Chapter 121 – Two Cats, One Courtyard - Part 1
Dong Bai and Zou Shi were escorted to Sima Manor by Sima Fang's subordinates and were given a courtyard of their own.

When the system offered her that she could get the [True Self] skill back, Dong Bai declined it. She had a hunch that the system A.I. was scheming something that could harm her and Tong.
Because of the refusal, the system did not give her back the skill, but she was kind enough to alter Dong Bai's [Sealed] skill and allow her to accept a mission from the system in the future. However, the rest of the restriction was still present.
As she became powerless, both Dong Bai and Zou Shi struggled to mix into this city. They were arrested later after one of the shops reported to the guards that they did not have an identification token.
Zou Shi cried in the prison in desperation that they would get executed or ravished while they were in jail. Fortunately, the Department of Justice of Julu treated prisoners differently than other cities. They were guided to the judges and the prosecutors, which they met Sima Fang in the process. Afterward, it led to this situation.
'I have no obligation to take a mission. But I need a system skill to survive in this world. I guess I have no choice.'
Dong Bai pushed the generate mission button in her status menu screen. The system gave out a loud bell chime in her mind.
[Hoho! Are you willing to be my slave now?]
”Slave your sister! Give me a mission! I need lifespans and a skill!”
[Is that the right tone to speak with your master? Don't forget that I can kill you little imp at any time I want to!]
”Then go ahead and kill me! My godfather will see everything. He will come back here and erase your dimension!”
[… Now, little girl. You pissed me off. Fine, I'll give you YOUR MISSION!]
[*Ding*]
*********************************************
**Supplementary Mission No.1**
Clear Condition: Lower the level of Zhang Tong's [Demonic Seal] skill.

Clearing Reward: 10,000 Lifespans

”[Demonic Seal]? Since when did he get this skill? But why?”
[You don't need to know. Just do it as I tell you to.]
Dong Bai glared at the monitor screen where it described the quest details. The system A.I. was definitely plotting something sinister.
'She has the power to edit the skill herself, but why did she give this task to me? Is there something wrong with the skill? Or maybe …'
The eyes of Dong Bai glinted. She had a theory.
'Someone stronger than the system A.I. put this skill on Tong, so she couldn't delete it.'
”I refuse this quest. I want another one!”
[No can do. No refund! You take it, then you complete it or fail it!]
Hearing that she could not cancel the mission, Dong Bai gave up trying to bargain with the system.
'I have a bad feeling with the word [Seal]. I don't trust this system. I'll get my power back once I return to Hell anyway. I should fail this mission.'
'Besides, I need to delete Tong's [Plot Armor]. I can't waste my admin's right on this dubious skill.'

Meanwhile, Tong returned to his residence area. He had to consult with Hua Shi about Li Feihong's treatment and about her being pregnant. This was Tong's first time being a father, so he was nervous.
”Oh, hey. You're back.”
Hua Shi sat on the middle of the courtyard with 4 maids tending her needs. On the tea table in front of her, fruits, herbal medicines, and snacks were lined up.
