The hosting system, which had been eloquently and vividly recounting the villain's descent into darkness, was immediately alarmed when it saw Bi Xie calmly finish a bunch of grapes. "Host! You actually have the nerve to eat grapes? Don't you feel sorry for the villain? Waaah~"

Bi Xie spat out the grape skins, ignoring the little system's whimpering, and asked calmly, "Xianyin Peak, why does that name sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."

"Hmph! I won't tell you, host, figure it out yourself!"

Sizzle, signal interrupted.

Bi Xie blinked. Holy crap, this system is so capricious? She hadn't even finished asking her question!

Besides, she didn't say she didn't feel sorry for the villain. She just felt that the villain's dark past was something she didn't experience, so feeling sorry for her wouldn't help. Moreover, sometimes feeling sorry for someone and offering comfort doesn't necessarily have to be expressed through tears...

The best way to comfort someone is not to cry with them, but to quietly stay by their side and offer them a tissue.

Shaking his head, Bi Xie cast a cleansing spell, crossed his hands behind his head, and sighed softly at the long night. The road to resurrection is long and arduous.

"So Master was hiding here." The colorful flower pillar next to him swayed slightly, and a handsome young man wearing a bright red fox fur robe stepped out from it, giving Bi Xie a sweet smile.

Having spent a lot of time with villains, Bi Xie has become able to distinguish whether their smiles are genuine, feigned, or malicious.

With that wicked smile on his face now, I wonder what kind of mischief he's up to?

Bi Xie became secretly wary: "Wu You'er, where did you just go?"

This kid has been acting strangely these past few days.

"Master, Wuyou has prepared a surprise for you," the handsome young man said, his eyes curving like crescent moons, the slightly upturned corners of his eyes sparkling with a hint of allure. He gently tugged at Bi Xie's sleeve. "Master, come with Wuyou."

Bi Xie's heart skipped a beat. As Wu You dragged him along, he called out to the hosting system, "Little system, where is the villain taking me? Hey, stop playing dead! Give me some mental preparation!"

However, Bi Xie's call went unanswered.

Damn it! Bi Xie cried inwardly. The unreliable Ghost Cultivator's Sickness-Slaying Wine, the unreliable broken system!

Just as he was internally complaining, his eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of icy, jade-like hands, and the boy Aokiji's extremely pleasant voice came from beside him, "Master, open your eyes in a while."

Bi Xie's heart pounded a few times. In the darkness, she could only let the boy support her as she walked forward step by step. The unknown made her heart race, and she could only try to calm her panic by speaking, "Wu You'er, where are you taking your teacher? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Hehe," the young man chuckled a few times, his voice alluring and languid, his breath brushing against Bi Xie's ear, "Don't be impatient, you'll know when we get there."

After walking for a short while, the hands covering their eyes were slowly removed.

Bi Xie stared blankly at the green crickets flying all over the sky. He had been catching these green crickets these past few days because of his unpredictable whereabouts.

In the dead of winter, Green Bamboo Worms shouldn't appear, unless in a chaotic land, a demonic abyss where seasons are indistinguishable, where these Green Bamboo Worms might be hiding, but collecting them one by one is extremely difficult.

Bi Xie found it hard to imagine that someone who had no patience even for sleeping and eating would patiently collect these green crickets that only come out at night.

In the pitch-black night sky, the green crickets danced like little lanterns, illuminating a patch of darkness and brightening the boy's expectant eyes. "Master, do you like it?"
