SBCEJM -Chapter 217 Forced to Work on Her First Day as a System? The Host Gets a Live Tutorial on How to Fool the War God!

Shen Sangsang immediately sprang into action.

She tiptoed to the door and carefully cracked it open for a peek—

The corridor outside was completely empty, not even a ghost in sight.

Good.

She took a deep breath and worked up her emotions.

Then—

“Bang!”

She kicked the door open with force!

“Y-You! What are you doing?!”

Shen Sangsang’s voice trembled with shock and fury.

“First you knocked me unconscious outside the door, and now you’re… you’re doing this to my husband!”

“Are you even human?!”

Feng Zexuan instantly cooperated, activating the system’s voice simulation feature.

A strange, mocking female voice drifted from deep inside the room, light and disdainful:

“Oh my, I got caught~”

“I already let you marry him in my place, so what’s wrong with playing around with him a little?”

“Anyway, he can’t wake up, so I’m just relieving some boredom~”

On the bed—

Xiao Zhanfeng’s consciousness jolted violently.

【What?!】

【Shen Sangsang married in her place?!】

Shen Sangsang continued her dramatic performance, her voice even carrying a sob.

“Sister, have you gone mad?!”

“I already helped you marry into this family, why won’t you leave us alone?”

“He’s the War God! The guardian of Great Liang! How could you do something like this to him?!”

“Leave! Get out now! I’m going to call someone!”

The “Shen Ruoyun” simulated by Feng Zexuan let out a cold sneer.

“Go ahead, scream all you want!”

“Who would believe a shameless woman who stole her sister’s marriage anyway?!”

“Tch, I’ve had my fun. Shen Sangsang, just live happily ever after with this useless cripple!”

“I’m leaving~”

“Hehehehe—”

The eerie laughter gradually faded away.

“Bang!”

Shen Sangsang slammed the door shut.

She turned and hurried to the bedside, lowering her voice with guilt and heartache.

“Husband… I’m sorry…”

“It’s all my fault. I couldn’t protect you…”

“If I hadn’t agreed to marry in her place, my sister would’ve killed herself…”

“I… I never thought she’d do something like this to you…”

Xiao Zhanfeng’s inner thoughts fluctuated violently.

【So… that’s what happened…】

【She’s such a soft-hearted and kind girl.】

【Ding! Detected initial affection from target Xiao Zhanfeng toward host!】

【Affection +1%】

【Current affection level: 1%】

【Points +1000】

【Current total points: 1200】

Shen Sangsang stared at the flashing numbers on the screen.

【That’s it?】

【Only 1%?!】

【I acted my heart out and this is all I get?!】

【Is this War God made of stone or something?!】

“Host, don’t rush!”

Feng Zexuan switched back into her “system” tone.

“Relationships need to develop step by step~”

【Then what should I do next?】 Shen Sangsang asked.

Feng Zexuan glanced at the system panel.

Relationship Progress: 1%
Career Progress: 0%

“According to the plot, the palace will send people tomorrow morning to confiscate the estate.”

“What we need to do now is empty out all the treasure vaults in the Duke Zhenguo Manor.”

After a pause, she added:

“And the imperial palace vaults too.”

Shen Sangsang: 【T-This is way too exciting!】

【But I don’t know martial arts! How am I supposed to sneak into the palace?】

Feng Zexuan grinned.

“But I do!”

“You can spend points to hire me as your bodyguard.”

“One hour… hmm… 2000 points should do.”

【That expensive?!】

“Fair pricing, no bargaining,” Feng Zexuan declared confidently.

“And my martial arts are amazing!”

“Lightness skills, hidden weapons, disguises—I’m proficient in all of them!”

【Then… alright.】 Shen Sangsang gritted her teeth.

【Take my points!】

“Uh, miss,” Feng Zexuan reminded her.

“You only have 1200 points right now…”

“You’d better save me for when you really need help!”

【Fine then…】

Just as Shen Sangsang was about to leave, Feng Zexuan suddenly stopped her.

