When the Villain is Bound to the Female Lead System

Chapter 35

The system was actually reluctant to offer this newcomer's gift package, as it was a universal package distributed by the main system, often containing some strange items. It was meant for those entering various alternate worlds, giving them some rewards to help stabilize their mood and adapt quickly to the new world.

However, this package was not suitable for the villains being pursued!

When the system first bonded with its host, it should have immediately distributed the newcomer's gift package. But at that time, Xue Chenjing had sneered at it. Even if the system had tried to tempt him with the newcomer's package, he would have disdained it. So the system had simply shoved the package into its storage to gather dust.

Now, in a moment of urgency, it had revealed its existence and could no longer cover it up.

The newcomer's package was divided into two parts: first, physical rewards, and second, a beginner's guide compiled by the main system based on experiences from various worlds, for the host's reference.

Xue Chenjing flipped through the physical rewards. "Beauty pills, skin-perfecting tablets, eyelash growth serum? What's this 'Passionate Love Potion'?"

The system hurriedly said, "You don't need that, it's not useful now."

Before the system could finish speaking, Xue Chenjing had already unscrewed the cap and taken a sniff. A thin tendril slipped into the bottle's mouth and dipped into the liquid.

The crimson liquid clung to the transparent tentacle, its alcoholic aroma transmitted to his consciousness through countless sensory organs at the tip.

The system drew in a sharp breath.

Xue Chenjing shook his tentacle, sneering, "So it's an aphrodisiac. I wouldn't stoop to using such a thing."

Seeing that he didn't seem affected, the system breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Xue Chenjing tossed aside the Passionate Love Potion and picked up another item, curiously turning it over, "Secondary sexual characteristic development hormone?"

Why was it that he recognized every word individually, but put together, he couldn't understand what this strange thing was?

The system: "..." It knew that the more it said not to do something, the more its host would want to try it, so this time it simply remained silent.

Xue Chenjing held the box, not knowing how to open it. Finally losing patience, he irritably tossed it aside.

His hand reached for the beauty pills again, taking one out and popping it into his mouth. He then picked up a nearby mirror to look, but after a long while, his appearance in the mirror hadn't changed at all. He slammed down the mirror, angry, "Are you trying to fool me with fake goods?"

The system: "Master, I told you, your looks are already more than sufficient. You should have confidence in yourself and not doubt yourself because of a small setback."

Xue Chenjing cast a disdainful look at the pile of strange, useless junk, and finally opened the experience package guide. A flash of white light appeared in the void, and a line of text emerged:

[Host's current world detected. Now automatically matching appropriate beginner's guide for the host. This guide is for reference only. Please adapt according to actual situations and do not overly rely on the guide.

Loading beginner's tutorial, please wait...]

The system had already given up struggling.

Xue Chenjing shed his outer robe and loosened his clothes, sitting cross-legged on the bed, watching with interest as the circle spun in front of him. After a while, the white light flashed, and with a ding, another line of text appeared:

[Beginner's tutorial start. "100-Day Conquest Plan" officially begins. Please confirm daily conquest tasks promptly. After completion, please check the box on the right. If not completed, please mark an X in the box.]

[100-Day Conquest Plan Day 1: Find an opportunity to appear before the conquest target in a unique way, making a lasting impression.

Best entrance method reference: When the conquest target faces a major crisis or life-threatening situation, the host descends from the sky, rescuing them from danger.

Best dialogue reference: "I'm here to help you! Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you." Note: Please be sure to say this before they try to kill you.]

"What is this?" Xue Chenjing squinted in confusion, grabbing the light screen and pulling it close to his face, reading word by word. He frowned, "Major crisis? She's perfectly fine now, when would there be a life-threatening situation?"

Of course, the female lead wouldn't have such moments, but if you were the conquest target, there would be plenty of such times.

The system thought silently, trying to explain, "This was originally a suggestion for your first meeting, but since you've already met for the first time, it's not really relevant anymore."

Moreover, their first meeting had obviously failed. It had scared the female lead so much that she had been running away for so long.

"Let's mark this with an X and move on to the next day."

The system finished speaking and waited for a while without seeing any reaction from its host. It then belatedly realized that something was off with its host.

Xue Chenjing's eyes were red at the corners, his gaze unfocused. His clothes were in disarray, having been pulled apart by himself. Several tentacles slid down from the bed, writhing on the floor like snakes.

