Yue Xiuzhi picked up the chirping little yellow chicken, pulled the dull hair on the top of its head, and said, “Then you come with me to find your master.” 

It’s too shameful for someone who came to save his own apprentice to lose his own apprentice now.

Fortunately, he had imprinted his spiritual consciousness on Xiao Ming before, just in case he lost him. Now he can know his approximate location, but it is far away.

There are many dangers in the Spirits Returning secret realm, and his current realm has also fallen to the Sage Realm. If he is unlucky and gets to some particularly dangerous place, he will not be able to get there in a while.

Yue Xiuzhi put the little yellow chicken on his shoulders and used his body skills to run. 

The cultivation base of the Sage Realm can reach thousands of miles a day if it is fully exerted. Although this speed is fast, the Spirits Returning secret realm itself is extremely huge. The location also takes two days.

Only in the Reunification State can you shrink the ground into an inch and fly, but at the moment Yue Xiuzhi only has the cultivation base of the sage state.

Yue Xiuzhi was anxious in his heart, but he could only hurry on with his best. The little yellow chicken hooked the clothes on his shoulders with its small claws obediently, but because the speed of Yue Xiuzhi was too fast, the wind kept blowing on it. After standing for a while, it was blown all over its hair, and its little claws couldn’t grab the clothes.

So it flew quietly to the top of Yue Xiuzhi’s head, and hid in Yue Xiuzhi’s hair, only revealing a small yellow furry head.

The little yellow chicken turned his face down when his face hurt from blowing, and put his butt on it, and then changed his head back when his butt hurt from blowing—it seemed busier than Yue Xiuzhi, who was on the road.

So when Pei Daming came to find Yue Xiuzhi, he saw a bird’s butt lying on top of this guy’s head.

Pei Daming: “…”

Inexplicably, I feel a little cute… 

Pei Ming’s speed was fast because he is a soul body, and his own soul body has a detachment cultivation, but it can’t affect the real world. It still has the ability to shrink his soul body into inches.

But since he just seemed to have some connection with the rules of this world, he seems to be able to touch the entity.

In order to verify his conjecture, Pei Ming tentatively poked the yellow thing on the top of Yue Xiuzhi’s head.

He saw him poke the yellow furry thing out of a shallow pit, and then immediately recovered. Then the little thing yelled loudly in an instant, and his hair was blown all over with anger. Xiao Dou looked left and right to find the person who poked him. 

And yet… nothing.

It had no choice but to continue lying down.

Pei Ming looked at his hands in surprise.

He can actually touch entities… This is really good news. 

Maybe it’s time to find a time to see if I can materialize my soul body as well.

At this moment, Pei Ming could clearly see the whole picture of the bright yellow thing. It turned out to be a young phoenix. It should be the one raised by that brat, but Yue Xiuzhi met it by such a coincidence.

He was so angry that he stomped on the top of Yue Xiuzhi’s head—that is, his little paws were hopping on Yue Xiuzhi’s hair, and his little wings kept flapping, and he chirped even more angrily.

Yue Xiuzhi finally noticed its fuss, stretched out his hand to hold it down, grabbed it, helped it adjust its posture, continued to lie on top of his head, and then said to Little Phoenix: “Don’t make trouble.”

Little Phoenix felt extremely wronged! 

Obviously someone deliberately provoked him!

After rushing for a long time, the system suddenly went online.

[There is a human-faced spider at the peak of the Sage Realm three kilometers ahead. It is brutal by nature and has a strong tendency to attack. It is recommended to detour.]

Yue Xiuzhi immediately detoured and nodded in his heart, thinking that this stupid system could be regarded as a rare human thing. 

Pei Ming, who had been on the road with Yue Xiuzhi for a long time, suddenly noticed some strange fluctuations.

It seemed that someone was talking…but he couldn’t hear anything clearly.

But Yue Xiuzhi suddenly took a detour without warning, as if he heard something.

Pei Ming raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something. 

But this fluctuation disappeared quickly.

Pei Ming felt a little regretful and decided to catch it the first moment it appeared next time.

The system didn’t know that he was being targeted by the BOSS, and still worked hard to help Yue Xiuzhi survey the terrain.

After another hour and a half, Yue Xiuzhi heard the system’s reminder again: [There is a poisonous gas barrier two kilometers ahead, the poison is strong, it is recommended…] 

Yue Xiuzhi decisively changed direction when he heard the first half of the sentence, and was about to say something casually. Kua Kua, a system that is rare to do personnel affairs, but heard the system yelling as if something went wrong suddenly: [Suggestion… Didi! Under unknown attack! Turning on the protection…failed! Fail%#￥#&Failed… Forced…to be separated from @#host&#￥*&…]

Hearing a bunch of garbled characters, Yue Xiuzhi’s face was stunned: “…???”

