Chapter 1
There are birds, flying fish, and various other animal images floating in the sky instead of clouds.
Unlike clouds, their fur, feathers and scales are covered in all imaginable colors. They move slowly along the set trajectory in a colorful manner. After reaching the end, they slowly rise and disappear into the clear yet unchanging blue of the sky.
03 Stare at one of the golden birds with gorgeous feathers until it reaches the end and floats up and disappears without a trace left. Then look away and fly into the mission gate.
Punch in for work.
A torrent of data swirls and surges among the stars. The small data cluster is like a glowing dust in the universe. Each star is like a world, performing its own story on the destined timeline.
03A golden panel appeared in front of him.
[Task screening]
[Task selection successful]
The river of data receded like a tide, and a star flew towards 03, transforming into a giant book. An invisible hand casually turned a page, revealing it to 03. The floating small system spun in a circle, like rain falling into a river, and fell into the book.
[World connection - completed, data input - completed]
[I wish you success in your mission!]
The next second after the golden frame disappeared, 03 skillfully opened his eyes and politely greeted: "Dear host, you——"
good.
03 was stunned in the empty hall.
No one.
It floats amidst the grandeur of the palace, a splendid palace adorned with white jade, ruby tiles, pearl curtains, and gold-trimmed windows. Its brilliance is not superficial, but an elegant elegance passed down through generations.
But to the system, whether it was golden or gray was of no concern. The key question was... where was the host? Why was it floating in such a place? 03 spun in the air in confusion, then opened the task. A pop-up panel displayed the bound host's information.
[Mission: Change the host's original fate (in progress)]
[Host Information
Name: Feng Jue
Gender: Female
Character introduction: The male protagonist's fiancée in "Sword Pointing to the Sky". She broke off the engagement after the male protagonist was injured and became disabled. Later, the male protagonist was reborn by chance and she became a supporting character who got entangled with him again.
Personality: Arrogant, arrogant, and domineering]
"Phoenix Secret." 03 recited, the mechanical voice sounded emotionless, and a question mark appeared above his head.
Only text description and no images?
03 Put away the panel and hover over the hall. In the past, it would refresh on the host every time it arrived at the mission world.
The interaction within the body was activated, but now not only was there no host in the hall, there wasn't even a trace of humanity.
It calmly sent an error report to the main system and was thinking about whether to look for the host when the tightly closed palace door was pushed open from the outside.
The wind from the mountains suddenly came, sweeping through every corner of the hall like a whirlwind, and the breath of the mountains and the sky washed over 03's body.
The silver data ball swirled in the wind, like a tiny star, flickering faintly in a dimension invisible to the human eye. A faint golden hue emerged from the silver depths, flowing like a shimmering golden light before vanishing in the next second.
03 Gazing from afar, I beheld a scene of jewels and jade swaying against the backdrop of green mountains and white clouds, suddenly approaching. The graceful palace maids, each beautifully dressed in light or heavy makeup, entered the hall like flowing silk, standing on either side of the high throne, heads bowed in silent anticipation.
"Feng Jue?" 03 called out the host's name again, and looked at the faces of dozens of women in the hall one by one. After a moment, it lowered its head.
Ah, dizzy.
While it was searching for a host among a group of beautiful palace maids who looked like copy-and-paste, another group of people came into the hall. Leading them was a dejected middle-aged man who kept sighing since he entered the room. The people behind him had different expressions. Some were equally worried, some were indifferent, and some had sarcastic expressions, as if they were looking forward to the show.
03's gaze stayed on the man in the middle. The man was tall and handsome, standing out from the crowd. However, he was pale and looked sick, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. He kept his head down and said nothing since he entered the room.
The middle-aged man in the lead asked where the palace master was and whether the cancellation of the engagement could still be discussed.
Hey!
03 reacted instantly.
The man in the middle is the male lead?
A small light bulb lit up above its head with a "ding" sound, and its working spirit burst out in a second. It quickly created a new character file, scanned the male protagonist's image into the file, and noted the symbol of the key person in the mission.
The palace servants standing in the hall with their hands hanging down were silent, like dumb dummies. Their indifferent attitude clearly annoyed the passerby. The man who entered the hall, with a sarcastic expression that he didn't even try to hide, shouted in dissatisfaction, "I knew that everyone in the Lanyang Palace was so arrogant, and now I see it's true! Even the servants are so arrogant, it's outrageous!"
Another person, who was half a step behind the man, immediately echoed, "That's right. Just because you broke off the engagement, you already don't take us from the Lianshan Sect seriously. Will he ever disregard the friendship we've built over the years?"
"Haha, don't you think you're not taking us seriously now?" The man who spoke first sneered, "I heard that the Palace Master of Lanyang Palace recently achieved a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.
, or a great perfection golden elixir, she is only 25 years old and has such a high level of cultivation, she is already the best of the younger generation, so naturally she can look down on us small fry, but others..."
