Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

Xu Lingguang had probably reached the system's bottom line, and he brought up the same old story again, even more shamelessly than before.

The system paused for a moment, then said, "If the host encounters a life-threatening situation, as long as the soul is not destroyed, the host can draw spiritual dew from the system to repair the body and be resurrected."

The Spirit Dew has this effect?

Xu Lingguang narrowed his eyes, pushing his luck: "This spirit dew is a good thing, can you give me a little more?"

The system's mechanical voice suddenly became erratic, and for some reason, it spoke haltingly: "Host, you can earn points through missions and exchange them for spirit dew."

Xu Lingguang pouted, his tone dissatisfied: "Fine."

System: "Does the host have any other questions? If not, I'm going into hibernation."

Xu Lingguang quickly called out to it and continued asking questions, as if it had a hundred thousand whys.

"Wait, there's another problem."

What is hibernation?

The system is still lagging: "In the words of a cultivator, it's called entering a meditative state."

Xu Lingguang said, "If you enter a meditative state, will you still be able to hear my plea for help? And also, what if I go to a brothel and do *that*, you won't be able to see me, will you?"

He spoke in a tone that made people feel incredibly embarrassed.

The system became even more laggy, and even started crackling with electricity: "Okay... crackling, I can hear the host's call. The rest, I can't see."

Xu Lingguang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved. You can go into hibernation now. I'll try my best to complete the mission. I'll call you again if I can't handle it."

The system has stopped making noise; it seems to have truly gone into hibernation.

After finishing his conversation with the system, Xu Lingguang seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that this system is not as comprehensive and intelligent as the systems in the novels he has read. At least for now, it cannot observe the situation around Xu Lingguang. It seems that it can only issue tasks and then force Xu Lingguang to complete the tasks through punishment or reward mechanisms.

Following the usual pattern, this kind of system might upgrade itself as the host completes tasks and receives rewards.

If the system is upgraded and more functions are added, that would be very bad.

Therefore, Xu Lingguang decided to feign compliance for the time being, and only consider completing the mission after he could no longer delay or found another solution.

With that in mind, he pulled out the book "Slaying Gods" and read it repeatedly.

The cover was still not visible; only the text and the beginning of the first page were visible. Xu Lingguang didn't have much information, but in summary, a hundred years later, Lan Jian became the Demon King for some unknown reason and ordered the demon race to invade the human race, resulting in the fall of 62 of the 72 cities of Shangyang.

A truly devastating villain.

Xu Lingguang, as the chosen one selected by the system, will rely on the system to upgrade and make plans a hundred years in advance to nip the future demon king in the bud, thus achieving the lofty and great goal of saving humanity and the world.

Xu Lingguang's gaze refocused on Lan Jian's stunningly beautiful face: "Is this the biggest villain in the book?"

Lan Jian looked at him with confusion: "What's wrong?"

Xu Lingguang said seriously, "I'm wondering, what would have been your reason for joining the demon race and becoming a villain who slaughters humans?"

Based on Xu Lingguang's understanding of Lan Jian, apart from himself and his cubs, all other humans or demons were equally ignored in Lan Jian's eyes.

Before Xu Lingguang accidentally stumbled into the Ailao Mountains, Lan Jian had stayed in the Ailao Mountains for many years taking care of the cubs, rarely even leaving the house.

For Lan Jian to suddenly transform into a demon king and slaughter humans on a massive scale, something must have happened.

Lan Jian was completely confused, but guessed that it might be related to the system. After thinking for a while, he said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator and its debtor. If a human cultivator offends me, I will kill the cultivator. Why should I slaughter humans?"

Xu Lingguang also thought so, so according to the development in the book, something must have happened in the following hundred years that caused Lan Jian's personality to change drastically.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Lingguang thought of the time-limited task that was pinned to the top of the task list.

His mission required him to capture three baby yellow charioteers.

Of the three young charioteers in Ailao Mountain, only Youyu, Yurong, and Yunfeng are known.

Lan Jian doesn't care about many things, the most important thing is the cubs. Could something have happened to the cubs?

Xu Lingguang immediately sat up straight and said, "What if something happens to the cub? For example, if it gets captured by human cultivators?"

Lan Jian had clearly never considered this possibility. He paused for a moment before frowning and saying, "No cultivator can take the cubs away from Ailao Mountain."

Xu Lingguang asked, "What if? What would you do?"

Lan Jian paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He had never imagined this possibility.

Xu Lingguang had a vague guess in his mind: a hundred years later in the book, Lan Jian's personality changed drastically and he became the Demon King, which was very likely related to the cubs.

Moreover, the system has been encouraging him to complete the timed tasks.

Thinking of this, Xu Lingguang felt a chill run down his spine and became even more determined, saying, "We absolutely cannot let it succeed."

He had only read the first page of that book; there was more content to come. He needed to find a way to see what happened to the cubs to determine if something had happened to them, which caused Lan Jian to take his anger out on the human race and lead the demon race to slaughter them.

Thinking of this, Xu Lingguang couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly pulled Lan Jian up, saying, "Let's go see what the little ones are doing."

Compared to Xu Lingguang's anxiety and worry, the little ones seemed much more carefree.

The cave that served as the main hall was in complete disarray, with scattered gems everywhere and the little creatures chasing each other in a chaotic mess.

Xu Lingguang and Lan Jian stepped on a gemstone as soon as they entered the door.

Looking at the cubs again, Yu Rong was biting Sui Chun's tail, Sui Chun was pulling on Mu Yun's ear, and Mu Yun was tightly gripping Yun Feng's neck with both paws. Yun Feng tried to run away, kicking Mu Yun's belly hard with its hind paws.

As for Zhaoling and the little chick, they sat bewildered in the circle formed by the cubs. The little Qilin, who understood nothing at all, thought the new game was so much fun and excitedly stepped on the cubs, making whimpering sounds.

On the chandelier hanging from the cave ceiling, Qi Tu and Chaos poked their heads out and nudged the fire in high-pitched voices: "Hey, Mu Yun, don't let go of her claws, Yun Feng is going to run away!"

Yu, now in her original form, squatted on another chandelier, glaring angrily at him: "Don't stir up trouble."

But Qitu and Chaos wouldn't listen and even provoked them: "Why don't you go down and break up the fight?"

Youyu looked down at the chaotic battlefield below, then at her own smooth and beautiful fur. The fur on her chest, which was originally very fluffy, had been bitten off by the cubs during the melee, making her look ugly!

He wanted to break up the fight, but he also didn't want the little cub to pull out his fur again, so he frowned in a dilemma.

Xu Lingguang, who witnessed all of this: "..."

There are too many brats; if I'm not around for a moment, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.
