"Wha?" Fang Xiang found herself looking at a blur of colors before plunging down the ground with her head hitting the soft gra.s.s."Xiang mei, what"s wrong with you today? Your posture is bad, your focus is elsewhere. Is it because the general is personally observing the practice today?" A male voice addressed as she strived to make sense of her current situation.
"No, it"s nothing like that Feng ge." Fang Xiang shook her head, declining the silly notion as she rose up to face the male of about eighteen years old. In Fang Xiang"s memory, the man is called Ya Feng, one of her closest comrade in the military. In this world, females seldom sign up for the militia, and she is the only female soldier appointed in this camp. Some guys sought to take advantage of her since she seemed weak and beautiful, comparable to the daughters of the n.o.bilities. But of course, things didn"t go as smoothly as they planned. Fang Xiang handily knocked them out, then rapidly rising up the ranks in the army. "I don"t feel well today. I"ll just rest under that shade for a moment. I"ll catch up in a few minutes." Fang Xiang pointed to a random tree in the rear.
Ya Feng stared worriedly at his friend and nodded. "Make sure to rest properly. I don"t want you to get sick, especially this close to the upcoming war."
"En," Fang Xiang nodded, thankful for his concern. Perching under the shade of a tall tree, Fang Xiang surveyed the various soldiers training under the sun. Fang Xiang"s skin remained snow white even after the countless exercise drills subjected under the scorching sun. How exquisite. Fang Xiang smiled, not noticing the shocked stares from the soldiers, which in turn drew the general"s attention towards the girl resting under the shade of a big tree.
Fang Xiang sat silently under the tree in her worn-out soldier uniform, with her luscious black hair knotted up into a bun. Despite the shabby clothes and apparent lack of care in her appearance, Fang Xiang remained an unwavering beauty that could make men stop dead in their tracks.
"System, what"s my mission?" Fang Xiang spoke in her mind.
"Your mission is to prevent the female lead from destroying the world in any way you can. You are not allowed to kill her yourself, but you can make others do it for you. And another good news is that you can go OOC as much as you want. Just don"t let anyone suspect your ident.i.ty since there will be unnecessary problems. Another one is to prevent Guan Chengyi from falling in love with Yun Mei. This is the only counterattack mission you have from the original body."
"Got it." Fang Xiang hummed in acknowledgment. Thanks, system, you"re the best! "Going OOC as much as I want. Heh. How fun."
Feeling that she had digested and proceeded through the memories of the original body several times, Fang Xiang stood up to partner up with a couple of random pitiful soldiers to experiment in her martial arts skills, much to her excitement.
After completing numerous rounds of matches with multiple soldiers, Fang Xiang casually strode into her camp, plopping down on top her bed, and giggled at how exhilarating it was to battle with her fellow brothers. She found out that her strength is a couple of times stronger than an average human and she can easily discern the opponent"s move and counterattack against it.
Fang Xiang hummed contentedly, as she spends her day scanning through the system shop in her mind. Each world mission points will vary since each world has its own level of difficulty. And to reincarnate, she will need a total of 50,000 points. Not a bad deal if you ask her since she gets to travel to various worlds and experience all the new things. Side mission points would differ since it can be issued anytime, and the difficulty would vary.

The system shop comprises of copious materials like potions, pills, all sorts of weapons and manuals, and even means of transportation like a car. There"s even an astral sword that costs 60,000 points. Well, she"s broke right now with zero points, so she should earn more points.
"System, are there any side missions for me?" Fang Xiang inquired.
"Let me check, Host." The system went silent for a moment before replying. "There are several right now: Prevent the crown prince from liking Yun Mei, reward 50 points. Prevent Yun Mei from being the empress, reward 50 points. Prevent the second war between the Huo Empire and the Jun Empire, reward 100 points."
Got it.
Fang Xiang rose to her feet and stretched her body when Ya Feng went inside her tent. Fang Xiang was startled for a second before she beamed at him. "What is it, brother Feng?"
Ya Feng coughed before replying, "Uh, they"re already serving dinner…"
"Oh, then let"s set off, Feng ge." Fang Xiang, accompanied by Ya Feng strode out of her tent, heading over to an extra large tent cramped with many tables and chairs. Of course, this won"t fit everyone inside the tent, so soldiers that arrived later would have no choice but to eat outside the tent on the cold, hard ground. "I"ll save the chairs for us, Feng ge." Fang Xiang pointed to a set of abandoned chairs arranged at the side of the room.
"En, I"ll bring your food then." Ya Feng parted ways with Fang Xiang, heading straight for the line of soldiers waiting for food.
