-------------
Yunxi City will be bustling until the tenth day of the first lunar month. After the tenth day, it will be quiet for a few days, and then it will reach a new peak on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Yang Pingsheng got up very early, changed into his favorite clothes, made an excuse for Li Chumo, told her to take good care of the house, and then went into the city.
"It seems like I've never truly savored the food of the Seventh World."
On the bustling street, Yang Pingsheng spoke to the system.
The system was a hedgehog today, perched on Yang Pingsheng's shoulder, and said lazily, "After all, immortals don't need to eat."
Grains and cereals, having absorbed the impure energy of the earth, are no longer of much help to immortals. Unless it is to satisfy their appetite, immortals generally do not eat.
In this life, Yang Pingsheng's physical attributes had already been modified by the system. Moreover, since arriving here, he had been preoccupied with the mission and had given all the good food to Li Chumo, so he himself had not enjoyed any delicacies.
"System, can you tell me again why you selected me?"
The soft words jolted the system awake. It instinctively tried to get up, only to realize that it was on Yang Pingsheng's shoulder and might slip off if it wasn't careful. So it forced itself to relax.
It turned its head to look at Yang Pingsheng's profile, who still looked calm, as if it were just a casual question.
Why are you suddenly bringing up things from the past?
"So much time has passed that I can't remember things clearly anymore. I want to recall them."
Seven worlds, that's indeed a long time.
Although the times were not the same, though they were scattered, I've still lived half my life.
The system then realized, in a daze, that it had spent so much time with Yang Pingsheng.
"You got hit by a truck and died while saving a little girl," the system said irritably. "I happened to be there at the time, so I immediately linked to you. Remember?"
what.
I remembered.
Those are indeed memories from a very long time ago.
"Hmm..." Yang Pingsheng hummed in agreement, glancing at a breakfast stall. "How about that?"
"I won't eat it," the system replied. "I'm playing the hedgehog today."
So Yang Pingsheng ate breakfast all by himself today.
"It tastes awful," he thought as he ate.
The porridge had a bitter taste, and the steamed buns were like dry firewood, not fluffy at all, with hardly any meat inside, making them taste like chewing wax.
Ironically, he hadn't eaten anything particularly delicious in all seven worlds.
After thinking about it, the flower tea cakes in the first life were quite good. In the second life, Luo Benmo made a stew once, which was also delicious. And in the fourth life, Su Murong stole a roast chicken from the kitchen for him, which also tasted good.
If I had to pick my favorite, it would definitely be the fruit from the Fifth World.
The fruits from the mountain city are crisp and juicy, and Yang Pingsheng loves to eat them.
He remembered that when they were in school, Song Panning would always secretly bring fruit in. The fruit was wrapped in her handkerchief, and each one was juicy and plump. It would burst open in your mouth with just a slight bite, and it was very delicious.
He ate secretly, and when he turned his head, he could see Song Panning's smile.
Then, that smile changed. In the jumbled memories, the smile transformed into many people: Wen Shihan, Luo Benmo, Xu Anlu...
Now, it has become this lifetime's...
"Huh?" the system suddenly exclaimed. "What's that guy doing here?"
The spoon that was being used to eat porridge stopped. Yang Pingsheng asked, "Who?"
“Li Yaoyang’s daughter,” the system said. “I just scanned her and found that she seems to be standing at the crossroads.”
Yang Pingsheng put down his chopsticks, paid the bill, and stood up: "Let's go take a look."
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Don't eat."
Some people have said that the trajectory of fate is undetectable.
Good deeds leave no trace, and good words leave no flaw. The trajectory of destiny itself is the greatest act of kindness.
Yang Pingsheng never expected to see that guy today.
She was no longer the timid little girl in the cave. Now, she was dressed in the disciple's robes of the cultivation academy, her posture was much more upright, her tied-up hair fell to her shoulders, and a few strands of hair on her forehead swayed in the wind.
She stood there, her small body unmoved by the flow of people.
The moment she saw Yang Pingsheng, her tail stood up abruptly, her eyes widened, and her expression changed, as if—
—It's dawn.
