The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 36 Greedy and Small

*Two and a half bottles later*

"Hek... Hek..."Sun Fengmian was beaming at Li Yue. This time she really was not faking it. Her gaze had turned blurry, her face flushed and her breath reeked of alcohol. "Yue... you really are a great kid. I like you." All of the evil thoughts that Sun Fengmian had in mind earlier had already vanished. She could not even get up without staggering, how could she take photos of Mo Li and Li Yue when her consciousness was barely holding on?

Seeing Sun Fengmian struggling to get the words out of her mouth, Li Yue immediately beamed. She was sure that this woman was no longer pretending to be drunk. Of course, Li Yue was already grinning inwardly as she thought about the coins that she will earn once she get this woman drunk.

"You... remind me of someone I know." Sun Fengmian leaned towards Li Yue’s side. "It’s a secret... alright? Don’t tell Mo Li about it."

Li Yue’s lips twitched as she eyed Mo Li who was dead asleep next to her. The man ended up sleeping right after they finished their very first bottle of alcohol. It seems that his lean body is not so used to alcohol. Seeing Mo Li like this, Li Yue’s eyes sparkled. She could only see money lying next to her.

"Alright... Aunt Feng." Li Yue pretended to stutter too.

"My Lover." Sun Fengmian said in a hushed tone before she let out an insidious laugh. Then

*THUD*

Before Li Yue could ask anything, Sun Fengmian’s head landed on the table. She had fallen asleep!

[Side Quest: Make Sun Fengmian Drunk. Quest Completed. Reward 10 coins.]

Li Yue smiled and nodded her head. As expected, she really is the great and might Li Yue."Mo Fang..." She tried to call out. When she heard no one responding to her soft voice, Li Yue immediately opened her phone that was still recording and snapped some pictures of Mo Li and Sun Fengmian.

Li Yue was only being careful. She does not know the whole plot so she could not predict what would happen in the future. Thus, she had to take every measure possible to ensure her survival. ’Hey Robot, What will happen after I accomplish my mission? Will I die?’ she asked.

[You will be given five years to stay in this world before dying a painful death.]

’Pain— Painful death?’

[It was a joke.]

Silence. It was as if Li Yue’s brain had short circuited when she heard the Robot’s answer. She patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief. ’Wait... which part of that is a joke?’

[Unauthorized to answer.]

"..." Li Yue could only let out another sigh. This Robot had cheated her over and over again and she could not fight against it as she is currently really weak. After another sigh, Li Yue rose from her seat and left the room. She needed to find that Mo Fang. It did not take too long for Li Yue to realize that Mo Fang had actually left the house! He left his mother and Mo Li together!

How is that possible? How could he leave his mother alone? Frowning, Li Yue could only sit on the couch silently as she contemplated the situation. This could mean that the other side quest would fail. ’Robot. How long do I have to finish the side quest?’

[You have twenty four hours to finish the quest.]

As expected, there really is a time limit for that quest. Li Yue understood that the side quests involving Bai Lan and Sun Fengmian were easy. Because of this, the reward is also not that big. Compared to ruining Lu Xinyi’s life, making Bai Lan faint and Sun Fengmian drunk were really simple tasks. However, this is not the thing that was troubling her. She was actually thinking about the timer for the quests.

The timer for Making Bai Lan faint in anger would last for twenty four hours. Meaning, she had twenty four hours to accomplish the quest. That had raised the difficulty of the quest by a notch. So why is the reward still this small? With the time constraints, the rewards should have been at least a bit bigger, no? Meanwhile, the quest of ruining Lu Xinyi whose timer was a week gave an even bigger reward. Was it because that quest involved ruining someone’s life and possibly even death?

Does this mean that the quest rewards are measured based on the consequences of the task and not the time constraints? Now that Li Yue thinks about it... that idea really made some sense.

’Robot, what will happen if I don’t accomplish the quests within twenty four hours?’

[Coin Deduction.]

’How much?’ she asked. Surely, the deduction is not that big right?

[Ten Coins.] Of course, the Robot’s answer was enough to make Li Yue’s brows crease. Ten Coins may not sound too big, but for someone like her who currently had only sixty coins including the ones that she had just earned for making Sun Fengmian drunk, it was phenomenally big. But, what can she do?

Li Yue’s eyes turned cloudy. Is she supposed to find Mo Fang just to make him laugh? This failure will serve as an important lesson for her in the future. For the umpteenth time, Li Yue let out a long sigh. It seems that she will need to learn a lot of things if she wants to survive in every world she is sent to.

When Mo Li woke up, it was already dawn. His hand immediately clutched his aching head. He frowned. ’What the hell happened?’ he thought as he noticed his shirtless body on the bed.

"Young Master... Miss Li went to her home. Madam Sun is still sleeping in the guest bedroom."

"What happened?" He noticed his guard and most trusted subordinate seemingly freeze at his question. "What?"

"Miss Li..."

"Did she take advantage of me while I was out drunk?" the thought made his face grow even darker.

"Miss Li took your shirt off and took a lot of pictures of you while you were sleeping. I thought... I thought it was because she liked you that much so I didn’t reveal myself to stop her."

The frown on Mo Li’s face dilated when he heard what the guard had been guarding him since he was a child said. "So the rat wanted to make money out of me." He snorted.

"R— rat?"

"That girl is greedy and small. Isn’t she just like a rat?"
