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

Chapter 8, Living Next Door

Zhen Yuanzi was stunned. There were no other living beings on Wanshou Mountain, and he had only recently taken human form and had never spoken to anyone. He was surprised that someone could use such a skillful way of expressing their thoughts, and... without stopping.

Is this a cultivation method?

"My name is Zhen Yuanzi, and I was born from a fruit tree."

Hongyun smiled broadly, then approached Zhen Yuanzi familiarly and asked, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you bloom?"

Zhen Yuanzi's face darkened instantly. Did he not want to bloom?

"Fellow Daoist, this outfit doesn't suit you. It's too dull, like dirt. Why not change the color? Look at the flowers on that tree, they're blooming so beautifully. Why don't you add some flowers to your clothes? You'll definitely look even more handsome." Hongyun wasn't discouraged and continued to use his magic to get closer to the two of them.

Zhen Yuanzi held back for a while, but in the end, he was too embarrassed to curse. He had only recently taken human form and was not yet familiar with the process of cursing. He simply thought that since they were both innate beings and had both taken human form on this mountain, it was fate that brought them together, and he didn't want to make things too awkward.

"Ding~ Thirty Rage Points have been credited to your account!"

Hongyun, who was usually not good at reading people's expressions, could now sense Zhen Yuanzi's displeasure. Especially after the system notification sounded, a question suddenly arose in her mind: what words had offended Zhen Yuanzi?

These are just ordinary topics of conversation among friends in later generations, so why are you angry?

After a while, Hongyun asked hesitantly, "How about... I open one?"

"Good," Zhen Yuanzi replied, looking at Hongyun as she opened the flower.

That's really saving words for a pittance!

Hongyun pursed her lips and cast a spell, creating lifelike patterns of small flowers from a ginseng fruit tree on her fiery red robe.

Zhen Yuanzi's expression softened a little. It turned out that Hongyun wasn't making fun of him, but genuinely had that thought.

These pale yellow flowers blooming on the fiery red dress actually looked better than before, just as Hongyun had said.

Even so, he would never allow flowers to bloom on his clothes.

Hongyun conjured a magic mirror and looked at her clothes. Although they were somewhat feminine, they did give her a more energetic look, so it wasn't unacceptable.

The magic mirror was put away, and Zhen Yuanzi asked, "Fellow Daoist, where do you plan to cultivate?"

Zhen Yuanzi has his eye on this mountain; he intends to guard another ginseng fruit tree, waiting for his brother, of the same origin, to take human form. But Hongyun has also taken human form here, ahead of him. If Hongyun also intends to cultivate here, I wonder if it's possible to divide the roles?

Hongyun glanced at the spiritually vibrant Longevity Mountain and Zhen Yuanzi, who was "concerned" about her, and thought, "That must be right here!"

"I see that this mountain is full of spiritual energy, with beautiful scenery, making it an ideal place for cultivation!" Hongyun looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

Zhen Yuanzi: "I also wish to establish my abode on this mountain to cultivate, and to be accompanied by all living beings of the same origin. I wonder where you will choose for your immortal abode, so that I may avoid the place you prefer."

"Fellow Daoist, your coming and going is too formal. We have taken human form in the same place, which is fate. Brother Zhen Yuanzi, why don't you call me by my name? In the future, we can live next to each other on Longevity Mountain and visit each other often so that we can help each other." Hongyun really disliked the pretentious way of speaking in the prehistoric world, and he had to think carefully before speaking each time.

Otherwise, if you start talking like "What are you doing?" or "What's wrong?", it's too rude and people will look down on you.

Zhen Yuanzi was a good-tempered person, and after hearing Hongyun's words, he felt that there was some truth to them. He looked at Hongyun for a while and said, "Hongyun... Fellow Daoist."
