"I currently live in the city of Rock Desert City, east of the Jia Ma empire, near the Tagore Desert. I first need to decide my plans, and then begin my journey to the top." Tang Yunxiao muttered to himself before getting out of bed the next day.
"System, tell me its functions."
[Di... Replying to the host, the functions of this system are System Store, Trading, Storage, Plot Subversion, Lottery Drawings and World Travel, but this function will only be released after the host reaches a certain level of cultivation. .]
"Okay, system, explain to me how the plot subversion and exchange function works."
[Di... Responding to the host, the plot subversion will be triggered automatically every time the host takes one of the original protagonist's chances, this also applies to important characters, for example if the host conquers Queen Medusa, Gu Xun' er among other helpful characters like Hai Bo Dong, this will count as one of the biggest chances the protagonist could have.]
[Di... About the exchange function, the host can use gold coins, techniques or pills acquired in this world to exchange for other things directly in the system store. In the case of gold coins it will be 20:1(20 gold coins per 1 system point.)
"Interesting, will this also work with Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian? Maybe Yun Yun and Ya Fei as well, but this is something to think about later, I need to take it one step at a time, first I will learn some techniques that are in this ring of storage."
Tang YunXiao muttered as he headed towards the bathroom to wash himself again, this is a custom from his previous life, taking a shower before going to sleep and after waking up, in his house at least that doesn't need to be changed, after some time Tang Yunxiao already had changed, he then sat in the lotus position above the carpet and began rummaging through his storage ring.
"High-Level Huang Rank Technique, Infernal Palm, Intermediate-Level Xuan Rank Technique, Raging Flame Palm, High-Level Xuan Rank Technique, Incinerator Palm, High-Level Xuan Rank Technique, Golden Crow Fist, Technique Rank Xuan Rank, Golden Flame Blades, Rank Xuan Rank Cultivation Technique, Fire Domain."
"As expected of the Ancient Flame Clan, even their simplest techniques are all fire attribute, wait, this is... High level Celestial rank technique, Flame Emperor's Seal... How the hell can this be here? shouldn't it be the Yan Clan's most powerful technique? Is my mother so bold as to give her crippled son something so important and valuable? Damn it!"
While rummaging through the storage ring, Tang Yunxiao found several techniques that could easily be regarded as good, but he suddenly found something quite unbelievable, after a slight faux pas he decided to put this thing in the system storage, how much trouble could he get the existence of this thing were discovered?
Leaving that aside, he started to study the techniques that he found useful, whether those of Huang and Xuan rank, he studied as many as he could, in which three days passed quickly, Tang Yunxiao wondered why his guard didn't show up even once this In the meantime, but he decided not to mind, a hidden guard's job is to stay hidden after all.
On the fourth day Tang Yunxiao decided to leave his residence and walk around the city, but before that he decided to look in the mirror for the first time since he arrived here.
His appearance was a bit plain, unlike the Yan clan members who used to have red hair, Tang Yunxiao had straight black hair that reached just below his shoulders, his eyes were fiery red, his eyebrows were also black, his body was well-defined but not muscular, this appearance satisfied him.
Tang Yunxiao resolved to wear a dark blue robe that covered his entire body, but he lowered his hood, there was no reason to hide his face, no one in this entire city knew him, since his former self arrived in this city he barely left his residency, and as said before no one dared to bother him, and the few who tried just mysteriously disappeared.
This is considered a quiet and small town, there are no great forces in it apparently, 90% of the cultivators here are mercenaries, its strongest cultivator doesn't even reach a Dou Ling, this is also a mixed city where humans and Snake-People coexist, Tang Yunxiao saw several of them while walking through the city.
Suddenly halfway through his path, Tang Yunxiao spotted a small, green-haired girl being attacked with stones by several teenagers.
"You monster, get out of here now, you disgust me."
"Filthy thing, just die and disappear, you're not welcome here."
They shouted somewhat incompressible and unacceptable things while throwing stones at the girl, she just defended herself as best she could, this little girl was always treated badly for being a hybrid between humans and snake-people, even if other snake-people saw her being beaten, they never intervened, which was really disgusting.
"Stop it!" Seeing such a scene Tang Yunxiao couldn't help but run straight towards the girl, with his soul power he knocked out two of the attackers easily, which scared the others right away.
"You, what did you do to them?" One of the attackers asked shakily.
"Humph, a bunch of worms banding together to intimidate a little girl, get out of here or your fate will be the same as theirs!" Tang Yunxiao shouted angrily.
"You... You just wait!" One of the attackers yelled as he turned to run, seeing this Tang Yunxiao just scoffed, these irrelevant characters really exist, how pathetic.
"Ahhh, please don't hit me anymore." As Tang Yunxiao approached the little girl, he heard her whimper in a low voice. Tang Yunxiao felt sorry for this poor girl at first, she was so beautiful and cute, she didn't deserve such treatment just for who she was.
'Uh? What's up?' The little girl thought as she felt something touch her head, it was a completely new sensation for her, she was confused but felt a little comfortable inexplicably.
Only then did she open her small, bright green eyes, then she realized that there was a young man stroking her tiny head, her first reaction was to wonder again what was going on.
"Little girl, do you have a name?" Tang Yunxiao asked as he noticed the curious eyes of the girl staring at him below.
"Ahhh, I'm Qing Lin, who are you? W-W-What are you doing?" She said stuttering slightly.
'How cute is she, how did that trash have the nerve to leave her behind? Hateful.' Tang Yunxiao thought as he remembered the fact that Xiao Yan had only taken Medusa and Gu Xun'er with him to The Great Thousand World.
"Hmm, my name is Tang Yunxiao, as for what I'm doing, that's called affection, don't you like it?" Tang Yunxiao just replied as he continued to stroke the girl's head, he then helped her to her feet.
"II don't know, don't you think I'm ugly and disgusting? Why did you help me and now you're so close to me?" she asked with watery eyes.
"How could I find such a beautiful and adorable little girl ugly and disgusting? Is it because of those scales that you feel ugly and disgusting? They are beautiful, they make you even more beautiful, they are part of you, and without them you are not would be yourself."
Those words echoed in the girl's head, it made her even more confused, but her heart felt sweet for the first time in her life.
