Chapter 761 - Embezzlement (2/2)

“I see, thankfully Sir System didn’t kill you back then.” Fang Ning could not help but rejoice.

“Shut up, I couldn’t have killed it anyway, alright? It had so many achievements and virtues. If I had killed it, how much Heavenly Merit Points would have been deducted?” The System said righteously.

“Oh, so that’s it. You were just being miserly, but succeeded by a lucky stroke and ended up laying down the groundwork for the Heavenly Axiom’s counterattack today.” Fang Ning mused.

“Damn it, you’re secretly scolding me again. A kind System really gets bullied by others. It’s clear that I have great merits, okay?” The System felt very wronged.

“No, there was another reason. I told you not to act directly because I was worried about Cang Gongzi’s face.” Fang Ning immediately snatched the merit. This was related to his position in the Heavenly Axiom’s thoughts.

“Hmph, whatever you say. I’m still the one with the greatest credit.” The System said with force.

“Well, speaking of, if we want to release this old demon, we have to consider Xiao Cang’s feelings as well. That’ll be a little troublesome.” Fang Ning scratched his cheek.

“You’re so indecisive. What’s the point of being overcautious? I saved the true spirits of all of Xiao Cang’s family, wait, I think I missed one. It’ll take some time and several rare items to recover back into the state of a soul, but there’s always hope. Isn’t that enough?” The System said disdainfully.

“Sigh, what do you know? Hate isn’t something that you can let go off just by saying so. It depends on him. After all, his entire family was killed, so his hatred is as deep as the sea. Plus, he was saved by the son of his enemy. Gratitude and grudges tangled together, it’s basically a palace drama.” Fang Ning reprimanded.

The System did not know anything about the ways of the world at all, so how would it be able to understand that?

“I don’t get it, just handle it. In any case, you better not let that old man out too long. After all, he’ll definitely go against us.” Sir System said shrewdly.

“Hm, I have an idea. Can you make a copy of the saddle you put on Tom the cat?” Fang Ning asked.

“Of course I can, but the other party has to be willing as well. After all, I’m a heroic System, not an evil god. I can’t force others to put on shackles.” The System explained.

“I know that already. Just hurry up and do it, stop wasting time.” Fang Ning urged.

“Why’re you so diligent today? That’s weird…” The System said gloomily.

“Isn’t it good that I’m diligent?” Fang Ning also became gloomy.

“I’m just worried that you’re under a spell or something.” The System said confidently.

“That’s impossible and will never be possible, because I’ll only stay in the System Space.” Fang Ning said triumphantly.

“Shut up. When you were in the Land of Sanguinity, you were hit by that memory loss debuff…” The System sneered.

“Damn it, wasn’t that your fault in the first place?” Fang Ning immediately grew furious when the System brought it up.

“Uh, I’m going to build a mousetrap now. Bye.” The System backtracked and quickly escaped.

Fang Ning did not understand that retard. He returned to his body and said to Nie Yuan, “In that case, I’ll give you a chance.”

Nie Yuan was overjoyed at his words and could not help but look at the stone monument.

Under the monument, there was a faint figure that seemed to be excited.

After being suppressed by more than a year, he had thought that he would only be released after centuries.

Who would have thought that there was the hope of being released now? Even if Elder Ancestor Bai was extremely shrewd, there would definitely be something revealed.

“Thank you for your kindness, Venerable One. I’ll definitely repay your actions in the future.” Nie Yuan said earnestly.

“Wait, I still need to prepare some things to release him, so you go back first. Right, leave the sword behind.” Fang Ning said.

“Understood. I’ll look forward to hearing from you.” Nie Yuan respectfully placed the sword on the ground and left without any hesitation.
