Ever since the "Godly Rich System" came along, I've been trending on social media eve

"Bai Ran, you've really grown bolder." Lin Xi's voice was still light and airy, but it carried an innate sense of pressure that made people's knees go weak.

Bai Ran? Is that the name of the divine messenger?

Nan Yanxi's body trembled slightly, but he murmured to himself.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the divine messenger, Bai Ran, instinctively trembled, yet it still felt as if the voice were whispering in his ear.

A subtle, enigmatic smile played on Bai Ran's lips.

Bai Ying, do you think I'm still the same Bai Ran as before? You're mistaken.

"My lord, that shadow is too arrogant, daring to call you by your name directly. She should be made to..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ran flicked her sleeve and sent him flying.

She is not someone these inferior people can judge!

Bai Ran, let me have a go at you and see how far you've come.

As soon as the idea came to mind, a woman dressed in pink appeared in front of Lin Xi instantly.

"Long time no see, Ying, you... you're still so vain."

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Xi slightly raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with icy eyes.

"You seem to have forgotten your place. How dare you speak to me like that, a mere maid?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of air emanated from Lin Xi and headed straight for Bai Ran. Bai Ran was clearly no pushover either; in an instant, she dodged it, a smug smile spreading across her face.

"After all these years, you still use the same old tricks. The young master of the Bai family is getting more and more useless."

"You talk too much." After Lin Xi finished speaking, her mental energy spread out, and an invisible force radiated outward from Bai Ran. The surrounding air suddenly became heavy, the wind began to swirl and gather around, the grass and trees shook violently, and the dewdrops on the leaves were squeezed out by the invisible force and suspended in the air.

Bai Ran looked at the scene before her and exclaimed in surprise, "Your mental power has reached this level?"

Lin Xi ignored her and turned her eyes to ice blue. Instantly, all the dewdrops condensed into ice crystals. She gently waved her arm, and the ice crystals shot towards Bai Ran like a rainstorm. The latter hurriedly used his mental power to create an invisible barrier.

A hissing sound filled the air as Bai Ran staggered backward. The invisible barrier was shattered in an instant, and drops of blood fell to the ground, instantly absorbed by the grass.

The clothes of the people around him were all cut, and everyone was lying on the ground, except for Nan Yanxi, who was kneeling and gritting his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

As the ice crystals scattered, Bai Ran's disheveled appearance was revealed, with her hair sticking messily to her forehead and large bloodstains on her cheeks and arms.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief. "You...you actually obtained the power of ice?" Bai Ran's voice trembled slightly. "This is impossible. How could elemental power exist in this world?"

Elemental power? So this is what elemental power is called!

Lin Xi herself was somewhat surprised. She looked down at her palm and saw a thin layer of frost spreading across her skin and then quickly melting away. Unlike mental power, this was a completely new and more primal force.

Lin Xi looked up, her tone still calm, "It seems that after all these years, you still haven't made any progress."

"I see. No wonder the thunder last time lasted so long. No wonder, no wonder."

Bai Ran seemed deeply shocked, muttering to herself with her head down, her lips losing their color. But the next moment, she suddenly raised her head, a fiery glint flashing in her eyes:

"Since you possess this ability, doesn't this world belong to us?"

Lin Xi stared at her intently, her tone icy, "You... have completely changed!"

"What's wrong with this!" Bai Ran spread his arms wide, his eyes blazing with fervor as he looked at the heavens and earth. "Do you know what it means to be the rule here!"

Bai Ran turned around, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes, "Am I wrong to think this way? How many times! How many times! Bai Ying, when have you ever won? For so many years, we've been stuck in this godforsaken place!"

Lin Xi's expression remained unchanged as she calmly gazed at the woman before her, who was gradually becoming deranged.

“You’re always like this, always so calm.” Bai Ran looked at her, a hint of bloodshot in his eyes. “I’m not like you. I’ve lived in this world for so many years, and it has worn away all my expectations. I don’t want that anymore. I just want to be the king here.”

After Bai Ran finished speaking, an excited smile appeared on her face. "Lin Xi, don't you want to? You are already infinitely close to the pinnacle of this world. Here, as long as you behave yourself, you can live any life you want. This is the life that so many people dream of."

Lin Xi glanced at her indifferently, unmoved. "Do you know why you've been alive until now?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ran was startled, and some memories that had been carefully sealed away surged forth as if a floodgate had been opened.

"You bunch of lunatics, we did nothing wrong!"

"Why should you have the final say? Why should you be in charge?"

"I should go up there. How could I let the young lady shield us!"

“You’ll only cause trouble if you go over there. Quickly settle the others down.”

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. At worst, I'll fail again!"

"Sister Ying, no."

"It's okay if you fail! I'll come back, remember... I said that..."

……

I know, I've always known, that I'm alive now because of the person in front of me. Even though she didn't save me, I've survived time and time again because of her sacrifice!

She saved everyone, but not herself!

But so what! I don't want to fight anymore. Life is life, no matter where you are! Maybe I can live better here!

Yes, I can live a better life!

Lin Xi stared at Bai Ran as if mesmerized, her eyes turning a hint of crimson. She sighed softly.

"Unexpectedly, they still reached out their hands."

"what?"

"It's nothing. I haven't had a good night's sleep in so many years."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Ran felt a sense of unease. The next second, her whole body went limp and she collapsed. Nan Yanxi glided over and caught her with his body, a thin layer of sweat appearing on his face.

"Have her come to me after she wakes up."

Lin Xi withdrew her hand, placing it behind her back, her fingertips trembling slightly. Clearly, that last move had taken a lot of effort.

"Then how can I find you?"

"She'll know when she wakes up."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, she turned and left. Her steps were swift, and she disappeared from the spot almost instantly.

Nan Yanxi stared at the spot where she had disappeared, his dark eyes narrowing slightly, a clear look of inquiry in them.

......

[Nan Yanxi's favorability rating was detected as -50.]

Lin Xi quickly returned to the place she had been before. Looking at the small wooden house she had visited once before, she raised her hand, just about to knock on the door.

The door creaked open...
