The system took a long time to respond: "The system cannot make a definite judgment on this matter.
"At present, it is fine if you passively defeat Ye Xuan, but it is not recommended that you take the initiative.
"After all, if the plot collapses to a certain extent, it may still trigger another reincarnation."
Xu Chen rubbed his forehead. Right, a dog system was still a dog system.
He should just honestly play the villain. Besides, Ye Xuan might not necessarily be able to beat him senseless.
Thus, he snatched Huo Ling'er's Ring of Holding. "Hand it over."
He took out all the good things inside the Ring of Holding, then tossed the ring back to her.
He did the same to everyone else.
For a time, several Third- and Fourth-Rank spirit herbs were added to Xu Chen's Ring of Holding.
The people from Fire Dao Academy were on the verge of tears. The spirit herbs they had worked so hard to find were gone just like that.
Wuwuwu, the people of the demonic path and Xu Chen were all beasts!
Huo Ling'er said shyly, "Y-you took my intimate clothing."
Xu Chen was dumbfounded. After checking, he found a red bellyband inside his Ring of Holding.
He looked somewhat embarrassed. "Misunderstanding, it was completely a misunderstanding. I grabbed things randomly in the heat of the moment."
With that, he tossed the thing back to Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er's face flushed red. "Actually, if you like it, I can give you my clothes."
Xu Chen: "..."
Give it to your sister!
Could you act normal? I'm freaking robbing you!
The corner of Duanmu Xin's mouth twitched. Had Huo Ling'er's character collapsed this absurdly?
Wait, could Huo Ling'er have awakened her memories too?
I'll have to ask her later. Otherwise, this is far too hard to explain.
Xu Chen searched through the Ring of Holding and, after confirming there were no more of Huo Ling'er's personal belongings, nodded.
"Don't tell your dean or elders about this, or I'll beat you until you cry."
Xu Chen said viciously, following his villain persona.
It was like some certain scene: Spend tonight with me, and don't tell your parents!
Huo Ling'er smiled sweetly. "Okay, I won't. Today, it was you who saved us, Junior Brother."
Then she turned around and looked coldly at the Fire Dao Academy disciples. "Isn't that right?"
The Fire Dao Academy disciples: "..."
Big sis, are you one of his people or one of our academy's?
In the end, they yielded beneath Huo Ling'er's authority. "Yes, yes, Senior Sister is right."
Huo Ling'er smiled sweetly again. "Brother Chen, is there anything else you want to instruct us on?"
Xu Chen pinched his chin. "Work harder later. Find some more Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures, and give them all to me when you do."
What excellent tools! He would feel sorry for Huo Ling'er if he didn't use them.
Duanmu Xin clicked her tongue nearby. As expected of Brother Chen.
He had been so black-bellied in his past life, and he was just as black-bellied in this one!
Huo Ling'er smiled. "Okay."
Xu Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Go on. When the main group gathers, just hand everything over to me."
With that, Xu Chen leaped away from the area.
He still had other places to rob. He was very busy.
Huo Ling'er gazed reluctantly in the direction Xu Chen had left, her beautiful eyes overflowing with tenderness.
Only after Xu Chen had been gone for quite a while did she withdraw her gaze.
Her fiery temper showed itself once more. "All of you, go find spirit herbs for me! If you can't find any, the Fire Spirit Whip will serve you."
Boom!
As she spoke, flames rose around Huo Ling'er once again, and her Mid-stage Third Rank aura was fully revealed.
The dozen or so Fire Dao Academy disciples were immediately on the verge of tears. They had it so hard.
With that, they all set off to search for spirit herbs.
Only then did Duanmu Xin slowly step out.
The two women spotted each other at once, and a sharp gleam flickered in their eyes.
"Duanmu Xin!"
"Huo Ling'er!"
The instant they saw each other, their fighting intent surged to the heavens.
Huo Ling'er said coldly, "So it was you who lured our elder away just now?"
Duanmu Xin grinned. "It was me. Huo Ling'er, let me ask you—did you awaken your memories?"
Huo Ling'er's heart jolted. Could she be one too?
Huo Ling'er immediately asked, "Did you also reincarnate ninety-nine times?"
Upon hearing that, Duanmu Xin became utterly certain of the truth. "Yes. But no matter what your intentions are, you are not allowed to get close to Xu Chen."
Huo Ling'er flew into a rage. "You Demonic Cult Enchantress, were you good to Brother Chen in the past life? You nearly crippled him."
A trace of guilt flashed through Duanmu Xin's eyes. "That was before. Now, I only want to protect him."
Huo Ling'er sneered. "Who would believe that?"
Duanmu Xin sneered as well. "As if I believe you."
The two women snorted coldly at the same time. "Xu Chen is mine."
In the end, Duanmu Xin smiled. "Then let our abilities decide it. There may be more than one heroine competing with you and me."
Huo Ling'er also realized this problem. "Heh, then we'll see whose methods are better."
She could stay close to Xu Chen whenever she wanted, but Duanmu Xin could not.
She was certain to win.
PS: Please give me some data!!!
At that moment, Duanmu Xin shrugged. "Still, I suggest we join forces."
Huo Ling'er sneered. "How do we join forces?"
Duanmu Xin gestured with her lips. "You saw it yourself. Li Ruoling, Chi Lian, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Hong have all arrived."
Huo Ling'er said helplessly, "I know. Every one of them clings to Xu Chen. Even the Palace Lord seems to have some issues."
Duanmu Xin asked curiously, "What did your Palace Lord do?"
Huo Ling'er said, "She desperately wanted to take Xu Chen as her disciple, but Xu Chen refused."
Duanmu Xin said speechlessly, "Understandable... After all, Xu Chen is only interested in Li Ruoling."
For ninety-nine lives, Xu Chen had crazily fawned over Li Ruoling.
Unfortunately, every time, Li Ruoling had ambushed him in the end and stabbed him to death with a single sword.
They were all speechless. What kind of trash plot had the original author written? It made them want to throw up.
Huo Ling'er snorted coldly. "That bitch Li Ruoling got all the benefits. This time, we must stop her."
Duanmu Xin said with satisfaction, "You only need to pass information to this Saintess. If you need this Saintess's help, just tell me."
With that, Duanmu Xin tossed a jade pendant to Huo Ling'er.
The jade contained her condensed blood essence. Huo Ling'er only needed to focus on spiritual energy to communicate with her.
Huo Ling'er nodded blandly. "Mm, fine."
Hearing that, Duanmu Xin's red lips curved into a perfect arc, and then her body turned into black smoke and vanished.
She was going to follow Xu Chen.
After all, according to the plot, Xu Chen was about to be beaten senseless by Ye Xuan.
Could she allow such a thing to happen? Absolutely not.