He deliberately glanced at the male protagonist standing in the middle, and said in a mocking tone: "It was fine when you were the chosen one of heaven and everyone praised you, but now your spiritual roots have been destroyed and your cultivation has been lost, you have become a waste. You still want to continue to marry someone else, don't you see how much you weigh now?"
"How can you be so rude to the young master!" the woman behind the male protagonist said angrily.
The sarcastic man immediately looked at the woman and raised his voice, "What? Was I wrong? Before the young master was deposed, the two of them were quite compatible. Now... it would be better to find another talented person in the sect to marry the palace master!"
He rolled his eyes and said, "As for the young master, he's now a mortal. I think he'll end up marrying a country woman and spending the rest of his life there. I advise you not to bother with him!"
"You've gone too far!" The woman's face flushed with anger at his words, and she looked at the hero anxiously.
However, no matter whether he was deliberately ridiculed or cared for and protected by the woman, the male protagonist just stood there quietly and said nothing, which made the two people who ridiculed him feel a sense of frustration as if they were hitting cotton, and they became angry and embarrassed.
Seeing that they were about to say something, the middle-aged man in the lead sighed heavily and warned, "That's enough! Don't you see where we are? Stop talking nonsense here!"
"Humph!" The man who had first mocked the male protagonist sneered, glancing at him, the anger in his eyes turned into sarcasm again, the corners of his mouth curled coldly, and he sneered in a low voice: "Waste, let's see how you can be so proud in the future!"
"Cough cough." The sick male protagonist lowered his head and coughed lightly, seemingly unaware of the undercurrents around him.
The palace servants in the hall remained indifferent to the noisy crowd, not even paying them a glance.
While listening to their "argument," it logged the appearances of everyone in the palace into its database, not sparing the nearby palace servants, and meticulously categorized them by sect. This task was easy enough for it. After finishing, it had nothing better to do, so it reorganized the backpack it had packed before departure.
There were some popsicles in the bag that were given to me by a new friend. I heard that they were bought with the points my friend earned from running errands for his colleagues, so I was a little hesitant.
Do you want to take a bite?
Feeling like he needed something to chew on right now, 03 stared at the popsicle in deep thought.
The mountain breeze carried a wisp of cloud into the hall. The white mist hit the curtains and dispersed lightly. The bead curtains in the hall collided, and the crisp and pleasant tinkling sound echoed in the empty hall.
An extremely beautiful woman
A woman in a pink dress emerged from behind a pearl curtain, holding a jade tray and smiling before she spoke. The moment she appeared, the waiting palace maids on either side simultaneously bowed, and the noisy crowd fell silent, leaving the hall in a dreadful silence.
He closed his backpack and floated in front of the pink-shirted woman, hesitantly asking, "Phoenix Secret?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the pink-shirted woman smiled, her gaze passing through 03 and falling on the guests. She spoke in a gentle tone, "Excuse me for waiting, everyone. There's something important going on in the palace that delayed us. The Palace Master will be here soon."
The middle-aged man immediately bowed and said respectfully, "No hurry—"
Before the word "urgent" had faded, the wind in the hall suddenly picked up speed, clouds surged, collided, and dispersed, the sound of pearls and jade clashing like a sudden downpour. 03 subconsciously looked up and saw a ball of fire suddenly appear, landing at the end of the jade steps and transforming into a bright red dress, spreading across the long steps.
If I say immediately, it means immediately.
“…”
03I couldn’t help but float upwards.
I don't know when the mountain wind stopped. Under the flaming red, the woman with golden hairpins and phoenix crown raised her eyes, her eyes were full of fire, and she looked at me indifferently.
At this moment, all the beauties in the palace were bowed down to her, and the bright red makeup could not compare to the red ornament on her forehead.
03Suddenly I remembered the bird I saw before leaving.
The main system uses data collected from various worlds to create various animals to embellish the sky where the systems live. However, no matter how exquisite the virtual images are, they are not as vivid as living life.
The host must be this human!
03The silver-white body overflowed with a little gold, flew upwards, stopped in front of the woman, carefully scanned the woman's face, and placed it on the first page of the file.
[Phoenix Secret]
After marking the name, 03 landed on the host's shoulder with satisfaction, intending to greet the host later.
The youngest Palace Master in the history of Lanyang Palace sat down, with her bare fingers supporting her face, her red lips curled up, and her voice was casual, unruly, and her low and lazy voice fell into the ears of everyone and a general.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."
The host's voice is very nice.
Small lightning flashed across the surface of the silvery-white data ball, crackling and tingling. It opened the host information list and read the few words again.
He has outstanding looks, a nice voice, and is the lord of a city. This time, the host has very good conditions in all aspects.
After Feng Jue appeared, everyone whose eyes swept over her, except the male protagonist, lowered their heads and did not dare to look her in the eye.
03 Hearing the host's undisguised sneer, it turned its head and looked at the host's beautiful profile with an indifferent expression, not taking these people seriously at all.
Feng Jue said lazily: "Xue Bufan, the last time we met, Lianshan Sect sent five elders to accompany us. This time——"
Her eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the front and she laughed sarcastically.
