IF THIS STORY GETS TAKEN DOWN AGAIN IT WON'T COME BACK UP

As the sky gradually brightened, occasional stifled coughs echoed in the dimly lit room. Two girls dressed as maids stood outside the door, looking anxious.

"The doctor still hasn't arrived? The Eldest Young Master won't let us in, and Master is not at home. What should we do about the Eldest Young Master..."

One of the two maids interrupted her, "Bah, bah, bah, don't speak nonsense. The Eldest Young Master's fate is guided by the heavens. Xiao Tao, you must not speak such nonsense again."

"I'm talking nonsense, sister, please don't blame me." Xiao Tao pretended to cover her mouth, but her eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. The Eldest Young Master's condition was well-known in the house, but these two silly maids believed in the doctor's comforting words, thinking the Eldest Young Master would have better days.

The hushed discussions outside reached the ears of Li Shu, who was sitting on the bed expressionlessly, his eyes filled with frost. Anyone who suddenly discovered their thousand years of cultivation were lost in an instant, and that their body was deteriorating as if it could perish at any moment, would not have a pleasant expression.

[I...I can explain! Really!] 1314 cowered in a corner, shivering. It never expected to overturn when binding the second host.

1314 graduated with honors from the System Academy. It thought it could achieve great things, but it never expected the first mission to end in disaster. After finally getting a second chance, it bound the wrong host-a host who had just emerged from a mountain of corpses and blood. What a miserable system.

[Can you tell me what's happening now?]

Before being brought to this world by the system, Li Shu was dealing with an endless stream of assassins. A group of cultivators somehow learned about his seclusion and infiltrated the closed-door cultivation site to kill him. Those people's methods were vicious, attacking one wave after another. Li Shu had to pause his breakthrough to deal with them.

When he was brought into the system's space, Li Shu was already bloodthirsty and his sanity was almost gone. 1314 knew things had gone wrong when it brought him the system space, but the contract was already made, and it was too late to back out.

1314 stumbled through an explanation to the host, [Host, this is how it is.]

[So, you saved me?] Li Shu lowered his eyes, contemplating. He had no memory of the time in between the moment he went berserk and entered the system space to the time he entered this small world. He also had no impression of the sudden addition of this little thing in his mind. So, how reliable were its words?

[No... that's not the case.] A strange survival instinct made 1314 reluctant to claim credit, [Even without me, the host could have escaped the danger.]

[Is that so? If that's the case, how do I go back?] Even if he reached the Nine-Tailed realm, Li Shu couldn't break through the world barrier. He wondered how the small entity in his sea of consciousness achieved this. Even though it was not that strong, it could safely take him into another world?

[The host can only return to the original world after completing the mission.]

Sure enough, Li Shu knew things wouldn't be so simple. How could a pie fall from the sky? [Tell me, what is this mission?]

[Host, the mission is very simple.] 1314 hesitated, casting a cautious glance at the host. Unable to discern the host's expression, it continued, [Just help the male and female protagonists connect their red threads so that they can be happy together.]
