Chapter 24
Admitting that it has emotions and feeling sad about it doesn't seem to change anything.
03 Floating behind Feng Jue, looking at her back.
Feng Jue occasionally glanced back, but couldn't help but sigh and stop. The terrain here was flat. A tree with intricate petals was in full bloom, brimming with purple blossoms. Illuminated by the moonlight, tiny firefly-like lights fell from its branches.
They stood alone beneath the tree, as if embraced by a dense bush of flowers. Feng Jue raised his hand, plucked a flower, and placed it in his hair. As he did so, his eyes flickered to 03.
"How long will you be gloomy?" she asked. "From what you said, 02 has been dead for a long time. Even if you're sad, it's been so long now that you should have let it go, right?"
A tearful expression floated out of the dim 03 bubble, and he couldn't help but say: "Host, your words sound a bit cruel."
Feng Jue's lips curled up into a gentle smile, which was more beautiful than the flower she had just worn.
"Remove some of them so that you know that I am born cold-hearted and heartless." Her tone did not hide her true feelings at all, but rather sounded a little proud and complacent.
03 I don’t understand how a heartless person can have such a bright and burning flame.
"The host is very good to me." it said.
Even though it came to him without any reason and couldn't provide much help, Feng Jue still chose to accept it, and - 03's eyes fell on the storage ring on Feng Jue's hand.
Feng Jue ignored 03's gaze and took out a magic tool and threw it under the flower tree.
The magic weapon fell to the ground and grew larger, transforming into a small house, as beautiful as if carved from jade. Feng Jue walked in after releasing the barrier. The room was fully equipped with a bed, a table and cabinets, and there was a fresh green bamboo in the vase in the corner.
Feng Jue glanced at the green bamboo, then looked through the window at the drooping branches of the flower tree. He stood with his hands on his hips and looked at it for a while, then curled his lips slightly. Seeing that 03 was still trying to ask more questions, he said impatiently, "Who told you that you are not a human being? And you are loyal to this palace master. So what if I treat you well?"
"You can't touch or get hold of these good things, so in the end, they'll just be given away to me for nothing. If you continue like this, my love for you will only grow. That's it, you don't need to sleep, but go outside and guard the door for me. If you see anyone or a demonic beast passing by, alert me."
OK
03 cheered up and accepted the new task, then floated outside and waited on the roof.
The sky and the earth are vast and the silver-white sky on the roof is only as big as the leaves. I look up at the swaying flowers and the stars farther away.
"It looks good." said 03.
After being awakened by Feng Jue, it understood.
Those days of quietly gazing at the mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars are not the system's indifference to the outside world.
Yes, I like it.
It likes to see these.
A cool breeze blew over, and 03's eyes in the bubble narrowed comfortably into a line. Thinking of Feng Jue's expression when he was staring at the branches outside the window, 03 suddenly flew to a branch, stretched out a slender matchstick, and chopped at the branch.
The matchstick passed through the branches, causing 0 damage, and 03 silently nestled among the lush purple flowers, pretending to bloom on the branches.
As a leader with public morality, one cannot pluck flowers and weeds at will. 03 Patch yourself and also patch the Phoenix Technique.
But the host is a human being, not a ruler, so he can pick flowers and wear them.
The non-human Tong was very satisfied with the patch, wrote down his final mood of the day in his diary, and stayed up all night.
The Chongshan Secret Realm is very large. In the half month since 03 and Feng Jue entered the secret realm, they only saw Xue Bufan at the beginning, but they experienced several fierce battles - there was suspicion that Feng Jue was unilaterally looking for trouble. The schedule was very full, the harvest was very rich, the movies were very good, and there was no need to buy tickets at all - this was from 03's work log, who could only stare at the side every time Feng Jue fought.
It had just finished its last sentence when Feng Jue in front of it shook off the blood on his sword, his expression grim.
03 quickly floated over: "What's wrong?"
He looks like he's in a bad mood.
Feng Jue had just cut open a demon python and taken out its beast core, but Palace Master Feng obviously didn't like doing this kind of thing, and her actions were reckless, causing the scene to be as "exquisite" as a splash-ink painting. Even her clothes and face were splashed with blood from the first sword strike.
"If it weren't for this beast pill, I would have burned you to ashes!" Feng Jue said viciously as he stepped on the python with blood on his face.
