Why is My System Glitching

Willow circled him like a wraith, her ethereal form floating effortlessly in the air. Her icy palm brushed against Lordi Payne's cheek, the touch deceptively tender, like a lover's caress. Her voice, soft and melodic, carried a dangerous undertone as she cooed, "What does Young sir wish to ask? Remember, you get one question. Just one. If you ask more... well, I might get annoyed."

She leaned in closer, her dark, hollow eyes narrowing as an eerie grin spread across her face. "And kind young sir, you wouldn't want me annoyed, would you?"

Lordi Payne's mind raced, but he didn't hesitate. He blurted out, "Lady Willow, I need to know how to quickly earn tens of thousands of spirit stones!"

"Tens of thousands?" Willow's laughter bubbled up, light and airy, as if the idea amused her to no end. "For such a trivial amount, why trouble yourself? Just ask Mistress for it!"

Lordi Payne, "... ", his expression faltered.

Willow tilted her head, her grin widening. "Or," she continued, her tone dripping with innocence, "you could slaughter an entire city and loot it. That should cover your needs, don't you think?"

Lordi Payne's silence was answer enough.

She wasn't done. "Oh, I know!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together like a delighted child. "Kill that girl you've been flirting with these past few days. Skin her for me, and I'll even lend a hand. How's that for a solution?"

Lordi Payne's face stiffened. "Lady Willow, you're kidding me," he replied, his voice tight. The thought of asking Fairy Lith for spirit stones was laughable—she'd likely kill him on the spot. Slaughtering a city? That was the work of a true demon, not a fourth-layer Qi Refinement cultivator like him. And skinning Chen Mave?

He straightened, his tone serious. "Senior Brother Chen and Senior Sister Chen have been kind to me. How could I repay their kindness with betrayal?"

"Kind?" Willow's laughter returned, but this time it carried a strange, almost mocking edge. Her dark eyes gleamed with an odd light as she giggled. "Oh, of course, that makes sense. Well, then, figure it out yourself."
