The system, as if being rescued, cheered with a jubilant voice.
Lin Yibai shouted desperately and hysterically, tugging at her already sparse hair with both hands.
"Shen Qing, you said you wouldn't take shortcuts. What do you call it when you take my system now?!"
Shen Qing tilted her head and smiled. "What do I call it?
"You're just unlucky."
The system's obsequious voice rang out. "Exactly. Whoever is with you is the most unlucky one. Now that I have a new host, you're useless. It's a pity that you still owe me points. No, I'll take some interest first!"
"No no no! I have nothing left to give you!"
Lin Yibai shouted into the void, her voice pleading. She waved her hands wildly, looking like a madwoman.
The next moment, Lin Yibai's hands and feet were strangely broken, as if she had been subjected to cruel torture.
"Aaaah... It hurts so much!"
Shen Qing frowned. Watching Lin Yibai cry and plead non - stop, she felt a bit uncomfortable.
When she had extracted the spiritual bone just now, she had deliberately tortured Lin Yibai as revenge for her past life. But now the system's actions really made her feel very uncomfortable.
She understood that the system was trying to show its loyalty to her, but torturing its former host like this, this system was really a detestable thing.
"Enough!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Qing quickly shouted to stop. Only then did Lin Yibai's constantly broken hands and feet stop.
Now Lin Yibai could only lie limp on the ground, with only a weak breath and a pair of wide - open, resentful eyes.
"New host, how about it? Do you feel relieved?
"If you're still not relieved, I can help you get back some more interest!"
Shen Qing's voice was a bit impatient. "Enough. How can I bind to you as you just said?"
The system immediately explained. "As long as you send a stream of spiritual energy towards Lin Yibai, I can absorb your spiritual power and show my true form. Then you open your spiritual sea and slowly accept me, letting me integrate into your body."
"Is it that simple?"
The system quickly said. "Yes, it's that simple!"
Shen Qing sneered. "Fine, as you wish."
She gathered her spiritual power and sent it towards Lin Yibai.
That spiritual power slowly merged into Lin Yibai's body. After a moment, a twinkling light dot was slowly extracted from Lin Yibai's body.
"System, is this your true form?"
The system jumped and said. "Yes, host. I'm still very weak after leaving Lin Yibai's body. You mustn't use spiritual power when accepting me, or I'll shatter..."
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Oh?
"Okay then!"
When the system approached without any awareness, Shen Qing suddenly reached out and grabbed the system.
The system let out a shrill scream, seemingly sensing Shen Qing's unusual move.
"Host, what are you going to do?!"
"What am I going to do?
"I'm going to crush you!"
Shen Qing said no more. She squeezed hard with both hands. Amid the system's sharp and ear - piercing screams, she directly crushed the system.
After opening her hands, Shen Qing looked at the remaining fragments in her palm, which were like black iron. She pinched them disdainfully until those things turned into powder, and then used a cleaning spell to clean her hands.
"Is this the system? So vulnerable?"
Shen Qing murmured to herself. Then she heard Lin Yibai's sinister laughter.
"Hahaha, stupid thing. Thinking you could find a new host after leaving me. How naive. You're still dead!"
Shen Qing walked closer. Looking at Lin Yibai's miserable appearance, which was no longer human - like, a trace of pity flashed through her heart.
After all, she was a person from another world who had been bewitched by the system. She couldn't see her own heart clearly and couldn't firm her Taoist heart, so she took the wrong path.
"Does it hurt?"
Lin Yibai's eyes were blurred with a mixture of blood and tears. When she looked at Shen Qing, she could only see a vague figure.
"It hurts..."
"I hurt so much..."
Lin Yibai was regretting, but she didn't know what she was regretting.
Maybe she regretted listening to the system's bewitchment and coming to this other world.
Maybe she regretted that she should have been more ruthless back then. Instead of following the system's words and taking things slowly, she should have directly killed Shen Qing.
Or maybe she should have agreed earlier to go to the Demon Clan with Ji Chongming and be his wife. She thought that she wouldn't end up like this...
In Lin Yibai's remorse, she slowly lost her breath.
After Lin Yibai lost her breath, the stagnant time around slowly started to move again.
Shen Qing was in a daze for a moment. She found herself back at the place where she had been standing just now.
Her clothes were intact, without any bloodstains or wounds.
Lin Yibai's hands and feet were still fixed in mid - air, not broken into strange shapes.
Elder Feiyun had crushed Lin Yibai's golden core, and Lin Yibai had no breath at this moment.
True Lord Honghua sighed. "The evil disciple is gone. Press her body under the deserted tombs in the back mountain. I hope the disciples can take this as a warning."
He waved his hand, signaling the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall to leave.
Then, an unusual aura came. He looked up in surprise and found that Shen Qing had unknowingly been promoted to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The other elders were also confused and looked at Shen Qing in puzzlement.
How could someone be promoted by one small realm just by watching an execution??
How badly had Lin Yibai bullied Shen Qing on Worry - Free Peak back then!!
Thinking like this, the looks in everyone's eyes towards Shen Qing changed from shock to pity.
This poor girl must have gone through a lot of bad things back then. That's why she had an epiphany and was promoted after avenging her great hatred.
Especially True Lord Honghua, who looked at Shen Qing overjoyed.
With such talent, and she was a disciple of their Qingyun Sword Sect!
If it weren't for that evil disciple Lin Yibai, their Qingyun Sword Sect might have become the number one sect in the cultivation world with Shen Qing's help!
Thinking of this, True Lord Honghua slapped his leg in remorse.
It was all because of Heng Ling's poor judgment. He almost ruined such a good talent.
There was also that evil disciple Lin Yibai from Worry - Free Peak. With this stain, their Qingyun Sword Sect would probably never be able to hold their heads up in front of other major sects in the future.
Shen Qing felt the different looks from everyone and twitched the corner of her mouth.
If it weren't for the spiritual bone extracted from Lin Yibai in her storage bag and her own cultivation promotion, she would almost have thought that everything that had just happened was just a dream.
Shen Qing awkwardly touched her nose, not knowing what to say.
In other people's eyes, she might be a strange person now.
Getting promoted by one small realm just by watching someone being executed. What a twisted mind.
Shen Qing silently shed tears in her heart. What on earth had just happened? She didn't want to be regarded as a freak!!
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall threw Lin Yibai's body to the back mountain and buried it under the deserted tombs. They also set up a barrier to prevent anyone from destroying it.
Everything seemed to calm down again.
But not long after, a strange wind came from the deserted tombs.
The wind circled around the barrier on Lin Yibai's grave a few times, and then quietly got in.
The barrier shook twice but showed no other changes.
