Chapter 387 System Upgrade
However, just as Li Xingyun stepped out of the courtyard, Liu Wumei's eyes suddenly opened, and an expression of indescribable embarrassment appeared on her face. At the same time, Liu Ruyan also opened her eyes. Obviously, they had both woken up long ago, but because the scene just now was so embarrassing, they were too embarrassed to open their eyes.
Now that Li Xingyun was gone, the tense atmosphere between them seemed to be instantly ripped apart by an invisible force, and the awkward atmosphere vanished. Liu Wumei's lips trembled slightly, and her voice stuttered. It seemed as if she had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to begin.
Finally, Liu Wumei took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak: "Ruyan... I'm sorry, I..." However, when the words came to her lips, she suddenly hesitated and didn't know how to continue.
Liu Ruyan quietly watched Liu Wumei, who had taken the initiative to admit her mistake, a complex wave of emotions welling up within her. She could still vividly remember Li Xingyun's clearly obsessive state yesterday. Regardless of Liu Wumei's reasons or perspectives for making such a choice, Liu Ruyan felt she had no reason to blame her.
After a moment's silence, Liu Ruyan slowly shook her head and said softly, "It doesn't matter! We are sisters and we don't need to be separated in the future!" Although her tone was calm, the emotions contained in it were extremely sincere.
Now that it had already happened, what was the point in dwelling on the reasons behind it? It would be better to let go of the past, choose to be more carefree, and accept the other person with a tolerant heart. Liu Ruyan thought, after all, they were blood relatives, and the bond of family affection was far stronger than anything else.
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan took a step forward without hesitation, opened her arms, and took the initiative to hug Liu Wumei's slightly petite body. This hug was full of warmth and tolerance, as if telling Liu Wumei that no matter what happened, they would always be the closest people to each other.
Liu Wumei was moved by Liu Ruyan's gesture, and her eyes gradually became moist, tears welling up in them. She hugged Liu Ruyan tightly back, feeling her sister's warmth and love, and the guilt and anxiety in her heart gradually dissipated at this moment.
"Yes! Thank you... Thank you!" Liu Wumei was so touched that tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He then hugged Liu Ruyan tightly and began to slowly explain everything that happened yesterday!
Li Xingyun happily stepped out of the courtyard. His original plan was to visit Yuan Tiangang first and inquire about Ye Xiaoyu's condition. However, just as he was about to take a step forward, a system notification sound that he had ignored last night suddenly rang in his mind.
The notification sounded like a thunderclap, instantly disrupting his plans. Li Xingyun stopped, frowning slightly, and listened carefully to the system's voice.
[Participate in the fight for succession and ultimately ascend to the throne of the Supreme Being! Reward: One system upgrade.]
[The host has completed the fight for the throne and has defeated all competitors. The throne has become inevitable, so the rewards will be distributed in advance! ]
[Host, please choose whether to upgrade the system immediately! ]
A stream of information flooded into Li Xingyun's mind like a torrent, and an indescribable joy welled up in his heart. After a long period of hard work, he had finally successfully completed the task of seizing the throne, and the system upgrade reward had finally arrived!
Li Xingyun took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. As he walked towards the study, he mentally asked the system, "System, what changes will occur after the upgrade?"
[Ding! After the system upgrade, the functions will be more abundant and can better provide services to the host. Please check the specific situation after the host upgrades the system! ]
The system's words left Li Xingyun feeling somewhat frustrated. Although it said the upgrade would bring more features, it didn't specify what the changes would be. It was like handing him an empty box and telling him there was something good inside, but not telling him what it was.
However, according to common sense, the upgraded system must be more powerful than the current one. Li Xingyun thought so in his heart, and still had certain expectations for the performance of the system after the upgrade.
"How long will the upgrade take?" Li Xingyun asked his final question. He needed to know how long the upgrade would take so he could make appropriate arrangements. If the upgrade took a long time, he might need to take additional measures to ensure he could successfully control the entire Shenwu Empire.
[The system upgrade will take 24 hours. During this period, all system functions, including the Eye of Truth and the system space, will be unavailable! Please prepare in advance!]
The system's answer made Li Xingyun breathe a sigh of relief. Twenty-four hours, or one day, wasn't too long. He tapped his fingers twice on the desk, pondering what to do next.
Then, Li Xingyun waved his hand, and a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, and spirit beads flowed out from the system space like water, piling up in front of the desk. These riches were accumulated during his past adventures, and now they could be put to good use.
"System! Upgrade!" Li Xingyun stood in the middle of the room, staring at the void in front of him, and said softly.
[Ding! System upgrade begins, remaining time: 23:59:59!]
As the system's cold, mechanical voice echoed, Li Xingyun felt a surge of anticipation. He knew this system upgrade would bring him even more abilities and surprises.
However, when the system's last announcement ended, the entire room suddenly fell into a dead silence. The system no longer made any sound, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
Li Xingyun's heart tightened. He immediately tried to communicate with the system, but found that he had completely lost his perception of the system space. Not only that, even his powerful Eye of Truth could not be opened, as if it was sealed by an invisible force.
"I'm really not used to it!" Li Xingyun smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had become accustomed to the existence of the system, and suddenly losing its help made him feel a little lost.
However, Li Xingyun didn't dwell on it too much. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then turned his gaze to the spirit bead left on the table.
Just as Li Xingyun was about to pick up the spirit bead to play with it carefully, suddenly, he seemed to remember something important and his face changed abruptly.
"Damn it! I forgot to take out those lucky draws from the Painting Jianghu series!" Li Xingyun slapped his forehead in annoyance, his face full of regret.
