System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 63

Chapter 63

◎Do You Want to be Ordered Around So Badly?◎

Yun Wenzhou left without any hesitation.

She opened the door, closed the door, without looking back once or leaving a single word.

Mo Jiu sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the closed door for a while. Then she leaned back, letting herself fall onto the lavish bed.

She turned, hugging the soft bedding, pouting in distress.

Mo Jiu: So, my wife in the first two worlds was so easy to flirt with purely because she was giving me face… How did the real me win her over in reality?

System: The same way as in the first two worlds.

Mo Jiu: What does that mean?

System: Through your inner thoughts.

Mo Jiu: …

How bad must other people’s inner thoughts be for Yun Wenzhou to be so fond of hers?

But that wasn’t the point. The point was that Yun Wenzhou’s mind-reading ability was sealed in this world. Whether she was still interested in her inner thoughts or not, winning her over through them was now impossible.

What should she do?

Mo Jiu: I remember! Xiao Zhou loves my cooking. I’ll personally cook two dishes for her?

System: A Queen Bee personally cooking is a bit OOC… but this world is special. For survival, any attempt that boosts favorability is permitted!

Mo Jiu: Let’s go!

Acting on her thought, Mo Jiu went to the kitchen under the guidance of the System “A-Yan.” She ignored the shocked stares of the Worker Bees and started preparing ingredients on her own.

This world had no humans, only various Zerg-like species.

All Zerg-like species were female, with no gender distinction, only differences in specialization.

Mo Jiu belonged to the Bee Clan. This Bee Clan Empire had three different roles: Queen Bees, Soldier Bees, and Worker Bees.

Only one Queen Bee could exist in a Bee Clan, responsible for reproduction and strengthening the colony.

Soldier Bees were responsible for defending against enemies and expanding territory, accounting for about a tenth of the entire colony.

Worker Bees were responsible for various tasks to maintain the operation of the entire colony and were the most numerous.

Cooking, of course, was done by Worker Bees.

They were terrified by the Queen’s arrival but dared not drive her away, so they could only pace nervously behind Mo Jiu.

Mo Jiu ignored them, skillfully cooking three dishes that the Yun Wenzhou in her memory loved most. She packed them in an exquisite meal box and took them to Yun Wenzhou.

The clan members had various hair colors, some dark, some light, but only Mo Jiu, the Queen Bee, had pure white hair, making her extremely conspicuous everywhere she went.

The System said Yun Wenzhou was at the training ground.

On her way to the training ground, Mo Jiu attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone knelt down and saluted her.

“Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen Bee!”

“Long live Your Majesty the Queen Bee!”

“Pledge your allegiance to Your Majesty the Queen Bee!”

The corners of Mo Jiu’s lips subtly lifted. Her gentle smile illuminated her beautiful face with a brilliant radiance, like a walking sun.

Mo Jiu: I have to say, high status is pretty great.

System: Uh-huh.

Mo Jiu: Everyone likes me, except Xiao Zhou, woo woo woo.

System: Hmm…

Finally, Mo Jiu arrived at the training ground. The moment she stepped in, she undoubtedly captured the attention of all the Soldier Bees training there.

All the Soldier Bees stopped what they were doing, knelt toward her, and greeted her—except Yun Wenzhou.

Yun Wenzhou turned to face her after a while. Even with a frown, her face was beautiful.

Her face was neither too soft nor too sharp, but perfectly balanced between the two.

It was the face of a very charming Eastern beauty.

Her ash-blue long hair always looked freshly combed, neatly draped behind her, with perfectly level ends, giving her a doll-like refinement.

The snow-white military uniform fit perfectly, but even the stiffest material couldn’t hide the proud curve of her chest.

With just one glance, Mo Jiu was countless times captivated by her beauty and figure, mentally proclaiming that her wife was the best!

She ignored the fact that Yun Wenzhou hadn’t saluted her and walked up smiling: “Xiao Zhou, are you hungry now?”

“No,” came the immediate, unequivocal answer.

“…” Mo Jiu’s smile stiffened.

She was completely stumped.

But it was no big deal.

She could still taste it even if she wasn’t hungry.

“I made you something to eat. Care to try? If you like it, I’ll cook it for you every day from now on!” Mo Jiu said, taking the meal box out of the bag and offering it to Yun Wenzhou.

However, Yun Wenzhou didn’t take it.

Yun Wenzhou maintained the pose of looking up at her with her chin slightly raised, only letting her dark red eyes glance down at the meal box with extreme coldness, as if scrutinizing an instrument of torture.

After a long pause, she spoke, saying: “A Supreme Queen Bee claiming others’ work as her own is a loss of dignity.”

It took Mo Jiu a moment to understand what she meant. She refuted her, syllable by syllable: “I, cooked, it, myself.”

Although she was skilled at lying and did so frequently, she was being one hundred percent sincere with this world’s Yun Wenzhou, because she knew that only this way could she win over this obsessive beauty.

So, this was what it felt like to be misunderstood when telling the truth—it was truly unpleasant.

Perhaps it was retribution for telling too many lies in the first two worlds. Even when she was perfectly sincere in this world, she was met with endless suspicion.