03 circled Feng Jue twice, stopped in front of her, and encouraged her: "But you still look very beautiful like this!"
"Heroic, graceful, and charming..." 03 secretly opened the small electronic dictionary and started to flatter.
"Really?" Feng Jue stared at it suspiciously.
03 nodded heavily, and even took out a panel to immediately draw a portrait of Feng Jue, which was generated in an instant.
In the enlarged panel, Feng Jue stood on top of the dead giant python's head, which was two people wide and a hundred meters long, holding a sword. The wind lifted her hair on her forehead, revealing the golden flower ornaments on her forehead. Because it was a profile, only some of her bold lines could be seen, but it made people unable to help but get into the portrait and see her front with their own eyes.
The snake blood splashed on her face was like plum blossoms, contrasting with her sharp and determined eyebrows, and the messy bloodstains stained her golden dress.
Like a burning flame.
——03 couldn’t help but deepen the host’s brightness to prove that she was the only protagonist in this painting!
"It's actually like this." Feng Jue looked at the portrait 03 drew for her in surprise and nodded with satisfaction. If that was the case, the bloody smell could be tolerated.
He held up the portrait and flew around Feng Jue, then began to recite a poem: "As vast as the wind in the sky, yet I don't know where I will stop; as light as if I am isolated from the world, and ascending to heaven."
Phoenix Technique: "..."
Amidst its endless praise, Feng Jue's displeasure slowly dissipated, his shoulders relaxed, and he sneered, "That's too much."
"Really?" 03 was surprised.
You're still surprised. Feng Jue glared at 03 unhappily, but the power was not as strong as before. It could neither kill Tong nor torture him to death.
03, who hadn't felt any pain from the "Lingchi" torture, felt even more elated. He stored the portrait in a new album, placing it alongside the one he had previously created for Feng Jue. After Feng Jue burned the corpse of the Earth Demon Python dry, he slowly followed her. The magical instrument Feng Jue used to recuperate and rest in the secret realm was not far away.
It was a coincidence that Feng Jue had just cleared out the spiritual beasts nearby and was planning to go into seclusion for two days to regulate his breathing. Unexpectedly, this Earth Demon Python came knocking on his door. Perhaps it found that the big guy who used to be rampant here suddenly disappeared and rushed here to occupy the territory, and was directly defeated by Feng Jue.
Feng Jue relied on his cultivation of the early stage of the Great Perfection Golden Core to dare to confront the spirit beast in the middle stage of the Golden Core head-on, and he didn't even take this Earth Demon Python in the early stage of the Golden Core seriously.
"It's strange to say, since entering the secret realm, the spirit beasts I encountered are almost all at the Jindan stage." Feng Jue chatted with 03 while walking back as if taking a stroll.
03 pulled out a map and showed it to Feng Jue. The large map was 3D, with a floor plan in the upper left corner. All the spiritual beasts, spiritual plants, and spiritual objects they encountered along the way were clearly marked on the map by 03, and even the spiritual stones in the underground mountain were not spared.
Feng Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at the map in surprise.
03 said: "Indeed, the system analysis shows that the Chongshan Secret Realm will most likely disperse the cultivators to different locations according to the cultivation level of the entrants, and each location corresponds to a spirit beast of a corresponding cultivation level."
Having never heard of such a thoughtful secret place, Feng Jue frowned and whispered, "How could it be?"
Spiritual plants and creatures were fine, but spiritual beasts had legs and feet, so how could they be imprisoned? Unless there were barriers in each area to restrict their movements, how could such an inanimate object in a secret realm be capable of such behavior?
"Before the Chongshan Secret Realm was upgraded, I heard from the disciples of Lanyang Palace about the situation in the secret realm. The highest level of cultivation in the secret realm during the foundation-building period is the spirit beast in the early stage of the golden elixir.
, the situation you described did not occur."
"I think the cultivation of the secret realm spirit beasts has also increased after the upgrade, so it's not surprising to see golden cores everywhere."
03 calmly said: "The system only proposes possibilities."
Feng Jue: "Who is the system?"
03: "The system is me."
Feng Jue said, "This system seems quite capable. At least I've never seen a map so clear that even the smallest blade of grass and tree can be clearly seen. This system is incredibly gifted and intelligent."
03, who was flattered, couldn't help but float upwards, and 03 in the bubble put his hands on his waist.
