128: Chapter 128 Host, do you want a wife or not?

"No, no."

"I can't do this sort of thing."

Li Qing shuddered involuntarily.

【Ding, detected that the Host requires service.】

【Ding, the System can provide one great dao demon-extermination pill for free to relieve the Host's troubles.】

Li Qing "..."

What is this damn System running out for at a time like this?

Could it be trying to set me up?

What is the most expensive thing in the world? Free stuff.

"Would you be that kind?"

Li Qing looked skeptical.

【Ding, Host, the System is starting to feel useless.】

【You didn't use the System for either of your two Breakthroughs.】

【The System is afraid the Host doesn't want me anymore.】

"Really?"

Li Qing still looked skeptical.

There's no helping it, I've been scammed too many times.

I've developed a stress response.

【Ding, whether you want it or not is up to you, Host.】

【Ding, if you don't want it, forget it.】

Li Qing "..."

Playing hard to get?

However, taking a Medicinal Pill to remove a Heart Demon doesn't seem to have any traps.

Li Qing thought for a long time.

But couldn't think of where the trap might be.

"Give it to me."

Luo Qingcheng's Heart Demon must be resolved.

Otherwise, her constantly wanting to cultivate with him isn't a sustainable situation.

Most importantly, it's free.

【Ding, the System has issued one great dao demon-extermination pill.】

Heh heh, this Host is getting harder and harder to trick.

"Swish."

Li Qing flew with Luo Qingcheng into a nearby cave.

"Eat this."

Li Qing flipped his hand, and a golden Medicinal Pill appeared in his palm, which he handed to Luo Qingcheng.

The other party very obediently swallowed the Medicinal Pill.

【Tsk tsk, so obedient.】

【No wonder Gu Beichen succeeded so easily.】

"Hum."

A brilliant divine light suddenly erupted from between Luo Qingcheng's brows, and she slowly sat down cross-legged.

It only took a moment.

Luo Qingcheng's face suddenly twisted, appearing extremely painful, and black Qi even surfaced on her face—this was a sign of falling into demonic possession.

A purple vortex appeared above Luo Qingcheng's head.

Before Li Qing could react, it sucked him straight in.

The next moment, Li Qing appeared in a massive city, where cries of battle were everywhere, and corpses littered the ground.

Before him was a street filled with corpses, and in the distance, the characters for "Luo Mansion" came into view.

Li Qing "..."

【Damn, as expected, you can guard against everything but your own kin; I was still scammed by the System.】

【This is the plot of the disaster at Luo Xian City.】

【Damn it, the origin of Luo Qingcheng's Heart Demon.】

"System."

"Get out here."

However, the System remained silent from beginning to end.

"Fine, fine, playing dead, huh."

"You just wait for This Young Master."

Li Qing was furious.

What the hell does this damn thing want to do?

"Forget it, forget it. Since I'm already in Luo Qingcheng's Heart Demon, I'll help her remove the Heart Demon first."

"I remember that Gu Beichen used the Dual Cultivation Dream-Entry Method; I reckon this has a similar effect."

Li Qing waved his sleeve, and with a swirl of spiritual light around his body, he appeared at the corner of the street.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded nearby: "Tsk tsk, your family is all dead, what are you living for?"

"Oh my, so you were under the corpses."

"Ah."

A scream of terror rang out on the street.

"Swish."

Li Qing turned his gaze and saw a middle-aged man in purple robes dragging a young girl out from under a corpse.

Fresh blood had dyed her clothes red.

"Who's there?"

The purple-robed middle-aged man seemed to sense something, threw down the young girl in his hand, and turned to stare fixedly at Li Qing.

【Purple robes.】

【Middle-aged man.】

【Luo Xian City.】

"You are the Blood Sea Corpse Butcher, Ming Huadao."

A cold light flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

【So it was this damn thing that slaughtered everyone in the Luo Mansion.】

"You know me?"

Ming Huadao's expression was one of shock.

"Die."

Li Qing couldn't be bothered with small talk and waved his sleeve, shooting out a ray of multicolored light.

"You want to kill me?"

"You're not worthy."

A fierce light flashed in Ming Huadao's eyes as a blood-colored long blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed at the multicolored light.

"Bang."

The blade broke, and the man was split in two.

Li Qing moved his mind and took the emperor weapon fragment back into his body.

He waved his sleeve again and burned all the nearby corpses to ashes.

Li Qing then fixed his gaze on the young girl, who was looking at him with fearful eyes.

Judging by her facial contours, she looked very similar to Luo Qingcheng.

This is Luo Qingcheng as a child.

【What do I do next?】

【How do I remove this Heart Demon?】

【Just take her away?】

【She won't think I'm a bad guy, will she?】

【I'm here to save her, after all.】

【What a headache.】

Luo Qingcheng, who had been terrified, was stunned.

She heard Li Qing's inner voice.

【I don't know how to coax a child.】

【How about I try coaxing her?】

【But I have to be careful, I must not make her cry.】

"Big Brother, can... can I cultivate with you?"

Luo Qingcheng asked weakly.

This made Li Qing pause.

【She spoke.】

【She doesn't seem afraid of me anymore.】

【That's great.】

"Of course you can."

"Whatever you want to learn, I will teach."

Li Qing grinned.

"I want to learn the sword."

Luo Qingcheng said weakly.

"Good."

Li Qing stepped forward, arrived in front of Luo Qingcheng, and tapped her between the brows with one finger.

"I will impart to you the Divine-Grade Sword Control Technique."

"And give you a wisp of the Di Shi Sword Dao Origin."

At this moment, Li Qing was glowing in Luo Qingcheng's eyes; the light grew brighter and brighter, eventually becoming as brilliant as the sun.

"Boom."

The world Li Qing was in collapsed, and he was directly repelled by a force, appearing back in the cave.

"Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom."

Luo Qingcheng instantly broke through four realms in succession, her cultivation reaching the Fifth Heaven of the Immortal Platform - Dao Attainment Realm.

【Damn, that's intense.】

【Are all female protagonists this unreasonable?】

【She can even break through four realms in a row at the Immortal Platform.】

【I have a System and still can't outdo the female protagonist.】

【The System is truly trash.】

【Ding, Host, doesn't your conscience hurt when you badmouth the System like this?】

"Heh, stopped playing dead, huh."

"Speak, did you trick me again?"

【Ding, Host, do you want a wife?】

Li Qing "..."

"What does that mean?"

Just then, Luo Qingcheng suddenly opened her eyes, and Li Qing only felt a fragrant breeze sweep over him as a warm beauty threw herself into his arms.

"Big Brother, Luo Qingcheng has finally found you."

Li Qing "..."

"System, what did you do?"

【Ding, nothing much, it's just that during the time the great dao demon-extermination pill was taking effect, the Host's actions all became new memories for this female protagonist.】

【Ding, the imparted sword techniques and Sword Intent have all become real.】

【Ding, she has known you for sixteen years.】

Li Qing "..."

"System, you damn thing, you scammed me again."

Li Qing was furious.

I guarded against everything, only to capsize in the gutter.

If I ever accept your free items again, I'm a dog.

【Ding, Host, how can you slander the System's innocence out of thin air?】

【Ding, free is the most expensive, it's not like the Host doesn't know that.】

Li Qing "..."

"Fine, you're really something."

"System, you can uninstall."

"Let's never see each other again in this lifetime."

Li Qing gritted his teeth.

【Ding, don't be like that, Host.】

【Ding, isn't it fragrant? Smell it, Host.】

Li Qing "..."
