Zhang Mingyuan's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He pointed at the light-blue sphere of light:
“Master!!! You are insanely awesome!!!”
Dao Xuan waved his hand, putting on the air of a supreme master:
“Rebellious disciple, stop making such a fuss. Stay calm! Standard procedure, I already told you it's standard procedure.”
Right at that moment, the emotionless mechanical voice rang out in their minds once again:
【Ding! It has been detected that host Su Jinxue already has a Dao companion: Zhang Mingyuan. The system is currently synchronizing the binding process...】
【Binding successful! Congratulations to the host and Dao companion for jointly activating the 'Red Dust Dao Companion System' and triggering the Newbie Gift Pack!】
【Ding! The Newbie Gift Pack has been distributed: Obtained 'Yin-Yang Fortune Pill' ×2 (Note: After consumption, the user can ignore the barriers of the Red Dust Immortal realm, with a 100% chance to conceive a supreme Immortal Embryo), Great Dao-grade dual cultivation secret art 《Dragon and Phoenix Resonance Art》 ×1, and Innate Fortune Conception Bed ×1 (Note: Comes with its own soundproofing and Great Dao concealment arrays to help you enjoy yourselves to the absolute fullest!)】
Looking at the rewards on the panel, Zhang Mingyuan beamed with joy and slapped his thigh:
“Awesome, awesome, awesome! I, Zhang Mingyuan, never expected that I would get to play with a system one day! This cheat might be late, but it still arrived!”
Beside him, Su Jinxue's gaze swept over the glaring reward items on the panel.
Especially when she saw terms like “conceiving an Immortal Embryo,” “dual cultivation secret art,” and “conception bed,” a bright crimson blush instantly flushed her porcelain-white cheeks.
Scenes of her and Zhang Mingyuan sweating profusely and working hard together uncontrollably flashed through her mind.
Even the system note's “enjoy yourselves to the absolute fullest” seemed to magnify infinitely before her eyes.
Su Jinxue was so embarrassed that even her translucent earlobes turned dripping red. She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously twisting together.
Once his excitement passed, Zhang Mingyuan suddenly realized a blind spot. He turned to look at Dao Xuan:
“By the way, Master, something's not right!”
“Aren't I supposed to be the transmigrator?”
“Why is this system on Su Jinxue instead?!”
Hearing this, the enigmatic look on Dao Xuan's face instantly froze, and his heart skipped a beat.
Crap, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have bragged so much earlier. How am I going to explain this?
Whatever, let's stall for time first and think of a strategy.
Dao Xuan coughed dryly twice. Placing his hands behind his back, he looked up at the deep universe and let out a sigh, pretending to be profound:
“Sigh, this matter! We'll have to start from your past lives!”
“Past lives?!” Zhang Mingyuan was completely stunned. “What's going on?! We even have past lives?”
Su Jinxue also raised her head blankly, her crimson eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.
Suddenly, Dao Xuan slapped his thigh:
“Yes, your past lives! Speaking of which, in your past life, Little Xue was actually your mother.”
As he spoke, the corners of Dao Xuan's mouth curled up wildly, and he couldn't suppress his grin no matter what.
!!!
Zhang Mingyuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his mouth fell open so wide it looked like he could swallow the entire Blue Star in one gulp.
Su Jinxue's expression was also incredibly dramatic!
For the first time in her life, her eyes went wide and round, her crimson eyes filled with shock and utter disbelief.
“Hahaha!”
Watching their expressions, Dao Xuan burst into uproarious laughter. He laughed so brilliantly, yet so like a complete maniac.
Zhang Mingyuan snapped out of it, immediately lunging forward to grab Dao Xuan's shoulders and shaking him violently:
“Wait, no! Master, what the hell are you laughing at?! Make yourself clear, damn it! What do you mean she was my mother?!”
Su Jinxue was also getting anxious. Her bare feet lightly tapped the void as she took half a step forward, her gorgeous face filled with urgency and panic.
She was Zhang Mingyuan's... mother in her past life?!
Then their current relationship... what would that count as?!
Just thinking about it made her legs unconsciously press together.
An extremely bizarre, almost forbidden feeling welled up in her heart, causing her breathing to grow slightly rapid.
“Alright, then your master will make it clear to you,”
Dao Xuan said, coughing twice after being shaken dizzy, before finally adopting a serious expression.
