Liu Erlong, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Rou exchanged glances, seeing the mischievous glint in each other's eyes. They had to admit, Sister Yin (Auntie) was truly far-sighted. Someone had just arrived at the mansion, and she immediately invited them to stay. Regardless of whether this woman had any intentions toward their husband, as long as she stayed with him long enough, she certainly wouldn't be able to escape. So, the three of them joined in persuading Wang Qiuer to stay, even saying that they hoped Wang Qiuer would consider the mansion her home and them as her sisters.
Tang Wutong tilted her head, scrutinizing the newcomer. She noticed that the dress the other girl was wearing was the very one she had "lost" that day. She had previously suspected her husband of hiding it, but it seemed she had wronged him. According to what her husband said in his diary, her own incarnation was supposed to officially gain sentience and become the so-called Wang Qiuer ten thousand years later, after receiving a wisp of her divine consciousness. Now, she had been born so much earlier; it must have been her husband's damned system at play.
However, Tang Wutong really wanted to know if this incarnation of hers would truly be on her side. The most important thing was whether this incarnation would help her when her husband bullied her in the future.
Wang Qiuer, at this moment, was completely bewildered. She hadn't expected the women around Zhao Ling to show no anger at all when he brought her back to the mansion. How strange! According to the common knowledge imparted to her by that mysterious diary copy, didn't human women generally aspire to monogamy? If there were too many wives or husbands, they would surely fight fiercely for affection. But looking at the current situation, it seemed they were all eager to keep her. It was absurd, utterly absurd.
Yet, for some reason, Wang Qiuer felt that beneath their enthusiasm lay some ill intent. But thinking that Zhao Ling was the tall, majestic figure in her mind, the man she had sought for so long, she decided to temporarily stay and observe the situation.
Zhao Ling, at this moment, felt incredibly awkward. Who knew that Wang Qiuer, who should have appeared ten thousand years later, would gain sentience and successfully transform due to the system's influence? When he saw Wang Qiuer on the street, he naturally assumed she was Tang Wutong without a second thought. After all, Tang Wutong was someone he had personally summoned from ten thousand years in the future using a character summon card, so he could accept her without issue. But this girl, Wang Qiuer...
Zhao Ling couldn't help but wonder now if the system would continue to secretly play tricks on him and create all sorts of unexpected situations in the future.
"Grr..." Just then, everyone heard a rumbling sound and simultaneously turned their gaze to Wang Qiuer, whose pretty face instantly flushed crimson. During her time in the human world, she had mostly relied on odd jobs for vendors to survive, often having irregular meals. Now, her empty stomach was rumbling restlessly.
Zhao Ling suddenly understood and hurried towards the kitchen. Wang Qiuer had finally delivered herself to his doorstep, and he absolutely had to keep her.
After Zhao Ling left, Tang Wutong leaned closer to Wang Qiuer and asked tentatively, "Qiuer, do you also have that little notebook?"
The other four women also curiously focused their gazes on Wang Qiuer's face, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. However, considering that the woman asking her this question was her "main body," she nodded. "Yes, but it's strange. When I tried to ask if that man was named Zhao Ling just now, I suddenly couldn't make any sound."
"Sure enough! I knew it must be that husband's system playing tricks again," Tang Wutong pouted, complaining with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"System? What's that???" Wang Qiuer looked utterly confused. She hadn't seen any mention of a system in Zhao Ling's diary.
"I can't explain that to you clearly. Since you also have that little notebook, you should know the relationship between us, right?" Tang Wutong raised an eyebrow at Wang Qiuer, her voice laced with coaxing.
"Hmm... I know a little, but not much," Wang Qiuer nodded. "I have no memories of you. In my mind, there's only some common knowledge about the human world. Besides that, there's only the handsome, majestic figure of that man I just saw. A voice in my mind tells me that he should be my husband, the most important man in my life. He's more important than my own life."
"Smack..." Tang Wutong raised her hand and lightly slapped her forehead. It's over! This incarnation of mine is done for. Her husband hadn't even made a move on her, and she had already helped him win herself over. Her husband's damned system was truly shameless; it would stop at nothing to help its master pursue girls.
Ah Yin, Xiao Rou, Liu Erlong, and Xiao Wu all wore mischievous smiles upon hearing this. Heh heh, it seems this unlucky soul, destined to take the hit, won't be able to escape.
Wang Qiuer looked at the four women's meaningful smiles and felt a deep sense of unease. What was going on? Why were they smiling so sinisterly?
After sighing, Tang Wutong raised her hand and gently patted Wang Qiuer on the shoulder. "Since you have such thoughts, I won't stop you. However, I must state beforehand that if I ever get bullied by husband in the future, you must help me unconditionally. Of course, when you're bullied by husband, I'll also help you unconditionally."
Bullied? What did she mean? Did she mean like on the street just now, when Zhao Ling spanked her backside??? Wang Qiuer tilted her head, failing to grasp for a long time what kind of "bullying" she was referring to. But in the end, she nodded heavily. Since her "main body" had said it, she had no reason to refuse.
After Zhao Ling ordered a lavish meal in the kitchen, he left and headed towards the courtyard. He suddenly thought of a question: why hadn't Wang Qiu'er shown any effects from the Lady Killer Lv.4 ability when she saw him, unlike Xiao Wu, Tang Wutong, and the other girls before? Logically, he was definitely interested in Wang Qiu'er , so she shouldn't have been immune to the Lady Killer Lv.4 effect.
After much contemplation without finding a specific reason, Zhao Ling asked the system in his mind. The system's answer was that Wang Qiu'er sentience was born because of Tang Wutong, and specifically, Tang Wutong who had already had intimate contact with Zhao Ling. Therefore, Wang Qiu'er manifestation of the Lady Killer Lv.4 effect was lifelong devotion, even to the point of sharing life and death, which was on the same level as Tang Wutong's feelings for Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling suddenly realized and silently gave the system a thumbs up again. This system was indeed his true brother. With this lifelong devotion, even sharing life and death, Zhao Ling no longer feared that this girl would leave him just because he had spanked her backside a few times. Clearly impossible.
