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

"I'll lend you the Earth Book so you can play with it," Zhen Yuanzi said to Hongyun, suddenly becoming generous.

Tongtian was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Zhenyuanzi would actually be willing to take out his companion spirit treasure as a wager for Hongyun. So, it shouldn't be a big deal that he used his own brother's possession.

"I will send a message to my brother to bring the magic treasure." Tongtian did not rush to take the Earth Book, but sent a message first.

"Why don't we invite you two fellow Daoists to Wuzhuang Temple as guests? Soon the Black Jade Plum and Ginseng Fruit will be ripe, and we'll have the perfect opportunity to invite you two to taste them." Zhen Yuanzi's words were impeccable. If Hongyun hadn't been waiting to see Tongtian get beaten up, he wouldn't have thought that Zhen Yuanzi shared the same idea.

Without the hesitation he had just displayed, Tongtian immediately sent out the message.

Zhen Yuanzi glared at Hongyun and gestured for her to come with him alone.

Hongyun guiltily touched his nose and led Tongtian to his room. This guest had been here for over a hundred years and still didn't know which room he was staying in.

"You've got some nerve betting the Earth Book on earth!" With only the two of them left, Zhen Yuanzi finally couldn't suppress his anger any longer.

"It's not like I'm sending it out; I'm just showing it to him." Hongyun's voice was soft, lacking any confidence.

"Besides, you don't know, I wanted Fellow Daoist Tongtian to use my brother's things as a prize, so that I could ease the tension between us. We were just sparring, we didn't become enemies. As for that magic weapon, you can look at it or not, what's the big deal!" Hongyun's story became more and more reasonable, and in the end, she even thought she was a great person.

"You would be so kind?" Zhen Yuanzi was completely unconvinced.

Hongyun might have the intention, but he certainly wouldn't have thought of such a perfect solution. Besides, in this kind of situation, Tongtian is more likely to get a beating!

However, Hongyun and Tongtian get along very well, so it's unlikely that Hongyun would harm Tongtian if he couldn't harm others. Besides, many more small animals have appeared in Wuzhuang Temple.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you trust me at all?" Hongyun, indulging in her dramatic act, looked at Zhen Yuanzi as if she were injured.

Zhen Yuanzi has gradually gotten used to Hongyun's sudden acting urges. Now he can feel helpless and amused inside, but his face remains expressionless, and he will never give Hongyun a chance to continue.

Hongyun sobbed twice, pressing her finger to her eye: "It's over. There's no trust left between us. I treated you like my best friend, and you wouldn't even give me this little bit of trust. All those years of memories are now just a thing of the past."

"Have you forgotten how you invited me to live with you at Wuzhuang Temple, shared the ginseng fruit with me, fought against the ferocious beasts together, and unleashed the power of Jieyin and Zhunti? Have all my feelings over the years been misplaced?"

Zhen Yuanzi gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, and after a long pause, he managed to suppress the urge to swing at Hongyun: "Speak properly!"

Hongyun was just playing around. Judging from Zhen Yuanzi's expression, he knew that he had reached his limit. He immediately put down his hand, shook his sleeves, and acted as if nothing had happened.

"You are not allowed to do such things again. Magic treasures are for cultivators to protect themselves. We are all acquainted with Fellow Daoist Tongtian's brother. What you did was very rude!" Seeing that Hongyun had returned to normal, Zhen Yuanzi also remembered what he wanted to say.

Hongyun nodded, outwardly appearing to accept the instruction. Inwardly, however, she thought: So be it. In this primordial world, strength reigns supreme; survival comes first, then I'll consider manners.
