Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things?

"We just met, no... no need for such a grand gesture," Jinsheng stared in horror at Lou Yan Zhi, who was kneeling at his feet.

"You don’t understand." Lou Yan Zhi lifted his head, his face full of agony.

Suddenly, a loud roar filled the air, and Caicai, a giant scallion, directly launched Xuan Jiu and sprinted over.

"Host 001, Level 1 Violation in speech detected, you’ve gone OOC!" Caicai’s tone switched to a mechanical voice, delivering a deep warning.

Lou Yan Zhi ignored Caicai and turned directly to Jinsheng: "You’ll understand soon enough."

"Host 001, Level 2 Violation in speech detected, executing electrical punishment," Caicai pronounced mercilessly, ghost-like in its presence behind Lou Yan Zhi.

A bolt of electricity streaked in, scaring Jinsheng until he stumbled backward out of the reception hall.

Lou Yan Zhi lay flat on the ground, visibly trembling under the crackling purple lightning that zapped him continuously for three full minutes.

Through the electric shocks, he stubbornly pushed himself up to standing, wiped the soot from his face, his gaze rebellious and mocking as he scoffed, "Is that all?"

"Host persona ’Long Aotian’ detected as accurate, punishment terminated," Caicai answered mechanically.

Though his hands and feet were numb from the electricity, and his legs struggled to support him, Lou Yan Zhi refused to lean on anything for help.

He forced himself upright and staggered toward Jinsheng while keeping a wary eye on Caicai, subtly distancing himself from it.

"I can help you deal with the Insect Clan," Lou Yan Zhi declared with authority.

Jinsheng eyed him suspiciously as Lou Yan Zhi’s smug expression betrayed a desperate plea, though his tone remained confident, "But I, Lou Yan Zhi, never do business where I take a loss."

"If you want my help against the Insect Clan, you need to put forth enough bargaining chips."

Jinsheng pressed her lips tightly together, suppressing a laugh, averting her gaze from this soot-covered, electrified figure.

Having witnessed Lou Yan Zhi’s erratic behavior, she had a lingering sense that there was more to this.

Curiosity got the better of her: "What chips?"

Lou Yan Zhi glanced back at Caicai with a sneer before facing Jinsheng again. He took a deep breath and spoke rapidly: "I was originally a carefree Sword Cultivator, dragged to the Otherworld after being forcibly bound to the system. Forced to act against my will and adhere to this ’Long Aotian’ persona—if I deviate, I get electrocuted—"

Before he could finish, another bolt of purple lightning erupted from him.

The electricity seemed targeted, sparing everyone else and focused solely on Lou Yan Zhi.

Even the carpet beneath his feet remained pristine, untouched by the shock.

"Host 001, Level 5 Violation in speech detected, executing electrical punishment," Caicai floated behind Lou Yan Zhi like a ghost, delivering its chilling mechanical verdict.

Jinsheng trembled as she tried to reason with him: "I get it, I get it, just—stick to the persona, okay?"

If this continued, she’d really be burying someone on her doorstep.
