Chapter 4: What do you mean by "your Supreme Bone is love-struck"?
Hearing the applause and praise behind him, Xiao Bai suddenly sheathed his sword and turned around, only to see a black-haired girl standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a dark-colored long dress, with long, straight black hair that fell to her waist, but her eyes were a rare rose-red.
Her waist was as slender as a willow swaying in the breeze, her feet as delicate as bamboo shoots wrapped in gauze; her gait was more graceful than a colorful lotus. Only her chest remained as still as a lake, without the slightest ripple, a true disappointment…
At this moment, she was leaning against the courtyard gate with her arms crossed, a faint smile playing on her lips, looking at Xiao Bai in the courtyard with great interest.
If Dong Mo were here, he would recognize him at a glance.
The ordinary-looking girl with black hair in front of him was his nominal younger sister.
She is also the unfortunate girl in the game's storyline whose supreme bone was cruelly taken away by him, and Dong Yueying, the adopted daughter of the Dong family and one of the important female protagonists.
Upon seeing Dong Yueying's visit, Xiao Bai dared not be negligent and immediately sheathed his sword and bowed with utmost respect.
"This servant... greets Miss Yueying."
Dong Yueying waved her hand and slowly walked into the courtyard, looking around.
"No need for formalities. I don't have that kind of air about me."
Dong Yueying stopped in front of Xiao Bai and said to him in a half-joking tone.
"Xiao Bai, why don't you follow me from now on?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai was taken aback.
"I'm very interested in your swordsmanship..." Dong Yueying smiled and held up two fingers to Xiao Bai, saying, "No matter what conditions my brother offered you before, I'm willing to pay double!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's expression turned serious, and he was about to refuse Dong Yueying.
However, before she could utter her refusal, a familiar voice came from under the eaves.
"Feel sorry."
Dong Mo strode up to Xiao Bai and shielded him behind him.
"My Xiao Bai is not for sale."
Looking at Dong Mo blocking his way, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a sudden tremor in his heart.
"Young Master..."
Seeing this, Dong Yueying was not annoyed. She just narrowed her eyes and looked back and forth between Dong Mo and Xiao Bai with a slightly amused expression.
Then, with a smile, she said to Dong Mo.
"It's been two months, but you still look as dashing as ever, elder brother."
Dong Mo raised an eyebrow, ignoring her words, and instead asked directly and bluntly.
"Did those old men at home send you here so you could persuade me to go home?"
Upon hearing this, Dong Yueying immediately expressed her displeasure with a reproachful expression.
"Brother, you are mistaken. As a younger sister, isn't it perfectly normal for me to come and visit my brother who has been away from home for many days?"
Dong Yueying spoke with sincerity, but Dong Mo did not lower his guard against this important female protagonist in the game.
The reason Dong Mo went out to greet Dong Yueying was not because he had some kind of premonition that Dong Yueying would come.
Instead, a new notification suddenly popped up on the system panel while he was resting in the room.
[New victim detected: Dong Yueying]
[Target: Supreme Bone]
[Personality Tags: Fangirl, looks-obsessed, love-struck!]
Dong Mo glanced at Dong Yueying, then at the three lines of small text displayed by the system. Though his face remained impassive, he was inwardly cursing.
Hehe... Good, very good, very powerful.
As expected of the Yellow Hair System! They can even use the Supreme Bone to conquer people, huh?
Haji Thong, you really think I'm not dead fast enough.
In the original story, I became cannon fodder because I stole Dong Yueying's Supreme Bone!
You want me to conquer Supreme Bone? Heh heh! Whoever wants to conquer Supreme Bone can conquer him!
If I, Dong Mo, were to touch it even once, I would be a dog!
Just as Dong Mo was getting into a tirade, the system panel in front of him suddenly changed.
[Upon seeing the host, the Supreme Bone felt that the host's appearance was exactly what she fancied.]
[The Supreme Bone fell in love with its host at first sight, and its favorability rating has increased significantly.]
[Strategy Progress: 35%]
[It's...too late to turn back!]
Dong Mo: ? ? ?
Huh? What is that?
The Supreme Bone, love at first sight? For me?
I haven't done anything! How come you've already started planning your own strategy?
Isn't your supreme bone a bit too oppressive?
Is this the Supreme Bone, or a Love Poison...?
[Supreme Bone: He's so handsome, so dashing, and he smells so good...]
Ah, I'm already drunk...
Dong Mo stared at the prompts that kept popping up on the panel, his eyebrows twitching involuntarily.
Hiss... Something's not right. Something's wrong with your Supreme Bone!
[Hiss... Hiss... Closer, you idiot Dong Yueying, get closer! Let me get a little closer to Lord Dong Mo!]
