Chapter 21

The system finally responded: "Regarding this matter, the system cannot determine it with certainty.

At present, it seems you can passively defeat Ye Xuan without issue, but taking the initiative is not recommended.

After all, if the plot collapses to a certain extent, it may still trigger a reincarnation reset."

Xu Chen rubbed his forehead. Great, the dog system is still a dog system.

I might as well stick to playing the villain properly; after all, Ye Xuan might not be able to beat him up anyway.

So he snatched the storage ring from Huo Ling'er: "Hand it over."

He took out all the good items from the storage ring, then tossed the ring back to her.

The others did the same.

In an instant, Xu Chen's storage ring gained several three- and four-grade spiritual herbs.

The disciples of the Fire Dao Academy were at a loss, their hard-earned spiritual herbs gone in an instant.

Sob, sob, the people of the Demonic Path and Xu Chen are all beasts!

Huo Ling'er said shyly, "You, you took my intimate clothing."

Xu Chen was stunned. He flipped through the contents and found a red belly-band in his storage ring.

He looked slightly embarrassed: "Misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding. I grabbed it in the heat of the moment."

Having said that, he tossed the thing back to Huo Ling'er.

Huo Ling'er's face flushed: "Actually, if you like it, my clothing can be yours."

Xu Chen: "..."

To your sister!

Act normal, will you? I'm robbing you here.

Duan Mu Xin's mouth twitched slightly. Did Huo Ling'er break character so ridiculously?

Wait, could it be that Huo Ling'er has also awakened her memories?

I'll have to ask her later; otherwise, this is too hard to explain.

Xu Chen searched the storage ring again, and only after confirming there were no more of Huo Ling'er's personal items did he nod.

"Don't tell your Dean or any Elders about this, or I'll beat you to tears."

Xu Chen said viciously, in keeping with his villain persona.

It was like a certain scene: "Stay with me tonight, and don't tell your parents!"

Huo Ling'er smiled sweetly: "Okay, I won't. Today, junior brother saved us."

Having said that, she turned her head and looked coldly at the disciples of the Fire Dao Academy: "Isn't that right?"

The disciples of the Fire Dao Academy: "..."

Big sister, are you on his side, or ours?

In the end, they submitted to Huo Ling'er's authority: "Yes, yes, yes, senior sister is right."

Huo Ling'er smiled sweetly again: "Brother Chen, is there anything else you'd like to instruct?"

Xu Chen rubbed his chin: "Work hard later, find more heavenly treasures and earthly gems, and give them all to me once you find them."

What a perfect tool! He would feel guilty toward Huo Ling'er if he didn't use her.

Duan Mu Xin, standing nearby, clicked his tongue. As expected of Chen.

He was scheming in his past life, and he's just as scheming in this one!

Huo Ling'er smiled: "Okay."

Xu Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Go. When the main force gathers, just hand everything over to me."

Having said that, Xu Chen leaped into the air and left the place.

He still had other places to rob; he was very busy.

Huo Ling'er watched Xu Chen's departing direction with reluctance, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness.

Only after Xu Chen had been gone for a long time did she finally withdraw her gaze.

Her violent temper reappeared without doubt at that moment: "All of you, go find spiritual herbs for me. If you don't find any, the Fire Spirit Whip will be your punishment."

"Boom!"

Having said that, flames erupted from Huo Ling'er's body again, revealing her mid-third-grade aura without doubt.

The dozen or so disciples of the Fire Dao Academy were instantly at a loss; their situation was miserable.

Having said that, they all set off to search for spiritual herbs.

Seeing this, Duan Mu Xin slowly stepped out.

The two women immediately saw him, and their eyes began to gleam.

"Duan Mu Xin!"

"Huo Ling'er!"

The moment the two women saw each other, their battle intent surged.

Huo Ling'er said coldly: "Was it you who lured our Elder away just now?"

Duan Mu Xin chuckled: "It was me. Huo Ling'er, I ask you, have you also awakened your memories?"

Huo Ling'er's heart froze. Could it be that she is one too?

Huo Ling'er asked on the spot: "You, have you also reincarnated ninety-nine times?"

Hearing this, Duan Mu Xin was now completely certain of the truth: "Yes. However, regardless of your purpose, you are not allowed to approach Xu Chen."

Huo Ling'er flew into a rage: "You demoness of the Demonic Sect! Did you treat Brother Chen well in your past life? Brother Chen was nearly crippled by you."

Hearing this, a shade of guilt flashed in Duan Mu Xin's eyes: "That was before. Now, I only want to protect him."

Huo Ling'er sneered: "Who would believe that?"

Duanmu Xin sneered in the same way: "As if I'd believe you."

The two women snorted in unison: "Xu Chen is mine."

In the end, Duanmu Xin smiled: "Then let's see who has the skill. The female leads competing with you and me might be more than one."

Huo Ling'er also realized this issue: "Hehe, then let's see who has the means."

He could approach Xu Chen at any time, but Duanmu Xin could not.

She would definitely win.

PS: Please give us data!!!

At this moment, Duanmu Xin shrugged: "But I suggest we join forces."

Huo Ling'er sneered: "How do we join forces?"

Duanmu Xin pouted: "You saw it yourself. Li Ruoling, Chi Lian, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Hong have all arrived."

Huo Ling'er sighed helplessly: "I know. They are all clinging to Xu Chen, and even the Palace Master seems to have an issue."

Duanmu Xin asked curiously: "What did your Palace Master do?"

Huo Ling'er said: "She tried desperately to take Xu Chen as her disciple, but Xu Chen refused."

Duanmu Xin was speechless: "I can understand... after all, Xu Chen is only interested in Li Ruoling."

In ninety-nine lifetimes, Xu Chen had crazily tried to please Li Ruoling.

Unfortunately, each time she ambushed him and stabbed him to death with a sword.

They were all speechless. What kind of trash plot did the original author write? It made them want to vomit.

Huo Ling'er snorted coldly: "That bitch Li Ruoling has taken all the benefits. This time, we must stop her."

Duanmu Xin said with satisfaction: "You are responsible for delivering messages to this Holy Maiden. If you need my help, just tell me."

Having finished speaking, Duanmu Xin tossed a jade pendant to Huo Ling'er.

This jade was condensed from her refined blood; Huo Ling'er only needed to monitor the spiritual energy to communicate with her.

Huo Ling'er nodded lightly: "Mm, fine."

Hearing this, Duanmu Xin curved her red lips into a perfect arc, then her body turned into black smoke and vanished.

She was going to follow Xu Chen.

After all, according to the plot, Xu Chen was about to be brutally beaten by Ye Xuan.

Could she let such a thing happen? Absolutely not.
