"Miss! Miss, something terrible has happened!"
A frantic voice shattered the silence in the small courtyard, abruptly waking Luo Liyan, who had been reclining on a chaise lounge.
She slowly opened her eyes, her long, phoenix-shaped eyes glistening with a misty brilliance that made her gaze particularly captivating.
"Shut your mouth! The Miss is perfectly fine. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for having you punished," the young girl in a pink dress standing nearby scolded irritably.
The little maid trembled in fear and immediately knelt on the ground. "Miss, the Old Madam won't be able to sing the coming-of-age ceremony song for you today."
Her voice was thick with sobs, causing everyone in the room to start whispering anxiously.
"What should we do? What should we do? There's only half an hour left before the auspicious hour. If we miss it, how will the Miss hold her head up in the noble circles of the capital?" Mu Zhi fretted, clenching her fists as she paced back and forth.
Luo Liyan's face remained tense as she looked at her stunning reflection in the mirror, seemingly stunned by the news.
But in reality, her mind was already in turmoil.
"Xiao Liuzi, get out here right now!!!"
【Oh, come on, it's been so long since we've seen each other. No need to be so worked up on our first reunion!】The mischievous voice of Number 666 echoed in her mind.
"Get out here right now, and I promise I won't kill you! Tell me, why am I in ancient times? I'm a modern woman, and you actually made me come to a male-dominated, patriarchal society to complete a mission. Do you think I wouldn't chop up a male protagonist with multiple wives and feed him to the dogs?"
【Why wouldn't there be ancient times? In the three thousand big worlds and three thousand small worlds, anything you can think of exists somewhere. And how can you be so sure the male lead will have multiple wives? Our male lead this time might not even have anyone willing to marry him.】
"What? Don't tell me you've found me a eunuch?" Luo Liyan blinked rapidly in shock.
【Relax, he's one hundred percent a man, guaranteed.】Number 666 reassured her, thumping its chest. 【I'd never trick you, right?】
"So?" Luo Liyan snorted skeptically. "Then why wouldn't any girl dare to marry him?"
She couldn't believe that there was any man in ancient times who couldn't get a wife or wouldn't have multiple wives once he did.
【Well, it's said that he eats people.】Number 666 whispered mysteriously.
"Get lost! Roll as far away as you can right now!"
Luo Liyan scoffed. This was the kind of thing even a three-year-old wouldn't fall for, yet Xiao Liuzi thought he could trick her with it.
A system that's supposed to be all-knowing and all-powerful was seriously trying to feed her nonsense.
【Don't be like that, you'll hurt my feelings!】Number 666 chuckled awkwardly.
【Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Our male lead in this world just turned 20, has no marriage prospects, and doesn't have any past loves or unrequited crushes. The tricky part is, he has a bit of a temper and tends to go on killing sprees at the slightest provocation. A couple of years ago, some people tried to arrange marriages for him, but those girls ended up either dead or maimed, so this special case has been handed over to our Reincarnation Club.】
"So you're saying that all the girls who tried to marry him were... dealt with by him? So... do you think I'm invincible, or that I have nine lives like a cat? For someone like this great demon king, you should have let him die alone!" Luo Liyan protested vehemently.
