The baby-making system is unreliable

In the void, Yun Xirou's soul floated in the air and suddenly left that world. For a moment, she still had some emotions in her mind.

"..."

[Host, congratulations on completing the first time and space mission. The system has been upgraded to level 1, and more props can be unlocked. You have gained 36 years and 6 months of life, and the total points have been added. Congratulations to the host. ]

"It's really tiring to put my whole heart into it! But I'm still very grateful for this journey. Hmm..."

Yun Xirou thought about it and felt that it was not a loss for her, as she gained a longer life and also read the story.

But why do I miss NPCs so much in the side quests? I suddenly felt that they were useless and the system was not powerful enough.

[Host, the master can only improve the host's ability and ensure the host's safety. The branch line is fixed! ]

Come to think of it, Lu Qingyan's divination skills are superb, but he still can't save her...

Never mind, let’s start a new story!! I can’t wait!!!

Tongzi briefly introduced the background story of the next time and space.

Yun Xirou was quite curious. Tongzi told her that this story took place during the transition period between two dynasties.

The previous royal family was the Later Zhou, and the current ruling dynasty is the Northern Cang. In addition, Southern Xinjiang is independent and secluded from the world, and Mongolia is located in the north.

However, the story does not begin in the capital of Northern Cang, but in the water town of Jiangnan - Suzhou, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and picturesque.

As for the heroine's current identity, it's really hard to describe, cough cough cough...

There was a lot of noise in Lai Fu Inn. It was noon and the place was crowded.

At this moment, Yun Xirou was holding a tray in her hand and walking hurriedly around every corner of the inn.

I saw her running up and down the stairs, panting, but her face was always filled with a warm smile.

After all, this inn is doing a booming business, with guests coming in an endless stream, so it's really busy!

According to the original owner's memory, she ran an inn with Grandma Yang. When she was four years old, her father left Yun Xirou to her grandma and went to southern Xinjiang to find her mother.

Granny Yang told her that her mother was the daughter of King Wu Yue of Southern Xinjiang. She didn’t know what happened back then, but her mother never came back after she went home.

After three years of searching, the father came back with a ten-year-old boy named Han Xiuqi.

He only left a message, "Take good care of him and remember not to let him learn martial arts." After saying that, he left in a hurry and has not returned since then.

Today, Yun Xirou is sixteen years old. She has made many friends in the martial arts world and has learned swordsmanship. Her mother-in-law said that women should also have the power to protect themselves.

Well, so, she just... was careless and accidentally became 'invincible'.

It's over. I thought it was a story about palace fighting, but it turns out to be a martial arts world?! Tongzi, I am old and frail, and I am old enough to wield swords and guns? If I die, I will be killed by swords and guns! !

[Host, there is a martial arts secret book, and Tongzi has been kind enough to let you inherit the original owner's martial arts! ]

Ouke, that's good. Anyway, it should be... probably not too bad!! Obviously, Yun Xirou didn't know her own strength. After all, the original owner was quite powerful, but she... wasn't sure.

Hmm... What about Han Xiuqi? What is he doing? Wait, come out with me! Hehehe...

Half an hour later, after noon, there were finally fewer people in the inn, and Yun Xirou finally had some free time.

"Mother-in-law, I'm going to bring food to Brother Han."

Yun Xirou took a wooden box filled with some food from the inn and shouted to Grandma Yang.

"Go back quickly!"

Before Grandma Yang could finish her work and look up, she had disappeared.

"This kid! He runs so fast! What's the hurry?"

Granny Yang was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and there was a hint of smile hidden in her tone of reproach. She put the wine she was holding on the cupboard and went to settle the bill.

The girl has finally grown up, and fortunately she is also talented, just like her father, so she will not be bullied in the future.

Granny Yang thought so, remembering that the girl's father was also raised by her. She picked up the child on a snowy day one year. Although they were not related by blood, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

I heard that after so many years, Granny Yang, who had no relatives, was running the Lai Fu Inn and raising two children all by herself.

The inn was bustling with people, the summer noon was hot and the cicadas were chirping continuously.

After walking two streets, Yun Airou's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. Her black hair was braided into two pigtails and tied with two red hairbands.

