Chapter 177 I was so busy talking to the system and the weird old man that I forgot about the big Buddha beside me.
"Host, please earn points." The sudden voice of the system made Lan Xiyue frown, and then she felt unhappy.
She secretly complained in her heart: This damn system is useless and only wants to fleece me.
Lan Xiyue responded calmly: "System, why are you so anxious? I'm not anxious at all."
System: "Host, don't you want to earn enough points as soon as possible? If you want to achieve point freedom and no life threat, you must constantly earn points. Also, don't you want any items in the mall? The weather is hot, and this ancient time is so backward. The mall has a new item, the Mi Li mini fan. I don't want 9.99 million points, I don't want 990,000 points, I don't want 90,000 points, I don't want 10,000 points! Do you want it?"
Lan Xiyue couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Hey! System, you've seen too many modern livestreamers selling goods!"
System: "Uh... Host, the previous host of this system was a sales influencer."
So that’s it!
System: "Host, you need to pay more attention. This system has followed so many hosts, but you are the only one who is not active enough in completing tasks. Other hosts are not like you!"
Lan Xiyue raised an eyebrow when she heard this. "System, if I earn enough points, will the mission be completed? We can then unbind each other, and you can find another host?"
The system fell silent. It was in its last bound host, where the main brain discovered it had regained consciousness and was nearly wiped out. Fortunately, it encountered the Purple Ghost Ring and hid inside it in time, thus escaping the disaster.
I don't know how many years passed until Lan Xiyue got the ring, awakened the Ziyou Ring, and bound it at the same time. Because Lan Xiyue had the Ziyou Ring, it could avoid being discovered by the main brain. As long as it earned enough points, it could unbind from the current host, exchange for ultimate energy, and return to interstellar space and time to fight the main brain.
If the host can honestly earn points and obtain the ultimate energy earlier, it can choose not to kill her. If it is allowed to wait for too long, when it no longer needs her, it will kill the host.
"system?"
System: "Host, once you have enough points, we can unbind you."
"Are you serious?"
System: "Of course it's true. When has this system ever deceived the host?"
Lan Xiyue laughed in her heart, I'm afraid you have been lying to me from the beginning to the end.
System: "Host, hurry up and earn points!"
"Okay, okay, I'll just earn the points." Fortunately, Mo Liyuan had promised him before that he would cooperate with him when he earned the points.
Lan Xiyue lowered her head and stroked the Ziyou Ring. "Strange old man, how can I escape this system? Is it really as it says, that I can unbind myself by earning enough points?"
The strange old man snorted, "I've been observing secretly these days, and I think I understand, girl, this system is very ambitious. It just wants the ultimate energy in the mall."
"Ah, the ultimate energy requires so many points! No wonder the dog system keeps eating my points."
Weird old man: "Girl, but it shouldn't have lied to you about this. As long as you earn enough points, you can unbind it."
Lan Xiyue suddenly recalled the previous conversation with the system about borrowing half a month's worth of life points. "Oh, oh old man, this system can be quite cunning sometimes. But didn't it lend me half a month's worth of life points before and ask me to pay back five million points? Why didn't it ask for interest after I earned the points that night?"
She was also angry at the system for swallowing her points, and she didn't notice that the system didn't even mention any interest.
"Haha~ Of course the old man tampered with its memory temporarily. It only remembers borrowing your life points, but not the interest it mentioned."
"Wow! Weird old man, you can actually tamper with the system memory? Amazing!"
The strange old man fell silent. Tampering with the system's memory temporarily cost him a lot of soul power. His soul body is getting weaker and weaker now, and he doesn't know how much longer it can last. After all, Yue'er was raised by himself, and he doesn't want to see her being controlled by the system all the time. If the girl earns enough points, this damn system still wants to harm the girl. He can only fight to protect her. After all, he is also a soul body now.
"Strange old man, I feel much more at ease with you around."
The strange old man said: "Girl, don't worry, this time I will protect you no matter what."
"Hmm? Weird old man, what do you mean?"
"Oh, no, even though I'm a spirit, I still want to be with you forever. I want to see you get married, have children, and live a happy life. That way, I'll feel at ease."
Lan Xiyue frowned, "Strange old man, are you hiding something from me?"
"You little rascal, what could this old man possibly be hiding from you? What are you thinking? Earn points and get rid of the system as soon as possible."
Lan Xiyue always felt that the strange old man was hiding something from her. Was she really overthinking it?
Mo Liyuan kept looking at Lan Xiyue who was in a daze, not missing the changing expressions on her face, nor disturbing her.
Lan Xiyue came back to her senses and looked up. Those eyes were as deep as the abyss, staring at her quietly. Lan Xiyue's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Oh, she was so busy talking with the system and the strange old man that she forgot about the big Buddha beside her.
She blinked, "Um, Your Majesty, I was just lost in thought..."
Mo Liyuan hummed softly, then looked away into the distance.
Lan Xiyue was secretly surprised. "Huh? Not angry?" Then, she reached out and took Mo Liyuan's arm. Mo Liyuan's body suddenly stiffened. He turned his head to look at his arm, a glimmer of joy in his eyes.
Lan Xiyue chuckled, "Your Highness, digging a canal will take time anyway. Now that we have food and the people are settled, they won't make any noise. How about we go for a walk on the top of the mountain?"
Mo Liyuan lowered his eyes. Yue'er didn't know that the food they had was only enough to sustain the people for ten days. And the relief grain from the imperial court would probably take at least fifteen days to arrive.
Since Yue'er was interested, he didn't tell her, so as not to upset her. So, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Just like that, Lan Xiyue, like a modern couple in love, took Mo Liyuan's arm and walked slowly towards the top of the mountain. Their figures stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, appearing particularly harmonious and beautiful.
After spending the past few days together, the people passing by also knew their identities and bowed to greet them, "His Majesty, Princess!"
Lan Xiyue has become accustomed to such address. Although they have not yet officially married, Mo Liyuan has already said that he will propose marriage when he returns, so in response to the greetings from these people, she just smiled and nodded.
As Lan Xiyue walked away, she could still hear the people in the distance sighing, "The prince and princess are truly a match made in heaven. They are a perfect match, talented and beautiful...."
"Yeah yeah……"