[System …? What’s wrong with you? Can you hear me?]

He tried to contact the system, but there was no response. 

Damn… Did this idiot system get caught after doing too many unconscionable things?

If this matter were changed to normal, he would definitely gloat ten thousand times, but now he still needs the system to help him monitor whether there is any danger ahead. Without the system, it would be a bit inconvenient.

Although his spiritual consciousness is not low, but his spiritual consciousness is not systematic and easy to use. He wouldn’t be able to feel it if some powerful monsters hid deliberately. Moreover, intangible things like those poisonous gas barriers are also difficult to detect with spiritual consciousness.

Besides, it is impossible for him to keep his divine sense on all the time. The consumption of running with all his strength is already high, and if it is added to the consumption of using his divine sense all the time, he will not be able to bear it. 

Ugh.

Yue Xiuzhi thought with some melancholy: If the system really suffered retribution, couldn’t the retribution wait for the system to complete this rare personnel task before retaliating against it?

Although it would be troublesome without the system, but the road still has to continue, Yue Xiuzhi can only take one step at a time and continue on the road.

But he didn’t know that the so-called “retribution” system was actually captured by the BOSS next to him. 

When Pei Ming sensed the fluctuation again, he quickly pulled him out.

The form that the system presented to Pei Ming’s soul body was a small white spot of light.

Pei Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at this thing with interest.

[Who are you? ] 

He heard the light spot’s uncertain inquiry

Pei Ming didn’t answer this question, but instead asked it a question: [The thing that has been threatening Yue Xiuzhi, is that you?]

Only then did the system discover that the person who caught it was a soul body with the exact same face as Pei Ming!

[You are… Pei Ming? Why are you here?] 

Pei Ming ignored him: [Answer my question, is it you who has been threatening Yue Xiuzhi?]

Threats to Yue Xiuzhi?

The system felt a chill.

In this world, it didn’t force Yue Xiuzhi to do anything, but in the last world…it did… 

Besides, Pei Ming of this world is obviously not here, but there is a person who is thousands of miles away from here; Pei Ming in soul form.

And if you look closely, you will find that they are not exactly the same, the Pei Ming in front of you has a more mature face, not like the 18-year-old Pei Ming, but like… the final appearance of the Pei Ming in the previous life.

The system felt a chill and felt that it had discovered something extraordinary.

This is Pei Ming from his previous life! 

He came from the body world!

And from the fact that he asked if it was “something that has been threatening Yue Xiuzhi”, he might have guessed something!

But the system is not human after all, and there is nothing to be afraid of, let alone the so-called “death”, so no matter how Pei Ming asks, he will not answer.

There are many mistakes, for a person like Pei Ming, he may find a flaw in anything it says. 

Seeing that he couldn’t come up with any questions, Pei Ming knew that if he continued to ask, there would be no result.

He then forcibly invaded this spot of light with his consciousness.

Suddenly, a huge amount of data washed over his mind.

He seems to have learned a lot of information scattered, but because the cultivation base of the soul body was only Detachment, he can’t get all the information for the time being, and can only understand one or two tenths of it. 

But even this one-tenth is enough for him to understand the truth.

… is enough for him to be crazy.

This thing is called a system, and it seems that the “host” needs to do something for the “protagonist”, because the “host” has something in its hands.

The so-called “protagonist” is the son of luck in one world. 

It is not difficult to guess that the so-called “host” refers to Yue Xiuzhi, and the “protagonist” refers to him, Pei Ming.

He can’t know what the so-called tasks are for the time being, but according to his world, Yue Xiuzhi in his world should also have such a system. These so-called tasks should include letting Yue Xiuzhi torture him when he was young and let him help him as Rong Jin.

The reason why it does this is to…maintain the balance of the world?

Ha, how funny. 

Pei Ming twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that all this was too ridiculous.

The suffering I have suffered has made me fall into hell. I thought I would never have light in my life – this is what you have done.

I have also received warmth and hope, and I thought that loneliness and darkness could no longer be close to me – this is what you have given.

My hope left me in a flash, and I fell into a deeper purgatory than hell – you took it away 

I thought I killed Rong Jin, I couldn’t sleep day and night, when I closed my eyes, I saw Rong Jin’s full head of white hair, and what he said to persuade me before the war.

He asked me not to go. Why didn’t I listen to him at the beginning? How nice would it be if I took him away directly?

If so, how could he… 

If so, how wonderful it would be.
