Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey - Chapter 539
Xiao Yan grinned, pleased with the little loli’s reaction.
Though she seemed very cautious, she was quite easy to deal with.
Xiao Yan tried to maintain a friendly smile and asked, “So, Xun’er, what is this malt candy you mentioned?”
“What do you want?” The little girl tensed up, “Xun’er won’t give you her last piece of candy.”
“Ha-ha.” Xiao Yan laughed awkwardly. Did he look like he was here to steal a little girl’s candy?
“I just want to ask so that the kitchen can try to make the same candy.”
Xun’er hesitated for a moment, glanced at the sleeping Kurumi in the room, and whispered to Xiao Yan, “The malt candy is from my sister. Xun’er can give you one, but you must…”
Standing under the sun, Xiao Yan took out the piece of malt candy that Xun’er had given him. Thinking of the little girl’s pained and reluctant expression, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
The malt candy glistened slightly in the sunlight, looking like a crystal.
Xiao Yan smiled, tossing the small piece of malt candy into his mouth.
A mildly sweet flavor spread across his tongue, his saliva dissolving the candy quickly.
It tasted just like the candies from his previous life.
Xiao Yan smacked his lips, “It’s just carbohydrates. Kids really can’t resist sweet things.”
The boy headed towards the clan’s kitchen. He needed to bring breakfast to the two little girls. The elder sister, who seemed the most likely to be a fellow transmigrator, had yet to show herself, leaving Xiao Yan uncertain.
If she was like him, what then? Could there be other transmigrators in this world?
Xiao Yan’s thoughts weighed heavily on him as he quickened his pace.
While Kurumi slept and Xiao Yan speculated, far away in Zhongzhou, a red-haired boy sat idly in a courtyard.
The red-haired boy had a flame mark on his forehead, exuding a palpable heat even from a distance.
This boy, about the same age as Xiao Yan, lay on a wicker chair with his eyes closed, appearing to be resting.
However, his consciousness was immersed in another space.
Browsing through various items in a shop, the boy’s face looked puzzled.
“System, is this reliable?”
“Rest assured, host. You get what you pay for. This system guarantees no counterfeit or substandard products.”
The voice seemed to come from the void, genderless but with a somewhat playful tone.
The boy hesitated even more, “It’s fine if it’s not counterfeit, but can adding favorability with an exotic flame for just 100 origin points be reliable? This seems sketchy to me!”
“This system guarantees no counterfeit or substandard products. You can use it with confidence. The favorability boost with the exotic flame is a one-time item, hence the low price.”
“Bullshit! This is a scam! I’m about to go subdue the Eight Desolation Extinguishing Flame! Do you know what that is? It’s the sixth-ranked tyrannical flame on the Exotic Flame Ranking! Even a small mistake and I’m done for!”
As expected, after the boy’s complaint, the genderless voice paused as if probing, “Then… increase the price?”
Then the boy saw the favorability boost item, originally priced at 100 origin points, suddenly skyrocket to over 10 million origin points!
His facial muscles twitched, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, “System, screw you!”
The interface immediately switched, showing a pure white alpaca with a flamboyant hairstyle doing a tap dance.
The system’s genderless voice chimed in, “The divine beast Alpaca, the second divine beast of the heavens and worlds! Originally priced at 99 million, now only 98.99 million! You can’t get a better deal anywhere else! Originally…”
“Boom!”
The boy couldn’t hold back any longer and punched the interface, shattering it!
“Beep~ Malicious destruction of system space items, 38 origin points deducted.”
“I…”
The boy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
With a kind smile, he asked, “Can you tell me what the number one divine beast of the heavens and worlds is?”
The broken interface is instantly restored, revealing an endless, indescribable projection!
The boy was stunned. The psychological shadow cast by the second divine beast, the Alpaca, was nothing compared to this first divine beast!
His throat moved as he swallowed his saliva. Just watching the projection made him feel like he was being crushed to death by the sheer pressure!
“I can’t believe such a powerful creature exists!”
“The heavens and worlds have everything.”
“So what’s its name?” the boy eagerly asked.
“The number one divine beast of the heavens and worlds, price: ???”
“Name: Harmonious Beast, aka 404.”
“Remarks…”
Rage welled up inside the boy, “System, eat shit! Be serious, this is Battle Through the Heavens, a very dangerous place for me!”
“Dangerous my ass. As long as you don’t go seeking death, you won’t be in any danger.”
“But you can’t just fool me with a 100 origin points item! It’s the Eight Desolation Extinguishing Flame! Be more reliable, please?”
The genderless voice grew impatient, “Didn’t I raise the price to a million for you? Isn’t that reliable enough? Why aren’t you buying now? Cheapskate!”
As the boy, looking constipated, was about to retort, the system spoke again.
“Remember the favorability boost artifact I sold you for 100 origin points? Isn’t little Huo Zhi always around you now?”
“Damn!” The boy almost jumped three feet high, “You still have the nerve to mention that! Huo Zhi is fine, but what about Huo Xuan getting attracted too? I don’t want to get involved with guys!”
“Shut up!” The genderless voice was angry too, “Only sissies like women. Real men should be with men!”
“I… I’m going to kill myself and take you down with me today!”
The genderless voice suddenly became timid, “Don’t, host. Think about your little lolis, your dominating life in another world, and the wonderful life that hasn’t even begun yet!”
“None of that matters! Give me something real!”
The system fell silent, “Think about it, you’re still a virgin. Isn’t it a shame to die now?”
“And think about the peerless beauties in the Battle Through the Heavens world, Xun’er, Little Doctor Fairy, Medusa, Yun Yun…”
The boy fell silent. His previous life was like a dog’s, constantly struggling for mortgage and car payments, only to come home to his wife’s mockery!
What he couldn’t stand the most was his wife cheating on him and acting as if it was natural!
After stabbing the adulterer and his wife, he drank pesticide to commit suicide. He saw a black star before finding himself here.
He even got a system. As a long-time reader of novels, he was thrilled! With the system, power, money, and women were at his fingertips!
His name was Huo Ao, son of the Yan Clan leader, a possessor of the nine-grade bloodline.
