108: The protagonist kneels and licks, the king of licking licks through the intestines

"Brother! Brother! Don't kill me! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

Ling Tian was led away by Jun Lingxiao. The moment he realized he could move, his first instinct wasn't to run, but to immediately kneel and hug Jun Lingxiao's thigh again.

He was truly terrified.

On the surface, it was a misunderstanding. He wanted to use the excuse of a 'misunderstanding' to get acquainted with Jun Lingxiao. Everything was going well. Ling Tian had even established himself as a profound and mysterious expert, concluding with a perfect dramatic kneel. It was absolutely flawless.

But he never would have expected Jun Lingxiao to actually perceive his identity. It was outrageous!

How did he know?

Could it be that Jun Lingxiao really had a System?

Ever since Jun Lingxiao took out that small card and crushed it, Ling Tian had suspected that Jun Lingxiao might have a System, but he hadn't been certain.

This was his last life. He hadn't fully seen this world yet, and he also wanted to return to his home in the city after cultivating. He truly didn't want to die.

"Kill you?"

"Ling Tian, I haven't even asked anything yet."

Kicking away Ling Tian, who clung to him like a dog's plaster, Jun Lingxiao found a place to sit down, watching this protagonist with interest.

To be honest, although he hadn't seen many protagonists—only Han Feng before—Han Feng was a standard male lead from a 'cool' novel: upright, kind, prioritizing family, and spreading love everywhere.

But the Ling Tian before him was truly a bit different.

How to put it... a certain sycophantic aura.

If someone said he wasn't the protagonist, but rather the sycophantic attendant who fanned the flames beside a villainous young master who bullied men and women, he would believe it.

However, even as he thought this, Jun Lingxiao didn't relax at all.

The way Ling Tian killed the Bone-Armored Tiger earlier—his various postures were utterly amateurish, yet he bizarrely managed to precisely dodge the opponent's attacks, as if he had practiced countless times.

If he had merely suspected before, he could now confirm that the Ling Tian before him was definitely a Reincarnator.

This Golden Finger was undeniably powerful; he still needed to handle it carefully.

But... in these countless Reincarnations, it seemed this Reincarnator hadn't been living a very pleasant life?

Jun Lingxiao looked at Ling Tian, who was kowtowing incessantly, then at the System's prompt, and even he was a bit surprised.

It could even be like this?

"Ding! The protagonist [Ling Tian] has submitted."

"Settling..."

"This settlement may take a long time. Please wait patiently, Host."

Ling Tian's sudden fawning had even made the System freeze. It was simply outrageous.

"Then, Brother! Big Brother! Ask away, I'll tell you everything I know, without holding anything back, without..."

"Enough." Jun Lingxiao interrupted Ling Tian's chanting, then ran his hand along the iron sword at his waist, looking down at him with his legs crossed.

"Tell me about your identity. If there's any falsehood, you should know the consequences."

Jun Lingxiao lowered his gaze, looking down at him, his finger constantly rubbing the iron sword, as if Ling Tian would be instantly beheaded if he dared to utter a single lie.

Of course, this wasn't 'as if' anymore; Ling Tian had already died by this sword far too many times.

After such a long time, Ling Tian had finally figured it out! This Jun Lingxiao had no particular style in how he did things; he was simply a pleasure-seeker! He acted on a whim. Even his enemies, as long as they amused him, could still live. But if he got bored, then death on the spot was certainly their fate.

Thinking this, Ling Tian hastily spoke:

"Big Brother! I'll tell you! Actually, I'm a Transmigrator. I transmigrated to this Xuanhuan world with ten thousand resurrection coins, becoming an unfavored young master of the Ling Family in the Upper Thousand Provinces."

Ling Tian recounted his background in great detail, without any concealment.

When the System was present before, he was under a Restriction not to reveal that he was a Transmigrator, but now that the System was gone, there was no such limitation. In one breath, Ling Tian spilled everything he knew.

