Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 489 - 23: Tycoon System (23)

Li Shuning watched the farce not far away, a smile on her lips. This time, what would Mu Yun do?

No one else noticed, but Li Shuning had already seen the earth-shattering changes in Mu Yun.

Her spiritual power enveloped Mu Yun completely.

None of the changes in her body escaped her spiritual power’s detection.

However, Mu Yun was also clever, always hiding beside Zhong Min. But can one hide forever?

Zhong Min looked at Zhong Lu and asked angrily, "Xiao Lu, how long will you keep making trouble? What did you do to Xiao Yun? Hasn’t your big brother treated you well? She is your future sister-in-law."

Zhong Lu was dumbfounded at this moment. She was somewhat inexplicably accused, and seeing Zhong Min also scold her, she felt extremely wronged.

In the past, her big brother treated her the best, but now this woman is baselessly accusing her, and her big brother fell for it?

"Big brother, she’s just a vixen. Can’t you see that? I didn’t do anything to her; she’s deceiving you..."

At this moment, Mu Yun was trembling all over. She was a bit scared; suddenly becoming old in public would surely make her seen as a monster, wouldn’t it?

Feeling Mu Yun’s trembling, Zhong Min felt even more pity for her, and became increasingly annoyed with Zhong Lu.

"System, what should I do? Tell me what to do. If something goes wrong now, I will die. And it keeps going wrong; shouldn’t you give me an explanation?"

The system was also inexplicably confused. It really hadn’t encountered such a situation before, and it was quite anxious as well. If the host failed and was mistaken for a monster, it wouldn’t fare well either.

"Host, I will use some authority to temporarily postpone your aging time, but it’s only for half an hour. After half an hour, host, you need to be careful, as it will erupt again by then."

"System, make a scratch on my face."

"Okay."

"Xiao Lu, you are my family. I like Xiao Yun and hope the family can support me. But Xiao Lu, is this your attitude towards your sister-in-law? You disappoint me." Zhong Min’s face showed a disappointed expression.

Zhong Lu was urgently flustered.

At this moment, Mu Yun suddenly emerged from Zhong Min’s embrace.

Everyone gasped.

They saw a conspicuous scratch on Mu Yun’s face, and it was bleeding.

It was especially noticeable on her fair, delicate skin.

Even Zhong Min was taken aback for a moment, then wrapped Mu Yun in his arms with some distress: "Xiao Yun, I’m sorry, it’s my fault..."

But Mu Yun covered Zhong Min’s mouth: "Brother Min, don’t apologize, it’s okay. I think maybe little sister Lu made some misunderstandings. Talk to her properly. I’ll go back and change clothes and take care of the wound on my face. Don’t worry, it’s nothing."

Zhong Min originally wanted to make her stay, but considering the messy situation, he thought it best to deal with it first.

"I’ll take you back and to the hospital."

"No need, there are still so many guests. I’ll head back first. Don’t scold little sister Lu, she’s still young and worships you. She might have misunderstood."

Afterward, Mu Yun left with some people.

Returning home, with a few minutes to spare, the bodyguard offered to help with her wound, but she ignored it and went straight into the bedroom.

After locking the bedroom door, Mu Yun watched the time on her phone. As soon as the half-hour mark hit, she ran to the mirror and indeed saw herself become old again.

At the same time, she didn’t notice a photo of her aged self with a wounded face had been taken by her phone.

After spreading, that photo got thoroughly deleted.

Mu Yun utterly unaware of the picture being captured.

She looked at her reflection with eyes filled with disgust.

How will she get through this month?

Afterward, Mu Yun kept recuperating at home, becoming somewhat eccentric, unwilling to go out or be seen by others.

Every time the servant delivered meals, she stayed under the blankets, refusing to be seen.

Once when Zhong Min visited her, she remained in bed, revealing only a face with scars.

Zhong Min felt incredibly guilty, but Mu Yun kept reassuring him, saying she’d heal with time and everything would be alright.

Mu Yun didn’t know her injury shocked the Zhong family, all of them wondering if the child they raised could hurt someone without reason.

The incident didn’t immediately reach the old master, but he found out the next day and, unusually, lost his temper.

Afterward, he instructed Zhong Min to comfort Mu Yun more. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Zhong Lu was then sent to a rather distant school.

After a month of recovery, Mu Yun’s face still bore some scars.

Zhong Min had been searching for scar removal treatments all along, and by then, he had found some solutions and gave them to Mu Yun.

Seeing Mu Yun’s scars fade more and more, he felt somewhat relieved.

In fact, Mu Yun could have completely removed the scars without any trace, but she intentionally let it heal slowly, believing it’d leave something behind, making her man feel guiltier, wouldn’t it?

Henceforth, Mu Yun didn’t dare to take on any High Rank tasks.

However, she found everything was in chaos; even Low Rank tasks ended in failure.

Weight gain, white hair—various punishments emerged.

Once, Mu Yun’s hair turned entirely white in public spontaneously.

This incident caused quite a stir.

However, the company came out claiming that Mu Yun’s script-writing had taken such a toll on her mental capacity that it caused this.

Mu Yun tried dyeing her hair, but it didn’t work; what was white remained white.

While the explanation was rather flimsy, Mu Yun’s script-writing prowess was apparent to all, so people accepted it, though not always would fortune favor her like that.

As Mu Yun’s company earned more money, the system’s tasks updated, and the task penalties kept evolving.

Once or twice, she could avoid detection, but many times she was found out.

Unless Mu Yun didn’t go out.

Gradually, the winds of opinion shifted.

Even Zhong Min felt a bit odd at heart.

Because he had seen Mu Yun abruptly gain weight before.

Truthfully, Zhong Min wasn’t one to judge by appearances, but he felt a twinge in his heart.

At this moment, Li Shuning leaked some photos.

The photos taken during Mu Yun’s supposed seclusion and her return after the Zhong family banquet.

Initially, nobody paid them much heed, but comparing with Mu Yun’s photos, they startlingly realized it was indeed Mu Yun.

Zhong Min naturally noticed, having witnessed the scars himself.

The Zhong family was abuzz with rumors.

Zhong Lu was also brought back.

She was aware of the situation.

Zhong Lu calmly recounted the event at the time.

"Big brother, I was indeed very emotional back then, but I only grabbed Mu Yun. I didn’t touch her; she inexplicably cried out for help, and at that time, I was utterly perplexed."
