The System Causes Trouble Again

Night fell quickly, and the cave was illuminated only by the campfire at its center.

Xiao Yi Xian curled up beside the fire, poking at the flames with a wooden stick, though her mind was clearly elsewhere.

She lifted her head slightly and glanced toward a corner of the cave.

Hmph!

Xiao Yi Xian let out a soft, indignant huff before tossing the stick into the fire.

"Hmph! Is that woman really so charming? You've been staring at her for an hour without blinking, and it's still not enough!"

Ever since Xiao Lei had carried that mysterious woman back, he had remained motionless in that spot for over an hour.

Xiao Lei had no way to explain anything to Xiao Yi Xian, nor was there any need to.

"Young Master, please have something to eat first!"

Qing Lin, on the other hand, didn't mind at all—or perhaps she was just a bit slow-witted, as she had no particular thoughts about the mysterious woman Xiao Lei had brought back.

After all, she herself had only spoken two sentences to Xiao Lei before being taken away by him, so seeing Yun Yun didn't strike her as strange.

Qing Lin is so sensible! Xiao Lei felt very gratified.

However, Xiao Lei did not turn his head. He simply took the dry rations Qing Lin handed him and began to eat, his gaze never leaving Yun Yun; he didn't even dare to look down at his food.

This was the shortcoming of the system. Staring at someone sounded simple, but the target couldn't engage in any major activity, otherwise, Xiao Lei could never guarantee he would be able to keep his eyes on them.

Looking back at Xiao Lei's many previous copies, he had almost always chosen times when the target was unable to move. The only time it had been a close call was when he copied the mercenary, and he had nearly gotten beaten up.

"Young Master, why don't you go get some rest? Qing Lin will keep watch for you!"

Xiao Lei had been sitting there motionless for over an hour, and having suffered such heavy injuries earlier, Qing Lin was worried he wouldn't be able to hold up.

Qing Lin was just that sensible, always caring for Xiao Lei!

"No need, Qing Lin. Go prepare some hot water; it should be useful in a moment!"

Xiao Lei still didn't turn his head, merely giving the instruction to Qing Lin.

[Copy time remaining: 3 hours and 20 minutes.]

Everything had only just begun!

Xiao Lei muttered to himself. The discomfort caused by the copying process was cumulative. Based on his experience copying Xiao Zhan back then, the impact of this five-hour copy would not be small.

Fortunately, Xiao Lei had prepared medicinal pills to deal with the current situation!

Of course, not the so-called "potions" from a certain old man.

"Oh, oh, okay!"

Qing Lin didn't know why Xiao Lei needed hot water in the middle of the night, but she hurried to do as she was told.

As for Xiao Yi Xian, she moved silently to Xiao Lei's side and, imitating his posture, sat down in front of Yun Yun.

"Xiao Lei, how did this woman get so badly injured? Could she be the one who caused the chaos earlier?"

Even hidden inside the cave, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had heard the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the sounds of the massive battle.

Xiao Lei naturally understood what Xiao Yi Xian really wanted to ask, so he simply said, "There are only so many Dou Emperor powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, and even fewer women. The only one who fits the description is the current Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect—Yun Yun!"

"However, keep this a secret for now, and do not reveal her identity."

Xiao Yi Xian was startled upon hearing this. The Misty Cloud Sect was like a legend in Green Mountain Town, to say nothing of its Sect Master!

Thinking of this, the once-bright eyes of Xiao Yi Xian dimmed slightly.

Although Xiao Lei wasn't looking at her, he understood Xiao Yi Xian's internal struggle perfectly.

"Rest assured, in two years at most, I will be able to give you a cultivation base even stronger than hers. Her talent cannot compare to yours!"

Xiao Lei was speaking the truth. Yun Yun's talent wasn't actually that high; it was only later, after she had a fortuitous encounter in the Central Plains and received the help of the current Flower Sect leader, that she became a Dou Zun, eventually reaching the level of an eight-star Dou Zun through the transfer of the other's Dou Qi. At that time, Xiao Yan was only a nine-star Dou Zun.

In Xiao Lei's view, relying on her own talent, she might never have become a Dou Saint before death. But since Xiao Lei had transmigrated, everything had become an unknown variable; the storm stirred by the butterfly's wings would only grow larger.

Another few dozen minutes passed, and the previously quiet Yun Yun suddenly stirred.

Her brows, which had been relaxed, were now knit together, and large beads of sweat began to slowly emerge on her forehead.

Qing Lin, being very sensible, quickly brought over the freshly boiled hot water, took out a handkerchief, dipped it in, and wiped the sweat from Yun Yun's forehead.

After another few dozen minutes, Yun Yun's reactions became even more intense—well, that was one way to describe it!

"Mmm!"

A soft moan escaped Yun Yun's lips, making Xiao Lei jump.

The system was acting up again!

Xiao Lei cursed the system in his heart.

Xiao Yi Xian was actually quite young and hadn't been exposed to certain knowledge, but her ears turned inexplicably red upon hearing that sound.

Following that, the woman's legs began to rub together restlessly.

A pair of long, fair, slender legs were swaying back and forth right in front of Xiao Lei, and he could only recite "Amitabha" in his heart.

Of course, there was no way he was going to look away!

Not for any other reason! If I move away, won't the replication fail!

That is exactly how it is!

"Xiao Lei, what is wrong with her?"

It was just that Xiao Yi Xian had never been exposed to certain knowledge, so seeing Yun Yun's strange behavior now, she also felt something was off.

"Uh, perhaps she was traumatized by the Amethyst Winged Lion King and is having a nightmare while asleep!"

Xiao Lei brushed her off casually, his eyes remaining fixed without blinking!

This situation continued for a while longer, and during this process, Yun Yun's breathing grew increasingly heavy!

"Haa, haa!"

Xiao Lei told himself that it was only because his own willpower was strong; otherwise, he would have already made a move. It absolutely had nothing to do with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, who were staring just as intently.

Xiao Yi Xian's gaze became increasingly strange, not just when looking at Yun Yun, but also when looking at Xiao Lei.

Why was this woman making such strange sounds, and why had Xiao Lei suddenly become so tense, even unconsciously straightening his sitting posture?

"Xiao Lei, what is this commotion about? Why is she... uh, why is she making such strange sounds, and why is her breathing like she's engaged in intense exercise?"

There were many questions in Xiao Yi Xian's little head.

"Uh, you might know in the future, but don't be curious for now. Children shouldn't pry into adult matters!"

Hmph! She isn't even older than me! Acting like an adult!

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian let out a soft huff and said nothing more.

However, Yun Yun seemed unsatisfied with the current state of affairs.

A voice suddenly appeared, a delicate and shy tone that nearly killed Xiao Lei on the spot.

"Young Master, this big sister's body is so hot! What should we do!"

Qing Lin touched Yun Yun's palm and felt a scorching heat radiating from it.

Xiao Lei felt helpless; the two beside him were both novices who had absolutely no understanding of certain fields, making it difficult for him to explain.

"This... uh, it's just a normal reaction. It will subside in a while, so don't worry about it. Give her another one of the medicinal pills I just gave you!"

Seeing Yun Yun's intense reaction, Xiao Lei was also getting worried. If she were to suddenly wake up and see the three of them staring at her like this, the scene would likely be...

Qing Lin felt that her little head was also reaching its limit!

The person was burning up like this, so how could Young Master say it was normal!

However, just as Qing Lin fed the medicinal pill to Yun Yun, the latter showed no signs of restraint, instead moving her hands directly toward the clothes on her chest!

"Hey, you can't! You mustn't!"
