Chapter 170 The Ruins' Beloved (23)



Soon, Ji Cangming and Jiang Jue arrived.

Everyone gathered.

They asked him in unison.

"What's the rush?"

Xi Xingxue took a deep breath and was about to speak.

But it felt like there was a stone stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say anything.

He couldn't believe it.

Instead, she asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Everyone nodded blankly: "We're full."

Xi Xingxue mustered her courage again, wanting to confess those things, but her throat was blocked again, and she couldn't say anything.

She was incredulous, but gave it a try one last time.

"A good meal makes for a better journey."

The result can be stated.

It means that he can speak.

But I can't talk about those sensational things.

Ji Cangming's lips twitched: "You're full, so you can get going? What are you talking about?"

Jiang Jue stared intently at Xi Xingxue, his eyes filled with doubt.

Only Ji Lin felt a strange sense of relief, no longer tense, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xi Xingxue maintained her composure, "It's nothing, I just said that after we finished eating, we were about to drive away from here, so I was just asking you."

"Oh, okay." Ji Cangming said, "Then let's get ready and leave. The car is ready."

"Okay, I'll go back and pack my things first."

Xi Xingxue left, her mind elsewhere.

The three of them watched his retreating figure, a hint of worry appearing in their eyes.

Xi Xingxue returned to her tent alone.

Before he could even call the system to sort things out, a strange mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

"Looking for your system?"

This voice was colder and more inhuman than his previous system.

Xi Xingxue tightened her grip, remaining calm: "Who are you?"

"Main system".

Xi Xingxue: "What do you want with me?"

"Your system leaked information it shouldn't have, so I've punished it by putting it in solitary confinement. I'm here to warn you."

Xi Xingxue: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to tell you that things in this world are not that simple. Even if you want to do it with him again, you may not succeed."

Xi Xingxue: "Explain yourself clearly."

"You want to return to the country you lived in, revive your homeland, and fall in love with him again to gain new memories."

Xi Xingxue: "Yes."

"He can only choose between his family, his country, and himself."

Xi Xingxue: "Why?"

"The price to defy fate is too high. You reassemble his soul fragments, but the price is to forget him forever, as well as all memories of him."

"If you truly regain your memories of him, then the fragments of his soul will dissipate once more."

"So you should think it through: from beginning to end, your relationship can only be a tragedy."

"Of course, once all the tasks are completed, you can use your points to get back together with him. However, if you use your points for this, you won't have enough to revive your homeland."

Xi Xingxue remained silent.

After a long pause, he suddenly laughed: "Then sacrifice my soul."

"I want both my country and him."

This time, it was the main system's turn to fall silent.

Its mechanical sound carried a strange, hoarse quality.

"You're really stubborn."

After saying that, a crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the main system disappeared.

Xi Xingxue said softly, "This is really inexplicable..."

So what if there's a cliff ahead? Even if it is a cliff, we still have to go and try.

After all, there might be water below the cliff.

Therefore, his mind will not be affected.

He will first complete the tasks diligently and earn points.

After this, there must be another way out.

......

"We're heading to what used to be Yanshi (Tobacco Market), and the base is located south of Yanshi..."

Song Jin thought slowly in her voice.

Xi Xingxue stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Someone hooked his little finger: "What are you thinking about?"

"fine."

Jiang Jue: "You seem to have something on your mind."

He rummaged through the bag and took out the food, then handed it over.

"Eat something to recover."

Xi Xingxue suddenly asked him, "Jiang Jue, if you could only choose one to live, your family or your lover, which would you choose?"
