The tally mark she drew in blood on the ground was still on the horizontal line, but the blood had already congealed.
After a moment of distraction, Bi Xie glanced in surprise at the direction of the stone chamber entrance.
Why haven't those two bastards, Cong Nian Zhenjun and Hongru Zhenjun, come to carry out the punishment yet? Did she sleep for such a short time?
She was a cultivator who had long since abstained from grains, so she could not estimate the time based on the degree of hunger in her stomach.
The tally marks on the ground have been inaccurate since the moment she fell asleep.
Bi Xie frowned and stared blankly at the few small porcelain bottles on the ground.
Several hours later, Bi Xie moved his legs, which were a little numb and cramped, and endured the pain from the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nails as he walked, heading towards the entrance of the stone chamber.
If one were an ordinary person, one would certainly not be able to see that grayish-white barrier.
Bi Xie reached out his hand, and unsurprisingly, it felt like he had hit a hard, cold wall.
Could it be that Wu Zhan really thought of a way to delay those old men? Otherwise, several hours would have passed and no one would have come to the Fire Poison Cave to interrogate her about Ji Gui's whereabouts.
After lost in thought for a while, Bi Xie slowly moved back.
"Waaah, host, I'm back~"
A clear and charming voice suddenly rang in his mind, and Bi Xie was so shocked that he almost tripped and fell.
"A small...small system?"
"Hehehehehehehe, it's your humble servant! It's only been a short time, how did you end up in such a miserable state, host? You're so pitiful!"
Bi Xie chuckled: "Did you update again? Why does your voice sound so... so..."
"Hehehe, isn't it lovely, host? Doesn't it sound like a lark? Hehehehe, I've chosen the most beautiful voice in the world. The description says it's like a nightingale singing in a valley, melodious and graceful, a heavenly sound..."
Bi Xie interrupted the trashy system that was deliberately showing off its voice: "What I want to say is, how can you be so perverted! Tell me, are you a man or a woman?"
If she can't survive this world and kicks the bucket, she needs to figure out before she dies whether this system that keeps calling itself "slave" is male or female.
This is obsession.
"Hehehe, I originally wanted to choose male, but the Ghost Cultivator said that only women can have the voice I chose, sob sob, I have no choice but to reluctantly choose female. But my voice is really so beautiful, sweet and tender~"
Bi Xie's brow twitched: "You disappeared for so long just to determine your gender?"
"Hehehe, yes, I spent a long time choosing, listening to each voice one by one, and finally chose this one. Hehehe, I also chose a face that could shame the moon and flowers, would you like to take a look, host? And my slender waist, would you like to pinch it, host~"
I'll pinch your big head, you idiot!
Bi Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Hehe, actually it's quite good that you're neither male nor female. You can be a man when you want to be a man, and a woman when you want to be a woman."
The hosting system wholeheartedly agreed: "Waaaaah, I also think being neither male nor female is quite nice, but what the Ghost Cultivator said makes sense. As a mature system, how can I be genderless?"
Bi Xie's lips twitched, and he didn't continue discussing the issue of the system becoming a female system.
"Little System, how's it going with Ji Gui? How long will it take for him to return?"
The hosting system suddenly let out a shy whimper: "Oh dear, I forgot to tell my host my new name. The name I chose is Ru Hua~"
puff!
flowery?
Bi Xie: I laughed, thank you.
The wounds on his body ached again because of her smile, and Bi Xie hissed, unable to help but mentally light another row of candles for those bastards.
"Hehehehe, host, stop laughing. It hurts me to see you grinning like that. The big boss is still fighting with the Demon Emperor Chifeng in the Wilderness. He won't be back for a while. It will take at least half a year to return."
More than half a year?
Bi Xie could no longer laugh. She didn't know how many days had passed since the Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nails entered her body. She felt that the nails had grown into her flesh and blood, and they no longer caused any pain or itching, nor did they bleed anymore.
"Ruhua, if I die, when the big boss comes back, you must make him avenge me! It would be best to implant ten or twenty Dragon Bone Soul-Destroying Nails into that Nian Zhenjun's body as well, so that he can neither live nor die..."
"Waaah, host, you're so cruel! What happened while I was away? How did you, a person of impeccable character, turn evil?!"
Bi Xie pursed her lips and recounted all the tortures she had endured over the past few days. By the end, she was even impressed by her own resilient constitution.
Damn, she's a real steel-willed woman. It's a miracle that she's managed to survive this long under those hypocritical scoundrels!
"Waaah, poor host," Ru Hua wiped away non-existent tears.
"Why doesn't the host just give in to the big boss sooner? The happiness level is only 7 points away from being full. The host can just close his eyes, lie down on the bed, and maybe the happiness level will be full. Then the host can leave whenever he wants. Why suffer like this!"
Bi Xie sighed, his eyes vacant, as if he had come to a realization: "Ru Hua, you're right. After being tortured like this, I've figured it out. Forget about points and tasks, forget about all that. Living with dignity is the most important thing."
Ru Hua: "That's right. Host, just treat each world as a mission. After completing all the missions, you can be reborn. In my opinion, you are still very popular with the big bosses of each world. As long as you hold on to the golden thigh, why suffer? Sigh, it hurts me to see you like this."
Bi Xie thought of something and looked utterly hopeless: "If I'm still alive after I finish this world, I'll have to spend points to remove the OOC (out-of-character) mechanism. Who knows what the big boss of the next world will be like!"
"Hehehe, I trust my host. No matter how difficult the big boss in the next world is, he'll definitely end up in your bed~"
Bi Xie's lips twitched: "Ru Hua, a girl should be reserved, don't keep saying 'getting together'..."
The two of them, one person and one system, reunited after a long separation and chatted for a long time.
Having been alone in the confined space for a long time, Bi Xie became incredibly talkative, almost like he was giving his last words. His expression was dejected as he said, "Ru Hua, we've already collected two drops of blood in this rose necklace. I don't know what the Ghost Cultivator wants this blood for, or how much is needed, but I probably won't have the chance to find out..."
"If I don't make it through, you must put in a good word for me with the Ghost Cultivator. We're already quite familiar with each other, so I'm not asking you to burn more paper money for me. Just beg the Ghost Cultivator to release my soul and send it to be reincarnated."
With a chuckle, Bi Xie continued, "I know that the Ghost Cultivator is incredibly powerful. If he has any connections with the King of Hell, please make sure he tells me not to be reborn as an animal..."
