Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

"Attracting bees and butterflies, it falls."

Judging from the name, it doesn't seem like a proper item.

But when Ji Nanbei got his hands on it, he didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, he felt the surrounding spiritual energy spontaneously surging towards him.

Just like ordinary cultivation artifacts, it can automatically gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for its master to absorb.

"Huh? Has this broken system changed its nature? This time it's giving me a proper magic weapon?"

Ji Nanbei was puzzled.

He gently shook the jade pendant in his hand, and saw the jade butterfly swaying gracefully inside the ring. The workmanship was indeed exquisite and very beautiful.

I'll trust you this once.

Ji Nanbei casually tied the jade pendant to his waist.

These kinds of magical artifacts that aid in cultivation must be worn close to the body in order to draw in the surrounding spiritual energy and accelerate cultivation.

Wearing a black short-sleeved outer robe and adorned with an exquisite jade pendant, Ji Nanbei truly exuded the air of a young master from a noble family.

In addition, his skin had been cleansed and purified to remove impurities, making it even more radiant and translucent.

His looks, which were already considered "heartthrobs and friends of young women," have now reached an even higher level, perfectly embodying the term "pretty boy."

Looking at his reflection in the lake, Ji Nanbei nodded.

"Hmm, you are indeed quite handsome, sir."

Just then, the faint sound of water came from afar.

Ji Nanbei's expression immediately became subtle.

This……

Could it be...

Is this the legendary perk segment?

[Task triggered. Please choose one of the following options to execute.]

Option 1: "Let me see! Let me see if you're developing normally!" Step forward to examine you and give your evaluation. (Reward: 500,000 Magic Points, Grade 5 Spiritual Treasure Moon-Shattering Hammer.)

Option Two: "Just listening to the sound of water is enough to make me want to eat three bowls of rice!" (Stay put and listen, thoroughly enjoying yourself.) (Reward: 300,000 Magic Points, Grade 4 Spiritual Treasure: The Undying Grip.)

Option 3: "Do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper." Wait quietly where you are. (Reward: 3,000 Magic Points, one random Rank 3 talisman.)

Ji Nanbei felt like cursing.

Since the system task has already popped up, the sound of water in the distance can only mean that someone is taking a bath.

Moreover, based on the system's predictions, there's a 90% chance that the person taking a bath is a girl.

However, on this mountain where the Demon Sect of Happy Forest was stationed, besides his wicked senior sister, there was only his master, who was in seclusion all day long and never let go of his wine gourd.

Ji Nanbei guessed that the person taking a bath over there was probably his senior sister.

Given her cultivation level and temperament, if I were to get close, even if I hid myself well, I would most likely be discovered.

What's more, they have to criticize it to your face?

Even if the senior sister doesn't take his life, she'll at least end up with hemiplegia and lifelong paralysis.

In other words, he will probably have to give up three-quarters of his body control here.

So Ji Nanbei obediently took a few steps forward, stopped at a distance, and waited silently.

The sound of water gradually subsided, followed by the rustling of fabric.

Uh……

Something feels off.

Then, light footsteps approached from afar.

Not long after, Ji Nanbei saw the person who had come.

To his surprise, it wasn't his senior sister, but his master, whom he had only met once before.

She was a girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long, silvery-white hair that cascaded down her back, reaching past her thighs.

A loose, dark robe couldn't conceal her slender figure.

Its appearance was so exquisite that it seemed almost ethereal, as if it shouldn't exist in this world.

This is a face that can rival Xiao Jingxi's.

Her temperament is even more ethereal, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs, like a fairy banished from the heavens.

This was, after all, a woman whose beauty alone had made Ji Nanbei momentarily lose his composure—not that Ji Nanbei lacked self-control, but simply that her appearance was too outstanding.

She was Ji Nanbei's master, and also the one who brought him back to the Happy Forest Demon Sect.

and many more……

Fifteen or sixteen years old?

Ji Nanbei suddenly realized something was wrong.

He vaguely remembered that when he first met his master, she looked to be around twenty years old and was a mature beauty.

How did you turn into a teenage girl?

The silver-haired girl was also taken aback when she saw Ji Nanbei, seemingly not expecting to meet him here.

The master and apprentice looked at each other in bewilderment, and it was Ji Nanbei who came to his senses first.

"Master."

Ji Nanbei bowed respectfully, displaying impeccable manners.

This respect he showed was genuine.

Although her master was an alcoholic, disappeared, and gave up, she was ultimately the benefactor who pulled her back from the brink of death.

Ji Nanbei has never forgotten this.

"There's no need for that. I only brought you back to the sect, but I haven't taught you anything. I'm not a qualified master, so you don't need to be so formal."

The silver-haired girl waved her hand gently.

"I will never forget the Master's life-saving grace."

Ji Nanbei remained as well-behaved as ever.

Seeing his reaction, the silver-haired girl shook her head.

"Very well, now that I've brought you back, I should have taught you properly; it was my oversight. Your current cultivation level..."

She didn't finish her sentence, "What is your current cultivation level?"

Because she had already seen it.

At the peak of Qi Refining, with a solid foundation and a strong physique.

The silver-haired girl remembered that when she brought Ji Nanbei back, the child was on the verge of death, emaciated, and had almost exhausted his qi and blood, let alone his cultivation.

At the time, her assessment was that it was already a miracle that the child had survived.

In just two or three months, with such a foundation, if one can draw qi into the body, it is considered a sign of extraordinary comprehension.

But now...

"Master, I don't think I've let you down, have I?"

Ji Nanbei smiled.

The silver-haired girl gave a wry smile.

"It is I who have held you back. If you could have joined a righteous immortal sect and received careful guidance, your future achievements would have been limitless. It's just a pity..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

Ji Nanbei realized that his master seemed to have other secrets.

"Master, is there some difficulty you are facing?"

The girl shook her head.

Then, she took two steps forward, as if she wanted to say something to Ji Nanbei.

Before he could speak, his gaze was drawn to the pendant on Ji Nanbei's waist.

The jade pendant seemed to possess some peculiar pull, subtly stirring the emotions of those around it.

"you……"

The silver-haired girl raised her head and pointed at Ji Nanbei, wanting to ask a question. However, the moment her eyes met Ji Nanbei's, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Ji Nanbei was completely unaware that the "Bee-Attracting Pendant" on his body was subtly influencing his master's mind.

This jade pendant is indeed a cultivation artifact, capable of gathering spiritual energy from heaven and earth, but it also has some other effects—that is, it attracts the attention of the opposite sex in the vicinity, causing their minds to unconsciously turn to the wearer.

As a third-grade mortal treasure, although the pendant's effects are mysterious, it is ultimately only an auxiliary tool.

The most crucial element is probably Ji Nanbei's incredibly charming face and his innate "ethereal" talent.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl realized that something was wrong with her.

however……

Ji Nanbei just felt something was strange!

Especially the way his master looked at him, it was as if he wanted to devour him!

Ji Nanbei: "???"

What are you trying to do?!

Master, please don't do this!
