Chapter 242 - 244: Binding a New System

Chapter 242: Chapter 244: Binding a New System

’But can you really tell their Beast Rank when they’re still in their shells?’

Su Luoluo didn’t quite understand. She looked at Xiao Ye. "They’re still eggs. Can you really tell their Beast Rank?"

"Yes, I’ve already scanned them. Once I hatch them, you’ll see."

Seeing how certain Xiao Ye was, Su Luoluo didn’t doubt him.

After all, she had the soul of a human and knew less about snakes.

Luan Ting listened from the side, frowning. "Why on earth would that person cast a curse on Luoluo for no reason?"

Mo Xuan also found it strange. "Exactly. Could someone have been jealous of your beauty, so they hit you with the Face Loss Curse?"

Fu Feng stroked his chin. "That’s not impossible. It looks like to get to the bottom of this, Luoluo, you’ll need to find your foster mother."

Hearing the words "foster mother," Su Luoluo shuddered. The incident with Xi Yi had only just concluded, so why was this being brought up again so suddenly?

’I wonder how Si Cheng is doing with his search for the Black Bear Foster Mother.’

At that thought, she subconsciously glanced at Si Cheng, only to find his brown eyes staring blankly at Xi Yi.

’What’s wrong?’

’He...’

Su Luoluo froze for a moment. When Fu Feng heard no response, he called her name again. "Luoluo?"

Su Luoluo snapped back to reality. "Mm, I’ll go find her when I have time. Let’s focus on the little ones first."

Su Luoluo had just given birth, so it was normal for her to be busy with the babies. Hearing this, Fu Feng said no more.

Afraid they would ask about the Black Bear Foster Mother again, Su Luoluo quickly changed the subject. "The little ones are old enough for names now. What do you guys think we should call them?"

Su Yang shot Su Luoluo a look. "What’s the rush? Wouldn’t it be better to wait until my precious grandsons are a little older? I want to see what their superpowers are and then choose names that fit."

Su Luoluo was speechless.

’The bond between grandparents and grandchildren really is special.’ Su Yang was doting on these little ones so much.

But since Su Yang had laid claim to naming the boys, Su Luoluo wasn’t about to give up the right to name the little female. She continued, "In that case, I’m naming the little female myself."

’Such a beautiful little female should be named by me, of course.’

’But Nantu isn’t back yet.’

Su Yang was a bit reluctant, but seeing Su Luoluo’s insistence, he ultimately agreed. Who was he to argue? She was the little ones’ Mother, after all.

Seeing Su Yang was a little unhappy, Su Luoluo chuckled and asked, "Father, how are things going with the city-state partnership?"

...

Meanwhile, Su Nuannuan had been thrown to the bottom of a cliff, left all alone.

Her arms and legs were broken, making even taking a sip of water a struggle. She crawled on her elbows for a long time before finally finding a pond.

Lying by the wild pond, she had only licked up a few mouthfuls of water when her stomach started to rumble.

She could only continue crawling, hoping to find something to eat.

But just as she turned, a wave of dizziness washed over her, and she plunged headfirst into the pond. GURGLE, GURGLE. Water rushed into her nose. She tried to struggle back to the surface, but her arms and legs wouldn’t move at all; she couldn’t thrash her way up.

Su Nuannuan watched in despair as water continued to flood into her nostrils.

’I’m going to drown here today, aren’t I!’

"DING! I am the Charming System. Does the host wish to bind with me?"

’A system? What is that?’

Su Nuannuan thought she was having auditory hallucinations before death and couldn’t help but murmur the thought.

To her surprise, the voice replied instantly, "If the host binds with me, I can save you immediately. I will give you a novice gift package: a bone-setting reward that will restore your arms and legs to their original state."

"Can you really fix my broken arms and legs?" Su Nuannuan asked urgently in her mind.

"Of course. As long as the host binds with me, I can heal your limbs instantly."