After taking two chairs, Fang Xiang sat on the usual table with her other two friends who were eagerly stuffing their faces with food. "Li ge, Su ge." Fang Xiang greeted as she sat across the Qiu brothers, Qiu Li, and Qiu Su.
"Oh, Xiang mei," Qiu Li cheerfully greeted back while Qiu Su nodded, giving her a faint smile. Fang Xiang grinned at their contrasting responses, flas.h.i.+ng them a closed eye smile. "Xiang mei, your smile really is deadly!" Qiu Li exaggeratedly shut his eyes with his two hands, then slowly peeked between the gap of his fingers at Fang Xiang"s reaction. Fang Xiang couldn"t help but chuckle and pinched Qiu Li"s cheek, totally forgetting that in this ancient times, men and women can"t have intimate contact with one another.
Qiu Li was caught off guard by the unexpected warm yet soft contact and blushed bright red. "X-Xiang mei…"
"Hm?" Fang Xiang angled her head questioningly, eliciting a rather adorable image despite her femme fatale prowess she exuded during the training. "What"s wrong?"
Before Qiu Li could explain, Ya Feng had obstructed her view with a dinner plate, "Eat."
Fang Xiang pouted as she reluctantly released the soft cheeks of her brother before directing her attention to the meal in front of her; A bowl of rice coupled with bland vegetables and meat. Fang Xiang picked up her chopsticks, poking on the unappetizing food like it"s some kind of alien organ.
"What"s wrong?" Ya Feng studied his friend, puzzled by her sudden behavior. The original Fang Xiang would"ve stuffed her cheeks with food by now. But after the new Fang Xiang occupied the body, she has been acting more refined.
"Nothing"s wrong, Feng ge. Thanks for your worries though I really appreciate it." Fang Xiang forced out a smile while picking up a slice of pork and chewed slowly, trying hard to restrain her facial expression from contorting. "System, you didn"t tell me that the food here is very… bland."
"This is the usual soldier"s food. There aren"t many provisions supplied by the royal family towards the military. Moreover, spices are rather expensive here, so you have to get used to eating it."
"Ugh, I suppose I have no choice then. Wish me luck."
"Good luck, Host." The system complied obediently.
"System, you"re so cute!" Fang Xiang cooed at her obedient system.
While Fang Xiang was busy conversing with her system and mindlessly consuming her meal, the surrounding soldiers were shaken silly by the sudden elegance radiated by the female soldier. Particularly when she smiled while eating. Her thick lashes would flutter down when picking up her food, her long jade slender hand that was holding on to the chopsticks... is just so pleasing to watch!
How did they not notice her elegance before?! Have they gone blind? How did they not perceive that Fang Xiang was such a sophisticated lady even comparable to the n.o.bilities living in the capital? They must"ve been visually impaired before. En, they must"ve. Since they"ve noticed a genuine beauty in their own camp, they can start to feast their eyes on her, even though it"s only from afar...
The Qiu brothers and Ya Feng were busy glaring at the soldiers, threatening them with their glares to no avail.
Guan Chengyi, who just walked into the scene, was also stunned by the sight of beauty leisurely and elegantly savoring her food. She would smile from time to time, yet everyone was simply too focused on her beauty to notice that odd behavior.
While everyone was busy staring, the supposed beauty was busy arguing with her system. "No way system, that won"t do."
"It will. Trust me, Host."
"No way. The general will surely suspect me if I just came up with a plan. I should just leave the planning to the general and avoid getting injured during the war so that I could limit the casualty during the ambush."
"But then more soldiers would lose their lives, decreasing the chance of surviving the ambush. Moreover, this is only a D-level world. The characters here are much simpler and less cunning, provided that there is no external force changing them."
"But I am the external force."
"... Good luck with that."
"..."
"Well, the plot hasn"t even started yet. You won"t die by this."
"... Fine. Good thing the original body has a high station, a rank just below the general. If not, it would be troublesome for me to get my idea across him."
Fang Xiang stopped interacting with her system and glared at the remaining food, forcing herself to consume the rest swiftly since she"ll need all the energy for a few day"s war preparation.
After swallowing the last piece of vegetable, she turned to face Ya Feng and the Qiu brothers. "Are you guys done? Let"s get out of here." Fang Xiang casually put her bowl into the was.h.i.+ng basket before heading out with her trusted brothers.
Guan Chengyi stood staring at her figure as she walked out of the tent, not looking away until her frame can no longer be seen.
"General," Guan Chengyi"s subordinate, Xuan Ji, started. "The-"
"Let"s get our portion," Guan Chengyi marched straight into the line, cutting off his subordinate"s words. Xuan Ji unquestioningly followed behind in silence.
