Chapter 90: Kiss Kiss Kiss Part2
Tang Yue was already used to this.
She completely ignored the system that answered her question with a question and patiently repeated her words again.
“Could my evolution skill be upgraded at higher levels?”
[Such impatience! Yes, Yes. Isn’t it obvious? Why ask me such an obvious question?]
[Why don’t you ask me about the lucky wheel? Isn’t it time for you to spin it again?]
Tang Yue’s mouth twitched.
The lucky wheel was something she didn’t want to bang her head against just yet.
Who knows what nonsense the damned system was going to throw her way this time around?
Her fingers recollected the soft squishy feeling they had experienced before and Tang Yue sighed, rubbing her temples.
She shook her head and focused back on the specifics about her mysterious Evolution skill.
“Master, am I also capable of absorbing a spirit beast’s bloodline or even a higher intelligent being like an elf’s bloodline?” Tang Yue curiously asked.
She was half-expecting a whimsical good for nothing answer, but suddenly the air around her turned chilly.
Fear crept down her spine and a deathly violent killing intent seeped out making it difficult for Tang Yue to even breathe.
[A higher being’s bloodline requires you to kill hundreds of thousands of that species. Are you ready to do that?]
The old man’s voice thundered inside her brain.
“I… I” Tang Yue stammered, holding her throat and coughing weakly.
Her nails dug into the ground for support and her eyes widened in pain.
What was happening?
Tang Yue was utterly baffled as to what the hell was happening to her!
One instant, she was simply asking some hypothetical questions and the next instant, the system was trying to choke her to death?
Tang Yue coughed some more and tried to get out some words, but the system’s angry old voice thundered again.
[Massacring for survival and massacring for power]
[Do you know the difference between those? Or are they both the one and the same for you?]
With every passing second, things were only getting more and more difficult for Tang Yue.
She began to feel a tremendous pressure pressing down on her soul. It was as if the sky had fallen down and was crushing her very being into nothingness.
“Both… kill the living… How is… different?” Tang Yue answered barely holding on. She merely replied what was on her mind.
She didn’t have the time or energy to lie her way out of this and something told her that any small lie would be instantly detected by the conniving old bastard.
But deep down in her heart, she knew that she could never be cruel enough to kill millions and millions of any living creature unless it threatened her very existence.
[Choose your words wisely, little snake.]
[As if your life depends on it…]
The system thundered again, enunciating each and every single word.
Tang Yue shivered.
She was already at her limits with the air around her suffocating her to the very extreme, but suddenly she felt even more miserable.
She felt as if her soul would be completely shattered and obliterated at any given instant now.
“I … never…kill… blindly.” Tang Yue mustered the last of her strength and answered feebly, managing to get out these four small words.
She didn’t know if that was what the system wanted to hear or if those simple words would be sufficient to get her out of this mess, but that was all she could say right now and she definitely meant what she said.
And finally… 2 seconds later…
The pressure imprisoning her slowly started relaxing.
The system’s voice had also calmed down to several decibels lower.
[Consider this a warning, little snake. You better not even dream about building yourself in that way.]
Cough Cough Cough Cough
Tang Yue struggled as she greedily sucked in the air around her, gasping for breath.
She had always considered this mysterious system to be a boon, but right at this moment, she was not so sure.
She did not like how her life was at the mercy of something else or rather someone else whom she did not completely understand.
Why did the old man suddenly get so angry? She had no clue.
She grabbed a mug of water close to her and guzzled it down her throat.
Only after several minutes she finally managed to calm down and breathe normally.
But a sense of restlessness and vague anxiety still remained in the corner of her mind.
Tang Yue clutched her shivering hands, and stared absent-mindedly, unsure of what to do next, when the system’s usual frivolous nasally voice sounded again.
[Why so serious, little snake? How about you try the lucky wheel?]
“….”
[I am sure it will bring you some pleasant surprises.]
“….”
Tang Yue opened and closed her mouth wordlessly. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Who pinches a child and then asks the same child why she is crying? What bastardly character is this?
She knew that the system probably didn’t want her to go on a killing spree and murder anything and everything in sight, consuming all living beings to improve herself but isn’t there a better way to convey this message?
Tang Yue blinked a few times and then, for the lack of a better response to the shameless suggestion, she weakly nodded.
“Sure, let’s have a look at the ‘lucky’ wheel.” She sighed and shook her head, deeply engrossed in her thoughts.
From today’s events and yesterday’s events, one thing was crystal clear to her.
She might not be a cripple anymore but she was still cannon fodder, a struggling worm at the bottom of the food chain.
Be it this mysterious system or the arrogant crown prince, both held a tremendous amount of power over her and that needed to change soon! As soon as possible!
