Chapter 172 Taking Over the Body
Seeing that her first plan had failed to harm Ye Pianran and Ye Yankang, Ye Yingrou devised another wicked scheme. She pulled out a dagger from her bosom, squatted down, and grinned maliciously as she slashed at Ye Pianran's wrist!
[Beep beep beep beep—Level 1 Alert! The host is about to suffer personal injury!! Imminent personal injury!!]
The piercing alarm echoed through the space. 666 watched as the dagger was about to slash Ye Pianran's wrist. Enraged, it let out a clear, long howl, and all the feathers on its body turned into flames, completely enveloping its body.
It's all or nothing! If the mainframe discovers it, so be it. Protecting the host from harm is its ultimate duty as a system!
"Host, 666 is about to take over your body. You will fall into a short period of unconsciousness. Please be prepared!"
Ye Pianran only heard 666 say this sentence in her ear, and then she felt her breath catch in her throat and instantly fell into complete darkness.
The instant she lost consciousness, the spiritual energy in the space surged violently, and 666 transformed into a beam of red light, completely entering her body and successfully taking over her body. When "she" opened her eyes again, her pupils had turned into a thick, dark red. At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly arrived, causing the surface of the lotus pond to ripple violently, the branches to sway, and the dust and fallen leaves on the ground to be swept up by the wind and dance wildly in the air!
Everything happened in an instant. Ye Yingrou's dagger had already touched Ye Pianran's skin, but suddenly a wind rose around the lotus pond. Before she could react, a gust of wind carrying sand and gravel hit her face. Sand entered her eyes without warning, and she cried out in pain. The dagger in her hand immediately veered off course and plunged deep into the mud on the bank.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, 666, who had taken over Ye Pianran's body, gathered his energy and forcefully flung Ye Yankang, whom he was holding, toward the shore.
Ye Yankang's lower body left the water and flew towards the shore like an arrow released from a bow. The howling wind in the air immediately blew to his side, like a big hand, steadily supporting his body.
666 released her grip, letting Ye Pianran's body fall naturally. But the moment she touched the water, she pushed off with her feet, using the water as a medium and the vines growing on the shore to chase after Ye Yankang. Finally, she caught Ye Yankang in mid-air and, with the help of the surrounding gale, landed steadily back on the ground.
666 placed Ye Yankang on the grass some distance from the lotus pond, then his expression hardened and he immediately rushed towards Ye Yingrou.
By the lotus pond, Ye Yingrou finally managed to clear the sand from her eyes. When she opened them, she saw Ye Pianran rushing towards her with a chilling gaze. Her heart pounded wildly, and she immediately raised the dagger in her hand to defend herself.
When she first entered this world, she saved Ji Hongbo and learned a few self-defense martial arts moves from him. She was very confident that she would have the upper hand against Ye Pianran, a pampered young lady who never left her home. But she soon realized that she was wrong.
Every time she thrust her dagger at Ye Pianran, Ye Pianran seemed to see through her moves, not only perfectly dodging her attacks but also subtly forcing her towards the edge of the lotus pond.
Unable to subdue Ye Pianran and with all her escape routes cut off, Ye Yingrou's eyes flashed with cold light. She raised her leg, feigning a kick at Ye Pianran, and while Ye Pianran was blocking, she secretly took out the poison powder she carried with her and sprinkled it on Ye Pianran's face!
But she forgot that the gale over the lotus pond had not yet subsided. The poison powder she had scattered was intercepted by the wind before it even touched Ye Pianran, and instead it flew towards her face!
"Ah—" Ye Yingrou couldn't dodge in time, and the poison powder was blown all over her face by the strong wind. Even though she herself wouldn't be poisoned by the poison she created because she possessed a poison-making system, the poison powder still had a side effect: it corroded the face. After half of Ye Yingrou's face came into contact with the poison powder, it was immediately covered with blisters, as if it had been burned!
But that wasn't the end of it. 666, who had taken over Ye Pianran's body, wouldn't let Ye Yingrou off so easily. Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Yingrou was poisoned, she dodged the dagger in Ye Yingrou's hand and then concentrated all her strength in her palm, striking towards Ye Yingrou's chest!
However, 666 was only in its initial form. Taking over Ye Pianran's body required a huge amount of its energy. The spiritual energy gathered in the space was only enough for it to last until now. When Ye Pianran's palm made contact with Ye Yingrou's chest, the palm force that should have shattered Ye Yingrou's heart meridian was only enough to knock Ye Yingrou off the shore because 666 was short of energy.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Pianran, who had lost the support of 666, also fell into the pool again along with Ye Yingrou.
When Chunyu Yang and An Shihou arrived, they saw Ye Yankang sitting on the shore crying loudly, Ye Pianran pushing Ye Yingrou towards the edge of the pool with one hand, Ye Yingrou tearing off her veil, and Ye Pianran falling into the water herself.
"Tang Li!" Chunyu Yang's expression suddenly changed. Regardless of who was at fault first, he immediately used his lightness skill to rush to the edge of the pool to save Ye Pianran. His lightness skill was superb, and he caught Ye Pianran just before she fell into the water, bringing her back to the shore.
Meanwhile, Ye Yingrou, who was left unattended, actually fell into the water with a loud splash.
On the riverbank, Chunyu Yang knelt on the ground, holding the unconscious Ye Pianran, a rare look of anxiety on his face. He cradled her neck with one hand and checked her pulse with the other, repeatedly calling out softly:
"Tangli, Tangli? Wake up, don't scare me!"
With the veil removed, Ye Pianran's face was revealed, her exquisitely beautiful features as if meticulously sculpted. The place where a hideous "scar" had once appeared was now completely healed, without a trace. Now, with her eyes closed and lying in Chunyu Yang's arms, she appeared even more beautiful, delicate, and incredibly moving.
Chunyu Jing, who arrived here following Chunyu Yang, stared intently at Ye Pianran. His heart felt like it was being gripped by something, its beating no longer its own. Only one thought remained in his mind—
The wound on her face had healed long ago? When did it heal? Why didn't he know?
The guests who followed were all frightened by the chaotic scene. Jingxuan found Ye Pianran lying unconscious in his father's arms and was so frightened that he immediately wanted to run to Chunyu Yang. However, when he saw Ye Yankang sitting on the shore crying loudly, he had no choice but to go back and take care of Ye Yankang.
Wiping away Ye Yankang's tears with his hand, Jingxuan pouted and coaxed, "Kangkang, it's alright, don't cry. Sister is there, shall we go see her?"
Upon hearing Jingxuan's voice, Ye Yankang, who was crying, stopped sobbing. He carefully looked at the person in front of him and, after confirming that it was the familiar Jingxuan, he gripped Jingxuan's hand tightly and mumbled, "A-Sister..."
Noticing Ye Yankang's trembling hands, Jingxuan was heartbroken, but not understanding what had happened, he could only pull Jingxuan to Chunyu Yang's side and whisper to ask what was wrong:
"Father, how is my sister? What happened to her?"
Chunyu Yang raised his head and looked at Anshihou and Chunyu Jing. The murderous intent in his eyes almost made Anshihou collapse to the ground.
Chunyu Shan was clearly calmer than everyone else. He used his fan to lightly support An Shihou's elbow and reminded him:
"My lord, there's another one in the water."
An Shihou came to his senses, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and, under Chunyu Yang's icy gaze, forced himself to order the guards to retrieve Ye Yingrou from the lotus pond.
