“Hahahaha, Qiao Xiaoxian! You never imagined you’d have this day, did you?!”
Jiang Ke’er pulled her sword from Qiao Xiaoxian’s chest, the long blade bringing with it a spray of blood.
Watching Qiao Xiaoxian’s complex expression of regret, unwillingness, and shock, Jiang Ke’er threw her head back and laughed wildly.
With a swift swing of her sword, she severed Qiao Xiaoxian’s head, giving the other party no chance to recover, directly finishing her off and ensuring she was thoroughly dead.
“Thank you for your past care, but what I owed you, I have now repaid. Your vendetta with the Jie Xian Hall, I, Jiang Ke’er, will avenge for you! Rest in peace…”
Jiang Ke’er gracefully waved her hand, unleashing a burst of flames that incinerated Qiao Xiaoxian’s body into ashes.
“Hehehe… Hehehehe…”
Jiang Ke’er was still giggling foolishly when she suddenly felt a sensation of weightlessness around her, and the scene before her eyes changed.
Mm, so soft, so comfortable.
She comfortably rubbed her head against the pillow, gradually opened her eyes, and slowly woke up.
“?”
Only then did she realize she was leaning against Qiao Xiaoxian’s chest, and her face was wet, her drool having flowed everywhere without her knowing.
“Slurp!”
A wave of shame, like a tingling electric current, crawled to the tip of her tail.
She instantly sobered up, frantically struggling out of Qiao Xiaoxian’s embrace as if fleeing, and wiped away the drool from her daydream.
“Looks like you had a good dream,” Qiao Xiaoxian said teasingly, looking at Jiang Ke’er.
“Did I… did I say anything strange just now?” Jiang Ke’er asked, collapsing.
“No.”
“Phew…” Jiang Ke’er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“‘Hahahaha, Qiao Xiaoxian! You never imagined you’d have this day, did you!'” Qiao Xiaoxian suddenly spoke, perfectly reciting Jiang Ke’er’s tone from the dream.
[Received 1000 ‘Righteousness Points’ from Qiao Xiaoxian.]
Jiang Ke’er instantly flushed crimson, her hair standing on end, enraged and embarrassed: “Shut up!!!”
“‘Hehehe… Hehehehe…'” Qiao Xiaoxian narrowed her eyes, imitating Jiang Ke’er’s foolish giggling from when she was half-asleep.
[Received 1000 ‘Righteousness Points’ from Qiao Xiaoxian.]
“I said shut up, ahhh!!!”
Jiang Ke’er was frantic, wishing she could jump into the sea.
Her composure was shattered, shattered again, completely shattered.
It was over, her dignified image was completely ruined.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore,” Qiao Xiaoxian covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.
However, the constantly popping up ‘Righteousness Points’ notification box in front of Jiang Ke’er exposed Qiao Xiaoxian’s true feelings at the moment.
“It’s fine to occasionally indulge in some unattainable fantasies… it’s quite cute.”
“Cute your sister! I’ll kill you!”
“Mm-hmm~”
Having fully enjoyed Jiang Ke’er’s embarrassed and annoyed appearance, the satisfied Qiao Xiaoxian turned around and began to change her clothes.
Wow, such a white back… Ah, no! What am I thinking?!
Jiang Ke’er cursed herself silently, pulled out her long sword, and swung it forcefully to vent her terrible mood.
Looking at the ‘Righteousness (Joy) Points’ acquisition notifications that still floated by occasionally, Jiang Ke’er grew angrier the more she thought about it.
It wasn’t anger towards Qiao Xiaoxian, but anger towards herself… Why on earth did she have to talk in her sleep?
“Sigh…”
Jiang Ke’er stopped dwelling on those embarrassing matters, closed her eyes, and opened her system space.
Because she had advanced to the Two Instruments Realm last night, the items in the system shop had refreshed, becoming Level 2 shop items.
First, the dregs from the Righteousness Shop had transformed into proper finished elixirs and books.
One Hemostasis Pill, one Bigu Pill, and one “Book of Super Alluring Bones.”
The functions of the first two were self-explanatory, literal meanings.
As for the “Book of Super Alluring Bones,” it could instantly increase the quality of alluring bones by 50 points.
Since advancing to the Two Instruments Realm, Jiang Ke’er could now appraise herself and see some of her attribute values.
Her alluring bone level was 9, displayed as Max, already reaching the pinnacle of the Divine Continent naturally.
However, beyond this alluring bone level, there were additional quality value bonuses that could break through the limit.
A Level 9 alluring bone possessed a total quality value of 900.
After she used all of her “Books of Alluring Bones” and “Books of Super Alluring Bones,” her quality value had additionally increased by a full 120 points, reaching 1020 quality.
This meant that her current alluring bone quality had even surpassed the peak of the Divine Continent!
Because of this, her cultivation speed was incredibly fast, her appearance greatly improved, and her demeanor was enchanting to the bone.
Similarly, she could now see her spiritual root quality.
However, her spiritual root quality level was low, only Level 3.
The maximum level for spiritual root quality was also Level 9.
Talent picked from one in a hundred was roughly Level 3, genius picked from one in ten thousand was Level 5, super genius picked from one in one hundred thousand was roughly Level 6, and a Level 7 might be born among one hundred million people, which was basically the limit for naturally endowed spiritual roots.
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Ke’er secretly appraised Qiao Xiaoxian.
[Qiao Xiaoxian]
[Dragon Clan Saintess]
[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Three Talents Realm]
[Spiritual Root Attribute: All]
[Spiritual Root Quality: Level 9 (Max) (Additional +709) (Total 1609)]
“…”
All spiritual roots, without a system, her spiritual root quality was as high as 1609, easily surpassing the Divine Continent’s limit by nearly double.
Why don’t you just ascend to the heavens already?
Is this person the Son of the Plane? Or the protagonist of some Dragon King novel?
Only the cultivation speed of the Cauldron Cultivation Method was boosted by alluring bone quality; the cultivation speed of other methods and the power of spells depended on spiritual root quality.
And Qiao Xiaoxian’s quality…
Jiang Ke’er felt a pang of toothache; how long would it take her to catch up?!
However, just as Jiang Ke’er was feeling distressed, she personally saw the spiritual root value on Qiao Xiaoxian’s appraisal panel jump.
It became 1610.
“…”
Natural growth?
This cheat is too much!
Even worse, Jiang Ke’er remembered that if she used a Book of Spiritual Roots, Qiao Xiaoxian, due to their Cauldron Contract, would also gain the effects of the Book of Spiritual Roots.
This meant that in terms of spiritual roots, she could absolutely never catch up to Qiao Xiaoxian.
The harder she tried, the thicker and larger Qiao Xiaoxian’s spiritual root would become, and the more she wouldn’t be able to handle it during dual cultivation.
Indeed, it would be better to just jump into the sea.
