Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 859: Chapter 859: Phoenix Dominates the Realm (1)

”Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!”

”Quick, save the Grand Imperial Princess!”

”Someone come!! Someone come!!”

Chuzheng’s ears were filled with all sorts of sounds, and then she was lifted up by people.

Damn it!

It’s not a dream!

It’s freaking starting again.

Bastard, this goddamn thing.

The sounds around her were chaotic, filled with footsteps and the crying of girls.

”How is it?” someone asked.

”This old servant... did his best.”

”Ah...”

The crying grew louder.

The voices around Chuzheng gradually receded, and her consciousness slowly sank.

She didn’t know how much time had passed.

Chuzheng finally woke up a bit, slowly opened her eyes, and what met her gaze was fluttering white silk.

Cold winds were howling around her, chilling her to the bone.

What kind of hellish place is this?

Chuzheng’s body was somewhat stiff, like it had just been taken out of a fridge, and it took her a while to be able to sit up, her gaze sweeping around.

It’s... a memorial hall?!

Chuzheng looked at where she was lying down.

That’s right.

This memorial hall was hers.

I’ve come back to life!!

-

The original host’s name was Ning Chuzheng.

This is a Matriarchal World, thoroughly a matriarchal world.

And the original host was a typical royal second generation.

Her father was of noble descent, and her mother, the Empress, adored her as soon as she was born.

She was given whatever she wanted, and was the most adored Princess in the Imperial City.

One could say she was the center of all affections.

Her other siblings could not compare to her.

Being so spoiled, the original host also developed an arrogant and willful nature, never engaging in serious matters, only knowing how to indulge in food, drink, and entertainment.

Everyone envied her.

The original host thought she was very fortunate.

Her father cherished, her mother adored, and a thousand people respected her.

What could be more blissful than this?

The original host’s third sister, Ning Yao, was especially close to her.

When she got into trouble, Ning Yao would find a way to cover for her, to prevent the Empress from finding out.

It was always like that.

So the original host especially liked this third sister.

But the original host did not realize that her reckless actions were making the court officials increasingly dissatisfied.

By the time the original host noticed this and wanted to reflect,

Ning Yao was by her side, instilling in her: You are the Grand Imperial Princess, the whole world will be yours one day, no one dares to oppose your thinking.

Ning Yao kept telling her this.

Until one day, because of her arrogance, her father’s entire family was implicated, and the whole clan was executed.

The Empress, who had adored and loved her, no longer listened to her explanations with a happy face.

Although she was spared from the death penalty for being a princess, she was nonetheless banished to the Cold Palace.

At this time, Ning Yao, adorned in splendid attire, came forth elegantly.

It was from Ning Yao’s mouth that the original host learned that she was never truly the child her mother, the Empress, liked.

The Empress doted on her, merely out of fear of her father’s powerful family.

She was being feted to her own demise.

But by the time the original host realized, everything was over.

Ning Yao forcefully made her drink a cup of poisoned wine, and that’s how she died in the Cold Palace.

-

Chuzheng sat in the memorial hall, looking at her own Soul Tablet.

So what’s the situation now?

The timeline hasn’t reached the point where her father’s entire family was executed, but it was close.

The original host was assassinated at a palace banquet, which led to the investigation of the assassin’s background, further implicating the connection of the assassin with her father’s family, and finally unveiling evidence of her father’s family’s intention to rebel.

What followed was the execution of the entire clan.

But...

When the original host was assassinated at that time, she was only injured, not life-threatening, and there was no such thing as having a memorial hall for her.

How did she die?

The memorial hall is even set up!

Which bastard did this?!

”Bastard?”

Chuzheng called out.

The usually active King’s Account was completely silent at this moment.

Chuzheng called out two more times, still with no response.

Bastard got into trouble?

Then how did I come over?

A bit bewildered.

Chuzheng sat on her own spirit bed, facing her Soul Tablet.

[Little sister... hello there.]

A strange voice rang out in Chuzheng’s mind.

That voice was also youthful, with hints of caution and care, not the familiar one she knew.

Chuzheng: ”!!!”

Chuzheng was so startled she knocked over her own Soul Tablet, which she hurriedly held on to.

Chuzheng, holding her Soul Tablet, asked calmly, ”Bastard, did you change your voice?”

[No... not I.] The voice stumbled a bit: [I am... I’m the Glory Number.]

Glory Number?

King’s Glory?

Chuzheng with an indifferent face, ”You change your voice and give yourself a new name too?”

What kind of trick is this?

[No, I really am Glory Number.] Glory Number hurriedly explained, looking quite aggrieved: [King’s Account ran into a bit of trouble, I will replace him for a while, so please, little sister, kindly instruct me.]

”You’re not lying to me?” Chuzheng asked menacingly.

[No, I don’t lie.] Why is this little sister a bit fierce? It’s totally different from what King described, sob sob sob.

Glory Number felt like it had been deceived.

Chuzheng pondered.

One can even switch Systems?

So, this is an organized thing?

Chuzheng’s eyes shifted slightly: ”How many of you Systems are there?”

[Um, there are...] Glory Number recalled King’s Account’s admonition: [Little sister, I can’t tell you that.]

”Your name is Glory?”

[Hmm-hmm.]

”You’re really not Bastard?”

[...I’m not.] Why is the little sister cursing at me?

Chuzheng said ominously, ”If you dare to lie to me, you’re dead meat.”

[...]

Sob... King’s Account clearly said the little sister was easy to get along with.

”Where did Bastard go?”

[He ran... ran into some issues.]

”What issues.”

[I can’t say.] Glory Number obediently answered: [Little sister, don’t worry, I will assist you well. I have strong professional capabilities.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng touched her Soul Tablet, deep in thought.

Didn’t expect it was possible to switch Systems.

Seems like this organization is quite powerful.

Then, this Glory, she should also have a host like me...

Chuzheng probing for information: ”How’s your host doing?”

[My host...] Glory Number fell silent: [Sob, little sister, don’t try to trick me.]

It seems there are other players.

If it really is the Fanxing game, and the game can no longer be logged into, how did they manage it?

Could it be that they hijacked the Fanxing game?

Hu Shuo said that the safety system was activated by him...

There is a high possibility of this!!

What’s the purpose then?

Chuzheng didn’t pay attention to Glory Number’s sense of grievance: ”You come over to replace Bastard, what about your host?”

[The author has stopped updating, I temporarily have nothing to do.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

–

Having switched Systems suddenly, Chuzheng was still a bit unaccustomed to it.

But this System, it seemed much easier to handle than King’s Account.

”Creak...”

The palace door was pushed open by a Palace Maid.

As the maid lifted her head, she saw Chuzheng sitting on the spirit bed, holding her own Soul Tablet.

Her face was deathly pale, clad in white garments, with white silk fluttering around her and a chilling breeze wafting through.

The scene couldn’t be more eerie.

A few seconds later, the entering maid screamed.

”Ahh...”

Chuzheng jumped down from the spirit bed, quickly covered the Palace Maid’s mouth, and swiftly shut the door.

”Mmm...”

The Palace Maid’s eyes widened, tears and panic merging, her face screaming for help.

”I’m not dead, don’t scream,” Chuzheng warned her.

The Palace Maid was so frightened that she was struggling to breathe, but her will to live made her nod rapidly.

Chuzheng let her go.

”Ah...”

Chuzheng covered her mouth again, and the subsequent sound turned into a muffled ’mmph’.
