But now it was Chi Yuan's turn to be nervous. He immediately grabbed Shen Yulou's waist to stop him from leaving.

"A strategy system? Your mission is to conquer me?"

"No, I chose the target; the mission was just a side effect."

Shen Yulou patted Chi Yuan's hand, which was resting on his side, to reassure him.

"Really? You're not lying to me."

It feels like Chi Yuan's speech now carries a hint of resentment.

Shen Yulou looked around, covered his mouth with his hand, and pulled him to a corner.

Why would I lie to you? You've gotten so bold as to not believe me?

He put his hands on his hips and pinched Chi Yuan's face.

"If you don't believe me, return all the treasures I gave you!"

Seeing Shen Yulou's arrogant demeanor, Chi Yuan reached out as if to slap his outstretched, smooth hand.

In the end, it landed gently, and I touched it for a long time, feeling sticky and greasy, and even gave it a few kisses.

"No, what's given to me is mine."

"When you want to back out, just think about how much you've given me."

"That way you won't want to back out."

As Chi Yuan spoke, he reached out and pinned Shen Yulou against the wall.

She gazed at him with her affectionate eyes.

Shen Yulou: ...

For a moment, I couldn't tell who was the one with the "love-obsessed" mindset.

"Alright, stop being so lovey-dovey and hurry up and pick out something, or we'll be in a rush later."

He nimbly slipped out from under Chi Yuan's armpit, and Chi Yuan immediately took off chasing after him.

system:……

No, buddy, you're the protagonist of a loser-to-win story.

Hey, the male lead isn't on a couple showing off their love track!

It seems that ever since the host started dating, he has become less enthusiastic about cultivation and completing tasks.

Ah, love makes people numb.

It shook its head sadly, thinking about how to boost its host's enthusiasm for a comeback.

The couple wandered around the market for a while before stopping at a certain stall.

The boss was an old man lying in a rocking chair, a book covering his face, and a palm-leaf fan dangling precariously from his hand.

I don't know if she's asleep or not.

Chi Yuan quickly noticed the seemingly ordinary black box at the old man's feet.

I always felt that there was some unseen thread connecting him to this black box.

“Host, that black box is quite significant.”

The system sounded much more active than usual.

"In ancient times, this plane was filled with countless divine beasts, and cultivators invented many magical artifacts to fight against them."

"This black box is one of them, and it's called the 'Beast Devouring Box'."

"It can absorb the attacks and power of divine beasts to a certain extent and convert them into its own energy for storage."

"When users are in danger, they can also unleash these stored powers to fight back."

"This black box contains several internal flames of the three-legged golden crow. The host can use these internal flames to refine his own unique flame."

nice one.

Chi Yuan was still worried about where to find the Five Elements items, but unexpectedly, they were right in front of him.

"Boss, how much for this black box?"

He shouted loudly, trying to wake the sleeping old man.

The old man was so startled by the voice that he trembled and dropped the book he was holding.

He was still patting his chest, looking at Chi Yuan with lingering fear.

"Young friend, you really scared me to death."

"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush."

Chi Yuan smiled sheepishly and pointed at the black box.

"I want that black box."

The old man looked in the direction Chi Yuan was pointing, a subtle, unusual look flashing in his eyes.

He slowly stood up, stroked his beard, and looked Chi Yuan up and down.

"Young friend, do you know that this black box is no ordinary object?"

The old man's voice was deep and mysterious.

Chi Yuan frowned slightly.

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

"This black box has an extraordinary origin. Although its purpose is unknown, you can tell just by looking at its material."

"This is top-quality sandalwood."
