one billionth

"Tell me, what is this?"

Chong Muxi stretched out her hand in front of Liu Guang, and on her white palm lay a milky white smooth stone, reflecting soft light under the illumination of "Meteor".

Liu Guang raised his head slowly, looking straight into her eyes.

The big black and white eyes are full of absolute sarcasm, like an adult who has caught a child who is secretly doing bad things, and is looking forward to her next reaction with great interest.

Seeing that Liu Guang didn't answer, Chong Muxi smiled.It's just that her smile, like her eyes, is full of sarcasm.

"Such a large space teleportation stone will cost a lot of money, right?" Chong Muxi looked at the stone in his palm, "Is this given to you by Bai Yi? Or did you ask Bai Yi for it?"

"..." Liu Guang didn't answer.

Chong Muxi withdrew her hand, playing with the smooth stone.The milky white stones are thrown up and down in the hands of white jade, which has a strange beauty.

"In order to leave me, you are really unscrupulous." The smile on Chong Muxi's face gradually narrowed, turning into extreme coldness, "Tell me, what should I do with you?"

"..." Liu Guang remained silent.

"I will confiscate this stone." Chong Muxi put the stone away, "I originally wanted to take you out today to let the wind go, but now that I look at it, forget it."

"Disobedient children, it's time to be punished."

Chong Muxi glanced at Liu Guang with his head down, turned around and walked towards the basement.

When she walked to the door, she heard a slight noise behind her, and Liu Guang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke to her.

"Your tenderness just now...was just to test me?"

Her voice is very low, if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it.I don't know if the questioning words are asking Chong Muxi or herself.

With such a low voice, she was asking herself.The answer is obvious, isn't it?But he still asked self-deceivingly.

Her tenderness just now...was purely to test her...

"No."

Liu Guang raised his head abruptly, surprised to hear the opposite answer.

"When I first came here, I really wanted to treat you gently."

Those gentle actions were not out of pretense, but out of her original intention.

"But you killed this tenderness with your own hands."

"..."

Streamer suddenly.

Chong Muxi stood at the door, leaning on the door frame and facing Liu Guang with her back. After saying those words, her head turned slightly, revealing a side face that was shockingly beautiful under the light of the stars.

Seeing that Chong Muxi was about to leave, Liu Guang suddenly panicked.Her space teleportation stone has been taken away, and she will be locked in this dark basement forever, because this action offended Chong Muxi, so she didn't know the year of the monkey before she could let her out.

This won't work... Liu Guang thought.Without the space teleportation stone, she is still locked here, and there is no possibility of her escaping.But there is no other way to escape, as long as Chong Muxi detests her and lets her go, that's it.

So... Chong Muxi can't just leave like this!

Chong Muxi, who was about to step away, suddenly heard Liu Guang shouting at her from behind:

"Chongmuxi, stop for me!"

==========

Liuguang Temple.

Yaozun has been in this empty hall for several days.

It was rare for him to maintain his interest for several days.It would be even better if it could continue, don't disappear so quickly.If it disappeared, he would be boring.

Maybe it's because this is the room where Ah Guang lived.Yaozun thought.There are bits and pieces of her here, which make him intoxicated, fascinated, and make him...crazy.

At this moment, he is sitting on the stone bench under the grape shelf in the southeast corner of the back garden, reading a book and tasting the ripe grapes.

"It's rare that Yaozun has such a leisurely time." A cold voice came from in front of him.

The Yaozun raised his head and found that there was a person sitting on the stone bench opposite the stone table which was originally empty.

The man was wearing a long red dress. The red color of the dress was extremely bright, like the kind of gorgeousness that can only be dyed by the blood of countless people. Instead of giving people a sense of festiveness, it would make people feel that it contained a lot of joy. Full of blood and murderous intent.

This is a god of death.

Contrary to that gorgeous dress, her appearance and temperament are extremely dusty, like a tall and green bamboo in the deep mountains in the morning, with a coldness and arrogance that others cannot ignore.

The perfect combination of gorgeousness and elegance is not only not contradictory and weird, but also makes her look extraordinarily charming.

Cold as the moon, charming as a monster.

"What can make your big Buddha come out?" Yaozun laughed jokingly, "Don't you think so, Leng Yue?"

——The seventh rose brought back by the Yaozun: Red Rose Lengyue.

==========

Next to the big tree outside the hall of fantasy.

Since Yin Xiaosha had given up on the mission, the golden and pink crystal pendant had returned to its original transparency, reflecting the crystal light under the sunlight.

"Tell me what the next task is." Yin Xiaosha looked at the transparent crystal pendant and said.

The system did not answer.However, a puff of black smoke suddenly filled the crystal pendant, gradually blurring the originally clear transparency into night-like black.

Yin Xiaosha's expression changed immediately.

"Mission character [Naran], the mission cannot be abandoned or canceled, and the mission begins from now on." The system's cold voice began to add insult to injury.

