Yiting stared blankly at the torn-up contract of indenture, tears blurring her vision. She choked out, "..."
"My benefactor, I... can I really do this?"
"You must believe in yourself; you are no worse than anyone else."
Qin Luo placed his hand in front of her and said with a firm expression.
Yi Ting looked at his outstretched hand and recalled his earlier words.
Yes, why should they be superior to me, while I have to let them bully me? Why should I have to live a subservient life, unable to hold my head high? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled to living like this!
She then wiped away the tears in her eyes, slowly reached out and placed her hand in Qin Luo's, her eyes sparkling with a light she had never seen before.
Qin Luo smiled slightly and held her hand tightly.
"From now on, you don't need to call me your benefactor anymore."
Yi Ting felt the warmth of his palm, and a sense of security welled up from the bottom of her heart. Then, she mustered up her courage, looked at Qin Luo, and softly uttered a "hmm".
But the next moment he asked:
"Then how should I address you, my benefactor?"
Well, Qin Luo thought for a moment, then smiled at her and said, "You can just call me Master. I'll guide you in your cultivation from now on."
Seeing his sunny smile, Yiting seemed to have used up all the courage she had just had to look up at him, and lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and replied with a soft sound.
......
Seeing Yiting already fast asleep in bed, Qin Luo gently covered her with the blanket.
Her previous injuries, coupled with Qin Luo's guidance, allowed her to relax after a long period of tension, and she quickly fell asleep.
Qin Luo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath and used his investment points on Yi Ting.
Instantly, a panel about her appeared in the system.
Name: Yi Ting
Gender: Female
[Realm: None]
[Physique: Flame Rhythm Holy Body (Not Activated)]
[Personality: Cowardly, afraid to make choices]
[Other information is unknown...]
[Start Simulation?: Yes/No]
"As expected, she also has a special physique. No wonder she was chosen by the system."
Qin Luo looked at Yi Ting's Flame Rhyme Holy Body on the panel and said calmly, "I don't know what the function of this physique is. I can only find out after the first return."
With this in mind, Qin Luo's gaze sharpened, and he began the simulation.
[Simulated information entry in progress, simulated female: Yi Ting.]
On the first day, you settled Yiting into the hotel. She obediently nodded and asked if you would visit her often. You patted her head and smiled, saying, "Yes."
On the tenth day, because you often left early and returned late, Xia Zihan became suspicious of you. That morning, she secretly followed you and saw you and Yiting together. She watched the two of you from the shadows, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
A month later, Xia Zihan suddenly tells you that one of her brothers is coming and hopes you can find time to meet her, but you refuse, citing being busy, and then leave the shop.
[Xia Zihan watched your departing figure, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes seeming to have made a firm decision.]
Two months later, you still couldn't find a suitable cultivation method for Yiting, which greatly troubled you.
Yiting reached out to ease your furrowed brow, smiling as she said, "Master, don't worry, take your time, you'll find it eventually."
Little did they know that Xia Zihan was watching all of this from the shadows...
Three months later, on this night, feeling uneasy, you went to a hotel. When you saw the bloodstains in Yiting's room, a sense of unease immediately arose.
[When you enter, you find Xia Zihan holding Yiting's head! A look of sorrow crosses your face as you confront Xia Zihan, demanding to know why she did this.]
[Xia Zihan remained silent, while a giant golden claw appeared above the head of his elder brother behind him, instantly severing your limbs. Then, Xia Zihan held you in his arms and said affectionately, "Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, this way we can be together forever. You are mine, and no one can take you away..."]
Five months later, Xia Zihan took you to an elegant room and placed you there.
Three years later, during these three years, Xia Zihan would visit you every now and then, whispering sweet nothings to you, but then quickly leaving. Moreover, the intervals between her visits were getting longer and longer, and her aura was growing increasingly powerful.
Ten years later, Xia Zihan hadn't visited you for a long time. One day, a distinguished-looking man approached you and said calmly, "Did Xiao Jiu enter that place just for you?"
[As soon as he finished speaking, a golden burst of spiritual energy shattered your head, and you died.]
This simulation has ended and is currently being evaluated...
Overall result: Affection value: 20; Reward: Flame Rhyme Alchemy Technique
[Flame Rhyme Alchemy Technique: This is a cultivation method tailor-made for the Flame Rhyme Sacred Body. It consists of six levels, from the initial ignition of the spiritual flame and the awakening of the spiritual rhyme, to the fusion of flame and rhyme and the unity of the heart and soul, and then to the unparalleled flame rhyme, ultimately achieving the unification of the sacred body and enabling the cultivator to become a master alchemist and refine top-grade pills.]
Please select the reward for this simulation. Rewards can only be applied within the simulation.
[a: 1 point of emotional intelligence; b: 1 point of appearance; c: 1 point of skill; d: 1 point of luck]
"Holy crap, why is Xia Zihan on another channel?"
Qin Luo looked at the simulation with some lingering fear and said that he did not expect Xia Zihan to be so possessive and to make such a choice after seeing him and Yi Ting together.
Furthermore, he discovered that when the simulated woman was Yi Ting, his simulated self would prioritize her, which is why he refused to go with Xia Zihan to see her so-called imperial brother, thus triggering a series of tragic events.
It seems that he was too dull in the simulation. After thinking for a while, Qin Luo chose to use 1 point of emotional intelligence, hoping that it would be useful in the next simulation.
"Master, what's wrong? Why are you sitting here like this?"
Just then, a voice rang out beside Qin Luo. He turned around and saw Yi Ting staring at him with wide eyes.
"I'm fine. I just thought of a cultivation technique that would be suitable for you."
Qin Luo smiled slightly, and then a jade tube of emerald green appeared in his hand.
As soon as the jade tube was taken out, it transformed into a beam of jade light and surged into Yiting's mind, with obscure Daoist symbols being imprinted in her sea of consciousness.
And wisps of spiritual energy slowly began to appear around her.
[Yi Ting has entered the Spiritual Awareness Realm. Based on her current affection level for the host: 20 (initial feelings); therefore, this return reward will be randomly distributed between 21 and 105 times the original value.]
[Cultivation points are doubled, with a multiplier of 70, granting seventy times the cultivation level of the first stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm]
[Acquired Yi Ting's physique: Flame Rhythm Sacred Body]
[Obtained Yi Ting's cultivation technique: Flame Rhyme Alchemy Technique]
