System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

In the deep valley, Xu Zhoujiao's figure appears particularly resolute.

She had just been sent out of the mysterious cave by Taishang Laojun without any warning. The waterfall that closed again before her was like a natural barrier, separating the unknown from the known.

There was a mixture of reluctance and doubt in Xu Zhoujiao's eyes.

She knew very well that the truth might be hidden behind the waterfall, but at this moment, she was ruthlessly blocked outside the door.

The truth is right before our eyes.

Xuzhou Jiao didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Just when she was ready to go to Taishang Laojun to ask for clarification regardless of everything.

A childish but firm voice interrupted her thoughts.

The little boy guarding the Wanxi Lake blocked Xuzhou Jiao's way with an unquestionable attitude: "City God, Master ordered me to send you out, please follow me."

Looking at Xu Zhoujiao, she was still staring at the waterfall, not moved by his words at all.

It was as if that layer of mysterious mist was an unsolved mystery in her heart.

The little boy couldn't help but raise his voice and said to her again: "City God, my master ordered me to send you out, please follow me."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Xuzhou Jiao would not cooperate with him, the little boy added:

"Master said that the time has not come for what you are looking for, and it is useless to force it. He asked me to tell you that everything has a destiny, and the best policy is to let nature take its course."

Hearing these words, Xu Zhoujiao finally reacted. She looked at the serious-looking child in front of her and weighed the options silently in her mind:

Since Laojun doesn't want me to delve into it any further, it will be useless to continue to dwell on it.

Might as well just leave.

Who knows, there might be some other chance of turning things around!

Even though she had thousands of worries in her heart, Xuzhou Jiao could only follow the little boy and leave the Tushita Palace with a lot of questions in her mind.

Along the way, Xu Zhoujiao's steps were particularly heavy. Every step seemed to be in line with the rhythm of her own thoughts.

She couldn't understand why Taishang Laojun had already started talking, but stopped halfway through his words?

What is he hiding?

Just as Xu Zhoujiao was immersed in her thoughts, a white-haired old man quietly appeared in front of her.

The old man had white hair and beard, a kind face, and his eyes revealed a kind of wisdom and tranquility that was detached from the world.

He was dressed in a simple blue shirt and holding a finely carved wooden stick. He seemed to have walked out from the depths of time, bringing with him an indescribable sense of peace.

"Girl, are you confused?"

The old man's voice was gentle and powerful, like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away some of the haze in Xu Zhoujiao's heart.

Xu Zhoujiao looked up at the old man, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Then he nodded and said softly:

"What the senior said is very true. I do have something on my mind that is difficult to resolve."

The old man smiled slightly and looked into the distance with deep eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"There is indeed an extraordinary view inside the waterfall. But it is not easy to peek into it if you are willing. Everything in the world has its own laws of operation. You cannot force it, and there is no need to force it."

Looking at the old man's expression, he understood everything.

Xu Zhoujiao couldn't help but ask, her tone full of desire and curiosity: "Senior, do you know what is hidden behind the waterfall?"

The old man shook his head, his tone still calm:

“I don’t know the details.”

"But I can tell you that it is a promise about protection, and also a deal that concerns the safety of the three realms. And you may not have waited for that opportunity yet."

Hearing the old man's words, Xu Zhoujiao murmured to herself, "Timing?"

"Another time?"

"What exactly does timing mean here?"

Xu Zhoujiao was puzzled and felt mixed emotions.

She understood what the old man meant: don't be impatient, what is coming will come, just wait patiently...

But this is related to the grudge between her and the system. She cannot remain calm and wait for the opportunity!

The old man seemed to see through Xu Zhoujiao's persistent thoughts, patted her shoulder gently, and said earnestly:

"Girl, life is a long journey, so don't rush. Sometimes, only by letting go of your obsessions can you see a wider world. Just keep moving forward with peace of mind, and the scenery that belongs to you will appear at the most appropriate time."

After saying this, the old man turned around and disappeared in the gentle breeze.

Xu Zhoujiao stood still, repeating the old man's words in her mind. Her restless heart gradually calmed down as the old man's words deepened.

She had a feeling:

The old man who just appeared seemed to be there just to enlighten her...

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

"Jiaojiao? Why aren't you talking or moving?"

"Chilong, your master, could it be that he left his soul in the Tushita Palace? I've never heard of this Laojun being able to summon souls!"

"Don't talk nonsense, we adults are fine!"

"Young man, you have to know that there are all kinds of things in this world."

"I, your dog master, just happen to know a dance that makes you feel extremely ecstatic after you dance it. No, it can summon spirits!"

"Just wait. When your Lord Dog finishes dancing, your Lord's soul will return!"

Xu Zhoujiao just came back to her senses from her thoughts.

I heard the Red Dragon and Roaring Sky Dog beside me talking to each other in words that I couldn't understand.

She didn't understand what was going on, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw the Sky-Howling Dogs surrounding her, standing on their hind legs with difficulty.

It danced its front legs at a dazzling rhythm, mumbling to itself:

"Ah, demons and ghosts, please leave now... demons and ghosts, please leave now..."

Xu Zhoujiao looked at the twitching Roaring Sky Dog with a blank face, thinking:

This dog must have some kind of crazy disease.

"Howling Sky Dog, why are you having a seizure when you're fine?"

Xuzhou Jiao had just finished speaking.

Roaring Sky Dog lost his balance on his hind legs and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the Red Dragon who was watching from the side hurriedly helped Roaring Sky Dog up and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Roaring Sky Dog shook his head, got up and said, "I told you that summoning spirits would work! You still don't believe it!"

"Look, your master's soul has returned."

The Chilong, who didn't know the truth, looked at Xuzhou Jiao who had "recovered" to normal after Roaring Sky Dog's jumping. His eyes widened immediately, and he nodded to the calm Roaring Sky Dog!

Xu Zhoujiao, who was originally confused, was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing the word "summoning the soul".

So, the Sky-Roaring Dog was screaming and whining because it thought it had lost its soul!

Looking at the worried expressions of the dragon and the dog in front of her, Xu Zhoujiao said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just thought of something and was distracted."

"My soul is not lost!"

Hearing that he was distracted, Chilong and Xiaotian Dog breathed a sigh of relief.

"But..." Xu Zhoujiao frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Who was that old man just now? Why did his words make me feel so relieved..."

"Old man? What old man?"

Hearing what Xuzhou Jiao suddenly said to the old man, Chilong and Xiaotian Dog looked at each other in horror. The breath they had just let out came back with a click!

"It's bad, it's bad Chilong, your master's soul may not have come back yet! He has even started to lie with his eyes open! Quick, follow your master and dance together."

"Try to get the next one and bring back your lord's soul!"

The frightened Red Dragon twisted its stiff body under the instruction of Roaring Sky Dog. Following it, it bared its teeth and claws, twisted and turned...

"Ah, demons and ghosts, please leave now... demons and ghosts, please leave now..."
