Eastern part of the Blue Star continent.
Fallen City.
The winter sky is covered in snow, with snowflakes falling all around.
A bonfire was lit inside a cramped house in Luo Family Manor to make the air less pungent.
The grandfather and grandson ate roasted sweet potatoes while warming themselves by the fire.
Master Luo sighed deeply, "Xing'er."
"There have been some rumors about you lately, saying... you've become a simp? You're always pestering that Miss Zhao?"
"Grandpa, I have to remind you, your three-year agreement with Feng'er is due next month."
“Feng’er has already reached the Spirit Realm. Grandpa doesn’t expect you to actually defeat her, he only hopes that you can save your life when the time comes.”
As he spoke, he let out another long sigh, his hair turning white with worry over this matter.
Across from them, a handsome young man with silver hair sat cross-legged on the ground, eating roasted sweet potatoes and drinking tea, seemingly without any worries.
His name is Luo Xing, he is twenty years old, and he just transmigrated into this body with the same name a few days ago.
After understanding the situation, Luo Xing was also quite helpless. Damn it! This is just too damn bad!
The original owner of this body was considered a genius when he was young, so he was a good match for the Feng family. However, three years ago, his cultivation level suddenly dropped significantly.
He dropped directly from the second level of the Spirit Martial Realm to the seventh level of the Martial Warrior Realm. After that, some people spread rumors that this was actually Luo Xing's true cultivation level, and that he had only been forcibly improved by drugs before.
For this reason, the Feng family even came to the door to cancel the engagement, and Feng Qing'er ruthlessly threw the marriage certificate in Master Luo's face!
Back then, Luo Xing was quite ambitious and arrogant. Could he tolerate this? Fortune changes every thirty years!
He wrote a letter of divorce on the spot!
"Take a good look at Feng Qing'er, it's not you who's breaking off the engagement, it's me who's divorcing you!"
Enraged, Feng Qing'er drew her sword in response!
"Luo Xing! If you're a man, fight me!"
"Come on! So what if I, Luo Xing, am just a martial artist! So what if you're a spiritual martial artist!"
"Luo Xing! I won't lie to you. I'll be waiting for your battle in three years!!"
...
Three years have passed, and to this day, Luo Xing has only advanced from the seventh level of martial artist to the eighth level.
In Meteor City, anyone who is not yet at the Spirit Martial Realm by the age of twenty is basically considered ruined for life...
A hundred years ago, spiritual energy began to resurface on this continent, and people gradually discovered that they could cultivate, eventually developing realms, techniques, and so on...
The cultivation realms progress from Martial Artist, Spiritual Martial Artist, Spiritual Connection, Returning to Origin, Entering the Core, Gathering...
Because the spiritual energy revival has only lasted for a century, it is said that the highest level attained is only at the Core Formation stage...
Of course, that's still too far off...
As for the claim that he's been pestering Miss Zhao lately, that's just a rumor!
Because just a few days ago, the 10,000x return system was activated.
The system stipulates that you need to find a beautiful woman with an appearance rating of four stars or higher to bind with. After binding, you can receive various resources.
The higher the star rating of the beautiful woman, the more generous the rewards returned by the system after gifting her.
After searching high and low, they finally found Zhao Zhu, the street belle of Yuncheng Commercial Street.
Rating: Four stars!
Return multiplier: 10 times!
What's troubling Luo Xing now is that he's penniless. Although he owns a shop on the commercial street, business is terrible, and he can't make ends meet.
If it weren't for the supplies from the Luo family, they probably would have starved to death long ago, and where would they have gotten the money to give gifts?
Yesterday, I arranged to meet Zhao Zhu when she was passing by, thinking I could bring her something, but Luo Xing searched the whole house and found nothing of value.
He sat by the fire, lost in thought.
At this moment, Master Luo took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Luo Xing.
"Xing'er, these are ten Spirit Gathering Pills that I, your grandfather, painstakingly obtained. They're enough to help you advance several levels."
"Remember! Never give it to anyone else! Never!"
"Absolutely! Absolutely!"
If his grandson were to give away the pills that he, Lao Luo, had almost risked his life to obtain, he would probably die of anger on the spot!
Although the Luo family manor is a family of alchemists, this branch of the family, led by Luo Xing, has gradually declined and lost resources due to the events of three years ago. Furthermore, Luo Xing's limited alchemy skills have an extremely low success rate...
Therefore, this bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill is the key to Luo Xing's breakthrough. As long as he enters the Spirit Martial Realm, he can at least save his life, right?
