“Did you detect it?”
In her mind, Wan Yun’s voice was a little anxious as she asked the system.
The Strategy System replied, “Detected. Her system’s aura is indeed present.”
“That’s great! How can I devour her system?”
The Strategy System said, “Your cultivation is higher than hers, and I can easily devour her system.”
Upon hearing this, Wan Yun frowned. “Cultivation? Can you detect her cultivation level?”
The Strategy System scanned Ming Li again, but before the scan was complete, the instrument used for scanning began to emit smoke. The next second, the system space let out a loud bang.
“Boom—”
Hearing the sound from the system space, Wan Yun suddenly had a bad premonition. “What happened? What’s going on?”
The Strategy System’s voice trembled as it said, “Her… her cultivation… I can’t detect it at all?! How is this possible? Could it be…” Her cultivation is already above the Mahayana stage? But how is that possible! If that were the case, this person would have ascended long ago! How could she still remain in this world?
Seeing the system stop speaking halfway, Wan Yun’s brows furrowed deeply. “Could it be what? Hurry up and say it!”
The Strategy System thought of something and changed the subject. “It’s nothing. Actually, there is another method, but the success rate of that method is almost zero.”
Wan Yun asked, “What method?”
“If… if she releases her system from her space… you just need to capture her system, and I’ll have a way to devour it.” As it spoke, the Strategy System gave Wan Yun a container with a strange appearance. “All you need to do is put it in this container, and it won’t be able to escape.”
The system can be released from space? Moreover, people who have systems usually hide them, right? Who would release their system from their space? Do they think they’ve lived too long?
“This method won’t work!”
Ming Li, who was ignored, frowned displeasedly. “If it doesn’t work, change it.”
“?!!” Wan Yun stared at Ming Li vigilantly. “You can read minds!”
Ming Li replied, “Otherwise, what do you think?”
Wan Yun stammered, “You…”
“I heard everything, so… if you dare to touch this seat’s system, I’ll make sure you die without a whole corpse.”
Saying that, Ming Li smiled menacingly and turned to leave.
Watching Ming Li’s retreating back, Wan Yun gritted her teeth in anger.
“Heh! Tang Li! I’ll see who ends up dying without a whole corpse in the end!”
At this moment, the Strategy System in the space said, “Since she heard everything, let’s put this matter aside for now. You should focus on攻略ing the male lead. His favorability is currently only fifty percent, with fifty percent remaining.”
“I know.”
After speaking, Wan Yun walked towards the mountain gate of the Youfeng Sect.
“Host, what are you doing?”
Wan Yun looked at the steps beneath her feet and narrowed her eyes. “攻略ing the male lead.”
Hearing this, the Strategy System said nothing more.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Wan Yun looked at the crowds of people coming and going, took a deep breath, and then walked towards an old man selling candied hawthorns.
“Two strings of candied hawthorns, please.”
After buying the candied hawthorns, Wan Yun bought a packet of Osmanthus cake, which Ling Qianji loved to eat the most, and then returned to the sect.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
A series of knocks sounded. Ling Qianji, who was cultivating, was interrupted and frowned. “Who is it?”
“Qianji, it’s me. May I come in?”
Hearing Wan Yun’s voice, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ling Qianji’s eyes. “Come in, Shifu.”
“Creak—”
The door was pushed open.
Wan Yun entered with the candied hawthorns and Osmanthus cake, her face adorned with a perfect smile. “Qianji, I just went down the mountain to buy you your favorite candied hawthorns and Osmanthus cake. Come and try them.”
Hearing this, Ling Qianji smiled and said, “Thank you, Shifu.”
“Male lead’s favorability +5%.”
Hearing the system’s prompt, the smile in Wan Yun’s eyes deepened.
“Qianji, come and eat quickly.”
Ling Qianji replied, “Thank you, Shifu. I’ll eat after I finish cultivating.”
-------------------------------------
Half a month later, the system nervously said to Ming Li, “Host, the female lead is at ninety percent攻略! Why aren’t you doing anything about it?”
Upon hearing this, Ming Li’s eyes narrowed, and the system instantly felt a chill down its spine, as if a ghost had passed by…
“I suddenly thought of something very serious!”
“Ah?” The system subconsciously swallowed and asked, “Host… what is it…”
“The mission!”
Hearing these two words, the system’s heart skipped a beat. “Oh no!”
Thinking of something, its body relaxed. It opened the system display screen. “Host, the mission… there were problems with the mission before, and it was constantly being revised, which is why I didn’t tell you. Let me see if it has been restored now.”
Ming Li let out a “Heh!”
The system ignored Ming Li’s sarcasm and, looking at the system display screen, its eyes lit up. “It’s restored! I’ll transmit the plane mission to you now!”
As it spoke, it quickly transmitted the plane mission to Ming Li.
【Mission One: Avenge the original host. Mission Two: Protect Ling Qianji and prevent Wan Yun from harming him to death.】
Ming Li asked, “Just these two?”
The system replied, “They should be…”
“Should?”
Sensing Ming Li’s chilling tone, the system stiffened. “Host, these are tasks issued by the main system, I…”
Ming Li said expressionlessly, “Heh!”
The system was speechless…
Seeing Ming Li get up and walk outside, the system, for some reason, suddenly felt a little panicked. It subconsciously asked, “Host, where are you going?”
Ming Li replied, “To undergo tribulation.”
The system exclaimed, “?!!!”
Ming Li walked to Wan Yun’s room. After confirming that Wan Yun was indeed in the room, Ming Li directly climbed onto Wan Yun’s roof and then cast a sound-isolating barrier around her room.
After doing all this, Ming Li directly broke through the shackles within her body. The next second, the originally clear sky became overcast with dark clouds, and within the oppressive clouds, thunder seemed to be rolling.
The next second, a tribulation lightning bolt, thicker than Ming Li’s entire body, swiftly struck towards her.
The system was so frightened that it let out a scream and was immediately silenced.
The system was speechless…
Looking at the lightning tribulation striking towards her, Ming Li’s lips curved into a beautiful arc, and she said in a faint voice, “If the female lead is killed by my tribulation lightning, the system shouldn’t count it as a failed mission, right?”
The system shrieked, “!!!” That’s too wicked!
“Boom—”
Ming Li was quickly engulfed by the tribulation lightning.
Also engulfed were Wan Yun’s room and Wan Yun herself…
Ling Qianji, who rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at Ming Li enveloped by the tribulation lightning and roared in despair, “No! Senior Sister! Come back!”
Tears silently slid down his face.
Ling Qianji lowered his head, his voice gradually weakening. “Tang Li… come back… Tang Li… please… come back!”
At this moment, the girl within the tribulation lightning seemed to sense something. She turned her head, looked at the young man, and said, “Live well, be good…”
“Boom—”
The last bolt of heavenly lightning struck. Ming Li’s figure emitted a dazzling red light. After the red light disappeared, Ming Li’s figure also vanished from the spot.
Seeing this, Ling Qianji completely lost his mind!
The next second, his body emanated a dense demonic energy.
Soon, Ling Qianji was enveloped by a ball of demonic energy. When the demonic energy dispersed, a man with a stunning appearance and dressed in black robes appeared in his place…
Looking at the blood-red mark between the man’s eyebrows, the Sect Master and the six great elders all widened their eyes and said in unison, “Demon Lord!” He died, didn’t he? Why is he appearing here now?