For no other reason than to gain more leverage with Jun Lingxiao.

Please, Brother, no more killing. I'm truly scared.

Ling Tian could be said to have cut a long story short. After listening for a while, Jun Lingxiao understood everything and uttered these three words faintly.

"Interesting."

"So, what you mean is that under the System's mission, you wanted to seize something from me that would benefit your System, but due to my strength, you died again and again, resurrecting repeatedly. Therefore, after witnessing my strength, you want to pledge allegiance to me?"

Jun Lingxiao also summarized everything succinctly, leaving Ling Tian dumbfounded. So, I said all that, and you summarized it in two sentences?

He truly just wanted to say one thing now... "As expected of Big Brother, your summary is simply brilliant!"

Don't ask; if you ask, fawning is the only way to survive. Ling Tian was now an Incarnation of the King of Fawning, fawning until his guts burst. He would fawn however he could.

"Something beneficial to his System, could it be the System on me?" Jun Lingxiao harbored doubts about this, but when he heard that Ling Tian had already undergone tens of thousands of Reincarnations in this Secret Realm, his eyes lit up slightly.

"How much do you know about this Secret Realm?"

A perfect treasure-seeking mouse was right before him; Jun Lingxiao couldn't possibly not utilize it.

"Replying to Big Brother, I know this Secret Realm like the back of my hand! Even the True Dragon you seek, or the various supreme treasures within, and even news about your father, I know quite a lot!"

Ling Tian knelt on the ground, back straight, speaking with absolute certainty. If he weren't kneeling, it would have been a passionate and stirring speech.

He was very clear that his only use to Jun Lingxiao right now was this information, so he definitely had to seize the opportunity.

Although it was a bit counterproductive, the current outcome seemed... not different from what he had expected?

Anyway, as long as he clung to Jun Lingxiao's thigh, he would have no worries in the future. Although he had considered hiding for the rest of his life, in this Xuanhuan world where the strong preyed on the weak, where could he hide?

"Father..."

Jun Lingxiao subtly furrowed his brow. He had largely guessed what Ling Tian said before, but the fact that he also knew news about his convenient father surprised him.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Thinking this, Jun Lingxiao had already decided how to deal with Ling Tian.

"Since that's the case, taking you in is not impossible."

"Open your Sea of Souls."

Ling Tian was overjoyed by the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, he suddenly froze. This meant directly putting his life into Jun Lingxiao's hands?!

However, he had no choice at the moment. If he complied now, would Jun Lingxiao not kill him?

Ling Tian thought this, then directly opened his Sea of Souls, allowing Jun Lingxiao to leave a brand.

Now, Jun Lingxiao only needed a thought to kill Ling Tian. It couldn't be easier.

Protagonists surely rely on things like friendship and justice to gather subordinates. But he was a villain; he didn't have that much time and energy. If he could directly brand them and control their lifelines, why do so many unnecessary things?

For now, Ling Tian was still useful. Sparing his life was not impossible, of course, it also depended on Ling Tian's performance.

Having him lead the way was real, but whether to kill him was another matter.

With matters concluded, Jun Lingxiao brought Ling Tian back to the base of the tall tower.

Jun Hongxuan looked at Ling Tian, who had the demeanor of a fawning dog, and was momentarily stunned.

"Brother, this...?"

"Little brother."

Jun Lingxiao nodded faintly, without much explanation, merely glancing around. More and more people were gathering.

"Second Brother!" Ling Tian was still clever, immediately starting to call everyone 'Brother.' Seeing his demeanor, Jun Hongxuan directly didn't dare to respond.

He was truly afraid that Ling Tian would suddenly do a dramatic kneel at his feet. It would be too embarrassing.

And just as Jun Lingxiao had returned, still waiting for the Jun Family members, the enormous towering high tower suddenly lit up, with strange flowing light shimmering on its door.

Along with it, a roar came from within the tower.