"There's not even one person who can see it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently raised her hand from the hem of her skirt, and a fierce gust of wind instantly hit the guests in the hall. Amid screams, everyone was blown back by the wind. If the man named by Feng Jue had not been caught by the woman beside him, he would have been swept out of the hall. As a result, his face became even paler, and a little red flowed around his lips.
"Master!" the woman said in panic.
"It's okay, cough, I'm fine." Xue Bufan said intermittently while coughing, and slowly straightened his shoulders. The middle-aged man standing in front of Xue Bufan put down his hand that was blocking the wind and asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this, Palace Master!"
Feng Jue ignored him, looked at Xue Bufan, and said with a smile: "The eldest young master of Lianshan Sect has fallen to such a state, tsk."
03 Control the urge to take out the popsicle and look at the male lead.
The male protagonist, who seemed unable to withstand the gust of wind, bent over and coughed, and the handkerchief covering his mouth was stained red, but no one cared except the woman next to him.
"Ahem, ahem, Palace Master... you're absolutely right." Xue Bufan said, lowering his hand and putting the bloodstained handkerchief into his sleeve. He responded to Feng Jue's comments expressionlessly. After Feng Jue raised an eyebrow, he continued, "If I hadn't fallen on hard times, why would I bother the Palace Master to cancel the engagement?"
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The expressions of the people from Lianshan Sect were very interesting.
03 Turn around and look at Feng Jue.
Looking closer, Feng Jue's appearance was even more shocking. 03 couldn't help but float closer and stopped at the tip of Feng Jue's nose.
The host's smile was full of sarcasm from the beginning to the end, and now it was even deeper, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
"Bufan, how can you speak to the Palace Master like that!" The middle-aged man reacted and shouted.
Xue Bufan had no expression on his face, and Feng Jue-03 floated to Feng Jue's forehead and stopped close to the flaming flower ornaments so as not to "block" the host's sight.
Feng Jue had a hint of sarcasm on his lips as he stood up leisurely with an arrogant tone.
"Since you know that a marriage between us is no longer possible, why did you come all the way here? Do you want to question this palace master? Or..." She paused, her voice a little cold, "The Lianshan Sect wants to take advantage of Lanyang Palace's cancellation of the engagement and ask for some benefits?"
Xue Bufan fell silent again. The middle-aged man standing in front of him took two steps forward and said anxiously, "We have no such intention. We just want to avoid damaging the relationship even if the marriage between the two sects fails. Even if Bufan's cultivation is completely ruined, Lianshan Sect still has other outstanding talents.
..."
The middle-aged man's words stopped as Feng Jue laughed.
She was a truly stunning beauty, yet when she smiled, she looked like a riot of flowers blooming amidst a sea of blazing flames. The data cluster of 03 began to crackle again, floating directly above Feng Jue's head.
"A talented and outstanding person." She chewed on these four words and looked at the several young men behind the middle-aged man, suppressing the disdain in her eyes. "I am the Palace Master of Lanyang Palace. In this life, I will only marry strong men and not useless people! Xue Bufan, before your spiritual roots were destroyed, you were a good match for me, but now you have become a mortal, and you will only live for a hundred years. There is no possibility for us to be together anymore."
Amidst the splendor and magnificence, Feng Jue's skirt ignited the white jade steps like fire. Her eyes grew colder, and her raised fingertips were whiter than snow.
Pearl curtains rolled on both sides, and servants carrying large and small boxes poured in, filling the palace with jewels and precious stones, shining brightly.
Also according to the system.
The starting point is quite high. 03 I sigh again.
"Although the engagement has been called off, I will give these to you as an apology for our friendship. I hope you will take good care of yourself in the future."
As Feng Jue finished speaking, the pink-dressed woman who had been waiting at the bottom of the stairs waved her hand, and the apologies from all over the hall were put into the storage ring. Everyone from the Lianshan Sect stared at the ring in the woman's hand with envy.
The pink-shirted woman handed the ring to Xue Bufan with a smile and said, "Master Xue, please."
Xue Bufan lowered his eyes, staring at the jade ring on the tray. He coughed twice and whispered, "Back then, I was seriously injured but still had a glimmer of hope. My father came to Lanyang City to ask the Palace Master for Phoenix Fire, but the Palace Master flatly refused. Today, I am a cripple, and the engagement is over. But the Palace Master was so ruthless that day..."
A trace of resentment appeared on his face. He looked up and asked Feng Jue, "I am in such a state today. If the Palace Master were to fall into the same situation one day, what would you do?"
In the high seat, the expression on Feng Jue's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes were filled with indifference.
"The Dao is ruthless, life and death are determined by fate. If I were you..." Feng Jue held his chin with his hand and pondered, then suddenly smiled, "I would-"
"Take care of yourself?"
The four words "lazy" are full of mockery.
“…” Xue Bufan flicked his sleeves and turned away without saying a word.
03, who was nestled on Feng Jue's head, looked at the backs of the Lianshan Sect members as they left angrily, and turned around calmly.
No, the host will not fall into poverty.
Because of it.
03.
