"What do you want to do?" Pei Qingyu asked in surprise.
"If I gave my dad the diary, what do you think he would do?"
"You can show it to him," Pei Qingyu said contemptuously, "He will just say 'Don't air your dirty laundry in public' and never mention it again."
"What if I show it to Aunt Song and our two good sisters?" Pei Xuan said, "What if I post it online and make it public?"
Pei Qingyu's voice showed a hint of hesitation: "Dad will naturally find a way to suppress it."
"Does the Pei family alone have the final say in the empire's media and public opinion?" Pei Xuan was unconvinced. "Dad doesn't have any political enemies? Even if we take a step back, there must be quite a few people outside the empire who are interested in you and the Pei family, right?"
This world consists of two continents, the East and the West. The East Continent is occupied by the Daliang Empire and its vassal states, while the West Continent is home to many countries, large and small.
These countries in the Western Continent were busy fighting each other and had not yet spared time to deal with the Daliang Empire, but their eyes had never left it.
As one of the eight great families of the Daliang Empire, the Pei family has a high reputation in the Western Continent.
Pei Qingyu bit her lip lightly: "You want to threaten me?"
Pei Xuan smiled faintly: "It's not a threat, but I do want to ask you for something."
Pei Qingyu asked tentatively: "What is it?"
Your surrender---Pei Xuan thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
He knew that it would be impossible to make Pei Qingyu completely surrender with just this diary.
After all, by making this diary public, Pei Qingyu would only lose face.
Besides, this is an electronic diary and there is no actual handwriting. As long as Pei Qingyu firmly denies it, no one will have any evidence to prove that she is lying.
"I want justice!"
Pei Xuan's words clearly exceeded Pei Qingyu's expectations. She asked in confusion, "Justice? What kind of justice do you want?"
Pei Xuan said, "I was rude this morning. You could have yelled back, or even slapped me. That's all within the reasonable range of retaliation. But you slapped me so hard that I vomited blood. Do you think that's fair?"
Pei Xuan's words naturally made sense. Pei Qingyu knew in her heart that she had indeed been impulsive that morning, but she was still unwilling to apologize, so she avoided Pei Xuan's question: "Do you want compensation?"
"That's right." Pei Xuan tried his best to suppress his inner tension and took out a small dagger from the back pocket of his pajama pants. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You beat me and made me bleed, so you should repay me with your own blood. If you cut your finger with this dagger, I will return the spare one to you, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."
Yes, Pei Xuan never expected that Pei Qingyu would surrender to him with just a diary. All he wanted was a drop of blood.
This is nothing to Pei Qingyu, so she will most likely not refuse, but as long as he has this drop of blood, he can become the controller of Pei Qingyu's body through the blood contract, which is ten thousand times more effective than any handle or threat.
Sure enough, Pei Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, snatched the dagger, and gently cut the index finger of his left hand.
Blood stained the tip of the dagger and dripped down from it.
Pei Qingyu asked coldly: "Are you satisfied?"
Pei Xuan was so happy that he couldn't speak, but he still tried his best to keep calm on his face.
He took back the dagger and left Pei Qingyu's room without saying a word.
Returning to his room and closing the door, Pei Xuan impatiently called the system: "System, I have Pei Qingyu's blood. How do I form a blood contract?"
"It has been detected that the host has obtained Pei Qingyu's blood through non-violent means. Do you want to form a blood contract immediately?"
"Yes! Do it immediately!" The next moment after the order was issued, Pei Xuan saw the blood on the dagger quickly condense into a round drop of blood, sliding away from the dagger, flying to the hand that Pei Xuan was holding the dagger, and then spread out into a blood drop.
After a while, the blood completely seeped into the skin, leaving no trace.
"Congratulations to the host for forming a blood pact with a fourth-level cultivator. 400 points are awarded."
"The store function is unlocked. The host can open the store interface to shop at any time. This interface is only visible to the host."
Upon hearing that the blood contract was formed, Pei Xuan immediately wanted to rush to the opposite door to test its effectiveness, but the system's next sentence made him stop temporarily.
"Open the store interface."
As Pei Xuan issued the order, an interface about the size of a computer screen suddenly unfolded in front of him.
Pei Xuan took a closer look and found that the interface was very similar to the interfaces of the shopping apps he was familiar with.
The homepage is a recommendation of various products. The middle button can enter the classification of all products. It has almost everything Pei Xuan has thought of and has not thought of. The button on the right is the personal center, where you can see the points balance and the products you have purchased.
After spending about half an hour searching and browsing, and considering his current needs, Pei Xuan spent 300 points and bought three items that cost 100 points each, leaving 100 points in reserve.
[Soundproof Barrier (Low Level)] When used, the area within two meters around you will be completely soundproof.
[Sex Master (Low Level)] After obtaining this ability, you can give the target slight pleasure through physical contact.
[Unbreakable Gun (Low Level)] After acquiring this ability, each sexual intercourse will last no less than five minutes (calculated from the moment of penetration).
After completing the preparations, Pei Xuan felt that it was time to test whether the things provided by the system were really useful.
He walked out of the room and knocked on the door opposite.
The room was quiet for a moment, and then footsteps were heard.
As the footsteps approached and stopped, the tightly closed door was opened.
A gust of fragrant wind blew into Pei Xuan's nose.
Pei Qingyu had just finished taking a shower at this time, her hair was wet, and she was wearing a pure white silk nightgown. The low neckline revealed her collarbone, which added a bit of sexiness that did not belong to a girl.
"I'm returning your diary to you." Pei Qingyu snatched the USB flash drive from Pei Xuan's hand and threw it onto the desk behind him.
Seeing that Pei Xuan didn't seem to want to leave, she said coldly, "Anything else?"
Pei Xuan showed a sincere expression: "Can I come in and talk?"
Pei Qingyu pondered for a moment and did not answer, but took a step back and opened the door.
Pei Xuan quietly opened the soundproof barrier, walked quickly into the room, and closed the door behind him.
Pei Qingyu crossed his arms over his chest, frowning slightly: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
Pei Xuan's eyes became full of emotion: "Sister, I like you."
"What?" Pei Qingyu had never expected Pei Xuan to express himself so directly to her. She couldn't believe it for a moment and even suspected that she had misheard. "Say it again?"
