Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

As they were talking, Ying Hengzhi's figure turned the corner of the corridor and appeared in Ying Yufu's line of sight.

Similarly, Ying Hengzhi also saw Ying Yufu and the little novice monk beside her.

At that moment, a sharp mechanical sound rang in Ying Hengzhi's mind.

The long, drawn-out beeping sound made Ying Hengzhi dizzy and disoriented. She staggered and fell to the side.

Cuiyu quickly helped her up, her eyes filled with confusion.

[Host, it's him, that terrifying boy!]

System 008's voice screamed desperately in Ying Hengzhi's mind.

It wasn't just the system that was frightening; Ying Hengzhi's fear was even stronger than 008's.

"I know, I recognize you, Myna, please be quiet, your head is throbbing with pain."

008 calmed down and seemed to realize that his previous lapse in composure was somewhat embarrassing.

It said: "Host, he is just a child now. He has not grown up yet, which is the perfect time for us to eliminate potential threats."

If we kill him, our future will be safe!

Ying Hengzhi also realized this, [Kill him, I'm going to kill him!]

Her voice changed from extreme fear to extreme excitement.

While she was communicating with System 008, Liao Kong watched them in complete silence.

Those dark, unfathomable eyes were like a still, ancient well—cold, menacing, and cruel.

"Are you alright, benefactor?"

The young monk who was leading the way for Ying Hengzhi looked at her with concern.

Ying Hengzhi slowly calmed herself down. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat that had instantly seeped out of her forehead and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for leading the way, little master."

"Please don't stand on ceremony, this is the place."

Just as the young monk was about to open the door for Ying Hengzhi, he turned his head and saw an empty space.

He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Junior Brother Liaokong, what are you still doing here? Wait, what happened to you?"

The little monk's expression changed.

My gaze couldn't help but drift towards the side room in the southeast corner.

Sure enough, Liao Kong was also bullied by that ill-tempered benefactor.

A hint of guilt flashed in the young monk's eyes. He said, "Liaokong, if there's nothing else here, you should go back."

Feeling guilty, he decided to let Kong go back to rest.

Liao Kong looked up at Ying Yufu and said, "Benefactor, please rest well. I'll head back now."

Ying Yufu patted his shoulder, "Go on, go back and change your clothes quickly."

"Thank you for your concern, benefactor," Liao Kong said solemnly, then turned and left.

He deliberately walked past Ying Hengzhi.

"Ah, don't come any closer!"

Ying Hengzhi suddenly screamed and shrank back in terror.

It was as if emptiness was some terrifying existence.

Liao Kong paused in his steps.

He tilted his head, his dark eyes looking at Ying Hengzhi.

Ying Hengzhi didn't dare to meet Kong's gaze at all; in fact, she didn't even dare to look directly at his face.

She lowered her head and huddled up like a quail.

The little monk and Cuiyu both looked at her with puzzled expressions.

"Master, are you alright?" Cuiyu asked her with concern.

The young monk also said, "Benefactor, please don't be afraid. Junior Brother Liaokong's eyes are indeed different from ordinary people, but he has a very good personality."

Ying Hengzhi felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

This little monk actually said that the devil had a very good personality.

Unbeknownst to her, tears streamed down Ying Hengzhi's face, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

The shadow cast by that terrifying boy in the dream was so strong that just seeing him, even as he was still immature, still filled her with dread.

She simply couldn't control herself.

She could even imagine the boy cutting off pieces of her flesh, one by one, to feed the venomous insects he was raising.

She even felt the boy place the terrifying insect he was raising on her body, letting it slowly gnaw at her flesh.

He kept her alive with the finest medicines every day, and he forced her to eat delicacies to help her recover.

It's all just for the sake of causing even more destruction next time.

He picked her up like a tethered animal and placed her in a dark, completely dark room.

There, she could only smell the blood and medicine emanating from her own body, and felt no passage of time.

The horrific and prolonged torment eventually exhausted her mind and spirit.

She waited until the second prince, who had suffered alongside her, turned against her.

They began to blame each other, and they began to repent.

And these were merely the mildest methods that terrifying boy used to torture them.

Later, he discovered the existence of System 008.

He began to examine her head.

She vaguely remembered that at first he simply shaved her head, and later he pierced her skull with an extremely long silver needle.

It seems that in the end, he simply cut her head open.

What's terrifying is that she didn't die. She was kept alive by the elixir he made, and he placed a bronze mirror in front of her.

She watched helplessly as he rummaged through her head.

He naturally couldn't find System 008, so he sighed regretfully.

