“Really.” Bei Yutang said with absolute certainty.
Harrison seemed to realize something, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
Bei Yutang noticed the ruthlessness in his eyes; her heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising within her. Had she made the wrong bet?
Harrison smiled at her and said, “I have a deal to tell you.”
Hearing this, Bei Yutang knew that she had made the right bet.
“Please speak, my Lord.” Bei Yutang said respectfully.
“You will infiltrate Simon’s inner circle and find an opportunity to kill him. After it’s done, I will embrace you and grant you eternal life, making you my heir.”
A person who could command the respect and attention of a powerful ruler could not be an ordinary individual. His identity must be extraordinary; he was most likely one of the five dukes.
If he were a duke, killing him would be very difficult.
Bei Yutang didn’t intend to kill him, but she couldn’t say it aloud or show it.
“I…I can’t kill him.”
“Don’t worry, I have a way to make you kill him. Now, I only ask you, do you agree?” Harrison asked.
He just wanted to plant a spy by Simon’s side, just in case.
Bei Yutang pretended to hesitate and struggle, but finally resolutely said, “Okay.”
Harrison never thought that she wouldn’t agree; after all, the people in his territory had a natural trust and closeness to him.
Harrison produced a black pill from somewhere.
“Eat this.”
Bei Yutang knew that it wouldn’t be that simple, but this was her only chance.
She took the pill, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, a long-forgotten voice rang in her mind.
[Ding! The system repair is complete! Initiating initialization…]
Hearing this voice, Bei Yutang felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Before, she only thought that voice was mechanical, cold, and unpleasant, but now hearing it again made her feel at ease.
Actually, she had always worried that Ming would disappear suddenly like Feng.
Now, seeing him return, Bei Yutang’s heart, which had been pounding, finally settled.
[Host, would you like to enter the mission world?]
What did that mean?
Could it be that the world she was in now wasn’t the mission world?
[The world the host is in is the mission world, but the timeline is three thousand years different.]
What?!
“Is it three thousand years forward or three thousand years backward?”
[Three thousand years forward. The correct time for the host to enter is three thousand years later.]
[Host, would you like to enter the mission world?]
This wasn’t a mission world, so she naturally didn’t want to waste time. Fortunately, only a month had passed since she entered this world, which hadn’t taken up too much of her time.
Bei Yutang didn’t hesitate at all: “Go into the mission world.”
What undercover work, what damn assassination—none of it mattered to me.
Harrison, seeing her hesitate to eat and knowing Simon would soon arrive, urged her impatiently, “Eat up!”
Bei Yutang, hearing the countdown in her mind, smiled slightly at Harrison: “I don’t have time to play your undercover game.”
Harrison stared at her in astonishment and then erupted in fury.
A mere blood cow dared to speak so disrespectfully to him; she deserved to die.
Enraged, Harrison attacked her directly.
At the same moment he attacked, Simon appeared.
Simon saw Bei Yutang’s body fly out like a kite, crashing heavily against the wall, her limbs shattered, blood gushing out.
“Tang’er!” Simon’s earth-shattering roar shook the entire stone chamber.

The author has something to say:
The system is so cute, always appearing at the most opportune moment.
Translator’s Comment: It’s not cute! It’s clearly a dereliction of its duty!
I hope he gives Bei Yutang compensation!
