The Villain Loaded My System

Gu Xiyu, who had gotten his butt covered in mashed potatoes, looked up in confusion and abruptly met a pair of calm eyes.

The eyes were blue, hidden beneath the tresses on his forehead, yet they were still as deep and beautiful as the deep sea. Probably because his intrusion was too sudden, a very shallow wave still swirled beneath those eyes.

They belonged to a very handsome-looking man with delicately chiseled features that were unforgettable to the eye. His hair was black, but he looked a little like a person of mixed race. It was impossible to say whether he was more Eastern or Western, but it was certain that he had all the good qualities of both, especially the amazing temperament.

calm and elegant.

After admiring the other man’s face, Gu Xiyu’s eyes subconsciously moved down.

The man wore a luxurious outfit of silver-white and black, looking clean and tidy, except for a white area on his chest, which was abruptly stained with some sauce.

‘I am probably the culprit,’ Gu Xiyu thought to himself.

Commander Gu was extremely chagrined, this seemed to be the first time in his life that he had made such a fool of himself and done something so offensive.

“This, where did this come from?!”

“Is it a rabbit? But it doesn’t look like a normal pet rabbit……”

“Is it from the beast race? Could it be dangerous?”

“It’s kind of cute.”

The people around him awkwardly put down the cups they were holding after coming back to their senses and began to study the ‘rabbit’ that had fallen from the sky. The rabbit was different from anything they had ever seen; its ears hung down in a manner very similar to a lop-eared rabbit, but its fur was a very pale yellow; unlike a normal rabbit, its tail was long and thin. There were some dark brown patterns on its face and neck, and the lines on its forehead looked like the word “king” from a distance.

Rabbits usually have trademark incisors, but this one on the dinner plate only had a pair of very sharp, lethal canines. The eyes were beautiful, with one pupil purple and the other a light blue like the sky.

Gu Xiyu didn’t know who these people were, he just felt that it was not a good idea to stay here for long, they looked like they would take him in at any moment for research. So, as the people around him began to reach out to him, he moved his legs and dove to the side.

He was trying to escape from the table but was accidentally grabbed by his tail by the man in silver-white, his warm hand resting on the tip of his furry tail as he struggled.

The hand holding his tail exerted some strength, and his back suddenly tingled from the grip, which made him instinctively fight back.

The sound of electricity zipping around the table was not loud, but it was loud enough to be heard by those around the table, causing the person holding his tail to release his grip.

“This thing can discharge electricity?!”

“Then, it wouldn’t be a normal pet, would it?”

Gu Xiyu also just realized that he could discharge electricity.

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Xiyu seized the moment to dart away before the door was closed, not continuing to pay attention to what was going on in the room.

The only quiet man at the table was looking down at his hand that had grasped the furry mass, the slightly engorged red of his fingers made more obvious because of his pale complexion.

“Admiral Caesar, are you…all right?”

The people in the room became indignant, “That rabbit is so hateful that it may as well be an alien that has broken into the main city, I will order it hunted down immediately!”

The man rubbed his thumb over the belly of his other fingers a few times and said softly, “No need.”

“It’s just a non-threatening little rabbit.”

——-

The first thing Gu Xiyu did after he escaped was to wash his butt. He also got soap and washed it repeatedly, making sure the smell of food was all cleared from the fluff before he stopped.

The main city was a huge place, covering an area almost as large as the small countries in his first two worlds. All sorts of people lived there, and the architectural styles could vary greatly from region to region.

He wasn’t sure if he counted himself unlucky, having managed to escape from a group of people who looked like the military, only to be followed by a group of hunters that illegally captured rare animals.

As times changed and beast races emerged, some species that were smaller and less aggressive or dangerous became beings that could live in harmony with people and be taken as pets. Among them were a few more rare races that were generally banned from being raised in captivity, but some rich people couldn’t resist and were willing to offer high prices to acquire them, so such illegal organizations came into being.

“Fuck, that rabbit let our prey go!”

“We could have gotten a few million-star coins for them!”

He really didn’t mean to cause trouble, he just happened to pass by the small warehouse on his way out, and heard the sounds of animals coming from inside. Then he discovered that he was able to communicate with them. The animals in the cages were odd-looking, most of which he hadn’t seen before, but they were all rather cute and had nice fur or feathers.

He asked them for directions: “Do you know which way to go to the palace?”

If the Great Demon’s goal was to go against the protagonist, who was the Crown Prince of the Empire, then he would definitely turn into an acquaintance in order to get close, so he decided to sneak straight into the palace, find the male protagonist, and then speculate on the Great Demon’s identity.

“If you can let us out, I’ll tell you.” The large bird with colored feathers said to him from the cage.

He didn’t know where to get the key, and was so depressed when he couldn’t find a tool that could be used to open the lock. He suddenly got a little angry and unconsciously followed his instinct and bit the lock off the cage.

The lock, which, according to the animals in the cage, was so strong that it could not be burned by fire, was easily broken by his teeth.

The animals in the cage were shocked, and Gu Xiyu was also a bit confused, staring down at the lock that he had bitten in half and beginning to doubt life.

The commotion of the animals scrambling to escape caught the attention of the hunters outside the door, and when they hurried in, they only saw Gu Xiyu crouched outside the cage and turned their spears directly on him.

