In a pitch-black world, Hua Cai floated in mid-air, looking around: "Idiot, come out, what kind of place is this?"
"Ta-da! Boss, are you surprised? This is a resting space I specially prepared for you. It's the perfect place to relax after a mission and enjoy a holiday." The system's silly voice rang out, and a miniature version of Hua Cai appeared in front of Hua Cai, flapping a pair of transparent little wings, shamelessly acting cute.
Hua Cai stared expressionlessly at the system, which seemed to be twitching and kept blinking at her. Her lips twitched, and she slapped the glowing sprite away: "Get out of the way, have you no shame? You actually stole my face."
The delicate and adorable little angel flew out like a shooting star, and then darted back like a shooting star: "Which strategy guide said that my image is the easiest way to make girls' hearts flutter? I'll kill him when he comes out."
"Hmm?" Hua Cai raised an eyebrow.
"Host," the system said, instantly becoming serious, "You completed your first mission very well. The target has died of old age, and you have gained 100 energy points. Please keep up the good work."
The system's serious voice made Hua Cai very uncomfortable, but the energy points and such still cheered her up.
It's said that this is what's used for redeeming items in that so-called online store.
"Open the system shop." Hua Cai waved her hand magnanimously, and the system eagerly pulled out a light screen.
In an instant, the sheer number of goods on display was dazzling.
There were all sorts of immortal techniques and elixirs, such as "King Mu's Five Elements Technique" and "Dragon Dance White Yang Scripture," as well as "Celestial Immortal Great Rejuvenation Demon Pill" and "Heavenly One Wood Divine Pill." Even in the miscellaneous items, there were things like "Nine-Colored Devouring Sable Cub" and "Death-Defying Thunder Scale Carved Egg."
Staring dumbfounded at the long string of numbers above the price, Hua Cai silently turned off the screen and looked at the system without saying a word.
The system felt uneasy under Hua Cai's gaze and shuddered, pulling the light screen back down.
"Boss, don't keep looking at the top. These are all sorted by price. We're only in the first world, with 100 energy points. Let's scroll down." Under Hua Cai's expressionless gaze, the system diligently adjusted the interface to a suitable price range: "See, this is pretty good."
Hua Cai glanced at it lazily, then her eyes lit up: "The Nine Yin Manual is actually worth a thousand energy points, not bad! So I've made a profit. Hey? Where's the Wumu Legacy? Why can't I find it?"
In the screen full of light, Hua Cai immediately spotted the familiar words "Nine Yin Manual" and saw that the price was 1,000 energy. She instantly felt like she had gotten a great deal.
"The Wumu Legacy is not in the system shop." Seeing that Hua Cai was still searching on the screen, the system quickly explained: "The Wumu Legacy is a special item in the world. The value of such an item cannot be defined. It is relatively useless in the cultivation world, but it can mobilize thousands of troops in the mortal world. The system shop does not include it."
Hua Cai was stunned, somewhat unable to process what this meant.
"Therefore, only those who enter this world to undertake a mission and memorize the contents of the Wumu Legacy can take it with them. There is no other way to obtain it," the system explained earnestly.
Hua Cai rubbed her little hands together, her eyes shining even brighter: "Don't rush the next task. Quick, recite the Wumu Legacy and the Nine Yin Manual to me first."
They made a fortune.
Hua Cai excitedly shook its four snow-white tails, two snow-white pointed ears suddenly popped out from the top of its head, and its crimson eyes stared intently at the system.
System: ...I'm so nervous. The pressure from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's gaze is immense.
Meanwhile, the Qingqiu Witch Clan.
The boy lying in the cave opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, his right hand clutching his chest, and gasped for breath until he could see his surroundings clearly before he slowly let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally—you're back." A clear and gentle voice echoed in the cave. The boy stood up, rubbing his forehead, but almost fell back down.
"Young Master, you're awake." A young man in black who was guarding the cave entrance heard the noise, came in from the cave, and helped the boy up with concern.
"It's nothing." The boy frowned. "It's just a side effect of the space travel technique. I'll be fine after resting for a few days."
The boy took out a pill from the ring on his hand and swallowed it. He then took a luminous pearl and embedded it in the wall, instantly illuminating the dimly lit Shandong.
Walking to the stone table in the cave, the young man casually picked up a spirit fruit from the fruit plate and popped it into his mouth: "There was a slight mishap this time. I lost my memory after the spatial travel, which allowed that woman to escape. Wu Ce, how is Hua Zhong doing?"
The boy gently raised his hand to wipe the juice from the corner of his mouth. His crimson eyes, gleaming with a cold light, narrowed slightly as he looked up at the black-clad youth, Wu Ce, a chilling smile playing on his lips.
Bathed in the light of the luminous pearl, a face with exquisite features was revealed—it was none other than Wu Mu, the heir of a collateral branch of the fox clan who had recently set a wedding date with Hua Cai.
“We are preparing for your marriage to your only daughter,” Wu Ce replied in a low voice.
"The marriage, hehehehe—" A faint laugh echoed in the cave, the voice filled with hatred sending chills down one's spine: "Hua Zhong, you killed my parents and drove out my people, so you'd better prepare well. But when the time comes, it might be a different story."
"Young Master, Wu Ce is willing to go through fire and water to avenge the great hatred of the Lord and the Mistress." Wu Ce suddenly knelt down on both knees.
"I will handle this matter myself. Where is the Xuanni blood I asked for? The spatial travel is too restricted. I think only the Everlasting Life Curse can make me remember my goal even when I have amnesia. How can I not kill her and live up to the travel technique I have worked so hard to master?" A faint voice sounded. Wu Mu cut his finger and, with the spirit beast blood that Wu Ce handed him, a complex rune gradually took shape on his arm.
System space.
"So, in the ordinary world, I'm quite rich with these 100 energy points." After flipping through a few pages of items that fit her budget perfectly, Hua Cai regained her confidence.
"Isn't that right?" The system secretly wiped away sweat. "I transferred all of the portion that the system was supposed to take, after leaving enough energy for the teleportation, to you."
At such a favorable time, the system would never miss an opportunity to claim credit.
However, Hua Cai was very pleased with the system's statement and patted the little elf on the shoulder encouragingly, almost sending it flying again.
"Not bad, not bad, keep up the good work. Seeing how cooperative you are, we should take our missions seriously too. Let's go, get ready to head to the mission world." Hua Cai and his brother patted the system's little wings, and accidentally plucked a piece off.
The system barely managed to steady itself, reluctantly snatching the wings back from Hua Cai's hands and attaching them to itself. With a wave of its tiny hand, another miniature light screen appeared in front of it.
"The Rebirth of a Noble Daughter: This mission targets a woman, who can be directly possessed. She is beautiful and, most importantly, comes from a wealthy family; The Peerless Twins: This one is also a woman, and incredibly fierce, tsk tsk; Come on, look at this one behind... and this one... There's everything, take your pick."
