Chapter 416 This is not what she wanted

Sheng Jiu silently gave it a thumbs up.

Then, in his mind, he secretly criticized his own system.

The system quietly reduced its presence.

The system left a message: "You'll be pampered and live a good life soon," and then disappeared.

The days that followed were indeed as the system had predicted.

Nangong Zishu has not suffered much hardship.

If we ignore the fact that she was secretly tied up by her heartless father because she was born into a family that favored sons over daughters, and was taken to the market to be sold for a good price, almost becoming someone's pet food, then it can barely be considered spoiled.

She was rescued by the immortal sage of Jianfeng in Nanqing Palace at the market.

The other party said that she had good spiritual roots and was suitable for cultivating immortality, and asked if she would be willing to follow him to seek the path to immortality.

Nangong Zishu refused!
Although she almost became food for a tiger, it was all part of her plan.

She had already planned her escape route and how to survive afterwards.

In the end, all of this was destroyed by the high and mighty immortal.

The other party asked her if she was willing, and when she shook her head in denial, they ignored her and took her away.

Not a single step along this journey was something Nangong Zishu wanted.

She shook her head, and they all took it as a pretense of denial, an attempt to gain their attention.

Nangong Zishu didn't want to go to Nanqing Palace with the so-called Immortal Venerable, but he ignored her and took her back.

With no other choice, she had to find a new way to make a living.

She preferred drawing talismans or refining elixirs to sword forging.

But, it didn't work.

They seemed to respect her, but in reality, they were all making decisions for her on their own initiative.

At first, Nangong Zishu did not know the reason.

Until his spiritual bones were dissected while he was still alive, and his dantian was dug out.

Nangong Zishu then understood.

It turns out that the high and mighty immortal lord didn't fancy her, but rather her spiritual bones.

Her spiritual bones, or her special constitution, are capable of resurrection. Three hundred years ago, in order to save the sect, she fell into a complete coma, and with only one soul remaining out of her three souls and seven spirits.

Spiritual bones can restore the other person's physical body to its original state.

Her body could break the curse that bound her senior sister, freeing her from all this and allowing her to return to the human world, to become the cheerful, loving, and righteous senior sister she once was.

But what about her?

Doesn't she have only one life?
Did she have a choice?
And the system forcibly abducted her, claiming it was a sweet romance novel?

But where is the pampering?

Even after jumping into the Arctic Abyss, Nangong Zishu still didn't know where the pampering came from.
However, when she took that desperate gamble and jumped into the abyss of the polar region, all those supposedly binding scenarios finally came back to her mind.

So what they called being pampered was that the eldest brother would give her the spiritual food he didn't like, the second brother would give her the sword he didn't like, and the third sister would give her the leftover fabric from her finished clothes...

Of course, this is just the beginning of the pampering.

They all have a purpose.

True favor, it is said, comes after her death.

After her spirit bones were dissected and her dantian was emptied, she jumped into the polar abyss.

The sect members finally resurrected their senior sister, but soon after, they realized something was missing, began to regret it, and tried to resurrect her again.

Nangong Zishu thought they were about to fall ill!
They can kill whomever they want, and resurrect whomever they want.

Who do they think they are?

Of course, as the so-called beloved female protagonist of a novel, Nangong Zishu would not die in the Abyss of the Arctic. There, she encountered the true chosen one, the demon king Shang Wuji, who was suppressed at the bottom of the abyss by the righteous sects with an array.

Then, relying on Shang Wuji's demonic dragon bloodline, she repaired her spiritual bones and dantian, while he used her blood to break through the formation that had trapped her for hundreds of years.

The two redeemed each other and eventually returned to the world, making those who had wronged her even more regretful.

As she finished speaking, Nangong Zishu choked up again: "They are really sick, they are all sick!" They seemed to dote on her, but they never respected her.

What they gave her was neither what she wanted nor what they wanted.

Nangong Zishu's desires have always been simple.

Where we come from, and where we return to.

She wants to go home.

Yes, her house wasn't big enough; its area was even smaller than the vegetable garden in the courtyard of the Nanqing Palace.

But that was her home.

A family where parents and older sisters love you!
She wanted to go home, she wanted to study, instead of staying in the so-called world of cultivation, being pampered by this person and that person.

She doesn't need any of that!
However, they insisted on imposing all of this on her and then called her the group's darling.

Isn't that ridiculous?
Sheng Jiu, who was listening nearby, felt a little sad.

She even silently reflected on whether everything the system had given her was what she wanted.

After thinking it over, Sheng Jiu realized that saving her aunt was the only thing she wanted.

However, sometimes you have to pay a price for what you want.

This is the most basic law of survival, Sheng Jiu understands.

Therefore, she did not hold a grudge.

Moreover, the system's initial binding was done with her consent.

Unlike Nangong Zishu, who was simply kidnapped without any regard for her safety and then abandoned.

This system, or rather this world, is really sick!

Sheng Jiu couldn't bear to listen and quietly asked the system, "Can she... still go home?"

She has been in the cultivation world for over three hundred years. The time flow in her realm is the same as the modern world she came from.

So, she can go home.

However, her family members had long since passed away.

Let alone family members, their descendants may have already passed away several generations ago.

Sheng Jiu felt even more heartbroken after hearing this.

Not wanting Sheng Jiu to be sad, the system quickly added.

【I can use a special channel to let her go back for a visit, but in that world, she no longer has a valid identity; she's an unregistered resident. If she wants to stay, she needs to think it through carefully.】

After hearing this, Sheng Jiu thought for a while before asking in a low voice, "Can't you give her an identity?"

"...It's not impossible."

It might be a bit troublesome, but it's still doable.

Knowing that it was feasible, Sheng Jiu felt much more at ease.

However, Nangong Zishu needs to know all of this so that she can make her own choice.

She resented that others didn't give her a choice.

Therefore, Sheng Jiu will not force her to make a decision.

I asked the system, hoping to have another option.

Nangong Zishu talked for a long time, and was probably tired. She closed her eyes, but her eyelids kept moving and she didn't really fall asleep.

Seeing her like this, Sheng Jiu hesitated for a long time before asking softly, "Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Fearing that Nangong Zishu might not understand, Sheng Jiu further reminded her, "You have been in the cultivation world for over three hundred years. The flow rate of your world is the same as the modern world you came from, so..."

My parents and sister are long gone.

Even so, will she still go back?
After hearing this, Nangong Zishu finally couldn't hold back her tears, which silently streamed down her face.

She remained silent for a while. Sheng Jiu thought she didn't want to talk and was about to say a few words of comfort when she left her alone to calm down.

But just as he turned around, he heard Nangong Zishu's hoarse voice: "Can I go back and take a look?"
