Hosting System: "Friendly reminder: Once the new system is activated, points will be deducted if the host deviates from their established persona."

Bi Xie paused, and the bamboo shoots in his mouth suddenly lost their flavor: "What did you say? There's such a setting? My current points and assets are still negative, okay?"

What happens if you accumulate too many negative points?

If the little system dared to say it would just wipe her out, she would definitely... silently curse the ghost cultivator Zhan Bingjiu to be a lonely bachelor for life! He'd eat instant noodles without the seasoning packet and get struck by lightning during his tribulation!

After a while, the hosting system's mesmerizing giggles echoed in my ears: "Guess what, host~"

Bi Xie thought to himself, "What a jerk!"

In reality, she gritted her teeth and smiled brightly: "You naughty and cute little system, stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me whether you're alive or dead. Anyway, my score is already negative 100."

There's a saying: "A dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water."

The hosting system said: "Master is so stupid. Points can be exchanged for the villain's favorability, so points can be reduced, which means losing the villain's favorability."

"You should have said so earlier, you scared me half to death," Bi Xie breathed a sigh of relief, untied the villain from his waistband, and said nonchalantly, "Losing favorability isn't like losing your head, don't panic."

Hosting system: "Hehehehehehehehe~"

Bi Xie's smile froze, and he narrowed his eyes: "Why do I feel like your smile is malicious? Is there something you haven't told me yet! You mischievous little system."

Hosting System: "I'm off, I need to sleep now. Please take good care of the villain, host."

"Eh~" Bi Xie called out, and the signal in his mind snapped shut.

Bi Xie muttered "a little system with ill intentions," then glanced at his little black sesame disciple at the door, who was soaking wet.

"Master," the little disciple called out wearily, his eyes shining, his voice trembling with excitement, "Master, Zhu'er has broken through! He's now at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage!"

From the tenth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, some cultivators spend their entire lives without ever breaking through.

Bi Xie was stunned for a moment, then clicked his tongue a few times in his heart. As expected of a genius built up with heaven and earth treasures and elixirs, he didn't know how many pills he had taken, but he actually jumped to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in just over ten days.

She remembered that it took the original owner about half a year to go from the tenth level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

"Tsk tsk~"

Hosting System: "What kind of expression is that, Host? Points deduction warning!"

Bi Xie: "Holy crap, weren't you sleeping? What's wrong with my expression?"

The hosting system: "Activate the alarm. If the host deviates from their persona, it will automatically remind the host, deducting points while you sleep~"

Bi Xie chuckled inwardly, a gentle look appearing on his usually cold face. His tone remained cold, but his eyes held a hint of warmth and appreciation. "You've made great progress. Go change your clothes and come eat."

Wen Zhu glanced timidly at Bi Xie, a hint of surprise flashing in her glassy eyes.

Hosting System: "Ding! The host has violated the original owner's personality settings, 10 points have been deducted, now negative 110 points."

Bi Xie's lips twitched.

Damn it, she forgot this is a world of cultivation again.

As she slowly walked over, a glint of light flickered at her fingertips. In the blink of an eye, Wen Zhu's clothes seemed to have been dried by fire, with wisps of white mist rising up. A moment later, her clothes were clean and fresh again.

"Thank you, Master," the little apprentice, Black Sesame, said, his lips practically curling up to his ears.

They're quite easy to coax.
