After Transmigrating into a Book as a Cannon Fodder Character, The System Turned out to be Completely Unreliable! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Drunk

After Lan Mushu said those words, Ye Lingxi tossed and turned, unable to sleep: “Seriously, ever since I came here, there hasn’t been a single day where I could sleep properly.”

Spirit Cat: “Host?”

Hearing the system’s voice, Ye Lingxi perked up: “System, do you know how the Hundred Herb Spirit reproduces?”

Spirit Cat: “Host, this was assigned by us. As for how it reproduces, we don’t have that function.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“Damn it, seriously—how do you guys manage to produce anything useful when you don’t have anything?!” Ye Lingxi couldn’t take it anymore. “Did you come here to help me or just to keep me company so I don’t go crazy from boredom?”

Spirit Cat: “If that’s how you want to think of it, Host, then you can think of it that way.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“Fine, fine, fine. I admire you guys. I admire you so much I can’t even.”

Spirit Cat: “Host, don’t be angry.”

Ye Lingxi glared: “Wouldn’t you be angry if you were in my shoes? I thought I had a golden finger that let me control the script, but turns out it’s a pile of crap! How can I not be mad?! You tell me!” The more she spoke, the more agitated she became.

Spirit Cat: “…”

“But speaking of which, the old man she mentioned—I’m more and more convinced he’s the one who helped me unlock my divine sense. I suspected it before.” Ye Lingxi rubbed her chin.

Spirit Cat: “I think everyone looks like someone to you.”

Ye Lingxi shot it a look: “Say that again!”

The system spirit cat was so startled by her reaction that it flew back into the broken sword: “What I said is true.”

Ye Lingxi was furious: “You lousy system really do belong in that broken sword.”

Spirit Cat: “So what? It’s comfy in here.”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

The system spirit cat lay inside the world of the broken sword, floating around comfortably and lazily.

Ye Lingxi didn’t bother arguing with it anymore.

“Fine, just enjoy your comfy little life in there. When I get back, I’m filing a complaint against you.” She sat on the bed, humming and pointing at the broken sword. “You’re all bullying me.” She angrily threw a pillow at the door—just as Ji Fuyu walked in, and it hit her.

Seeing she’d hit someone, Ye Lingxi immediately sat up and smiled sweetly: “You… why are you here? I didn’t mean to just now.” She stepped forward, afraid she was angry. “Are you okay?”

Ji Fuyu’s eyes followed her movements: “Do I look like I’m okay?”

Ye Lingxi looked up and saw her reeking of alcohol, her face flushed and dazed. She definitely didn’t look okay.

She hiccupped.

The smell of alcohol was so strong that Ye Lingxi turned her face away, fanning the air with her hand and pinching her nose: “Oh my god, how happy were you?”

Ji Fuyu gave her a silly smile, then collapsed onto her.

Ye Lingxi had no choice but to catch her, and they both ended up kneeling on the floor: “Oh man, why are you so heavy?”

“Drink!” Ji Fuyu raised her arm and shouted loudly.

Ye Lingxi instinctively covered her mouth. Her drunken eyes lifted upward, then she removed Ye Lingxi’s hand: “Mingyue, did you come to apologize to this king?”

Ye Lingxi was pinned to the floor by her: “Wait, can you move a little farther away?”

Ji Fuyu leaned in and pinched her face: “But this king won’t forgive you so easily. Who told you to lie to me first?”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

Oh god, I’m not Mingyue Shangshen. Can you please get off me? The accessories on your body are really poking me. She tried to push her away, but Ji Fuyu only leaned in harder.

Ye Lingxi was speechless. What kind of mess is this demon woman in when she’s drunk?

Does she just pin people down when she sees them?

Then Ye Lingxi felt something moving along her leg: “Your hand.”

Ji Fuyu pulled open her clothes and said, “Let this king take a look.”

“Look at your damn self!” Ye Lingxi got angry and tried to kick her, but ended up falling on her butt.

“Weren’t you the one who complained before about me kissing you?” Ye Lingxi was completely done with drunk Ji Fuyu.

Ji Fuyu tilted her head, her face flushed red: “When did you ever kiss this king?”

Ye Lingxi didn’t want to argue with her anymore: “Can you behave yourself?”

“This king wants you to coax me to sleep.” She tugged at her sleeve and started acting cute.

Ye Lingxi: “…”

The system spirit cat suddenly got interested and popped out: “Wow, Host, you two are really spicy, huh?”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“Hey hey hey! It’s not what you think—she’s mistaking me for Mingyue Shangshen.” Ye Lingxi pointed at it and explained.

Spirit Cat: “Host, you should seize this opportunity.”