He said, "It seems you really have no value anymore."

After saying that, he put the Gu worm he was raising into her head.

Before she lost consciousness, she could feel her head and brain being shattered by the Gu worm.

System 008 did indeed suffer great damage.

Because she did not die, 008 could not escape, and while she was being tortured, 008 had to constantly avoid being devoured by the Gu worm.

Left with no other choice, 008 protected her brainwaves and put them into a deep sleep.

"Sir, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to ask the abbot to take a look at you?"

The abbot is skilled in medicine, and his medical skills are quite advanced.

[Host, calm down. You're behaving too strangely. Have you forgotten how perceptive that boy was?]

Even though he hasn't grown up yet, and you haven't done those things, this will still get his attention.

Didn't you see him staring at you?

"Is he looking at me?" Ying Hengzhi felt like the sky had fallen. "Why is he looking at me?"

[Host, stop talking about him, everyone's watching you.] System 008 reminded you.

Ying Hengzhi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and said to the young monk, "Little Master, I'm fine, no need to trouble the abbot."

Ying Hengzhi deliberately avoided Kong's gaze and looked in Ying Yufu's direction, "Second sister, you've also come to stay at Huangjue Temple for a while?"

"What, Second Sister? It seems Concubine Ying has a very bad memory. Should I remind you?"

Ying Hengzhi felt that as long as she didn't have to face those terrifying eyes, bowing her head to Ying Yufu was no big deal.

"Princess Anguo, congratulations! You are now a princess and will be the Crown Princess in the future. I am so happy for you."

Ying Yufu looked at her in surprise. Could Ying Hengzhi really say such nice things?

Ying Yufu looked at her suspiciously, then walked to Kong's side and said, "Kong, what are you standing there for? Go back and change your clothes."

Liao Kong glanced at her, then obediently left.

Looking at the monster, Ying Hengzhi asked Ying Yufu incredulously, "He listens to you?"

"What, you know him?" Ying Yufu asked, looking at Ying Hengzhi's still-shaken expression.

"No, I don't know him. How could I possibly know a novice monk?" Ying Hengzhi denied repeatedly.

"Second sister, no, Princess Anguo, I'm tired. I'll go inside and rest first."

After giving a brief explanation, Ying Hengzhi went into the side room and closed the door tightly.

Ying Yufu stared at the closed door, a hint of suspicion on her face.

[Little Dian, something's not right. Why is Ying Hengzhi being so well-behaved today? This isn't like her at all.]

Xiao Dian also said, "I also find it strange. I detected that she was terrified to the extreme, and all of this happened after she saw your brother."

Ying Yufu asked, "Xiao Dian, can you find out the reason?"

Xiao Dian said thoughtfully: "Host, to be honest, I don't know the whole story of how this world is going."

It's not that I can't do it, it's that I'm just serving you.

My mission is simply to help you change your fate, so I don't know much about what happens after you die, as I foresee in your dream.

That is, you will see the death of the Crown Prince, the death of the Peerless Female General, the Second Prince and Ying Hengzhi ascend to the highest position, and your enemies all rise to prominence.

After that, I stopped paying attention.

But judging from Ying Hengzhi's behavior just now, I suspect that the course of this world may still change.

Ying Yufu thought of Kong's strange behavior just now and vaguely realized something.

[Host, don't worry, wait for me a moment. I'll go and read through the entire course of this world.]

After Xiao Dian finished speaking, he fell silent.

Liaokong returned to his meditation room. Very few novice monks like him had their own meditation room.

However, Liao Kong was different. He was Xuan Jing's personal disciple, and all the monks in Huangjue Temple knew that Xuan Jing valued Liao Kong highly. He even specially opened a side room next to Liao Kong's meditation room for Liao Kong to live in alone.

After returning home, Liao Kong first obediently changed his clothes, and then took his dirty clothes to the river behind Huangjue Temple to wash them.

Besides the ginkgo forest and osmanthus forest, there is also a waterfall that flows from afar behind Huangjue Temple.

The waterfall cascades down from the sky with tremendous force, resembling an inverted Milky Way when viewed from afar.

The thunderous roar of the water drowned out all other sounds, as if heaven and earth were resonating in one place. Liao Kong stood by the river, staring at the rushing water in front of him, a smile of unparalleled joy on his face.

"Hahaha--"

He spread his arms and plunged into the water, letting the turbulent currents wash over his body. In the water, he let out a hearty laugh.

The river gradually submerged his head, and he seemed to disappear into the water.

