This System Is Actually Five Hundred Years Ahead of Schedule!

"???"

Qin Yang was stunned when he heard the system prompt in his mind.

An Empress?

What the hell? It was even telling him to kneel and take her as his master? Qin Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl before him uncertainly.

Her looks were naturally beyond question—an off-the-charts twelve out of ten. If they walked down the street together, they would definitely be a handsome man and beautiful woman, turning every head along the way.

But...

What did that have to do with an Empress? Could this Dog System really be trying to screw him over on purpose? Just as Qin Yang stood there in confusion, a light screen suddenly appeared in his mind.

Name: Li Zixuan Age: 516 Cultivation: Peak Emperor Venerable Realm Martial Arts: Taiyin Sword Dao True Explanation, Dragon Slaying Sword Art...

Remaining Lifespan: Five thousand years

???

Lines of panel notifications appeared one after another, leaving Qin Yang dizzy and terrified.

WTF, it was for real?!

Could this girl really be some kind of Empress? At that thought, Qin Yang could no longer sit still.

Not because being an Empress mattered.

He simply remembered the Dog System's previous requirement: stepping on a cockroach to death had earned him a massive reward.

If he really succeeded in taking her as his master this time, wouldn't he receive an even more absurd boost?!

At that thought, Qin Yang immediately understood.

He decisively strode forward, intending to ask for her name.

After all, taking a master was a major matter. He had to confirm it one more time.

What if he took the wrong person as his master? That would be hilarious.

Of course.

Losing face was not a problem.

In this world where star beasts ran rampant, what did losing a little face matter? Strength was the greatest foundation.

If taking a master could net him rewards, there was no reason to turn it down!

Qin Yang strode toward the girl with an imposing bearing, his posture calm and composed.

When Xia He saw this, his mouth fell open. He froze where he stood, as though his brain's CPU was about to burn out.

Huh??? Where was Lao Qin going?

He was just going straight for her? Who gave him the courage?! Xia He could not understand it, but he was deeply shaken!

Was this really the Lao Qin he knew? Could it be that the silent gourd was finally getting a clue today?!

Xia He realized that he understood this buddy less and less.

While Xia He was still shocked.

Some of the more curious people in the library noticed the scene as well. Qin Yang was already exceptionally eye-catching with that face of his, and the girl reading was no less attractive.

The handsome man and beautiful woman had come together, immediately becoming the center of attention in the library.

"Hey, look, isn't that the handsome administrator from the first floor?"

"What is he doing? Why is he heading toward that girl?"

"He's so handsome. Don't tell me he's going to hit on her? I was planning to ask for his number in a few days."

Whispers kept drifting over, every single word reaching Qin Yang's ears.

With his Innate Realm level of cultivation, he could hear them clearly.

So all he felt now was a burst of agitation.

Once word of this got out, wouldn't everyone in the library know about it? This would be an utterly catastrophic social death!

But the arrow was already on the bowstring.

There was no backing out now.

"Damn it, Dog System. Once I get stronger, I'm definitely going to set you straight!"

Qin Yang gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

But his body was honest.

He had already taken three steps as two and arrived at the girl's table.

Only upon getting closer did Qin Yang realize that the girl was even prettier than she had appeared from afar.

Her skin was like creamy jade, her chest was spectacularly full, and she had a delicate nose and little mouth... She was practically the perfect icy beauty.

Her aura was just a little too cold.

Like a sharp, cold sword sheathed within a Sword Box, she seemed capable of keeping people a thousand miles away.

"No wonder all the seats within a few meters of her are empty."

Qin Yang glanced at the surrounding seats and understood why.

"Ahem..."

Qin Yang coughed lightly a few times, immediately drawing the girl's attention.

She raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Qin Yang, and said nothing.

The atmosphere instantly sank into silence.

It was as if time itself had frozen.

"Um..."

Seeing this, Qin Yang's mind raced as he considered how to start the conversation.

But then he thought about it—he was not here to hit on her...

Why was he overthinking it? So he got straight to the point. "Miss, sorry to disturb you, but may I ask your name?"

The moment he finished speaking.

A wave of sharp inhales came from all around.

The bystanders watching them all began anticipating what would happen next.

When Xia He saw this from afar, he secretly gave a thumbs-up, inwardly shouting that Lao Qin was awesome.

"What kind of move is this? He actually dared to hit on her like that? I really never saw this coming from him!"

At the same time.

After Qin Yang spoke, the girl did not answer. Instead, she frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashing through her heart.

She was somewhat surprised by Qin Yang's question.

What kind of outdated pickup line was that? She had had some bold admirers at the Martial Arts Academy before.

But someone as direct as Qin Yang was truly a first.

This situation had genuinely left her at a loss.

While the girl hesitated.

Seeing that she was not speaking, Qin Yang felt somewhat awkward as well. He could only shift his gaze to the student ID on her table.

Name: Li Zixuan Age: 16

School: Jianghai Martial Arts Academy

After scanning it for just a few seconds, Qin Yang memorized the information.

Good, her name was indeed the same as the system prompt! The Empress mentioned by the system really was the girl in front of him.

Qin Yang stared at the student ID, his thoughts wandering.

A slender, fair hand suddenly reached out and covered the student ID.

At the sight, Qin Yang's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively withdrew his gaze, then looked up and met the girl's eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Li Zixuan frowned tightly and asked impatiently.

Her cold gaze swept back and forth over Qin Yang, faintly carrying a hint of irritation.

Qin Yang immediately understood that she was angry.

What he had just done was indeed somewhat inappropriate, so he hurriedly pointed to the work badge on his chest and explained:

"Miss, sorry. I'm a library administrator. These past few days, someone borrowed books and didn't return them. They won't answer their phone either, so I'm searching the entire library for them. I apologize for offending you."

After hearing him out, Li Zixuan's brows relaxed slightly.

Thinking about it carefully, this man had not actually said anything inappropriate.

He had merely come over to ask her name.

It did not seem like he had any ill intent.

Why should she get angry at a mere library administrator? At that thought, Li Zixuan shook her head. "It's fine. Your work is hard too. I understand."

"Alright, alright. I'm truly sorry. I won't disturb you any longer, miss."

Qin Yang pressed his palms together in apology and backed away, leaving the girl's field of vision.

But his heart was far from calm.

"The student ID clearly says she's sixteen. Why does the system say she's five hundred and sixteen?"

"Could it be... that the system is actually five hundred years ahead of the timeline?!"

In an instant, a shocking thought flashed through Qin Yang's mind.
