The Villain Loaded My System

In ancient marriages, the bride usually had to stay in the room until the wedding banquet was over and wait for the groom to return.

Although it is reasonable to say that Gu Xiyu did not need to go through these things, only the fortress master knew his true gender, and if the others found out that he was actually a prince and not a princess, their attitude may become harsh. Since he had given up the idea of changing host bodies, he had to keep himself as safe as possible.

Gu Xiyu rested for a moment, then glanced at the wine jug and two wine cups on the table and reached out to lift them—they were heavy and had been prepared in advance.

He hadn’t forgotten that he couldn’t drink, and his body looked so weak in this world that he was afraid that drinking this wine would lead to unwanted consequences.

His eyes wandered around the room, finally settling on the small potted plant by the window.

—–

It was already dusk by the time some chaotic sounds came from the long, quiet corridor outside the room.

Outside the room, there were silhouettes of people. They all must have had a lot to drink, as they kept stumbling around, but they were in good spirits.

The other main character of the wedding came to the door of the room with their support, surrounded by the voices of those who were teasing him. These people were usually very restrained, but they seemed to have been emboldened by the wine today, and they made a few more remarks in front of him.

The people in the fortress have been busy these days, and Weichi Yan did not want to spoil their happy mood, so he did not get angry with them but only calmly said just as they were were preparing to make a scene in the bridal chamber: “Thank you, just escort me up to here; you can leave now.”

The guests and brothers who were drunk instantly sobered up, and they restrained their teasing. Liu Ping, who was also present, pulled the men back and hooked them by the shoulders, saying, “Can’t you see that the Lord doesn’t like us being too noisy and spoiling his good time? Let’s go, it’s still early, we agreed not to stop until we’re drunk tonight!”

“Brother Liu is right, no one should leave the banquet upright!”

“Let’s go, let’s not disturb the fortress master.”

“Hey, a spring night is worth a thousand grains of gold… Ah, why did you hit me?”

“You dare to say that about the Lord and the Lord’s wife, do you want to die?”

The crowd that had gathered outside the room plastered with big red wedding characters gradually dispersed, and soon, the fortress master’s separate courtyard was emptied, with only Weichi Yan in his festive wedding clothes standing outside the door. Even though he had been busy all day, dealing with countless people, his clothes were in no way disheveled, and even his hair, which had been tidied up this morning, was still neat.

He stared at the stone-grey ground for a long time before unlocking the door and walking into his and Gu Xiyu’s new room.

The bedding in the room had all been changed from its original simple, dark hue to a bright red, and the table was lit with red candles with dragon and phoenix illustrations, items not normally seen in the fortress.

Fancy things.

As expected, his ‘bride’ was not sitting peacefully by the bed or waiting for him to lift the veil. The red veil embroidered with colorful Mandarin ducks had already been thrown somewhere. The young man was in a high-necked red silk and gold embroidered wedding dress, his hair in a gentle woman’s bun, and his thin lips covered in a bright red. His face had just the right amount of makeup, and even if he were a man, it didn’t look weird but rather unexpectedly charming.

Of course, it would have been better if his eyes were less cold and a bit more affectionate.

When Gu Xiyu heard him enter, he didn’t even raise his eyes, obviously treating him like air. Weichi Yan came to the table and picked up the wine jug and tried to pour two glasses of wine, but found it empty.

Weichi Yan looked at the young man sitting in the chair, whose haggardness could be vaguely seen even with the make-up on. He(Weichi Yan) lowered his head and leaned over to gently sniff his neck, he didn’t smell any wine, only a light medicinal scent.

Gu Xiyu was startled by this action, and his body leaned back slightly. He even went ahead to get up and take a few steps back,  asking warily, “What are you doing?”

Weichi Yan stared at him for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, “You’ve poured out the wine; are you eager to skip the step of sharing a cup of wine with me and directly go to bed?”

Gu Xiyu: “…?” What kind of top-notch comprehension was this?

He clearly did not want to go through these rituals with him. For some reason, he was very resistant to having intimate contact with someone other than the Great Demon.

Gu Xiyu was so angry that his chest ached, “I don’t want to sleep with you.”

Weichi Yan was used to being sovereign, and Gu Xiyu’s strong resistance aroused his desire to ‘tame’ him. Gu Xiyu was now defenseless before Weichi Yan, and even though he refused, he was still forced to bed. Weichi Yan pinned Gu Xiyu under him, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

Commander Gu, who was used to having the upper hand, was really aggrieved.

Weichi Yan’s eyes gradually became cloudy and dark, and his calloused hands slowly gripped his neck. The man beneath him met his gaze with no fear, with resistance mixed with resentment, as if he would not hesitate to seriously injure him if only he could get the slightest chance to fight back.

