She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

At first, Tan Sui’s appearance was somewhat striking, but upon getting to know her, one would see her as a pitiable girl who could only use exaggerated looks to disguise herself, express herself, and protect herself.

When Tan Sui first came inside, she seemed like a shy girl with bright and clear eyes, evidently hopeful for the future and understanding many things.

However, after merely heading upstairs and coming down again, their impression of her seemed different.

Now Tan Sui still looked like a high school student, yet her demeanor had drastically changed, subtly terrifying.

What on earth is going on?

Huo Jingchen was cautious, instinctively shielding Qin Lin behind him.

Tan Sui noticed his action and let out a cold laugh. Being the core here, Tan Sui naturally understood their information from the rules. She was certainly aware of their conversations here.

It was precisely this Huo Jingchen. If not for his deception, Sister Chenchen wouldn’t have ventured here for adventure.

They certainly seemed affectionate.

Unfortunately, the rules constrained her from doing anything.

Besides, Sister Chenchen had already negotiated with them, so she couldn’t do anything lest Sister Chenchen becomes displeased.

Huo Jingchen and Qin Lin sensed Tan Sui’s lack friendliness towards them, growing even more worried.

They shouldn’t have offended Tan Sui, right?

Fortunately, Tan Sui only sneered and didn’t do anything unnecessary.

Just then, they noticed that behind Tan Sui was someone else, surprisingly Tan Rui. Didn’t Tan Rui go to school? Haven’t seen Tan Rui return, what’s going on? Especially Huo Jingchen, who hadn’t taken a nap and was in the living room all along, certain Tan Rui hadn’t returned.

Wei Wenlan, Qin Lin, and Wei Yao had gone for a nap, and after hearing some noise downstairs, hurriedly came down, just in time to see Tan Sui returning to her room. They hadn’t seen what happened, but they learned of the situation from Huo Jingchen.

Upon realizing the monster had slipped away, they felt somewhat relieved yet remained on edge, fearing it might return. With a few hours left to end this level, they decided against going up, believing it’s safer to gather everyone together.

At this moment, Tan Sui nudged Tan Rui: ”Hurry up and apologize to Sister Chenchen.”

Apologize? Apologize for what?

Those unaware were puzzled.

Tan Rui was evidently afraid of Tan Sui, obediently approaching Ah Chen: ”I’m sorry.”

”Be specific,” Tan Sui warned.

Sure enough, looking like Tan Rui is truly detestable, she felt a triple disgust just from watching.

”I shouldn’t have turned into a monster earlier to attack Sister Chenchen, I’m sorry for frightening Sister Chenchen, it was all my fault,” Tan Rui said, then pitifully glanced at Tan Sui, completely losing his previously spoiled demeanor.

Tan Sui curled her lip and finally felt satisfied: ”Alright, come back.”

Tan Rui sighed in relief and obediently sat beside her.

”Indeed, much more pleasing to the eye,” she commented, causing Tan Rui to exhale deeply in relief.

What does this mean? Huo Jingchen and the others remained bewildered.

”Sister Chenchen, I’ve remembered everything. Thank you for your appearance, allowing me to overcome my obsession,” Tan Sui said solemnly, standing up and deeply bowing to Ah Chen with a smile on her face, ”This is my domain, soon to be upgraded. We won’t be repeating the old plot in the future. Once you leave, I’ll establish new stories and rules.”

”I’ve got it planned out, it’ll be related to studies.”

Tan Sui spoke enthusiastically: ”Make them all go to school, take exams, pass to clear the level, and those who score well will get extra rewards.”

Everyone: sympathy for future adventurers.

Now they finally understood, Tan Sui had overcome her obsession, clearly communicating with them. Because of Li Chen, they remained fairly friendly, as long as they didn’t deliberately trigger the rules, nothing much should happen next, the first level was considered clear.

”What would happen here if you didn’t overcome?” Wei Wenlan curiously asked.

She wasn’t really afraid of Tan Sui, perhaps because Tan Sui was quite friendly to her.

Tan Sui said: ”After jumping down to die, I would become a mindless vengeful ghost, brutally slaughtering Tan Family members before your eyes. The moment the villa was sealed off, you couldn’t leave, only helplessly watching whoever dared interfere would be killed.”

Everyone felt chills upon hearing this, such a scene would be hard to bear, the outside world is peaceful, people shouldn’t be killed casually, they’d never experienced such a terrifying scene before.

Thinking about it, they were fortunate Li Chen helped Tan Sui awaken, otherwise they would have faced such a horror, just thinking about it gave them goosebumps.

