I Know What You're Up To, Miss!

Thinking of her as the disciple of Lord Xiaoyao, Yuezheng Yan curiously asked, "May I know what your Cultivation Level is, Senior Sister?"

"Peak of Qi Refining," Lu Xingyan said, lifting her hand to touch the tip of her nose.

Yuezheng Yan, who had thought she was at least at Golden Core, "..."

Well, that's all right, he didn't follow her to Xiaoyao Peak for the sake of cultivation anyway.

The Big Goose was very fast, and before the two had much time to talk, it breezed through the thick green mist, set them down, returned to its original form, and waddled into the woods.

This was a spot near the summit of Xiaoyao Peak. Where they landed was surrounded by wild grass and shrubs. Lu Xingyan used her sword to part the weeds and walked about a hundred meters until she reached a flat area.

It was at the base of a cliff with a small waterfall descending, forming a mountain stream that wound around the cliff into a river about ten meters wide.

With a light tap of her toe, Lu Xingyan jumped to the opposite bank of the mountain river.

She turned back to look at the person trapped on the other side and cleared her throat, "Junior Brother, you just need to find a way to jump over. Master said that this is to train our physical abilities in all aspects of life."

"Master's training methods are indeed marvelous," Yuezheng Yan praised, despite the numerous thoughts running through his head.

He was at the first stage of Qi Refining right now, and though it's called the first stage, in the cultivation world it was just attracting Qi into the body.

He couldn't even cast a spell, let alone jump ten meters; he couldn't manage even five meters.

Lu Xingyan felt a little awkward being praised by this villain.

[I can't very well say that Xiaoyao Peak is like a primeval forest because the big lazy bullies the small lazy, and the small lazy chooses to give up, can I?]

[Master doesn't need a bridge with his Cultivation Level, and when I was a child, I could get across just by using a bamboo pole.]

[So what's the point of building a bridge? It's a waste of time, better to practice swordsmanship.]

Once again silenced by Lu Xingyan's Heart's Voice, Yuezheng Yan silently found a bamboo pole.

There were six small Immortal's Caves in a row on the cliffside.

Lu Xingyan pointed to the three on the left near the woods, "Junior Brother, these three are mine. The remaining three are yours. Master lives at the peak of Xiaoyao Peak and doesn't stay with us. Let me know if you need to arrange anything, I can help."

[Although Senior Sister can only offer second-hand items that she has used herself, having them is better than nothing.]

"Thank you, Senior Sister," said Yuezheng Yan, bowing and following the direction Lu Xingyan pointed.

[Wuuuuu, the host is doomed! Utterly doomed ahhhhh——]

The system, which had been silent all this while, suddenly burst into a stream of sobbing.

[Yo, you're finally paying attention to me. What were you doing just now? When I spoke to you, you didn't make a sound,] Lu Xingyan asked.

[Host, wasn't our mission to prevent Yuezheng Yan from blackening? So as soon as you got close to him, I started to check his Blackening Value to observe the progress of the blackening in real-time.]

[The result is that his current Blackening Value made me crash, and I just went back to Headquarters for repairs.]

[So, how much is his Blackening Value that it could crash you? Let me guess, surely not 99, right?]

Upon hearing this, System 666 cried even louder.

[If it were only 99, that would be fine. His current Blackening Value is 20 million!]

[So much!] Lu Xingyan was so shocked that her accent changed.

[Twenty million, twenty million, what should I do? Wuuuuu, I feel like I'm going to explode, I'm about to die, wuuuuu.]

[Twenty million, it's as black as it can get, how can it ever be cleansed, wuuuuu.]

Lu Xingyan was also stunned.

She thought it was troublesome enough that the five-year-old milk baby turned into a fifteen-year-old teenager.

She had assumed that since she had intercepted the plot of Jiuxiao Peak before it even began, the mission to prevent blackening would certainly be easier.

But now, the system announced the great news of a twenty million Blackening Value.

[Wuuuuu, host, you must think of a way quickly. If we can't complete this mission, I will die! If I die, you won't be able to get the Spiritual Liquid to enhance your Spiritual Root Aptitude, wuuuuu——]
