"Ugh! Being human is so troublesome..."
Yu Ling sighed. Playing the piano day and night for several days in a row had not broken him down, but the daily eating, drinking, defecating and sleeping annoyed him to death. Can't humans just stop for a while?
Despite lacking a robust physique, they toiled tirelessly day and night for goals beyond mere survival. Yu Ling didn't quite understand.
As my thoughts drifted, I recalled my past self.
For trees in nature, a complex root system is an essential skill for survival. As long as the roots are deep, there is enough sunlight, and they are kept away from humans or other animals, they can easily live for thousands of years.
However, in the extremely cold and remote land of the Immortal Realm, most living beings, such as Yu Ling, an ordinary ice crystal tree, would find it difficult to survive.
Also growing in the midst of raging winds and snow, fortunately, when Yu Ling took root underground, she unexpectedly sensed a natural vein of icy jadeite. In order to prevent others from discovering the aura leaking from the jadeite, she abandoned her growth on the ground and continued to work hard to extend her roots to absorb nutrients, only hoping to use her body to envelop the entire icy jadeite.
He succeeded in the end, and thus became the first mutated ice crystal tree spirit to become a demon in the extreme cold.
On the day Yu Ling took human form, the blizzard in the frigid land, whose rules had been broken, suddenly stopped, and the sun shone on the earth for the first time. Countless creatures that had struggled to survive here took human form as demons without the suppression of rules. But for some reason, none of them left and spontaneously became the guardians of the frigid land.
The anomaly in the frigid land alarmed the entire immortal realm. Countless cultivators flocked to this land, which had never been set foot on by any outside creature since its formation, greedily absorbing the scattered spiritual energy, intending to find the treasure that caused this anomaly in the frigid land and claim it for themselves.
However, it was clear that the treasure was just a hoax, and the Frost Jade Marrow had long been diluted by the Jade Diamond, so there was not much benefit to be gained. In addition, a large number of demons who had just taken human form in the extreme cold lands were chasing them in anger, and they faced the threat of bloodshed and death, so they could only return empty-handed.
The survivors recorded this frigid region in history and designated it a forbidden area.
That was Yu Ling's first encounter with humans. Faced with a threat that was wantonly destroying the extremely cold land, all he could do was kill.
Making enemies is that simple.
Leaving aside how Yu Ling changed his attitude towards humans afterward, in short, Yu Ling was neither friendly nor fond of humans. If humans weren't the darlings of Heaven, he wouldn't have bothered to understand them at all.
However, now he finds himself missing those people from the immortal realm in his previous life.
Cultivators are indeed human, but they can cultivate immortality and abstain from grains! They are incomparable to the utterly mortals of this unknown little world!
Yu Ling had grown tired of the body she was possessing after thoroughly understanding its structure.
"It's better to be a monster. As long as I stay in one place and bask in the sun, I can live for so long. Why do humans need to waste time like sleeping? System, tell me why?"
The system's previous hosts were all humans, and they were speechless when they heard this bizarre statement for the first time.
That's true. Before, there was nothing to do in prison, so he slept. After that, he was completely drugged and passed out, so this was the first time the host had lived a normal human life.
[Um, I don't know either, sob. This system is just a high-tech intelligent product from a higher dimension, and does not possess the physiological conditions of ordinary living beings, sob~]
Fortunately, despite her complaints, under the system's supervision, Yu Ling still ate and slept on time every day. Although she wasn't very happy about it, she still cherished her human body quite a bit.
He needs to live well so he can travel to other worlds and broaden his horizons. He still needs to earn 100 survival points every year.
Seeing that Yu Ling had obediently adapted to human life, the system couldn't sit still any longer.
[Waaaaah, host, how much longer do we have to hide here?! Gu Cheng and the others will find us soon, we'd better run away!]
The light sphere system, biting its handkerchief, looked at its host, who was calmly enjoying the music and admiring the graceful figures of the songstresses, and felt utterly disappointed in its host.
"No rush, we can't leave, and we don't need to leave."
This is how Yu Ling answered.
Can't leave? Why can't we leave?
The system doesn't actually know.
Since the situation is already so bad, why is its host still so relaxed and carefree? At least take a gamble and maybe he can find a way to survive, right?
However, as a qualified self-rescue system, 0375 must abide by the rule of not interfering with the host's decisions. Otherwise, why bother binding the system to the host when the system could just go about its own survival? Therefore, the system did not say much and did not ask Yu Ling about her plans.
Another day passed, and at midnight, Yu Ling lit a candle and laid out the book given to her by Yi Luo. Just as she was about to savor it, a gentle, shifting knocking sound came from the doorway.
"Brother Yu, are you resting?"
It was Yiluo's voice.
"I haven't had time yet, is there something important?"
Yu Ling got up and opened the door, only to see Yi Luo standing in front of the door with a haggard look on her face. She looked at Yu Ling as if she wanted to speak, but all that came out of her mouth was a long sigh.
"Why does Sister Yiluo look so pale? Please come inside and we'll talk!"
Yu Ling's black hair cascaded down like a waterfall and was not yet tied up. Wearing only an undergarment, he seemed oblivious to the chill of early autumn. His eyes were filled with deep concern for Yi Luo. He quickly ushered her in, closed the door, poured her some hot tea, and placed it in Yi Luo's hands.
"Why don't you speak? What has happened that has left our Miss Yiluo so shaken?"