“And that is—”
Zhang Mingyuan and Su Jinxue both pricked up their ears, not even daring to breathe. “What is it?”
“And that is—your master was obviously teasing you.” Dao Xuan grinned.
As soon as he said this, the two froze, and then the surrounding air seemed to solidify.
“You old geezer, I'm going to choke you to death! Is this the kind of joke you can just make?!”
Zhang Mingyuan instantly flew into a rage, locking his hands tightly around Dao Xuan's neck. He squeezed with all his might, looking very much like he wanted to throttle the old geezer into a dried duck neck.
Seeing this, Su Jinxue also clenched her fists.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely stop Zhang Mingyuan's “sacrilegious” behavior.
But right now, she just stood aside without saying a word, clearly furious at Dao Xuan's joke as well.
Dao Xuan's eyes rolled back as he was choked by Zhang Mingyuan, foaming at the mouth. “Rebellious disciple... stop... your master is going to be choked to death by you!”
“That's perfect! If I choke you to death, I can consider my apprenticeship complete! Today, I shall slay my master to attain the Dao!”
Zhang Mingyuan gritted his teeth.
“Then don't use your crappy laws of annihilation! It tickles your master to death! Yihee, hehehehehe—”
Dao Xuan, tickled by the law energy on Zhang Mingyuan's hands, let out a laugh like a baboon.
This demonic, infectious laughter, carried by spiritual energy, instantly echoed across the entire Solar System.
Even a place like the Blue Star, which was isolated by a supreme barrier, was penetrated slightly by this laughter.
Fortunately, it was only a fraction, dissipating as it traveled down through the atmosphere. Otherwise, people from all nations would have been alarmed by this bizarre phenomenon, and officials would have had to step in to debunk the rumors.
That whole process would have been extremely troublesome.
After choking him for a full two and a half minutes, Zhang Mingyuan finally released his "rebellious master," panting heavily.
Dao Xuan scratched his neck to soothe the itch while loudly cursing Zhang Mingyuan for being a rebellious disciple.
“Old geezer, can you speak properly now?” Zhang Mingyuan rolled his eyes in annoyance.
“Cough... cough... Fine, you rebellious disciple...”
Having gone through this ordeal, Dao Xuan had finally successfully come up with a story to fool him.
Adjusting his messy robes, he said in all seriousness:
“Actually, things like systems are obtained by those destined for them. They aren't exclusive to transmigrators!”
“Is that so?” Zhang Mingyuan looked at him suspiciously.
“Yes, yes.”
Dao Xuan nodded repeatedly. Fearing that Zhang Mingyuan would press further, he immediately changed the subject:
“My disciple, do you know why you cannot enter the Blue Star?”
“Why?!”
The moment this was mentioned, Zhang Mingyuan instantly threw the matter of the system to the back of his mind and asked eagerly.
Putting away his playful expression, Dao Xuan said solemnly:
“That is because you have stayed in the Xuanling Realm for too long.”
“For a full five thousand years, the aura of another world you carry has become too heavy. The fundamental rules of the Blue Star no longer recognize you and treat you as an external invader.”
“It has nothing to do with your previous analysis about high-dimensional energy blowing up the Blue Star or whatever.”
Zhang Mingyuan furrowed his brow in thought.
Looking at him, Dao Xuan ruthlessly dealt a finishing blow:
“In other words, as of right now, you can no longer enter the Blue Star. Do you understand?”
These words were like a clap of thunder, exploding directly in Zhang Mingyuan's head.
He couldn't go home?
To him, this was a bolt from the blue!
The homeland he had yearned for for five thousand years and his parents were right before his eyes, yet he was told he couldn't enter?
“Master, then what should I do?” Zhang Mingyuan's eyes turned red with anxiety as he grabbed Dao Xuan's sleeve.
Looking at his anxious disciple, and then at Su Jinxue, who also wore a worried expression beside him...
His mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
“There is a way.”
Dao Xuan pointed to the system panel that had not yet dissipated in front of them:
“And that is—you two must return to the Xuanling Realm immediately and make a baby!”
“Through the Blue Star lineage your child will inherit from you, the rules of the Blue Star will recognize you once again, and only then can you enter.”
“And at that time, as the mother of the Blue Star bloodline, Little Xue will naturally be able to enter the Blue Star with you!”
