Chapter 97

Mingfeng Bank 19

Whether it was Lin Ye's deliberate arrangement or not, Su Yuan did not see the butler all day, nor did she see a single servant from the Crimson Manor.

Su Yuan sat in a swivel leather chair, twirling a fountain pen in her hand.

Although the progress of this dungeon walkthrough is fast, it is all because Lin Ye suffers from a depraved addiction.

This condition made him extremely dependent, extremely possessive, and extremely addicted.

The system has issued a time-limited task, which is what the mother needs to be concerned about, since there is only one day left.

Lin Ye no longer rejects feeding her in public or kissing her in public; in fact, he enjoys it.

After all, the favorability rating of 95 is there.

Unfortunately, this could no longer improve his recovery progress.

System: [Host, the current cure progress for the immoral addiction is 60%.]

After much deliberation, Su Yuan decided to unleash her ultimate move.

The next dose of strong medicine.

While Lin Ye was directing her to get water, she placed the cleaned gray and white kitten on the sofa.

"Clatter-"

Lin Ye pushed open the door and came in, carrying water straight to Su Yuan. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Yuan obediently staying in the office.

His stern expression softened. "Susu, drink some water."

Meow~

Su Yuan took the water and discovered that Lin Ye hadn't heard the cat meow at all, and hadn't even glanced anywhere else.

She was lying to him all along.

However, Lin Ye stared at her with a serious expression, as if afraid she was dying of thirst.

"Why aren't you drinking? Don't you like it?"

"Meow~" The gray and white kitten jumped off the sofa, walked over to Lin Ye's feet, rubbed its head against him, and purred contentedly.

Su Yuan blinked.

Didn't you see that?!

She put down the water, pointed to the ground, and said in a commanding tone, "Lin Ye, you've neglected my new kitten. I'm angry."

Lin Ye's body seemed to stiffen for a moment.

His face didn't look good; he was clearly suppressing his nausea. "Su Su, I don't like cats."

Su Yuan had experienced this feeling before.

This kind of stress response occurs when something you destroyed with your own hands reappears.

This only happens with things you care about.

There was no other way; the mission was urgent.

She had to endure the discomfort.

Su Yuan persisted, "What, you won't even let me keep a kitten?"

"Igris planted a whole yard full of irises for me, all of which are my favorites. It's just a kitten, and you actually..."

Before Su Yuan could finish her unreasonable words, Lin Ye bent over and began to dry heave, as if he had been stimulated by something.

Her throat went dry.

The system silently said: [Admit it, host, you've softened your heart.]

【Shut up!】

The system continues to display the message: [The target's current healing status is 65%!]

Really useful.

Su Yuan reached out and cupped Lin Ye's face in her hands, looking at him earnestly. "Lin Ye, why don't you like cats?"

Lin Ye's mind was filled with those past memories he didn't want to recall.

It's been a long time; he hasn't been affected by these things for a long time.

"Susu, please, let's get a different pet, okay?" He was afraid he would lose control.

"No." Su Yuan refused outright.

This is a disease that needs to be cured.

He shouldn't be trapped like this.

"The kitty is cute, and you're cute too. I specially picked out this gift for you. Are you even going to refuse my gift?" Su Yuan looked sad. "It seems you don't like me that much after all..."

"No." Lin Ye hurriedly grasped Su Yuan's hand.

"I'll listen to you, don't be angry."

He bent down and tentatively tried to pick up the kitten.

As if understanding something, the kitten rubbed its little head against Lin Ye's finger and even licked it.

The long-lost feeling made Lin Ye feel as if he had returned to his childhood.

That gray and white kitten.

He died in the fireplace.

The agonizing screams seemed to still echo in his ears.

"Lin Ye, remember your place. You cannot do whatever you want."

"You should always be mindful of your status!"

"What are you doing! Kill it right now!"

"Lin Ye—"

System warning: [Target's excitement level has skyrocketed! Warning!]

[If the target's excitement level exceeds the limit, it will directly convert into corruption points! The host's favorability will be reset to zero! Warning!]

What?

Su Yuan had expected him to react, but she didn't expect such a strong reaction.

Su Yuan quickly walked to the desk, turned Lin Ye's body upright, and cupped his face in her hands.

"Lin Ye, look at me."

"Look at me!"

Lin Ye seemed to be caught up in some kind of emotion.

His body trembled with excitement, his eyes were bloodshot, and an eerie aura began to spread wildly.

The office light bulbs flickered rapidly, and the objects inside were affected by the eerie and chaotic magnetic field fluctuations, causing them to float up.

A crazed smile gradually appeared on Lin Ye's face.

"Die, damn it."

"I should have killed it, I shouldn't have done this..."

They've gone too far.

Su Yuan narrowed her eyes, at a loss for what to do.

With a determined heart, she grabbed the out-of-control Lin Ye and hugged him tightly.

"Lin Ye, please don't do this, I'm scared."

[She's shooting herself in the foot. Is she out of her mind? She had to get a cat. Even Super High Risk said she doesn't like cats, but she still went ahead and did it.]

[If you don't act recklessly, you won't die. You deserve it, you died a worthy death.]

[Ridiculous! They don't think begging for mercy will make the extremely dangerous control system become bizarre, do they? They're truly despicable.]

[I didn't understand Liu Shen's move. If you did, type "1".]

System Warning: [The target's healing level is rapidly decreasing—50%, 40%,...! Attention! Attention!]

The system suggests that the host abandon the timed task, and provides remedial measures:

[Option 1: The host abandons this timed mission and loses 1 lifespan point. The system will forcibly suppress the target's excitement level for 24 hours, while retaining their favorability.]

[Option Two: The host abandons the mission and allows the target to become corrupted, the favorability rating is reset to zero, the mission is declared a failure, and no rewards are given.]

The dog system has already started taking remedial measures.

Looks like they've really gone too far.

System: [Warning! Warning!]

[Please make your choice as soon as possible, host!]

Su Yuan's eyes darkened slightly. She raised her hand, then lowered it.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap rang out in the live stream.

The chat was silent.

The next second it flashed wildly.

Has she gone mad? Gone is she? She actually slapped someone in a very dangerous way!

[This extremely high-risk state is clearly abnormal; it's a sign that the eerie energy is spiraling out of control. The best course of action now is to escape immediately!]

The frenzied smile on Lin Ye's face didn't stop with the slap; in fact, it grew faster and faster out of control.

The system's emergency alert continued.

Su Yuan took a deep breath.

Just when the viewers in the live stream thought she had finally decided to run away, the crisp sound of a slap rang out twice more.

She had said everything she could, good or bad, but her patience had its limits.

It really makes my hands itch to prevent her from gaining lifespan points.

Su Yuan rubbed her wrist, her patience exhausted. "Lin Ye, I'll count to three."

Counting to three or ten won't help, just run! Do you really want to wait to die?

[This is hilarious! This drama queen is truly a case of "if she doesn't act up, she'll die; but the more she acts up, the faster she dies."]

"three,"
