The system then stepped forward and pulled her up from the ground. It raised Pei Ling’s hand to pull off her veil hat, revealing a soft and beautiful face with snow-white skin and lips. At the moment, the brows expressed great shock.

Holy shit!

She collapsed just like that??

Pei Ling thought that he would be killed with a single slap, but who knew that the system would succeed in one hit.

However, that was not the main point. The main point was…

“System, what the f*ck are you doing???” He did not know whether the system was crazy or not. In any case, he was about to go crazy himself. How did Pei Xuan introduce this Fairy Li some time ago?

She was expected to be the next Saintess of the Deep Sea Sect!

A Saintess!

Was that something he could even touch???

Wu Tingxi only had a cultivation technique jade slip, and it was his master’s belonging, and he had died without a complete corpse.

If he touched the next Saintess of the Deep Sea Sect, how many portions of his ashes should be scattered?

Wait, could he even have ashes?

“Ding Dong!” Like before, the system did not care about the host’s emotions at all. Immediately, it gave a notification. “Dao Partner has been gifted. Continuing cultivation now…”

At this moment, he was in despair.

Can I even keep my identity as a steady slacker after this???

Zheng Jingshan hurriedly returned to the Pei family’s residence. He went to the main hall to find Pei Xuan. “Have you found Wu Tingxi? Where is he? Where’s the stuff?”

“Fellow Daoist Zheng, don’t be anxious.” Pei Xuan was talking to a woman. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly gave the woman a look and stood up to welcome him with a smile. He explained, “Wu Tingxi is already dead. As for the items, according to my family’s disciple, Fairy Li personally went to retrieve them.”

He was afraid that Zheng Jingshan would forget his previous promise. “It’s just that after Fairy Li returned, she entered the Green Parasol Compound directly but did not mention the Bone Tempering Pill…”

“Here are the 50 Bone Tempering Pills.” Upon hearing this, Zheng Jingshan casually threw out a jade bottle and said, “I’m going to visit Senior Sister.”

He turned around and left in a flash.

“Family Head, these were all obtained by Pei Ling.” That woman’s eyes darted around as she hurriedly walked over to remind him, “Don’t forget to allocate more to my Tu’er when distributing it.”

Pei Xuan kept the jade bottle and snorted. “Since you mentioned Pei Ling, I called you here to talk about this. How have you been teaching this child all these years? At the crucial moment, he didn’t even think about the family clan! He only has one more chance to meet the guests. Go tell him so that he won’t think about only himself and think about the family clan more! He’s a disciple of the Pei family. Won’t it be good for him if the clan grows stronger?”

The woman was Pei Ling’s stepmother. Her eyes brightened. “Are you rewarding Pei Ling?”

“I don’t know about that.” Pei Xuan said indifferently, “As a dignified family head, can I still covet the possession of a junior?”

“I understand.” The woman gave a cold laugh and said, “Don’t worry, Family Head. If Pei Ling hides anything in private, I’ll teach that child to be sensible. It’s just that, after all my hard work, my Tu-er…”

Pei Xuan nodded. “I’ll get Hongnian to guide him more.”

While they were discussing, Zheng Jingshan had already returned to the Jade Parasol Compound. He first went to the back to find his Senior Sister. However, before he approached, he heard the urgent ringing of the wind chime under the temple. The sound waves traveled around, and Zheng Jingshan could not help but feel dizzy. He knew how powerful his senior sister’s intrinsic magic weapon was, so he did not dare to approach her. He only bowed from afar and said, “Senior sister?”

After a moment, there was no response from the temple. Instead, the skulls on the wind chime were getting more and more agitated, while the souls within wandered around restlessly.

Zheng Jingshan forced himself to hold on. He felt uncomfortable in his chest and felt like vomiting blood. He could not take it anymore. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I will take my leave for now. I will listen to my Senior Sister’s instructions later.”

He retreated to the back and away from the temple. He finally caught his breath and returned to his room.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he felt that something was amiss. The door was wide open?

As his senior sister did not like to be disturbed, he drove all the servants away when he first arrived at the Jade Parasol Compound. He only told them to tidy up the courtyard after he left. As for the rooms, they were not allowed to enter.

No one in the Pei family would dare to disobey his orders.

When he left earlier, he had clearly closed the door. Why was it opened now?

Zheng Jingshan became suspicious and went on guard. He formed a hand seal before slowly entering the temple. However, as soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed by a putrid smell.

He didn’t dare hesitate and quickly checked around. After confirming that there was no one, he then carefully looked at the place that emitted the strange smell.

With Zheng Jingshan’s experience, he quickly recognized that it was left behind by someone who cultivated in his room and had broken through a minor realm. He could not help but fly into a fury!

He then asked the Rakshasa Painting, “Who intruded my room while I was not around?”

The hundreds of beauties in the Scarlet Bone Rakshasa Painting covered their mouths and chuckled. For a moment, the room was filled with giggling sounds that seemed to be coming from afar, and also seemed real yet illusory… Nevertheless, Zheng Jingshan listened carefully and nodded. After a moment, he revealed a contorted expression. “A mere kid of the Pei family dares to be so presumptuous! It’s too easy on him to become a blood sacrifice! Just you wait, I will skin him right now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t be bothered to rest and left furiously.

On the other side, in the backyard of the Green Parasol Compound. Perhaps because of the nameless cultivation method, Pei Ling’s mind and body poured into training despite his initial fear.

At the same time, a strange power was continuously infused into his limbs and bones. Not only did his injuries from the fight with Wu Tingxi heal rapidly, and even the third level of Qi Refinement that he had just broken through was also rapidly growing.

After a while, the wind chime outside gradually became softer. Meanwhile, a “ding-dong” finally sounded in Pei Ling’s ear. “This cultivation has been completed. Thank you for using the Smart Cultivation System. With a single click, you will ascend without any worries! I look forward to you sharing the cultivation evaluation. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star rating!”

He instantly regained control of his body and returned to his senses from his cultivation.

“…”

Run!

Immediately! Now!

However, at this moment, there was a series of footsteps from the outside, followed by Zheng Jingshan’s voice. “My greetings Senior Sister. Pei Ling from the Pei family’s collateral branch had the nerves to sneak into my room while I was out. This person has already fled from his crimes… If you don’t have any instructions, I plan to go personally and skin him alive to warn the others!”

Oh for f*ck sake..
