Chapter 1541: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (3)

The original owner never knew that Zhai Chenming possessed an incredibly powerful protagonist’s halo in this world. Even an ordinary person like him would eventually obtain everything he desired through various opportunities.

Even the original owner herself had merely been one of his halos.

Now that this halo had become an obstacle to him, naturally it had to be removed.

A divine artifact dagger capable of threatening the City Lord’s survival should never have appeared in the Trading City’s prize box. But nothing was absolute. Accidents always happened.

Zhai Chenming was the source of that accident. It could even be said that the divine artifact dagger existed solely for him.

With his scheming nature, after drawing the divine artifact from the prize box, he had naturally hidden it immediately.

Only when the original owner’s soul dispersed did she finally learn how her identity had been exposed.

The reason lay with that divine artifact dagger. Attached to it was a powerful soul that seemed to know the secret of the Rubik’s Cube World.

According to the original owner’s guess, that being had been waiting all along for someone capable of breaking the Rubik’s Cube World to appear.

When the original owner brought Zhai Chenming before the prize box, the mysterious soul understood that its opportunity had finally arrived.

The reason Zhai Chenming had managed to draw the divine artifact dagger was actually because that soul had interfered.

There was no need to speculate further. Under the soul’s temptation, Zhai Chenming had undoubtedly believed everything it said.

He also wanted to leave and had no intention of remaining in this world forever. Thus, he chose to plunge that dagger into the original owner’s heart, causing Trading City to collapse.

Within the Rubik’s Cube World, every city was closely interconnected. The destruction of a single city would bring about the collapse of the entire Rubik’s Cube World.

“Curiosity really does kill the cat.”

After receiving the memories, Tang Guo could not help sighing. “So what if she was the City Lord of Trading City? Without her, those few people might not even have survived to the end. In the end, it was nothing more than their interests being threatened. Someone conveniently handed him an excuse, and he used it to stab the original owner to death.”

【Host, you’ve only just met them at this point. Shouldn’t we just leave and let them die? That ungrateful bastard Zhai Chenming should just die here.】

“He’s the male lead. He won’t die. Without me, he’ll encounter other halos, and they’ll be even harder to control. Besides, I still need him to lure out that divine artifact dagger. It’s been hiding in the prize box for so long, right inside my Trading City, and yet no one has discovered it. It definitely isn’t something simple.”

【So…】the system asked weakly, 【Host, are you saying you’ll continue traveling with them all the way to the end?】

“Mhm. But this time, I won’t remind them where the dangers are.”

System: Oh, understood. So she plans to torment Zhai Chenming all the way, huh?

“This time, I’m going to be a delicate little woman. Pretty, with a bit of combat ability, but incapable of anything else.”

System: Uh… who was she kidding?

He looked Tang Guo up and down. Dressed in a moon-white qipao, she sat elegantly on a stool. Tea rested before her, and beside her lay a carved wooden folding fan.

She really was beautiful, and she genuinely looked delicate. That face didn’t appear particularly shrewd. People would only think she was stunning.

Looking around Happiness City again, all kinds of people dressed in every style imaginable could be seen. There were even people with all sorts of skin colors and hair colors.

The people within the Rubik’s Cube World came from countless different worlds. Some had entered willingly, while others had arrived by accident.