Faced with Supreme Bone's series of outrageous statements, Dong Mo quickly distanced himself from Dong Yueying and discreetly began to observe his little sister.
To be honest, this was the first time he had officially met his nominal sister since he transmigrated.
After all, ever since he transmigrated, Dong Mo's mind has been filled with thoughts of escaping the Dong family.
He hadn't had much contact with the Dong family members, and today was the first time he had officially met Dong Yueying.
Speaking of which... I quite liked this character when I was playing the game.
The character illustration of Dong Yueying in the game is of extremely high quality.
The reason Dong Mo bought this game was because the cover art of Dong Yueying, with her red eyes and long, straight black hair, caught his eye.
Later, when playing the game and experiencing the storyline, Dong Yueying's seemingly cold but actually warm personality was also very endearing, and her voice acting was top-notch.
Even when players are trying to woo her, her various shy reactions are perfectly captured.
As for the bonus CG after being fully conquered—
cough cough...
Dong Mo quickly regained his composure.
He did remember those fan service CGs vividly, but the problem was that he had now transmigrated into her cannon fodder villain brother, which was extremely awkward.
"Brother, why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Dong Yueying looked at Dong Mo expressionlessly.
Dong Mo withdrew his gaze and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Oh...it's nothing."
"I just feel like you've grown taller in the two months I haven't seen you."
After saying that, Dong Mo guiltily looked away.
Seeing this, Dong Yueying didn't ask any further questions, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyes.
As the adopted daughter of the Dong family, she didn't actually have much contact with Dong Mo, who was the legitimate son.
Therefore, in her memory, this older brother was mostly a cold and mean spoiled rich kid.
Even when they occasionally meet, he always looks at her with that condescending gaze.
I wouldn't say I hate them, but I certainly wouldn't call them close either.
But this time when they met, she felt that Dong Mo was acting strangely.
She couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.
Maybe it's just my imagination...
Dong Mo glanced at the system panel and saw that the Supreme Bone in Dong Yueying's body seemed to have calmed down and stopped acting crazy towards him, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he got straight to the point and asked his sister.
"Tell me. What conditions did those old fogies at home offer you to persuade you to personally come to Void City to convince me to go back?"
Dong Yueying swayed slightly, and her crystal-clear lips twitched almost imperceptibly as she forced a fake smile.
"Brother, didn't I tell you? I came to visit you because I really missed you..."
Dong Yueying tilted her head, looking at Dong Mo "obediently." If it were someone else, they might really be moved by her well-behaved and sensible younger sister image.
However, as a gamer, Dong Mo knew his adopted younger sister's personality all too well.
"Stop acting. You know better than I do that we're not that close. You wouldn't have come to me on your own initiative if no one had told you to..."
After Dong Mo said this, the living room fell silent for a moment.
Dong Yueying's smile faded, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she took a deep breath.
"Since you already know, why waste time saying anything more?"
Dong Yueying said this, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Actually, as an adopted daughter, she had always envied her older brother.
No, it's less about envy and more about jealousy.
After all, as the eldest son of the family, Dong Mo was showered with all the family's love from birth.
All cultivation resources are being directed towards him, and everyone in the family cares about him!
These are precisely the things that Dong Yueying, as an adopted daughter, longed for but could not obtain!
So ever since she heard that Dong Mo had run away from home and wanted to give up everything his family had given him.
Dong Yueying could never understand Dong Mo.
They even felt that he was somewhat ungrateful.
Recalling this moment, Dong Yueying clenched her fists, and her usually calm, rose-red eyes finally revealed her true emotions.
"I'll just ask you one question: are you coming back with me or not?"
Without waiting for Dong Mo's reply, she continued speaking rapidly.
"Do you know how worried your whole family was about you while you were away from home?"
"The patriarch worries about you every day, the ancestor personally inquires about you several times a day, and the elders are also extremely anxious."
"You, on the other hand, are hiding here enjoying yourself. Have you ever thought about how your elders at home feel?"
Dong Mo scoffed, "Are you worried about me? Or are you worried that your family's once-in-a-millennium Double Pupil Saint Physique will just be lost like this?"
"How could you think like that!" Dong Yueying rebuked Dong Mo with fiery red eyes.
"Your family has worked so hard to raise you, giving you life and even providing you with so many resources!"
"It's one thing that you don't know how to be grateful and give back to your family, but to say something like that!"
Dong Yueying's chest heaved violently, and her eyes were bloodshot; she was clearly furious with Dong Mo.
Dong Mo was slightly taken aback when he saw her like this.
Huh? That's strange...
Why is Dong Yueying suddenly defending the Dong family? I remember she hated the Dong family the most in the story.
