"Xie Zhou! You don't need to rest, but I do! I haven't been in the sun for three days! I'm practically wilting!"
Xie Zhou felt fine, but Youlan disagreed and started making a scene.
"Alright, alright, rest for a bit, then I'll let you out to bask in the sun!"
Helpless, Xie Zhou had no choice but to stop his physical strength training.
"What do you mean, 'come out and bask in the sun,' Xie Zhou, you..."
"Oh, I was just talking to my spirit beast. I'll continue now! I'm going to try and see if I can climb this waterfall, haha."
After releasing Youlan, Xie Zhou lightly touched the ground with his toes and appeared within the waterfall's range in the next second.
Using her toes for leverage and her fingers for strength, Xie Zhou felt everything went smoothly, except that the waterfall water made it difficult for her to open her eyes. She easily climbed to the middle of the waterfall.
"It seems this isn't such a difficult thing after all."
Xie Zhou grinned and continued climbing. The higher he climbed, the easier it became. He wondered if this was just his imagination.
"Phew! I didn't expect it to be so easy to get up here."
Standing on a small rock at the very top of the waterfall, Xie Zhou stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face.
The moment the mind and body move, all the moisture in the body is evaporated by the spiritual energy.
"Senior brother! I did it!"
Xie Zhou waved to Luo Fantian, who was initially surprised, but then smiled happily.
"Xie Zhou, I didn't expect you to have improved so much. I would have found it easier to climb to the top of this waterfall than you have."
Luo Fantian sighed, a hint of disappointment still lingering in his eyes.
"It's alright, senior brother. If I'm not mistaken, you should have been able to climb to the top of this waterfall two days ago. I'm really happy that you're here with me. Thank you, senior brother."
Xie Zhou was in an exceptionally good mood.
"Finally, I can report to Master on the recent situation. Master is really something, he hasn't sent any news these past few days, and he hasn't even come to see us."
Xie Zhou sighed.
"Perhaps, the Immortal Venerable really does have something else on his mind."
Luo Fantian patted Xie Zhou on the shoulder, telling her not to think about it anymore.
"It sounded like someone was talking bad about me just now? Who dared to do that? Was it you, you little brat?"
As if on cue, Ling Feng appeared beside Xie Zhou and Luo Fantian, dressed in white.
"No, how could I? You are so wise and powerful, with such a majestic presence, how could I speak ill of you?"
Xie Zhou smiled broadly, but quickly explained to Ling Feng.
"oh?"
Lingfeng glanced at Xie Zhou with a suspicious look.
"By the way, Master, the task you assigned has been perfectly completed by Senior Brother Fantian and me!"
Xie Zhou quickly changed the subject.
"Come on, one by one."
Lingfeng didn't say much and went straight to the inspection.
The first one to arrive was naturally Luo Fantian. With his light and agile figure, he reached the top of the waterfall without any effort.
Lingfeng nodded repeatedly after reading it.
Xie Zhou was not to be outdone, his small body constantly weaving through the waterfall. Before Ling Feng could even get ready, Xie Zhou had already reached the top of the waterfall.
"Junior sister, aren't you going a little too fast?"
Luo Fantian thought he had performed well enough, but who knew that Xie Zhou's performance was even more outstanding.
"Excellent! Excellent! As expected of my disciple!"
Lingfeng's furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
"It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching."
Xie Zhou smiled and bowed to Ling Feng.
"Perfected Fusion Realm?"
Lingfeng glanced at Xie Zhou twice, her eyes narrowed, and she looked at Xie Zhou with even more surprise.
"What?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat surprised, and then she sensed the power within her body.
"Fusion Realm! Fusion Realm Perfection! I'm about to break through!"
Xie Zhou herself was somewhat surprised. She had only focused on training her physical abilities and hadn't paid any attention to improving her strength. Unbeknownst to her, she had actually reached the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm!
"You did very well, but be careful not to get arrogant. You still need to work hard. Take a rest tomorrow."
Lingfeng waved his sleeve, his joy and happiness impossible to hide.
"Hehehe, I'm really amazing."
Xie Zhou smiled happily.
"Junior sister, congratulations!"
"Okay, I'm going to go back and get some rest tonight."
Xie Zhou smiled, his eyes narrowed.
After bringing You Ruo back, Xie Zhou was in a very good mood throughout the journey.
"Once I'm strong enough, I'll get you a body so you can play with it like a human."
Xie Zhou excitedly said to You Ruo.
"Ding, the system has awarded you 2000 points, plus an additional random amount. You now have 5000 points."
The system suddenly delivered another piece of good news.
"I've instantly become a little rich woman again."
Good things come in pairs, and Xie Zhou felt that today was her lucky day.
"But I don't think I did anything wrong, so why did the system give me points again?"
Xie Zhou was still somewhat confused.
"The host has performed well, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has successfully hit Luo Fantian's self-esteem, making him doubt his life."
The system stepped forward and offered an explanation.
"This...this is ridiculously high. I never even thought about these things."
Xie Zhou gave a wry smile.
"But it's good, at least I've met my target for bad things this week."
Xie Zhou let out a long sigh of relief.
"Cultivate! Cultivate! I want to cultivate! Cultivation makes me happy!"
Xie Zhou was even happier and determined to break through his awakening as soon as possible.
"The first phase of the mission, trampling on Luo Fantian's true heart, is not yet complete. Host, shouldn't you consider how to win over Luo Fantian?"
The system's cold voice reminded Xie Zhou once again.
"Huh... Are you kidding me? All I want to do right now is focus on my career, and you want me to deceive an innocent young boy's feelings? I won't do it!"
Xie Zhou rolled his eyes so hard they went skyward.
"Disobeying system commands, warning! Warning!"
"No, no, no, stop warning me. I have my reasons for doing this. This kind of thing can't be done in a day or two, so we still need to plan ahead."
Upon hearing the system's warning, Xie Zhou knew that either points would be deducted or points would be erased, which he couldn't accept!
"Tell me your reasoning. If it makes sense, then you won't be considered to have broken the rules."
That despicable system suddenly got smart and realized it needed to use rules to suppress Xie Zhou.
"Okay, let me explain it to you in detail."
Xie Zhou's eyes darted around, thinking to himself that this damned system had actually started using this trick. Xie Zhou was a master at talking nonsense.
