“So scary.” Luo Tangtang felt her hairs stand on end. She ran back to her residence, gasping for breath.
“Tangtang, what are you doing?” The System, using its two small paws to peek its head out of a basin, watched Luo Tangtang frantically packing her things.
“Damn it! I can’t stay here! I’m going down the mountain to hide for a while.”
“If I see Yun Shayi one more time, I’ll die of embarrassment.” Luo Tangtang was on the verge of breakdown, her hands moving faster as she packed, so she didn’t notice the System’s thunderstruck expression.
“No way, how can you leave the female lead?” The System’s voice was hurried and distorted.
“I don’t care, I’m leaving.” Luo Tangtang raised her voice, equally determined.
The System’s cat eyes narrowed, its sky-blue pupils reflecting a strange luster. It kept making gurgling sounds.
The next moment, a small white furball shot out of the water and towards Luo Tangtang. “You go find the female lead right now! Meow~!”
Luo Tangtang got a mouthful of cat fur. The System shook its wet fur and slapped a paw onto Luo Tangtang’s face.
It was utter chaos. Luo Tangtang cursed inwardly. As expected, good things come in small packages. Don’t let the System’s size fool you, its ability to torment is first-class.
The System’s eyes held a warning, its tone chilling. “Luo Tangtang, don’t force my hand.”
Luo Tangtang was amused by her anger. She didn’t back down. “You’re the one forcing me first.”
Please, even if Yun Shayi had a celestial beauty, unparalleled presence, and astounding talent, I would never submit. Never.
The System silently watched the indignant Luo Tangtang before it, its heart sinking slightly. Tangtang cannot stay away from Yun Shayi.
“Junior sister.” A clear, resonant voice came from the System’s mouth, making Luo Tangtang widen her eyes. She watched in disbelief as the System’s body stretched, becoming slender and graceful, her appearance like a begonia, beautiful and ethereal—”Yun Shayi”!
“Junior sister.” The “Yun Shayi” before her gently stroked Luo Tangtang’s eye corner. Luo Tangtang instantly got goosebumps. She immediately wanted to retreat, but the person before her was faster.
The “Yun Shayi” easily restrained Luo Tangtang, forcing her to stare into its eyes.
Luo Tangtang stared blankly into those eyes, as if she had lost her soul. The eyes were incredibly beautiful, like a pool of deep water, occasionally reflecting a captivating, profound light.
“Junior sister likes Yun Shayi the most, right?”
Luo Tangtang stared blankly at the beautiful woman opposite her, her eyes holding a childlike innocence. She spoke word by word: “Tangtang likes Yun Shayi the most!”
“Right!”
“Yun Shayi”‘s lips curved into a strange arc. She slowly leaned closer to Luo Tangtang, whispering softly in her ear: “Tangtang is so good!”
Luo Tangtang’s body suddenly went limp, falling completely into “Yun Shayi”‘s arms.
“Sigh!” Looking at the unconscious person in its arms, the System sighed. It felt utterly exhausted. Hypnotizing its host caused significant damage to the System itself. It probably wouldn’t be able to appear in physical form for a long time.
“Let’s go.” The System sighed softly. A formation appeared beneath its feet. In the blink of an eye, the room was silent, and the two disappeared.
…
Misty Peak—covered in silver frost.
“Thump!” The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. A small white furball, almost integrated with the surrounding snowy landscape, laboriously opened its eyes. It looked at Luo Tangtang lying on the ground, struggled to move, but ultimately collapsed back onto the ground, strength draining away.
Tangtang! I can only help you this much. The wind and snow swept over, instantly swallowing everything. The snowy white furball disappeared from its original spot.
Cold, so cold! Luo Tangtang shivered. She felt like she was in an ice cellar, her limbs heavy, without even the strength to lift them.
Luo Tangtang barely opened her eyes a crack, seeing only a vast expanse of snow. System, where is the System?
She wanted to scream with all her might, but the world was silent. No one replied to her. It was terrifyingly quiet, like a large hand was squeezing her heart, a sense of suffocation flooding her mind.
Someone help me!
Someone help me! Luo Tangtang blinked somewhat blankly. Why am I here?
So cold! She curled up into a ball, shivering all over.
Time felt incredibly long. The world was dead silent. After who knows how long, she heard a voice carrying a hint of panic.
“Junior sister?”
A sound of light footsteps came closer. Luo Tangtang felt herself being embraced by a warm body.
Warm. Luo Tangtang burrowed into the other person, as if afraid of being abandoned. Sensing the other person’s body stiffen, she tried to please them by rubbing her face against their palm.
In her hazy state, Luo Tangtang thought she heard a sigh.
But before she could think more, she was wrapped in a wave of warmth, so comfortable she wanted to stretch and wiggle around, humming softly.
But no matter what, her hand held tightly onto a corner of the clothes of the person holding her, refusing to let go.
“Ying—” Luo Tangtang stretched lazily in a daze, squinting her eyes as she rolled around on the bed, feeling utterly content.
“?” Her finger suddenly touched a warm object. Luo Tangtang’s eyes snapped open, and a face beautiful enough to be suffocating came into view.
Luo Tangtang stared blankly at the face before her. The sound of her heart pounding echoed in her ears. Her fingers almost uncontrollably wanted to stroke it.
Yun Shayi! Luo Tangtang’s gaze was almost intoxicated. She likes Yun Shayi, wants to be with her. This thought suddenly appeared and instantly occupied her entire mind with lightning speed.
“Junior sister!” Yun Shayi’s long lashes trembled. She slowly opened her eyes, revealing pupils as bright as stars.
Luo Tangtang felt her heart pound even faster.
“Are you alright?” Perhaps having just woken up, Yun Shayi’s voice was no longer as cold as before, carrying a touch of warmth.
Yun Shayi frowned slightly, looking at the somewhat dazed Luo Tangtang, her eyes holding a hint of concern that was hard to detect. She reached out and gently stroked Luo Tangtang’s forehead.
Normal temperature. Yun Shayi let out a sigh of relief. She had found Luo Tangtang lying on the ground when she came out from cultivating. At that time, the person was frozen stiff, her little face pale, and her body as cold as ice.
She had been unconscious all night and had a high fever in the middle of the night.
Yun Shayi lowered her gaze, preparing to get out of bed. She was too close to her junior sister.
However, before she could get out of bed, a small hand grabbed her tightly. “Where are you going?”
Luo Tangtang looked at Yun Shayi with wet, pitiful eyes.
Yun Shayi’s body paused. Her tone held negotiation. “I’m going to get you medicine.”
Only then did Luo Tangtang release her hand. Watching Yun Shayi’s receding back, she quietly placed her hand on her own face.
That was a bit meddlesome on the system’s part :0 Tangtang won’t be pleased with this but the plot must go on ( ´-`)
Yeahh…. When Tang tang figures out what happened, she’s going to be piiiisssseeeedddd