Gu Xiyu managed to escape thanks to his dexterity and pettiness, hiding under a car that looked like it was carrying supplies. The car was full of vegetables and fruit, and he huddled quietly in the corner, so it was difficult to find him without looking carefully.

The big bird kept its word and told him before it flew away: “Keep going north, and you will soon see a very tall building, it’s the highest in the city, with a long, thin lightning rod. That’s the royal palace you are looking for. There are several large, donut-shaped guard stations floating around it; it’s heavily guarded, so you will definitely recognize it.”

Fortunately, the car Gu Xiyu slipped into was heading in the northern direction.

A notification suddenly rang out in his mind.

[[Your cute and smart intelligence system is online!]]

Gu Xiyu remained slumped in the car, not speaking.

Only after a long time did he receive an unsolicited message from the intelligent system.

[?]

Gu Xiyu stared at the question mark for a long time in silence, then calmly followed the procedure to introduce himself to the intelligent system.

The system’s response was quite calm: [I see.]

Just when he thought the system would simply go into hiding like it always did, it added, [The task sounds quite simple, if you need anything, please feel free to ask.]

[Of course, I may not always be able to help.]

“……” Worthy of his hateful system, no matter how many times it was reset, the characteristics remained the same.

Perhaps he was too tired from the day’s misadventures, or maybe he was just too comfortable lying in the food pile, but he silently finished nibbling on a sweet red fruit and nestled into the corner to drift off to sleep.

“Mr Mark, is that another delivery to the mansion?”

“Hey, good evening guards! Sophia in the kitchen tells me that the Admiral’s House is having a ball in a few days and there will be many guests arriving, so fresh fruit and vegetables are needed.”

The men’s warm and cheerful greetings woke up Gu Xiyu, who was sleeping comfortably.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, he still had small, furry paws.

“Please pull over to the side first. Although we’re old acquaintances, we still have to follow the rules and register you and then check the contents of your car.”

“Understood, I heard that there was also an incident at the inspection hall this afternoon.”

“Yes, but Lieutenant General Xie seems to have taken care of things there, so it shouldn’t cause any major repercussions.”

The people outside the car were originally talking in a relaxed manner, but as Gu Xiyu listened, another voice appeared, “Hello, Lieutenant General Xie asked me to bring an important message to Admiral Caesar, here is my ID card; you can authenticate it directly, is the Admiral there, please?”

Caesar…he heard the name again. Admirals were supposed to have a high status in the Empire, especially in a crisis like this, when people with great combat abilities become national treasures.

So, he had come to that admiral’s residence by mistake? This cart of supplies… was sent to his house?

Gu Xiyu thought as he poked his head out and focused on the situation outside the rounded car window.

The uniforms of the guards and the men who had come to them were both blue. They looked similar, but the details were designed slightly differently.

The youth near the gate hesitantly said, “The Admiral hasn’t returned yet, if you don’t mind – ah, wait, that’s the Admiral’s spaceship.”

Gu Xiyu looked toward where the other man’s eyes had landed, and there was indeed a spaceship several times the size of a modern vehicle parked there. The door of the craft was automatic. It moved open in the left direction, and a slender figure in a silver-white uniform emerged from it, the cuffs and collar a familiar black.

He froze, his eyes glancing subconsciously toward the underside of the collar.

It was clean, there were no soup stains.

And then he looked at the owner of the clothes, whose face he had seen earlier at the table. The finely carved facial features were uncommon.

“……” It turned out that this man was the legendary Admiral Caesar.

When Mark got out of the car, he didn’t close the door, and it happened to be facing away from the rest of the people around. Gu Xiyu sneaked out of the car before they came over to check and quickly moved to hide in a nearby bush, twitching his ears to follow the conversation of the people outside.

The soldier who claimed to have been sent by Xie Mingan to bring a message to Caesar saluted before speaking, “Reporting to Lord Admiral, Lieutenant General Xie rescued someone while he was out on a mission, and given all the factors, we believe that the other party might be your fiancée, so he asked me to come and give you a report.”

After these words, Gu Xiyu felt that even the air around them stopped for a second.

The guards watching outside the government all had cracked expressions on their faces.

The person in question was silent for a full half minute before speaking in a deep voice, “Oh? And where is she?”

“I’m very sorry, there was an accident in the testing hall while he was preparing to enter the city, and we haven’t seen the person after getting separated from him. Here are the photos and basic information we have available, Lieutenant General Xie asked me to come and check with you first.”

The man took the tablet handed to him with a calm face.

The boy on the screen was very good-looking, with blonde hair and long, thick eyelashes, like an elf stepping out of a story.

“Gu Xiyu.” He murmured softly; it was obviously a very ordinary name, but when it came out of his mouth, it carried an indescribable sense of affection.

Gu Xiyu, who was hiding in the bush, watched Caesar’s expression. He saw the other party smile lightly and say meaningfully, “A boy, eh?”

“.…”

Very good.

He was almost certain now that the original owner and this admiral certainly didn’t have a marriage pact.

The original owner was a rabbit; how could a member of the beast race be engaged to a human?

——————–

The author has something to say.

Great Demon: Why not? If not with me, who else would you like to be engaged to? Xie Mingan?

Gu Xiyu: …?
