"Shang Yanting!"

Seeing how frightened he was, Jia Xitong quickly asked Niu Chuanchuan to carry him home.

As a result of her punishment, Shang Yanting fell ill.

The doctor said it was caused by worry, grief, fear, and emotional distress.

Not only that, but because of his recklessness these past few days, his cultivation level, which was originally at the mid-stage of Martial King, has been downgraded to the early stage of Martial King.

As for herself...

His spiritual energy had become much more abundant, and Shang Yanting managed to raise his strength from the mid-stage of Martial Spirit to the peak of Martial Spirit in just a few days.

"Dear host, you're finally awake!"

Jia Xitong's heart finally settled as she watched Shang Yanting slowly regain consciousness. She pressed herself against Shang Yanting's chest and said, "You scared me to death!"

"You scared me too!"

Shang Yanting hugged the raccoon tightly. He couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to her.

He hugged her very tightly.

Jia Xitong also gripped his clothes tightly.

One person and one beast

They supported each other step by step, and no one could get in between them.

Niu Chuanchuan, who was standing at the door, silently walked away.

After a while, Jia Xitong suddenly asked, "Dear host, are you crying?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shang Yanting's tone remained as calm and composed as ever.

"But the hair on my head is a little wet."

After she finished speaking, Shang Yanting wiped the raccoon's head with a handkerchief. "There's nothing there. That's just your imagination."

Jia Xitong: ...

You can call it an illusion if you want; she doesn't argue with patients about who's right or wrong.

"Here, drink your medicine."

Jia Xitong took out the medicine that Niu Chuanchuan had placed on the table and held it in front of him. After he finished drinking it, she gave him a sweet piece of candy.

She truly hadn't expected that Shang Yanting would care about her so much.

The feeling of having her efforts reciprocated made her feel both heartache and a little happy.

"My dear host..."

She was about to say something more when Shang Yanting suddenly lifted her up and made her stand at attention.

"What is the system administrator?"

What task does it require you to complete?

"Where is it now?!"

These questions had been weighing on his mind for a long time, and now he was ready to confront them!

“The system manager is… just like the human manager, he is in charge of our system,” Jia Xitong explained to him.

"So you're not the only one in the system?"

"Um……"

She's just a fake system, how would she know how many systems there are?

What task does it require you to complete?

Jia Xitong twisted around on the quilt a couple of times, "Well..."

"Not going to talk?"

Shang Yanting's face turned cold.

"It is a task to cultivate your fine character."

For some reason, Jia Xitong felt inexplicably suppressed.

She said quickly, "Didn't we say when we first met that my mission is to make you the most exalted god in the entire Aotian Continent!"

Furthermore, I must state that I have always considered my host to be a very nice person.

"So, to you I'm just a task?"

Um?

It seems like we haven't grasped the key point.

"Of course not! How could it just be a mission? You're my precious treasure!"

"Liang Baoyu's kind of treasure?"

"The kind of treasure that's precious!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting's lips curled up slightly, and his previous aloof and icy demeanor instantly crumbled.

"cough."

He coughed lightly. "Where is the steward?"

"I can't get the manager out of my head."

Jia Xitong pointed to her bright forehead, indicating that it was inside, "just like the two of us."

"You two are so close?!"

The veins on the back of Shang Yanting's hand were slightly visible, and his tone could not hide the fluctuations in his emotions.

"Just like our relationship before you jumped off the cliff, it was still a bit lacking."

It wasn't very good either.

Seeing his overreaction, Jia Xitong said, "Are you jealous? Please, we're the best of friends in the world!"

Hearing her answer, Shang Yanting was quite satisfied.

"Pay less attention to that system manager in the future. Although he has many methods, the cost is too high. You don't need to use him; I can fulfill your wish."

"Uh-huh."

Jia Xitong nodded, "How can it compare to you!"

"Also, is your name 'System'? What about your real name?"

"I can't keep calling you System, can I?"

"Isn't 'system' a collective term for your entire race?"

Shang Yanting's eyes were sharp and piercing.

Obviously

He had come to understand the system as a mysterious species. Something like a monster, yet not quite. Since it was simply a species name, it must have its own specific name.

—From the local indigenous people's unique understanding of the system.

So what is her name?

Jia Xitong

The pronunciation is very similar to the fake system

Wouldn't saying this expose us?

"Host, you can call me Gigi Kashatong!"

Jia Xitong recalled her stage name, "Tong is the 'Tong' in 'wood'."

“...From now on, I will call you Tongbao.”

Shang Yanting recalled this extremely intimate form of address, and then asked in return, "What will you call me from now on?"

"Ting, Ting Bao?"

It seemed normal for Mingming and Liang Baoyu to call out to each other like that, but suddenly calling out to Shang Yanting like that... ugh...

Jia Xitong felt something was off, and even considered using her claws to dig out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

"What about Liang Baoyu?"

Shang Yanting persisted relentlessly.

"Liang Baoyu...Little Liang?"

What should he call you?

"Bucket, bucket."

Looking at Shang Yanting, who had been agonizing over his name for so long, Jia Xitong felt that he was becoming more and more concerned about these material things.
