“Yes, just a little bit stronger than you.” Dao Xuan looked at Su Jinxue and nodded with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Jinxue was filled with confusion.
She furrowed her brow slightly, lost in thought.
Master Dao Xuan had suppressed the Dog Slaughterer so effortlessly just now. The combat strength demonstrated by such a method was far greater than hers.
How was this just “a little bit stronger”?
Comparing them was like comparing a firefly to the bright moon—actually, the gap was countless times wider than even that.
Beside them, Zhang Mingyuan burst into laughter. “Oh, Master, stop joking around.
“With Little Xuexue's current level, she can't even beat me. How could you only be a little bit stronger than her?
“I bet that 'little bit' is like a hundred million times!”
The moment he said this, Su Jinxue looked as if some underlying code had suddenly been triggered.
Her crimson eyes narrowed slightly, and she reached out, pinching Zhang Mingyuan's ear.
“Zhang Mingyuan, what did you say? Say that again.”
“Ow, ow, ow! It hurts! Wife, I was wrong! I was wrong, okay?!
“Little Xuexue, let go quickly! Master is watching right there. Save some face for me!”
Watching this comedic duo of a disciple and daughter-in-law, Dao Xuan cleared his throat twice, his eyes flickering slightly.
“Ahem... What I meant was... Oh, right!”
Dao Xuan slapped his thigh, looking as if he had suddenly seen the light.
“What your master fully meant is that my current realm is just a little bit stronger than the system on her body!”
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyuan completely forgot the pain in his ear. As if struck by lightning, he leaped up in shock.
He knew all too well what a “system” was!
As a Blue Star transmigrator, this thing was practically the standard cheat code for transmigrators!
Why did Su Jinxue have one while he didn't?
He was supposed to be the transmigrator here!
Zhang Mingyuan immediately pointed at Su Jinxue, his face filled with disbelief.
“Little Xuexue, you have a system and you didn't even tell me! Do you even care about your husband?
“I even brought you back to my hometown to meet my parents, yet you're still hiding things from me!”
Su Jinxue let go of his ear, her porcelain-white face filled with confusion.
She had absolutely no idea what a “system” was, nor had she ever sensed the presence of anything else on her body.
Furrowing her brow slightly, she looked at Zhang Mingyuan and explained earnestly, “Zhang Mingyuan, I do not know what a 'system' is, and I have never had such a thing on me.”
“Huh? Little Xuexue, keep playing dumb! Go on, keep acting!”
Zhang Mingyuan crossed his arms, wearing an “I've already seen through you” expression.
“Even Master saw it. Do you still want to hide it from me?”
“Alright, rebellious disciple, stop bickering,” Dao Xuan interrupted Zhang Mingyuan's endless nagging.
At the same time, Dao Xuan held one hand behind his back. Extremely profound law energy was currently surging and intertwining wildly in his palm...
Keeping a straight face, he looked at the two of them.
“Little Xue indeed does not know about the system's existence.
“Because that system has not been fully activated yet. It has always been in a 'low-power' state, silently protecting her.”
Having said this, Dao Xuan paused and looked at Zhang Mingyuan meaningfully.
“Otherwise, how do you think your Heavenly Marriage was formed? How could something at the level of the Great Dao affect the Xuanling Realm's Heavenly Dao and bestow a Heavenly Marriage upon you?
“The Heavenly Dao must have told you that a supreme power intervened, right?”
Hearing this, those words the Heavenly Dao had spoken flashed through Zhang Mingyuan's mind, and he suddenly came to a realization.
“Holy crap! So that was it!”
Su Jinxue also looked enlightened, though she still did not quite grasp the exact concept of a “system.”
But from what Master Dao Xuan said, it seemed to be some extremely powerful Dao-protecting object.
And the fact that things had progressed so smoothly between her and Zhang Mingyuan seemed to be thanks to this “system”...
Just as the two were having their realizations, the hand Dao Xuan had behind his back stopped moving.
With a flick of his finger, he imperceptibly attached a streak of flowing light to Su Jinxue's hair.
Immediately after, Dao Xuan put on a show of reaching out and making a sudden grabbing motion toward the void around Su Jinxue.
Buzz—
Accompanied by a soft hum, a light-blue sphere of light emitting a mysterious aura suddenly appeared in the palm of Dao Xuan's hand.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Mingyuan's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
“Holy crap! Master, you can even casually grab something as ethereal and abstract as a system? That's terrifyingly powerful!”
Dao Xuan glanced at him, a profound and enigmatic smile playing at the corners of his lips. “Just standard procedure. No need to be so impressed.”
With that, he held up the light-blue sphere of light, his tone turning solemn.
“Your master shall now fully activate this system and let you see its true face!”
As Dao Xuan exerted a bit of force in his palm, a vast power instantly poured into the light-blue sphere of light.
In the next moment, a crisp and emotionless mechanical voice rang out in both Zhang Mingyuan and Su Jinxue's minds:
【Ding! Energy sufficiency detected. The Red Dust Dao Companion System is officially activated!】
Immediately after, a translucent panel emitting a light-blue glow presented itself right before Zhang Mingyuan and Su Jinxue.
