Chapter 210: Dead Last

“I know, so why do I need you?”

The host has such a bad temper.

The system silently complained.

[It’s because this task’s attributes can change, but there will be no notifications during the process. You have to rely on your own intelligence to discover it.]

[If the ‘Great Beauty’ physique is done incorrectly, it turns into the ‘Great Nuisance’ physique. The imperial family’s belief value comes very quickly, but if the royal family members neglect or mishandle your statue, you’ll gain disdain value. The speed of gaining disdain value is the same as gaining belief value. It’s like the saying, the bigger the investment, the greater the risk.]

Di Hongluan gritted her teeth. “So, the reason my belief value dropped so quickly and the disdain value rose so fast is that royal members must have desecrated my statue?”

[Host, you’re not entirely foolish.]

Who?

Who dared to desecrate her statue?

She pulled out a booklet, flipping through it. It recorded the names of those who worshipped her statue.

She flipped through it, but couldn’t find out who had desecrated her statue.

What she didn’t know was that Concubine Rou had desecrated two statues, throwing them into a cesspool, which was full of filth. The cesspool was largely responsible for the rapid increase in disdain value.

“So what should I do now? We’re all in the same boat. If I die, you fail your task, and you won’t get a chance to find a new host.” Di Hongluan smiled coldly, convinced that the system would save her.

—

The system sighed silently, wondering why it was so unlucky.

When it first chose its host, everything was correct according to the birth date, and the Heavenly Dao had said that its host was unique in the world.

And yet this?

Heavenly Dao, please take me back!

Unfortunately, the system’s cries went unheard by the Heavenly Dao.

At that moment, Ah Bao, who was lying on Di Zian’s neck, felt a chaotic noise in her head.

“I want to go back, wuwuwu, take me back!”

Who was it?

Whose voice was shouting in her head?

Ah Bao looked around; there were only little butterflies fluttering around her, and no one was speaking.

The system forced itself to stay alert, [Host, the ‘Great Nuisance’ physique can be erased.]

“Hmph, I knew you had a way.” It seemed this system wasn’t completely useless. “How do I erase it?”

[Erasure talisman.]

Di Hongluan rolled her eyes in frustration. “I don’t have any.”

She was now penniless and had no erasure talismans.

[Then I can’t help you. You’ll have to find the erasure talisman yourself. Sigh, it’s all the host’s fault for being too dumb. Many tasks haven’t been completed, no points, no rewards. You can’t just rely on ready-made solutions.]

She knew this was crucial, but it wasn’t that she didn’t want to complete tasks.

It was that she couldn’t!

Di Hongluan woke up in the carriage heading back to the Han Prince’s residence.

She didn’t want to wake up. Her head was even bigger than a pig’s head, and her previously bright eyes were now just slits.

The Han Princess had already cried her eyes out. Di Hongluan was annoyed by the noise. “Liang, stop crying!”

Upon arriving at the Han Prince’s residence, Di Hongluan rushed into the pavilion where Prince Han, dressed in snow-white robes, was sitting. She quickened her pace and lunged towards him.

Before she could reach Prince Han, he heard the commotion and immediately stood up, “Who? Who dares to be so rude?”

Di Hongluan smelled of excrement; the bees had left their droppings all over her.

Unable to open her mouth to clearly say “father,” she stood there, afraid to shed tears, fearing the pain from her stung face.

She could only extend her face for Prince Han to touch.

In the past, when she was upset and reluctant to speak, her father would touch her cheek to encourage her.

But this time, when Di Hongluan extended her face, Prince Han felt it was like touching a big pig’s head. “Who dares to cause trouble at the Han Prince’s residence!”

Prince Han immediately kicked Di Hongluan away.

“Luan’er!” The Han Princess, who had rushed over, was shocked to see Di Hongluan thrown out of the pavilion like a rag doll.

Di Hongluan fell to the ground mercilessly, landing awkwardly.

Great Nuisance!

She constantly remembered that she now had the Great Nuisance physique, and indeed, even her father didn’t like her anymore.

“Prince Han, this is our daughter. Luan’er, don’t kick her; she is Luan’er.”

Prince Han was obviously confused and immediately walked out. “Luan’er? What’s going on? Why didn’t you speak just now?”

He couldn’t see but relied on sound.

Since she wasn’t speaking and there was no trace of Di Hongluan’s presence, he naturally didn’t recognize her.

Di Hongluan’s mouth twitched. Was it that she didn’t want to speak? It was that she couldn’t speak at all!

Prince Han furrowed his brows. “Today is the second day of February. We haven’t worshiped the Dragon God yet. Why did you come back so early?”

Di Hongluan lowered her head, knowing they hadn’t worshiped the Dragon God yet. She just wanted to return to the residence for her father’s concern but ended up getting kicked.

Di Hongluan took her veil and left the residence alone to worship the Dragon God.

On the other side.

Di Zian and Luo Zifeng took Ah Bao around the market.

“Little sister, it’s almost time to worship the Dragon God. Are you going?” Di Zian asked, stopping.

“Of course.”

Every year, the second day of February, the Dragon God worship was the most anticipated event of the Dragon Raising Festival.

“The Dragon God Temple is right next to the temple. The Dragon God is our temple’s guardian deity,” Luo Zifeng said, looking towards the Dragon God Temple with reverence.

Ah Bao scratched her head in confusion. “Guardian deity?”

[The temple has no deities, and the Tiansheng Dynasty has no national god. Who does the Dragon God protect?]

Ah Bao’s confusion was also something Di Zian and Luo Zifeng had always wondered.

Di Zian, holding Ah Bao, explained, “Little sister, this Dragon God is different.”

“Different how?”

“There are seven countries on the continent: Jin, Mu, Shui, Huo, Tu, Feng, and the Tiansheng Dynasty. Among these, the three strongest are Jin, Mu, and Shui. Huo, Tu, Feng, and the Tiansheng Dynasty are weaker and ranked lower. Ahem, our Tiansheng Dynasty is the bottom of the lower-ranked countries.”

Di Zian spoke about this without any sign of dejection, but rather with determination.

Being at the bottom now didn’t mean it would always be at the bottom. He had several older brothers, a powerful father, and a mysteriously impressive younger sister. The rise of the Tiansheng Dynasty in the future wasn’t impossible.

“We are at the bottom?” Ah Bao could hardly believe it. She felt the Tiansheng Dynasty had a bright future. “And Feng Kingdom is at what place?”

Di Zian: “Second.”

Ah Bao: …

[Wasn’t the Feng Kingdom already destroyed? How can the destroyed country be second to last, and the Tiansheng Dynasty, which still exists, be at the bottom?]
