Chapter 313

Lin Zaozao heard the system threaten her halfway before it went silent, so she quickly followed up with a question.

But no matter how many times she asked, the system didn't respond to her.

At this moment, the perplexed Lin Zaozao didn't notice that Gu Shan had briefly appeared by her side.

Now hidden in the shadows, Gu Shan looked at his empty hands with bewilderment.

That possessed person he just tried to capture, where did he go? He was just about to grab him, but he vanished again.

At this moment, Han Ye came in from outside, carrying a tray.

"Zhuzhu, since I didn't prepare a sacrificial robe for you, I could only substitute it with a simple white robe.

Come, try this on and see if it fits?"

Looking at the somewhat tattered white robe Han Ye handed her, Lin Zaozao's face showed utter rejection.

She was currently a three or four-year-old little kid. Wearing a white robe would make her look ridiculous!

"Han Ye, can't you get me another outfit? This white one is so ugly on me."

"But Zhuzhu, you are the High Priestess of Han Country. The High Priestess represents purity and can only wear white robes for life.

If you wear other colored clothes, it would bring disaster to Han Country."

"What? Bring disaster? It's just a shabby robe! You must be kidding me!"

Lin Zaozao shook off the white robe, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"Zaozao, it's true. Even Senior Priest Mingyue at his old age only wears white robes his entire life.

If the priestess doesn't wear white, it means she is not pure. An impure priestess can never succeed in performing sacrificial rituals."

Han Xibei leaned towards Lin Zaozao with a serious tone.

"Is there really such a big deal about just wearing robes?"

Lin Zaozao muttered, but still pulled off Han Ye's outer robe and slipped into the white robe.

After all, her current body was born from the Moonlight Flower Tree. And her soul had transmigrated from another world.

Most importantly, she had a shameless system inside her body.

With so many bizarre things happening to her, even if someone told her that pigs could climb trees and men could give birth, she would believe it.

"Zaozao, you're a little girl. You can't undress in front of boys."

Han Xibei covered his eyes, feeling embarrassed.

"Han Xibei, why are you covering your eyes? I'm a girl, and I'm not shy, so why are you being shy?"

Lin Zaozao struggled to put on the robe while chiding him.

"Of course you're not shy. You're a girl, so there's no consequence for you to be undressed.

But it's different for us! My brother and I are boys. When we grow up, we'll have to get married and have children.

If our reputations are ruined when we're young, how can we get married and have kids in the future?"

"What, what! Han Xibei, are you saying that in this place, boys have to get married and have children?"

"Yes! It's only natural for men to get married and have children. What's so strange about that?"

Han Xibei glanced at Lin Zaozao's childlike figure and said disdainfully.

"Well, you're just a three or four-year-old child, so it's normal that you don't know men have to get married and have children when they grow up.

Besides, you'll be the High Priestess of Han Country in the future. You can never marry a husband and have him give birth to your children in this lifetime."

Hearing Han Xibei's muttering, Lin Zaozao's rising interest was completely crushed.

That's right! She would be the future High Priestess of Han Country, so she could never get married.

So whether it was men giving birth or women giving birth in this world, it had nothing to do with her.

What a waste of her great natural talent...

If she, as the High Priestess, could also marry a husband and have children, that would be wonderful!

After all, she wouldn't be the one getting pregnant and giving birth.

As long as she could support them, no matter how many children her husband gave birth to, she would be happy.

But alas, how regrettable that she couldn't marry a husband and have children here. Dear heavens, what a waste of her great natural talent.

Sitting aside, Han Ye saw Lin Zaozao's dejected look and couldn't help but feel amused.

A three or four-year-old child was already upset because she couldn't marry a husband and have children when she grew up.

It seemed that this High Priestess born from the Moonlight Flower Tree was truly unique.

After changing clothes, Lin Zaozao looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Hmm!

The white robe made her look quite ethereal and pretty.

Except that, while ethereal, she also looked lifeless, like a female ghost - utterly unattractive.

"Han Ye, Han Xibei, let's go out for a meal."

As Lin Zaozao walked towards the door with Han Ye and Han Xibei, she suddenly turned around and called into the void.

"Little Husband!"

"I'm here!"

Gu Shan appeared like a ghostly figure by Lin Zaozao's side, his voice cold.

"We're going to eat, come with us."

After saying that, Lin Zaozao let go of Han Xibei's hand and was about to hold Gu Shan's hand, but he evaded her.