She was wearing an orange-red dress with a simple bell hanging around her waist. There were strange symbols engraved on the bell, which the little girl had been wearing since she was a child.

"Miss Airou, you are bringing food to Han again today."

Aunt Yu on the street went to work at Jinyun Cloth Shop in the east with a group of other aunties. Every time they went, they would run into Yun Xirou bringing food to Han Xiuqi.

"Yeah, Aunt Yu, your kid hasn't been doing well lately."

Yun Xirou agreed with a smile and asked about Aunt Yu.

"No, ever since you taught me a lesson, I've been very well behaved and studying peacefully. I've been much less worried about me lately."

Aunt Yu mentioned that her son's face was full of wrinkles when he smiled, and that the child had made her less worried these days.

After saying a few words and walking ten steps in vain, Yun Xirou arrived at a medicine shop - Yishoutang.

What greeted me was the smell of herbs. There were not many people in the pharmacy at this time.

He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure and a handsome face.

Although the orange-brown clothes could not be called luxurious, they were simple and plain. There was a small jade pendant hanging around her waist, which looked very valuable.

This man is very handsome, with a small mole at the corner of his right eye, which is like the finishing touch, adding a unique charm to his already outstanding appearance.

Under the straight nose, the lips are slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

His long, shiny black hair was casually tied up with an orange hairband. A few strands of hair fell around his ears, gently fluttering in the breeze, adding a sense of casualness and unrestrainedness to him.

The most unforgettable thing is the gentle temperament in him. This is Yun Xirou’s impression. He is really gentle.

Yun Yirou walked into the medicine shop with ease, put the lunch box on the table, and said to the man, "Brother Han, come and eat."

Han Xiuqi looked up when he heard the voice, and as usual, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Yun. Please sit for a while. I'll get the medicine and come right back."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to prepare the medicine.

Yun Xirou nodded, sat down on a chair beside her, and looked around. The medicine shop was filled with a faint herbal aroma, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

At this time, an old man came in from outside the door, with a pale face and a cane.

Han Xiuqi quickly put down the work in his hands, went over to support the old man, and asked with concern: "Uncle Li, why are you here? Are you feeling unwell?"

The old man shook his head and said weakly: "I have had a severe headache these days. I have run out of medicine at home, so I had to come here to get some medicine."

Han Xiuqi helped the old man sit down, carefully asked about his symptoms, and then skillfully prepared the medicine. Yun Xirou looked at Han Xiuqi's serious look and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart.

Although Yun Airou was originally a doctor, she studied Western medicine, not Chinese medicine, so the gap is actually quite large.

This clinic is not actually his. He usually works here. When he first came here in his teens, he didn't talk much, but for some reason he was interested in medicine.

So, her mother-in-law arranged for her to be an apprentice in Yishoutang, and now she can open the clinic to see patients.

After a while, Han Xiuqi grabbed the medicine, handed it to the old man, and said, "Uncle Li, take this medicine three times a day after meals. If your condition doesn't improve, come back to me."

The old man thanked her repeatedly, paid the money and left slowly. Before leaving, Uncle Li looked at Yun Xirou, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Kid Han is so lucky! Miss Yun is a frequent customer!!"

"Ah!? I... that... Uncle Li, don't say that... it will ruin a girl's reputation."

Yun Xirou didn't react much, but Han Xiuqi became shy. Yun Xirou found his silly voice interesting.

"..."

After staying in Suzhou city for a long time, I naturally become familiar with everyone from top to bottom.

She had also seen this Uncle Li before. Yun Xirou smiled and shouted to him, "Uncle Li, take care. Remember to take your medicine on time!"

Uncle Li smiled but didn't say anything. This girl has always been very active and has loved playing and shopping since she was young.

Only after everyone had gone far away did Han Xiuqi come to the table and start eating the meal that Yun Xirou had brought.

"Well...I..."

Han Xiuqi's hesitating manner is really... very consistent with his personality.

"Brother Han, do you think it tastes bad?"

Yun Yirou teased him with a smile, causing him to blush. This child is really innocent.

They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, so why was this guy so shy?

"Ah? No, this... is quite good. It's just that, sister Airou, girls should pay attention to their reputation."

Han Xiuqi explained hurriedly. After all, everyone seemed to care about this.

