Chapitre 28 : Will I really die of frustration here!?

| I sprawled out on that icy, rock-hard surface, my body desperately searching for even the tiniest hint of relief as I shifted and twisted in various ways, hunting for any semblance of comfort.|

" Why should I suffer like this..."

[ I really wish I had my comfy bed from back on Earth right now, along with my phone. I'm really starting to miss my family too.]

" Guess I'm having mood swings again. I got gloomy all of the sudden."

| I started scrolling, trying to get to know the system better since I've been pretty busy these past few weeks, and there might be some updates I need to catch up on.|

[ I've leveled up so much, I assume that the system has a bit more of a personality now.]

< You're absolutely right!>

"Oh? so you can speak openly now too ?"

[I wonder how my mental state will be after this.]

< To be frank, considering you're already quite the chatterbox in your own mind, my voice joining the conversation up there probably won't do you any favors.>

[ So you can hear my thoughts too, and I thought I would have some privacy. I can just talk to you the way I'm doing now, people won't think I'm crazy then.]

< Sorry but no, that won't always be the case.>

| Upon hearing that response, I was left utterly flabbergasted, and a simmering anger began to creep up within me as I slowly began to fathom the potential implications of what had been said.|

[ Excuse me what ? What do you mean no ?]

< No because you'll have to speak out loud for you to demand some things now.>

| As my anger reached its boiling point, my voice dripping with menace, I demanded to know the rationale behind this sudden and perplexing requirement.|

[ And may I ask why is that ?]

< I wanted to put that in one of my updates. Hehe>

| The chuckle from the system grated on my nerves, and I felt my temper flare, snapping with frustration.|

"You have to be kidding me !"

< I'm not tho.>

" It's an expression you idiot"

< Oh I know.>

" Oh so you're doing this on purpose huh, you think this is funny ?"

< Yes.>

" I-...If you say another annoying word I promise you I'll make you pay for it."

< You can try.>

" Shut !"

[ Goodness !]

(sigh)

"I need to explore this place fully, maybe I'll find a way to sneak out in the middle of the night. Hope the old man isn't awake at that time too."

| I abandoned my covert hiding spot and cautiously began to explore the area. While doing so, I noticed Haoxuans intense gaze fixed upon me, sparking my curiosity about his peculiar interest. I approached him, his unwavering eyes tracking my every step.|

" What, why do you keep looking at me weren't you sleeping a few minutes ago ?"

I'm pretty sure it's been more than a few minutes.

" Honestly I don't know. Anyways, so why are you looking at me like that."

Because.

" Because what ?"

| He whispers something that I couldn't quite hear.|

" Huh ? Speak up I didn't hear you."

I said you're ugly.

{ Lies}

[Why does it seem like everything is trying to get on my nerves today.]

" Haha very funny."

You can start you're training, you've been slacking off lately."

" it's the middle of the afternoon ! I am NOT doing it."

Lazy

| I scoff hearing that nonsense.|

" I'm lazy? Seriously? Take a look at yourself! You spend the whole day napping and barely lift a finger. You're on the cultivation path to becoming a pig."

Do I look fat too you ? Besides you're not any better.

YOU-!!!

< He did not just say that.>

[ I might as well die of frustration here then ! But I'm not backing down !]

" I'm praying you never find a wife and have to put up with me annoying you till the end of time!"

Too bad that's not going to happen.

"You'd be surprised."
