Chapter 502 Enhanced Plus Version
"Hey, don't get excited." Emperor Ren De waved his hand. "That was an accident. At that time, I didn't know that binding the system would cause a lightning strike."
Hearing this, Chu Liuzheng looked at him suspiciously: "I entered the palace at the age of twelve, but I have never seen you before. Why did you give me the system?"
Considering that she couldn't even open another bottle in her previous life and had to sell her luck to pay taxes for her family after her rebirth, how could such a good thing as a pie in the sky fall into her head?
It’s indeed a conspiracy!
"It was also an accident." Emperor Ren De said there was no conspiracy. "I prepared the system for Xiao Qi."
???
Chu Liuzheng: "What do you mean? I stole the tyrant's... no, the emperor's system?"
"It was the system that chose you." Emperor Ren De felt depressed when he mentioned this. He risked his life to get this good thing for his own child, but in the end, it was bought by an outsider.
Uh... now I'm not an outsider anymore.
He said: "Your soul fluctuations are more compatible with the system."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[What about fitting in with the gossip system? Am I that gossipy? ]
She got the system shortly after she was transferred to the Changchun Palace Library.
It was a sunny day, with a clear blue sky without a single cloud. The queen invited the emperor over, hoping that he would find a good marriage for her niece.
In the library, Chu Liuzheng finished his work and took a break from his busy schedule to lean against the second-floor window to read a travelogue. He wanted to wait for the emperor to come out and peek out to see if he looked like a god descending from heaven as the rumors said.
There was only a loud shout: "Move to Wenhua Hall!"
She immediately put down the book, carefully climbed up through the window, and looked down with her eyes exposed.
In the sunlight, the young man in a black robe was tall, thin, and had very fair skin. His appearance could not be seen clearly due to the angle, but he had a full forehead, a straight nose, and a three-dimensional outline. Judging from his bone structure alone, he was handsome.
Chu Liuzheng was just about to change his position to see if he could see the emperor's full face when suddenly, a loud thunder sounded in the sky and dark clouds rushed in, instantly covering the sky and the sun.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, blue-purple arcs of electricity tore through the sky like dragons, and heavy rain poured down.
Chu Liuzheng no longer cared about looking at the emperor and hurried to close the wide-open window. What if rain came in and soaked some valuables? She wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if she sold them!
The heavy rain came too suddenly, and the thunder and lightning were so powerful that they blocked the emperor's progress.
"boom!"
Another thunderclap roared, and an arc of lightning tore through the sky, striking the roof of the library. A piece of the stone Pixiu fell off, narrowly missing the emperor and his entourage as they passed by.
Everyone subconsciously looked up, and saw another flash of lightning piercing through the rain like a sharp arrow, turning strangely in the air, and shooting towards the white jade hand resting on the window sash.
The owner of the hand fainted instantly due to the severe pain.
It was two days later when he woke up. Everyone said that Chu Liuzheng was very lucky as he was not burnt or bruised after being struck by lightning and he was able to wake up in one piece.
Chu Liuzheng also felt that she was very lucky. Not only was she not killed by lightning, but she also got a melon-eating system with countless melons of all sizes on it. She no longer had to worry about not being able to eat any melons.
At that time, she just thought that God had struck the wrong person with lightning, and the system was God's compensation to her out of conscience. She didn't expect that everything was caused by the sphinx in front of her.
She stared at the sphinx and asked, "Are you telling me this because you want me to return the system to the emperor?"
Emperor Ren De waved his hand. "That's not the case. Since the system has chosen you, it cannot be changed. Besides, it's because of you that the system has changed, and I've gained some benefits as well."
Chu Liuzheng: ???
She asked bluntly, "Could you please explain it more clearly?"
"The system I chose for Xiao Qi allows people to see some things that have already happened in their dreams, mostly fragments. It's not like what you have now, where you can not only check it at any time, but also see the gossip of the whole world effortlessly." Emperor Ren De sighed, looking at Chu Liuzheng with a meaningful look.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[What I'm saying is that the system this person installed for his son was a basic version with many limitations, but after binding it to me, it mutated and upgraded to the enhanced plus version.]
Emperor Ren De: "You can understand it that way."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
She forgot that the sphinx could hear her.
"Listen to my understanding, is it correct?" Chu Liuzheng changed his bent-legged posture and said, "After your death, you learned from somewhere that Shengguo would face national destruction during your Jingfan's generation. So, you devised a system for your Jingfan. You wanted to use dream fragments to remind him of things he'd been deceived by his subordinates, or of past evil deeds, to alert him and send people to investigate, so as to eliminate the root of the evil and maintain peace in Shengguo."
Emperor Ren De nodded: "That's roughly it."
"Then you..." Chu Liuzheng raised his hand and pointed at the sphinx in front of him, "It shouldn't be that you don't have enough points to buy the skin, right?"
"Smart girl." Emperor Ren De gave her a look that showed he knew everything but refused to say anything. A magical tool like the system was not something that could be obtained so easily. Naturally, there would be some price to pay.
He sighed softly, "I originally thought that it was God's will that could not be violated. The system falling on you meant that Dasheng's luck had come to an end. I didn't expect you to do so well..."
"Hey, you can praise me later." Chu Liuzheng pointed at himself, "First, tell me, what have I done?"
Emperor Ren De looked at her and said, "Girl, you should be humble."
Chu Liuzheng: "...I don't want to hear you praise me. Apart from using the system to eat melons for fun, I really didn't interfere with anything."
Emperor Ren De didn't believe it and began to list everything Chu Liuzheng had done, such as saving the eldest princess, destroying Xixia's conspiracy, capturing Yin Lanci, etc. He simply turned the entire situation around with his own strength.
Chu Liuzheng waved his hands quickly, it really wasn’t her who did it!
She is just a bystander who is here for fun, how could she have that ability?
Seeing that she looked serious and didn't seem to be pretending, Emperor Ren De frowned, and a colorful vortex suddenly appeared at the tip of his tail, sucking his tail in.
"Hey!" Chu Liuzheng pointed at his tail and warned, "Swallow it."
"It's okay." Emperor Ren De closed his eyes, and a colorful halo appeared around him, a bit like the vortex of light he came out of.
Chu Liuzheng felt dizzy, as if she were seeing a sea of zeros and ones, like she was in a sci-fi movie. She quickly closed her eyes, forming a preliminary guess about the sphinx before her, waiting to be confirmed.
The halo dissipated, Emperor Ren De opened his eyes, and looked at Chu Liuzheng with an extremely complicated look.
Chu Liuzheng: ???
Emperor Ren De: "It really has nothing to do with you."
"Yeah, I said I didn't do anything." Chu Liuzheng exhaled and looked at him curiously, "You shouldn't be human now, right?"
Emperor Ren De nodded.
"Then you..." Chu Liuzheng was about to ask something else when the ground he was sitting on suddenly began to shake. The vortex of flowing light appeared again and sucked half of Emperor Ren De in in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Ren De only had time to wave his claws at Chu Liuzheng before he could even say a word before he was sucked in.
