When system cheat becomes rampant!

The voice of Kongcheng suddenly became melancholy again, sounding particularly sorrowful.

"I didn't see the so-called past," Xiang Beifei said.

Across the corridor railing, he looked along the street towards the distance. The empty street meandered and twisted into the distance, all he could see were various shops, some small courtyards, large gates, rising and falling, arranged in an orderly manner.

This city is very cold and gloomy, always filled with an indescribable oppression.

But Xiang Beifei couldn't find a living person.

He even wondered whether the system interface he had just seen was real or fake.

"That's why you appear special," Kongcheng chuckled bitterly.

After a moment, he asked again, "You haven't answered my question, where does your power come from?"

"The Dao embryo I cultivated myself," Xiang Beifei said.

"But surely someone taught you."

"My Dao embryo taught me in a very special way, which is hard to explain for the time being," Xiang Beifei said.

"Dao embryo, huh..."

Kongcheng looked thoughtfully at Xiang Beifei and then shook his head, "But you don't have a system."

"So you know about the system?" Xiang Beifei stared at Kongcheng.

In the wilderness outside the domain, besides the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, most Yi Tribe cultivators were unaware of the system, they understood it as Dao embryo.

But this guy actually knew about the system and even knew that he didn't have one.

"I know many things, but uniquely, I can't know anything about you," Kongcheng said, looking at Xiang Beifei, his eyes flickering with deep light, "You are like a non-existent person."

"You're too kind."

"I did not compliment you."

"I consider it a compliment."

"..."

Kongcheng's previously clear thoughts seemed to be disrupted by Xiang Beifei again.

He had never met someone with such thick skin!

How inexplicably, he seems not to know what to ask anymore.

Alas!

Kongcheng sighed again.

But upon reconsidering, he realized that this young man's way of speaking was actually quite smart, as he always used a clever rhetoric to interrupt others' questions and then shift the topic.

He suddenly realized, earlier this guy had quite a few questions, but soon sat down to drink, enduring the time without bothering to continue questioning, seizing the initiative firmly.

Seemingly reckless, yet actually very astute.

"It seems I can't find out anything," Kongcheng said with a bitter smile.

"You're just giving up like that? Not using any hard means? Not threatening me?" Xiang Beifei asked curiously.

Kongcheng raised his head, looking at Xiang Beifei, "I never kill, nor threaten."

"But I feel countless people died here."

"Yes, countless," Kongcheng nodded, "But they all died by their own hands, you are different."

He paused, saying softly, "You won't kill yourself."

"You seem very disappointed?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Excited," Kongcheng said sadly.

But Xiang Beifei did not sense any excitement from his words.

This guy's tone was like mourning, Xiang Beifei always wanted to ask why he was so sentimental.

"Can't you be a bit happier when you speak?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Having seen too many worldly grudges and joys and sorrows, one inevitably becomes emotionally touched by the scenes," Kongcheng said gloomily.

"Then I must ask, why is this thing always following me?"

Xiang Beifei didn't turn back, he reached out his finger and knocked behind himself.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

He knocked on the coffin lid.

This unlucky thing really sneaked behind him again, almost sticking to him, never leaving.

He resisted the urge to smash it.

"Because it's always waiting for you, but clearly, you don't want to lie inside," Kongcheng said.

"It's normal not to want to; I don't like coffin lids that open, I like sliding ones," Xiang Beifei said casually.

"Sliding coffin lids?"

Kongcheng seemed a bit surprised.

"Yes, like this." Xiang Beifei casually waved his hand, Spiritual Power gathered in his hand, a small coffin model was conjured by him, its lid could slide left and right, and also forward and backward.

"Since you are the City Lord, you might consider designing the coffin with a trendy style. This way, sales would improve. Everyone is competing fiercely these days, even with coffins. Yes, you could consider designing a coffin with a rolled-up lid."

Xiang Beifei tapped the coffin lid in his hand "dada dada."

Kongcheng: "???

He rubbed his temples again, looking a bit troubled.

