Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

On the way back to Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun remained sullen.

Luo Hou was trapped in Zixiao Palace, and Hongyun was truly distressed. Even though they hadn't known each other for long, Hongyun could feel Luo Hou's care for him and his plans for him. For someone like Hongyun who craved love, Luo Hou's unspoken concern was far more valuable than several innate treasures or even chaotic treasures.

Seeing that Hongyun was unusually silent, Zhen Yuanzi wanted to ease the atmosphere.

I asked a casual question: "What's the name of the benevolent corpse you created?"

Hongyun then remembered that Zhen Yuanzi had severed the "self-attached corpse." While others' first attempt was to sever the "good corpse" or the "evil corpse," the "self-attached corpse" was often the hardest to remove, since everyone has their own attachments!

Sigh... Zhen Yuanzi didn't have it. That's quite unique and intriguing.

"My benevolent corpse is called White Cloud, which is what my original body looked like before it was stained red by the blood of Father Pangu. What's the name of your self-grasping corpse? Let me see! You were able to sever your self-grasping corpse so easily, what is your obsession that made it so easy to cut?" Red Cloud's questions came one after another.

Zhen Yuanzi was helpless for a moment, then his expression turned into a doting smile. He said that precisely because he knew Hongyun's temper!

That's why I was able to so easily kill the one who was holding my corpse!

He hadn't reached the point of severing his own corpse yet; it was only by accident that he discovered his inner obsession. Knowing Hongyun's temperament too well—lacking any of the stubbornness of unfulfilled desires—he was able to successfully sever his own corpse. However, while he didn't have many demands regarding his obsession, the corpse was still a condensation of his own obsession. Could he truly allow Hongyun to see the corpse?

"Hmm?" Hongyun asked again when Zhen Yuanzi didn't answer.

After regaining his senses, Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Hongyun and said, "His name is Hongchen."

Zhen Yuanzi answered only one question, omitting the others. But he knew that answering just one question would be enough for Hongyun to continue.

Sure enough, as soon as Hongyun heard the name, she changed the subject: "Red Dust, why is it called Red Dust? It sounds like my corpse."

"He wanted to be called Hongchen himself!" Zhen Yuanzi didn't even glance at Hongyun.

Hongyun continued, "What's your cultivation level, your 'Conqueror of Me' corpse? Let him compare with my 'Good Corpse'!"

"It's quite a coincidence, my name is Hongyun (Red Cloud), my benevolent self is Baiyun (White Cloud), and your clinging self is Hongchen (Red Dust)—all related to colors!"

Zhen Yuanzi paused for a moment and then said, "Yes, it is a coincidence."

Hongyun chuckled twice, completely forgetting her earlier unhappiness.

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes darkened for a moment. How could clouds be tainted by dust? So it could only be a coincidence.

Back at Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun kept pestering Zhenyuanzi to see Zhiwo's corpse, which ruined Zhenyuanzi's good mood, which was originally going to be spent drinking a few cups of enlightenment tea. He went straight back to his room to go into seclusion, saying that he wanted to consolidate his cultivation.

This bored Hongyun so much that she went to look for a double-pinyin.

Shuangpin had already transformed into human form and squeezed into Kong Xuan's room, sleeping on Kong Xuan's footstool. Kong Xuan, meanwhile, was meditating on a futon in the corner.

There was no barrier set up in the room. Hongyun checked the situation inside and then pushed the door open and went in.

"Hoo~" Shuangpin was fast asleep on Kong Xuan's footstool, sprawled out on his back. While not exactly snoring loudly, it was definitely audible. The fact that Kong Xuan could cultivate without being disturbed at all showed that this was a daily occurrence rather than an occasional one.

Kong Xuan opened his eyes: "Greetings, Senior."

Hongyun glanced at Shuangpin, who was still fast asleep, and felt truly sorry for Kong Xuan for bringing such a thing to cause trouble.
