Chapter 2:  WTF, Even This Won’t Pass Censorship?!

Liu Liu gasped, “How did you do that???”

Sang Nian was in so much pain she cried, “I was careless, I didn’t dodge.”

Liu Liu was defeated by her, and instructed, “Remember to dodge next time.”

Sang Nian sniffed, took a deep breath, and swung the whip in her hand again.

Xie Chenzhou’s eyes turned cold.

“Crack——!”

A gust of wind swept past, the silk curtains fluttered, the table and chairs cracked in half, teacups and porcelain vases shattered all over the floor, and the peanuts, red dates, longan, and chestnuts in the fruit bowl rolled everywhere.

In the chaos, she accidentally stepped on one of them, and with a “plop,” she slipped and fell.

The room was in a mess.

Only Xie Chenzhou on the bed remained unscathed.

Not even a single hair was out of place.

Sang Nian was stunned.

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

Liu Liu: “…”

The air was silent.

“No, it’s truly a heavenly artifact,” Liu Liu stammered after a long while,

“It has such destructive power even without using spiritual energy. If it weren’t for the formations in the room, this whole place would have been demolished.”

“I told you I can’t do it!”

Sang Nian couldn’t hold it in anymore, “I haven’t even spun a top in my entire life, let alone whip someone. I can’t do it, I can’t even do it if I whip myself to death.”

Liu Liu was also worried, “How about trying simpler props? If not, I’ll think of other ways.”

It persuaded her for a while, and Sang Nian reluctantly got up, clutching her bruised waist.

【This part has been edited many times but still won’t pass censorship, so here’s a simple summary:】

Liu Liu:  Goes to pick up the props that censorship doesn’t allow

Sang Nian:

Sang Nian:

Xie Chenzhou:

Liu Liu:

Sang Nian:

Sang Nian: “!!!”

“WTF, Xie, Xie Chenzhou, he,” she stammered, shocked, “Seems like a letter Aimu that can’t even be put in the title?!”

Liu Liu: “…………”

The hope in its heart finally died.

After a long silence, it seemed to have made a decision:

“Forget it, you’ve tried your best.”

It transformed into a yellow parrot, flew out of her sea of consciousness, circled around, and landed on her shoulder, flapping its wings and patting her head:

“I’ve applied for a change to the easiest task for you.”

Sang Nian was relieved, “What is it?”

“You’ll know when the system notification comes down tomorrow.” Liu Liu said mysteriously, “I guarantee there won’t be any difficulty.”

Sang Nian was about to say something, but the next moment, a sharp pain spread through her chest.

It felt like a needle piercing her, she couldn’t straighten up, her face turned pale as paper.

“You’re about to die.” Liu Liu kindly reminded her.

Sang Nian, frantically searching for quick-acting heart pills: “???”

Liu Liu said:

“According to the original plot, you would have a heart attack tonight and be saved by the maid guarding the door, a close call. But now she’s gone, no one will save you, so you’ll die.”

Sang Nian wanted to call for help, but she could only squeeze a few breaths out of her throat, not even as loud as a mosquito hum.

Liu Liu comforted her again:

“But according to the setting, Xie Chenzhou has a special physique, you have a strange disease, as long as you do the unspeakable things, you can control your condition. If you do it more often, you might even improve your physique and increase your cultivation level.”

Sang Nian silently complained in her heart, “So Xie Chenzhou is a born dual cultivator with a sacred body.”

Liu Liu: “You don’t have much time left.”

Sang Nian didn’t dwell on it, she stumbled towards Xie Chenzhou, desperately gesturing to him with her eyes, her voice hoarse as she spat out each word:

“Quick, call, someone, to— ” save me save me save me save me save me save me save me save me

Before she could finish, the clothes she had hurriedly gathered around her loosened.

【I’m really going crazy, it keeps failing censorship, here’s a simple description again:】

Sang Nian: Exposes half of her shoulder that censorship doesn’t allow to be shown.

Xie Chenzhou: Stunned

Sang Nian: Dizzy, goes up and bites his neckSuckle

Xie Chenzhou: (Startled)

Xie Chenzhou: “What are you doing?!”

“I’m not going to make it, let me take a few breaths.”

Sang Nian raised her face, her full lips still stained with his blood, at first glance, it looked like she had applied rouge.

