Let the system try to save the world

"You won't do this to me..." Xitong said.

"I didn't." Shu answered immediately.

"I treat you as my buddy, you want to be my dad?" Xitong said, "Don't come here, or I'll be the third dad."

"My generation is getting lower and lower as I complete the mission." Xi Tong said, "It's fine if Xi Qihuang is my father, but Lu He is his girlfriend so he can just be one..."

"I don't want to be your father." Shu took Xitong's hand, "I want..."

"Be my mother?"

"Forget it." Shu said angrily, "There's no atmosphere anymore."

"It's okay, go build the wall." Xitong squeezed his hand, "Shu, I don't care about this."

"Just like what you said," Xitong said, "I've died once, I won't insist on finding the truth about those things."

"You don't understand humans well enough." Shu sighed, "You have already learned about shame and emotions. The next lesson is called the past."

"Human life span is very short." Shu said, "Without the past and memories, humans would not be able to reproduce to the current scale."

"The past will catch up with you sooner or later," Shu said, "Don't let it hold you captive."

"I won't." Xitong said, "Don't worry."

"But you..." Xitong hadn't finished her words when the person in front of her opened and closed his eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" Shen Anzhi asked.

"You feel guilty again." Xitong held his forehead with his hand. He briefly explained Gu Yugui's situation and lightly skipped Yaoguang's part. "It's okay. We'll wait for Gu Yugui for a while and then cross the river."

"How is your basic body-building skills going?" Xitong asked.

Shen Anzhi finally showed a bit of embarrassment that was in line with her age, "Not too good."

"Let me take a look." Xitong held his hand and released his spiritual power to probe it slightly.

The pure spiritual power of the basic body refining technique was attached with strands of dark energy. Xitong felt it and found that this energy was from the same source as the Heart-Eating Demon's Heart Shaping.

Demonic energy, and it was very primitive, almost to the point of being a curse. This kind of demonic energy was fighting against the spiritual power of the basic body refining technique, and if it continued, it might tear Shen Anzhi's meridians apart alive.

Fortunately, these two energies are maintaining a strange balance. Almost every time Shen Anzhi cultivates 100 units of spiritual power, 75% of the spiritual power will disappear due to the struggle with the evil spirit.

The remaining 25% did not disappear directly, but merged with the demonic energy at a very slow speed. Judging by this standard, Shen Anzhi has been practicing very hard.

The basic body training technique is indeed a rare method of cultivation. Xitong didn't know where to start.

Xitong couldn't just say, just practice like this, the human-demon hybrid protagonist will not die.

"What impression do you have of your father?" Xitong started.

"My father..." Shen Anzhi said, "He should love me very much."

"Should?" Xitong asked.

"I haven't met him. My grandfather said he went to a very far place. Now I think it's a euphemism for death." Shen Anzhi replied, "His friends would send money home every year, and there would be gifts for me."

"If grandpa hadn't suddenly fallen ill, our family could actually be considered well-off." Shen Anzhi said, "My grandpa is a very traditional person. He always talks about continuing the family line, but my father swears to oppose him to the death. He almost made me explode several times..."

"I was just kidding." Shen Anzhi said, "I thought my grandfather would never get married and have children in his lifetime, but who knew he would suddenly bring me back one day."

"My grandfather told me that he was almost scared to death at that time." Shen Anzhi smiled, "He was the one who gave me my name. Zhi means orchid, a gentleman among flowers. He must have loved me very much to give me such a name."

"So when Chen Tianci suddenly approached me, I was actually more surprised than he was." Shen Anzhi said, "I didn't expect my father would actually be the third party in someone else's marriage... It doesn't seem quite accurate to say that he simply gave birth to a child and ran away. It sounds even worse."

"Hmm..." Xitong hesitated for a moment, "I have a few things I want to tell you."

"Go ahead." Shen Anzhi said eagerly.

"First, your father is not dead. He really went to a very far place." Xitong said, "Now he is back. You should be able to see him soon."

"Don't interrupt me yet." Xitong stopped Shen Anzhi from talking. He took out the iron door he dug out from the Love Orphanage and showed it to Shen Anzhi, then took it back again. "Second, everything you want to know is in it. If you are ready, I will give it to you."

"Third, there is a 99% chance that your father is not human." Xitong said.

"How is this possible?" Shen Anzhi finally couldn't help asking, "But I'm already eighteen years old, and I haven't grown a tail or horns, and I haven't seen my grandfather transform."

"Son, this is a sad fact." Xi Tong held his shoulders and said, he briefly explained the grudge between Mo Jinglan and the other two, "Your father was a human before, but he became possessed by the devil, and now he should be considered a demon."

"It's okay." Shen Anzhi patted his chest after hearing this, "At least my genes are still human..."

"You're not angry?" Xitong asked doubtfully.

"Why are you angry?" Shen Anzhi said, "Children cannot choose their families. Besides, I now believe that with my father's ability, Chen Tianci's father cannot force him."

"That is to say, I came into this world in his expectation." Shen Anzhi said, "My only family member is my grandfather. Now that I know this, I have nothing to complain about."

"I want to meet him." Shen Anzhi said, "At least I want to ask him in person why he killed those people? There must be a reason."

"Okay." Xitong patted his shoulder. "Next time I see him, I will catch him and let you confront him face to face."

"Have you seen him?" Shen Anzhi asked carefully, "How is he?"

"Very handsome." Xitong recalled, "and it hurts a lot."

"What kind of evaluation is this?" Shen Anzhi pondered, "Did he hit you?"

"Not only that, he also chopped me with a sword." Xitong said, "But it doesn't matter, I chopped him too."

Shen Anzhi fell into a little sorrow. He hoped that his father would have a better impression of the person he liked, but now it seemed impossible.

"So my father wouldn't really be the heir to the demon world, right?" Shen Anzhi murmured.

While waiting for Gu Yugui, Xitong went to investigate the human head on the ground. It was a dead human-faced spider. The pattern on its belly looked like a beautiful woman's face, and its eight hairy legs were covered with water plants. It looked really like the real thing.

Xitong burned all the hair-like water plants to ashes and found a deep wound on the spider's back that was visible to the bone. It was this blow that killed it.

This cut... looks familiar. Xitong stroked the smooth wound. This cut must have been made by Shen Fuguang, or someone with similar swordsmanship.

Whoever they are, they are heading in the right direction.
