413: Xiao Hao, Leng Shazi, and Ha Di's system tasks

Wang Feng looked at the Xingchen Sword upgrading in his storage space, and hugged Jiang Hanxi in a daze for a while, his mood inexplicably dropping.

Presumably… apart from Jiang Hanxi, Liu Qingyao, and him, everyone else on Heavenly Cang Continent must have… all died, right?

It had been ten lifetimes. In the first eight lifetimes before the ninth, he had also had good friends, but they all died due to various accidents.

The Cultivation World was still too dangerous; one could lose their life in an instant. Alas~

Every time Wang Feng thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Since his first life, when he transmigrated to the Cultivation World, it was probably only Jiang Hanxi who had stayed with him completely through nine lifetimes.

Uh… she killed him eight times with her own hands, so that should count as accompanying, right?

After all, she was present at every death, which could be considered an alternative form of companionship…

My Disciple Xiao Hao, you poor fellow.

And Disciple's wife Chu Yaner, Silly Dog Hardi, Old friend Leng Ningyue, Sword Sect Saint Son Amnesty, Sword Sect Ancestor Old Lin, and so on…

Wang Feng felt a bit bitter in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at the dragon head totem that was slightly visible on his chest. He didn't know why.

Ever since he was resurrected, the little dragon in the totem space had been sleeping and hadn't woken up yet.

Wang Feng felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart until… the next second, he heard the system's 'ding, ding, ding' mission notification sound!

"Ding, Mission: Find Xiao Hao, who is about to fall into depravity in the Immortal Realm. Reward: 100 million source points. Time: Within 100 days."

"Ding, Mission: Help Cold Fool in the Immortal Realm overcome a forced marriage ordeal. Reward: One old matchmaker's red thread. Time: None."

"Ding, Find Silly Dog Hardi, who is evading pursuit and barely surviving in the Immortal Realm, and help him overcome his difficulties. Reward: One most, most, most loyal silly dog. Time: None."

"System! Are you serious!?

"Ding, Of course! These missions can be done or not done, it's up to the little host."

At this moment, Wang Feng hadn't finished feeling sentimental when he was completely baffled by this series of missions from the system…

No! Buddy!?

After Wang Feng reacted, he was instantly excited, then he quickly suppressed his body's movements, fearing he would wake the person in his arms.

If Jiang Hanxi hadn't been in his arms, Wang Feng would have been so startled that he would have stood up at that moment.

However, in his excitement, Wang Feng still accidentally startled her slightly.

"Be good~, sleep…"

Wang Feng gently patted Jiang Hanxi's back. This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Jiang Hanxi gently nestled her head into Wang Feng's arms, feeling his firm chest.

And with the reassuring aura from her Husband, Jiang Hanxi slowly fell asleep.

In fact, the main reason she could fall asleep was due to soul exhaustion.

On the other side, Wang Feng began to ponder in his heart, asking the system for information on the three missions.

"System, where is Xiao Hao now?"

Wang Feng first asked about Xiao Hao's whereabouts because among the three missions, only Xiao Hao's mission had a time limit.

This meant that Xiao Hao was not far from falling into depravity, definitely within a hundred days. Wang Feng knew the system's temperament on this point.

"Ding, Locking Xiao Hao's location requires fifty million source points."

"By the way, System, I have a question."

Wang Feng pondered the number of fifty million source points, and suddenly a question arose.

"Ding, Hmm? What question?"

"That is, since you can issue a mission about Xiao Hao falling into depravity, why can't you lock his location?"

Wang Feng frowned slightly, feeling the warmth in his arms as he spoke to the system in his mind.

"Ding, Missions are not entirely issued by me. You can understand it as an instinctive function of my system."

"Ding, Because the host's thoughts were detected, and Xiao Hao's life has not perished, I instinctively issued this mission. It was not issued by my autonomous consciousness."

"Oh? So, this is a conceptual mission-issuing ability within your system's functions?"

Wang Feng seemed to understand.

Simply put, it was like an autonomous program built into the system that would trigger whenever certain conditions were met.

No wonder when he used to have some strange thoughts, the system would always issue missions at just the right time.

"Ding, That's how you can understand it."

Actually, the system was also a bit confused. It couldn't quite understand this function of inexplicably issuing missions.

Perhaps this was its special function as a main god-level system—it could issue missions and grant rewards without needing to exploit the world's origin.

Of course, these rewards were not from the system's own consciousness, but came from the depths of its origin, produced and given for free.

However, the clever system connected it to one thing: Wang Feng's nine-colored great luck. It didn't know if the two were related.

"Alright, when my Niangzi wakes up, I'll see if I can ask her for two treasures, and then locate Xiao Hao's position."

"Let her recuperate her soul first; it should be soon."

Wang Feng muttered twice in his heart, not knowing if he was saying it for the system or for himself.

Wang Feng gently lowered his gaze, looking tenderly at the sleeping Jiang Hanxi. At this moment, there was no other way; he could only wait for her to wake up.

He hadn't forgotten that this Silly wife's cultivation was ridiculously strong. He estimated that once Xiao Hao was located, she could quickly help him find the person.