Normally, these tendrils should have been transparent and barely noticeable, but now they had a faint redness inside, making them visible in the air.

The system exclaimed in shock, "Master? Master, are you still conscious?"

Xue Chenjing was still staring blankly at the light screen, furrowing his brow as he fumbled with the glowing text, reading word by word: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you..."

The system: "..." Oh my goodness, I told you not to mess with that bottle!

"Why... is it a bit hot?" Xue Chenjing mumbled dully. The text on the light screen had turned into glowing tadpoles swimming back and forth in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes hard, trying to see them clearly.

But the more he rubbed, the blurrier his vision became. Finally, the light screen scattered into countless sparks and disappeared.

Xue Chenjing gasped for air. His body wasn't actually that hot, but his pseudopods were burning, causing him to extrude more tentacles from the void.

The flushed tentacles crowded together, thrashing wildly, knocking over the furniture in the room and pressing against the walls, which creaked as if about to burst.

The system anxiously said, "Master, drink some water, drink lots of cold water."

Hearing its words, Xue Chenjing's tendrils wriggled over, finding the shattered teapot on the ground, and rolling in the spilled cold tea. The cold tea on the floor did make him feel a bit better, but only slightly.

This small amount of tea was far from enough to cool so many tentacles. In their struggle to roll in the tea, his tentacles were almost fighting each other.

Xue Chenjing lay confused at the edge of the bed, half propping himself up. He pointed at the mass of tentacles fighting over the tea and angrily said, "Don't fight!"

The system: "..."

Even more tentacles that couldn't get to the tea and were unbearably hot began to climb up the doors and windows, trying to get out.

The system shouted in Xue Chenjing's mind, "Master! Control yourself! If you go out like this, you'll be discovered. You can't go out! Don't let your pseudopods crawl out!"

Xue Chenjing nodded obediently, frantically trying to grab his pseudopods and drag them back onto the bed.

But these tendrils, usually as responsive as his own limbs, now completely ignored his commands. He'd grab one, only for another to slip down. When he lunged to pull that one back, another would crawl up the window, desperately trying to poke outside.

The unrelenting heat surging through the tentacles burned into his consciousness through countless sensory organs. Xue Chenjing's mind felt like it was on fire, as if engulfed in a wildfire, burning away all reason.

Yet he had no way to release this burning sensation.

Looking at the frenzied tentacles all over the room, Xue Chenjing felt a surge of rage. He drew a sigil in the air with his fingers. The sigil formed an array, from which several streaks of light shot out, transforming into sharp ice spikes. With a series of thuds, they pinned down all the wildly crawling tentacles.

The system: "!!!" What are you doing?!

Intense pain suddenly flooded his senses. Xue Chenjing doubled over in agony, curling up on the bed and trembling. Demonic energy continuously leaked from the wounds in his tendrils.

In the middle of the night, the night market in Yinzhou City had long since closed. The neon lights had dimmed significantly, with only scattered lights remaining in the shadows of the city's buildings.

On the two door god statues that stood day and night at the city gate, a strange light suddenly flickered. The statues seemed to sense something, their third eyes lighting up. Two shadows detached from the stone statues, transforming into enormous spectral images of the gods, as large as small mountains.

The door gods stood guard in the sky above Yinzhou City, holding long halberds. Their golden outlines depicted their imposing figures, with armor reflecting the city lights. They opened their eyes, slowly scanning the urban areas,

His eyes were truly beautiful, like stars twinkling in the night sky. But Yu Yi had developed something of a psychological aversion to those beautiful eyes. She reflexively turned away, avoiding his gaze.

Then she remembered that Xue Chenjing had sworn an oath not to hypnotize her again. She frowned slightly and looked back at him.

Xue Chenjing sat dazed on the edge of the bed. He swayed once, then suddenly collapsed with a thud.

Yu Yi waited a moment, but he didn't respond. She flicked her finger to produce a wisp of sword qi flame. The small, ethereal fire floated in midair, illuminating the surroundings.

"Xue Chenjing?" she called out, stepping towards the bed to check on him.

The man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes again. He rubbed the corners of his eyes and sat up.

In the ghostly light of the flame, Yu Yi saw him give her an apologetic smile and say, "He injured himself too severely and lost consciousness."
