Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Back in her room, Hongyun grew increasingly angry. How could he have given up so easily? If Zhen Yuanzi wanted to learn, wouldn't he have started from scratch? Why couldn't he?

Without further ado, Hongyun went out and found some materials that could be used for refining weapons, and immediately began the process.

They're all things with little spiritual energy, so I didn't expect them to succeed. I wouldn't feel bad if they failed.

But Hongyun never expected that refining weapons is not like cooking; you can't just throw things away after a failure.

The sudden explosion caught Hongyun off guard, leaving her no time to set up a barrier, and she had no choice but to retreat herself.

With a loud "bang!", Hongyun's room was engulfed in flames, and the adjacent house was also quickly set ablaze.

Hongyun was very close to Zhen Yuanzi's room. Hearing the explosion, she rushed over, thinking that Hongyun had been injured.

To everyone's surprise, Hongyun just stood in the courtyard watching the fire burn, without even considering putting it out.

[Ding! 10,000 Rage Points have been credited to your account!]

"What are you doing!" Zhen Yuanzi glared at Hongyun, then cast a spell to extinguish the fire with water.

Hongyun then remembered that the second thing to do after a fire is to put it out.

He was so focused on recalling which part of the process went wrong that he forgot he had magical powers and could put out the fire at any time.

"I failed at refining the weapon, that's all." Hongyun looked at Zhen Yuanzi with innocent eyes, trying to get away with it.

But Hongyun herself knew that she couldn't get away with this.

"Why wasn't a barrier set up before refining the weapon?" Zhen Yuanzi gritted his teeth in anger as he looked at the house that was almost burned down.

"I forgot~" This isn't an excuse, it's the truth...

Hongyun was picking at her fingers with her head down, which was really embarrassing.

If you're any more foolish, you might as well just stay inside and wait for someone to rescue you.

"You..." Zhen Yuanzi collapsed, clutching his forehead in despair.

This time, Hongyun didn't need Zhen Yuanzi to do anything; she directly used magic to restore the house to its original state.

Zhen Yuanzi snorted coldly, thinking that Hongyun always used his keen sense of observation for unnecessary reasons.

"Don't be angry, I'll stay away from that kind of thing next time..." Hongyun lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Zhen Yuanzi turned and left; he no longer wanted to see Hongyun. Hongyun's kindness was more infuriating than her mischievousness. To avoid being driven mad by Hongyun's malice, it was best to calm his mind.

Hongyun looked at her room with a pitiful expression. Although it had returned to its original state, the bed and furniture that Hongyun had created with her magic were gone.

House, Zhen Yuanzi.

Hongyun glanced in both directions again, then ran to catch up with Zhen Yuanzi.

Along the way, Hongyun made up various excuses to talk to Zhen Yuanzi: "This isn't the way back to your room, where are you going?"

However, Zhen Yuanzi pretended not to hear it.

After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi found a stream in the mountains and used magic to direct the stream water into Wuzhuang Temple.

They then rearranged the barrier around Wuzhuang Temple, one in Hongyun's room, one for each of the three innate spiritual roots, and one for the entire Wuzhuang Temple.

After the barrier was set up, Zhen Yuanzi said, "The barrier around your room is separate. From now on, even if you set it on fire, flood it, or cast a spell, it won't affect the houses or people next door."

Hongyun had no right to refuse; Zhen Yuanzi had already made the arrangements.

Hongyun wasn't happy. The barrier seemed to be working fine. But Hongyun felt that Zhen Yuanzi had separated him, and if anything happened again, only his own house would be destroyed.

"I'm not going to study anymore. I can't learn it anyway, and I might lose my life someday."
