Wan Jiaoyang stopped, and Ah Li heard the manager breathe a sigh of relief.
Ahri seemed to realize her mistake, and she spun around in place and returned to the divine sword.
Seeing this, Wan Jiaoyang could only sigh.
Blade Spirit is ultimately just Blade Spirit; very few people have actually seen it.
So anyone who's even slightly good-looking can captivate her.
Wan Jiaoyang kicked Huo Ling and said, "Get up, stop pretending."
Huo Ling opened his eyes, sat up clutching his chest where he still felt pain, looked around, and asked, "Where's Ah Li?"
"Back in Jianli."
Wan Jiaoyang had already shrunk the divine sword and inserted it into his hair bun.
On the other side, after Ahri returned to the divine sword, she entered her own system space.
Ahri asked the system administrator, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly appear?"
The system administrator said, "Luckily I appeared. Huo Ling is the male protagonist of this world. If he dies, then no one can lead you to that teleportation array and send you back to the cultivation world."
"that's all?"
For some reason, Ah Li felt a little skeptical; she thought there might be more to it than that.
The system administrator, however, seemed unwilling to elaborate. He changed the subject, asking, "How did you feel about what you saw and experienced during your time in the illusion?"
"I feel that even though I am a system, there are times when I can't control myself."
Ahri was also puzzled. Why would she be controlled in the illusion if she was a system?
The system administrator said, "Because your system has gained more humanity. Before, when you were bound to a host and walked through each world, you were just an observer. Later, when you entered the world yourself to do tasks, you began to feel the seven emotions and six desires of a human being."
Therefore, Ahri is sometimes unable to control herself after being pulled into the illusion.
"Fortunately, you are a system, able to detect the crucial information for breaking the illusion in time, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"Otherwise you'll be utterly humiliated. You call yourself an ace system? Getting treated like this and that in the illusion? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?!"
The system administrator was practically yelling at him.
Ahri shrank back at his words, but the thought that she might not be able to have children in this world made her stand up straight. "So, you said you were going to check whether I could have children in this world? Have you checked yet?"
"Of course I checked!"
The system administrator flipped through his notebook and said, "Because you are a sword spirit, your pregnancy cycle will be very long, and the signs of pregnancy will not be very obvious. Sometimes you won't even be able to tell that you are pregnant."
Ahri found it hard to accept the thought of a sword suddenly having a protrusion in the middle. Had the world finally turned into something she couldn't understand?
The system administrator slapped the notebook in his hand onto Ahri's head, saying, "What nonsense are you spouting? It's your body that's pregnant, what does that have to do with the Divine Sword? Was that person messing with the sword?"
"So, the divine sword won't change much by then, but I, as a person, will?"
"That's right, that's exactly it."
The system administrator looked at him with an air of "he's a quick learner," and then took back the notebook.
Ahri thought back to herself, and realized that some things, even flowers, can give birth to children. One of those children even fell in love with a phoenix after it was born, let alone Ahri, who was a sword spirit.
So, this is normal, I guess.
"By the way, Ah Li, you must protect Huo Ling well."
Is this an extra task?
"Yes, I'll prepare an extra gift for you then."
The system administrator is like a boss who's good at making empty promises; he leaves Ahri with a pie in the sky and then waves his sleeves and leaves.
During this time, Ahri stayed obediently inside the divine sword.
Wan Jiaoyang also began to teach Huo Ling very strictly, after all, Huo Ling was someone the sword spirit liked, and he couldn't let him become a good-for-nothing.
When it came time for the family assessment, Ahri was knocked out of the divine sword by Wan Jiaoyang.
When Ahri appeared, she noticed that Huo Ling's eyes lit up immediately, and he kept glancing at her.
"Ah Li".
Huo Ling called out, then lowered his head again as if he had thought of something.
He is not strong enough yet. Just like Wan Jiaoyang said, unless he can become stronger and take the divine sword from Wan Jiaoyang's hands, he is not qualified to stand by Ah Li's side.
Ah Li snorted. Even inside the divine sword, she could sense what was happening outside and knew what Wan Jiaoyang and Huo Ling were saying.
However, this is a powerful figure in the cultivation world. How can you, a person from the modern world, compare yourself to him?
Fool.
Wan Jiaoyang didn't want to bring up the matter between Ah Li and Huo Ling. He said, "Ah Li, tell him what you found when you entered the Broken Bridge Illusion this time."
Ah Li then said, "The illusion of the broken bridge was created by the woman with the oil-paper umbrella. The entrance to the illusion is on the woman's umbrella. She wanted the man to appear. The man is in the water, and he doesn't want to see the woman again."
So, when Ahri and Huo Ling fell into the water, they were brought out by that man.
"Did you hear that?" Wan Jiaoyang looked at Huo Ling.
Huo Ling nodded, feeling a little ashamed that he hadn't noticed any of this.
Wan Jiaoyang said, "For the Fire Clan's assessment this time, they need to send someone to call out the man in the water. Only then will the assessment be considered a success."
Huo Ling twitched the corner of his lips; he probably couldn't get him to come.
"Ah Li, you go with him."
Wan Jiaoyang said to Ali.
Ah Li vaguely guessed that the man could also see everything happening in the illusion, and sometimes he would even control Huo Ling's body.