"I agree! I agree to bind!" Hearing this, Su Nuannuan latched onto it like a drowning person clutching a straw, agreeing immediately without asking any questions.

’I’m about to die anyway. What is there to refuse?’

As long as it could save her, Su Nuannuan didn’t see any downside to binding with this "system," whatever it was.

She just didn’t know what this system really was.

’Whatever. I’ll figure it out after I get out of the water.’

"DING! Congratulations, Host. Binding with the Charming System successful. Now dispatching bone-setting reward."

The voice in her head had just finished echoing when, a moment later, Su Nuannuan felt a pulling sensation in her arms and legs. Then, she could move them.

Overjoyed, Su Nuannuan immediately started paddling her arms and legs, climbing out of the wild pond.

It all happened so magically. She couldn’t help but feel herself over, discovering that her once-broken, immobile limbs now moved freely, without a trace of pain.

That thing called a system hadn’t lied; it had really fixed her arms and legs. ℯ

Su Nuannuan said gratefully, "Thank you, System. Where are you? I... I’ll make you a meal to thank you!"

For some reason, images of making beggar’s chicken flashed through her mind. The system would probably love it.

Hearing this, the system’s cheerful voice rang out, "You’re too kind, Host. I am a system; I can’t eat the food you make. As long as we cooperate well, that will be enough."

’It can’t eat?’

While Su Nuannuan was still puzzled, a blue screen flashed into existence in the air.

Floating on it were some writhing white things, a bit like worms. She couldn’t understand what she was seeing, but stranger still, the screen itself was speaking.

’Could this be a Heavenly God?’

At this thought, she immediately prepared to kneel and show her reverence.

However, before she could even fully crouch down, the thing in the air flickered rapidly and said, "Host, do you want revenge? I can help you."

"Revenge? Revenge for what?" Su Nuannuan was stunned.

Her mind was a blank. What grievances did she have?

The system said in a tempting voice, "Those people deserve to die. They erased your memories and made you forget your hatred. But don’t worry, Host, I can help you restore them."

With that, the system floating in the air began to play some clips.

As Su Nuannuan watched the images flashing by, her head felt like it was about to explode. She clutched her head with both hands, writhing in pain on the ground as the memory fragments surfaced in her mind.

Her dazed eyes began to turn an ever-deepening crimson.

So it was Su Luoluo who was behind her broken limbs. That hideous female not only stole the five Beastmen who belonged to her, but she also ruined her face.

She even got one of her Beastmen killed.

She could never forgive her. Never.

Once she remembered everything, she stood up, still clutching her head, and looked at the blue system. "I need your help. System, what do I need to do?"

The system, seeing that Su Nuannuan had taken the bait, showed a flicker of pride. "Excellent, Host. It seems you’ve remembered everything."

"Did you know you were originally the Charming female lead of this world? It was that villainous side character, Su Luoluo, who stole everything from you, causing you to fall to your current state. That’s why you must take back what is rightfully yours."

"As long as you take back everything that belongs to Su Luoluo, her own system will punish her. She’ll be plunged into a state worse than death, and the Beastmen you lost will all return to you."

’So that’s how it is.’

’No wonder everything that belonged to me was lost after Su Luoluo became a completely different person. It turns out a system was helping her.’

Su Nuannuan’s hands clenched into fists, her fingernails digging into her palms. Veins popped on her hands as she said with a vicious glint in her eyes, "I will take back everything I’ve lost. I will not let her go."

"Host, for now, you must hurry to a certain place and give the salt making technique to a certain person. He will be your new capture target."

"After you succeed, you will obtain beautiful hair and cause trouble for Su Luoluo."

Hearing this, Su Nuannuan nodded and hurried toward the location the system had indicated.

As she left, the system floating in the air saw her go. Its code began to flicker erratically, and a mechanical voice spoke: ’Don’t think you can defeat me just by tampering with my directives. The King of Loopholes is unpatchable. Heavenly Dao, you won’t win against me this time.’