"I don't like this design. Why won't you let me smash it?" Xiang Beifei inquired again.

"If you smash it, something bad will happen because the person lying in there is not you, but someone you know."

"Someone I know?"

Kongcheng poured himself another glass of Osmanthus Wine and picked up a piece of preserve.

"You must have someone close to you who loves Osmanthus Wine and Maple Sugar Preserves. They are likely to be close to you, so chances are, they will end up lying in there instead."

Kongcheng seemed pleased with the food and grabbed another handful of seeds.

Xiang Beifei furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

He realized who that person might be.

Osmanthus Wine and Maple Sugar Preserves, he had never tasted them before, but he had heard of them.

That person once told Xiang Beifei: his biggest fear was his favorite little shop, no longer making Maple Sugar Preserves and Osmanthus Wine.

"If I smash this coffin, will you kill him?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Kongcheng said gloomily: "Not me, but you. I don't kill."

Xiang Beifei fell into deep thought.

At that moment, several angry "woof" sounds suddenly came from the darkness of the inn, followed by Xiaohei appearing with its mouth wide open, tearing at the air like it was biting a large hole, and it emerged from the hole it made.

"Woof! Woof woof! Woof!"

Xiaohei seemed extremely angry, baring its teeth at Kongcheng, then grabbed a brick and swung it towards Kongcheng.

The golden patterns on the brick flashed swiftly in the air and hit Kongcheng.

But the expected scene of the golden patterns freezing Kongcheng did not occur; Xiaohei and the brick passed straight through Kongcheng's body, propelled by inertia, towards Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei raised his hand and caught Xiaohei.

"Woof woof!"

Xiaohei stood angrily on Xiang Beifei's hand, baring its teeth at Kongcheng.

"This little guy is quite cute." Kongcheng said sentimentally.

"You can see it?" Xiang Beifei was a little surprised.

"I can see many things. Whatever you can see, I can see too." Kongcheng sighed.

Xiang Beifei's frown deepened.

What on earth is this guy's background? How can he be so strange?

Kongcheng stood up, stretched lazily, and said: "You should leave now. There are a lot of things I can't tell you, at least not now."

He raised his hand, and suddenly the scenes around them rapidly changed as if the whole Kongcheng was moving, and Xiang Beifei hadn't moved. In an instant, Xiang Beifei found himself at the gates of Kongcheng.

The chair beneath him was gone, but he steadied himself with a step.

"We will meet again. Make good use of your breath soil, and you will understand in the Edge Corner Airspace, every bit of land is precious."

Kongcheng sighed deeply.

He sighed all night long.

Before Xiang Beifei could say anything, the breath soil sandstorm suddenly rolled over, engulfing the entire city. When Xiang Beifei wanted to look again, the city had already disappeared.

"What a strange guy."

Xiang Beifei grew more puzzled. He stood there contemplating for a moment and finally chose to turn around and leave.

——

In the desolate dead city, red lanterns lit up everywhere.

Kongcheng stood on the city gate wall, watching Xiang Beifei's departing figure. After a moment, he turned back to look at the city.

After Xiang Beifei left, strange people began to appear suddenly in every courtyard and shop. These people looked either indifferent, twisted, or full of resentment, running wild on the streets, screaming, even beginning to kill each other.

Boom boom boom!

These people fought in the city as if there was no one around, destroying area after area of courtyards. In just a blink, the once-deadly quiet city was laid to ruin.

If Xiang Beifei were still here, he would see that each of these strange people had a system interface above their heads!

Of course, here, it's not just people, but numerous other things as well.

All of them known to Xiang Beifei!

"It's strange that thing would be on him. It seems he hasn't realized he has something like that."

Kongcheng looked at the turmoil in the city, not stopping it, merely talking to himself.

"But he is not strong enough yet, unable to control it. Oh well, let's wait. He will always need this city."

Kongcheng shook his head with a sigh, his face filled with sorrow again.

"Silent empty city, distant old friends..."
