Liao Kongmin did as Ji Xiaoxiao instructed, and his hand smoothly reached into the mirror.
"I caught him." Liao Kongmin smiled, then frowned.
"Got it, let's go."
Liao Kongmin tossed the box into Ji Xiaoxiao's storage space. The study door was blown open by a strong gust of wind, and the First Elder, Tao Hong, was already standing angrily outside. Liao Kongmin was dressed in black and had his back to the First Elder, so the First Elder couldn't immediately recognize the thief's true identity.
"Who dares to touch the things of my Peach Blossom Spring?" the Grand Elder roared in fury.
Thyme, that's thyme, her last chance to break through.
It cannot be lost, it absolutely cannot be lost.
"Put your things down, and I'll let you go," Tao Hong kindly advised.
Without saying a word, Liao Kongmin broke the window and jumped out.
"Damn it!" Peach Blossom followed closely behind.
The two chased each other, and in the end, Liao Kongmin successfully escaped Tao Hong's pursuit with the help of the interference bomb given to him by Ji Xiaoxiao.
"Kongmin, how are you?"
Tao Hong was highly skilled, and Liao Kongmin was no match for her, still taking a blow from her palm.
Liao Kong coughed up a mouthful of blood and casually wiped it away with his sleeve.
"You won't die, don't worry." Liao Kongmin swallowed the blood that kept rising in his throat.
Ji Xiaoxiao was filled with fear and wanted to hold Liao Kongmin tightly, but she was powerless to do so; she was just a bunch of data right now.
"Xiaoxiao, break off a small piece of thyme for me."
Liao Kongmin's mission is to protect Peach Blossom Spring. Once Peach Blossom Spring is no longer sheltered by thyme, the large number of people and the vibrant atmosphere will surely attract a large number of zombies to hunt for food.
Ji Xiaoxiao used her divine sense to break off a piece of thyme and gave it to Liao Kongmin. Liao Kongmin caught the thyme and, combining the power of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, buried it carefully.
"This section of thyme can hold onto Peach Blossom Spring for at least a hundred years."
As soon as Liao Kongmin finished speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, closed his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
“Kongmin, Kongmin…”
The next day, dark, gray clouds covered the sky, and a light drizzle began to fall.
Ji Xiaoxiao held the thyme and watched helplessly as Liao Kongmin suffered from the wind and rain.
Without the master's request or acceptance of the system's gifts, Ji Xiaoxiao could not offer Liao Kongmin any help and could only sit idly by.
“Kongmin, Kongmin…”
At this moment, Liao Kongmin was on the verge of death, his body ice-cold.
Ji Xiaoxiao angrily threw down the box in her hand and focused all her attention on controlling her divine sense to crash into the system program.
These are all things made by intelligent beings, how could she not correct them by herself?
Ji Xiaoxiao exerted all her strength, constantly squeezing out the spiritual energy from her virtual body. Little by little, she covered up the program, temporarily allowing her own consciousness to control the entire system's operation.
"Alright." Ji Xiaoxiao ignored the celebration and quickly fed the elixir into Liao Kongmin's mouth. "Hold on, don't die."
She released low-level nanny robots and guard robots, changed Liao Kongmin's wet clothes, and hurriedly took out a bunch of items. Ji Xiaoxiao reluctantly fell into a deep sleep.
Three days later, Liao Kongmin opened his heavy eyelids with a splitting headache.
"Little one".
The moment he woke up, Liao Kongmin subconsciously called out Ji Xiaoxiao's name.
"Little one." No one answered.
"Little one," she called out even louder.
The response remained deathly silent.
Liao Kongmin felt a sense of foreboding and fear. Had something happened to Ji Xiaoxiao?
Upon seeing the robot and valuable items beside him, Liao Kongmin shattered with a snap.
Liao Kongmin knew, he understood, that Xiaoxiao couldn't give him anything unless he actively asked or accepted it. But now...
“Little her…”
Liao Kong was a worrier, constantly thinking the worst.
Liao Kongmin called out to Ji Xiaoxiao for three days and three nights, until his voice became hoarse.
"Kongmin." Suddenly, a weak and feeble voice reached Liao Kongmin's ears.
"Little one," Liao Kongmin said with delight.
"I'm fine, please stop disturbing my sleep. I'll be back to normal in a few days."
When the program retaliated, Ji Xiaoxiao's data body was almost formatted. If Bailixiang hadn't been there by chance, and if Ji Xiaoxiao hadn't reacted quickly and taken a small bite, she would have been unable to complete the mission. She had spent three days constantly replenishing her spiritual power and fighting against the program.
Liao Kongmin shut his mouth, his eyes lingering on Ji Xiaoxiao with longing.
"I'm fine, you really don't need to worry."
Ji Xiaoxiao comforted Liao Kongmin for a few moments before falling into a deep sleep.
Time flies, and ten years have passed.
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, under a clear blue sky, a metal sphere floats in mid-air.
"Today is the day I take human form. This place has the strongest spiritual energy and is the best place to undergo tribulation." The voice came from the metal sphere. "Kongmin, stay away from me. Heavenly lightning is indiscriminate and may accidentally injure you."
Liao Kongmin stubbornly stood still.
Ji Xiaoxiao sighed. Oh well, I'll just go further away.
