Jiang Cheng also won, and the victory was relatively easy.
But after all, they were just ordinary people, unlike Bai Yuan who had the backing of a powerful family, so what they needed most was an opportunity.
And Shi Luoyin was given this opportunity.
Jiang Cheng and Shi Luoyin were in the study, which was the room where Jiang Cheng refined Gu worms. It was filled with specimens of Gu worms he had previously refined, various medicinal herbs, and books.
"Third sister, your Gu worms are amazing!" Jiang Cheng thought of his mother's teachings and scratched the back of his head with a somewhat simple and honest expression.
Shi Luoyin sat down opposite Jiang Cheng. Since she was staying in someone else's house, she might as well do him a favor.
"Take out your Gu worms and let me see them."
Jiang Cheng placed his Gu worm on the table, opened the lid, and inside was a Gu worm that was entirely purple, shaped like a caterpillar, and very fat. Its mouthparts were covered with densely packed sharp teeth, and it was about half the size of a palm.
You can imagine how painful it would be to be bitten.
"This is my Gu worm, Xiao Zi. It has a body of a hundred poisons. If you are bitten by it, you will die within five minutes. The antidote is the fluid secreted by Xiao Zi. I have saved it up."
Jiang Cheng took out another small bottle.
The insect is clearly blackish-purple, but the fluid it secretes is pink.
Logically speaking, this insect should be quite strong.
"You're really strong now."
“No.” Jiang Cheng shook his head: “Besides its strong toxicity, Little Purple is weak in other aspects, such as speed and self-defense.”
Jiang Cheng sighed. It's really hard to do everything perfectly.
The Gu King that Xiao Hong ate was very strong. It was fast and had strong defense. It could even confuse the mind and make the opponent take its own life.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain for Xiaohong.
Shi Luoyin roughly understood. She glanced at Jiang Cheng and then suddenly asked, "Big brother, do you want to be the clan leader?"
"ah?"
Jiang Cheng was somewhat confused; all he knew was how to refine Gu poison!
The system sensed something was wrong: [Host! What kind of trouble are you up to now!]
"Children should stay out of adults' business!"
Shi Luoyin moved closer to Jiang Cheng, whose ears turned red: "As long as you become my slave, I will teach you the strongest Gu technique, make you the successor of the clan chief, and you can lead all the Gu masters in the Miao Plain to my service."
Those dark eyes seemed to be flashing with some kind of light.
The system sighed. He knew that Shi Luoyin hadn't come to Miao Yuandong out of curiosity. She was playing among different races, seemingly having fun, but she was actually collecting slaves.
But who exactly is the opponent in this grand game?
Jiang Cheng looked into those captivating eyes and swallowed hard: "A slave?"
"Hmm, do you want to be one?"
"OK."
When Shi Luoyin thought Jiang Cheng would refuse, he nodded and said directly, "I am willing to be your slave."
"Oh? You agreed so readily, aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy?"
Shi Luoyin, on the contrary, was somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Cheng smiled wryly and looked at the group photo on the wall: "From the time I can remember, my parents' biggest wish has been for me to achieve results in the Gu worm competition, and I have been working hard for that."
“I envy Yuanyuan. She can play without restraint and go wherever she wants. But because of Miaoyuan’s rules, even though I have become a Gu master, I still cannot use it in front of outsiders. So what is the point of it?”
"Therefore, I want to become the clan leader, I want all the children like me to gain freedom, and I also want the whole world to know about the existence of Gu sorcerers."
This was the first time Jiang Cheng had spoken his true thoughts in front of outsiders.
Shi Luoyin looked at the serious Jiang Cheng with a satisfied expression.
"Alright, then you can be my slave~"
Shi Luoyin extended her index finger and pressed it on Jiang Cheng's forehead. A magic circle appeared beneath them, but it was different from the contracts she had made with others before.
Five seconds later, Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is! This is! This is a legendary Gu technique passed down through generations! Master, just who are you?"
Jiang Cheng's title has become "Master of Nature".
It was visibly that Jiang Cheng had lost some weight, his originally simple and honest appearance had changed, and his eyes were clearer.
Shi Luoyin sat back down, crossing her arms: "You don't need to know that. Just use the Gu techniques I gave you to give your little Zi extra training."
"Yes, Master!"
Jiang Cheng nodded heavily. He wanted to try out many of the new methods!
Shi Luoyin calmly walked back to her room and then nestled herself in the bathtub.
What's wrong, host?
The system sensed that something was wrong with Shi Luoyin, and the contract Shi Luoyin gave to Jiang Cheng seemed different as well.
"Tongtong, don't you think the connections between people are sometimes quite mysterious?"
The sudden question left the system somewhat at a loss for words.
How do you say it?
"I remember Jiang Cheng's soul."
【ah??】
This was truly beyond the system's expectations, but it immediately retorted: "That's not right. Every world has reincarnation and rebirth, but they all happen within the same world. You were pulled here from another world by me. Even if we met in a past life, it shouldn't be like this!"
It is impossible for worlds to interact with each other, except for specific individuals.
You can be reborn as an animal or a human in this world, but you cannot go to other worlds.
Shi Luoyin suddenly laughed: "How do you know that I've only lived in one world?"
System freezes: [Wow! Host, you really aren't an ordinary person!]
"...No, I've never pretended in front of you guys."
Shi Luoyin was suddenly speechless. This system seemed to be really useless.
Picking up Xiao Hong, Shi Luoyin felt it looked rather ugly: "Why has all its fur fallen out?"
Now Xiaohong is like a plucked chicken, just as the system said.
However, it has grown considerably larger.
The system grumbled, deciding not to argue with Shi Luoyin: [I told you she was a chicken, but you wouldn't believe me.]
"Shut up, she's a phoenix!"
Jiang Cheng secluded himself for a whole night, and the door to his study was not opened until the next morning, amidst his mother's worry.
Shi Luoyin also came out stretching.
Just as Jiang's mother was about to step forward, she saw her son excitedly walk up to Shi Luoyin: "Master! I've succeeded!"
Jiang's mother, her smile frozen: "..."
Father Jiang, sipping his tea: "???"
Jiang Yuanyuan, while eating a steamed bun, exclaimed, "Holy crap? They're playing this fancy game!"
Shi Luoyin remained calm: "In public, please call me Third Sister."
She didn't mind, but she was afraid it would upset Mr. and Mrs. Jiang.
Jiang Cheng blinked and nodded obediently, "Okay, Third Sister."
