Seized by the System

“Great Azure Dragon, why didn’t you save my face?” Chong Daqing flew towards it and held tight to the Azure Dragon’s antlers, shaking it back and forth while confronting it angrily.

“Daqing, please understand that punishing evil-doers is doing justice for the world, how can I involve personal affairs? You are still young and do not understand the implications. Do not be easily swayed by others in the future and interfere rashly when I’m am doing justice…” the Azure Dragon said matter-of-factly.

“Um… So you are aware of everything. I was feeling sorry for that woman but since you mention it, I promise not to interfere in the future.” Chong Daqing immediately let go of his antlers and replied with embarrassment.

“It’s good of you to take the advice. Now, return to the realm, I’ve prepared your meal…” continued the Azure Dragon.

“Oh, you are the best. Much unlike my father who only knows to give empty promises.”

Chong Daqing was delighted. It might have lost a treasure but it did gain a free meal.

Chong Daqing then vanished from Vigilante A’s antlers.

Fang Ning could not take the conversation anymore and hurriedly hid in the internet café.

“Only someone as thick-skinned as you would be able to declare your service to justice that way. I definitely would not be able to do it,” he was impressed.

“Hoho, not too bad, right?” Sir was pleased.

“Not too bad indeed. Daqing believed it anyway. I’ve started to realize that you are only able to trick kids like this.” Fang Ning shook his head.

“Damn it, you still look down on me. I may be only one and a half years old but I’ve got 50 years of working experience…” Sir did not give in.

( AllNovel )  “Stop this nonsense and let me take a look at the System notifications,” Fang Ning started to do serious work.

“You’re finally getting concerned with work,” Sir was relieved.

System notification: [System has released its largest capability, power assessment is Inland-Sea level.

System activated the form of True Dragon. System has utilized the unique attack of Inland-Sea level ‘Divine Blessing Attack’–’Azure Dragon Goes to Sea’.

System attacked Azure Mountain’s Second-in-command – Shang Ruoyu.

Critical strike!

Dragon Force suppression!

A deathly blow!

Divine Blessing Attack!

Shang Ruoyu has been defeated.

System received five billion experience points.

System received low amounts of reputation.

System’s fame spreads mildly in the universe, universe reputation has risen from 1 point to 2 points)

“Er, why is the reputation so low?” Fang Ning was puzzled.

“There’s no choice, it’s because I let him go. But just as well, if he was kept in the System’s Penitentiary, there would be no experience. This is a lousy rule. I won’t simply jail those who are formidable. I’ll just teach them a lesson and if they don’t learn, I’ll teach them another lesson,” Sir said excitedly.

“Listen to yourself. If you beat them up and let them go, they might hurt someone later. You would need to differentiate those who don’t always do evil, like Shang Ruoyu. He had a reason for his actions, so you can let him go after beating him up. But for those demons, how can you let them go? They will do evil as long as they are alive, it is their nature. You need to kill them and not lock them up.” Fang Ning lectured.

“Okay, I understand. I’ll let Mr. Rich Boss study the loopholes. You are truly a programmer. I cannot be compared,” Sir agreed.

…

“I thought I told you to stay where you were, why did you follow me? Don’t you know you would have died if he decided to attack you?” Shang Ruoyu was slowly recuperating as he said to his wife helplessly.

“I know, but, but…” Qi Hui shook her head.

“Forget about it. Today I found out that there is always someone better than I am out there. This is the reason my brother never leaves the mountain despite being a Powerhouse. He does know fear…” Shang Ruoyu gave a small smile.

“Hey, you still have the mood the talk about him? We are not far from the mountain’s entrance, let’s hope he does not divine this.” Qi Hui was anxious.

“Don’t worry, he doesn’t care about this. About your promise of our fortune to Vigilante A, I don’t mind since I don’t have a penny to my name and not many savings. Looking as he has interest in Spring Burst, we can offer him the stock seed. But what about your sister?” Shang Ruoyu continued.

Qi Hui was conflicted and lowered her head for quite a while before replying, “I can no longer allow my sister’s trouble to affect others. I spoke to your Big Brother before we left the mountains. He told me that you would meet with a catastrophe after we leave, and it will be caused by my sister. But I kept it to myself. Will you forgive me?”

Shang Ruoyu went into a daze. He could not believe it and yet, it was something that he had expected.

“I forgive you because I believe that you must have thought that I was capable of handling this catastrophe,” he said with difficulty.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t want this to happen. You are right. When I found out that your catastrophe involved Vigilante A, I tried to talk you out of it because I knew that he was a willing fighter, a person who was from a different world. It was a catastrophe that you might not be able to pull through,” Qi Hui replied with equal difficulty.

“Let’s forget about it, we are family. We still have tens of thousands of years to spend together. Don’t blame yourself, this was my choice,” Shang Ruoyu explained.

“I’ll just let my sister become a Spirit Cultivator… I’ve thought about it. She is highly talented with potential and there is no need to seek perfection. She has your brother to lay the foundation for her, which is luckier than most,” Qi Hui said quietly.

“I have no objections, but will she agree?” Shang Ruoyu smiled bitterly.

“I agree…” a weak voice came from where Shang Ruoyu was.

“I’m sorry, brother-in-law. If you died at the hands of Vigilante A, I’d have fought him to the end at the cost of my spirit,” the voice continued.

“Er… This is a good thing,” something was not right, and Shang Ruoyu quickly stopped his sister-in-law from continuing.

Qi Hui was ecstatic, “Dear sister, don’t blame your brother-in-law for being incompetent, it’s just difficult to fight with Vigilante A. He is born to be a warrior on the bloody battlefield, and we are just romantic poets. If we continue the fight, we will only be destroyed.

“I understand. Sorry, sister, for nearly costing you your lives,” the voice continued.

…

While the family of three are talking about their private affairs, Vigilante A was actually nearby.

“Damn it, I’ve been tricked! I can’t believe Azure Mountain’s Second-in-command is a poor sap!” Sir said angrily.

“Um, judging by his lofty demeanor, he doesn’t seem like someone corrupted. It’s normal if he doesn’t own much,” Fang Ning was understanding.

Just like the gentlemen of olden days, not many were rich.

“That Qi Hui actually offered half her property in exchange for his life, I really should have killed both of them with a sweep of my tail…” Sir said viciously.

“Enough of this. Even a rotten boat has three nails. If it was some other person, they probably would have duped you. But this Shang Ruoyu has pride, if he promised you half of what he has, it won’t be too shabby,” Fang Ning said with conviction.

“That would be great,” Sir finally cheered up.
