"Is that so?" Ling Qianji vaguely touched the back of his head and suddenly thought of something. He said, "Right, Senior Sister, I need to go turn in a mission!"
With that, he ran towards the main hall without stopping.
Seeing this, Ming Li raised an eyebrow and leisurely followed him.
After Ling Qianji finished his mission, he ran happily to Ming Li's side like a little dog seeking praise, showing no sign of being the cold-hearted Demon Lord. "Senior Sister, Senior Sister! Look! So many spirit stones! Let's go! I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
As he spoke, the young man pulled Ming Li's hand and headed down the mountain.
Ming Li, whose hand was being pulled, was stunned and followed the young man down the mountain.
"Whoa! Host, this male lead is being perverted!" You're going to lose your life!
In the space, the system was shocked, watching the two holding hands through the system display. It couldn't help but sweat for the male lead.
Hearing the system, Ming Li also looked at their clasped hands and instinctively frowned.
The two soon arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain.
The town was bustling with people, lively and extraordinary. To avoid causing trouble, both of them used illusionary magic before entering the town, changing their faces to those of ordinary people.
"Senior Sister, there's peach blossom crisp over there! I remember it's your favorite!" As soon as he finished speaking, he ran over and bought two large bags of peach blossom crisp.
Ming Li, "......My taste has changed recently."
(￣▽￣)"
"Ah? Then what has your taste changed to, Senior Sister?"
Ming Li looked at the small wine jars next to the peach blossom crisp, her lips curled. "Peach blossom brew sounds good, what do you think?"
"No!" Ling Qianji looked at Ming Li disapprovingly. "Senior Sister, drinking alcohol is bad for your health. When did you start drinking?"
The smile on Ming Li's face instantly collapsed, and she numbly reminded him, "We are cultivators, and these mortal wines won't hurt me, you know."
Ling Qianji, "......Alright, then drink less."
Ming Li took the peach blossom brew from the stall, skillfully popped open the seal, and sniffed. She frowned in disdain. After taking a sip, the "川" character between her brows deepened. Although she felt the wine was very bad, she didn't say anything......
Afterward, the two explored the entire town and ate a lot of delicious food. In the middle, the system couldn't help but emerge to freeload food and drinks.
"Hic!"
The system leaned into Ling Qianji's arms and let out a satisfied burp, patting its round belly. This familiar feeling!
Wait! Why did it feel so familiar?! Strange......
"Senior Sister, I didn't expect your contracted beast to be such a big eater."
Ming Li, "No, you'll find out later that this guy can eat even more......"
Ling Qianji, "......"
After they were full, the two returned to the You Feng Sect.
"It's so late, where did you two go?"
As soon as they stepped into the sect, a slender figure appeared before them.
"Greetings, Great Elder."
Seeing that it was Wan Yun, Ling Qianji quickly lowered his head and saluted.
At this moment, Ming Li suddenly heard a conversation. One voice was Wan Yun's, and the other was an unfamiliar mechanical voice, "System, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is this the male lead?"
"Yes, the system shows that the person in front of you is the child of destiny in this plane."
Before Ming Li could say anything, she heard the system's snarky voice in her mind, "Host, I just upgraded the system program. You can now hear the conversations between the female lead and the system!"
Ming Li thought of something, her face darkened, "How much did it cost?"
Hearing this, the system's heart skipped a beat, and it instinctively swallowed. "Just... just five hundred..."
"Five hundred and eight? I think you've gotten too bold..."
Hearing Ming Li's dangerous voice, the system continued to swallow, "H-Host, listen to my explanation! I saw your points were about to get moldy, so... I couldn't help myself... And and! It's not five hundred and eight! It's five hundred!"
Ming Li, "Is there any difference......"
