   [System + non-removable vest + goddess setting + no cp] [laughing] [laughing] After Jiang Wu was bound to the system, he was confused by money, and was taken by the system to an unknown dynasty to complete the task. Then I realized that she was a commoner, and her targets were emperors, queens, princes, princesses, generals, marquises, princes... Very good, her targets included fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, and the system. Are you sure I won't be cut into pieces? "Host, believe in yourself, you are the chosen beauty and the disaster." No, Jiang Wu was expressionless. What she was holding should be the deadly script of Mountains of Swords and Seas of Fire. However, Jiang Wu took a look at the system mall, and it seemed that there was no chance of survival. In that era when imperial power was supreme, even if she sold refined salt, she would be killed. As for beauty, hey, ordinary people with such beauty, wouldn't they be afraid of death? Prince Xie Zhao was chasing a group of gangsters, but he accidentally fell into a trap and fell into danger. When he was about to die, a goddess came and gave him an elixir that brought people back to life. Jiang Wu smiled, thank you for the invitation, it's just the most common anti-inflammatory medicine. Daxuan welcomed the goddess back. From then on, the world was peaceful, the seas and rivers were clear, and the people had enough food and clothing, and lived and worked in peace and contentment. A few years later, the system looked at the full favorability. Not only the target, but also the entire Daxuan, the favorability was off the charts. Jiang Wu smiled, nothing else, it was just a code for modern people to show off.
