Chapter 176 The System Awakens
Chapter 176 The System Awakens
Long Yuan lay on the cold ground, the pain in his body seemingly insignificant at this moment. He slowly raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. His movements were somewhat stiff, but his eyes were extremely stubborn.
"Sister Ting, what are you saying? It's me, Xiao Yuan!" Long Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was very urgent.
"Oh, just tell me if you're Sister Ting's brother!" Chu Xinyao's voice was clear and crisp, but Long Yuan didn't hear it that way.
Before he could say anything, Chu Xinyao's figure blurred.
When Chu Xinyao recalled that she was still Long Tingting, her body began to undergo subtle changes. The muscles and bones under her skin seemed to be rearranging, and her outline gradually became distorted.
Her face began to blur, then gradually became clear, and finally, Chu Xinyao returned to her original appearance.
Long Yuan's heart raced instantly. He stared intently at Chu Xinyao, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Who are you?!" Long Yuan's voice trembled as he tried to appear calm, but he couldn't hide the shock in his heart.
How did she do that? Countless questions flooded Long Yuan's mind. Moreover, the fact that she could transform into the person in his heart was simply unbelievable.
Long Yuan's gaze was fixed on Chu Xinyao, trying to find clues on her face.
Chu Xinyao did not approach, but stood still, quietly observing Longyuan on the ground.
Long Yuan's face was extremely pale, his lips were stained crimson with blood, and his eyes were icy cold as he lay on the ground.
Chu Xinyao crouched down to be at eye level with Long Yuan. Long Yuan's eyes flashed with wariness as he stared intently at Chu Xinyao, seemingly afraid that she might harm him.
However, Chu Xinyao simply shook her head gently. "City Lord, I know you're confused, but don't worry, I'm not your enemy and I won't hurt you. You just need to tell me, are you Sister Ting's brother?" Her gaze towards Long Yuan was exceptionally earnest.
Sister Ting?
Long Yuan was surprised. Who was this person? How did they know about Long Tingting, an existence that did not belong to the Beast God Continent?
Or can she transform into the person she desires?
But the face she just saw was definitely Long Tingting's!
Long Yuan's expression stiffened slightly, then he gave a bitter smile, feeling that even so, he was willing.
He wanted to see her again, even if it was a fake!
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "How...how did you know about her?"
Seeing that Long Yuan had calmed down, Chu Xinyao walked towards She Mo and the other two. She said softly, "Mo, can you go out first? I have something to say to him."
"Yaoyao," Hu Xiao was the first to lose his composure and said urgently, "We can protect you here!"
"He's my friend's younger brother, he wouldn't hurt me, you guys go out first!" Chu Xinyao said softly, pulling Hu Xiao along.
"Alright, then be careful!" She Mo knew very well that Long Yuan had been attacked by the three strongest ninth-level experts and was now seriously injured, so he couldn't cause any trouble.
“Yes,” Chu Xinyao nodded and smiled, “Thank you, Mo.”
Snake Ink reluctantly led Tiger Roar and the ever-silent Fish Bubble back outside the door.
"Hmph," Tiger Roar flicked his sleeve, displeased, "Snake Ink, you coward, are you that afraid of the Holy City Lord? If something happens to Yao Yao, how are you going to explain yourself?"
She Mo frowned slightly, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Hu Xiao, don't be impulsive. Yao made it very clear that Long Yuan is her friend's younger brother and won't hurt her. Besides, with the three of us here, Long Yuan can't do anything about it. Don't worry, Yao Yao will be fine."
Although Shemo said this, he was still worried. He unconsciously moved closer to the door and listened carefully to the sounds inside the hall.
"Hmph!" Tiger Roar said, but he knew in his heart that Snake Ink made a good point.
He sighed, stopped talking, and just stared intently at the door, waiting for Chu Xinyao to come out.
Fish Bubble remained silent, her eyes filled with worry. After all, Long Yuan was the city lord of the Holy City; who knew what might happen?
He sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I hope the little female can come out soon."
Time passed slowly, and the room fell silent.
Long Yuan and Chu Xinyao sat facing each other, both with serious expressions.
"Tell me first, how do you know Sister Ting?" Long Yuan frowned and asked in a low voice.
Chu Xinyao smiled first, then said, "You still haven't answered me whether you are Long Tingting's brother or not. How can you prove it?"
Long Yuan lowered his head and gave a bitter smile: "There's no point in hiding this, is there? After all, we're not in the same space anymore. Yes, I'm Long Yuan, Long Tingting's younger brother. We're a blended family. She's only three months older than me, so she's still my older sister." He looked at Chu Xinyao, his meaning clear.
It's your turn!
"I do know her! We must be from the same place." It's just that one of us is in another body, and the other is in a soul-swap relationship!
"..." Long Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied, that it was just empty talk.
"Any more?"
"Tell me first, how did you travel through time?" She wouldn't mind giving him a surprise if he performed well.
Long Yuan lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It's because one day, someone suddenly appeared in the company..." He organized his thoughts and began again:
"You know about zombies, right? A zombie-like monster suddenly appeared in our company. It would bite anyone it saw. I was careless and lost my footing while trying to dodge it, and I fell down the stairs. Then, when I woke up, this is what I looked like."
It was indeed similar to what she had thought, except that he had actually traveled from before the apocalypse.
"That was at the time when the apocalypse was coming. I met Sister Ting four years into the apocalypse, in a place called the White Tiger Base."
……
It's the apocalypse!
When Long Yuan learned that Long Tingting was still as powerful as ever in the apocalypse, he finally smiled.
"Now, Sister Ting is my system."
? !
"What?" Long Yuan's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.
Suppressing his discomfort, he stood up, stared at Chu Xinyao, and said coldly, "What did you do to her?"
Chu Xinyao spread her hands innocently and said, "I didn't do anything. There was an explosion at the base, and then I woke up here. Sister Ting has already become my system."
"System, what system?"
Chu Xinyao suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "Childbirth System."
Childbearing system?
Long Yuan frowned. It seemed that Chu Xinyao, the renowned "Child-Giving Goddess," had become who she was today by relying on his sister Ting.
"How is she now? Can I talk to her?"
"Not now, the system is upgrading, Sister Ting is asleep, oh..."
Long Yuan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but Chu Xinyao's next words gave him a pleasant surprise.
"Sister Ting, you're awake!"
