The bright moon hangs high, beckoning him down from his pedestal.

"And also, Aruo, the shop is open!" Xiao Jiu immediately brought up a screen that only Shen Qingruo could see. "As the host's luck increases, the more items you can unlock and use, look!"

Shen Qingruo glanced over at first, and was initially curious, but the more she looked, the more her fair face gradually flushed with a light blush.

【Enchanting Eyes: Enhances the allure of your eyes, captivating and mesmerizing with every glance.】

[A melodious voice: Optimized vocals, breath as sweet as orchids, a tingling sensation that penetrates to the bone.]

[Supporting flexibility and grace: Enhancing body flexibility, resulting in a beautiful and delicate posture.]

【Subtle Fragrance: A unique body scent subtly released during intimacy, a perfect way to enhance the experience.】

[Seduction Technique: To master this technique, one must practice in the bedroom...]

[Mastering a Man's Heart: A Comprehensive Guide to Winning Him Over, From Psychological to Physical]

Later on, there were many more options that she didn't dare to look at closely, involving subtle modifications to certain parts of her body.

"Xiao Jiu!" she scolded inwardly, embarrassed and annoyed. "What kind of nonsense is this?"

The orb of light flickered aggrievedly: "What's so messy about this? These are all effective methods for quickly gaining the favor and luck of your target, verified by countless predecessors!"

"Deep affection is fleeting, but clever tactics win hearts, Aruo!"

Shen Qingruo: "..."

She took a deep breath, suppressing the heat on her face, and looked back at the screen. Her gaze swept over the options that had made her blush, and finally settled on some ordinary things.

[Photographic memory], [Chess proficiency], [Medical diagnostic skills], and various small pills...

After reading it, Shen Qingruo seemed thoughtful; the information was quite comprehensive.

She asked Xiao Jiu softly, "What's the situation outside right now?"

The ball of light spun around once, and Xiao Jiu's voice lost its earlier excitement. "Shen Wangxi has already ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Great Zhou."

"He sent people from the desert royal court to bring his beloved queen, Ulan Yun, to the capital and immediately made her empress."

"Shen Jingyan was bestowed the title of Protectorate Princess, and Shen Yinian was granted the title of Carefree Prince..."

Xiao Jiu's voice grew softer and softer, and she seemed to stop speaking, as if she dared not continue.

Shen Qingruo listened quietly, her face expressionless, except for a slight, knowing, self-deprecating smile at the corner of her lips.

"Only I, the hostage sent for a political marriage, don't have any title. I'm still Princess Qingruo, right?" Her voice was light and airy.

"Hmm." Xiao Jiu responded softly, and the light sphere dimmed a bit. Although it was just a system, it inexplicably felt that the high and mighty man was really going too far.

He was the one who sent Aruo away, and Aruo suffered so much. Now that she has finally returned to his side, it's as if he has forgotten her.

Shen Qingruo didn't speak again, but lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes concealing the emotions in her eyes.

Feeling disappointed? Yes, I do.

But more than anything, it was an obvious realization.

Look, whether she exists or not, whether she returns or not, the center of his world will always be those three people.

Looking at her dejected profile, Xiao Jiu felt uneasy and quickly thought of a topic that could cheer her up.

Remembering what she'd bought in the mall, she immediately perked up and said in a cheerful, childlike voice, "Aruo, don't be sad, none of that matters!"

"You don't need to learn those 'soft as a bone' and 'seductive arts' techniques from the mall."

Shen Qingruo was taken aback by the sudden change of topic and raised her eyes.

Xiao Jiu's sphere of light drew closer, her tone tinged with pride: "The body I gave you is something you were born with, far superior to any techniques you learn later. Of course, if you combine the two, it will definitely be even more useful!"

As Shen Qingruo listened to Xiao Jiu's words, she raised her hand and stroked her soft skin. If necessary, would she use her body to compete for that man's attention?

"I understand," she said softly, adding that she didn't have that idea yet.