What worries Master Luo the most is Zhao Zhu. What if his grandson becomes a sycophant and gives away the elixir to her...?
No, no, how could my own grandson be a sycophant?
Master Luo prayed silently.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, how could your grandson do anything foolish?"
“Grandpa went through a lot of trouble to get this, how could his grandson do such a stupid thing?”
"Haha, that's good, that's good..."
Luo Xing estimated the time; Zhao Zhu should have arrived by now...
......
Not far from the gate, Zhao Zhuzheng arrived in a carriage with his younger sister.
I was originally too lazy to pay attention to Luo Xing, but since I was going to Shangdongting for tea and happened to pass by, and he said he was giving me something, I decided to give him a little face.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Zhu, with her long hair flowing and dressed in bamboo green, was tall and slender with eyes that seemed to sparkle—a true queen!
Luo Xing was immediately captivated by her beauty; she was just as stunning as any celebrity in the world!
The younger sister next to her was adorable, with a stunning figure and voluptuous breasts.
Although her face wasn't as pretty, her figure was more prominent than Zhao Zhu's.
"Sis, why do you have to come see him?"
"Luo Xing is nothing in the Luo family. If you ask me, we should leave quickly."
Zhao Zhu smiled faintly, "Little sister, since you've already promised to come, there's no reason to go back on your word."
"Hmph! Then you can go by yourself, I'll stay in the car."
"Okay, wait a moment."
...
In her heart, the younger sister cursed inwardly, "Isn't it all because Luo Xing said he wanted to give me a gift? Humph! Bitch!"
Although Zhao Zhu was beautiful, she only worked odd jobs in a store on the commercial street of Yuncheng. Her monthly salary was pitifully low, and her cultivation level was only at the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
Although Luo Xing was not highly regarded within the family, his background was still much better than Zhao Zhu's.
Zhao Zhu strode towards Luomen, feeling somewhat uneasy...
Luo Xing has been pestering me these past few days. I don't think I'd come to see him, give him a few things, and then confess my feelings!
If that's the case, this man is going way too far!
It's just a small gift; I can just say thank you!
I've already said thank you, what more do you want from me!
As he approached the door, Luo Xing was already waiting there.
The two greeted each other with polite courtesy. "Fairy, you are as beautiful as ever today."
"Young Master Luo is too kind. What brings you here today?"
As he spoke, the expectant look in his eyes was almost bursting out, as if he was about to say: What good stuff is it! Quick! Bring it here!
Luo Xing gazed at him intently, then smiled slightly and pulled out the bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills from his waist.
"Fairy, I have obtained a pill by chance and would like to give it to you. Please do not find it offensive."
Zhao Zhu took the pill and was taken aback. He recognized it as the Spirit Gathering Pill at a glance!
Still... ten, ten!
That's more than her entire year's salary!
Zhao Zhu was in the process of breaking through to the next level, and what she needed most was this Spirit Gathering Pill, but how could she afford it with her meager salary?
I never expected that Luo Xing, a down-on-his-luck young master, would be so generous...
"this..."
"I can't accept this, it's too precious, Young Master Luo, I can't take it."
Luo Xing smiled faintly, "It's alright, Fairy, please take it."
"This elixir is worth giving to the fairy."
Although she said no, Zhao Zhu had already firmly grasped it in her hand.
And you're telling me you don't want this!
Luo Xing finds these bitch tricks of women disgusting.
After some initial hesitation, Zhao Zhu accepted the gift, though she felt a mix of secret delight and trepidation.
Sending such an expensive gift, does it mean he really wants to... confess his feelings?
Before Zhao Zhu could reply, Luo Xing suddenly spoke up: "In that case, it's cold, fairy, please go back. I won't stay any longer."
Then, with a bang, Luo Xing slammed the door shut, leaving Zhao Zhu dazed and trapped outside...
She was stunned...
It wasn't a confession; she didn't even say thank you...
Is this a ploy to lure her in? Or is she simply too excited to resist the elixir she received?
And that's all men are thinking, down there!
The scene of Luo Xing delivering the pills was witnessed by Master Luo inside the house.
"Simp! Simp!!!"
"You unfilial grandson!"
"How could my Luo family have produced such a sycophantic and unfilial grandson!"
As he spoke, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
At the doorway, Luo Xing was clearly incredibly excited!
But it wasn't because of Zhao Zhu, it was because... the system reward arrived!
[Ding! Congratulations, host!]
[System successfully returned: 100 Spirit Gathering Pills!]
