Ah Ying is a big bully!

Xun Ying, "..."

[What the hell?! Did I just got eaten by the painting??? Baobao! Baobao!!!]

{Baobao at your service! How may I help you?}

[Explain to me, what is this mess? How the hell did I get here?! Where am I?]

{Hos- Ahem. I mean Ah Ying, you are eaten up by the painting of the 4 Divine Guardians.}

[...Do I need you to tell me that?! I already know! Explain to me in detail where we are!]

{You are currently inside the Painting of the Divine Guardians left behind by the Heaven-sent genius Bai Qingli, or precisely speaking you are in Divinity's Desolation in Rosewood garden. This place is the home of the 4 guardian beast, and couldn't enter easily without breaking defense, of course, there are some exceptions. Wait. Huh? Ah Ying? My God! I think you may have been summoned by the divine beasts!!! Hahahaha! My host this time is special! Ahahahaha!!! I could ask for a pay raise! Ahahahaha, thank the goddess of luck on this little system! Ahahahahahaha!]

[...You get paid?]

{Of course! I don't work for free, I need to get promoted and advance in rank, just like you mortals}

[...]

{Ahem. Anyways, we just need to wait a few moments to find out the reason you are summoned here.}

One minute later…

Five minutes later…

Twenty minutes later….

An hour has passed…

[Baobao?]

{Yes?}

[Where are the guardians you spoke of?!]

{This...cough-cough-cough}

[Don't fake cough. You are a system.]

{Well, we also get sick too! When your peeps are visited by diseases, we are planted with viruses.}

[I know perfectly well that you are fine.]

{cough-cough-cough}

[Enough. Just tell me the situation.]

{Baobao thinks that you are not summoned by the guardians anymore but enter the painting because of some other reasons. There are 4 exceptions to enter the painting. 1)The summon of the guardians  2) Cultivation higher than it's the creator when the painting is created (higher than half-immortal stage) 3)The creator 4)Will of the world. 2 and 3 are automatically eliminated because you haven't even entered Foundation Establishment, let alone Half-immortal stage and that the creator had ascended to the upper realms. Therefore, we are left with option 1 and 4. Originally, Baobao thought that you are summoned by the Guardians because it is more likely to be possible compared to the will of Eververse. But it looks like it may really be the will of the world. Looks like Baobao caught a big fish this time. Hehe.}

[So, I'm swallowed inside because the world wanted it to swallow me?!]

{In a way, yes.}

[...I think that before I can even cultivate, the world is going against me.]

{Ah Ying, it may be a blessing in disguise though.}

[But, I do know for a fact that my salted fish life may not come true. *sobs*]

{*comforts the host* Don't worry, you still have Baobao.}

[...Baobao]

{Ah Ying~}

{Baobao}

{Ah Ying~}

[Now what do we do?]

{...} The host has no feelings. Baobao is deeply hurt. Baobao thought that they are getting affectionate but the host didn't follow the logic. QAQ, why is my host so cold?!

Before Baobao can answer, Xun Ying already started to move towards the gate. The gate was surrounded by roses and trees. 

Normal people wouldn't be able to see the gate because it was so rusty and blend in with the trees, however, Xun Ying has the invincible Baobao who had sharpened her five senses when she came into this world.

Using a sword provided by Baobao, Xun Ying began to cut the vines making a small hole big enough

for Xun Ying to pass through. 

And how does she did that when she is still a baby? Well, imagine it yourself.

Okay, fine. 

Baobao used spiritual power to move the sword and cut down the vines while Xun Ying stood to the side cheering for Baobao. Baobao's life isn't easy, bullied by the host and now even had his credit taken. 

{Wu~wu~wu~ *sobs* I need a raise! I need a raise!!!}

Soon, Xun Ying enters the hole. On the other side, was a plain grassland with nothing else except a single tree in the far distance.

[...]

Xun Ying went back into the hole to get back to Rosegarden and tried again. However, the results are the same. Only a plain grassland without any sound except for the wind. 

[Baobao...are you sure this is guarded by the four divine beasts?]

{Of course! Although Baobao has no physical brain, Baobao's knowledge is 100% accurate unless there is predicting to do.} 

[Then where are the magical beasts?! The dragons?! The impressive temples and castles?! The hell to this grassland! There is not even an ant in sight! Where are the impressive masters that suddenly appears out of nowhere?! Dammit, I knew information from books isn't reliable! To hell with this painting!!!]

{Ah Ying, calm down. There must be a reason you are here, so let's just wait patiently.}

[To hell with patience! Last time, I listen to you and waited for one hour! One hour!!! Do you know what I can do in that amount of time?! I can read, eat and bully someone at the same time!!!]

{...bully?}

[Ahem! I mean tease. Anyways, tell me what is so special about this grassland and where are the four divine beasts?]

{Based on Baobao's observation, the scene you see is a level 2 illusion spell.}

[Why the hell didn't you tell me before?!]

{Baobao did! Baobao did! But Ah Ying isn't listening! Baobao is wronged! Ah Ying is bullying Baobao. *sobs*}

[...]

{Baobao is ignoring you from now on! Ah Ying is such a big bully! Originally, Baobao thought that Baobao had found his Golden thigh but never did Baobao know that host is such a bully! *sniff*}

[Baobao…]

{Humph! Don't talk to Baobao, Baobao is very angry!}

[Baobao~Baobao~ I know I'm wrong so forgive me alright?]

{...Ah Ying, promise to listen to Baobao from now on?}

[Yes, yes, yes]

{Ah Ying will help Baobao promote?}

[Yes, yes, yes]

{Ah Ying knows she needs the invincible Baobao's help and that she is a big bully and an idiot who is quick-tempered?}

[Yes, yes- wait, hold on. I'm not an idiot!]

{But without Baobao, Ah Ying wouldn't survive, yes?}

[...]

{Without Baobao, Ah Ying wouldn't know anything, yes?}

[...]

{Then Ah Ying is a big idiot who likes to bully others.}

[...]

 Xun Ying was speechless. Damn! She was played by a system! But it is true that she needs Baobao, and right now, they should figure a way to break the illusion spell.
