When the Side Character Gets a System and Travels through Difference Worlds

The moment the God Trapping Array was complete, that familiar silver imprint appeared once more. Tan You squinted, paying it no mind. Her full attention was on the Heavenly Thunder descending from the sky.

Every demon beast feared Heavenly Thunder—Tan You was the sole anomaly, drawing it in for Body Refining. Just as the Heavenly Thunder began to fall, a scream suddenly erupted from the Moon-Embracing Rabbit’s territory.

Tan You stood just outside the array. Her Spiritual Power was currently weak, and with the Moon-Embracing Rabbit’s territory being so vast, her line of sight was limited. Tan You frowned slightly, then swiped her right hand through the air a few times. The God Trapping Array, which had been blanketing the rabbit’s entire territory, began to shift.

As if it had a mind of its own, the array located the Moon-Embracing Rabbit with pinpoint accuracy. After it had completely enveloped Yue’er, the Heavenly Thunder rained down like a meteor shower, striking her and making her shriek again and again.

She had no time to use any artifacts to defend herself and could only scream and dodge ceaselessly under the barrage of Heavenly Thunder.

Qing Yuan, who had been in seclusion, was forcefully roused. When he emerged, he saw the Moon-Embracing Rabbit writhing amidst the flashing thunderbolts.

"Yue’er!" Qing Yuan was both shocked and furious. He had no time to investigate the cause of the situation; instead, he charged into the storm of thunderbolts, trying to pull the Moon-Embracing Rabbit to safety.

Upon seeing this, a smile touched Tan You’s lips.

The Beauty System covered its eyes with its tiny paws. "He’s just asking to die."

Sure enough, the moment Qing Yuan charged into the lightning, the relatively gentle Heavenly Thunder suddenly intensified, crashing down on him and the Moon-Embracing Rabbit like a raging tempest.

Qing Yuan had always prioritized Spell cultivation and disdained the tempering of his physical body. After taking just three bolts of Heavenly Thunder, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

Tan You tsked. "Only three bolts of Heavenly Thunder? He’s that weak?"

He had wanted to protect the Moon-Embracing Rabbit, but in the end, Qing Yuan was the one more severely injured. The Heavenly Thunder gradually subsided, finally giving Qing Yuan and the Moon-Embracing Rabbit a moment to catch their breath.

The Moon-Embracing Rabbit struggled to crawl to Qing Yuan’s side. "Qing Yuan, are... are you alright?"

Qing Yuan forced himself to rally. "I’m... fine. And you...?"

"I’m fine too..."

"What a touching romance. It makes me want to tear you two apart." A cold female voice rang out as Tan You strolled into the God Trapping Array, a mocking smile on her face.

Qing Yuan and the Moon-Embracing Rabbit stared at Tan You in unison, their faces filled with grim astonishment. Upon getting a clear look at her face, Qing Yuan froze. "It’s you?"

"That’s right, it’s me." Tan You nodded. "I used to think you were invincibly powerful, but it seems you’re not so special after all."

If Qing Yuan was merely surprised, the Moon-Embracing Rabbit was terrified. She knew without even thinking that Tan You’s arrival meant this would be a fight to the death.

The rabbit struggled to back away, but Tan You had no time for pleasantries. She seized the Moon-Embracing Rabbit by the neck, swiped her left hand over the creature’s Dantian, and brutally carved out a golden inner core.

The Moon-Embracing Rabbit let out a piercing scream as two rabbit ears sprouted from her head. Then, unable to maintain her human form any longer, she reverted into a snow-white rabbit in Tan You’s hands.

Having lost her inner core, the Moon-Embracing Rabbit’s cultivation plummeted. She could no longer speak and could only repeatedly bow toward Tan You, begging for her life.

Tan You casually tossed the inner core into the distance. "Wash it clean."

The Heavenly Thunder that had been hovering in the air immediately chased after the inner core, and soon, peals of thunder rumbled from that direction.

Qing Yuan wasn’t a fool. He stared at Tan You. "You did this?"

"Of course it was me," Tan You said, dangling the rabbit by its ears. "I’ve taken back my inner core. And since you’re the one who carved out mine, why don’t you tell me how we should settle the score between us?"

Qing Yuan remained silent, but Tan You had no more patience for conversation. She decisively gouged out his inner core. As he reverted to his original form, Tan You raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you’re about to shed your skin? Perfect. Let me help you with that."

Qing Yuan froze, then began to struggle violently. All snake demons have a period of shedding, during which they cannot receive any external help and must endure it alone. The reason the Purple Ring Snake had been so easily ambushed was precisely because her Seventh Rank Heavenly Tribulation had coincided with her shedding period.

’But now, Tan You is offering to help me through my shedding period. What is she planning to do?’

Qing Yuan’s ominous premonition came true. After ripping out his inner core, Tan You pinched the already-peeling edge of his snakeskin between her fingers and suddenly yanked it down with force.

Qing Yuan’s enormous serpentine body thrashed about, but he could not escape Tan You’s grasp. Her arms looked impossibly slender and delicate, yet they held him down so firmly that he couldn’t even turn over.

Inch by inch, Tan You tore off Qing Yuan’s snakeskin. By the end, what was left on the ground was a gory, massive snake, recognizable only by its shape and nothing else.

Holding the snakeskin, which was dozens of yards long, Tan You beamed. "I’ve helped you out so much. How are you going to thank me?"

Qing Yuan was now too weak to speak. The Moon-Embracing Rabbit rushed forward, kowtowing and bowing frantically to Tan You. For a moment, she actually looked quite devoted.

Tan You’s lips curled. "The way you’re acting, one might think I’m the vicious villain here. But as the saying goes, fail to pull the roots, and the weeds will grow again. So, I’m afraid I’ll just have to send you to your deaths."

As Qing Yuan and the Moon-Embracing Rabbit watched in terror, Tan You finished them off with clean, decisive actions. ’Better to nip any future trouble in the bud than to let it linger.’

Tan You summoned the inner core that the Heavenly Thunder had purified to utter perfection. After absorbing it into her body, she squinted in satisfaction. With a flick of her finger, she sent out a wisp of Spiritual Power, and streams of Spiritual Fire ignited upon the corpses of Qing Yuan and the Moon-Embracing Rabbit.

The Spiritual Fire spread quickly, engulfing the bodies of Qing Yuan and the Moon-Embracing Rabbit. Only after watching them turn to ash did Tan You stretch her limbs in satisfaction.

"Good thing they didn’t have any offspring, or I’d have had to commit more slaughter." ’And I’m such a lover of peace.’ Tossing that line out, Tan You finally left Qing Yuan’s territory, taking the Beauty System and Qing Yuan’s inner core with her.

This incident in the Ten Directions Mountain was a minor affair and didn’t attract the attention of the other powerful figures in the inner circle. In fact, such events were common occurrences in the Ten Directions Mountain.

Those high-rank demon beasts wouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs. As long as the commotion didn’t spill into their own territories, why would they care about some minor squabble happening outside?

"Host, are we going to find a new cave residence?" Having avenged the body’s original owner, the Beauty System was eager to get started. ’My host, of course, deserves to live in the best place possible.’

Tan You happened to share the thought. "Naturally. We need our own cave residence. Before, between Body Refining and just trying to survive, our living conditions were pretty rough."

"Now that our great revenge has been exacted, it’s time for us to start enjoying life."