The door opened and the Tan Family returned.

This time, the Tan Family’s attitude shifted greatly. After greeting Ah Chen and the others, they all stood beside Tan Sui with somewhat flattering expressions. Clearly, after Tan Sui awakened, they realized something, she was the domain’s true owner; they were essentially composed of grudges and obsessions, continuing or ceasing to exist depended solely on Tan Sui’s wishes.

”Who cut the carpet?” Tan Sui asked, though who knows how much time has passed, Tan Sui still wanted an answer, even if they weren’t truly themselves, it served as a complete farewell to the past.

Tan Rui stepped forward, heads down: ”It was me.”

”Who broke the decoration?” Tan Sui continued asking.

Tan Rui immediately responded: ”I broke it while playing ball in the living room, patched it up fearing scolding from parents, and later it shattered with a light touch from you.”

”Who picked the flowers in the garden?” Tan Sui asked again.

Tan Yao stepped forward: ”It was me, I wanted to make a garland.”

”Who stole the money and jewelry?”

Tan Rui quickly said, ”It was me, in order to draw cards.”

Looking at their obedient demeanor, Tan Sui suddenly felt bored and waved her hand at them: ”Alright, you can go back to your rooms. You’ve been allowed to stay, just don’t disturb me while I’m with my guest.”

It really wasn’t them. As she sobered up, they only feared her.

”Do you want to know what happened afterwards?” Ah Chen asked Tan Sui, ”When I get out, I’ll help you find out.”

”Thank you, Sister Chenchen. I am indeed curious, but so much time has passed, they may not even exist anymore. It’s really unnecessary,” Tan Sui said, ”As you said, they don’t care about me, so why should I dwell on it?”

”Sister Chenchen, I hope you can get through all the challenges smoothly, and everything goes as you wish.” Tan Sui held Ah Chen’s hand, her face full of sincerity, ”After you clear the levels, remember to visit me.”

”Alright.” Ah Chen agreed.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, everyone heard the level completion prompt.

[Adventurers, congratulations on safely spending a day at the Tan family villa and completing a hidden task. The challenge field has been upgraded, and coins will be doubled for you. There are also some extra rewards, remember to check them!]

Ah Chen and the others were transported out of the villa. She saw Tan Sui waving her hand, so she raised her hand to wave goodbye as well.

Appearing in an empty rest space, everyone finally checked their rewards.

Ah Chen looked into her backpack, somewhat surprised. There were quite a lot, certainly because of Tan Sui.

Tan Sui’s Blessing: When under life-threatening attack, can summon Tan Sui once.

Dagger ×1: Intermediate item, can be used permanently

Basic Substitute Card ×1

Basic Shield Card ×1

Basic Speed Card ×1

Basic Attack Card ×1

(All cards have one-third the power of Tan Sui, each card can only be used once)

Coins +1000

Wei Wenlan and Bai Xingwen received the same rewards:

Dagger ×1: Basic item, can be used permanently

Basic Shield Card ×1,

Basic Speed Card ×1,

Basic Attack Card ×1,

(All cards have one-third the power of Tan Sui, each card can only be used once)

Coins +300

Huo Jingchen, Wei Yao, and Qin Lin all received the same reward: 100 coins

”100 coins,” Wei Yao looked at the rewards in great disappointment. This was doubled, yet earlier he was hopeful, ”So stingy, when I checked the shop, 100 coins only buys one Basic Card.”

Hearing this, Ah Chen also checked the shop, which clearly stated that only Tan Sui-related items could be purchased. One Basic Card had only one-tenth of Tan Sui’s power.

It seems the loot is better than the purchases, perhaps due to Tan Sui?

She didn’t need these, but she appreciated the young girl’s intentions, perfect for Wei Wenlan to use.

”Being able to buy anything is already good.” Huo Jingchen said, his gaze passing over Ah Chen and the others. His intuition told him their rewards should be more, but it wasn’t polite to ask.

”Tan Sui, you take care and upgrade well, I have to go too.” Bai Chao said.

Tan Sui nodded, ”Okay.”

”By the way, I have a letter here, from someone outside, it was burned for you. Now that you’re awake, you should be able to read it.”

Tan Sui was puzzled, who could it be? She took the letter but didn’t open it immediately, watching Bai Chao leave.

”Bro, we can’t keep pretending to be bamboo and cacti, can we? What if we get found out?”

”How about we disguise ourselves as dogs? Let them take us with them. They say dogs are humans’ most loyal companions.”

Bai Chao sternly refused: ”If you want to be a dog, don’t rope me in.”