Feng Jue couldn't help laughing.
One person and one Tong were enjoying a rare warm time in the dangerous secret realm of rebirth. At this time, a sharp girl's scream came from a distance, getting closer and closer, and a familiar roar followed behind.
03 turned around and said, "Spiritual Poetry."
Feng Jue stopped, stared at the sound that was getting closer, and raised his eyebrows.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Everyone stared at the front and saw a girl in a cloak and gray clothes rushing out from the bushes with a panicked look on her face and bumping into Feng Jue head-on.
A woman with cold eyes, dark blood on her face and body, and a bloody smell, staring at her coldly.
"Ah!!" The girl screamed, her knees went weak, and she fell to her knees on the ground.
03's eyes followed the girl's body downwards, and without waiting for Feng Jue to speak, he said calmly, "No need to be polite."
"..." Feng Jue's mouth twitched. He ignored the girl who was lying on the ground crying loudly and looked at the Fire Rock Dragon that was chasing the girl.
"roar?"
Ling Shi poked her big head out from the bushes, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Feng Jue. She swam over affectionately and wrapped herself around Feng Jue, resting her head on Feng Jue's shoulder.
03:?
Isn't that where it usually burrows? 03 immediately floated over, holding the matchstick and circling around Lingshi's head, pointing at Fengjue seriously.
First come, first served, the cuckoo occupies the magpie's nest.
Feng Jue shook her head slightly, then tossed out a black object. It was the elixir she had unearthed from the Earthly Demon Python she had killed not long ago. Upon seeing the elixir, Ling Shi abandoned her pursuit and darted after it. Its body brushed past the hair of the girl sprawled on the ground, its scorching heat causing her to shiver and she cried even louder.
"That's enough!" Feng Jue said impatiently, and said to the girl on the ground, "Why don't you get out of here?"
The girl who was wiping her tears with her cloak suddenly stopped crying. After her chest rose and fell violently, she actually cried, "I, I also want to leave, but I can't get up...
My legs are weak."
Feng Jue glanced at her coldly and walked forward. Someone who had just established his foundation and whose spiritual power was still unstable was not worthy of her vigilance.
But when she passed by the girl, the girl she had ignored found the courage to reach out and grab the hem of Feng Jue's skirt, saying in a trembling voice, "Dao, fellow Daoist, is that dragon your spirit beast?"
03A bubble appeared above his head, and after a pause, no expression appeared. It flew from Feng Jue's shoulder, which was still warm, to the girl, staring at her face covered in mud.
The girl's face was covered with mud, like a facial mask, with only her big, round eyes exposed. Even though her eyes were red from crying, she still looked beautiful.
03 tilted his head.
In contrast to 03's curiosity, Feng Jue was very rude and said coldly, "Let go! Or do you want me to do it?"
After being warned by her, the girl let go of her hand and cried, "I just want to say a few words to you, why are you so rude!" After that, she started crying again.
03 was startled and quickly flew to Feng Jue's other shoulder and landed, saying, "Host, this girl is pretty. Pretty people often have stories in books."
Feng Jue suddenly realized what 03 wanted to say, and the word "harem" suddenly popped up in her head. She pursed her lips uncontrollably and looked down at the gray-faced, immature-looking little girl with disdain, and once again began to doubt Xue Bufan's character.
She hesitated for only a moment, and the girl crying miserably on the ground raised her head cautiously and said aggrievedly, "Then, then, can I talk to you now?"
"Fellow Daoist, I didn't come here on purpose. It's just... it's just that my family is very rich. Could you please take me with you? I'm only sixteen years old, so young, and I don't want to die yet!"
"As long as you can take me away from here alive, my family can give you anything you want! Spirit stones, magic tools, elixirs!" The girl suddenly rushed over, hugged Feng Jue's legs and cried loudly, "Please save me!"
Feng Jue: "...Let go!"
At this moment, 03, as if seeing the door to the success of the mission open to it, flew in front of Feng Jue and raised the panel with words written on it.
Please save her!
【For your happiness! 】
Is this little thing crazy!
Feng Jue's face darkened. A man was flying around in front of her, and a girl of unknown origin was crying and hugging her thighs at her feet. She couldn't tell which one made her more angry.
Half a minute later, Feng Jue returned to the Jade House with a dark face. She turned around and slammed the door shut, locking the bubbling Tong inside.
outside.
