Free Web NovelChapter 274: Chapter 272: Liger...
The little monk placed his hand in Wen Ying’s palm, looking up at her timidly. But there seemed to be other emotions mixed in with his shyness.
The autumn wind wasn’t bleak; the forest was still lush and green, with an occasional breeze rustling through.
The little monk said nothing, and neither did Wen Ying.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk, but the system’s long-absent voice was echoing non-stop in her mind.
[Congratulations, Host, you have initiated a key task.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have unlocked a key character.]
[Congratulations, Host, you are about to discover a new... xxx]
[Congratulations, Host, your reputation value has reached eighty million.]
...
[Congratulations, Host. Are you happy?] frёeωebɳovel.com
The barrage of congratulations made Wen Ying’s head spin.
From the moment Wen Ying took the little monk’s hand, the system had been spamming congratulations as if it were bugged.
Wen Ying could guess that this little monk was no ordinary child.
But for the system to shower her with so many congratulations, his importance was clearly far greater than she imagined.
When she first saw the little monk, Wen Ying had wondered if there was a hidden temple nearby.
Was there some great master in the temple?
But the director had asked the locals, and there were no temples or monks anywhere around here.
Yet this little one before her, with his big, ethereal eyes looking at Wen Ying, had an aura that was completely out of place with everyone else present.
"I’m happy."
"How much time is left?"
[Ah, what is the Host saying? This system can’t hear you clearly.]
[I’ve been experiencing some glitches recently. This system needs to hibernate for a while.]
"For how long?"
[A day? Or maybe half a day? The Host can call upon this system whenever you need anything. I am here to serve the Host wholeheartedly.]
’So it just didn’t want to answer my question!’
"I want to do the lottery draw. Ten times."
The large lottery wheel that appeared before her looked no different than usual.
"Start."
[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn: two sets of monk’s clothes, two pairs of shoes, one peach, Thank You For Playing, two Exorcism Red Ropes, half a Wisdom Eye, and one-time use of an immobilization spell.]
Wen Ying understood the monk’s clothes, shoes, peach, and Exorcism Red Ropes.
’But what was half a Wisdom Eye?’
’Was this to prepare for the situation she was about to face?’
’And what was she supposed to do with a one-time use immobilization spell?’
The system provided answers almost the instant Wen Ying had these thoughts.
[Monk’s clothes: Prepared for him.]
[Shoes: Prepared for him.]
[Peach: He likes it, and he’s very hungry.]
[Exorcism Red Rope: A retractable red string that wards off evil. It’s more powerful than the Host imagines, you know. It can be used by multiple people. In short, the Host will definitely need it.]
[Wisdom Eye: From the Wisdom Eye of a certain legendary Living Buddha. Although it’s only half an eye, its existence allows one to see through all illusions and face reality. At critical moments... The Buddha said: It cannot be told... But because this is a low-spec version, the number of uses for this Wisdom Eye is limited. It can only be used three times, you know. Please remember this, Host.
Using this Wisdom Eye has a specific requirement: the user must be pure of heart and untainted of body. Like him, for instance.
This Wisdom Eye is highly compatible with him, you know. Isn’t this system especially generous?]
[Immobilization Spell: Can render people or other creatures immobile, including the soul bodies that most in this world believe do not exist. The incantation... might be a tiny bit embarrassing, but the Host shouldn’t mind. Safety is what’s most important!
Before use, you must shout: "This beautiful girl is the prettiest in the world, let’s get it!"
And it will take effect.]
When Wen Ying heard this, she cringed so hard she felt she could have dug a whole new apartment out of the floor.
’The monk’s clothes, shoes, peach, and even the Wisdom Eye were all prepared for him!’
’Who was "him"?’
’There was no need to even hesitate. It was the little one beside her, still holding her hand!’
Wen Ying knew without even having to guess.
Most of the rewards were prepared for the little monk.
Sensing Wen Ying’s distraction, the little monk shook her hand. He looked up at her with his big, glistening eyes and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Shihuhu..."
Listen!
Look!
’Could anyone really feel jealous of such an adorable face and a voice that nearly made one’s motherly instincts overflow?’
"What’s a ’Liger’?"
The little monk looked at Wen Ying, a little worried and concerned. "Liger... what are you thinking? Do you not like Kong Jian anymore?"
’Kong Jian?’
’That name certainly fit the identity of a monk.’
’And it suited this little one before her.’ freewёbnoνel.com
"Are you hungry?"
Kong Jian’s eyes lit up when he heard Wen Ying’s words!
’Liger really did care about him the most! She even knew he was hungry, even though he’d just eaten not long ago.’
Seeing Kong Jian’s sparkling gaze, Wen Ying knew she was right. After all, how could the system be wrong?
’If it said he was hungry, then Kong Jian was definitely hungry.’
"Shihuhu... hungry..."
Kong Jian seemed a little shy. He lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers.
"Look. Do you like it?"
Kong Jian looked up and saw a large peach in Liger’s hand. The peach was rosy-white and looked exceptionally appetizing.
"Can I?"
"Go on, eat."
Kong Jian took the peach with both hands, and after taking a huge bite, his eyes curved into crescents.
Before Wen Ying could notice, the peach pit had also vanished into Kong Jian’s little belly.
"Shihuhu, peach is yummy. Like it. Not hungry."
Kong Jian’s speech was simple, but his meaning was clear.
"System, is this peach special or something?"
[Of course! This is a peach produced by this system, prepared especially for you... I mean, for him!]
"Does it have any special effects?"
[For him, it’s very difficult to feel full. The peach provided by this system will ensure he doesn’t go hungry today.]
"So he’s a big eater?"
[You could say that, but doesn’t it sound a little harsh? Doesn’t he look super, super cute?]
Wen Ying looked at Kong Jian. For the second time, she saw starlight appear in his eyes.
Wen Ying remembered that the first time it had appeared was when Kong Jian saw her.
The second time was now.
But when Kong Jian saw her looking at him, a flash of sadness seemed to pass through his eyes.
She always felt as if she and Kong Jian were fated to meet, but she couldn’t deduce anything about her own affairs.
When she looked at Kong Jian, his past was a shroud of mist, and his future was also a mist. But within that mist, she saw herself holding his hand.
She couldn’t see anything else.
This was the first time since coming to this world that Wen Ying couldn’t see a person’s past and future.
It was related to her.
"Kong Jian, how about we get you changed into some new clothes?"
Kong Jian didn’t speak. He looked down at his own clothes. He liked them, but he could see that they were dirty.
But he liked these clothes.
"The new clothes... Liger found for you, don’t you like them?"
"I like them."
When Kong Jian heard the word "Liger," his eyes filled with joy.
Wen Ying picked up a bag beside her. ’I have to admit, the system is quite thorough with its preparations at times like these.’
Inside the bag were the clothes and shoes she had won in the lottery.
Wen Ying took out the clothes. The size was practically tailor-made.
Kong Jian looked apprehensively at the clothes Liger was holding.
