Liu Ruoxi’s words immediately infuriated Barbatos. Bound by its duty, it shouted, “Alright then, player Liu Ruoxi, you just wait. Offending me, Lord Barbatos, will not end well for you. Hmph, listen carefully. A core rule of the Fallen Angel game is that players must not reveal the existence of the game to any human outside its designated authority. Even the thought of revealing it is forbidden. You just had that thought in your heart, so the game system has judged you in violation. Hehe… The punishment for triggering the rule is this: the task you most don’t want to complete, the thing you most resist doing, will be generated as a mission. Tsk tsk… Can you hear the sound of your own decadent moans? Look, how beautiful and rapturous she is.”
As Liu Ruoxi listened to Barbatos’s explanation, a feeling of despair enveloped her. A profound sense of powerlessness even caused her body to tremble uncontrollably, her legs going weak.
The conversation in Liu Ruoxi’s mind happened in a flash, completed within mere seconds. In Yang Haoran’s eyes, his mother suddenly stood up, and within seconds, she was supporting herself on the dining table with her hand, as if unable to stand steady. Her body trembled, and her face looked utterly dreadful.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Yang Mengyao, sitting beside her mother, quickly stood up and supported her.
“Ruoxi, are you alright?”
Yang Wenfu was also baffled. Why did his wife’s face turn deathly pale right after he finished his apology?
“It’s… it’s nothing.”
Facing her husband’s concerned gaze and her children’s worried expressions, she forced a faint smile, but inside, she was in immense pain.
“Mm, I forgive you.”
She met her husband’s concerned eyes and said this, then turned to face Yaoyao and Haoran. “Mom is full. You two eat. I’m going back to my room to rest.”
She needed a quiet environment.
The sudden situation left her in no mood to deal with her husband’s apology. She uttered a casual response and tried to leave, but as she took a step, she stumbled and nearly fell. Fortunately, Yaoyao was still supporting her.
Seeing that his mother looked unwell and seemed utterly drained, Yang Haoran grew increasingly worried. He said to Yaoyao, “Yaoyao, take Mom back to her room to rest.”
Afterward, Liu Ruoxi left supported by Yang Mengyao, leaving father and son behind to look at each other in confusion, unaware of what had happened.
“Dad, does Mom have any old illnesses?” Yang Haoran asked his father. His mother’s reaction just now was like a sudden onset of illnessβshe seemed to be in great pain. But for some reason, he also sensed anger mixed with helplessness in her. These conflicting emotions made it seem as though something had made her furious yet left her powerless to act. It even reminded him of himself, but he hadn’t done anything wrong.
“No, Iβve never heard your mother mention anything like that.”
Yang Wenfu was equally puzzled. He had apologized to his wife; logically, even if she didnβt accept it, she shouldnβt have been shaking with anger. Moreover, she had even said she forgave him in the end.
“Haoran, later, go to your motherβs room to check on her and ask whatβs wrong.”
Finally, Yang Wenfu instructed his son.
β¦After returning to her bedroom, Liu Ruoxi asked Yaoyao to leave. Facing her daughterβs worried gaze, she forced a smile and told her not to worry.
As the door closed, Liu Ruoxi turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness. She lay on the bed, her eyes staring blankly into space. A biting cold made her pull the quilt over her body.
[The Unfaithful Wife, Special Mission!] Mission Sequence 01: Completed.
Mission Sequence 02: Player Liu Ruoxi must actively seduce the Controller and make him watch her shower. Reward: 50 points. Mission Sequence 03: Unlocked after completing the prerequisite mission!
Lying on the soft bed, staring at the system mission panel, Liu Ruoxiβs heart felt like dead ashes.
An affairβand with her son, no lessβand ultimately having her husband discover her affair with their son. The mere thought made her heart grow cold and still. This was pushing her into becoming a “slut.”
A slut who committed incest with her son!
Since being bound by the evil Fallen Angel game, she had been making compromises. From adjusting her mentality to doing things that violated ethical norms, she had managed to endure it allεεΌΊε°ζΏεδΈζ₯. But now, the triggering of the Unfaithful Wife mission had shattered her psychological defenses in one blow.
She feltη»ζ.
Yet, the punishment for refusing the mission would destroy everything she had. She knew she couldnβt refuse. She knew she would complete the mission. But she also knew she needed quietβa quiet environment that would allow her to become stronger.
She wasnβt that fragile. For Haoran and Yaoyao, she couldnβt afford to be fragile.
A woman may be soft, but as a mother, she becomes strong.
As time passed, Liu Ruoxiβs shattered defenses gradually stabilized through self-psychologicalηε―Ό. She regained her composure.
She began to contemplate the consequences of the Unfaithful Wife mission.
If she completed the missions step by step, it was inevitable that she would engage in the shocking incestuous affair with her son. She asked herself inwardly, could she accept such a thing?
No!
came the response in her heart.
If she were to do this for Haoran and Yaoyao, sacrificing herself, could she accept the reality of incest?
Yes!
She had her answer. Her childhood experiences had long taught her self-psychologicalηε―Ό, making her heart increasingly resilient.
Hardships could break her, but they could never defeat her.
No one knew what kind of pain she would have to endure after making this decision. The world would only see her as a slut. Even her husband and son would think of her as a slut.

Better to overlook the city and the nation, for such a beauty is hard to find again.