"You are not allowed to come in!" she said angrily.
03 Spins around happily, indicating that it is okay, it will keep watch, right? It will do so.
The girl who had been following me wiped her tears and wiped the mud off her hands. She said aggrievedly, "You clearly promised me, why did you lock me out? I am a great—"
She paused, stamped her foot, and complained, "There are snakes, insects, rats, and ants everywhere out there. Maybe a spirit beast with a higher cultivation level than mine will pass by and eat me in one bite. What if I give you spirit stones and you let me in?"
I don’t care where you sleep!
Feng Jue's annoyed voice came from the house, "You are afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Don't cultivate as an immortal anymore. Go and reincarnate again!"
"You!" The girl gasped and said angrily, "No one has ever spoken to me like that before. If you have the guts, tell me your name."
Feng Jue opened the window and looked at her, then said slowly, "If you want to ask someone's name, why don't you tell me your name first?"
The girl stared at her, frowning, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she swallowed her saliva, raised her muddy face, and said loudly: "I am Qiu Shuangshuang, the daughter of the master of Qiu Shui Pavilion in Nanyangzhou!"
bite!
03 The light bulb above his head suddenly lit up, and he quickly flew to the window. Before he could get close to Feng Jue, the window slammed shut.
Oh, okay.
03 landed by the window and said loudly: "Host, the list I compiled for you is useful. Isn't it now?"
Feng Jue ignored it and said in a cold tone, "Palace Master Feng Jue of Lanyang Palace."
Hearing Feng Jue's origins and name, Qiu Shuangshuang was startled, her momentum dropping. She whimpered and found a clean spot to wipe her tears. 03 Floating over to see this girl who might have a connection with the protagonist, she heard Qiu Shuangshuang muttering to herself, "I heard that the head of Lanyang Palace is arrogant and picky. She told me not to dislike snakes, insects, rats, or ants. But you live in the Jade House. If we switch places today, let's see if you'd mind!"
You are absolutely right.
03 After giving Qiu Shuangshuang an affirmative look, the musical notes above his head passed through the wall of the jade house and landed on the table under Feng Jue Shatong's gaze.
"Host." The cold voice sounded a little happy. 03 raised the matchstick and pointed at Qiu Shuangshuang outside and said, "She doesn't look very smart, but she is still a little smart. What do you think?"
Listen to what the hell you're saying?
Feng Jue picked up the tea bowl on the table and covered 03 with it, so that out of sight, out of mind.
03, who was being muffled, raised the matchstick, and two small whiskers suddenly grew out of the tea bowl. He asked, "Is it not possible?"
"I've been with you before
I told you, this won't work." Feng Jue tried to speak in a calm tone.
03 did not give up and said, "People who cultivate immortality have long lifespans. In a few years, her age will be suitable."
Feng Jue remained calm and said, "Then she might not live to see the right time."
03Shut up, and the whiskers of the tea bowl will retract.
Feng Jue, who was standing with his arms crossed and staring at the tea bowl, raised his eyebrows.
After a while, a silver ball suddenly flew out from under the table.
"Host, humans can fall in love at first sight or fall in love over time. I won't give up." 03 said.
Feng Jue picked up the teacup covering it and put it aside. He then took out a new bowl, took out a palm-sized teapot from the storage ring, and filled both tea bowls with tea.
The steaming aroma of tea lingers in the air, filling the room with the fragrance.
Feng Jue drank his tea slowly and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, you can live as long as you want."
03 floated to the tea bowl that belonged to it, took out the small popsicle that Ben had taken a bite of from his backpack, and clinked it with the tea bowl that Feng Jue held out.
cheers.
After drinking tea, Feng Jue's anger subsided. She lowered the curtains and bathed behind the screen. 03, who had been ordered to stay outside, listened to the sound of the water and chatted with her. Through the curtains, she could see the blood-stained clothing draped over the screen. She expected that by the time Feng Jue finished her bath, the clothing would have vanished with the fire.
It can't live as long as it wants.
03 Holding the small popsicle and eating it while thinking, there is a "crunching" sound when chewing the popsicle in my mouth.
It seems real.
Feng Jue thought carelessly, scooped up some water and poured it on her hair, then asked casually, "When you returned to your world before, did you only buy the voice and nothing else?" She saw a bite mark on the popsicle 03.
