"Master! Master! Wait for me!"
In the territory of Xiniu Hezhou, a yellow-haired monkey ran and shouted in a mountain forest, as if chasing something.
In the forest, sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches, casting shadows on the ground. A stunning figure in red flashed through the woods...
Hearing the sound behind her, Ming Li's lips twitched slightly. If it weren't for the system's strong objection, she would have already dealt with the monkey chasing her.
At this moment, in the system space, the system swallowed and said nervously, "Host, put away your dangerous thoughts! This is Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! He is a very important figure in this dimension! If you kill him, this dimension will collapse! And he is also..."
Hearing this, Ming Li's expression remained unchanged. She pointed at the monkey behind her and said, "Then make him leave! Tell him to stop following me."
System, "Sorry, I can't do that..."
Ming Li's lips twitched, "If you act crazy again, I'll stuff you in a sack!"
The system, which immediately dared not make a sound, "...".
After running for a long time, Ming Li finally managed to shake off the monkey behind her.
Night soon fell.
Ming Li came to a river.
Seeing Ming Li staring fixedly at the river, the system in the space suddenly had a bad premonition.
As expected, in the next second, it felt a blur before its eyes. When it came to its senses, before it could say anything, it suddenly felt its body lighten.
"Plop—"
The system plunged into the river below.
The dazed system, "...". Who am I? Where am I? What just happened??
Just as the system was confused, it heard its host's incredibly pleasant voice, "Catch two fish."
The system's lips twitched. After splashing in the river twice, it quickly climbed back to the shore.
After shaking off the water, the system cast a mournful glance at Ming Li, then took out a fishing rod from its private stash...
Ming Li sat down leaning against a tree, looking up at the starry night sky, falling into a long silence.
As everyone can see, this time... she transmigrated to the Journey to the West dimension.
The original host this time was named Hua Li, a fox spirit... well, a fox demon...
When she was very young, her parents disappeared. The original host was just a small fox. If it weren't for the kind little demons in the forest taking care of her, she would have died long ago.
Later, the original host grew up and cultivated into a great demon, and then... she was captured.
The ones who captured her were a group of Taoists wearing white robes.
She was taken to a Taoist temple that seemed like a fairyland, locked in a cage. Those Taoists cruelly beat her, dug out her inner core, peeled off her fox skin, and even captured her soul, intending to throw her into a炼丹炉 (liàn dān lú - alchemy furnace) to refine her into some kind of spiritual medicine.
Just when the original host was filled with despair, she was secretly released...
The one who released her was a monkey dressed in a Taoist robe, looking like a human.
Before leaving, she heard the monkey sigh and mutter to himself, "Alas... what a pity, just like those two foxes before, but unfortunately, I couldn't save them back then..."
