After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected
Chapter 25 The System Returns
At some point, the alley, which was originally well-lit, became dim, and Bai Xinyue had not yet noticed the changes in the surrounding environment.
She bit her lower lip and stared at the dark figure in front of her.
Without any warning, a pale and thin hand suddenly reached out from behind Bai Xinyue and grabbed her neck.
Bai Xinyue's feet gradually left the ground. Because her neck was being strangled, she couldn't breathe, and even her hands and feet had no strength.
For the first time, she felt death was so close to her.
"I know...where the thing you want is..." After finally finishing the sentence in a halting manner, the hand that was pinching Bai Xinyue's neck suddenly loosened.
Then he fell to the ground, clutching his neck and coughing a few times. After calming his breathing, the hand pinched Bai Xinyue's chin again. The Ghost King's sinister voice sounded coldly in Bai Xinyue's ears, "Do you know what I want?"
Bai Xinyue spoke with difficulty, "I know you want to find your heart back."
The force on her chin suddenly loosened, and Bai Xinyue watched the hand in front of her return to the shadows. She knew that what she said had worked.
In her previous life, she learned from Zhang Weiling that the Ghost King had his heart taken away by the Shen family's ancestor when he was sealed. How could a Ghost King have a heart? But it just happened to have one.
That heart contains most of the Ghost King's power. If the Ghost King takes his heart back again, the world will be devastated. At that time, evil ghosts will roam and the underworld will be in turmoil.
This is what Zhang Weiling told her at that time.
"I'll tell you where your heart is, but you have to agree to one condition of mine." Bai Xinyue stared at the black shadow in front of her.
The Ghost King laughed sinisterly, "Little girl, do you really think you can negotiate terms with me?"
Bai Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then said in a somewhat urgent tone: "What do you mean?!"
"I will come to find you again." The Ghost King's voice became fainter and fainter until it disappeared.
It took Bai Xinyue a long time to come back to her senses, and she felt scared.
She thought it would be easy to negotiate with the Ghost King based on her past life experience, but she didn't expect that the Ghost King seemed to already know where her heart was. Or perhaps she had forgotten what a terrifying existence the Ghost King was...
Inside the Gu Family Ancestral Hall——
Gu Chang sat cross-legged on a cushion, surrounded by a pile of talisman paper, a cinnabar brush placed on the inkstone, and several ancient books opened and spread out on the ground.
If Mr. Gu saw this scene, he would probably nag Gu Chang again.
Gu Chang glanced at the portrait of the mythical beast Bai Ze hanging on the wall and sighed.
The candles used in the ancestral hall illuminate every corner of the hall. The light is not dazzling, but gives people a very warm feeling.
However, Gu Chang was the only one in the ancestral hall.
When it's time for dinner, the maid Ellie will put the food in a small room in the ancestral hall.
Although it is called a small room, there is only a single wooden bed and a wooden table in it.
Gu Chang put aside another ancient book that he had finished reading.
I have to say, there is really a lot of information in the ancestral hall.
Gu Chang leaned back and lay directly on the ground with his long legs stretched out.
He had originally wanted to develop a relationship with Shen Xuanliang during the holiday, but now...
Gu Chang looked at the night pearl above his head and sighed softly. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
"System—ziz—restarting—"
"Plot speed - sizzle - start -"
"Host, I'm backヽ( ̄▽ ̄)?"
A familiar electronic sound suddenly rang in Gu Chang's mind.
Gu Chang subconsciously frowned, very confused, "Who are you?"
System, "..." How come the host doesn't recognize me anymore after the upgrade?!
"Host, have you forgotten me? I am your favorite system." The system whimpered.
I saw a fist-sized ball of light spinning wildly in place.
Gu Chang said coldly: "Impossible, my favorite is Shen Xuanliang!"
The system was speechless and went crazy, and then it began to frantically search for what had happened during the time it was upgraded.
From Gu Chang's perspective, he only saw a ball of light turning into a wrinkled ball of light, emitting golden light all over.
