Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Li Xingzhi walked in front, with a rope hanging from his body, and dragging a simple stretcher behind him. On the stretcher lay a beautiful girl swaying her legs.

The girl picked a wildflower from the roadside and put it on her head, humming an unknown tune and occasionally whimpering in pain. She looked at the strange man pulling the cart ahead, seemingly quite pleased with herself!

Seeing the smug look on the girl's face behind him, Li Xingzhi was furious.

Unfortunately, this girl possesses the ability to perform the "ghostly wailing" technique.

After being tormented by the "wailing and howling" for nearly an hour, Li Xingzhi had no choice but to raise the white flag and surrender!

Of course, most importantly, the girl has a connection with that witch clan, and it seems that she holds a high position within that clan.

He still had to ask for help, and he would feel embarrassed to just leave the girl there. Besides, things would definitely be easier if someone spoke up for him.

Li Xingzhi was making his own plans, and he pulled the stretcher forward with all his might. For him now, the things behind him, apart from slightly affecting his movement, did not pose any burden at all.

After traveling for several more hours, they were finally close to the valley entrance when suddenly the miasma rose up again!

However, the fog was still thin and walking was not an obstacle, so he decided to continue on his way.

"Stop! Stop!" The girl behind patted the stretcher forcefully, seemingly in a hurry.

"Hey weirdo, hurry up and get some branches and leaves from that tree!"

Li Xingzhi looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression, wondering what she was up to now.

Seeing that Li Xingzhi didn't move, the girl panicked—"Ouch!" She had obviously touched her wound again.

"No, this guy is weird. If we don't go soon, we'll be in trouble."

She slapped the stretcher hard, as if she were hitting Li Xingzhi.

Li Xingzhi didn't know what the girl was planning to do again, but he still took out the knife he always carried and chopped off a lot of branches and leaves in a few swift strokes.

The girl was surprised by the swift movements of the tree branch. Normally, it would take her quite a while to cut off a small piece.

“Pull me over there.”

Li Xingzhi then pulled the girl under the tree.

The girl rummaged around in her bosom for a while, then took out a pair of flints and started a fire with them over a pile of dry leaves.

"Smash, smash—" A pair of stones kept bumping against each other, but they just couldn't ignite what was underneath!

The girl grew impatient, her face flushed, and seeing Li Xingzhi standing there dumbfounded, she said angrily, "It's because of you, otherwise how could I not light a fire?"

Li Xingzhi looked completely bewildered, thinking to himself, "What does it have to do with me that you can't light a fire?"

Seeing the girl's anxious expression, he didn't say anything, but picked up two knives and slashed them, sparks flying everywhere—

"puff!"

The flames quickly rose up, almost burning the girl's eyebrows, who was still pressed against her face.

"You—humph, you're not fun at all!" she said, getting angry on her own.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Li Xingzhi was happy to relax. He took out two large flatbreads from the bundle behind him and started baking them over the fire.

Gradually, the miasma thickened, and Li Xingzhi discovered that within three to five zhang of the firewood, a vacuum zone had appeared, which he dared not venture into.

So this tree branch has such a wonderful use!

Soon, the aroma of the meat patties wafted out.

The girl sat beside him, smelling the aroma of meat, and couldn't help but swallow, her stomach growling. When she saw Li Xingzhi looking over, her face flushed red, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"What is this? It smells so good!"

"This thing is called a meat pie, a big meat pie!"

"What an awful name! If you ask me, it should be called 'Fragrant Cookie,' otherwise how could it smell so good?" As she spoke, the girl looked Li Xingzhi up and down with her bright eyes. "Don't you think so?"

"Hmm, this name sounds nice!" Li Xingzhi said against his will.

Although his pancake tasted better than the others, it was still just an ordinary meat pancake. As for the "fragrant pancake," it sounded strange no matter how you looked at it! However, to prevent the girl from making any more unreasonable demands, Li Xingzhi agreed directly.

The meat patties were ready in no time.

The girl took a delicious bite, and not satisfied, she licked her lips with her tongue before taking another bite…

Li Xingzhi watched as the girl brazenly revealed her soft, pink tongue, and his heart stirred; he even had a desire to take a bite!

He shook his head, and then looked at the girl in front of him again, and seemed to have changed somewhat.

The girl, seeing Li Xingzhi staring at her, said in embarrassment and annoyance, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Her soft, gentle voice had no intimidating effect whatsoever; instead, it stirred Li Xingzhi's heart once again.

Only then did he realize—what's wrong with me?

Logically speaking, with his current level of cultivation, he shouldn't be so easily tempted, and his mind shouldn't be so easily swayed!

He looked away and took another big bite of the meat pie. Suddenly, he noticed a burning gaze fixed on him.

Li Xingzhi looked up and saw the girl staring intently at the flatbread in his hand.

"Still not full?"

Without waiting for the girl's reply, he took out a meat pie from the bundle and tossed it to her, saying, "You can heat it up yourself and eat it!"

"Mmm, your pancakes are delicious!"

Perhaps because she felt obligated to speak well of others, the usually somewhat spoiled and willful little girl actually learned to say nice things to people.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal, Li Xingzhi's ears suddenly twitched—it seemed like something was rapidly approaching! The sound of footsteps landing, though light, sounded like drumming to his ears.

He stood up and walked to the girl's side—

"Something big is coming! Sit tight and don't move!"

The girl's eyes widened when she heard what Li Xingzhi said.

"how do you know?"

Li Xingzhi did not answer her, but stood beside her, his eyes fixed on where the thing came from.

Before long, the fog surged, and a dark figure leaped out of the curtain formed by the mist.

"Little White! I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

Before Li Xingzhi could speak, the girl cried out, but the content of her words sent a chill down Li Xingzhi's spine: "Beauty and the Beast?"

He sized up the enormous creature before him—in terms of size alone, this guy was no less than a typical adult tiger! It was almost half a person's height, entirely white, and if Li Xingzhi hadn't noticed its eerie, gleaming green eyes and the thick, stiff tail protruding from behind, he would have mistaken this wolf king for the large pet dogs often seen in later generations! This guy was just too good-looking!
