Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

The transparent thread meandered forward, causing Qiansui to circle around it curiously: "A thread can find a way? What's the principle..."

Before he finished speaking, the silk thread suddenly extended into many branches, and soon formed a huge net with no end in sight, covering the heads of several people.

Qiansui couldn't help but tease: "What's the matter, are you planning to use this net to catch your own people?"

Sui Guanxian moved his fingertips downward, and the net smashed down from the top of his head to the ground, instantly cutting the area into squares of uniform size. He tapped his forehead with his index finger, and the topography of the entire secret realm was imprinted in his mind.

After a snap of the fingers, countless blocks began to move on their own, creating a spectacular scene.

Looking at the blocks in front of him that rose and fell like the sound wave effects of a music player, the Thousand-Year-Old Black Cat showed an astonished expression on his face: "Oh my god, are you reorganizing this secret realm? If you don't know, you would think you are playing the live-action version of "Minecraft"!"

In just a short while, Lu Jinchao had grown a lot taller, looking like he was about four or five years old. Fortunately, the sect disciple uniform he was wearing was made of special materials and Sui Guanxian cast a spell himself, so it could stretch and contract as his body changed, so he didn't have to worry about having to customize it again.

Although Lu Jinchao didn't know what secret method Sui Guanxian used, he could roughly understand that he probably thought it was too troublesome to explore on his own, and wanted to directly control the entire secret realm and let the treasures come to him.

This is good, as it saves the trouble of collecting materials and finding people to exchange them for treasures.

After a while, a huge stone with a strange shape appeared in front of them. The stone was full of holes, which did not seem to be caused by the wind and sun, but rather by the gnawing of some creature.

The giant block fell heavily to the ground, scaring the thing in the stone. It quickly climbed out with its hands and shouted at the people: "Didn't they say that the door can only be opened once a year? It's not time yet!... Wait a minute, where is this?"

Lu Jinzhao silently took a step back, away from this man who looked like a homeless person on the modern street.

The 'vagrant' pushed aside the messy hair that blocked his vision, then narrowed his eyes and stared at Sui Guanxian for a long while, and suddenly burst into tears: "Master! It's been 20,000 years, I didn't expect to see you again!"

As he said that, he rushed over and tried to hug Sui Guanxian's legs, but unfortunately he was separated by an invisible barrier before he could get close, causing his nose to bleed. He covered his nose and said aggrievedly: "Master, after so many years, you are still so ruthless...嘤嘤嘤."

Sui Guanxian: "Who are you?"

The tramp cried even louder: "Master, I am a nine-headed snake! When I was sleeping at the bottom of a lake in the human world, you thought my snoring was too loud and disturbed your bathing, so you cut off eight of my heads. Later, you used me to make medicine and accidentally made an immortal body, which freed me from the lowest level of demon. Don't you remember?"

“……” Sui Guanxian fell into deep thought.

Not impressed at all.

Seeing the homeless man crawling on the ground with only his upper body left, Qiansui couldn't help but complain: "Are you sure he cut off your head and not your legs?"

'Tramp': "Have you ever seen a snake with legs?"

Qiansui nodded: "That's right... No, do you think I'm stupid? You fairies all have legs when you transform into human form!"

Seeing that he had not fooled the black cat, the 'tramp' spread his hands and said, "My legs were broken by a storm when I passed through the space rift. It was also because of the loss of my legs that my strength was greatly reduced. I have been trapped here for 20,000 years... The flow of time here is unusual, and my life span passes quickly. I was about to use up my life span, but I didn't expect to wait for you, my master! I don't have to die!"

Seeing the 'homeless man' starting to flatter and talk about his blind worship of Sui Guanxian, Lu Jinzhao pulled Sui Guanxian's sleeve and said, "Do you remember this person?"

Sui Guanxian raised his eyebrows: "Would you remember the little bug that you stepped on and killed two years ago?"

"No." Lu Jinzhao shook his head and turned to the 'homeless man': "You said you have been here for 20,000 years, so you have collected all the treasures in this secret land, right?"

Speaking of this, the 'tramp' was somewhat proud: "Of course, I use this to kill time. I also hide my shed scales in various places, waiting for those humans to come in and exchange them with me for treasures. They will bring me a lot of delicious and interesting things, but it's a pity that this secret place can only be opened once a year."

Qiansui put on a speechless expression: "Since the secret door can be opened, why don't you go out with them? Even if you have difficulty moving, just let them take you."

The homeless man pointed at the strange rock he had been living on before and said angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? If it weren't for this broken rock sealing me, I would be bounced back as soon as I got close to the barrier, and I would have been able to crawl out!"

