Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

The sun was high in the sky, and the Snake Valley was lush and green. The cold pool stood still, and the valley was refreshingly cool. It was the perfect time of day!

Several people sat around the fire, chatting and laughing, while only the two burly men in black behind them remained standing silently to the side.

The meat patties on the fire gradually released an enticing aroma, attracting the attention of the young girl beside them. The two women also frequently glanced at the golden, crispy meat patties, and their conversation gradually subsided.

As Li Xingzhi was speaking, he suddenly felt his left hand twitch.

He turned his head and found that the girl next to him had slowly opened her eyes, looking completely bewildered.

When she saw Li Xingzhi's face in front of her, her unfocused eyes suddenly froze, her pupils contracted sharply, and she threw herself into Li Xingzhi's arms.

"Brother Li, you're alright? I thought—" the girl said, her face scrunching up again, "It's all my fault..."

"It's alright, it's alright, you little rascal, look how you've made yourself suffer."

"Cough cough~" A cough came from the side, bringing the two who were oblivious to their surroundings back to their senses.

Li Xingzhi suddenly remembered the people beside him and realized he was a little embarrassed. The girl seemed to realize that there were outsiders as well, her face flushed, and she snuggled into Li Xingzhi's arms. When she came to her senses, her big eyes secretly glanced to the side.

"Mother-in-law!"

Upon seeing the beautiful woman in the middle, the girl's face suddenly lit up with surprise. She quickly jumped up from Li Xingzhi's arms, her clear, melodious silver bells jingling as she rushed into the woman's embrace.

"You still remember you have a mother-in-law like me!"

Although the beautiful woman scolded her incessantly, she held the girl tightly in her arms, her eyes revealing a gentle and loving look as she carefully examined the girl, afraid that something might happen to her.

"What happened to your foot?" The beautiful woman frowned slightly as she looked at the strip of cloth still tightly bound to the girl's foot and asked reproachfully.

"I twisted my ankle!" the girl said softly, her head down, a blush creeping across her face.

Seeing that there was nothing seriously wrong, the beautiful woman knew there must be other reasons behind it, but she didn't ask any further questions. However, looking at the girl's shy appearance, a shadow of gloom lingered in her eyes.

"Grandma, you're the best! Yue'er knows she was wrong, please don't scold her anymore, okay?" The girl buried her head in the beautiful woman's arms and said sweetly.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's face hardened. "The whole witch village has been thrown into chaos just looking for you. When we get back to the village, I'll teach you a lesson!" Though her tone was stern, her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Grandma, please forgive Yue'er! Yue'er will never do it again!"

"Humph!"

The beautiful woman did not answer, but her expression softened considerably as she gently stroked Yue'er's hair with her left hand.

"Grandma is only doing this for Yue'er's own good! She forgave Yue'er this time, but if she did something to upset Yue'er, would Yue'er forgive her?"

"Grandma is the best to Yue'er. Yue'er is happy only when Grandma is happy!"

Hearing the girl's words, the woman beside her had a gentle look in her eyes. She lowered her head, her expression seemingly reluctant, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

"Yue'er must not forget what I said today..."

Looking at the beautiful woman holding the young girl in front of him, Li Xingzhi felt a little curious. He had only heard the girl talk about her mother-in-law before, and thought she was an old woman with a face full of wrinkles. He never expected her to be such a beautiful woman who still had a lot of charm.

The young girl emerged from the beautiful woman's arms, saw the woman beside her, and softly called out, "Aunt Lan—"

"Your mother-in-law was so worried when Yue'er ran away this time! Next time you want to go out, you should explain it to your mother-in-law first."

"Hmm~" Yue'er lowered her head, her face full of shame.

Just then, the lively little girl behind the woman jumped out again, "Yue'er—"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Yue'er exclaimed joyfully, "Ling'er—"

Li Xingzhi looked at the two girls embracing each other and heard the tinkling of countless bells. He suddenly realized that the girl named Ling'er had dozens of bells hanging on her body, just like the ones on Yue'er's waist.

"No wonder it's called a bell!" Li Xingzhi thought to himself.

At this moment, the big white wolf that had been sitting next to her also came over and nuzzled Yue'er with its head, as if to tell her not to forget it.

Yue'er looked at the white wolf with even greater joy. She patted the white wolf's head and then began to introduce it to her somewhat surprised companions.

"Gululu~"

Several strange noises rang out, and then, as if triggering a chain reaction, a series of "gurgling" sounds came out. Li Xingzhi looked up and saw that the two girls in the middle had blushed. Li Xingzhi was stunned. Smelling the strange aroma of meat patties in the air, he understood.

"Everyone, stop talking! The flatbread that's been baking over the fire is going to burn if we don't eat it soon!"

After filling their stomachs, the group happily wandered around the valley, which resembled a fairyland, until evening, when the sun set and a cold mist rose, before returning to the fire.

Under the orange glow of the fire, the two girls held hands and chatted endlessly. One of them blushed from time to time and secretly glanced at the boy sitting by the fire. The other girl teased them relentlessly.

The girl's silvery laughter echoed through the valley, adding a touch of allure to the otherwise desolate place...

Tragic!

I haven't been feeling well these past few days, but I'll make up for it when I have time. I'm really sorry to my viewers!
