I Raised the Amnesiac Empress Into a Clingy Little Sweetheart - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Ancestral Tomb Holy Land 

Azure Spirit Continent.

Eastern Region.

“System, I’m going in… I’m really going in, okay…”

On the rear mountain of the Frozen Abyss Holy Land, a pitch-black spatial rift had appeared there without warning. Su Bai stood in front of it, his hands hovering on both sides as if bracing himself, his face full of hesitation.

[…If you’re going in, hurry up. Stop dawdling. You only have ten minutes.]

The moment those words fell, Su Bai’s expression changed slightly.

“No, why didn’t you say earlier that I only had ten minutes… damn it…”

…

Forbidden ground of the Frozen Abyss Holy Land, the Ancestral Tomb.

“Hiss…”

“System, isn’t this spatial rift a little too tight? Why does it hurt so much…”

[…]

Su Bai lightly patted his forehead. His head was still buzzing. A smell of rotting wood mixed with the faint earthy scent of soil rushed into his nose. He instinctively frowned, then raised his eyes and looked around.

In the dim surroundings, sandalwood coffins were arranged neatly in rows. At a glance, there seemed to be no end to them, like a vast sea of coffins.

“Gulp…” Su Bai’s throat moved slightly. He gave a dry laugh and murmured, “System… how about we forget it? Opening someone else’s coffin… that kind of thing shortens one’s lifespan.”

[Sigh… As a veteran system, you are truly the worst host this system has ever guided! You’ve had a cheat for half a year, yet you still haven’t achieved anything.]

Hearing the faint disdain in the voice inside his heart, Su Bai immediately refused to accept it. He crossed his arms and gave a soft snort.

“When other people transmigrate with a system, they either get a Saint Body right at the start or receive cultivation techniques and weapons. At the very least, they get some kind of huge beginner reward.”

“But look at you. You call yourself the Everything Can Be Exchanged System. It sounds so powerful, but in the end, I started with zero cultivation, and all my equipment depends on stealing… bah, borrowing!”

“And last month, I finally managed to steal… borrow Old Wang from next door’s aphrodisiac pill to exchange with you. And what the hell did you give me in return?! The latest model of a gravestone?!”

At this point, Su Bai was so angry that he laughed. The corner of his mouth twitched faintly.

“Forget that part. You even explained to me that an aphrodisiac pill only has a temporary effect, while that thing could provide long-term training.”

“Although I don’t disagree with your reasoning, what kind of place is this? This is the cultivation world! What use is that thing to me here? Don’t you know which head matters more…”

“…Huh?”

Just as he was speaking with great enthusiasm, the corner of Su Bai’s eye swept casually to the side. In the next instant, his entire body jolted in fright.

“Holy shit! The coffins… the coffins are glowing!”

Within that sea of coffins, more than a hundred coffin lids lit up with a faint green glow, and most of them were close to Su Bai.

[Xiao Bai, run! Run toward the ice coffin in the center! Hurry! If you don’t run now, it’ll be too late!]

The system, which had stayed silent through all of Su Bai’s complaints, suddenly rang out in his mind. Its voice carried a trace of urgency, as well as… excitement!

Su Bai forcefully stopped his retreating steps and looked toward the central area of the coffin sea. There stood ten coffins. Nine coffins as black as ink surrounded a transparent ice coffin, as though they were guarding it.

From afar, he could vaguely see a graceful figure lying quietly inside the ice coffin.

At that moment, the green light above the hundred or so coffins gathered together, gradually forming human figures that looked toward Su Bai. Their dark eyes shimmered with faint green light, seemingly carrying a trace of excitement.

“No… are the ancestors showing their spirits?”

[In a certain sense, yes. You awakened the sliver of consciousness left in their sleep. Once they fully wake, they will instinctively try to possess your body.]

Su Bai fell silent.

Wait. They got so excited at the mention of a gravestone that they climbed out of their coffins?

Could it be that even after dying, they still wanted one more round?

After half a breath of silence, Su Bai lifted his legs and sprinted with all his might, cursing as he ran.

“To hell with you ancestors! I joined the Holy Land yesterday with a sincere and devout heart. Today, I only came to borrow a few things from you, yet you’re actually thinking of possessing me?”

“Does your conscience not hurt at all?!”

Behind him, more than a hundred dark-green shadows chased after him. Their illusory faces twitched faintly, and almost the same thought surfaced in all their minds at once.

Who recruited this wicked brat?

How the hell was this sincerely joining the Holy Land? He had clearly come here to dig graves!

Unfortunately, with the system’s reminder, Su Bai had started running toward the ice coffin in the central area early. By the time the shadows behind him fully awakened, they could no longer catch up. They could only stare helplessly at him from 100 meters away from the ice coffin.

“Come on, come on. Come over here.”

Su Bai stood within 100 meters of the ice coffin. He crossed his arms and sneered, “A bunch of undying old… no, a bunch of dead things. You think you can possess me? What level are you even at?”

A hundred meters away, the shadows looked as if they were about to explode. Green flames burned all over their bodies as they stared viciously at Su Bai.

At this moment, they deeply doubted whether this fellow was truly a disciple of the Frozen Abyss Holy Land. It was one thing for him to have no reverence for them at all, but he even dared to say such outrageously disrespectful words!

They were furious, but at this moment, they could only endure it, all because of that ice coffin.

They did not dare step even half a pace within 100 meters of it. Even the nine black coffins surrounding the ice coffin were placed 50 meters away, not daring to cross the boundary in the slightest.

After cursing a few more times to vent his anger, Su Bai waved his sleeve and turned away with domineering flair in front of the gathered shadows.

“System, what should I do now?”

A while later, the system’s voice sounded in Su Bai’s mind again, carrying a hint of praise.

[Not bad, not bad. As expected of the person this system chose. Just based on that courage alone, this system will protect you for sure.]

“Huh?”

Su Bai’s steps paused. The smile on his face gradually stiffened, and an ominous feeling suddenly rose in his heart. His voice turned rigid as he muttered, “Wh-what do you mean?”

[It’s nothing serious. At most, those things outside will sacrifice their final sliver of consciousness, gather together, and complain to the people outside.]

Su Bai went silent. His face instantly froze with embarrassment. He stiffly turned his head back, forcing a smile that did not reach his eyes.

“My beloved ancestors, do you know who I am?”

The shadows did not answer. They gathered together, faintly showing signs of merging. Just as the system had said, they were preparing to complain to the people outside.

Su Bai’s face immediately darkened. However, when he remembered that he had only joined the Holy Land yesterday, so there definitely were not many people who knew him, his confidence instantly returned. His face filled with disdain.

“A bunch of old things who are neither human nor ghost. You’ve been dead for who knows how many years, yet you still act like little brats running to your parents to complain.”

“Only I would spoil you this much. Remember this well. Your grandfather’s name is Song Yi! I just joined the Holy Land yesterday. I set myself a small goal. Today, I’ll be a servant disciple. Tomorrow, I’ll be the Holy Lord.”

After saying that, Su Bai stylishly waved his sleeve and strode toward the ice coffin.

Behind him, the crowd of shadows gradually condensed into one solid figure. It had no facial features, but its twisted face was enough to reveal their fury.

Wicked brat!!

Even if they had to exhaust their last trace of consciousness and lose all chance of revival, they would kill this wicked brat called Song Yi!

The corner of Su Bai’s mouth lifted slightly. He snorted softly. Even without looking back, he knew they had to be furious right now.

But… what did the things Song Yi did have to do with him, Su Bai?
