Chapter 339
On the screen, Lin Zaozao clearly saw her life's ordeals.
In the Han Country, an unprecedented great drought struck for a hundred years. The Old Sovereign and Old Priest were about to sacrifice her to the Holy Tree—the Moonlight Flower Tree.
After being nurtured by the Han Country's Holy Tree, the Moonlight Flower Tree, she became the child of destiny for this realm.
As the child of destiny for this realm, the system forced her to sacrifice her various organs to obtain special abilities in order to help the people here.
When she had just transmigrated here, she struggled, sought death, and rebelled against the system's cruel sacrificial demands, but her every rebellion ended in failure.
Under the system's control, she could neither survive nor die!
Thus, in the extreme tug-of-war with the system, she slowly grew up.
Until one time, when she was seeking death, she unexpectedly met Gu Shan, the nightmare abhorred by the world.
Disregarding others' objections, she brought him out of the dungeon and made him her Dark Guard.
At that time, she did not know Gu Shan's true identity but only that he was a Dark Guard who disliked standing in the sunlight and talking.
Back then, she enjoyed teasing the icy-cold Gu Shan, making him speak and laugh.
Gradually, through their interactions, the two became close friends who could talk about anything. Although Gu Shan disliked touching her, he would quietly stay by her side, protecting her.
Back then, she had not yet had her health taken away by the system, so she was free and happy.
The restless her accompanied Han Ye, Han Xibei to the frontier to visit the commander Murong Hai, who guarded the border.
Back then, Murong Hai was a dashing young general. His skin was not as fair as those noble sons in the Han capital due to constantly guarding the frontier.
Instead, his rugged skin had a wild, untamed beauty.
On the battlefield, Murong Hai was merciless in killing, but when facing Lin Zaozao's teasing, he would always blush and feel flustered.
Life on the frontier was simple yet Lin Zaozao's favorite time because during that period, the cursed system did not frequently demand her sacrifice.
Once, when Murong Hai took her to roam the Frontier Region, Lin Zaozao encountered the Wolf-born Child Xi Luo, whom people called a "wolf's son," and a bearded man called the Wizard by the frontier herdsmen.
At that time, Xi Luo was abhorred by the world for his cursing ability.
The Wizard's ability was the opposite of Xi Luo's—every word he uttered was a blessing.
These two people with opposite natures were able to stay together, perhaps because they did not fear each other's abilities!
Back then, the naked Xi Luo, except for his eyes, had a face identical to Lin Zaozao's younger brother Lin Luoluo from her previous life.
Seeing Xi Luo crawling on the ground like a wolf cub, constantly letting out wolf-like howls of warning towards Lin Zaozao.
Murong Hai and the Wizard told her that once the Wolf-born Child spoke, every curse he uttered would come true, dooming him to be abhorred by the world.
But Lin Zaozao missed her brother too much. Seeing this face identical to Lin Luoluo's, how could she care?
For the first time since transmigrating, she disregarded everyone's objections and directly brought Xi Luo back with her.
She also adopted Xi Luo's two adorable wolf cubs, naming them Qian Duoduo and Mi Duoduo.
And she had Xi Luo go from being a Wolf-born Child abhorred by all to a respected Little Priest of the Han Country.
With Xi Luo, Qian Duoduo, and Mi Duoduo's company, Lin Zaozao spent a blissful period playing with chicks and dogs. Unfortunately, that happiness did not last long.
Because in the time that followed, she encountered the fabulously wealthy traveling merchant Ruo Qiu. At that time, the Han Country suffered poverty and famine due to the unprecedented great drought.
Moreover, Ruo Qiu had been poisoned by a scheme from his parents and siblings, and after seeking treatment from divine doctors in vain, he could only place his hope on the Han Country's new priest, Lin Zaozao.
Ruo Qiu found Lin Zaozao and said he was willing to provide the Han Country with the gold, silver, grain, and hay they desperately needed. In exchange, he hoped Lin Zaozao could save his life.
Back then, although Lin Zaozao was a priest of the Han Country, she did not possess outstanding medical skills to remove the poison from Ruo Qiu's body.
Moreover, if even the Divine Doctor Clan and Valley of Myriad Poisons could not cure the poison afflicting Ruo Qiu, how could Lin Zaozao?
Just as Lin Zaozao was at a loss, that cursed system, disregarding her will, directly traded Lin Zaozao's health for the ability to cure all diseases.
After Lin Zaozao saved Ruo Qiu's life, her health was taken away by the system. It was at that time that her body had already been tormented to extreme frailty by that cursed system.
Dragging her extremely frail body, Lin Zaozao no longer had the vigor of old and could not go around creating mischief with Xi Luo anymore.
More importantly, she was afraid that Xi Luo, Han Ye, and the others would discover the abnormalities in her body.
So the frail Lin Zaozao could only tell Xi Luo that she had grown up and should fulfill the responsibilities of a high priest.
Faced with Lin Zaozao's sudden change, Han Ye and Han Xibei brought Ji Fantian from the Divine Doctor Clan and Chun Jun, the Valley Chief of the Valley of Myriad Poisons, to examine her body.
But due to the system's control, Ji Fantian and Chun Jun could not find any cause for her condition.
Most importantly, although extremely frail, Lin Zaozao dared not tell Han Ye, Han Xibei, Xi Luo, Gu Shan, and the others about her condition.
The system had warned her that if she told anyone about the system inside her, it would inflict the punishments meant for her onto her friends instead.
Although not a good person, Lin Zaozao could not bring herself to do anything that would harm Han Ye, Han Xibei, Xi Luo, and the others.
Because they had truly been too good to her...
