night.
Provincial Government Guest Room
The rain continued, and raindrops pattered on the loquat tree outside the house, while raindrops beat against the roof tiles, making a pitter-patter sound.
Di Beiyao lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind wandering to beyond the horizon.
"Beep—Given the host's good progress in the mission, this system has decided to give you a reward. Congratulations, host, you have gained the ability to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning."
Di Beiyao raised an eyebrow speechlessly. Was the system malfunctioning?
"This system isn't malfunctioning, host, please watch your words!" The mechanical voice, unusually, carried a hint of embarrassment and anger.
Di Beiyao put his hands behind his head, his expression playful, and teased.
"How could someone who hasn't gone mad claim to have bestowed upon me the superpower to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning? Who do you think you are, some kind of deity?"
"They're just like that...! Hmph, why don't you try it yourself and see!"
Oops, I almost blurted it out! Thank goodness!
Although Di Beiyao was somewhat skeptical of what the system said, the thought that even a soul that had been dead for a thousand years could be resurrected piqued his interest.
I didn't pay much attention to the first half of the system's sentence, but got up and asked curiously.
How do we test it?
"It's simple. Go to the window, look at the sky, think about the rain stopping, and say 'stop' again. The rain will naturally stop."
Di Beiyao, in high spirits, got up, put on his shoes and socks, and went to the window.
Looking up at the sky filled with lightning, thunder, and incessant rain, the Empress parted her exquisitely beautiful red lips slightly.
"stop."
As the words faded, the previously thunderous sky suddenly quieted down, and the dense raindrops, each the size of a soybean, visibly decreased in number.
The rain gradually lessened over time until it finally disappeared.
A rare look of astonishment appeared on Di Beiyao's exquisitely beautiful face, and his obsidian-black eyes widened slightly.
The system's mechanical voice carried an obvious sense of pride.
"So, do you still think this system is crazy? Isn't it amazing? Aren't you stunned?"
"Don't you want to be incredibly grateful to this system for giving you this awesome superpower?"
"Are you sure this ability was a gift from you?" Di Beiyao's exquisite face no longer showed surprise, but rather an extremely complex expression; his heart was in turmoil.
For some reason, when she was using her supernatural ability just now, watching the rain in the sky change in an instant, she felt a strange, long-lost sense of familiarity.
It seemed she had done this kind of thing a thousand times before, but she just couldn't remember it.
When did she do that? It shouldn't be like that. She remembers everything from the past thousand years; she has never possessed this supernatural ability to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
But where does that lingering sense of familiarity in my heart come from?
Upon hearing Di Beiyao's question, the system was stunned, and only recovered after a moment of silence.
"Of course..." the system replied immediately, seemingly emphasizing its tone for fear that Di Beiyao might not believe it.
But no matter how Di Beiyao listened, he could tell that the system sounded a little guilty.
Turning around, he leaned against the window, arms crossed, his phoenix eyes half-closed, his tone carrying a hint of danger.
Are you sure?
"I, I, I'm sure. Alright, now that the reward has been given and you know how to use it, this system has fulfilled its responsibility. Goodbye!"
After he finished speaking, the huge display screen disappeared from Di Beiyao's mind without a trace.
Di Beiyao turned to look at the sky, a dangerous smile playing at the corners of his lips.

Really? Why does she seem a little skeptical?