Seeing the two people, one big and one small, several feet away from him, the 'vagrant' reacted belatedly, and used a spell to clean himself up, turning into a handsome and graceful male snake spirit. He then shook out all the treasures in his sleeves and piled them in front of Sui Guanxian, then flattered him, "Master, please accept these."

As the saying goes, if someone shows kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Sui Guanxian only glanced at the pile of things on the ground and easily guessed the purpose of Hydra's move. He chuckled and said, "You want me to help you rebuild your immortal body?"

The Hydra nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I beg the master to show his power again and help me regain my life!"

Sui Guanxian didn't say anything, and asked the little disciple to accept the treasures, then turned around and left, fanning himself. Lu Jinchao followed him calmly, counting the treasures he had just obtained. Although he didn't know what happened, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Sui Guanxian taking the reward and refusing to help. It was definitely the Hydra that had a problem.

How could my daughter be wrong?

The two had not walked far when they heard Qiansui shouting from behind: "Wow - Brother Chao, help me!"

Lu Jinzhao subconsciously turned around, paused, unsheathed both swords, and pointed directly at the source of the sound.

The Hydra grabbed Qiansui's neck with one hand and held the sea beast egg with the other hand. Danfeng's eyes showed a cruel look: "Sui Guanxian, if you insist on not saving me, these two little guys will be buried with me!"

Lu Jinzhao sent two long swords straight towards the Hydra's vital point, but the Hydra grew four new arms on its sides, and it crawled quickly on the ground like a human spider, easily dodging the attack of the flying swords.

Qiansui was dizzy from the shaking, but he still couldn't help complaining: "No, buddy, you look so disgusting, you are not called Hydra so you have one head and eight arms??? You even have eyes on your arms, help me, I want to vomit..."

Seeing Lu Jinzhao fighting with the Hydra, Sui Guanxian simply floated in the air, pinched a cloud over, and lay on his side in the soft cloud. He poured himself a glass of wine and said to his disciple, "You will have to stay here for a full month before you can reach adulthood. It has at most half a month left to live. You will outlive it to death even if you wait."

Lu Jinzhao replied distractedly: "Do you remember what happened between you two?"

Sui Guan took a sip of wine leisurely and said, "I'll tell you when you defeat it."

The Hydra's four arms crawled on the ground, two of them held Qiansui and the sea beast egg, and only two of them were left to fight with Lu Jinchao. Although his strength had greatly decreased, he was once an immortal body, and it was not something that could be easily taken down by the spiritual wisdom stage.

However, Lu Jinchao is not an ordinary three-year-old child after all. He possesses excellent skills and knows magic. Under the attack of the artifact-level flying sword, he was able to fight back and forth with the Hydra.

It seems that Hydra is indeed facing the end of its lifespan and is becoming weaker and weaker with each battle.

Lu Jinzhao became more and more excited as the battle went on. He summoned several other flying swords, ready to find the Hydra's weakness and take it down with one blow.

The Hydra had no choice but to throw the sea beast egg and Chitose into the strange-shaped stone, hoping to focus on dealing with the little kid. Who would have thought that the next second, the black cat disappeared with the sea beast egg in his arms and went straight through the stone.

Qiansui flew back to Sui Guanxian holding the sea beast egg, stuck out his pink cat tongue, and began to speak in a sarcastic tone: "Didn't expect that? I saw that the sea beast egg was in your hand, so I let you catch me on purpose~ My only weakness is not in myself, and it's useless for you to take me hostage~"

Lu Jinchao had not used any moves with too much lethality because he was worried about hurting Qiansui and the sea beast egg. Now that the two little guys were safe, he started to use his big moves on the spot, preparing to kill the Hydra with one blow.

When the Hydra saw that things were not going well, it immediately began to kowtow: "I was wrong! Master, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have stolen your magic weapon when you were being besieged by the immortal sect! I have been atonement here for 20,000 years, please let me go!"

Hearing this, Sui Guanxian smiled and said, "Why don't I remember this happening?"

Hydra's face became distorted, and when he was about to say something, his mouth was forced shut by a silencing spell.

Sui Guanxian raised his eyelids lazily: "My dear disciple, I leave this rotten loach to you. You can do whatever you want with it."

Lu Jinchao thought about it and felt that snake skin was of little use. It couldn't be eaten or worn. At most, it could be made into leather goods to store weapons. It was also not very beautiful. He simply raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not peel the skin and pull out the tendons first? If he's not dead, then try other tortures. Finally, watch him exhaust his lifespan and die. I've never seen such a scene before."

