Hearing Xuan's words, Meng Yuqing hurriedly asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Xuan hugged Meng Yuqing and rested his chin on his shoulder and whispered, "There is a power in my body, like the devil's temptation you said, tempting me to use it and possess it."
He was afraid that he would be controlled by power.
Meng Yuqing gently stroked his back and asked, "When did it happen?"
"From the moment the shell started." Xuan said.
"System?" Meng Yuqing called out the system in his mind.
However, the system seemed to have disappeared, with no response.
Meng Yuqing took a deep breath and asked Xuan, "Have you used it yet?"
Xuan buried his head in Meng Yuqing's neck and said, "No, but I have thought about possessing this power."
"It's okay," Meng Yuqing said half-jokingly. "Everyone has weird thoughts, but as long as you can control them, it's fine. Maybe this is a test of some kind? In the world of immortal cultivation, it's called overcoming the tribulation. Once you overcome it, you will ascend."
He nudged Xuan, then looked into his eyes and said with a smile, "You must overcome the tribulation well. We and the entire Qingshan City are waiting for you to achieve enlightenment and everyone in the family will rise to heaven."
mysterious:"……"
He understood the meaning and had seen it in a book, but for some reason he always felt that it was not a good word. It seemed like a blessing but also like an insult.
"Look, we haven't even officially landed on the island yet, and you've already discovered this. You must be mentally prepared." Meng Yuqing pointed toward the sky and continued, "Speaking of which, He's quite humanitarian. He even let you practice in advance. That's quite kind of you."
mysterious:"……"
For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became less heavy and serious, and even the psychological pressure was much less.
"Pack up and go to the island." Xuan said.
It is almost winter now, and Meng Yuqing has already put on thick clothes.
The two of them stuffed all the things into the space. Xuan changed into a beast form again, carrying Meng Yuqing and jumped into the sea, swimming towards the island in the milky white mist.
After arriving on the island, Meng Yuqing instantly felt refreshed. He swore that he had never felt so comfortable in his life.
The scenery on the island is extremely dreamy and beautiful. When you look up, you can see the sea water suspended in the air. From time to time, huge and beautiful beasts swim across the sky and the seabed.
However, such a large sea in the sky does not affect the sunlight falling on the island at all.
Even because of the refraction through the water, circles of light and rainbows are formed on the ground.
Everything here is so huge that even Xuan, who has turned into a beast, looks extremely small here.
Xuan took Meng Yuqing and walked aimlessly on the island. They didn't know where they should go. The system could not be contacted, so the two could only grope their way around.
The two stopped only when it gradually darkened.
The sky sea was still suspended in the sky, but as the sky darkened, the stars on the seabed twinkled.
"It's the plants inside." Meng Yuqing said, "Even though there is no land in the Sky Sea, these plants are still growing there."
"Look around us," Xuan said.
Meng Yuqing shifted his gaze from the sky and sea to their surroundings.
"These flowers, plants and trees are also glowing." Meng Yuqing said in surprise.
Like twinkling lights, when the breeze blows, these glowing flowers and plants spread out like dandelions and float in the air.
dream……
"Let's find a place to spend the night and then continue looking tomorrow?" Xuan said, looking around.
"Okay." Meng Yuqing was still staring blankly at the scenery. This was probably something you could only see in a dream.
The island was very quiet, as if there were no other people or beasts except the two of them.
However, Xuan still didn't dare to let his guard down. The two of them didn't even pitch a tent. Meng Yuqing buried himself in Xuan Rouran's abdomen and closed his eyes.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, the system finally came online and said hurriedly, "Host, the center of the island."
"System?" Meng Yuqing suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What then? What else do we need to do?"
"Let's go to the center of the island first," it said mysteriously. "I can't give you any spoilers, but you'll know once you get there."
"Shall we go there now?" Meng Yuqing sat up with a somersault and asked hurriedly.
"Well... there's no need to be so anxious. It will be the same if we go there tomorrow. This island is not big." said the system.
Hearing the system say this, Meng Yuqing lay back down, turned over and touched Xuan's soft belly, and said to the system, "Okay, I understand. Can't you talk to us casually now?"
"Hmm..." The system's voice was a little awkward. "I've said too much. He's afraid I'll blurt it all out."
"Oh, is that so? I was worried that you would be taken back?" Meng Yuqing said in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter if I'm taken back. The system's functions are still there and are given to you. And if everything goes well, there will be no need for me to say anything in the future. I won't bother you anymore." The system replied.
Meng Yuqing hummed softly, then said, "It's not noisy, it's nice to have someone to talk to."
The system's energy fluctuated greatly for a moment, but soon subsided. It said, "Host, remember to go to the center of the island tomorrow. Once there, have Xuan unseal the stone slabs and piece them together. Finally, place the pearl in the position of the sun."
"Then...it's up to him."
After saying this, the system disappeared again and no matter what Meng Yuqing said, it never appeared again.
He frowned and tossed and turned on Xuan's stomach. Xuan had been watching him since he suddenly sat up and lay down again. Seeing his anxious look, he patted his back with his tail and asked, "Did the system just appear?"
"Yeah." Meng Yuqing responded, paused, and then continued, "It told us to go to the center of the island to remove the seal on the stone slab. It also said it was almost over."
He pulled the fur on Xuan's belly and spoke again after a long while, "I don't know if it will come back again."
Xuan gently touched Meng Yuqing with his big claws. He knew that when Meng Yuqing said whether it would come back, he was referring to the system itself, not the functions brought by the system.
He is the only person in the world besides Meng Yuqing who knows about the existence of the system. Although he cannot see the system or hear it speak, he can infer how Meng Yuqing gets along with it from his various reactions.
The two of them would argue with each other, and the system would sometimes make Meng Yuqing angry, and then Meng Yuqing would come and complain to him. Meng Yuqing would also bully the system from time to time, and he would show a smug expression after successfully bullying the system.
He didn't just see it as a tool.