"Zaozao, I'm a nightmare spirit. I can only survive by feeding on resentful energy. You are the High Priestess of Han Country, the guardian of Han Country, while I am a disaster for Han Country.

For your safety, from today onwards, you must not touch me, lest my resentful energy harms you."

"What is a nightmare spirit?"

Lin Zaozao looked at Gu Shan's youthful face, puzzled.

"A nightmare spirit is a monster formed by the accumulation of resentful energy over many years in fields of corpses and seas of blood, disasters incarnate.

Zaozao, I am such a monster. I am neither alive nor dead, only able to survive on resentful energy. If you don't believe me, you can see if I even have a shadow."

Listening to Gu Shan's chillingly cold words, Han Xibei, Han Ye, and Lin Zaozao simultaneously looked at Gu Shan's side.

Indeed, under the sun, Gu Shan's side had no shadow.

Seeing this scene, Han Ye unconsciously pulled Han Xibei back a step. When he was about to pull Lin Zaozao, she dodged away from him.

Lin Zaozao looked at Gu Shan's slightly cold face, and her heart couldn't help but ache for him.

Regardless of whether his next life would be her husband or not, but as a child, seeing him face the horrified and fearful eyes of others, she still couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

So what if he was a nightmare? She was now a ghost who had traveled through time and space!

They were both, one a nightmare and one a ghost, neither more noble than the other.

Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao ignored Gu Shan's objections and directly pulled his hand, walking outside.

"Little Gu Shan, let's go eat with sister."

"I am your future husband, you should call me husband."

Little Gu Shan had a stern face and a cold tone, but his eyes looking at Lin Zaozao were filled with anticipation.

"Alright! Little husband, let's go eat with your wife."

"Zaozao, I'm a nightmare, I can't eat."

"It's okay if you can't eat, we'll drink the northwest wind later."

"Zaozao, don't eat me, I don't taste good!"

Hearing Lin Zaozao's words, Han Xibei immediately shrank closer to Han Ye.

"Little brat, my little husband only eats resentment, he won't eat you!"

Funny, Lin Zaozao rolled her eyes at Han Xibei, then went to pull Gu Shan's hand that had struggled free, and walked outside.

Just as she walked out of the Sacrificial Hall, Lin Zaozao looked at the giant tree in front of her and was so shocked that her mouth could fit an ostrich egg.

Oh my! Don't blame her for having a limited experience, getting so shocked just from seeing a tree.

But then, who had ever seen a tree trunk thicker than a high-rise building, a tree body that could block out the sky and sun?

On such a huge tree, white flowers were blooming all over. Not only were those white flowers large, but most importantly, they were emitting a fluorescent glow.

"So beautiful! I want a pretty flower too."

Lin Zaozao looked up at the white flowers on the tree and unconsciously murmured.

The next second, a fluorescent moonlight flower drifted down from the tree towards Lin Zaozao.

Seeing the glowing flower floating in front of her, Lin Zaozao unconsciously reached out to catch it. When the moonlight flower floated into Lin Zaozao's hand, before she could take a careful look, it immediately turned into a fluorescent glow and dispersed into the air.

"Huh! What happened? That flower just disappeared."

Lin Zaozao looked at her now empty hand, saying in shock.

"Zhuzhu, that is the Sacred Tree of Han Country - the Moonlight Flower Tree.

And you, you were nurtured by it.

Zhuzhu, the Moonlight Flower Tree is also Han Country's wishing tree. If anyone wants to make a wish to it, they must offer the thing they cherish most.

As the child it nurtured, when you wished to it just now, it naturally granted it."

"Really? It's that miraculous?"

Lin Zaozao looked up at the Moonlight Flower Tree in front of her, asking in amazement.

"It is natural," Han Ye said with a light laugh beside Lin Zaozao.

"Moonlight Tree, if it's so miraculous, then Moonlight Flower Tree, I want to see my dad, mom and little brother. Can you take me home?

I don't want to stay here, I don't want that damn system, and I don't want to dedicate myself to doing good deeds for others."

After silently praying in her heart, Lin Zaozao looked at the Moonlight Flower Tree in front of her with anticipation, hoping it could take her back home.

Unfortunately, she remained standing in the same place, and the Moonlight Flower Tree did not take her back home either.

"Zhuzhu, to wish upon the Moonlight Flower Tree requires sacrificing the thing you cherish most. What do you have that you can sacrifice to the Moonlight Flower Tree?"

"Sacrifice?"

Lin Zaozao looked around, as a poor wretch, what did she have that she could sacrifice to the Moonlight Flower Tree?
