Even hybrid monsters have their day

Chapter 92: Can the system also malfunction?

Meeting Xiaobai and Geng Miaowan's eager gazes, Xu Ruwen said somewhat awkwardly, "I only know that in my time and space, it was once a treasure guarded by the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family. But after the war between humans, demons, and monsters a thousand years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family disappeared, and the Nuwa Stone has been missing ever since."

Geng Miaowan and Xiaobai both gave him a look of disdain, and he retorted somewhat unwillingly, "However, in recent years, I have heard some demons say that they seem to have seen something similar to Nuwa Stone on the demon in Buzhou Mountain."

"You mean... there's a demon on Mount Buzhou?" Before Geng Miaowan and Xiaobai could react, Luan Hao spoke first, "How could there be a demon on Mount Buzhou?"

"I don't know about that; I've only heard about it."

Geng Miaowan patted Xiaobai and said comfortingly, "It's okay, we'll go there next time and see. If it really is on that demon, we'll capture it and bring it over."

"Stop dreaming. That demon is definitely not someone you can handle. Last time, I encountered a sand crawler demon that came running wildly from Mount Buzhou. When it was lucid, it told me that the demon's level was at least higher than the Demon Emperor. Nearly half of Mount Buzhou was already shrouded in its demonic energy, and it too had its mind corrupted by the demonic energy. At that time, it had already cultivated for nearly two thousand years! Some of those with lower cultivation levels were directly devoured by the demonic energy and died!"

"So powerful..." Geng Miaowan was stunned. She knew about the Sand Crawler Demon; its cultivation was indeed very high, but those with lower cultivation were directly devoured and died. What kind of realm must that be...?

"Then I have no hope of recovery..." Xiaobai was also stunned.

Luan Hao remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. However, Geng Miaowan sensed that the purple mist within her body was becoming uneasy. The room fell silent for a long time before Geng Miaowan shouted, "Forget it, let's put these things aside for now. The mission is the most important thing."

After saying that, she opened her bag, took out a stack of documents, and handed one of them to Xu Ruwen. "Take a close look at this, so that nothing goes wrong."

Xu Ruwen took the document and frowned, "So little information?"

Geng Miaowan sighed softly and said, "I have to figure it all out myself..."

Early the next morning, Geng Miaowan, together with Xu Ruwen, rang the doorbell of a villa in the city's upscale villa district, but no one answered the door after ringing for a long time. She looked down at the information in the file in confusion, and after confirming that the address was correct, she continued to ring the doorbell, as if she was determined to keep going.

About ten minutes later, just as Xu Ruwen suggested that he sneak in to see if anyone was inside, the villa's door opened from the inside without warning.

A young man wearing a silk robe and sporting a messy brown hairstyle yelled at them, "You'd better have a legitimate reason!" He didn't even open his eyes as he spoke.

This scene stunned Geng Miaowan, who was standing at the door.

It wasn't a silk bathrobe. It wasn't his messy brown hair, nor his sleepy-eyed appearance, but rather that unparalleled face.

It was him!

"The contrast is too great..." Xiaobai said in her mind.

"They're like a persistent ghost," Luan Hao said coldly.

"What, you two know each other?" Xu Ruwen joined in.

“We know him, but he doesn’t know us.” Geng Miaowan was still in shock. The main reason was that the person in front of her was so different from the ones she had seen before. It completely ruined the perfect image in her mind.

The previous times I saw him in the ancient space, he always had an otherworldly and dignified appearance, but the one in front of me was full of the unruliness of today's youth.

However, those aloof and detached features, paired with such worldly anxieties, don't seem out of place.

His appearance is truly suitable for both ancient and modern times. Even now, with his unkempt appearance, he is in no way inferior to those popular superstars.

She even dared to say that if he became a star, he would definitely charm a huge number of girls and become a superstar without a doubt.

Xu Ruwen asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Bai timely cleared up his confusion, saying, "We've seen him in another dimension." And not just once.

"So magical..."

"You can snap out of it now," Luan Hao coldly reminded him. He didn't understand why Peng Yuxian was so irritating, yet Geng Miaowan always seemed to be amazed by him whenever she saw him.

It's really an eyesore.

Geng Miaowan quickly regained her composure. After all, it wasn't their first meeting. She composed herself and said to him, "Hello, are you looking for partners here?"

"Are you an exorcist?" Hearing her say that, the man finally opened his eyes and looked at her.

Geng Miaowan nodded repeatedly.

He observed that she appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a pet dog in her arms. Her long, ink-black hair cascaded down her back, gleaming healthily in the morning sunlight. Beneath her well-defined eyebrows were a pair of large, innocent-looking eyes. Coupled with her delicate nose and rosy lips, she exuded a pure and innocent charm.

She looks like a girl next door, how could she possibly be associated with an exorcist?

Thinking of this, Peng Yuxian said casually, "Little girl, go play somewhere cool." He seemed to be saying that he was already being very magnanimous by not arguing with her for waking him up.

After saying that, he closed the door and went back inside.

Geng Miaowan stomped her foot in anger, "How did Peng Yuxian turn out like this... Is the result of human evolution that male gods are transformed into male losers?"

"What do we do now?" Xiaobai asked.

She rang the doorbell again, and a moment later, the door opened once more. This time, before he could speak, Geng Miaowan flashed her identification in front of him. Peng Yuxian quickly took it, glanced at it, and asked, "Are you really an exorcist?"

"How could this be fake?" she said, snatching the document back from his hand. It was obviously fake; a closer look would definitely reveal the problem.

She carefully put away her documents and said to him in a serious tone, "Hello, I am Shen Meiling, and this is my companion Zhuoran. We saw your post online and were very interested, so we came all the way from the city."

"Wait a minute." The door slammed shut again in front of them.

This time, Geng Miaowan wasn't angry; she simply stood there quietly waiting. A few minutes later, the door opened again, and Peng Yuxian had changed into casual clothes. His slender figure, well-tailored clothes, and young, handsome face made him look like a model.

"Hello, my name is Peng Yuxian." He had just checked the exorcist forum and found that there was indeed a couple named Shen Meiling and Zhuoran who were active as exorcists in the city. Although the woman was slightly different from the photo, the man looked exactly like the one in the photo.

He stepped aside to let Geng Miaowan and Xu Ruwen into the house.

After a brief discussion, the group agreed on a price and formally established a cooperative relationship. Following this, Peng Yuxian produced a stack of documents.

Geng Miaowan took the data and glanced at it, then cursed in her mind, "Damn it, even the system makes mistakes?" (To be continued.)
