Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

The girl was a little embarrassed and annoyed when she saw Li Xingzhi looking over, and she let out a soft snort.

"No wonder my mother-in-law said there are bad people outside!" she said, her face showing considerable indignation.

She started massaging her feet again, being quite careful because of the pain in her ankle.

The girl gently rubbed it a couple of times, not daring to rub it until it hurt. Suddenly, she raised her head and saw that Li Xingzhi was still staring at her blankly. Her face suddenly turned red.

"Bad guy!"

She cursed fiercely, then gave a soft snort, and flicked her hand—

Li Xingzhi suddenly felt something rushing towards him. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was a small snake with a pointed head and a spotted body! Judging from its appearance, it was clearly highly venomous!

He was lost in thought when the little snake startled him awake—he didn't do anything, letting the snake bump into him.

The girl had intended to scare the strange man, but as soon as "Little Flower" touched him, she fell to the ground and lay motionless.

"What did you do to my 'Little Flower'?!"

In her haste, the girl prepared to walk over, but forgot about her injured foot—"Ouch!"

He had just stood up when he fell heavily to the ground again.

She tilted her head back, her fair face covered in dust, and a leaf stuck to her lips.

Seeing the girl's expression, Li Xingzhi, who had initially thought the venomous snake was somewhat angry, immediately relaxed. He reached into his robes, pulled out a small porcelain bottle, tossed it to the girl, and said, "Apply this medicine to the wound and rub it in!"

Given Li Xingzhi's usual temperament, he would have turned and left immediately when the girl released the venomous snake to bite him—although it was wrong of him to injure the girl, it didn't warrant releasing a venomous snake! However, he hadn't seen anyone of his kind for quite some time, and he also planned to inquire about the witch tribe, so—

Even with the system's help, he still had to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof!

The girl touched her foot, which was even more swollen and red. Forgetting about the poor snake lying on the ground, she took the wound medicine given to her by Li Xingzhi and sprinkled it evenly on her ankle. Instantly, a cool sensation appeared on the swollen and hot area.

She gently touched the wound with her hand, "Ouch—", it still hurt terribly!

Li Xingzhi turned around and stood there for a long time, but there was no movement behind him, which made him feel strange.

He turned around and saw a pretty young girl gently holding a delicate and lovely foot, while her other hand was occasionally touching the swollen area, as if teasing it. However, the occasional soft moans and slightly flushed face revealed that she was in unbearable pain!

The girl seemed to notice that Li Xingzhi had turned around, and her face immediately turned red. Like a startled fawn, she quickly covered her cute little foot and looked at Li Xingzhi angrily.

“My mother-in-law said that everyone outside is a bad person. If you dare to bully me again, she will have her release lots of bugs to bite you!”

Hearing the girl's charming tone, Li Xingzhi couldn't help but smile. However, her next words stirred something within him! Without regard for anything else, he quickly asked, "Do you know about the Black Tooth Tribe?"

"What black teeth and white teeth? I've never heard of that! Even if I had, I wouldn't tell you!"

The girl felt she had won the argument, and seeing Li Xingzhi's furrowed brows, she seemed pleased again, and her hand unconsciously tightened its grip a little—

"Ouch!" She cried out in pain again, her face turning deathly pale and breaking out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the girl's appearance, Li Xingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Have you ever heard of the Witch Clan?"

"You weirdo! I'm not telling you!" The girl gently rubbed her calf, her face contorted with resentment and gritted teeth. If she knew any other insults, she probably would have blurted them out without hesitation.

Li Xingzhi looked at the girl and a smile appeared on his face.

The young girl was, after all, inexperienced in the ways of the world, and her indignant yet certain tone betrayed her true feelings!

"Let me think, you must be from the Witch Clan!" Li Xingzhi looked at the girl with a teasing tone. Seeing her surprised and somewhat indignant expression, he didn't wait for her to speak, pointed in a few directions, and continued, "Is your home over there? Or over there?"

The girl was quick-witted; her little eyes darted around, and she pointed in the direction Li Xingzhi was heading, saying, "Over there!"

Li Xingzhi was about to say something more, but the girl's interruption made it difficult for him to continue.

"In that case, I'll be going now!" he said, making a move to leave.

Unaware of any trickery, the girl saw Li Xingzhi about to leave and quickly said, "You—you're going to ask my mother-in-law for help, aren't you?!"

These words made Li Xingzhi even more certain that the girl was a member of the Wu tribe.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhi smiled and said, "There are so many people in the Wu tribe, how did you know I was looking for your mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law is the most amazing in the village!" the girl said with a proud look on her face, as if she were talking about herself.

"Oh? She's your mother-in-law, of course you say she's formidable!" Li Xingzhi said casually, seemingly not believing the girl's words at all, but his ears were already perked up!

As he talked to this naive young girl, he felt like a creepy old man trying to abduct a little girl, and he felt a little guilty.

The girl's smile froze instantly. Her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say. Suddenly, inexplicably, tears streamed down her face.

"You're all bullying me! Xiaobai doesn't want me anymore! Nobody likes me..."

It seemed that all the pent-up grievances had burst forth at this moment, and the smile on her face immediately turned into a bursting dam.

Her tears mixed with the dust on her face, making her look like a big tabby cat.

When Li Xingzhi saw the girl's appearance, he was immediately dumbfounded. He had gone too far with his joke!

"It's over!" He slapped his forehead hard.

He was most afraid of women crying, but what woman doesn't cry? So he became afraid of women too!

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been so old in his previous life, never having even touched a woman's hand.

Li Xingzhi cursed himself harshly, then stood awkwardly to the side, looking embarrassed and helpless.

He didn't notice that a pair of bright eyes were watching him through the slit, and at the same time, the crying grew louder and louder.

The girl usually uses this trick to deal with her mother-in-law and the people around her. Whenever she cries, everyone will go along with her. This is her secret weapon!

However, she was dumbfounded today. As her crying grew louder and louder, the strange man next to her still didn't make a move, and she didn't know what to do.

As she cried, she seemed to genuinely feel wronged, her heart ached, and tears streamed down her face—she wondered how her mother-in-law was doing back in the village, then she thought of that naughty "Little White" that had run off somewhere, and even "Little Flower" lying on the ground pretending to be dead...
