Chapter 49 - 2.10

Eyesores had to be removed. He wanted to send Xu Jiaqi off as soon as he could, but the Palla visitors had a specific schedule, so Xu Jiaqi had to be detained for a whole week before she could be taken away.

Luckily, the men from Palla had sent him with a letter that notified their arrival. By tonight, they should already be knocking on his doors, requesting for departure with Ariel the following morning.

Reginald smiled eerily. Everything was fine. It would go all according to his wishes, nothing more, nothing less.

He, Reginald Maine, wouldn't fall or fail in his standing. Surely, it would never happen.

Back in her room, Xu Jiaqi looked at her appearance. She was always someone who had a knack of beauty. Even after dying, her appreciation for physical aesthetics hadn't diminished in the slightest. Beauty was always something that could be prized. Simply by being a beautiful person, one could obtain various benefits in life right off the bat without having to do anything special at all.

Ariel Maine was originally a very beautiful person. Xu Jiaqi was even tempted to say that Ariel was more beautiful than the previous world's Xu Jiaqi. Her hair was platinum blonde, sheer and silky like threads. Her eyes were like beautiful sapphire gems when one looked closely, but sadly, no one had ever bothered to look into these pair of eyes as they had always disregarded her.

Her mother Maria had to have a striking appearance if she could get into the Reginald Maine's mind and tug on his heartstrings. Reginald, too, was known for his appearance in the noble community. He was someone who heavily took care of himself and did not let any of his aspects go lax. A beautiful person paired with another beauty-blessed human, the child would naturally also have the genes.

Maria had softer features, as opposed to Reginald's harsher ones. Thus, Ariel had a mixture of both, creating a perfect balance that served as the face that Xu Jiaqi was gloating over right now. In fact, compared to the other Maine children, Ariel had a better look.

Theresa Silvia was not someone who had the best look ever, but her standing was high and her reputation in the society was off the charts. That was why, Reginald marrying Theresa was very beneficial for both parties. The Maine children received Theresa's genes, but their looks weren't on par with Ariel's.

Maria, this lady, must have been the flower of her tribe for the genes she managed to pass down.

Xu Jiaqi continued to muse around her looks for a long time, making the System worried if the Host was actually broken in the head because she was heartbroken by Qin Zicheng or something.

[Host, do you still have feelings for Qin Zicheng? If you do.. then I might be able to help wiping your memories when I achieve the appropriate authority. It's still impossible for now, but if you want to forget Qin Zicheng..] The System spoke.

"..Qin Zicheng? The guy from the previous world? Ahh~ our.. How did I do it again? Zicheng ge~" Like it was as natural as breathing, Xu Jiaqi swapped out to a coy voice and replied to the System.

[..] The System was immediately silenced and had his words restrained.

Never mind, Host seems to not be affected at all. Good for her..?

"Anyway, I really don't brood over things like that. That time is over, so you don't have to worry about me getting stuck around that world. I know how to separate myself from such things." Xu Jiaqi casually swiped all of her hair back and flopped herself down to the bed.

"..Wait, no. Come to think of it, Qin Zicheng probably didn't love me enough. I judged his stamina when he was exercising with me. We should've been at the peak of sexual relations considering our age and bond, but he didn't fuck me a lot. Rather, every time we did it, he treated me like a piece of glass and even stopped to let me rest a lot.. I'm not saying that it killed the mood, but it kinda did. That hurts my pride a bit.." Xu Jiaqi complained.

[Host.. your view on the world is completely skewed, please reform yourself.]

"It just proved that the stories I read in my free time aren't completely right even though I'm being put in one of those nonsensical situations. Guys like Qin Zicheng in the novel, they are depicted as beastly and all, but I never got to see any of that. Perhaps I played a little bit too pure? I want to taste how it's like provoking a beast." Xu Jiaqi lamented. "Oh shit, did I become a masochist? No way... I will just have a taste. How would it be like being a sex maniac?"

[Host, stop! I won't ask anymore, so please concentrate on your own appearance and fulfill the mission!]

"One step at a time, System. One step at a time. This world will definitely take years to complete... I can't rush it like before. I looked at the information you researched for me, and to take down the entire Palla religious land will be.. troubling." Xu Jiaqi turned serious.

After realizing that whatever it said to the Host, things could never go accordingly to his way, the System began to slowly retract and focus on his researching job that the Host had ordered him to do.

What not loving enough?! Clearly Qin Zicheng loved her so much that he couldn't bear to see her feel even the slightest bits of pain! To the point of suppressing his own libido all the time!

He remembered that the Host used to walk around the house without clothes because it was comfortable for her. Whenever Qin Zicheng saw her, he had to practically do a manual reverse to all the blood flow that surged to his private area.

It happened so many times that Qin Zicheng became a professional at stopping his little brother from rising.

His Host was romantically dumb, so she didn't get this at all.

How could he help this sorry case of a Host?