“Wait! Put medicine on his butt first.”

“That’ll get you affection points, won’t it?”

Shen Sangsang slapped her forehead.

【Right! How could I forget?!】

She pulled out a bottle labeled “Special Swelling Relief Spray” from her storage space.

A white bottle with a pale blue cap, printed with the words—

“Immortal Quality, Effective in Three Seconds.”

She aimed it at Xiao Zhanfeng’s swollen backside and gently pressed the nozzle.

“Hiss—”

A pale blue mist sprayed onto his skin.

Feng Zexuan stared at the screen.

The two swollen “steamed buns” visibly deflated before her eyes—

First the color faded, changing from liver-red to pink, while the bruising slowly disappeared.

Three seconds later—

His skin had completely returned to normal.

As if he had never been beaten at all.

Xiao Zhanfeng’s inner voice rang out:

【Hm?】

【It doesn’t hurt anymore?】

【It was burning just moments ago, and now…】

【What kind of medicine did she use?】

【Shen Sangsang… can she really cure me?】

【Ding! Affection +5%】

【Current affection level: 6%】

【Points +5000】

【Current total points: 6200】

Seeing the rapidly increasing numbers, Shen Sangsang was overjoyed.

【This is way too easy!】

“Strike while the iron’s hot!” Feng Zexuan instructed.

“Lean close to his ear and say something emotional!”

Shen Sangsang leaned in.

Her warm breath brushed against Xiao Zhanfeng’s ear.

Lowering her voice, she said word by word:

“Husband…”

“No matter what price I have to pay, I’ll cure you.”

“Even if I have to climb mountains of blades or cross seas of fire…”

“Even if I lose everything…”

“I’ll make you wake up again.”

Xiao Zhanfeng’s heartbeat became chaotic.

【She…】

【Why would she go this far for me?】

【We barely even spoke before…】

【Could it be… she already…】

【Ding! Affection +5%】

【Current affection level: 11%】

【Points +5000】

【Current total points: 11200】

“Do something even more exciting!”

Feng Zexuan egged her on.

“This chance won’t come again!”

“If you don’t kiss him now, once he wakes up you won’t get the chance!”

Shen Sangsang clenched her teeth.

Closed her eyes.

Leaned in—

Smack!

She planted a hard kiss on Xiao Zhanfeng’s cheek.

Xiao Zhanfeng’s consciousness exploded instantly!

【She… she kissed me?!】

【How bold!】

【How could she…】

【Wait… we’re already married…】

【She is my… wife…】

【Ding! Affection +10%】

【Current affection level: 21%】

【Points +10000】

【Current total points: 21200】

Inside the system space, Feng Zexuan nearly laughed herself to death.

【Holy crap!】

【This War God is way too innocent!】

【He gets shy just from one kiss?!】

【Tsk tsk tsk, with that vicious sister Shen Ruoyun as comparison, Shen Sangsang looks like an angel no matter what she does!】

【Contrast really is king!】

【I should’ve charged 5000 points per hour from the start!】

【What a huge loss!】

Shen Sangsang wiped the corner of her mouth.

【Xiao Ling…】

Looking at the skyrocketing points, her eyes sparkled.

【I think I’ve found the secret to getting rich!】

“Don’t celebrate too early,” Feng Zexuan poured cold water on her excitement.

“The higher the affection gets, the harder it’ll be to increase.”

“Take advantage of the novelty while it lasts and earn as many points as possible.”

After a pause, she continued:

“Next up, we loot the treasury.”

【Right!】

Shen Sangsang stood up and gazed affectionately at Xiao Zhanfeng on the bed.

“Husband, I’m going to find medicine for you now.”

“Wait for me.”

“I’ll definitely cure you.”

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xiao Zhanfeng’s thoughts continued:

【She’s going to look for medicine?】

【It’s the middle of the night… the mountains are dangerous…】

【She’s just a woman…】

【Damn it… why can’t I move…】