Her originally pale and elegant face also had a touch of beauty.

Xie Chenzhou’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he forced himself to speak:

“Get off of me…”

“I swear, I won’t do anything else, just let me take a few breaths.”

Her voice was weak, so soft only they could hear:

“Please.”

It was more like a whine than a plea.

Xie Chenzhou’s lips slowly tightened into a straight line, he forcefully turned his head away.

Getting his tacit approval, Sang Nian’s lips drew near his wound, and did the action that censorship didn’t allow.

The night wind blew through the diamond-shaped window, the moonlight was like scattered silver, the mermaid silk fluttered.

The countryside was quiet, the fragrance of gardenia in the girl’s hair mixed with a strange sweetness, carried by the wind, passed Xie Chenzhou’s nose.

It was faint, with a slight chill.

He clenched his palm tightly, the blue veins on his pale hand bulged.

The red rope swayed, the bell rang out. 【Censorship, this is for atmosphere, no hidden meaning】

After an unknown amount of time, Sang Nian’s hand went limp.

She rolled over in time, resting her head on Xie Chenzhou’s arm.

“What are you doing again?” Xie Chenzhou’s voice was hoarse.

Sang Nian’s eyelids felt heavy, as if filled with lead, she replied weakly:

“I’ll die if I don’t lie down, I’ll untie your ropes when I wake up, the effect of the medicine you took will wear off by dawn, just bear with it…”

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until it completely disappeared.

Perhaps it was too cold and too tired, she slept soundly, nestled in his arms in a way he had never seen before, tightly clinging to the source of heat, motionless.

Her breathing was so faint, as if it might disappear at any moment.

Xie Chenzhou was momentarily dazed.

When he came back to his senses, his pupils were like bottomless pools, black as night.

She was just another person coveting his flesh and blood.

Nothing different.

Nothing.

…

The sun was high in the sky when Sang Nian woke up.

The bed was empty, the room had been tidied up, there was no sign of what happened last night.

She tried to sit up, her whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Most likely because of the whip she gave herself last night.

Thinking about it, Sang Nian’s expression couldn’t help but contort.

The next moment, the door was pushed open, the maids walked in quietly, the one leading the way was Chun’er, the maid who had grown up with the original owner.

She lifted the curtain and looked at Sang Nian:

“Miss, are you going to wash up now?”

Sang Nian tried to manage her expression, “Okay.”

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, she couldn’t help but hiss.

Chun’er asked, “What’s wrong?”

Sang Nian said, “Do you have any medicine for external injuries?”

Chun’er took out a porcelain bottle that she had prepared beforehand and handed it to her:

“This is a pill from the Medicine King Valley, I heard they changed the formula, it’s very effective for external injuries.”

The Sang family controlled the largest spirit stone mine in Qingzhou, and the major sects nearby often came to deal with them.

Sang Nian took it and felt much better, she put the rest in her storage bag and instructed:

“Prepare more of this, you’ll always need it.”

Chun’er covered her mouth and giggled.

Sang Nian knew she had misunderstood, and felt the need to explain:

“I’m…”

“The commotion last night was so loud, half of the Sang family heard it.” Chun’er complained, “The young master is really reckless.”

Sang Nian’s expression management completely failed:

“Ah?”

Chun’er said, “But you look better than usual.”

As they spoke, they sat down at the dressing table, Sang Nian looked at herself in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her face was pale and bloodless, her jaw was pointed, a small mole the color of rouge between her brows, her peach-blossom eyes were black and white.

She did resemble her original appearance.

But her dry yellow hair, her overly thin body, and the faint blue-black color between her brows, anyone could see that she wasn’t meant to live long.

So this is what it means to look better?

How weak must she have looked before…

Sang Nian shook her head, “By the way, where’s Xie Chenzhou?”

“He,” Chun’er brought a basin of water and wiped her face, said casually, “He’s being hung up and beaten by the City Lord.”???

Sang Nian almost choked, “Hung up and beaten?!”

At the same time, the system, which had been silent all night, suddenly sent out two notifications in a row.

【Ding! Task changed successfully, please seduce the male supporting character Xie Chenzhou within seven months】

【Xie Chenzhou’s current favorability towards you: -123060】

Sang Nian: “…”

Heaven.

Is.

Going.

To.

Kill.

Me.