After hearing her rebuttal, Yun Wenzhou’s face didn’t change expression, nor did she even blink: “So, not only did you come here to interrupt the Soldier Bees’ training, but you also went to the kitchen to interrupt the Worker Bees’ work.”

Mo Jiu: “…” She wanted to hit someone. No, hit some bees.

Yun Wenzhou: “Because I didn’t give you the reaction you wanted, you’ve decided to tamper with the food? Do you want me to eat it here, or somewhere where only the two of us are present?”

Mo Jiu’s temper…

She had intended to treat Yun Wenzhou gently, but no one could be in a good mood after being questioned like this repeatedly.

You want to be ordered around so badly? Fine.

“Eat it here. Eat it for me right now.” Mo Jiu said this with a cold voice.

System: …Jiu Jiu?

Mo Jiu: Shut up.

Mo Jiu stared at Yun Wenzhou expressionlessly, her dark red eyes, identical to Yun Wenzhou’s, radiating an authority that brooked no resistance.

Yun Wenzhou stared back at her for a moment, then finally lowered her raven-like eyelashes under the pressure she exerted. She said “As you command” and took the meal box.

Her fingers were slender and long, just like her alluring waist.

She unhurriedly opened the meal box, her beautiful face remaining expressionless throughout.

Mo Jiu’s face was also expressionless as she silently handed her the cutlery.

Yun Wenzhou accepted it and took a bite of a random dish.

With just one bite, she froze.

Mo Jiu nervously watched Yun Wenzhou’s face, trying to gauge if her taste had changed based on her expression.

Yun Wenzhou didn’t like food that was too strongly flavored; she preferred mild flavors.

Yun Wenzhou didn’t like food that was too soft or glutinous; she liked things with a bit of chewiness.

Yun Wenzhou liked sweets, but not overly sweet ones.

She wasn’t truly picky and ate everything, but there were only a few things she genuinely liked.

Under Mo Jiu’s watchful eye, after that momentary freeze, Yun Wenzhou chewed the food again and swallowed it.

Then, without any comment, she tasted the other two dishes as well.

After tasting, she tentatively ate a few more bites.

Then a few more bites.

After eating over ten mouthfuls in one go, she seemed to remember something and finally spoke: “When did Your Majesty learn to cook?”

“I learned and cooked it just now,” Mo Jiu said, still a little angry, so her tone was somewhat distant. “I felt you would like it, so I personally cooked it for you.”

“Does Your Majesty have a request for me?”

“What?”

“Why did Your Majesty suddenly cook for me personally?” Yun Wenzhou asked, closing the meal box but not intending to hand it back to Mo Jiu. She simply held it in her hand.

“Do I have to have a request to be nice to you?” Mo Jiu retorted. Then, remembering the memories Yun Wenzhou had been implanted with, she sighed inwardly and, when she spoke again, her tone softened considerably: “If I have to say it, I want to prove that I genuinely like you.”

“I have long known that Your Majesty likes me.”

“Eh?”

“If you didn’t, why would you only bestow your favor upon me?”

“…” Oh, right.

“However, if Your Majesty wishes to toy with my body, all you have to do is ask. Was it necessary to make such a big fuss?”

“Make a big fuss?”

Mo Jiu wanted to argue, but Yun Wenzhou’s gaze swept over the training ground—the Soldier Bees were all still kneeling.

Mo Jiu: “…”

“Your Majesty only needs to send someone to tell me—’Get to my chambers immediately,’ and I will come,” Yun Wenzhou said.

Mo Jiu: …I suspect she wants me to force the issue, but I have no proof.

System: It’s hard to say. Since she can’t hear your inner thoughts now, she doesn’t know what a gentle, kind, and trustworthy woman Jiu Jiu is. So, she might also be being sarcastic.

But regardless, Yun Wenzhou tasted her handmade dishes and seemed to really like them.

Mo Jiu quietly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: “How could I bear to be so rough with you? I told you, from today onward, I will treat you with as much respect and gentleness as possible.”

“Then, may I ask Your Majesty to return to your chambers first? I will come to see you once I have finished today’s training, or if my body feels abnormal. And—please do not interrupt the Worker Bees’ work in the kitchen again.”

“Fine. Since my beautiful and lovely Xiao Zhou said so, I’ll go back first.” Mo Jiu said, turning around happily.

Her white, slightly wavy long hair swept a small arc in the air, shimmering with golden light in the sun.

Yun Wenzhou’s gaze followed her until she completely disappeared from her sight.

After staring in that direction for a while longer, Yun Wenzhou wrapped the meal box and cutlery in the bag, placed them aside, and then carefully checked her body for any changes.

There were no noticeable changes in her body.

Did she really not add anything to the food?

Then, is she trying to use delicious food to give me hope first, then crush me under her heel, and see my despairing breakdown when I realize I’ve been played?

Or… did she discover my plan, and is she trying to compensate through this method because she’s afraid of death?

Forget it. Overthinking is useless. In any case, the plan I’ve already made will not change.

This Empire will ultimately be controlled by her. No one should think of stopping her.
