Chapter 326 The System is a Kind of Little Monster
Xue Lan, Wu Yijun, and the others hurried along and finally arrived at the entrance of Seven Butterfly Valley before midnight.
Although Seven Butterfly Valley restricts entry and exit times, it is not closed off. When Xue Lan and the others arrived, the entrance to the valley was already crowded with people waiting to enter.
There are mysterious rogue cultivators, as well as all sorts of mountain spirits and demons.
A large, bustling crowd broke the silence of the dense forests in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
"I made it just in time! I thought I was going to be late!" Xue Tong gasped for breath and looked back at Yin Meng, whom she was holding hands with.
The butterfly boy hunched over, supporting himself on his knees as he gasped for breath, occasionally letting out a heart-wrenching cough that looked as if he were coughing up his lungs.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't fly like that." Xue Tong looked at Yin Meng, her face turning pale in an instant.
The boy waved to the girl, trying to comfort her.
But his throat was so itchy that the boy couldn't utter a single word and could only cough incessantly.
Xue Lan patted the boy on the back: "He's fine, he's just a bit weak because he's a half-demon."
A pale golden light appeared at the woman's fingertips and slowly landed beneath the boy.
Yin Meng's coughing gradually subsided and stopped shortly afterward.
Wu Yijun raised an eyebrow at Xue Lan: "Miss Xue, you also know medicine?"
Xue Lan jokingly said, "After being controlled by Shi Shi for so long, you should learn a thing or two."
Yin Meng stopped coughing, but the boy's voice was still a little hoarse. He slowly spoke:
"Little Tong, this isn't your fault. I promised you I'd be faster. I just didn't expect..."
I didn't expect Xue Tong to be so fast, and she didn't even put up any protective gear in front of me.
The counter-current wind was about to choke Yin Meng, who was barely stronger than an ordinary person.
Xue Tong clasped her hands together, her eyes full of apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll treat you to candy."
Just as Yin Meng was about to refuse, she saw the girl walk up to Xue Lan and put her hand inside Xue Lan's sleeve.
Yin Meng dared not speak. The boy clutched his still uncomfortable chest and watched as Xue Tong pulled several small pouches out of Xue Lan's sleeve.
When Xue Tong reached Yin Meng, her eyes sparkled: "What kind of candy do you want?"
As she spoke, she opened one purse after another: "The osmanthus sugar was bought at the Qinglin City dock; it's quite sweet. The hawthorn candy was bought in a small border town in the Dayong Dynasty. The town there is full of hawthorn trees..."
The boy carefully took the small piece of candy from Xue Tong's hand, glancing at Xue Lan as he did so.
Xue Lan looked at the people around her: "Am I some kind of scary person?"
Lin Su and Wu Yijun remained silent, while Lu Feng bravely stepped forward:
"Isn't it?"
Xue Lan remained silent, then smiled gently and nodded to Yin Meng: "Eat up, this is Xue Tong's food."
The boy then put the round hawthorn candy into his mouth.
A sour and astringent taste begins to spread on the tip of the tongue, which then transforms into a delightful, slightly sweet flavor.
Xue Tong looked at the faint smile on the boy's face and asked the question that had always been of great curiosity to her:
"Xiao Meng, what kind of butterfly are you?"
The boy paused for a moment upon hearing the sound, a look of confusion appearing on his face.
After a moment, the boy shook his head at Xue Tong: "I'm sorry, Miss Tong, it's not that I don't want to tell you, I don't even know what kind of butterfly I am."
"Huh?" Xue Tong was somewhat surprised: "The Heavy Gu Village is right next to Seven Butterfly Valley, you didn't know?"
The boy slowly shook his head: "Actually, the Gu Master took me to see the ruler of Seven Butterfly Valley. She said at the time that my identity was very special."
"They also said that when the time comes, I will know for myself."
Xue Tong thought to herself, "If all else fails, show me his wings. I refuse to believe my database doesn't know what kind of butterfly he is."
However, Xue Tong is now a person who knows how to behave.
Although she knew that Yin Meng was not a demon from any of the major demon clan forces.
However, it would be too presumptuous to ask to see someone's original form after only a few days of meeting.
She is already uniquely unconventional in this world, and we cannot continue to be so presumptuous.
Yin Meng watched as the subtle expressions on Xue Tong's face changed continuously, and the boy timidly spoke:
"What kind of monster is Miss Xiaotong?"
Xue Tong was stunned.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked about your original self!" Yin Meng quickly apologized upon seeing the expression on Xue Tong's face.
"No, stop, stop, I was just thinking about it." Xue Tong quickly waved her hand, apologizing to Yin Meng.
The girl looked into Yin Meng's eyes and said earnestly, "I am a little monster called a system that lives in the void."
Xue Lan, who was standing to the side, almost bit her tongue.
Looking at the serious expression on Yin Meng's face, Xue Tong continued, "Our system has lived in the void since its inception. If we want to come out, we have to make a contract with someone."
Xue Tong pointed at Xue Lan: "The reason I was able to come out is because I established a contract with my elder sister."
Yin Meng spoke softly, "I don't think I've ever heard of such a monster."
Xue Tong's smile froze, but she forced herself to continue making things up.
A deep sadness welled up in the girl's beautiful eyes.
"Because I have been in the void for many years and have not encountered anyone willing to form a contract with my race... I am the last system of my race."
I'm sorry, Master System, I'm sorry, Number One, I'm sorry, Grandpa Number Three...
I'm so sorry everyone, I'm so sorry!
Xue Lan tapped the main system in her mind: "Have you ever hit her?"
The main system remains silent.
Xue Lan continued her obnoxious act: "Why don't you fight?"
The main system remained silent...
After verbally annihilating his entire clan, Xue Tong racked his brains and used the database in his mind to create a magnificent reconstruction of his own clan.
In the end, she told a story that even Xue Lan applauded, leaving the innocent little butterfly completely bewildered.
After the story ended, midnight arrived.
A drawn-out shout came from the crowd not far away: "Midnight has arrived, fellow Daoists, please enter the valley!"
"Miss Xiaotong, we should go in now." Yin Meng smiled at Xue Tong and turned to walk towards the crowd.
"Let's go, we'll catch up too." Wu Yijun said, following Yin Meng's footsteps, until only Xue Lan and Xue Tong remained in the same spot.
Xue Lan smiled and said, "You racked your brains, didn't you?"
Xue Tong nodded slowly: "It wasn't easy."
The two walked slowly forward, when Xue Lan tripped over something halfway through.
"Ouch!" A childish cry of pain came from under her feet. Xue Tong looked down and saw a little kid sitting at Xue Lan's feet.
"child!"
Xue Lan slowly spoke: "Plant spirits."
The woman crouched down, lifted the little boy up, and looked him in the eye: "Whose child are you? Where are your parents?"
The little boy looked at Xue Lan with his big, emerald-green eyes and said, "I got separated from my grandfather."
Just as Xue Tong was about to ask what your grandfather's name was, she heard a weak voice beside her: "Immortal Master..."
"Fairy, fairy..."
Xue Tong looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small old man who only reached Xue Lan's waist.
"Xue Lan!" Xue Lan pointed at the old man:
"His grandfather has arrived."
