[The main villain is using healing powers to heal his injuries.]
She screamed inwardly, "Wasn't there still 7 minutes left?! How did he recover already?!"
Do you think recovery happens instantly? Recovery is a process and it definitely takes time. He is currently recovering gradually.
Xin Sui: "M, D, I'll fight to the death!"
He reached out and tried to pry open Xuan Tu's mouth.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, Xuan Tu's mouth was like a clam shell, and she couldn't open it even a crack.
She stared at Xuan Tu with a fierce, death-defying gaze, "If you don't open your mouth, believe me, I'll feed you with my mouth!"
Xuan Tu's pupils contracted.
He hadn't encountered anything so shocking in a long time.
Seeing that large patches of new, pink skin had spread from his feet to his chest, if she delayed any longer, he would probably fully recover and then give her a "death package" (a euphemism for a sexual encounter)!
Xin Sui, with a do-or-die spirit, popped the roasted egg into his mouth and leaned in to shove it into Xuan Tu's mouth.
However, just as they were about to meet, her neck fell into a large, bony hand that was excessively thin.
She was immediately slammed against the wall behind the bed with great force, and her back went numb from the impact.
Xuan Tu held her in one hand, and beneath his eyes, which were originally as calm as an icy lake, a fierce aura and murderous intent surged forth.
Xin Sui was being pinched so hard that his tongue was sticking out. He heard the system announce that there were 3 minutes left.
Three minutes...
She rolled her eyes with difficulty, and a tear slid down her cheek.
It fell into Xuan Tu's hands.
He acted as if he had been touched by something dirty, and threw her away.
Xin Sui felt like he had turned into a pancake, with all his internal organs mixed together.
Gritting her teeth, she sat up and rushed to the bedside, grabbing a handful of roasted eggs and stuffing them into Xuan Tu's mouth, her expression so urgent it was almost ferocious.
"Eat it!"
Xuan Tu is still recovering, and his supernatural abilities are recovering first. His body has been damaged and depleted over the past few days, and it will not recover in a short time.
The strength he had gathered out of anger had been completely exhausted in the pinch and flick just now.
So Xin Sui's desperate, all-or-nothing act caught him off guard and left him momentarily speechless.
She succeeded.
Xin Sui covered his mouth, clearly terrified, but still smiled at him and said, "Wasting food isn't good behavior for a child, so hurry up and swallow it all."
Since his mother died, Xuan Tu has been unable to taste food.
Later, as his strength increased, he was able to ensure his body's needs through cultivation, so he stopped eating altogether.
The roasted egg that was forcibly stuffed into his mouth made him instinctively want to spit it out.
However, the baked egg melts in your mouth, fragrant and piping hot, with a hint of saltiness, a long-lost wonderful taste that blooms on the tip of your tongue.
Has his sense of taste returned?
Shocked, he involuntarily swallowed the food.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! The reward—the ability of immortality—has arrived. Keep up the good work, host! I have high hopes for you!]
Xin Sui breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed into Xuan Tu's arms.
However, she soon realized that she had relaxed too soon.
"Awakened the power of immortality, very good."
Xuan Tu's voice rang in her ears, a little hoarse but still sexy and pleasing to the ear, like a lover's murmur.
Xin Sui slowly raised her head and was surprised to find that he was smiling and looked very happy.
It's like the innocent yet cruel smile on a child's face when they pour boiling water on an anthill.
Xin Sui felt a chill run down his spine, as if a carnivorous plant was blooming towards him.
"System, how did he know I awakened the power of immortality?"
She had originally thought that since she had gained the power of immortality, even if Xuan Tu killed her this time, she could still be resurrected!
Although he had to endure inhuman torture before he died.
But how did he manage to see right through her superpower?!
[Among the supernatural abilities plundered from Xuantu, there is one called "Eye of Truth," which can see through other people's supernatural abilities.]
Which unethical author wrote this terrible book? Why give the villain such amazing superpowers?!
Immediately, she thought of something and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
"System, didn't you say before that the trigger condition for Xuantu to plunder other people's abilities is to kill that person?"
[That's right.]
"Didn't you also say that once Xuantu plunders someone else's superpower, he will fall into a period of weakness?"
[Yes. Also, the main villain's plundering ability has a limitation—plundered abilities cannot be upgraded.]
"So even if Xuan Tu wants to kill me, he probably won't do it himself, because that would force him into a period of weakness, which would be detrimental to him as well."
"Moreover, the power of immortality! Tell me, who in this world wouldn't want to possess such a heaven-defying power? Others are one thing, but Xuan Tu has the power of plunder, which means he can plunder my power of immortality."
"But once he takes my powers now, he'll never be able to level up again, so he'll probably keep me around like a pig? Killing me now would obviously be a bad deal."
"So, I shouldn't die for the time being?"
[The host's analysis is correct.]
"But what did he mean by 'very good' just now?"
[Probably, maybe, possibly means he can kill you multiple times. You are 'immortal,' he will kill you using other means, then kill you again after you revive, and so on, until you have no way to die.]
Xin Sui: "..."
One person, one system, communicates through consciousness.
So, although it sounds like a long story, in reality it takes less than a second, just a blink of an eye.
Xin Sui looked at Xuan Tu's face, which seemed so close yet so harmonious with the heavens and man, and was completely taken aback by the system's words.
Damn! She might as well have died in the first place!
Now, after risking his life to complete the mission and obtain the "immortality ability" as a reward, he is instead faced with the prospect of being repeatedly tortured and killed.
"System, I'm not done with you yet!!!"
The system remained completely silent, probably because it felt it was in the wrong.
Xin Sui looked at Xuan Tu, and Xuan Tu looked at her in return.
They're probably thinking about how to deal with her.
Suddenly, as if he had a brilliant idea, he asked her, "Have you ever seen a zombie rat?"
Xin Sui had a feeling that there was a trap in his question, but she still had to bite the bullet and answer, "I've never seen it before."
Thorn City is a small town in the Mango Desert of the Northern District.
Resources are scarce here; even drinking water is a problem.
But precisely because this place is so barren and sparsely populated, zombies and the like won't come here.
"I'll take you to see it." Xuan Tu said this as if he were saying, "I'll take you to see something good."
Xin Sui's heart skipped a beat. Zombie rats? What's so interesting about seeing zombie rats?
You should know that rats are at the top of her list of creatures she fears, not to mention the even more terrifying zombie rats in the apocalypse.
Unfortunately, she didn't even have a chance to say no.
Xuan Tu casually drew a circle in mid-air, and a black hole appeared out of thin air. He picked her up with one hand and stepped into it.
The black hole closed, and the two disappeared from the room.