He was clearly so vulnerable, yet his will was so tenacious that it couldn’t be shaken.

He wondered what kind of person could make this beast in sheep’s clothing put away the sharp claws and spikes.

Weichi Yan slowly tightened his grip on Gu Xiyu’s neck and watched as he raised his hand to try and pry his wrist away, the anger in his eyes gradually rising. The ‘beauty’ in the red wedding dress was like a delicate flower blooming in the cold wind, struggling tenaciously to survive under such harsh circumstances, but in fact, it could easily be broken with just a little more force.

Weichi Yan thought that he might really be sick.

Gu Xiyu’s current appearance was so pitiful and pitiable, but seeing the weak man, whose life was in his hands, being ruthlessly bullied, actually gave him a strange pleasure.

He felt like bullying him a little more.

[[Target’s risk value -10; the risk value is now 55.]]

With the suffocating sensation of his brain gradually running out of oxygen, Gu Xiyu heard the notification from the system, and his thoughts broke off briefly.

He hadn’t even reached the palace yet, but the target’s risk value had already started to move. It was going up and down again, and he wondered what exactly the Great Demon was doing.

He was a little disoriented.

Could it be that, in this world, there were people around the target who could influence him or move his heart?

Gu Xiyu suddenly stopped resisting.

The main reason was that he was a little tired and was completely no match for the martial arts of the fortress master. The other point was that he couldn’t help but think about the Great Demon and wonder why he felt a sense of emptiness.

He closed his eyes and reminded himself that he was only a mission executor. When all was said and done, he and the target would eventually become passersby.

The Great Demon would be sent to a new Time Fortress prison, while he would return to his post and continue his work, and what followed would no longer be of any concern to him.

The sudden increase in force at his neck caused him to frown and let out a groan of pain. He opened his eyes to see the fortress master’s gaze falling on him with more than a little fierceness.

He heard him say, “It seems that I’m not being harsh enough, seeing as you have the presence of mind to think of other things while you are in my bed.”

Gu Xiyu pursed his lips, his face cold, not wanting to reply.

He didn’t have the strength to make a sound, and his body seemed to be getting more and more uncomfortable, with every joint in his body screaming out in pain. Probably due to a lack of oxygen, his head was also getting heavier and heavier, as if he would pass out at any moment.

The original owner was in poor health, and he had to drink medicine specially boiled by the palace staff every day to keep his body healthy. In the past few days, he was unable to take the medicine because he was traveling, so he could only take some special tablets brought from the palace every day to ease his discomfort. In their haste to escape that day, the pills were left in the wedding carriage and not brought down with them. The people in the fortress didn’t pay much attention to his condition, let alone give him medicine, so he could feel his body starting to suffer after a few days without medicine.

“I like obedient people.” As his head was spinning in a cold sweat, the words that floated from above him brought his thoughts back.

Gu Xiyu’s heart skipped a beat as his eyes stared blankly at the man in red, trying to find something through the expression on his face or in his eyes.

The soul fragment from the previous world liked saying such things to him.

Then he heard the man go on to say, “If you behave yourself and don’t show that look in your eyes, I might hurt you less.”

Gu Xiyu surveyed Weichi Yan for a moment, failing to detect anything from him for the time being, and could only lower his eyes to hide the flash of loss under his eyes, saying in a cold voice, “No one can restrain me, and I won’t listen to anyone.”

As he said this, his mouth suddenly lifted in a very shallow but unemotional curve.

“The fortress master has just met me and is not yet aware that I am a rebellious person.” The moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly raised his foot, trying to kick the man in the area that was most vulnerable and painful.

In his mind, it would be better to use all the strength of this body to kick the man to extinction.

But as beautiful as his imagination was, reality poured cold water on him.

There were certain reasons why this man was the fortress master, such as his very quick and strong reflexes. The other man had clearly been distracted by his words for a moment, and his defenses had slackened a little. However, the moment he moved, the other party reacted and avoided the danger.

Gu Xiyu thought that the fortress master would be angry, after all, he did not look like someone who would tolerate defiance. As a result, the other party pressed him back down as he tried to escape his clutches, then he lowered his head and laughed softly, looking like a madman.

“That’s good.” Weichi Yan spoke in a low voice.

He slowly let go of Gu Xiyu’s neck, and the murderous intent that had just bubbled up for a moment was suppressed.

“I’m tired of seeing too many obedient people, it’s nice to have a rebellious…… one once in a while.” Originally, he didn’t intend to kill Gu Xiyu that quickly because of that shiny panel thing, but now he wanted to tease him a little and see if he could frustrate him a little.

