The male supporting character was actually myself.

Her eyes lit up with a sudden idea, and she lazily stretched before replying, "What do you mean by that?"

Shen Xuhe: ? ? ?

What does "what does it mean" mean?

Are you out of your mind? Can't you even understand what I'm saying? I'm just asking how you're feeling...

"Miss Mu suddenly fainted earlier. How are you feeling now that you've woken up?" he asked patiently again.

"Not good at all." Mu Liuli leaned lazily against the headboard and said coldly, "You're a medical martial artist, shouldn't you be the one to diagnose and tell me about my condition? I already know the specifics myself, what use are you?"

Shen Xuhe clearly hadn't expected to be rebuked. His face, which was no longer young and was nearing forty, twitched slightly as he said in a deep voice, "I've had a check-up, and Miss Mu is perfectly fine. I heard that you were struck by lightning and taken to the hospital, so you probably haven't fully recovered yet. You should be fine after a few days of rest."

"What do you mean 'should be fine'? Do you even know how to diagnose a patient?" Mu Liuli immediately seized on the flaw in his words and began to attack relentlessly. "Our Mu family gives you so much money, is that all you're supposed to do is fool people like this? You haven't even diagnosed the illness properly. What if you delay my best treatment time? You're such a traitor, an ungrateful wretch!"

"What did you say?!" Shen Xuhe's face immediately darkened.

Having neither a background nor financial resources, I have indeed been able to earn enough to live comfortably and cultivate properly by working for the Mu family these past few years. But I am certain that I have lived up to my salary and have done my best for the health of the entire Mu family without ever being negligent.

In her words, however, she herself became a treacherous ingrate who held a position without contributing anything!

[Ding! You have successfully broken Shen Xuhe's defenses with your words. Shen Xuhe's favorability towards you has decreased to -5 points.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: 1 Beginner Mandala Qi Refining Pill.]

Qi Refining Pill?!

Upon finally seeing the precious pill reward, Mu Liuli's eyes lit up.

She then understood the system's operating rules—it had little impact on ordinary people doing bad things, so the rewards were ordinary; as long as a martial artist's defenses could be broken, the quality of the rewards would increase dramatically!

It seems that if I have the chance, I should target martial artists; that way, I can get better rewards.

Mu Liuli became increasingly pleased with herself and began to make preliminary plans for becoming stronger by doing bad things.

"If you have nothing else to say, then get lost. I need to rest properly. Heh, you poor piece of trash who can't even establish your foundation at your age. While those old fogies in our Mu family haven't seen through your deception, hurry up and enjoy your luxurious life while you cultivate properly, lest you die as nothing more than a Qi Refining Realm waste!"

[Ding! Shen Xuhe's favorability towards you has decreased to -15 points.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: the first volume of the beginner-level martial arts technique, Ice-Breaking Fist.]

A few words were enough to make Shen Xuhe turn pale with anger. He picked up his medicine box, turned around, and left.

"You ungrateful wretch, you're feeling guilty now that I've exposed your true colors, aren't you? It's good that you're feeling guilty. You should be grateful that I'm being so magnanimous as to not expose you!" Mu Liuli still displayed a vicious expression.

But he knew that he was still kind at heart.

I'm sorry, Dr. Shen. If it weren't for the stench system binding me and forcing me to be a villain, I would have wanted to be a good person who reformed after taking over this body and being given a second chance at life.

Unfortunately, I had no choice.

Mu Liuli took out the reward given by the system and laughed happily.

"System, tell me what these two rewards are for?" she asked in a low voice.

[Elementary Mandala Qi Refining Pill - A basic pill made from mandala flowers in the Western Regions. After taking it, martial artists in the Qi Refining stage can eliminate all hidden dangers in their bodies and gain a stronger physique, laying the most solid foundation for Foundation Establishment.]

The First Volume of the Elementary Martial Arts Technique: Ice-Breaking Fist – A precious martial art that, upon mastering, grants the power to shatter an iceberg with a single punch. Of course, this is contingent upon the host's cultivation reaching a certain level to truly break the iceberg. The technique's power will automatically evolve and increase as the host's strength grows.

"Hiss... This is a good thing!" Mu Liuli swallowed the fragrant pill in one gulp, thinking that she no longer had to worry about the aftereffects of being struck by lightning, and could now plan how to do evil and earn more rewards.