Gu Chang, "..." He seemed to see that kid Zhang Weiling.
Five minutes later, the system fell silent.
Then it took the system another two hours for Gu Chang to recover his previous memories.
"Wow?" Gu Chang uttered an unknown syllable, but the system knew that Gu Chang was mocking it.
The system cried and said, "Host, I promise that this will never happen again."
"You should settle the mission points from the previous world first." Gu Chang had a blank expression on his face.
Although his memory disappeared inexplicably when the system was upgraded, fortunately he has found his lover in the world.
"Host, the mission points from the previous world have been cleared. Congratulations to you, Host, for obtaining 61,000 points. After the system upgrade is complete, you will be awarded an additional 15,000 points as compensation."
"The host has a total of 76,000 points." After saying this, the system carefully looked at the expression on the host's face.
Gu Chang raised an eyebrow, "How many points are needed to upgrade permissions?"
"Twenty thousand points." The system breathed a sigh of relief.
"Elevate permissions."
"Yes, host."
[Host authority upgrade——]
[Host upgrades completed.]
[Main Mission——Host, please explore and complete the mission on your own~]
[Side Quests——Please explore and complete the quests on your own~]
[Hidden Mission——Please explore and complete the mission by yourself~]
Several lines of blue text popped up. Gu Chang raised an eyebrow and looked at the system. "Is this what you said about upgrading permissions to obtain relevant tasks?"
System: 嘤嘤嘤
"Forget it, give me the plot." Gu Chang pinched his brows. He was used to being tricked by the system. But he had to get the benefits he deserved.
The system scratched its head and sent the plot to Gu Chang.
My Brothers and I
Gu Chang’s eyelids jumped. Why is there a book title this time?
He inexplicably thought of the dream he had that night, and when he thought of it, Gu Chang felt unwell.
The heroine is a young lady from the impoverished Bai family. Because her mother is related to the Gu family, she attended the birthday party of Gu Chang, the young master of the Gu family, at the age of three. Gu Chang's parents died young, leaving him alone from childhood. The heroine arrives and finds him adorable. She also stands up for him when other children bully him, unexpectedly earning him a close friendship.
After that, the heroine often came to the Gu family, and the two became very good friends. Then Zhang Weiling was taken to the Gu family by Mr. Gu because of his outstanding talent and the death of the head of the Zhang family. From then on, the heroine began to call Zhang Weilingling brother.
Later, while in high school, the heroine met Lu Xuan, a mixed-race classmate. While traveling, they happened to save the seriously injured Heavenly Master Shen Xuanliang. Because the Ghost King, who was suppressed by the Shen family at the time, had escaped, the Shen family sent many of their disciples to capture him. It was the Ghost King who injured Shen Xuanliang. After Shen Xuanliang recovered from his injuries, he left, and the heroine returned home.
When the heroine reached adulthood, she accidentally activated the nine-tailed fox bloodline hidden within her veins. The fox's primary function was to charm people and devour their essence. At that time, only Young Master Gu was by her side. He remained unmoved by the eager heroine and set up numerous traps to prevent her from leaking her demonic energy. Knowing that the heroine was unconscious at the time, Young Master Gu was unwilling to force her.
Unexpectedly, the heroine was captured by a big monster right under the nose of Young Master Gu.
Because the demon happened to have demonic power running rampant in his body, he urgently needed to regulate his meridians. Ordinary humans could not withstand the demonic power, and the demon didn't like it. Then he happened to see the heroine...
After five whole days of debauchery in the cave, the heroine finally accepted the power of the nine-tailed fox with the help of the great demon.
The heroine doesn't want to stay with the demon all the time. She thinks her brothers will be worried if she disappears for so long. If the demon is not satisfied, then he will lock her up in the dark room.
Then she stayed in the small dark room for another month, and the heroine found that she had fallen in love with the big demon. She decided to stay with the big demon, but she didn't expect that Young Master Gu would come with a large group of people, including the heroine's other brothers.