"benefactor!"
She excitedly rushed to him, her tail wagging from side to side.
Yang Pingsheng stared at her tail before finally turning his gaze to her: "You..."
“My benefactor, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Before Yang Pingsheng could finish speaking, she stammered:
"Well, when I saw you that day, I wanted to thank you, but... but I never had the chance. Sister Lanxiu said you're from the Kongling Sect, and the Kongling Sect is a very powerful sect. I can't get in, so... so I thought, if I could meet you here..."
"Then I waited and waited, I waited for several days, and today I finally met you!"
She handed over what she was holding and said, "Thank you!"
Yang Pingsheng took the object; it was a carved wooden plaque with characters he didn't recognize.
"It's the Fox Clan's [Guardian Token]." The system had already retreated before Yang Pingsheng arrived, and only spoke up now: "This thing is like a talisman, a commemorative gift from the Fox Clan."
Yang Pingsheng looked at the wooden sign, then at the little girl. Her eyes were bright as she looked at him, grinning foolishly. She was no longer as humble as before, but her sincerity was dazzling.
"My benefactor," she said, "thank you so much!"
...Is it really necessary to go to this extent?
Gratitude is not absent in Yang Pingsheng's hometown, but it is quite precious, and something like what this little girl did is even rarer.
I only did a few simple things, why make such a fuss?
Moreover, this thief took many things from her; compared to what he took, what did it amount to?
Yang Pingsheng thought that if the girl knew the truth, she would probably hate him.
"I'll accept this, thank you for your kindness." Yang Pingsheng smiled and patted her head. "But don't worry about it, I was just doing it on a whim."
It was just a small favor.
It was really just a small favor.
Everything was just a coincidence.
"My benefactor, I will repay your kindness. I will become very strong in the future, join the Void Spirit Sect, and become a very powerful figure." As the girl spoke, she suddenly became a little nervous: "Can I...can I write you a letter?"
Yang Pingsheng, who was about to leave, withdrew his foot and looked at her strangely.
write a letter?
The system's voice appeared, reminding them: "The fox tribe likes to write letters to their friends as a way to express their feelings and establish a connection between them."
"May I?"
The girl looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"Okay." Yang Pingsheng nodded.
"Really?!" The girl looked at him in surprise, hurriedly patting her pockets. "Then, then your address, I, I'll write it down..."
"The messenger couldn't deliver it to me."
Yang Pingsheng took out a notebook and handed it to the little girl.
"Write it on here, then tear off the paper, fold it into origami cranes, and the letter will automatically come to me."
The little girl excitedly took the letter, then looked at him and asked, "Will you reply?"
"If you have time," Yang Pingsheng said.
"it is good!"
Her face flushed red, and she said excitedly:
“My benefactor, I will repay you, I definitely will.”
Yang Pingsheng watched her take a deep breath, forcing the blush on his face to fade and regain his composure. Then he bowed, turned, and ran away.
"She's really determined," Yang Pingsheng said, watching her retreating figure.
"Yes, indeed resolute," the system said. "Resolute to the point of..."
He's become a bit stubborn.
Most importantly, she killed people, even her own kind. Although she was driven to desperation by being bullied, it also reveals the dark and chaotic side of her heart.
Don't be fooled by her childlike side. She's a ruthless person who doesn't even blink an eye when she kills and buries a body. The system wanted to remind her of this, but looking into Yang Pingsheng's calm eyes, it felt that perhaps Yang Pingsheng had also thought of this.
He didn't say anything because he sensed something else.
Ruthlessness is one aspect, but so is the burning desire to repay kindness.
It's all true.
"It's a good thing that she can firmly walk her own path; at least she's not confused."
Yang Pingsheng said, "If you're not confused..."
Then your heart will be at peace.
"..." The system stared blankly at Yang Pingsheng, at the label deep in his soul, its initial excitement quickly replaced by exhaustion.
It had to change the subject: "Would you like to go anywhere else?"
"...Let's go back."
There's nothing worth visiting anymore.
Although the world is peaceful and prosperous, he really didn't want to go sightseeing anymore.
