black hair hung straight to her waist. Her bangs were a bit long, but they didn’t obstruct her vision; they could be trimmed later.

The black, form-fitting dress showed off her graceful waist perfectly. The hem fell below her knees, giving a sense of composure and restraint.

She tucked the hair on the side of her face behind her ear, tilted her head to examine her profile, and struck a few poses. As she admired herself in the mirror, she wondered if being entirely in black made her look too gloomy.

Yun Wenzhou liked black. She liked the feeling of being wrapped and swallowed by the night, because at night, she didn’t have to face the deliberate cruelty of that couple, and instead received her sister’s secret care.

Moreover, the dark attire highlighted the decoration in the middle of the collar around her neck. The gold was noble, the silver was pure, like a star in the night sky—dazzling, tranquil, and comforting.

After confirming her outfit was perfect, she left the room, pretending to be nonchalant, but very deliberately—walking past Mo Jiu in the living room.

Mo Jiu looked up, frowned, and then looked down, displaying an expression as if she had just seen garbage.

But her inner voice was: ‘My Goddess Descended! She really suits wearing black, doesn’t she?’

Yun Wenzhou raised the corner of her lips in satisfaction, failing to hear Mo Jiu’s next inner thought: As expected of the great antagonist, her aura must be 8.1 meters wide!

And at the same time, Yun Wenzhou was also complimenting Mo Jiu wildly in her heart—Sister is so beautiful. Sister’s aura is so unique. I want to stick close to Sister!

Mo Jiu was wearing very trendy hot clothes and shorts, covered with a jacket full of personality, unzipped to reveal her slender but not weak waist. She was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, her posture lazy and casual.

Yun Wenzhou poured herself a glass of water, constantly observing Mo Jiu out of the corner of her eye.

It wasn’t until she turned to go back to her room that she noticed her nominal adoptive father looking at her with a very filthy gaze.

If it were just the gaze, it would be one thing, but his inner thoughts were equally unclean.

‘She really is that person’s daughter. She has some looks. I really want to…’

Yun Wenzhou felt a wave of nausea.

A pig in human skin, rotten from the inside out. I really want to kill him.

However, this gave her a good reason to act spoiled toward her sister.

She wondered what her sister’s reaction would be when she learned what her father was thinking.

So, in the evening, Yun Wenzhou deliberately changed into a light, thin nightgown and knocked on Mo Jiu’s door.

“Who is it?” Mo Jiu called out impatiently. She opened the door and was momentarily stunned when she saw Yun Wenzhou.

Yun Wenzhou’s clothes for going out were mostly black, but her pajamas were white, quite transparent. The view beneath the fabric was vaguely visible, making the black choker on her neck exceptionally conspicuous.

Looking at Yun Wenzhou like this, Mo Jiu felt a subtle sense of discomfort, but she didn’t think Yun Wenzhou wore it on purpose to seduce her. After all, her attitude towards Yun Wenzhou over the years had been far from kind. Yun Wenzhou not tearing her limb from limb in her mind was already a good outcome.

So, while internally sighing, ‘Questioning King Zhou, understanding King Zhou’, she snapped at Yun Wenzhou: “What are you doing in my room late at night? Are you feeling itchy and want a beating again?”

Yun Wenzhou raised one hand to press her chest, successfully drawing Mo Jiu’s gaze there. Lowering her head, she spoke in a very wronged tone: “Sister, lately Dad’s eyes look so strange when he looks at me. He always stares at my chest… Is it my fault?”

What!

Mo Jiu forced herself to look away from Yun Wenzhou’s chest, filled with righteous indignation.

‘Beast! Why doesn’t he hurry up and die!’

However, according to the news broadcast, the meteor impact is less than three days away.

Her nominal parents, and herself, are indeed not far from death.
