Chapter 597
Wu Yan might appear familiar with Yukari but he’s secretly very amazed by her .
<hr>
Wu Yan has been abiding the rules set by the System, if he wants an item he has to pay for it with item points, if he wants to enter transcript worlds then he has to do the quests that came with it . Even the special item required to unseal the Mysterious Crystals needed to System to help with the refining process
Meanwhile, Yukari just resisted the System with her own power .
She only extended the duration of summoning but that is already an eye-opening feat for Wu Yan . Subconsciously, Wu Yan has always treated the System like an omnipotent thing .
Yukari basically schooled Wu Yan with her actions . She showed him that the System can be resisted .
He also recalled how their return-to-town scrolls failed when he needed it the most . Wu Yan started thinking that maybe the System is just that, a highly-sophisticated system .
Yukari took in Wu Yan’s every expression . Her eyes had a weird glint and she suddenly said .
“The System is actually very inscrutable to me . ”
He turned back in shock . Was it that easy to read? How come both Shokuhou Misaki and Yak.u.mo Yukari can read him like a book?
Yukari chuckled, with a jovial smile, she revealed a grace that shocked Bing Ling and Bis.h.i.+ who are both terrified of her .
“I had my fair share of annoying people and troubling events in Gensokyo . However, I have never seen something that can make equipment out of nothing, give people powers, sp.a.w.n countless wondrous items, and even seize people’s life and forcefully merge them to another being . ”
<hr>
Yukari eyed Wu Yan and she continued .
“Really, my life feels like it’s not mine anymore, if the System had slipped up and omitted details pertaining to you or the System then I might have pegged you as the mastermind and dissected you upon summoning, I don’t like being played like a chesspiece on someone else’s board . ”
Wu Yan s.h.i.+vered and he instantly put a distance of 3 meters between him and Yukari . Her words chilled his heart .
Holy c.r.a.p, as expected of the Youkai Sage . She’s pretty but she’s also someone who threw the word dissect out like it’s part of her daily vocabulary or something . Wait, you’re actually the one who likes playing with people’s lives, wasn’t it?
She placed the parasol on her shoulder .
“Ara, Yan-kun, don’t be afraid, with my small life merged with yours, I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you…”
Wu Yan awkwardly laughed . Yak.u.mo Yukari adopted a lowly tone whenever she wanted to pull one over the other person . She’s only serious when she drops her respectful tone .
Since she used a more serious tone when she said the stuff about dissecting him, it would be wise for him to treat her previous sentence with a more serious att.i.tude .
“Hey, Yukari…”
Wu Yan asked her with a serious look .
“What do you think about the System?”
She narrowed her pretty eyes and she examined his expression . It’s like she’s reading his thought with her vision, he felt exposed in her gaze .
With such a long life, she probably acc.u.mulated an insane amount of wisdom, monstrous even . Her sage t.i.tle isn’t wasted on her . Even Shokuhou Misaki would seem like a toddler if she tried to plot in front of this terrifying lady . Wu Yan didn’t believe he would be able to hide anything from her .
Wu Yan had no intention to omit anything from her . Her summoning time is still limited but since her life is one with him, he reckons that he can place his trust in her .
Wu Yan did this despite meeting her for the first time today .
They stared at each other, it’s like the pair of red eyes and purple eyes can transmit telepathic messages with each other .
