After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies Chapter 114: The Controlled Puppet

Of course, whether she was telling the truth was sothing only Zhi Xia herself knew clearly.

Shen Hongi sat for a while, as if she had really just co over to give Zhi Xia so jujubes. Her words were very polite, and apart from the sense of aloofness in her eyes and facial expressions that completely belied her words, there was nothing that made people feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

She got up to take her leave, and even said Zhi Xia could go to the Cultural Work Troupe to find her and play anyti.

Zhi Xia had originally wanted her to take the jujubes back, but she stubbornly refused, so Zhi Xia could only ask her to wait a mont. She emptied out the jujubes in the cloth bag, and put so roasted peanuts in instead.

"Comrade Shen, thank you for the jujubes. These are peanuts I brought from ho when I ca here. Please try them, they're freshly roasted." After seeing Shen Hongi to the door, Zhi Xia said.

"Didn't we agree to beco good friends from now on? Don't keep calling Comrade Shen, it feels too distant. Just call Hongi, don't I call you Zhi Xia too?" Shen Hongi reached out to take the cloth bag.

When their fingers inadvertently touched, the dinsional exchange device in the room suddenly lit up and issued a warning. [Detected presence of high tech product, unable to determine good or bad. Please be vigilant, host!!!]

Zhi Xia's expression changed, and the cloth bag in her hand fell to the ground as well.

Shen Hongi was startled for a mont, but calmly smiled and bent down to pick it up. "Look at , my hands are so cold they're numb. I can even drop sothing when picking it up. Don't mind it, Zhi Xia."

"You shouldn't mind, it was my fault for not holding it steady."

Zhi Xia tried her best to keep her voice steady. She watched Shen Hongi turn and leave before her face sank.

After closing the door, she went into her dinsional space without even returning to her room.

The warning on the dinsional exchange device was still flashing. After studying it for a while, Zhi Xia finally understood its purpose.

Shen Hongi also had sothing on her that didn't belong in this world, but she didn't know what it was yet. It could be a dinsional space, or a system. Of course, she couldn't determine if it was good or bad either.

The dinsional exchange device belonged to the side of justice. This could be seen from its trading rules - it only allowed normal, harmless trading and did not permit damage to dinsions. So it also played a supplentary role in stabilizing dinsions.

The device wanted to obtain the object on Shen Hongi, but there were great difficulties in doing so.

Just like Zhi Xia, the dinsional space and exchange device were like a golden finger to her. Why would she be willing to give up her things to others? And the device could not make illegal actions like plundering others' possessions. Shen Hongi would have to willingly hand it over, but how was that possible?

Unless the object itself was harmful to Shen Hongi. In that case, she might not rule out wanting to get rid of it herself.

Zhi Xia was anxious, but she didn't know Shen Hongi was no better off than her.

Carrying the roasted peanuts Zhi Xia had given back to her room, Shen Hongi's sharp eyes noticed the cloth bag was still full. Only then was she satisfied. "That woman still knows better. Stingy with everything, giving neither cake nor at, and she didn't even think to give us so jujubes. How could we accept them?"

Shen Hongi took the cloth bag from Shen Hongxing's hands and looked inside to find the jujubes had beco peanuts.

Shen Hongi quickly explained, "Sis, don't talk nonsense, okay? She wasn't stingy at all. I gave her jujubes, and she gave us peanuts in return. She didn't take advantage of us at all."

Yang Jun was also increasingly annoyed the more he heard Shen Hongxing speak, especially since she had led their children astray too. He felt utterly helpless.

They had argued, cursed, and even hit each other, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

The thought of divorcing her grew heavier in his heart, but considering his career and the several children at ho, divorce didn't necessarily seem like it would lead to positive change either.

He rembered when they first t, Shen Hongxing had been a good girl too - capable with housework, gentle and beautiful, and she didn't look down on his family's poverty. That was why he married her, vowing to treat her well for life.

But over the past few years, just as their lives grew better day by day, she had changed.

In fact, he couldn't even recall when she had started to change. It was as if slowly, slowly, she had beco a different person from who she was.

Seeing her sullen, silent brother-in-law standing in the doorway and her sister's nonstop chattering, Shen Hongi felt increasingly guilty.

"Sis, brother-in-law, it's getting late. I should go back first." Shen Hongi's knitted brows revealed none of the casual deanor she had shown Zhi Xia earlier.

"Alright, go back quickly then. Co over to eat tomorrow, sis will make you sothing tasty." Facing Shen Hongi, Shen Hongxing was able to reveal a glimpse of her forr self that Yang Jun rembered.

Back then, she had looked at him this tenderly too, saying she didn't mind his family was poor and had a paralyzed old mother, and wanted to spend her whole life well with him.

Shen Hongi thought for a mont and made an excuse that she was busy tomorrow, so wouldn't be coming.

Returning to the dorm and thinking of her sister and brother-in-law's situation, as well as the several children at ho, Shen Hongi felt increasingly uneasy.

"System, spare my sister and brother-in-law, if you still want to gain favorability for you."

Ever since she was 10 years old, she had inexplicably gained sothing in her mind called a System. It told her that as long as she bound with it, she wouldn't go hungry anymore, she could go to school, gain talents and abilities, and have her parents' and family's love - as well as beauty and wealth.

No matter which of these, they were huge temptations to Shen Hongi, who had grown up in the countryside going hungry and cold, with parents who favored sons over daughters.

And the only condition was that she needed to gain favorability from others.

A 10 year old Shen Hongi was still a child who could be tricked away with two candies, let alone when facing such huge temptations.

After binding with the System, Shen Hongi did gain many things. She could gain favorability by pleasing others, then use that favorability to get resources from the System - including her so-called talents, beauty...

But very quickly, Shen Hongi realized that the more favorability soone provided her, the more unlucky they would beco.

First it was her younger brother. Because he often secretly gave her candy, the child contributed a lot of favorability and grew increasingly dependent on her.

But what followed was him becoming increasingly irritable and disobedient, with terrible luck. After a huge fight with the family, he ran away stubbornly and lost his life by falling into a pond.

Her playmates, parents, villagers - everyone who had contributed favorability to her and gained benefits from her would slowly change, sotis in luck, sotis in body - invisible and intangible...

Shen Hongi didn't understand it at first, but as everyone around her changed and she grew older and understood more, she started having doubts and conflicts with the System grew greater and greater.

She wanted to dissolve the binding, but it was no longer under her control.

She shut herself in her room to avoid people, but the System's punishnts were also very harsh. She couldn't even bear the pain from the electric shocks. She had even thought of ending her own life, but she couldn't even control whether she lived or died anymore.

Later she understood her own position - at best, she was just a puppet controlled by the System.