“What am I supposed to hold onto?” Ye Lingxi had always wanted to cling to a powerful backer, but now she didn’t want to anymore—just living one more day was enough.

Spirit Cat: “Don’t you want to give it a try?”

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“You’re sick in the head!” Ye Lingxi went up and smacked it on the head. “What are you thinking about all day long? If you used your brain to think about how to help me, wouldn’t that be great?”

Spirit Cat: “I like shipping CPs too~”

Ye Lingxi: “But aren’t you shipping the wrong CP? She called for the Moon God, not me. Besides, I don’t swing that way.”

Spirit Cat: [Why not?]

“I’m straight!”

Spirit Cat: “Wah~ what a big surprise. Then why are you reading this kind of story?”

Ye Lingxi bit her lip: “Can’t I just be curious?”

Spirit Cat: “Fine, then what are you going to do now?”

Ye Lingxi listened to the drunken Ji Fuyu who kept shouting that she wanted her to coax her to sleep. She could understand; probably at that moment Ji Fuyu was dreaming of the Moon God finding the phoenix egg—maybe she had seen the Moon God as a mother from birth. Whether her personality had changed later, that was hard to say.

Of course, this was just her guess.

But the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to kick her. She kicked the person clinging to her leg—like clay, she couldn’t shake her off no matter how hard she tried.

Ye Lingxi was exhausted: “No more, I’m out of strength.”

“I give up.” Ye Lingxi sat on the ground with her, gasping for breath. Just as she caught her breath, Ji Fuyu hugged her again, rubbing against her.

“You smell so nice.”

Ye Lingxi immediately sensed danger. When she pushed her away, her hand seemed to touch something unimaginable.

Damn it, I touched that thing of hers again.

She wanted to die.

Ji Fuyu whimpered as she was heartlessly pushed away, her eyes full of tears: “You don’t want Ah-Yu anymore?”

Ye Lingxi felt like she was witnessing something unbelievable. Her clothes were about to slip off. Like a block of wood, she turned to the system: “Was she just acting cute?”

Spirit Cat: “Yes.”

What just happened wasn’t just drunken behavior, but now…

She had goosebumps all over: “Wait, don’t do this. Let’s talk properly.”

“Ah-Yu can talk properly, but Ah-Yu feels really uncomfortable.” She used a child-like voice to speak.

“Then where does it hurt?” Ye Lingxi, now like a kindergarten teacher, followed along.

Ji Fuyu pointed to her lower part: “Here.”

Ye Lingxi saw that part of her was starting to swell. Damn, it was a physiological reaction. She clenched her back teeth: “System, you must find out why she has that thing.”

Spirit Cat: “Okay.”

“So that’s where it hurts? Alright, be good and come with me, I’ll help you.” Ye Lingxi held her hand and led her toward the lake outside.

It was still dark outside. After all, she hadn’t really slept all night—one person after another kept coming in.

“Come on, we’re almost there.” Ye Lingxi held her hand tightly since she was clearly still drunk and disoriented.

Ji Fuyu asked, “Are we there? Ah-Yu feels really bad.” She pressed her legs together.

“Yes, yes, we’re here.” Ye Lingxi went into the water first, then told her to be careful: “Come down slowly.”

Ji Fuyu touched the water and instinctively stepped back: “Ah-Yu doesn’t want to bathe. Ah-Yu hates water.”

Ye Lingxi raised a brow: “Oh? So she’s afraid of water?”

Didn’t expect her to turn into a child when she was drunk. Really didn’t see that coming.

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. It’s not deep. Once you get in, you won’t feel bad anymore.” Ye Lingxi explained patiently, though she had already been secretly laughing for a while.

The mighty Demon Lord afraid of water—what a joke.

Ji Fuyu hesitated: “But…”

“But what?”

“But hugging you just now felt really nice.” She said it with a bashful tone and a soft voice.

Ye Lingxi: “…”

“Uh…” Ye Lingxi quickly tried to think of an excuse. Flustered, she said: “That’s because… because I had already taken a bath, so I smell like water.”

“Really?”

“Really.” Ye Lingxi lied so smoothly even she couldn’t believe herself.

Ji Fuyu half-believed, half-doubted: “Alright then.” She stepped into the water and started trembling. Ye Lingxi bit her lip. Ji Fuyu reached out, grabbed her clothes, and said: “I want you to stay with me.”

Ye Lingxi pouted: “Didn’t I just tell you? I already came in earlier, I don’t need to again.” She pulled back her clothes and tried to run. Who would’ve thought Ji Fuyu suddenly stood up and scooped her up in the air.

“What the hell just happened?”

SPLASH—Ye Lingxi was tossed straight into the water.
