"So what exactly is it? Is it absolutely necessary for me to do it? You're so strong, is there anything you can't do?"
As Li Xingkong chose his Dragon Gate, the system and Wan Chongshan, located outside the time acceleration zone, were having a "friendly" exchange.
"Why are you talking so much, little guy? You're mine now, so just be a good boy and do whatever I say."
Wan Chongshan petted the system as if it were a petting pet, stroking it all over.
"Okay, okay, I promise, I promise."
The system was powerless against her harassment; it never imagined it would face such a day.
"Alright, listen up. What I want you to do is simple: make this guy break down once, and I'll set you free."
Wan Chongshan pointed at Li Xingkong, a sly glint in his eyes.
"No, you... I..."
The system really hadn't expected that what she was talking about was this kind of thing.
"Simple, leave it to me!"
I thought it was something else, but it turns out it just wanted Li Xingkong to break through his defenses once. That's easy. I've watched this guy grow up since he was a child. He knows exactly what he likes and dislikes.
Getting this guy to break down even once won't be a simple task.
"I need you to go now, quickly."
Wan Chongshan flicked her wrist, sending the system into the time acceleration zone.
"No, no way! This won't do!!!"
The system let out a mournful howl, traced an arc, and crashed headfirst into Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong is usually quite easy to manipulate, but the problem is that he is currently in seclusion for cultivation. Trying to interrupt his cultivation at this time is extremely difficult.
The system hesitated for a moment.
It looked up at Li Xingkong, who was cultivating, and then back at Wan Chongshan, who was smiling but hiding a knife. After thinking it over, it swallowed.
My life is more important, my life is more important!
It circled Li Xingkong a few times, re-establishing the connection between them, and then greeted Li Xingkong with a deeply guilty tone.
Are you there?
These words sounded so guilty, they didn't even seem to come from its mouth.
However, Li Xingkong remained completely silent, as if he had gone offline.
"I said, I need to talk to you!"
The system, unconvinced, shouted again.
Still no movement.
"Hey, this guy."
The system used a sliver of its power to probe Li Xingkong's current state.
Soon, the system, having finished its investigation, couldn't help but stick out its tongue. Wasn't this just making things difficult for it?
Perhaps because of the Wan Chongshan, or perhaps because of the system in front of him, Li Xingkong truly devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation this time, without diverting even a fraction of his attention to dealing with the outside world.
In other words, to outsiders, there's not much difference between Li Xingkong and dead.
Can Li Xingkong be disturbed in this state? From the perspective of the system and Wan Chongshan, there is a way, but generally speaking, this method will absolutely not be used.
Forcing him to contact you at this time will only cause him to break out of his current high-speed mental state, thus interrupting his normal cultivation rhythm.
Obstructing someone's cultivation is a major taboo. Although the system is like a mother hen to Li Xingkong, he still can't do this kind of thing.
The system circled around Li Xingkong a few times, its peripheral vision casually sweeping over the Wan Chongshan.
"Anyway, she said to go now, but she didn't say it has to be done now, so why not..."
The system seemed to have realized something, and then the entire ball of light seemed to lose its focus, circling around Li Xingkong, calling out "Are you there? Are you there?" repeatedly.
That's right, calling out now doesn't mean waking up now.
Anyone can dawdle and procrastinate.
"I'm saying, you're doing this right under my nose, do you really think I can't see it?"
Wan Chongshan's figure appeared, and then a large hand grasped it.
"Now, either you complete the task I gave you, or I'll break it down into eighteen pieces. You choose."
It was as if Wan Chongshan had locked it in place; with a mere flick of her wrist, she managed to pull the system out.
"I... I can't do it."
The system hesitated for a moment, then suddenly closed its eyes and made a snap decision.
It's better to send it back to the factory for a fresh start than to put it in this kind of job.
Aren't you afraid of me?
Wan Chongshan's hand swept across its ball of light, and a chilling sharpness instantly filled the system's mind.
If that happens, it will really be torn apart by chariots.
"No... I'm not afraid!"
His voice was already trembling, but the system still managed to utter those two words.
"Do you think that once I destroy you, I can just revive you? If I were to do it, you wouldn't have that chance."
Wan Chongshan continued his threat.
"That won't do either, I won't."
Having come this far, can the system possibly go back on its word?
"Alright, alright, then I'll show you what's what."
Wan Chongshan pointed, and the system closed its eyes in fear.
The law called Severing swept across, cutting everything around the system in two.
Centered on their laboratory, a massive rift appeared directly on the continent.
The system thought it had also split in two, and within half a day, it had even written its will.
But after a long time, there still seemed to be no movement, so the system opened its eyes and looked around.
He was completely unharmed, without even a scratch.
"Hmph, with that kind of ambition, you're worthy of him. Get lost."
Wan Chongshan glanced at the system, then tossed it aside.
The system had initially thought it was doomed, but now it seemed that Wan Chongshan had given up on attacking it.
These words and actions seemed more like a test.
It was like testing whether he was worthy of Li Xingkong.
Just kidding, I'm a system, specially designed to help the host, how could I not be worthy of it?
"Hehe, thank you for sparing my life, senior."
The system put on a smile, but it was already internally complaining.
Once Li Xingkong has managed to take down this guy, he'll have Li Xingkong help him kick her a couple of times.
System revenge is never too late!
"Stop talking nonsense, go help him out. Your cultivation pool has plenty of good stuff. If this doesn't satisfy me, I'll go get it myself."
Although Wan Chongshan spoke calmly, it was clear that the system was quite frightened.
After all, as a system, it had been lording it over others for half its life, and it had never seen such treatment before.