"Are you joking?" Yin Xiaosha asked incredulously, "Or did you do it on purpose?"

"It's random, player." The system's voice was still cold and unmechanical, and it was no longer as eerie and weird as before. "Besides, the player also knows that it will be her turn sooner or later, right? After so many tasks When it's her turn, the player's luck is already very good."

"...I still have one chance to give up the mission, right?"

After a long silence, Yin Xiaosha finally spoke.

"Yes, does the player want to..."

"Yes, I want to give up this mission."

It is impossible to arbitrarily give up or cancel random tasks in the system except for giving up with the specific "abandon" permission.

"Player, this is your last chance." The system warned coldly, "If the player uses this opportunity, the player must complete the next task, otherwise, I will take the player's life."

"You are so annoying." Yin Xiaosha flicked the crystal pendant lightly, "When I say give up, I really give up. I know this is the last chance, and you don't need to remind me."

"So... the player really wants to give up this mission?"

"Yes." Yin Xiaosha replied firmly, "Tell me about the next mission."

The black pendant gradually became transparent due to the abandonment of the mission, and a puff of purple smoke suddenly appeared in it, dyeing the pendant into a strange dark purple.

"Mission character [Leng Xing], the mission cannot be abandoned or canceled, and the mission begins from now on." The system read out mechanically.

"Leng Xing..." Yin Xiaosha narrowed her eyes and thought.As if she suddenly remembered something, she asked, "You asked me to kill Jiu Qiangwei, but Yaozun only brought back eight. So where is the ninth one?"

"..." The system was silent for a while, and then replied, "After the player finishes solving these eight, it will appear naturally."

Yin Xiaosha frowned.

The system used the word "appear" just now, which means that the ninth rose exists, but it is still unknown.Then the question arises, since the ninth flower already exists, why hasn't it been taken back by Yaozun?Why does no one know of her existence?Could it be that there is something restricting her now so that she cannot appear?And the death of the other eight is the condition for breaking this restriction?

It's really confusing.

Yin Xiaosha stopped thinking, and after thinking for a long time, her thoughts were messed up and she had no clue, which only added to her troubles.

"By the way." She asked again, "You haven't told me...why do you know my real name?"

"Because I am the system." The system answered concisely.

Yin Xiaosha was speechless for a moment: What else can you be if you are not a system?

But within a few seconds, she understood that what the system wanted to say was that he was the system and had everyone's information, so naturally he knew her real name.

Later, Yin Xiaosha asked a few more questions, but the system did not answer aloud.The system has always had its way, and he's been an enigma since the day she picked him up.

Until now, she didn't know much about him.

Yin Xiaosha glanced at the hall of fantasy.Now that she has given up on the missions of Liu Guang and Chong Muxi, there is no point in her staying here. It is better to leave quickly and go to the next mission.

"Leng Xing..." Yin Xiaosha chanted the name, feeling a little worried, "This one is not easy to deal with..."

This is a madman.

"Yeah, it's hard to deal with. Otherwise... I'll go with you."

The sound of an ethereal voice came to Yin Xiaosha's ears so abruptly.

Yin Xiaosha's eyes widened slightly in shock.This voice is...!

The voice came from behind, Yin Xiaosha turned around, and a touch of night-like black came into her eyes.

The visitor was wearing a long black dress, which was extremely complicated and gorgeous, with large black roses embroidered on it, beautiful and weird.Under the long slanted bangs are a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised upwards, not only did not bring any sense of charm, but revealed a touch of evil spirit and evil spirit for no reason.

"...So?" Yin Xiaosha felt that her voice had changed.

She...how did she appear here?

"I saw it." Na Ran smiled happily, "Xiao Sha just gave up the task of killing me."

Yin Xiaosha was even more shocked.

She has been here just now, so she... saw it all?

"But what I didn't expect was that Xiao Sha would let go of those two prey." Na Ran pointedly glanced at the Hall of Fantasy, and a trace of unhappiness flashed across her black eyes, "Didn't Xiao Sha say that she was very happy?" Are you selfish? Why... are you reluctant now? "

Naran's eyes were extremely black, like a black hole in the universe, without a trace of light.Under the gaze of her eyes, it seemed that all the spirit was sucked in, seductive.

What Yin Xiaosha is most afraid of is Naran's eyes, which are lifeless like stagnant water, like a pair of dead people's eyes.

"Selfishness has a bottom line." Yin Xiaosha said word by word.

She is selfish, but she also has her own bottom line.

"Oh, is that so?" Naran took a few steps forward and came to Yin Xiaosha's side, "If you have no chance to give up the mission, but you received the mission to kill me, then you... Will it kill me?"

"..."

Seeing Yin Xiaosha's expression of not wanting to answer, he patted her head and said, "Ann, I'm just asking for fun."

She smiled unpredictably.

Just asking for fun... that's all.
