Before Lin Zhenzhen could say anything more, the carved wooden door on the outside suddenly opened out of thin air.
Xuanyuan Zhao picked up the book again and said calmly, "You should go."
This is a way of telling them to leave.
Lin Zhenzhen turned and left without any hesitation. After a few steps, she saw Wei Wu, who looked furtive, lingering outside the door.
After bumping into himself head-on, he awkwardly touched his nose.
"Miss Ling, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Lin Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Go ahead."
"The moves you just used on stage, what school or style of technique were they? I've never seen them before."
When asked this question, Lin Zhenzhen immediately looked at him warily, her face showing a deep and mysterious expression.
"Well, if it's inconvenient to talk about it, then forget it."
Lin Zhenzhen stared at him for a while, then he beckoned her to bend down, and then lowered his voice to utter a string of incomprehensible notes.
Wei Wu was stunned: "What?"
Lin Zhenzhen repeated: "??????." which is the Thai pronunciation of Muay Thai.
"This... I've never heard of it before."
Lin Zhenzhen patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Learn from your young master and read more books."
Wei Wu's face turned red, and he could only manage a dry "Yes."
At the market, Lin Zhenzhen bought a hot meat bun.
[Host, you still have the appetite to eat? Your heart rate has dropped by two points, leaving you with only three!]
Lin Zhenzhen ignored it and bought a skewer of candied hawthorns from the stall next door, happily taking a bite.
[You little good-for-nothing, in this world, who is the person the male lead has the highest affection for?]
[Let me see... um, it's his former teacher, a cultivator named Xuan Kang, who is also the person with the highest cultivation level currently alive. However, his favorability rating is only less than fifty.]
Tsk, Lin Zhenzhen spat the fruit pit into her palm, thinking, "That old man is cold-hearted to the core, obsessed with strength."
[The male lead isn't old at all! By cultivation standards, he's still a fine young man!]
[Heh, but the original owner was only eighteen years old. Compared to him, isn't he just an old man? By the way, I just discovered a wisp of golden spiritual root consciousness within me. Is it because of Shi Hong?]
After fighting someone with a gold-type spiritual root, the corresponding spiritual root's consciousness appeared in my body. Could it be that after I activated my cheat ability, spiritual roots can also be "infected" through contact?
Upon realizing her conjecture, the system became extremely excited.
【Then you can go find the male lead. He happens to have chaotic spiritual roots of all attributes. Beg him to beat you up with all his different spiritual roots.】
Once you become the strongest woman in the entire Xuan Tian Continent, won't he be head over heels in love with you?
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and picked up the system's little curly tail in her mind's eye, then tossed it aside.
Two days ago, during the upgrade, an option regarding the materialization system appeared in her mind. From then on, a chubby, pink little pig appeared in her mind.
The little pig system got so angry that it went into hibernation mode.
On her way back to the Chen residence from Tianhe Hall, Lin Zhenzhen would pass through a large bamboo forest. It was midday, and the road was deserted.
She hadn't taken more than a few steps when she sensed something was amiss. It seemed as if a pair of eyes had been watching her from the shadows ever since the beginning.
Lin Zhenzhen's expression remained unchanged, but she secretly quickened her pace.
But when she stopped to rest after traveling for a while, the feeling of being spied on did not disappear.
There was even a rustling sound coming from behind as objects rubbed against the bamboo leaves on the ground.
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and took a step to the left, and the other person also took a step to the left.
She moved one step to the right, and the man moved two steps to the right as well.
Lin Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched. This kind of tailing was so unprofessional!
After taking a deep breath, she quickly turned around, and countless green vines unfurled like the nine tails of a fox spirit, releasing her spiritual energy and entering full battle mode.
Before me lay a wide avenue, a gentle breeze rustling through the bamboo grove, and not a soul in sight.
Lin Zhenzhen's gaze moved downwards, and she vaguely saw a round object among the piled bamboo leaves.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, the thing suddenly moved and flew straight toward Lin Zhenzhen's face.
"What the hell?"
Looking at the dark egg she was holding in her hands, Lin Zhenzhen fell into deep thought.
"Could this be ancient explosives?"
Upon hearing her speak of him like that, Black Egg immediately bounced twice in her palm, seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction.
"Can it understand human speech?" Lin Zhenzhen's fingers gently stroked the eggshell. The surface of the eggshell was not completely smooth, but had a frosted texture and was a little rough to the touch.
Upon feeling her touch, Black Egg immediately rubbed against her fingertips affectionately, as if it were being affectionate.
"Not bad." Lin Zhenzhen was very satisfied. It's good to be a chosen one; you can find intelligent spirit beasts on the ground whenever you go out.
Black Egg also sensed her joy and bounced happily in the air.
If anyone else found such a spirit beast, they would have quickly put it in their pocket.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhenzhen sent the black egg, which was still spinning in the air, flying with a single finger.
She smiled and said in its direction, "Mom said we can't pick up wild eggs by the roadside. You little brat who hasn't been weaned yet should just stay home."
When they returned to the Chen residence, there were only a few dozen servants there.
Lin Zhenzhen called the housekeeper to prepare the meal.
"Also, where are all the books that were previously in your collection?"
The butler was surprised that this good-for-nothing young lady would suddenly ask about this, and he tried hard to recall.
"Those books were left by the lady. After she passed away, they should have been placed in the east wing room along with other things."
The wife he was referring to was naturally Ling Zhen's birth mother. Ling Huan was a descendant of the Ling family, which was famous throughout the continent. Although the Ling family had begun to decline at that time, her generous dowry still made countless people envious.
That included the book Lin Zhenzhen was looking for, "The Complete Guide to Appreciating Spirit Beasts".
She closed her eyes and tried to recall the appearance of the black egg she had just seen.
Inside the sealed room, the ancient book in front of me emitted a faint glow.
A moment later, Lin Zhenzhen looked up.
Huh, what does "nothing" mean? Could it be that the little black egg doesn't belong to the category of spirit beasts?
It is not a spirit beast, yet it can understand human speech and is perceptive of human nature.
Then it can only be... a top-grade demon beast of the fifth rank or higher!
"That would be a bit troublesome." Because Yunlong Kingdom is located on the easternmost side of Xuantian Continent, separated from the Monster Valley by only a river.
Especially in April each year, when a horde of demonic beasts surges forth, countless cultivators perish in their jaws.
More importantly, monsters are inherently cruel and naturally hate humans, let alone monsters of such a high rank, which will surely be even more ferocious.
Lin Zhenzhen felt a chill run down her spine. Recalling the rough, frosted texture of the eggshell, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.
She returned to her room and was preparing to thoroughly disinfect both hands.
Suddenly, the blankets on the bed stirred.
