Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
A Talisman to Catch a Rat

Yi Hua throws stones in his hand to relieve boredom. Now he is in the palace yard owned by the Crown Prince. With his nonsense about clearing energy, he was caught in ignorance.

He simply scattered some strange talisman paper around the Crown Prince's residence. Yi Hua retrieved it inside the talisman storage box in the treatment room. However, because he was lazy to read, he did not know the function of the talisman paper.

When he put it up, he realized that the talisman was inscribed with a rat antidote talisman. He intended to go back to the room again to pick up another talisman, but it turned out that the room was no longer empty. Shame on him if he gets caught taking the amulet wrong. Moreover, the name is already very famous like the name of the cow in circulation.

As a result of having no other choice, Yi Hua installed the rat antidote talisman around the Crown Prince's residence. But he did another trick to save his face. He asked the servants to prevent anyone interfering with his cleaning ceremony. So no one knew that Yi Hua instead of eradicating the evil energy, but instead eradicated the rats.

This Yi Hua is really a fake fortune teller. There was not even a single bit around it that was a spiritual weapon. So, all this time Yi Hua just spread nonsense without any proof. How did he get into the ranks of the Royal Astrologer?

Then, ...

It's a little annoying, but realistic. How could he overcome something as great as this without having any ability?

He doesn't even have the slightest vision. Let alone the bad energy, the uncomfortable feeling just did not cross by his side. He's in a very comfortable state now. He almost fell asleep hugging the tree. If only she was given a blanket, then Yi Hua would sleep until tomorrow. Or, even if a cow greeted him now Yi Hua would not be surprised by the wonder of the world.

His life is far more magical than a talking cow. In the end, Yi Hua could only throw stones to dispel boredom. He might give King Li Shen another bullshit report. There was at least something more useless than Yi Hua.

“That's because there's nothing here. The Li Kingdom is indeed surrounded by a lot of bad energy, but the Crown Prince's illness is not because of it,” Xiao said breaking the silence. Finally there was a speck of sound among the silence in the quiet night*.

^^^*Fyi, silence on a quiet night here certainly takes in one of the verses in Chairil Anwar's poem, Dusk in Pelabuhan Kecil. It was like showing a silence that was much deeper than quiet. It was a kind of perception that being quiet and silent were two words of different meaning.^^^

Yi Hua's hand stopped throwing, “Why not tell from earlier?”

Yi Hua sat himself in the palace courtyard. He did not care about his white clothes, and refused to think about how he would wash them later. But there are some things that still burden his brain until now.

“Why is the Li Kingdom filled with bad energy? Is anyone doing demonic martial arts in the Li Kingdom?” asked Yi Hua curiously.

Actually, this deviates from his case. Because, Xiao said that the thing experienced by the Crown Prince was not because of bad energy. Unless there's something 'other' in it. Yet Yi Hua was quite curious about all the peculiarities in this Li Kingdom.

Even for divining about the taboo, Yi Hua was about to be executed. He had to anticipate whatever was taboo in this Li Kingdom. Or, he will never be able to rise from what is called misfortune.

Must be because of my luck at night by the cow.

Xiao clucked, “This is all because the Li Kingdom is indeed surrounded by such people.”

Is there anything like that too?

"What does it mean to be surrounded?"

“Remember this well. This can be a lesson for you when inside Yi Hua's body. In the Li Kingdom, there were five sinners that were bad news. They are the ones who make such a terrible mistake that even the gods hate them."

Yi Hua frowned, "Is that just a rumor? What if these five sinners never really existed?"

"Eitherway. Where do I know! The point is the first sinner I'm going to explain. It's because he's related to you. The first one is the one you foresee, the Black Princess of Li Kingdom, Li Wei,” Xiao explained at length, but with a distinctive lazy tone.

“What makes her a Black Princess?”

“Li Wei made a mistake and brought disaster to the Li Kingdom. After him, slitting his own throat, the Li Kingdom was freed from that calamity. You should have been executed sooner for foretelling about Li Wei, but somehow you were suddenly given time.”

What wind was there until this Yi Hua foresaw something that could become his own death sword? More stupid than anything else was why did Yi Hua convey it to the public?

Isn't that like finding the cause of death itself? Is it possible just because Yi Hua wants to look for face?

It could be that Yi Hua wanted to look for face, but she was definitely not stupid and was afraid of death. He wouldn't take such a big risk just to be praised. After all, if Yi Hua was a person of the Li Kingdom, then she would have already known that this Black Princess was a taboo.

Yi Hua squeezed her hair as it digested the information. Until now he still could not understand about this Yi Hua. What a person from the outside looks very simple, but being him will be more difficult than just insulting him. In fact, things didn't go easy.

“The other one I'm lazy to explain. Because this may have nothing to do with you. Besides, I'm sure your narrow brain won't be able to hold it. But I will explain to you about the most feared sinner in the entire human land and the demon land. He is the one who has the power of the devil tree. This demon tree can pollute the human heart, but it functions just like you. He could form a demon core faster. This figure should be the last person you want to offend. Well, if you really want to die fast, please.”

Yi Hua suddenly felt a little curious about this great sinner.

"Who is he?"

