Getting the answer she wanted, Xiao Xia felt relieved.
She turned around and poured a glass of water, adding medicinal powder in front of Shen Hongmei, and handed it to her, "Drink this water and you will lose consciousness briefly. When you wake up, you will be a normal person again."
Shen Hongmei was a little hesitant, "Can I not drink it?"
She was afraid that if she really drank it, Xiao Xia might want to do something to her while she was defenseless.
When facing unfamiliar people, one instinctively feels wary. She hadn't met Xiao Xia more than a few times.
In fact, if it weren't for the thing in her hand that could really cut off the system's control over her, she wouldn't even believe that the pregnant woman in front of her, who looked like a little girl, would have such extraordinary abilities.
Xiao Xia shook her head, "You should understand that what's in you is not something good, so the treatment will also be a bit special."
Shen Hongmei thought about it and still took the glass from her and drank it down decisively.
It took about a minute for the effects to kick in.
Having just helped Shen Hongmei sit in a chair, she completely lost consciousness.
Xiao Xia hurriedly followed the pre-arranged plan, put Shen Hongmei into the space, then stored her in the trader. A living person disappeared before her eyes.
She was also very nervous, but could only wait patiently.
Apart from having the miraculous trader, she didn't have any special abilities either, so the one who could help was not her, but the trader.
To help Shen Hongmei, she had emptied all her star coins to open up a special channel, and it was one-time only.
Xiao Xia's eyes kept glancing at her watch. It took more than half an hour before the trader issued a warning that the operation was complete.
Xiao Xia quickly took Shen Hongmei out. Without any hesitation, she immediately exited the space.
The effects of the sedative hadn't worn off yet, so she was still unconscious, but the person was no different from when she entered the space, and there were no injuries, just slightly flushed cheeks.
Xiao Xia didn't have time to check the trader's status. She hurriedly opened the door and struggled to support Shen Hongmei next door.
If someone found Shen Hongmei unconscious in her home, she couldn't explain it clearly even with ten mouths. And since Shen Hongmei could bind such an evil thing, she couldn't take no responsibility either. Xiao Xia was really afraid she would be wrongly accused.
Supporting Shen Hongmei to the edge of the kitchen, she happened to see Yang Dawei grinning stupidly playing in the mud in the yard. Xiao Xia hurriedly called him, "Dawei, your auntie is a little uncomfortable, hurry up and help support her."
"Auntie..." Yang Dawei stupidly ran over, both hands still covered in mud. Xiao Xia didn't have time to stop him before seeing him grab Shen Hongmei.
The 13-year-old Yang Dawei was already taller than Xiao Xia. If not for his mental handicap, in another two or three years he could have become the pillar of the family. It was really a pity now.
Xiao Xia frowned, but couldn't nitpick on this little detail. She hurriedly worked with him to help Shen Hongmei into the room.
Supporting Shen Hongmei to sit in a chair, Xiao Xia was already panting heavily, "Dawei, where are your siblings? Why didn't you go to the canteen for dinner?"
With Yang Jun away these days, it was Yang Cui Er cooking at their home. But today was Zhao Xin and Pei Meng's wedding, so Xiao Xia had specifically told Yang Cui Er to take Yang Dawei to eat at the canteen today.
Yang Dawei looked at the unconscious Shen Hongmei, seeming to be wondering what had happened to her.
Xiao Xia spoke to him but he didn't make a sound, just gurgling noises in his throat, coughing from time to time.
The effects of the sedative would last about an hour or so, at most another half hour before Shen Hongmei would wake up.
Xiao Xia walked out of the Yang's house, and happened to see people coming back from dinner outside.
She hurried back home, knowing that Pei Jing would probably be back soon too. She didn't rush to lock the door this time, but used her consciousness to check inside the space.
The interface on the trader had changed. Since Shen Hongmei's system was not orthodox, it had been automatically recycled by the trader.
As a reward, Xiao Xia could have one chance to connect to a higher plane and two lower planes.
This was an unexpected pleasant surprise. It also made Xiao Xia guess that Shen Hongmei's system was probably also beneficial to the creator of the trader, otherwise it wouldn't have given such a big reward.
The higher plane reward was the human interstellar plane, the wandering Egg, the ancient beastman plane's Tiger Girl, and the era plane's Green Green.
When Shen Hongmei woke up, she opened her eyes to find herself in her brother-in-law's house. She was sitting on a chair in the living room, leaning on the table with her sleeves covered in mud.
At the door, Yang Dawei was squatting there doing something unknown.
Recalling what had happened before she fainted, she quickly tried to contact the system in her body, but this time, there was nothing in her palm. She still couldn't sense the system's existence, as if everything before was just her illusion.
Shen Hongmei suddenly laughed, laughing more and more until she couldn't help crying. She lay on the table crying loudly, as if venting.
It was over, finally all over.
She no longer had to be controlled like a puppet, and no longer had to think of ways to deal with the system while avoiding all those who were kind to her.
Her future life finally belonged completely to herself.
Pei Jing drank some wine and didn't get back until the afternoon.
Xiao Xia had already prepared hangover soup for him to drink before going to bed.
He slept until dark after that.
After eating dinner and washing away the remaining alcohol with hot water, he went back to the room to lie down.
A man and a woman's body temperatures were different. Xiao Xia had just gotten into bed when she felt like there was a stove next to her, unconsciously wanting to get closer.
It had been a month since Pei Meng came that they hadn't slept together.
They say that drunkenness confuses the mind, let alone Pei Jing wasn't even drunk at all, just a little tipsy. His heart did have different thoughts.
His soft and sweet wife snuggled up to him, their one and only experience still being that night months ago. The charming fragrance teased his nose, and Pei Jing finally made a move.
His warm big hand covered her slightly bulging belly.
Xiao Xia had gained some weight recently, but was still not fat, her waist just the width of his palm.
Testing the waters, he kissed her forehead, and seeing she didn't resist, Pei Jing flipped over to cover her, but was careful not to put his weight on her, having to brace it all on himself.
"Xiao Xia, is it okay?"
Xiao Xia's face was red, surrounded by his scent everywhere, and the light touch on her body made her not dare to move randomly.
She bit her lip lightly, hearing his question, shyly nodded.
