"What are you doing?"
Seeing the system pulling out a pile of candles from somewhere and lighting them, Ling Qianji's mouth twitched. She wasn't dead yet, and it was already preparing a memorial service?!
The system took out a box of matches and struck it a few times before it finally lit up. As it lit the candles, it said, "Hurry up and go in."
Ling Qianji, "......"
Finally, Ling Qianji gritted her teeth, a white light flashed in her hand, and she entered with her sword, but after a short while, she was sent flying back out.
The system looked at the just-lit candle in its hand extinguishing.
Seeing this, the system frowned, "Damn, wasting one of my candles so quickly!"
Over there, Ling Qianji, who had smashed into the stone wall, got up and was surprised to find herself completely unharmed. "What's going on?"
The system looked at its little candles with heartache and said, "One candle is equivalent to one of your lives. Every time you die, one candle will be extinguished..."
"So, I've already died once?"
The system, "Cherish life, it's everyone's responsibility!" Can it please spare its little candles?!
Ling Qianji glanced at the large pile of candles next to the system, narrowed her eyes, and charged in again with her sword. However, she was sent flying out again after a few minutes, smashing hard against the stone wall.
Another candle on the ground was extinguished...
After Ling Qianji extinguished dozens of candles, the system finally couldn't stand it. Holding its remaining little candles with heartache, it said to Ling Qianji, who was flying out again, "I didn't ask you to defeat that guy. You just need to get that secret manual."
"Ah?" Ling Qianji looked at the system in confusion, frowning. "What secret manual?"
The system, "...Did he not hear anything I said?!"
"Didn't you see the small black wooden box above the fierce beast's head?"
Ling Qianji shook her head and truthfully said, "I was fighting the fierce beast the whole time. I didn't have time to pay attention to that."
The system thought for a moment. In the original plot, Ling Qianji had fallen down with the female lead. It was only after the female lead defeated this fierce beast that she accidentally obtained the secret manual...
Thinking this, the system paused for a moment and told Ling Qianji the weakness of Yuan Ji, "This fierce beast is said to have been sealed here by the Demon Lord a thousand years ago. This guy originally had nine heads, but the Demon Lord cut it into three parts and sealed them all here. As for its weakness... the original script... cough cough cough! Historical records state that its weakness is its tail. As long as you chop off its tail, it will naturally not pose much threat to you."
Upon hearing this, Ling Qianji's eyes lit up. She cupped her hands and said to the system, "Thank you, Divine Beast Sir, for your guidance!"
Hearing Ling Qianji's words, the system instantly felt much grander. It raised its chin, cleared its throat, and said, "You're welcome, go on!"
Saying this, the system waved its pig hooves.
Ling Qianji nodded seriously, then charged in again with her sword.
"Boom—"
After a while, Ling Qianji was sent flying out again.
Another candle was extinguished.
The system, "...(￣_￣|||)"
"Cough cough cough! Mistake! This was a mistake!" Ling Qianji said awkwardly to the system, struggling to get up from the ground.
The system, "...(￣_,￣)"
Watching Ling Qianji charge in again, the system's expression was blank, and it struck a match again to light another candle...
