Chapter 25 Overtime
A natural hot spring sits atop a peak, with curls of hot smoke and white mist rising into the air. Surrounded by pristine snow-capped peaks, the vast expanse of water ripples gently, resembling a fairyland.
Amidst the fluttering snowflakes, Ming Fengque walked forward, his white robes fluttering as he walked, creating layers of beautiful arcs.
He had a smile on his face, looking elegant and graceful. His slender fingertips fell on his belt intentionally or unintentionally, and then he pulled it loosely. With a rustle, the clothes fell to the ground.
"Chu Chu..." He turned around and said softly, as if coaxing someone, "Do you want to take a hot spring bath together?"
As expected, Chuchu Bird shook his head.
Chuchu Bird landed on a rock on the shore, grabbed hold of it, and shook his head, expressing his refusal: "I'm a system, I don't need to soak in this."
Ming Fengque felt a little regretful.
I really want to see the way she looks when she first soaks in the hot spring, with the steam rising, her long hair floating on the water, her watery blue eyes moist and alluring. If she accidentally gets wet, she'll be leaning against the wall in a daze...
——I can’t see it now. But it doesn’t matter, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
The water splashes and you walk into the hot spring.
After taking off his feather satin coat, the boy's skin was cold white and his body was strong and powerful. Immersed in the warm water vapor, his muscles were clearly visible and resilient.
He had his back to him, slightly sideways, his long white hair half loose, falling over half of his shoulders, faintly revealing a whole area of phoenix patterns on his back.
The phoenix pattern belonging to the ancient demon clan glowed with golden light, which was gorgeous and brilliant beyond human power. It seemed to contain thousands of stars and moons, like a god, making people submit to it.
But none of this could compare to his eyes.
Like phoenix eyes gilded by the sunset, narrow and deep, with slightly upturned corners, they swept over everything calmly, looking at the snow, the water, and the mountains with indifference. Those eyes should have been inhuman, with the inherent coldness of the demon race, but the moment they saw the first clear sky, they curved slightly, the broken snow reflected in their eyes, and they were exceptionally gentle.
It seemed as if in the hazy and dark night, colorful fireworks rose into the night sky.
…
The strategy posts written by other hosts are all about how to complete tasks and how to improve strength, but Ming Fengque wrote in his strategy post how to make himself look photogenic.
Being on camera is not that simple. It involves lighting, angle, atmosphere, expression management, eye management, etc. All in all, it is even more troublesome than the task itself.
This was the most beautiful posture he had ever studied.
Any young girl who sees this scene will surely be moved.
Ming Fengque maintained this posture, turned his head with a smile and looked towards the shore.
... Chuchu Bird didn't even raise its head, jumping back and forth on the stone, typing with the sound of its claws.
Still writing the host observation report.
The smile in Ming Fengque's eyes deepened, but there was no emotion in the smile, only a hint of gnashing of teeth.
The sound of water spread again.
He slowly stood up from the hot spring pool, crystal clear water droplets dripping from his pearl-like chest, and a few strands of long hair stuck to him, like a piece of moonlight in the Milky Way.
His eyes glanced at the stone lightly.
The Chuchu bird on the stone noticed that he was about to come out, and fearing that there was not enough time, it increased its speed, and its claws flew out, leaving a trail of afterimages.
Aaaaaaaa, it’s too late!
...writing host observation reports frantically.
Ming Fengque: “…”
He was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually filled with helplessness and annoyance.
In front of Chu Qingkong, you did tasks for him while he wrote the system work report. You tried to be nice to him while he wrote the system work report. You found opportunities to seduce him while he was still writing the system work report...
His system is really very dedicated.
That's right, he is so dedicated.
He raised his eyes and smiled gently. There was not a trace of powerlessness in his heart. Instead, he felt an increasingly strong possessiveness and love.
Was it because of their relationship as host and system that he worked so hard? Ultimately, work was for oneself, right? His Chuchu even expressed her affection for him in such a subtle way...
He watched Chuchu Bird writing the report from afar.
His expression became softer.
…
Chu Qingkong was completely unaware of the host's fluctuating emotions.
He jumped up and down, racing against time, praying in his heart that the host would not come out so early as the table had not been finished yet.
Finally, the moment Ming Fengque came out of the hot spring, he successfully uploaded today's report.
Now that he had some free time, he flapped his wings and began to think about new problems.
Perhaps it was because he had been working for too long this time, so he really wanted to get off work and was eager to return to the system space.
It is true that life in the world of cultivation is easy and enjoyable, but working is never as good as getting off work!
He sighed, covered his face with his wings, and stood on his host's shoulder like a sleeping owl, ready to take a nap.
"Chu Chu, are you there?" Half asleep and half awake, he heard Ming Fengque's voice, which was a little low and smiling, "Do you have a work regulations manual for the system world? Please pass me a copy."
The system world has separate work guides for the system and the host, as well as a work manual that summarizes all rules and regulations. The former is a textbook, the latter is a criminal code.
Chu Qingkong didn't think much about it, and went back to the system space to export a copy, and then floated an extremely thick booklet that was half a person's height into his hand.
He fell asleep.
In the ice house, Ming Fengque sat at the head of the bed, lit a candle, and opened the work manual in the warm light.
He smiled faintly, read ten lines at a glance, and his eyes finally fell on a line of words, his expression gradually becoming satisfied.
…Well, it turns out the abduction system no longer works, and the sentence is only a hundred years.
