"You're really annoying!" The system was clearly impatient; it wished it could grind its teeth and swallow Xie Zhou whole.
Unfortunately, as a system, it has no physical form, so it can only silently fume in its heart.
"Why are you so angry? It's just a cheat system, right? If you link yourself to me and I don't complete the mission well, you'll definitely be punished by some central system, and then neither of us will have a good time!"
Everyone looks out for themselves, and Xie Zhou is a villain, so it seems reasonable for him to exploit the system.
"You...you..." The system didn't utter another word for a long time. No matter how Xie Zhou shouted, the system seemed to be dead.
"What bad luck!"
Xie Zhou moved his arm, but his back was in excruciating pain.
"What are you saying, you ugly thing?"
The two fairies who were changing the dressings had obviously heard what Xie Zhou had just said.
"Has this ugly thing gone mad?"
"I think it's possible. Should we go and inform His Majesty?"
The two fairies were whispering to each other, but Xie Zhou heard every single word they said.
"My two fairy sisters, I just had a dream. In the dream, I was bothered by some little ghosts and monsters, which is why I said what I just said. Please don't be offended."
Xie Zhou wore a fawning smile.
"Okay, okay."
A fairy cast a disdainful glance at Xie Zhou, but her hands didn't slow down at all as she packed her things.
"Sisters, you're leaving already? What am I going to do?!"
The medicine from the Sword Sect wasn't exactly a miracle cure either. After the medicine was applied, his back was still burning with pain. Seeing that the two women were about to leave, Xie Zhou panicked. Could it be that the Venerable One wanted to use this method to send her back to nature?
"I will obey His Majesty's orders in everything."
Neither of the two fairies replied.
"I've heard this child has a weak fate; staying with him would be detrimental to our cultivation. We should leave quickly..."
"How could the Immortal Venerable have taken in such a child and even brought her to this Frost Palace?"
The two fairies gradually disappeared into the distance, muttering something under their breath, which Xie Zhou didn't quite catch.
In the empty hall, only Xie Zhou remained.
Lingfeng had also vanished without a trace, and Xie Zhou was left helpless, his cries for help going unanswered. It was truly a human tragedy.
“There has never been a villain like me before…” Xie Zhou’s eyes widened, and he shrugged his head.
"System! System!"
Her body was in excruciating pain, and she lay on this cold bed with no one to care for her. Even the system that had always been with her had disappeared. Xie Zhou felt an unparalleled loneliness at this moment.
"Show me the flame you just made again."
Just as Xie Zhou was pondering, a slightly doubtful, cold voice came from behind him.
"Ah, this..."
Xie Zhou didn't not want to, but she had exhausted all her efforts, and the last bit of magic power in her body was completely insufficient to support her in creating even a small flame.
"Master..."
Xie Zhou turned her head, and she pitifully covered her arm, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Ling Feng.
"I told you not to call me Master."
Lingfeng frowned, a hint of impatience clearly showing in his eyes.
"I...I'm sorry, Master...I...my wound is really painful, so...so..."
Xie Zhou put on a pitiful look with a sour face, but Ling Feng frowned even more as he watched.
"Alright, there's no rush."
Lingfeng flicked his sleeve, brushed his hand through his long, thin hair, and his face showed nothing but disgust.
"You can go down now."
Lingfeng raised his delicate eyebrows, half-closed his eyes, and formed hand seals, indicating that he was cultivating.
Xie Zhou looked around. Apart from Ling Feng and Xie Zhou, there was not a single person in the huge Frost Palace. The two fairies who had been serving him were nowhere to be seen.
Lingfeng seemed to have entered a state of self-forgetfulness, while Xie Zhou mustered his courage.
"Cough cough..."
She covered her mouth and coughed softly twice.
Lingfeng remained focused on his cultivation with his eyes closed, not even lifting his eyelids.
"It seems like they really don't care about me anymore."
Xie Zhou quietly got up, feeling a bit bolder, and dared to wander around the Frost Palace.
"The Cangwu Lord, the strongest being in the Eight Desolations, even a light touch grants him 10% of his magic power, which is enough to make me... hehehehe..."
Xie Zhou swallowed hard and tiptoed toward Ling Feng from behind.
Upon arriving behind Ling Feng, Xie Zhou suddenly stopped.
In the original story, Lingfeng could travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. It was said that with a wave of her hand, rivers, lakes and seas would be reversed. If she were to be discovered by Lingfeng now, wouldn't she be unable to even leave behind a corpse?
Or should we just forget about it?
Xie Zhou swallowed hard and slowly withdrew his hand from Ling Feng's.
"Ding... Sufficient points, automatically redeem one back scratcher." The system's cold voice suddenly rang in my mind.
Xie Zhou was startled, and a long back scratcher appeared in his hand without him noticing. The back scratcher was pressed against Ling Feng Que's back!
"Um?"
The next second, Lingfeng, who was still in front of Xie Zhou, vanished without a trace.
Xie Zhou felt cold sweat trickling down his face.
"what you up to?"
Xie Zhou's feet were dangling in the air when she felt a sudden force, and Ling Feng lifted her up.
"I...I...I just wanted to scratch Master's back...Waaaaah..."
Xie Zhou felt her heart pounding wildly, and the wounds on her body began to ache intensely again. Although she couldn't see Ling Feng behind her, she could feel the rage that was about to engulf her.
"Master...no...Immortal Venerable, you are so magnanimous, please don't hold it against me, sob sob sob..."
Xie Zhou no longer cared about saving face at this moment, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, wishing he could raise his voice even higher.
"That's enough!"
Lingfeng suddenly loosened his grip, and Xie Zhou was abruptly thrown to the ground.
As his anger subsided, Xie Zhou finally regained some composure.
"Garbage system! What were you doing just now?! You almost killed me!" Xie Zhou angrily confronted the system.
"The system is just an auxiliary tool." Who knew this garbage system would still argue so confidently.
"Why...why did you exchange this for a back scratcher for me?!"
Points are hard-earned, and this system actually used Xie Zhou's hard-earned points to exchange for a back scratcher?
"The system is just an auxiliary tool; you need to work hard to see through everything yourself." The system repeated the same sentence.
Thank you for your help.
Suddenly, Ling Feng's voice reached Xie Zhou's ears.
"Come here."
Lingfeng called out again, making Xie Zhou feel uneasy.