Gu Xiyu also didn’t expect that he had failed to anger Weichi Yan, he thought it would be best to kill the little interest he had tonight, but instead, this man had a similar perverted mind as the Great Demon and now seemed even more excited. His fingers slowly wandered around his waist and belly, slowly undoing the sash from his dress like he was opening a present.

He didn’t really believe this fortress master had any interest in him as a man.

But now, the man who had straddled him in order to restrict his movements, removed the sash and hooked his fingers around his collar, gently tugging down and exposing a bit of his collarbone. Then the man put his hand in and touched his body a few times.

Gu Xiyu sensed the change somewhere in the other party’s body, and his face turned from white to green and then black. Seeing the man’s playful smile, he wished he had a knife in his hand that could kill him.

Yu Chiyan wasn’t in a hurry with his actions; he just looked down at him and said, “I know what you’re thinking.”

“To me, there is no difference between a man and a woman.”

He narrowed his eyes and laughed softly, “To do or not to do depends only on whether I want to.” It was as if that series of movements just now was proving this statement to Gu Xiyu.

Gu Xiyu pushed through his physical discomfort and said to him in a deep voice, “Unless you are into necrophilia and don’t mind the object of your spring night turning into a corpse, you can feel free to do it.”

At some point, the blood on Gu Xiyu’s face had faded so much that the paleness of his lips couldn’t even be hidden by the layer of red that had been smeared on.

As soon as Gu Xiyu finished saying this, before Weichi Yan even had the chance to respond, he saw the man beneath him frown and cough violently, bright red liquid suddenly spilling out from the corner of his mouth and sliding across his neck to seep into the similarly colored clothes on his body and on the bed.

——

Weichi Yan knew that Gu Xiyu’s body was very weak at first glance, but he didn’t know that he was so delicate that a few random pinches and a few words could provoke him into vomiting blood.

The wedding night was naturally ruined, and Weichi Yan sullenly dragged the still somewhat sober physician into the room and stared at him as he attended to Gu Xiyu. The middle-aged physician felt like a needle was piecing his back during the whole process; his drunkenness was directly scared off by the fortress master’s aura, and he seriously took the pulse of Gu Xiyu, who had passed out, and frowned.

He invited Weichi Yan out of the room before shaking his head and saying to him, “Madam’s health is too poor, she must have taken a lot of drugs since she was young to have caused her body’s internal organs to be in such a weak state.”

Weichi Yan said bluntly, “You only need to tell me if she will survive the night.”

The physician paused, “It’s not that serious, in fact, as long as she rests during the next few days, there’s still a chance that she will recover slightly and not become a short-lived ghost.”

Weichi Yan did not say anything.

Tsk, he was really delicate.

After a moment of contemplation, he said to the physician, “Prescribe her medicine according to her current condition, and bring it to me when it is written.”

“Yes, Lord.” The physician bent down and massaged his hand. There was something more nagging in his mind, he pondered for a long time, but still spoke politely, ” I took Madam’s pulse and found that the pulse …… was a little different from that of an ordinary woman.”

As soon as these words came out, Weichi Yan’s somewhat frightening gaze instantly fell on him, bringing a heavy pressure on his body.

Weichi Yan stared at him for a long time before he said, in a cold voice, “I know.”

The physician was startled at his words, and just as he looked up, he received a threatening reminder: “Only you and I know about this, and if I find out that there is a third person in this fortress who knows about it, your head and the safety of your family will be in your own hands.”

The physician fell to his knees in fear, sweating profusely, and said, “Please don’t worry, my lord, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!”

The expression on Weichi Yan’s face was still cold, and the physician could not tell whether he was in a good or bad mood at the moment. It was very stressful to stay with the cold-faced Weichi Yan, and he wanted to leave now that he’d received his orders.

When he saw Weichi Yan turn around to go back to his room, he remembered something important and gathered the courage to say, “By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be noted about the lady… fortress master.”

Weichi Yan turned back and gave him a questioning look.

The physician struggled for a long time before he bravely said, “Her Ladyship’s body is now so weak that it is not advisable to …… have intercourse.”

“If the fortress master wants Madam to get well, he will have to hold back for the time being and remain patient.”

He finished these words with his head down. He was unable to see Weichi Yan’s reaction and was particularly afraid that he would never be able to lift his head again. However, he waited for a long time without getting a reply from Weichi Yan, and was about to raise his head a little to check the situation when he heard the sound of the door being slammed shut.

It seemed like a little temper tantrum.

The physician looked at the closed door of the room and silently sympathized with the fortress master.

He had just gotten married, but had to remain a “vegetarian”.
