Love from the Male Protagonist's Harem

LFTMPH Chapter 32-Surprise Gift Box Part 1

Translated by Snowfall77

System: [Guilongyu Is A Special Item, And Currently You Would Not Be Able To Use Anything From The Points Mall To Restore Even An Ordinary Item.]

Xia Ge: “So restoring a special item is out of the question?  The Points Mall has nothing?”

The system’s tone turned peculiar: [Host, A Special……You……] Can’t afford it.

Grasping the system’s meaning quickly, Xia Ge replied: “Alright, alright, I understand, I won’t ask about it anymore.”

Apparently, individuals with prejudice against the poor were thick on the ground.

Down the mountain and walking past Ye Ze’s hut, Xia Ge saw that his lights were out.

The system had a sudden misgiving: [If You Both Were Coming Back Here, Why Didn’t You Walk Down With Him?]

Xia Ge shrugged her shoulders: “He’s too proud.”

She hadn’t wanted to say anything that’d make Ye Ze feel awkward.

Better to let him go on ahead alone, and cool his head in the process.

Xia Ge went into her hut, closing the door behind her unconcernedly.  Then, from a small box under her bed, she took out Guilongyu.

Despite missing its right corner and being warm to the touch, the jade dragon was still ferocious-looking.

—-Pass the entrance examination, go through Danfeng’s inner gate……

“Ai, nosy people truly don’t know what they’re talking about, but always try to interfere anyways.”  Xia Ge tossed Guilongyu to one side and opened the Points Mall, looking for a basic ‘gift box.’  Eventually, she found one that cost 300 points.  [Surprise Gift Box—No Matter What Item Is Put Inside, Upon Opening It, People Will Feel Pleasantly Surprised!]

Xia Ge stared at this particular box for a long time.

The system thought Xia Ge might be developing an online-shopping addiction……

Then Xia Ge’s hesitant voice sounded: “Little puppet, this gift box……could you……put a pile of X in it, and still……?”

A bright green light flashed and the Points Mall vanished before Xia Ge’s eyes.  Having efficiently disposed of one problem, the system continued on with a cold voice: [Host, It Is Already Night, Time For Bed.  And If It Is Not Too Inconvenient, Could You Uninstall Me?  Please.]

Xia Ge: “Why do you have to be so inhumane, little puppet?”

System: [When You Speak Like A Human, I Will Speak Humanely To You In Turn.]

Xia Ge: “……”

The Points Mall had been forcibly closed by the system, but night-owl Xia Ge’s fingers still felt itchy.  Given the system’s obvious indifference though, the Points Mall wouldn’t be open again any time soon.

So Xia Ge instead opened her skill panel.

The panel was pretty much unchanged, except for some upgrades and extra skills.  However, there was one new green button, next to the name [Liuli Puppet].  Seeing it, Xia Ge poked the sub-panel open.

The [Liuli Puppet] data unspooled.  All the basic info was there, yet it was all in gray.

It was too far away and thus in an uncontrollable state.

Xia Ge exclaimed: “Ai!  There’s a distance range?”

[Most Certainly There Is.]  The system’s tone was still chilly.  [I Originally Thought 30 Miles Would Be A Sufficient Range For You To Use It.]

Who could have guessed you’d send your puppet thousands of miles away, and to the Demon Sect of all places?

The system paused, oddly impressed: [It Was Really……Disrespectful.]

Bitterly grieving Xia Ge: “It was really……a miscalculation.”

System: [That Makes Two Of Us.]

Xia Ge’s heart ached: “My pleasure.”

Their daily routine of roasting each other finished, a deeply depressed Xia Ge closed the [Liuli Puppet] panel.

Then the system helpfully added: [Don’t Worry.  As Long As Another Puppet Master Doesn’t Cover Your Liuli Puppet With A Baifu, You’ll Still Be Able To Sense It When It’s With 30 Miles Of You Someday.]

“Oh.”

Bairen and Bai Luo probably weren’t that stupid, were they?  A 30-mile radius included Lingxi’s base camp, but when would the twin brothers be foolish enough to walk into that trap?

All that effort with her Liuli puppet—looked it’d been for nothing.

Xia Ge glanced Guilongyu on the table, maybe she could……

But her thoughts were too obvious.

The system had to speak: [Host, Even If The Puppet Were Within Distance, You Would Still Have No Way To Control It.]

And {soul-controlling voice} wouldn’t work either.  Even if Xia Ge had a SSS puppet, it’d be about as useful as garbage right now.

Xia Ge: “……”

“Little puppet,” Xia Ge decided it was time to change the subject, “What’d you think of me carving a box out of a Liuli tree?”

System: [……You Do Not Have A Liuli Tree At This Time.]  What escapist reality was its host living in?

Cocking her head, Xia Ge answered: “Finding a Liuli tree, that’s easy.”

""

Three minutes later, on the back mountain—

Her life of thievery resumed, Xia Ge was dressed all in black, her face covered, and she moved with ease.

System: [……]

Late at night…

A green curtain slightly wafted.

——“It’s too much, it’s too difficult—-The grief is killing me——-”

——“Why are you……”

——“I……will wait for you.”

——“Aaaaa——”

An ear-piercing, harrowing scream stabbed the heart, and brought a brief feeling of suffocation.

Although her eyes abruptly opened, Gu Peijiu remained in her bed, face expressionless.

——Again a nightmare.

Indistinct scenes, occasional audible words, and heartrending emotions.

And for many days in a row?

Now Gu Peijiu got up and walked over to her window, wearing only a thin shift.

The peach blossoms that had been in the white porcelain vase had already withered and been discarded.  Now next to the small vase was an arrangement of a few bright red hawthorn and a green hawthorn.  With moonbeams passing through the curtain, the hawthorn was lent an eye-catching charm, a somehow naïve loveliness.

The young lady in the snow-white shift picked up the green hawthorn, her gaze softening.

—–“Senior Sister, if you drink more wine, the drunkenness will stop your nightmares!”

The moonlight seemed to dim.

“……wine?”

The young lady’s long lashes slightly lowered.

No, tonight was destined to be sleepless.

“Salty eat radish lightly worry” is a northern slang term , the pinyin is xián chī luó bo dàn cāo xīn, which literally means that when pickling dried radish, you must add more salt, so that it can be stored for a long time and is not easy to spoil. If you put less, you will often worry about whether it will be damaged or not. It is like a nosy person who often does not understand the truth of the truth, but is there to worry about and do a disservice . Therefore, this common saying is used to describe the nosy people who are not liked [1]  .
