"Tell me, where did you get this information from?" Lin Yu'er's face was contorted, her expression extremely ugly. If Pale wasn't dead, then what had she been doing all this time?

What does her marriage to Cang Lu even mean?

Isn't she just shooting herself in the foot?

Lin Yu'er felt a surge of regret now, remembering how she had felt when she chose to marry Cang Lu and how her older siblings had looked at her with displeasure.

She was too hasty!

But how could she resist the temptation of power?

"Miss, it came from the Cang family. Young Master Cang Lu also gave the news, so I suppose all the major families already know about it."

The maid said cautiously, "I don't know why, but the young lady has become more and more terrifying lately. Many times I've seen her talking to herself, muttering words I can't understand, and she'll occasionally utter the word 'die'."

The young ladies of the past were gentle and intellectual, but the young ladies of today seem to hide a sinister aura beneath their gentleness, making them awe-inspiring.

"Are you telling the truth? He's really not dead?" Lin Yu'er didn't believe it. How could he not be dead?

They've been missing for so long, and not only are they not dead, they've come back?

Wasn't that an SSS-class monster? Didn't they eat it?

So what about this now?

In the past, Lin Yu'er felt she would definitely be happy, since no one but herself could match the handsome, aloof, and reserved Pale.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be called the "golden couple."

Many people believe that they will definitely be together in the future. Although there is no formal marriage, this is already a consensus among many prominent families.

But now, she already has a fiancé, a member of a collateral branch of the Cang family, and Cang Bai has returned at this time...

Lin Yu'er calmed down, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

"Alright, you've tidied up here, now you can go."

Lin Yu'er panicked a little. After thinking for a moment, she called out to the system in her mind.

"077, what should I do now?"

Because it lost its origin and lost a lot of energy in the battle with Longyue, 077 has been quite temperamental since that day. When it heard Lin Yu'er's question, it exploded because it was already in a bad mood.

"What to do, what to do? Don't you have a brain? Can't you think for yourself? You ask this system what to do? How the hell am I supposed to know what to do?"

077 is incredibly annoyed. It was interrupted by some unknown energy and fell into a two-day slumber. Before it could replenish its energy, its host has run into problems.

"Go talk to your grandfather. If that doesn't work, just kill Pale!"

077 is very tired. It needs to find a way to replenish the lost energy. The fastest way is to extract the soul from the host and convert it into energy.

However, it did not want to choose such a method unless absolutely necessary. Once it completely merged with the host, it would never be able to return to Biron Star again and would be a resident of a low-level planet for the rest of its life, instead of a system with an infinite lifespan.

Lin Yu'er was yelled at by the system, and she was so angry that she almost broke her nose.

Finally, because she still needed to rely on the system's power, she not only couldn't refute the system, but also had to agree with it.

"I see."

Lin Yu'er felt extremely aggrieved, and her face became even uglier.

In the end, he could only vent his anger on other people.

After Cang Bai returned home, he followed his parents to the study.

"Xiaobai, how are you? Is anything bothering you?" As soon as she entered the study, Cang's mother's tense heart finally relaxed, but she still asked with concern.

Seeing that Pale had returned safely and unharmed, Pale's mother couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mom, I'm fine," Pale reassured his mother.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. In fact, my strength has also greatly improved."

Looking at the pale-faced man, the father smiled with satisfaction. This was his son, the son he had always been proud of, and naturally the best.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." Father Cang couldn't shed tears like Mother Cang, but his eyes still welled up with tears.

Pale was very sensible from a young age. Pale's father still remembers the scene when he rescued Pale from the enemy. It was a scene he could never forget.

The little one lay there in a pool of blood, neither crying nor making a sound, his face bearing a numb, blank expression.

Then he slept for a whole year. During that time, if his body hadn't been functioning normally, people would have thought he wouldn't wake up.

After all, with such a heavy burden and such a dangerous physical condition, no one would think that a small child could survive it.

During that time, many people came to persuade the couple to have another child and to give up on paleness.

Fortunately, the outcome was good in the end. Heaven was on their side. They did not give up, and Pale woke up.

Pale was very talented and intelligent, and his father was proud of him.

And Cang's mother truly loved her son.

That incident left a deep shadow in her heart, and she would be awakened by nightmares every night when she fell asleep.

This incident truly frightened her. Why didn't so many people eat an SSS-class monster? Why did it specifically target her son?

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm back safe and sound. I won't let anyone bully you."
