Chapter 111: Might Have to Wait
After Lan Lan finished speaking, it vanished.
A deep blue progress bar popped up on the panel in front of him, with a row of small characters below: “Loading latest data.”
Then, a faint sound of static came from within: [A new world is about to open. Please be prepared, host.]
[As a Dragon Aotian, you will have a new identity, the best luck in the world, and excellent aptitude. You will become the strongest man in the cultivation world, and the original protagonist of the world will be covered by you.]
[This plotline will start from the host’s childhood. You are about to be born into the most prosperous and powerful sect in the world, with the best cultivation resources and teachers. However, unfortunately, you will lose your father and mother at a young age…]
Feng Shi understood some of it but not all. He listened carefully as the system finished a long passage of text.
[Now, commencing transmission for you.]
After this sentence, Feng Shi’s shapeless body floating in the air was suddenly pulled forward by a force.
At first, the force was gentle, but then it suddenly intensified.
Feng Shi’s vision twisted. He felt the world spinning around him, and then he was pulled straight into the panel before him by this force.
[Transmitting…]
[Transmission successful.]
[We wish the host to become the world’s number one sword cultivator soon. Have a pleasant life.]
The system’s voice faded.
Feng Shi felt himself enter a warm place. His ears and eyes were blocked; he couldn’t hear or see.
Some fragmented images flashed rapidly through his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice suddenly came from his ear.
[Host! Waaaaah! You finally arrived…]
This voice was like a needle or a pricking tool, piercing the invisible thin membrane that surrounded Feng Shi’s body.
As the membrane popped like a water bubble, the surrounding sounds instantly poured into his ears like a tide.
[Host~ Host~ Host~]
After several calls in a row, the voice jumped back and forth between Feng Shi’s left and right ears, having a bit of the air of a ghost demanding a life.
Feng Shi felt a headache from being called. He subconsciously waved his hand, wanting to push away the person making the sound.
His eyes opened into a thin slit.
the light in the room was dim and not particularly piercing. Feng Shi blinked a few times and quickly adjusted.
The person who had been noisy in his ear earlier immediately leaned in when he saw him wake up.
[Host! Thank heavens you finally woke up! If you hadn’t, the milk on the table would have gone cold!]
Qing Qing extended its chubby little green hand and pointed not far away, its expression appearing a bit strange.
Feng Shi: “…”
Milk?
What milk?
He was momentarily stunned, a bit confused about the current situation.
His mind wasn’t quite working yet after just waking up, but he quickly noticed the first thing that was wrong.
What the hell… were the things around him a bit too big?
Also, Feng Shi looked down and moved his wrists back and forth. Then, he confirmed that the small, chubby hand in front of him was his…
“Tch…”
Feng Shi frowned. Then he raised his hand and touched the soft, chubby flesh on his face. He thought: How did I suddenly become a milk baby?
As if understanding his confusion, Qing Qing explained.
[Host, you are currently two years old.]
[This is the new identity created for you by the system. The body is also completely new and belongs to you alone. From now on, your life will enter a sub-line~]
After saying this, it didn’t hear a response from Feng Shi.
Looking down, it couldn’t help but shrink back a bit: [Ho-Host…]
A child who looked only two years old had such a cold expression on his face. Even Qing Qing couldn’t help but be a bit frightened.
Feng Shi turned his head, his gaze falling on the dim sunlight passing through the wooden door and landing on the ground. His entire being became somber, as if he were melting into the gloom: “Why… why did you let me come back to life?”
As he said this, his eyes were incredibly dim, and his voice was light and thin.
The memories in his mind had all returned not long ago.
Feng Shi closed his eyes, trying to isolate those chaotic images.
The agonizing pain from before death followed him, but it couldn’t compare to the despair and unwillingness in his heart.
Why did they let him come back to life…
Why let him linger in another world.
Thinking of every tiny detail of Shen Songhe’s expression before his consciousness was submerged, Feng Shi’s chest began to heave. His eyelids felt hot and turned red.
Before him, Qing Qing looked at him with concern. It wrung its hands and spoke carefully: [No… Host, you’ve misunderstood…]
[This is still the world of ‘I am the White Moonlight of the Entire Cultivation World’~]
The eyes of the once-despairing Feng Shi, who had wanted to die several times, suddenly snapped open: “???”
He was dazed for a long time.
He suddenly sprang up, pulled down the floating Qing Qing, and asked bluntly: “What… what did you say?”
He couldn’t quite believe his ears.
Qing Qing felt a bit guilty and rubbed its nose: [It’s, it’s just that, this is still the world you were in before… it’s just that, the time has been turned back a tiny bit…]
By the time it reached the end, its voice became smaller and smaller. It held its bald head, afraid that Feng Shi would settle the score once he realized the truth.
But fortunately, Feng Shi was immersed in a state of immense joy and hadn’t noticed the details for the time being.
His chubby little face turned a beautiful, delicious pink because of the excitement and joy. Feng Shi sat cross-legged and excitedly shook the Qing Qing in his hand.
His round, dark eyes were bright and sparkling. He asked one question after another: “Then… then can I still see Shizun? Shen Songhe! After I died, what happened to him? Nothing bad happened, right?”
Qing Qing, who was being shaken until it was dizzy: [You can see him. But… you might have to wait… and nothing bad happened…]
Once Feng Shi heard the confirmed result, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood brightened.
As for waiting, he didn’t care.
He’s just sleeping, so it shouldn’t be a problem, Qing Qing thought.
It was also at this time that the door beside them was pushed open with a creak. Immediately after, a person moved quickly and flashed inside.
His voice arrived before he did.
“Hey! My little darling, why did you wake up and not even cry a bit?”
The person who entered was very fast. Before Feng Shi could even turn his head, he felt himself being picked up by a pair of hands.
Feng Shi, who had suddenly been taken to the “heavens”: “…”
Looking down, the person holding him was a middle-aged man with a long, dark beard. He looked to be about forty years old. The smile on his face was exceptionally bright, with fine wrinkles.
[Host, he is your new Shizun…] Qing Qing reminded him.
Feng Shi knit his brows: The difference between this Shizun and the other one is too vast.
“Oh, my dear disciple, it’s all Master’s fault. This beast milk has gone cold. Hehe, are you hungry? Master will feed you some milk!”
Feng Shi’s eyelids twitched: ! Where did this old creep come from!
This man, like a woman, sat Feng Shi on his lap. Then, with a flick of his finger, he took a new jade cup from the table and pulled out fresh beast milk from his storage pouch to pour into it.
Smelling that strong scent, Feng Shi’s face turned sallow. When the other took a spoon and began awkwardly stuffing it into his mouth, he used his small hand to gently push it away and refused: “No.”
His voice was clear, but unfortunately, it carried a bit of a child’s lilt. It sounded like he was having a cute little tantrum.
Feng Shi’s face turned red. He tried and felt that there was already a tiny bit of spiritual energy in his body. So he quickly jumped off the other’s lap and, relying on that bit of spiritual energy, landed steadily.
Damn it, an adult being held and fed milk? He could get goosebumps all over his body!
The man behind him clearly hadn’t expected him to do this. The expression on his face was completely stunned. The jade bowl in his hand, which was clearly valuable, was crushed into powder in his suddenly tightened grip.
Then.
In the blink of an eye, every person and beast on the mountain heard the man’s wild laugh, which almost blew the roof off the house.
Feng Shi: “…”
