Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

The light streaming in from outside gradually dimmed, the sun had already set, and the fires in the witch village were lit again.

Li Xingzhi sat in the cramped room and opened his eyes.

He was getting impatient! He didn't know if anyone else would come.

He got out of bed and was about to open the door—

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door.

Li Xingzhi opened the door and saw a young girl looking at him curiously.

"Is there a problem?"

The witch girl was taken aback, then remembered her important matter and quickly said, "The witch asked me to take you to see her!" As she spoke, she stood upright, just like the girls who had lined up earlier, her face expressionless, adopting an official posture.

"Lead the way!"

Seeing the girl's behavior, Li Xingzhi decided against speaking.

The girl didn't say anything and led Li Xingzhi directly towards the center of the witch village.

Upon arriving at a large courtyard in the middle of the witch village, someone took over the girl's task and led Li Xingzhi to a small pavilion on the west side.

"Go inside, the priestess is still waiting!"

The woman who brought Li Xingzhi in looked at him with a strange expression, but her tone was much more friendly, at least not as stiff as the previous people.

"In that case, thank you very much, ma'am!" Seeing how polite the woman was, Li Xingzhi thanked her in return, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart.

Judging from her polite demeanor, this shouldn't be a trap.

Looking at the flickering candlelight in the small attic in front of him, Li Xingzhi thought of Erlang, who was still unconscious in the space. He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door a few times.

"come in!"

Upon hearing the voice, Li Xingzhi suddenly paused. It was indeed the voice of the beautiful female sorceress, but now it sounded younger, just like when they had first met. Having seen the sorceress's aged appearance, hearing this voice with the unique rhythm of a young woman now didn't find it pleasant at all; it only felt bizarre and unsettling!

"Gah-"

Li Xingzhi pushed open the door and walked into the room.

The room was simple yet exquisite, clearly showing the owner's considerable thought. He twitched his nose as a familiar, subtle fragrance wafted in, adding a touch of ambiguity to the small attic.

A thought struck him, as if he remembered something, but he didn't linger and went straight into the inner room.

Besides the girl's delicate fragrance, the room was also filled with a strange aroma of wine.

In the center of the room, there was a small table, and sitting beside it was the shrine maiden, who had now regained her former beauty.

However, what puzzled Li Xingzhi was that there were two huge red candles burning on a table next to him, and a small bed with blue curtains and colorful borders was placed in one corner of the room. All the other furnishings in the room were made by his youngest daughter!

"I wonder what it is," Li Xingzhi thought, but judging from the situation, it couldn't be anything bad.

"Come and sit!"

Li Xingzhi walked to the small table and sat down in the only available spot next to it.

"I know you're wondering why I called you here. I wanted to ask you first, what do you think of Yue'er?" The beautiful woman's tone softened as she spoke of Yue'er, a hint of affection flashing in her eyes.

"Yue'er? She's great! Although she's a little mischievous, she's even cuter!"

Upon hearing Li Xingzhi's words, a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm and ferocity flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes.

"Hehe, that's good."

"You've been with Yue'er for several days now, so you must know that Yue'er has a strange illness."

Li Xingzhi suddenly remembered the strange incident that night when Yue'er's body turned cold. He would have almost forgotten about it if the woman in front of him hadn't brought it up.

Seeing Li Xingzhi's thoughtful expression, the woman continued, "Yue'er's illness, in fact, is all because of me!" As she said this, the woman's voice changed, and her eyes flickered with malice and cruelty, which sent chills down Li Xingzhi's spine!

Li Xingzhi wondered what kind of hatred could have caused the woman to look like this.

"Poor child, suffering like this for over a decade!" As she spoke, the woman suddenly burst into tears, her eyes filled with even more malice! This caught Li Xingzhi off guard.

Li Xingzhi didn't dare to say anything, he just sat there and listened.

"Back then, when I was pregnant with Yue'er, I happened to capture a 'Frost Moth.' I nurtured it for forty-nine days using a secret technique, and just as I was about to refine it, I was ambushed by my enemy—" As she spoke, the woman's face became ferocious, like a female ghost from hell. The resentment in her voice, as if it had been accumulating for a thousand years, erupted at this moment. The once warm and bright room was filled with gusts of cold wind, making people's teeth chatter.

The woman glanced at Li Xingzhi with her bloodshot, almost black eyes, and continued, "Although I've removed the cold poison from her body, there's no way to remove the cold energy remaining in Yue'er's body! Moreover, as she gets older, the cold energy deepens. Over the years, I've finally found a way—borrowing the yang energy from Tong Yang's body, and at the moment of yin-yang union between the two, dispelling and eliminating the stagnant yin energy within her! Of all the people I've seen over the years, only you have the most abundant yang energy. What's rare is that Yue'er also has feelings for you, and you don't reject her..."

The woman didn't say anything more, but Li Xingzhi already understood.

Although he always had some fantasies in his head, that was all. But when it really came down to it, Li Xingzhi, a virgin in both his lives, hesitated.

He felt a pang of guilt as he thought of the girl's still-childish face.

However, Li Xingzhi then thought of the girl's illness and Erlang, who was still unconscious in the cave. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I agree! Don't worry, I will definitely not let Yue'er down!"

"So good!"

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard what Li Xingzhi said.

"Clap!!"

The woman clapped her hands twice, and then, with a creak, the door was pushed open, and a slender young woman walked in gracefully, shyly bowing to the woman.

"Mother-in-law!"

The woman smiled and nodded, looking at the girl with a loving expression, but her eyes revealed regret and guilt.

If it weren't for her, Yue'er wouldn't have suffered for so many years, nor would she have had to submit to this Han man! However, after today, everything will be alright. As for this Han man... Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes! I hope Yue'er will understand my good intentions in the future.

"I'll be going now. After you've paid your respects to the witch god, you can proceed with your ceremony." With that, the woman got up and walked out.

Suddenly, the woman paused, as if she had thought of something, and took out a small cloth bag from her bosom, handing it to Li Xingzhi.

"So you won't worry—this contains the method to break your brother's curse."

Li Xingzhi took the small pouch and was about to open it when the woman stopped him.

"The contents are written inside. I, the priestess, never lie! As for what's inside, you can look at it later when you have time." If you're still alive tomorrow…