"Yifeng Hua. He was the owner of the Demon Kingdom in Mount Hua. No one knows much about him. Many say that he 'came' just like that. But that's impossible, isn't it?" clearly Xiao with a bit of spirit. It seemed that Xiao was very happy when explaining about this Hua Yifeng.

"Did the name 'Hua' appear because he was the owner of the Demon Kingdom in Hua Mountain?" guess Yi Hua straight away.

“TENG. Right!" respond to Xiao vigorously as if he was a huge fan of Hua Yifeng.

Yi Hua raised his hand, “Then, why is he called a sinner?"

"He was called a sinner because he had killed almost the entire Li Royal family."

DEG

Hey this is no small matter anymore! He deserves to be a very feared man. A royal family is a highly respected figure. Even his King alone might be worshipped almost like a God. So it is fitting that Hua Yifeng is hated by the Gods.

"So, the present Royal family is not a descendant of the former family?"

"No. It was still the same derivative as the Black Princess. Didn't you hear this 'almost' word? There's still something left."

"Don't tell me if it's King Li, Li Shen?

Xiao clapped his own hands as Yi Hua answered correctly.

"really. Only Li Shen alone remained. Somehow Hua Yifeng left Li Shen alone. No one knew or understood until now. But this demon man was most feared. No one dared to bother him, not even the other demons. Hence no one dared to snatch the demon tree from Hua Yifeng's hands."

"What if Hua Yifeng dies?”

If the tree was the same as the furnace within him, then there was a chance that the power there could overflow. Hua Yifeng probably took a lot of power from the tree and controlled it. However, if Hua Yifeng, 'if' could not control it anymore ... Is ...

“Then, what do you mean by bad energy not being here? Wasn't there a possibility if Hua Yifeng wanted to eliminate the Li Royal family again? Like killing his Crown Prince. Moreover, the bad energy can even penetrate reality, when attacked through a dream. Only demons with great power can do it."

“Looks like your brain isn't working well! It was because it was not attacked through a dream," Xiao explained lazily.

Why should she partner with someone who always thinks badly of her?

"You should have given me a better job. When I'm on the verge between death and life, you should have given me a good life choice. Like being reborn into a princess or something."

Xiao yawned, "What if you become a cow? At least you can wander around and be famous."

"What's that empty muzzle are you talking about?" yi Hua asked exasperatedly. Why does this rotten system always refer to cows everywhere?

Suddenly Yi Hua thought of something quite strange. Although he could not conclude it well.

"Is there really anyone else who has the fate of being reborn like me?" asked Yi Hua curiously.

"There certainly is."

Huh uh? Is this serious?

"I've heard of a reader who gets into a novel just for calling it 'junk'. Then, he had to go through a role that he didn't really want to do. I just heard it, though I don't know if it's true or not."

Is there anything like that too? What a world of color.

"What if I call this Xiao System trash, then you can take me to another world instead of this?" ask Yi Hua.

"Don't ask too many questions! I told you I don't know the truth either. It's just that this world is vast, HuaHua. Don't ever think you know everything. There are times when something is implied to live in this world."

They seem to have spoken too much. Instead of talking about the Crown Prince's illness, they discussed other stories instead. I don't know maybe they just spend their free time bouncing.

This is the best way to waste time more wisely. Remember that! It's a moral message.

But more than anything ...

"All I can tell you is that none of this has anything to do with Hua Yifeng. So never put your nose to that horrible evil affair."

I don't know why they kept talking about the figure that Yi Hua had never seen. Even they were talking about something that they should not dare to talk about.

Above everything ....

Just because there is such a mystical thing that looks great, a potential person is always suspected. Speaking of demons, the culprit must be the devil. But often people you don't realize can be perpetrators.

"But all of this is a little strange. If there was indeed bad energy around the Li Kingdom, it was not just the Crown Prince who was possessed or disturbed. All the weak will be disturbed. Especially if it was indeed a great demonic power. The waiter will definitely be exposed to interference, such as illness or even getting the grip," Yi Hua said guessing. Something rotten was smelling everywhere.

However, Yi Hua did not hear any news of the death or the maid being sick or bullied. No interference with others. Only the Crown Prince alone was bothered by this bad energy.

Anyway, ... The grip looks very similar to ...

BRACKET

Not yet had Yi Hua thought at length, a buzzing sound rang out from within the Crown Prince's residence. The voice was followed by the crying voice of a girl, whom Yi Hua recognized her voice.

It was Zi Si!

Was Zi Si now also bothered with this bad energy?

Yi Hua got up from a miserable seat, and ran towards the residence. He went through some waiters who lined up there. They were special servants to serve the Crown Prince.

But that's not the point.

Yi Hua managed to flick through the crowd of servants only to see Zi Si lying on the floor. On the back of his left leg was a very deep scratch. Its depth was like five knives being scratched together there.

Zi Si's blood seemed to be splattered everywhere. However, the other servants did not intend to help Zi Si. Maybe they were terrified, or unwilling to put their faces in this commotion.

"What's going on?"

Zi Si pointed at the empty bed. It made Yi Hua feel panicked by herself. Because someone who should be lying there does not exist. Though the Crown Prince is seriously ill, and will not be able to move just like that.

He disappeared.

It's getting worse!
