"You..."
Upon seeing Wan Chongshan again, Li Xingkong truly didn't know how to approach her.
For the first time, Li Xingkong understood why the protagonists in those online jokes had that exaggerated expression of three parts indifference and three parts mockery; he figured he wasn't much better off now.
"Hey, not bad, you've got a quick and efficient cut. But I see there's still a little bit of the coordinates left. What, are you worried I won't pay you the final installment?"
Wan Chongshan reached out and easily lifted Li Xingkong up, placing him across the table.
"I really didn't expect you to be Guapilong '..."
With a thousand words to say but not knowing where to begin, Li Xingkong organized his thoughts and finally spoke.
"Wouldn't it be so boring if you found out so soon?"
Wan Chongshan snapped his fingers, and a pile of food appeared in front of the two of them.
This table of dishes looks familiar; it was the same meal they had when they first met Guapilong.
"Are you having fun messing with me?"
Li Xingkong out, tore off a piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hehe, I'm really happy. I haven't been this happy in a long time."
Wan Chongshan could barely contain her smile; heaven knows how long she had waited for this moment.
"No way, you have such a twisted sense of humor!"
Although he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, Li Xingkong's strength was completely suppressed by her, and he was unable to move.
Speaking of which, this Wan Chongshan is definitely not Guapi in the current timeline; she is currently waiting for Li Xingkong to return Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds.
With such power, able to manipulate the system at will and access the timeline at will, Wan Chongshan is definitely not Li Xingkong can withstand at this moment.
Her eternal physique was clearly stronger than she had imagined.
"A twisted sense of humor? The Thousand Mountains Method is indeed excellent, but finding an assistant like you is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
Wan Chongshan said with a smile.
Excuses, all just excuses.
This guy is clearly just messing with me.
"Let's put aside the matter of Thousand Mountains Body for now. Now that we know the future trajectory, I have no reason not to intervene."
While Wan Chongshan's perverse sense of humor left Li Xingkong somewhat helpless, the more pressing matter now was to bring over the current Guapilong.
Judging from her experiences in parallel worlds, the things that happened to her were incredibly dramatic.
This shouldn't happen to her; I'm fully capable of protecting her.
He wasn't even powerless to change the fate of the Deep River Dragon Clan; as long as he took action, there was a chance for everything.
"Then guess why you haven't shown up all these years?"
The Wan Chongshan remained unmoved.
Li Xingkong considered all the possibilities before finally fixing his gaze on Wan Chongshan.
"It's you?"
Given that none of the existing factors could guarantee that Li Xingkong would be kept, there was only one way to stop him: Wan Chongshan had to take action personally.
"Hey buddy, you're really smart."
Wan Chongshan smiled, raised his glass, and took a small sip.
"No, what's the point? Knowing full well that my past self was going through this kind of pain, you're trying to stop me from saving her?"
Li Xingkong was a little confused.
"Do you really believe in fate or destiny? Or are you just going to obediently accept that time travel can't change the past?"
"How can you just stand there and watch?"
"Fate? Destiny?"
Wan Chongshan remained calm.
"You could say that, but the player behind this fate is me, my own life. I can decide how she lives it, and that's how she has to live it."
"It was when we first met, it was when we traveled together, and now, it's me who's stopping you from seeing each other."
Fate? It was all predetermined by her.
Why?
Li Xingkong couldn't figure it out. Since this guy had such abilities, why didn't he use them to change everything?
"Hahaha, it's simple. How can she escape the pain I've experienced?"
Wan Chongshan spoke rather cruel words in a seemingly casual manner.
"If her past had changed, do you think I'd still be here?"
"You have that ability, don't you?"
What couldn't she do with such power? Li Xingkong found it hard to imagine why she would do this.
"I do have the ability, but in short, I'm unwilling."
This guy's words are really infuriating; what happened to that well-behaved guy?
"If you're not going, then don't stop me."
Li Xingkong slammed his fist on the table and stood up, intending to use the Chasing Light to escape towards the direction of the Kilometer Arc.
However, before he could even step outside, he realized that time seemed to be flowing backward around him, and he could no longer control his movements; everything was reversing.
Until he returned to the moment he sat down at the table.
What exactly do you want?!
Li Xingkong got angry.
"It's simple, just sit with me for a while."
"Either I drink this two-thousand-year-old tea with you, or you can try to see if your strength can surpass mine in these 2000 years?"
Wan Chongshan waved his hand, and two cups of tea were brewed by himself.
Oh, and this guy too.
She reached into her pocket and rummaged around for a while before pulling the system out.
"This little guy is too outspoken, that won't do. I'll discipline him a bit, and then I'll return him to you."
"No! No! Let me go! I'm going to scream for help!"
The system, which had transformed into a tiny ball of light, struggled for a moment.
"Let me go right now, or my mistress will come out and you'll be sorry! I'm calling for help!"
"Go ahead and scream, scream all you want, let's see who can save you. You don't expect him to come and save you, do you?"
Wan Chongshan glanced at Li Xingkong.
"You..."
This was the first time Li Xingkong had felt so powerless.
"Come, shall we have tea or engage in meditation? You choose."
Wan Chongshan wiped the system on his sleeve and then held it in his hand like a small pet, playing with it wantonly.
"You wait."
Li Xingkong stared intently at Wan Chongshan for a very long time.
In the end, he still chose to cultivate, leaving behind a harsh remark, before turning around and returning to the time acceleration zone he had been in before.
Li Xingkong didn't know what level he could reach in two thousand years of cultivation.
Whether he could overcome the Wan Chongshan, he didn't know, but he did know that drinking tea would never solve the fundamental problem.
Only with strength in hand can we find solutions to problems.
In 2000, with the aid of the time acceleration zone, Li Xingkong had no choice but to gamble everything on this short period of time.
Li Xingkong resolutely walked into the time acceleration zone and found a place to sit down.
Wan Chongshan stared at the cup of tea on the table, which was still warm, his gaze lingering for a moment.
"She really is consistent all along..."
"Hey, you lousy system, I've got a task for you. Do it and I'll let you go."
Wan Chongshan created the system.
"What are you doing? I won't do anything immoral."
The system was starting to panic.
"I won't go against it. It's just a small matter. Come, come, let me tell you..."