The heroine then realized that her brothers were in love with her, but she felt that she already had someone she liked and couldn't be with them. Then, a large group of people injured the big demon, captured the heroine, locked her up in a small dark room, and started to make trouble again...
Because Young Master Gu likes the heroine very much, he will not force her as long as she doesn't want to be with him.
Unexpectedly, the Ghost King rescued the heroine because he wanted to use her to threaten the Shen family. Then the Ghost King realized that he had fallen in love with the heroine. He released her. Because the heroine had the blood of the Nine-Tailed Fox in her body, she returned to the Bai family. Then, she was locked up in a dark room by her non-blood-related brother.
Afterwards, the heroine worked hard to adjust the relationships between these people and achieved a perfect life. In the end, the heroine realized that she loved these eight brothers at the same time, and then they got married!
The story ends, spread the flowers.
Gu Chang couldn't help but twitch his lips. What a fucking plot! What a fucking perfect life! And this time the plot is so long!
Gu Chang lowered his eyes. He was not close to Bai Xinyue after losing his memory. It could be said that Bai Xinyue had lost the person who helped her the most in the plot.
Recalling the previous heroine's performance, Gu Chang frowned, thinking that maybe the heroine this time was also reborn.
He had been in the ancestral hall for nearly a month. Calculating the time, the heroine still had about three months until she reached adulthood. Without Gu Chang to shield the heroine from the demonic aura, her situation was not good.
The Celestial Masters not only have to catch ghosts, but they also have to guard against demons wreaking havoc on the human world. However, demons have appeared less and less frequently in recent years, with the truly powerful demons either remaining in the human world or retreating to the mountains. However, the Celestial Masters Alliance has not relaxed its vigilance against demons. Knowing how terrifying demons are, they have enacted stricter rules.
The heroine has the blood of the nine-tailed fox, which is a ferocious beast. Even if the heroine can control the demonic power in her body, she cannot control her need for essence. If her need is not met, she will go berserk, and if she goes berserk, she will be hunted down by the alliance.
To be precise, if no one meets the heroine's needs after she becomes an adult, she will go crazy.
Bai Xinyue cannot follow Gu Chang's path. She doesn't know where the big demon is. She may wait for the big demon on a mountain in City Z according to her memories of her previous life, or she may go looking for the Ghost King.
After all, Bai Xinyue has the memories of her previous life, so she will know where the Ghost King will appear.
The last place the Ghost King appeared was also City Z.
After Gu Chang figured this out, he was no longer worried that the Ghost King would agree to Bai Xinyue's request, but rather that the big demon.
The Ghost King wants his heart back, but Bai Xinyue only knows where it is, but has no way to retrieve it. Bai Xinyue wants the Ghost King to help her conceal her demonic energy when she reaches adulthood. Concealing her demonic energy means the Ghost King would have to reveal his own ghostly energy to conceal Bai Xinyue's, and then he would be hunted endlessly by the alliance.
This is not a good deal.
After thinking it through, Gu Chang looked at the system.
"Open this random treasure chest."
"Okay, host!" The system felt that it could no longer hold the host back. After all, the host had lost his memory due to its upgrade.
This time the random treasure chest gave out three things.
Yunxiao Sword - can kill all ghosts and monsters. Any ghost and monster are nothing in front of it. The price is 20,000 points.
Summoning Talisman - can summon Gu Tianyi, the ancestor of the Gu family, to fight for you. The effective time is ten minutes and the price is 30,000 points.
Detoxification Pill - A must-have medicine when you go out, it can detoxify any poison, and the price is 5,000 points.
Gu Chang sneered, "Even the price of detoxification pills has increased? Is this your upgrade?"
The system trembled, "Master Host, I am not responsible for the random treasure chests."
Gu Chang still bought the first two items. Although the summoning talisman only lasted ten minutes, it was still a life-saving trump card. Fifty thousand points were gone in an instant. It would be better not to upgrade the permissions.
After going around in circles, I still have 26,000 points left, which is not bad.
