Chapter 1990: What the Hell Are You?

For example, in situations like this current one, she didn’t have any ability to fight back. As a task-taker, her soul was probably the most important part of her.

Ning Shu tried her best to control her soul and prevent it from being sucked away by the virtuous empress system.

Gradually, the suction force started decreasing until it finally vanished. Ning Shu sighed in relief. 2333 finally made a move.

She seriously had to learn some soul attack techniques. She couldn’t rely on 2333 since what if 2333 couldn’t handle it? Then she’d be done for.

“What the hell are you?” The virtuous empress system’s voice contained anger. “Give me back my energy.”

When the virtuous empress system realized that the situation was off, it hastily tried to get free from Ning Shu’s soul.

As it was trying to get free, 2333 invaded it.

Ning Shu covered her ears. Her eardrums were filled with the sound of electric currents crackling and it felt like messy streams of information were flowing through her head.

Once the sound of the electric current gradually faded away, Ning Shu internally called out to 2333. “You alive?”

“I’m alive.” 2333 sounded a little exhausted.

Ning Shu sighed in relief. “That’s good.”

She had never felt as clearly as she did now that she and 2333 were like ants hanging off the same thread. No matter what they tried to do, their fates were tied together.

But she still had to say, 2333 was seriously useless!

Not only was he useless, he even had the fricking nerve to look down on her!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were forced to work with each other despite their mutual disdain.

“For the time being, I need to work on reorganizing this data and these laws. If there’s nothing important, don’t call me,” said 2333. “I used up a bit too much energy.”

“Then how am I supposed to get back? You’re seriously like this every single time. You run off as soon as you get what you want.” said Ning Shu in an annoyed tone.

2333 said, “I already set a timer for the system. As soon as you finish your task, it will send you back. The favored concubine system has quite a lot of data so it’s going to take me some time to organize it all.”

“Then after you organize it all, will you increase in level?” asked Ning Shu.

“Maybe, who knows.” 2333 wasn’t sure.

There was still no guarantee that he would level up? 2333 had already devoured two systems, and this system was pretty strong as well. 2333 was seriously a troll, no, a trolling blackhole.

“All right, then you can scram.” Ning Shu waved her hand dismissively.

2333 then fell silent. Ning Shu didn’t know when he would make another sound. She was back on her own again.

She had finished dealing with Noble Lady Zhou and now she was also done dealing with the favored concubine system. Now all she had to do was to be a proper virtuous empress with complete peace of mind. Whenever she had free time, she would have the concubines in the harem chat with her.

Now that she had more free time, she spent it conditioning this body so that when Fu Wanhui came back, she would be able to give birth to a child.

It was impossible to rely on a man like Zhao Xu. All he cared about was his nation, so there was no way he would care about a woman. If the original host had a child, at least the rest of her life wouldn’t be as lonely.

In all honesty, Ning Shu really wanted to hurry and leave. Every time she faced Zhao Xu, she couldn’t help but feel that he was suspicious of her identity.

The current Zhao Xu had not fallen in love with Noble Lady Zhou and hadn’t dispersed his harem for Noble Lady Zhou, so all the people in this harem regardless of whether they were favored or not at least had a place to live.

Compared to when they had been kicked out of the palace and lost their reputations, at least right now, the concubines in the palace still had good reputations.

Ning Shu really couldn’t understand it. Was Zhao Xu seriously the one that had done something like that? The previous Zhao Xu hadn’t gotten possessed or anything?

As expected, people who were in love had IQs of zero. For the sake of pleasing the people that they love, for the sake of making them smile, they really would do anything.

Ning Shu felt that there was one other possibility, which was that the fortune of the entire nation had pretty much been completely plundered. If the heavens wanted to make a person perish, it must first make the person go mad.