Sui Guanxian nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Chitose: "...As expected of a biological son, he is just as cruel. But he deserves it, because he was the one who plotted against us first."

As Qiansui thought about it, he became angrier and angrier, so he simply hung up the Hydra and gave it a beating.

After being fed with an antidote pill, the unconscious Mantou woke up in Sui Guanxian's palm. He moved his nose and smelled the scent of the stone. He immediately became excited: "Master, this is the skeleton of the ancient dragon clan! It must have been of a high grade before death, so it can still emit golden light after death..."

Chitose rolled his eyes. "This is obviously a system that has been overloaded and paralyzed by a bunch of bugs."

Mantou was unconvinced and said, "Impossible! My nose can't be wrong! Do you know what racial talent is?"

Qiansui was not to be outdone: "It's so funny, you, Miao Daxian, are an advanced system, how could you mistake one of your own kind?!"

A black cat and a ferret were quarrelling fiercely.

Lu Jinzhao subconsciously blocked out the quarreling sound and looked at Sui Guanxian: "Can you tell me what is going on?"

Sui Guanxian poked his little apprentice on the forehead and said, "Are you so curious? I can tell you. Do you still remember that in the "Jiuzhou Continent Collection" I gave you, there was a record of a spiritual creature that was invisible and colorless and could acquire its characteristics by devouring other objects?"

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Remember, that thing is called Wuxiang, and it is extremely rare... You mean, this stone is Wuxiang?"

"Yes." Sui Guanxian picked up a strand of hair and rolled it between his fingertips. "I just remembered that there was indeed a nine-headed snake that recognized me as its master. It was eager to achieve success in its cultivation and ate a whole village of boys and girls alive. It was so full that it couldn't walk. It accidentally fell into the pond where I was bathing and muddied the water. I chopped off eight of its heads as a small punishment and a big warning. It also kowtowed and admitted its mistake and begged me to let it go, but I refused and threw it into the alchemy furnace. Who knew that the snake accidentally refined the medicinal power in the alchemy furnace and the spiritual power I invested, and became a great demon, half a step into the ranks of demon fairies. It said it would repay me by working like a cow or a horse."

"Since it was sincere at the time, I let it go. After all, the cause and effect of killing a demon fairy is very different from that of killing a snake demon, so it was really unnecessary. Who knew that the nine-headed snake held a grudge and deliberately provoked the relationship between me and the immortal sect, causing the immortal sect to besiege me - unfortunately, it underestimated my realm and even more underestimated its own strength. It stole my magic weapon, thinking that without it I would die at the hands of the immortal sect, and tried to refine it for itself, but I and that group of blind immortals knocked it into the space rift and it has been missing since then."

Qiansui laughed dryly: "No wonder you said before that the Immortal Sect wants to call you the ancestor..."

Could it be that you cleaned up the Immortal Sect before?

Sui Guanxian did not answer, but pointed at the strange stone and said, "The nine-headed snake was probably swallowed by Wuxiang by accident. Therefore, Wuxiang inherited part of its memory, and this part was triggered the moment he saw me."

"This is the first time I've heard you talk so much." Qiansui touched his chin and said, "No wonder you didn't hit it just now, because it's not the real owner. It died a long time ago, right?"

Lu Jinzhao looked around the stone and said, "So, this stone swallowed the Hydra, the remains of the ancient dragon clan, and the system at the same time, which caused a conflict in the power within the body and trapped it here like this?"

"Who knows?" Sui Guanxian shattered the Hydra's virtual image with a flick of his finger, and the light spots returned to the stone, flickering slowly. "This thing, Wuxiang, doesn't have much intelligence. It can only use the things it has eaten to deceive creatures and lure them to get close. If it is lucky enough to eat a great demon or immortal in distress, it is possible for it to evolve, but unfortunately the probability is very small."

Chitose: "I don't understand, can't it move on its own?"

"I don't know."

"Strange, there is something you don't know?"

"Including this time, I have only seen two Wuxiang in total. This thing has no brain and no memory. Even if I search its soul, I can only see fragments of the creatures it swallowed." Sui Guanxian lazily directed the wine pot to fill his wine: "Its body is invisible and colorless, and the Sky Eye can only see a ball of turbid gas. Who knows if it has legs?"

"I understand. It sensed that you are powerful, and wanted to trick you into getting close to it so that it could eat you. Maybe it could evolve, so it used the Hydra to trick you."

"It seems you are not too stupid."

Chitose was furious: "You are the stupid one, your whole family is stupid!"

Lu Jinzhao glanced sideways, wondering if it had just scolded him as well... ?