Every hundred years, a new system is adopted.
Can.
Very punishing.
…
No one disturbed the world of cultivation, and the flow passed for another two or three days.
Chu Qingkong leads a busy life. Every day, he supervises his host to concentrate on cultivation, returns to the system space to write reports, and devotes himself to improving task completion and KPI.
He multitasks and is always concerned about the host's movements.
Even when Ming Fengque was casually lighting a bonfire, picking up a flying bird and glancing at it sideways, he suddenly appeared.
Chu Qingkong asked accusingly, "Are you planning to make it into a braised bird?"
He knew! He'd seen it last time in the system space! The bird's kind was being stewed, stewed, and boiled, and this one was definitely being prepared for braised!
The little bird trembled in his jade-like hands.
We birds have not offended anyone.jpg
Of course they are very afraid of Ming Fengque.
But the only phoenix in the world is him. The phoenix is the king of all birds, and the birds are born to follow his surging spiritual power. They respect, revere and fear him, and cannot disobey his orders.
Ming Fengque sighed: "Yes."
In fact, he had already been fasting for a long time and had little interest in catching a bird to cook for dinner. He just felt happy when he thought that if his cooking skills improved a little, he could let Chuchu eat the dishes he cooked himself.
It’s just cooking, practice makes perfect.
The bird is shaking even more! !
Chu Qingkong: "...Damei, don't eat birds."
"Hmm?" Ming Fengque's eyebrows curved, rejecting his system for the first time. "Ah, but it looks delicious."
Say no once in a while.
The phoenix is such a strange creature. It has too high self-esteem, is highly sensitive and stubborn. After repeatedly hitting a wall, it will suddenly become emotional and want to push it away once.
After pushing someone away, you will feel lost and regretful, and then hope to be coaxed back to confirm your unique position in the other person's heart.
Chu Qingkong answered quickly: "Host, are you unhappy about something? Don't go to the bird, I can help you!"
What pushes away and what coaxes back?
Chu Qingkong paid no attention. He had only one firm thought in his mind: Helping leaders solve problems is a basic quality for workers!
"I see," he pondered carefully, then suddenly realized, "Do you think these little birds are useless? Let me give you a new task!!"
In the system space, he opened the task release panel, typed a line of words, and clicked OK.
[You have issued a new task "Building an Army of Strange Birds."]
[Quest time limit: one month, quest reward: Supreme Tribulation Reversal Pill, Supreme Heavenly Thunder Shield.]
Although he didn't get the host's true thoughts, he still got the correct answer to this wave by accident.
“…”
Ming Fengque smiled faintly and agreed to the new task. His heart softened and warmed secretly, and his eyes were filled with joy and happiness.
I want to show off on the host forum soon.
His system is really thoughtful.
…
Chu Qingkong continued to work diligently every day to supervise the host's practice.
Ming Fengque has the blood of the demon clan. He abandoned the ruthless way and focused on cultivating the power of the phoenix demon to forge the way of killing.
Because he chose the right path, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.
In the blink of an eye, the tribulation period has arrived.
If one succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, he will be one step closer to becoming an Immortal Lord.
Ming Fengque failed last time when he was trying to overcome the tribulation, which should have left some psychological trauma. However, this time it was completely different. He had the biggest golden finger, working diligently by his side.
The entire mountain was shrouded in shadows, thunderclouds spread and gathered above the snow and fog, the purple light of thunder and lightning roared faintly, and the sense of oppression from the heavens was deep and heavy.
The flock of birds screamed sharply, and several small birds became intelligent and flew out to detect the situation outside.
Ming Fengque was dressed in white, smiling calmly, and slowly brewed a pot of fresh snow tea deep in the snow-capped peaks.
He had the utmost contempt for the heaven that wanted to kill him.
The thunderclouds suddenly became more violent.
Chu Qingkong threw out the treasures from the system store as if they were free, and the treasures that were priceless from the outside world were scattered all over the ground with a crackling sound. By the way, he kept his original intention and did not forget to get the benefits at a high price from the host.
This wave is worth at least 100,000 points!
"Host, come on." Chu Qingkong said seriously and sincerely, "I will protect you and won't let anything happen to you."
On the surface: I will protect you! I won’t let anything happen to you!
I was counting the time until the end of the get off work day in my heart: I will be off work after finishing this job. There is still half an hour left before the end of work, ah ah ah ah ah!
No one can stop workers from leaving get off work!
Thunderclouds are gathering.
Chu Qingkong looked at the dark purple clouds. The first bolt of lightning fell, and at the same time, a golden shield automatically rose up to block the thick thunder falling from the sky.
The shield is broken.
But more shields rose up one by one, waiting in line to block the thunder.
Chu Qingkong watched Dujie from a distance, yawned slowly, and thought that he was just a guardian, so he prepared to go off work immediately.
There are fifty-five heavenly thunders in total, and he can go off work after half of them are struck!
Don't let anything happen to make him work overtime at this time! !
He had just finished thinking this when a sharp bird cry as shrill as a sword's edge broke through the thick fog and cold wind of the snow-capped mountains, and the huge sound waves shook the mountains.
All the birds were startled.
Thunderbolts from the sky struck one after another, carrying strong murderous intent, and each bolt of lightning was hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than the previous one.
The bird scout sent the final response.
The first sect in the entire cultivation world is leading the entire sect's elite and is rushing to attack.
Chu Qingkong: “…”
“…………”
He doesn’t want to work overtime! ! ! !