Apart from the sound of water, there was nothing else in the mountains. After an unknown amount of time, Liao Kong's body emerged from the water. The smile on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a calm and undisturbed atmosphere.

His calm, serene face and dark, deep eyes contrasted sharply with the surging water.

In this life, they are all alive and well.

Moreover, her sister's fate also underwent a tremendous change from her previous life.

In her previous life, she did not break off her engagement with the Second Prince, nor did Emperor Cangxuan bestow a marriage upon her and the Crown Prince.

Although she did not become a concubine in the Second Prince's residence, her fate in her previous life was even more tragic.

Her mother, brother, sister, and maternal grandparents all died tragically.

But in this life, something seems to have happened that he was unaware of.

My older sister was reborn too.

Liao Kong calmly analyzed the situation, recalling the moments he had spent with Ying Yufu.

She was clearly trying to save herself.

Ying Nanyao and Ying Chengting both suffered some form of retaliation.

The older sister must have been involved in this.

Moreover, his brother no longer seemed to be insane. As far as he knew, in his previous life, his brother had been insane until his death.

But how did she obtain such a treasure as the Thousand Gu Inducing Poison?

This life is destined to be different from the previous one, and their fate will inevitably be different as well.

A glimmer of light flashed in Liao Kong's dark eyes, but then dimmed slightly.

He was absolutely certain that Ying Hengzhi had also been reborn.

When she saw herself, her terrified expression was exactly the same as when she died.

That's really interesting.

She has a system in her head. Although he doesn't know exactly what the system is, he knows that it was because of that that Ying Hengzhi had such a smooth life in her previous life.

In this life, without his knowledge, Ying Hengzhi entered the Second Prince's residence as a concubine. What methods did her sister use to achieve this?

The fact that she can compete with Ying Hengzhi's system means that my sister must have some trump cards up her sleeve.

This explains the origin of the Thousand Gu Inducing Technique.

Liao Kong let the water wash over his body with a blank expression as he pondered, and the answer he came up with made him feel good.

He came ashore and began to wash his dirty clothes, his calm expression gradually turning cold.

Although this life is different from the previous one, he knows very well that he still cannot return to that home.

That family is full of upright and cheerful people, how could they tolerate such a dark monster like him?

He was content as long as they were doing well.

But he wanted to give his enemies some new ways to die.

For example, the Xuanjing (玄镜).

Meanwhile, in Ying Yufu's room, Xiao Dian's exclamation suddenly rang in Ying Yufu's mind.

[Host, would you like to know the complete story of your precognitive dream?]

[Of course I want to know, Little Dian. Could it be that something else happened later? Is it related to my brother?]

Xiao Dian was reluctant to show it to her, but she needed to know, so she showed Ying Yufu everything she had seen in the form of a dream.

In her dream, Ying Yufu saw Kong's experiences from childhood to adulthood.

She saw him being taken away from his mother by Granny Shen after birth and brought to Liu Xueyan.

Liu Xueyan was frightened by his eyes, which were born without any whites, so she ordered the nanny beside her to throw him away, the farther the better.

It's best to kill it before throwing it away.

But later, the old woman was robbed. Her gold and silver were stolen, and her newborn brother was left lying there unattended.

The Mystic Mirror appeared and took it back.

He certainly didn't take the child out of kindness; he was raising a treacherous snake.

In order to raise various rare Gu worms, he made that little baby his Gu child from a young age.

My younger brother's life was unexpectedly resilient; despite the torment he endured from childhood, he survived and grew up.

At the age of fifteen, he cruelly murdered Xuanjing and, as the Grand Preceptor of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, joined forces with the Eastern and Western Lin Kingdoms to bring down Cang Mingze and Ying Hengzhi from their supreme positions.

Ying, Cheng, Duan, Liu, and all their enemies were executed by slow slicing, and even the newborn baby was not spared.

Some of the larger fish were even cruelly tortured and killed.

Cang Mingxu and Ying Hengzhi were unable to live or die, and regretted being born into this world every day, wishing for death and repenting every day.

The young imperial advisor, shrouded in black robes, had eyes as black as a microcosm of hell, exuding a heavy chill and malevolent aura. His methods were astonishing even to gods and ghosts.

He actually discovered that Ying Hengzhi had a system.

He tried to extract the system from Ying Hengzhi's brain; he was so intelligent, yet so insane.

Although it ultimately failed, Ying Hengzhi's system did indeed fall into a dormant state.

Ying Yufu woke up from her dream, two lines of clear tears falling from her eyes.

[Host, your younger brother is indeed terrifying, but also very pitiful.]