"Oh, I get it. Brother, stop nagging me. Do not keep talking about this... Am I really just a sister in your heart?"

Yun Xirou stopped him from speaking, otherwise there was no telling how long he would finish.

"..."

This time it was his turn to be silent. When Yun Xirou saw him being silent, she understood that it was not the case.

"Brother, in a few days it will be the Qixi Festival, the festival for girls to pray for wisdom and skill. Let's go to the Taihu Lake in Suzhou to light lanterns."

Yun Yurou didn't wait for his answer and spoke proudly, "Don't refuse. It's settled."

Releasing lanterns in Taihu Lake in Suzhou is something they often do, and there are many people coming every year.

"All right……"

Zhou Wenfeng walked out of the inner room holding a bunch of medicinal herbs, and when he looked up he saw the two of them together.

“Tsk tsk tsk…Ah…”

If these two people are not together, things will not end well in the future.

"Cough cough cough..."

Someone came suddenly and scared him so much that he choked while eating and started coughing.

"No, that... How can I choke while eating? Think about my eldest nephew... He is already an imperial doctor at such a young age..."

Zhou Wenfeng is the owner of this store. He is probably in his 40s or 50s. His ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations, but in his generation only two branches are still practicing medicine.

His lineage is in the underworld, while his brother's lineage is in the court. It is said that his brother's eldest son is named Zhou Wuhe, who is only twenty years old and has already worked in the Imperial Hospital in Beijing.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. This man would talk nonstop whenever he mentioned his nephew.

Before they knew it, it was getting late. Yun Xirou stood up to say goodbye, her lively eyes revealing a teasing look: "Brother Han, I'm going back first. Come back early, so that my mother-in-law and I can cook dinner in the evening."

Han Xiuqi smiled and nodded, reminding her: "Be careful on the road."

After Yun Xirou left the pharmacy, she was in an especially happy mood. She skipped along the way, humming a little tune.

When she returned to the inn, she saw that Granny Yang seemed to be holding a letter in her hand. The letter looked like a poisonous insect was painted on it. She frowned when she saw her come in.

Without waiting for Yun Xirou to ask, her mother-in-law just said, "Girl, go out and hide at night!"

"Mother-in-law?! What are you hiding for?! Why are you hiding!?"

Yun Xirou's heart tightened for a moment, and she didn't understand why? !

In all these years, I have never seen such an expression on my mother-in-law's face.

"The puppet is coming!" Granny Yang pushed her out without waiting for her to react.

"Granny, I can help you, Granny."

Yun Xirou felt very nervous and uneasy, but her mother-in-law only said one sentence.

[It's the Miaojiang Gu Master, they're coming! That's why Grandma wants you to hide! ]

The people of southern Xinjiang are good at witchcraft. Back then, King Wu Yue trained a group of witchcraft masters who were proficient in witchcraft. The most important thing is that these people were trained since childhood. The training process was extremely cruel and almost killed their emotions.

Wherever they went, almost nothing was left, and no one survived.

People called them puppets, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly disappeared for many years and then suddenly appeared in Suzhou.

……

As night fell, Yun Xirou and Han Xiuqi followed their mother-in-law's instructions and hid in a remote alley, observing the movements around them.

Yun Xirou originally wanted to stay, but Grandma Yang insisted on not letting her go, so she had no choice but to ask Han Xiuqi and the other two to stay outside and wait and see. If anything went wrong, they would have to find a way to save Grandma Yang.

But Yun Xirou was still thinking about the last words her mother-in-law said, and felt a little absent-minded.

Han Xiuqi met her returning before the end of work. He only listened to her general story and his face changed instantly.

Then he was pulled by Yun Xirou and hid in the dark until dark.

A bell sound was heard in the void, and somehow she found that Han Xiuqi's face had turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless.

He then seemed to recall some bad memories, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. It took half an incense stick of time for him to feel better.

"Brother Han, are you okay?"

Yun Xirou held Han Xiuqi's hand tightly, feeling a little worried about him.

Han Xiuqi felt something was not right after he heard her say the name "Kui".

"fine……"

Although he said this, Yun Xirou was indeed not at all reassured. At this moment, he was completely different from the one she saw at noon.

He was gentle and smiling back then, but now he is... gloomy and a little scary.
