Chapter 16: My Host, You Are Breaking the Rules (IV)

Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio

Okay, if our families havent found us by tomorrow morning, Ill bring everyone down. Lock the doors and dont open for anyone. Maybe some spirits of the dead will be curious and want to come take a look

The temperature in the room seemed to plunge until it was frigidly cold.

Some of the girls started screaming after they heard the languid way that Jiang Pengji had said those words.

The screams lifted Jiang Pengjis spirits, and her lips crept upward in a smile.

Even though theyre quite conniving, theyre still pretty cute sometimes.

System: Im aware that your views are skewed, but right now, I think youre pretty evil too.

The System believed that Jiang Pengji had made the noble girls hate her for life. Those girls had been raised to be very refined in their behavior, but Jiang Pengji had caused them to lose their tempers quite a few times. It would be odd if they did not hold a grudge.

When youre a little cheeky and mischievous, youre actually more loveable, Jiang Pengji said, giving the System a look that said, You dont understand.

System:

Youre so sure everyone is masochistic?

The clouds were covering the moon that night. It was so dark that you could not even see how many fingers you held up.

Despite the poor visibility, Jiang Pengji did not mind because her night vision had always been pretty good. Her current body was slightly short sighted, but the 0.3% fusion still made the bodys eyesight better than most humans.

Jiang Pengji felt at home in the dark. With her keen senses and hunting experience, it would not be long before she caught something.

She found a bow and arrows in the village and tested the weapon. The bow was roughly made and the string was loose. It was hardly useable.

Shhhhhh

Jiang Pengji did not even aim before she drew three arrows. The bow string was pulled back so tautly that the bow itself bended. She released her hold without hesitation. Even though the arrows did not sound as though they had hit any targets, she did catch something.

Snakes from the past are pretty cute though really small. I think its only worth two bites

Jiang Pengji was being sincere when she said that the snake was adorable. Snakes from her era were big enough to bring down a grass hut.

At that moment, four different comments scrolled down on the streams screen. In addition to Toudu Qiufei, the fearful viewer who still refused to leave, there were three new IDs. They had probably joined the channel by accident.

Lancui Yu Buzhe: Its so dark. Cant see anything. Is the streamer in?

Loushang Wo Nanyou: The channels summary looks interesting

Wujiang Zhacai Ye: This channel is so quiet New streamer?

Toudu Qiufei: Yeah. Its a channel for thrill seekers and lovers of horror

The new viewers were confused. The channels name suggested that they would be watching a harem fight. What did that have to do with horror?

Because she was alone, Jiang Pengji asked aloud, Its too dark to see?

The System immediately turned on the infrared streaming to allow the viewers to see her hunting.

The viewers could not yet see her face; instead, they saw a close up of her killing the venomous snake. Each movement she made was clean and efficient. She carefully kept the fangs and venom sac after she removing them.

The System poked Jiang Pengji: You promised to stream Sometimes youll need to speak and interact with your audience

She was in a good mood, and the Systems request did not seem unreasonable, so she went with it.

Right now were streaming on how to hunt for food Jiang Pengji sighed. She could pretend she was teaching the new recruits of Corp Seven how to hunt and cook. After all, she was once an instructor and therefore had experience teaching. In my hands is a rare beauty

Hoodwinked audience:

The time gap between this era and the one she came from was very wide. Her knowledge of the animals from her own era was of little use here, but she could still deduce certain things. For instance, she could talk about this snakes venom and even its habitat.

Although Im removing its fangs, Id rather talk about how to use it as food. The meat is fresh

Privately, the System curled into a ball in grief.

It was a harem fight streaming system. Not a power struggle channel, not a survival channel, or a gourmet channel!

Before she could talk about how to determine the snakes age or the quality of its meat, Jiang Pengji raised an eyebrow and drew her bow and arrow again.

A big one The girls sure have good luck She laughed as the System felt like crying.

Jiang Pengjis scripted stream style was boring, but her appearance was better than average If her late-night audience was bored, they could just stay in the channel and watch her.

The night was a good one for hunting, and she quickly found the hiding places of her prey.

Half an hour later, she began to carry her spoils back to the den.

Although the bandits were dead, the den was still dangerous. Hungry predators could make their way down the mountains in search of food, or strangers could stumble upon the place by accident.

Those girls were timid, and she could not be at ease when she knew they were alone.

Jiang Pengji quickened her steps and hurried back with a few good kilos of prey. She never once slowed down her speed.

Unbeknownst to her, the girls were just complaining about how they were currently going through hell. The days events had taken a lot out of them. Each girl was pale with fatigue.

They had a fire going, and some of the girls were silent. They did not know what to talk about.

A noble girls average day was refined and elegant.

A few close friends could talk about the latest popular powders, perfumes, or silks. They could also talk about the popular street poet or bard. And if they had nothing to talk about, they could play poetry games A day would have passed just like that.

However, they were so tired and hungry that their bellies had begun hurting.

If they were cold, they could huddle for warmth. But hunger, on the other hand, could not be satiated by any actions

A girl around Shangguan Wans age pouted as her belly rumbled unrefinedly. So hungry

Wan Xiuer quietly consoled the other girl. Liu Xi should be back soon from hunting. Just be patient.

But she bullies people

Before Jiang Pengji left, she had scared everyone. Any sound now frightened the girls because they thought it might be a ghost.

Shangguan Wan was so bored that she picked up a twig and doodled near the fire. Upon hearing what the other girl had said, she lifted her head and retorted, Hmph! When youre hungry, you think of Brother Lanting? Why dont you think about how late it is or how dangerous it is outside?

Wei Jingxian tugged on Shangguan Wans sleeve to stop her from provoking the others.

Everyone was stuck in the same situation now. But once they were back to their normal lives, anyone who still harbored a grudge could try their hand at revenge then.