Isn't he the most outstanding commander? But he can't even afford to buy food?
03 Be honest: "I didn't buy it. I'm not used to spending points yet."
Although it was only spent that one time, the memory is still fresh.
Feng Jue was puzzled, "You don't like it very much?"
"I was just shocked," 03 said. "It was like finding out I could have human emotions, but I didn't have to."
"Why? Wouldn't it be a shame not to get what you like? You clearly have the ability to get it." Feng Jue disagreed with 03's idea and said, "Aside from your appearance, you're almost like a human being. It's time to learn how to be a human being."
03:?
The Jade House has a barrier, and the movements outside can be heard from inside, but the movements inside cannot be heard from outside. I don’t know where Ling Shi, who had been hiding to eat the beast pill, has returned.
I don’t know what I did, but Qiu Shuangshuang was so scared that she burst into tears. The crying sound could be heard in the house and was very clear.
Feng Jue laughed and said to 03, "You always have strange expressions on your face. If you were a human, you would definitely be as lively and frivolous as her eldest daughter."
03Listening to Qiu Shuangshuang’s crying, he drew a clear line between them with great refusal.
"I'm not a human being."
"I won't jump out."
"Not a Miss either."
I won’t cry either.
A clear and cold voice fell into Feng Jue's ears. Feng Jue sneered and walked out from behind the gauze curtain wearing new clothes. She was covered in moisture. A ball of fire fell from her fingertips and burned the dirty clothes on the screen dry, without even leaving any ash.
Her usual mockery and arrogance were revealed under her long, curled eyelashes. She opened the window and looked out.
Ling Shi curled up in a ball outside the window, curiously looking at the girl hiding beside her. The mud on Qiu Shuangshuang's face had been wiped clean at some point, revealing a very pretty little face. She was already so pretty at her age, and she would surely be even more dazzling in a few years. No wonder her reputation as a beauty had spread to Dongzhou.
But Feng Jue's eyes did not fluctuate at all when he looked at her face. Even though the Palace Master of Lanyang Palace was extremely picky about food, clothing, and even had requirements on the appearance and dress of the palace maids, the way he looked at such a little beauty was like looking at wild flowers and weeds on the roadside.
Even the words were addressed to 03.
"I don't care whether you are a human or not, but if one day you cultivate a human body, apart from other things, it would be no problem for the eldest lady of Lanyang Palace to let you do it."
Feng Jue laughed, and her lazy laughter attracted Qiu Shuangshuang's attention. She looked at him pitifully with tearful eyes, as if she felt that Feng Jue was laughing at her. She stomped her feet heavily, turned around and wiped her tears.
"Look." Feng Jue pointed at Qiu Shuangshuang and said to 03, "If you want to cry then, just cry as much as you want. There's no need to secretly turn around and wipe away your tears."
03 floated over, floated opposite her, raised the matchstick, and made an X sign with 03 in the bubble.
first.
"I'm not a human being."
Secondly
"I won't cry"
at last
"Why would I cry as a human being?" 03 was puzzled, and 03 in the bubble frowned his dark eyebrows.
Feng Jue smiled and said, "Who knows, maybe I'll bully her to the point of crying."
03 was silent for a moment, then opened his backpack to look at the long list of points he had accumulated. He then opened the store to look at the items and corresponding points. A thoughtful expression appeared on 03's face in the bubble. After closing the backpack and store, 03 looked at Feng Jue. Putting aside the question of who was bullying whom, he thought of something else.
“
There is a misunderstanding in what you said. Every race has its own aesthetic. Humans naturally think that humans are better. But I am a system. Why do I have to be a human? Why don't you be a system? "
"If you were building a system, it should be a fiery red ball." 03 raised a matchstick and drew a beautiful, rolling circle.
Feng Jue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Humans are the leaders of all spirits. Which spiritual creature in this world that has awakened its spiritual wisdom doesn't want to cultivate a human body?"
03 felt that the system was quite long. At this time, it heard Feng Jue ask again: "Lingshan, you said that each race has its own aesthetic. Let me ask you, from your system's perspective, what do you think of this Palace Master?"
03 stared at the host's face for a moment, then said calmly under Feng Jue's meaningful gaze, "You're pretty, just say whatever you want to say. As long as you're happy, that's all."
"You are good-looking, after all."