Since waking up, his foul mouth has offended many people. He must seize the time to use the system to become stronger, otherwise he will have no power to resist the revenge of those hypocritical guys.

Become stronger! Becoming stronger at all costs is the most important thing right now!

As for the martial arts skills, they are indeed worthy of being a reward for breaking through ten points of a martial artist's defense; they are far superior to any pills that could be swallowed.

To be honest, the system is a bit disgusting, but it only said a few light words and didn't even hit me in the face, yet I got a martial arts manual. This system is too honest!

It should be noted that even in the most powerful families in Wuhai City, a basic martial arts technique that can evolve as one's strength grows can become a family heirloom.

Besides a few basic martial arts manuals, the family also has two more precious low-level martial arts manuals, but none of them can evolve with strength. They are all trash that becomes insignificant after passing this stage.

Even so, the few martial arts manuals in the family are only allowed to be practiced by direct descendants after they have successfully established their foundation.

Despite being the eldest elder's most beloved only daughter, someone even the family head had to show her leniency towards, she still couldn't obtain the qualification to learn basic martial arts techniques.

"Hmph, I don't care to learn your trashy martial arts!" Mu Liuli looked at the book in her hand, her big eyes crinkling with laughter.

He can gain more practical and evolving martial arts techniques simply by cursing a few people, which is far superior to the trash that his family treasures. As long as he learns the Ice-Shattering Fist, he can use it indefinitely!

However, now is not the time to delve into cultivation. After all, my rewards are far too meager. I need to get more good stuff from the stinky system first. Maybe I won't even need to cultivate hard myself; I can just get some kind of double reward or insight and directly comprehend the essence, doubling my strength.

With this in mind, Mu Liuli first put the martial arts manual back into her system inventory, and then seriously considered who to target.

Those martial artists in the family?

She frowned slightly and shook her head, rejecting the idea. The rewards for martial artists to do bad things were high, but the risks were also relatively great.

Especially since the original owner was too vicious, relying on the title of the Grand Elder to bully his peers every day, they must have a high resistance to harming him, and no matter how foul his mouth was, it would be difficult for them to break through his defenses.

Mu Liuli was sure she could fight back, but she was worried about what would happen if the other party got pushed to the limit and fought back.

You should know that apart from the original owner of the Mu family who was good for nothing, all the other members of the Mu family cultivated very seriously and were all stronger than her!

"Slow is fine, at least it's safe." After thinking for a few seconds, she decided who to target and muttered to herself, "I'm sorry, Dr. Su, I really had no choice. Who told you to be such a wicked doctor who disregards human life and end up in my hands? I have no choice but to reluctantly take up the mantle of justice."

"Someone come here!" After making up her mind, Mu Liuli called out to the door.

Soon, guards entered the bedroom, respectfully waiting for the young lady's instructions.

Hey?

Mu Liuli's eyes lit up when she saw the person who had arrived!

She's a stunning beauty!

She immediately recognized the person from the original owner's memories—Lan Ying, a powerful assassin and bodyguard personally trained by the old man with kidney deficiency for his precious daughter, who was two years older than her.

Since transmigrating, she has been led by the nose by the stinky system and has not had time to sort out the specific situation.

Upon seeing Lan Ying, Mu Liuli's mouth practically watered.

That's absolutely fantastic!

Look at her delicate face, cold as ice, the contrast between her beauty and her icy temperament is truly alluring;

She also has a tall figure, long and powerful legs, and a perfect physique unique to martial artists with not an ounce of excess fat. It's amazing!

"Hiss..." She licked her lips and sucked away the drool that had spilled out, thinking to herself that she had always liked women, and it just so happened that a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged bodyguard had come to her door. The original owner had done something good.

I just don't know how loyal she really is to me, or whether she'll willingly let me...

Mu Liuli's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and she beckoned with her finger, saying in a lighthearted tone, "Come here!"

Upon hearing this, the loyal Lan Ying stepped forward and stood by the bedside with even greater respect. "What are your orders, Miss?"

"Snapped!"

She was met with a resounding slap, and a red handprint immediately appeared on Lan Ying's fair face.

[Ding! You even maliciously beat up your loyal and devoted henchman; you are truly heartless.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: the second volume of the beginner-level martial arts technique, Ice-Breaking Fist.]

Wow, that's awesome!

Mu Liuli was so excited she felt like she could fly. A slap not only gave her a martial arts manual but also tested the loyalty of her assassins—it was truly killing two birds with one stone.

Such a loyal assassin, the reward for killing him would be quite generous, right?

No, no, no, she immediately shook her head, rejecting her own idea. Such a beautiful, loyal, and powerful assassin should definitely be kept close and properly cared for; killing her would be such a waste…

"Miss, did I do something wrong?" Lan Ying asked cautiously, her left cheek burning with pain.

Mu Liuli snorted coldly, "Where were you when I was struck by lightning on the street today? Why didn't you protect me closely?"

Lan Ying was clearly prepared for her misdeeds, and bowed even lower upon hearing this, "I'm sorry. But Miss instructed me to keep an eye on Miss Liuyue, so I couldn't go shopping with you."

Oh right, Mu Liuli suddenly remembered that the original owner had been eyeing Mu Liuyue, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, so she sent her most loyal servant, Lan Ying, to keep an eye on her...

That doesn't stop me from venting my anger.

"Snapped!"

Mu Liuli slapped Lan Ying again, and the other half of Lan Ying's face also became red and swollen.

However, this time the system remained silent. Damn, what a stingy and disgusting system!

However, Lan Ying's words reminded him that the elegant young lady was also a rare beauty. If he could find an opportunity to cultivate her into his devoted admirer...

"As my personal bodyguard, it's your fault for not protecting my safety!" Mu Liuli snorted coldly and ordered, "You know which hospital I checked into today, right?"

Ha, the attending physician, Su Wenzhou, is a bastard who treats human life like dirt.

Find a few reliable guys to bring Su Wenzhou's parents back and imprison them in the dungeon. I want to interrogate them myself.

Furthermore, send men to ambush and capture Su Wenzhou as well, imprisoning him in the water dungeon. I want them, his family of three, to witness the other's suffering and be powerless to help!

Upon hearing what was said, Lan Ying immediately pictured the handsome face of Dr. Su, a famous doctor in Wuhai City. She thought her young mistress had taken a liking to that doctor, who was hailed as a genius, and wanted to snatch him back. But she never expected that her young mistress would actually arrest the entire family of three for interrogation.

"Miss, that's the famous Dr. Su. If we arrest him and use torture on him, it will be..."

"Boom!"

Before she could finish her worried words, Mu Liuli kicked her in the chest, sending her back two steps.

Mu Liuli felt the soft, springy touch under her feet and coldly snorted, "Is this any of your business? Do your job!"

"Yes." Lan Ying accepted the order and left.

She didn't get to hear the system's reward notification, and grumbled under her breath, rubbing the sore sole of her foot. "You hurt me... I'm going to punish you tonight, you deserve a good spanking!"

........................

"Meow~ I've finally settled them in." The little white cat watched the car drive away into the distance, then tucked its ears in and took out its phone from its spatial storage to make a call. "Host, I rescued those teenagers from Mu Liuli's backyard as you instructed. They're all on their way to Xiangling City to meet up with Deputy Director Duan."

Jiang Chen glanced at the setting sun outside the window, closed his eyes to sense the vision transmitted back by the soul artifact, nodded, and lowered his voice, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, but I can't rest now. Mu Liuli has already sent people to arrest me, so I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things and make sure that the plainclothes officers sent by Deputy Director Duan don't fail."

The tragic character who will appear in Chapter Seven

"Okay, meow!" The fluffy ball licked its paws and chuckled, "I followed the host's instructions and deliberately led those teenagers to a blind spot in the surveillance, then blocked the surveillance, opened the combination lock, and escorted them out."

The old man with kidney deficiency must be having a headache right now, hehehe... As long as he focuses his attention on the mysterious disappearance of everyone, he'll be busy figuring out some kind of teleportation array and won't have time to pay attention to what kind of trouble this wild pseudo-master is causing.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Yes, if Mu Donghai is more guilty and starts to imagine whether someone is trying to frame him or deal with the Mu family, he will have even less interest in what that imposter daughter is up to. Let him be suspicious on his own for now."
