Yu Zhao glanced at Old Ghost, pulling a storage ring off his lifeless finger.

Now that Old Ghost was dead, his storage ring had no owner and was free for the taking.

Yu Zhao infused her divine sense into the ring and found a jade slip emanating a sinister aura. Without hesitation, she crushed it.

As she was about to withdraw her divine sense, something in the corner of the storage space caught her attention—a spherical object as tall as a person.

Her curiosity piqued, and she retrieved it.

This seems like…

Yu Zhao hesitated, unsure of her deduction, and decided to take a closer look.

Yao Wu Ji stepped forward, touched the smooth, dull surface, and then gave it a kick. “Looks like a dead egg.”

But Yu Zhao shook her head.

“It doesn’t seem dead to me. More like it’s in slumber.”

Ever since Yu Zhao awakened the memories tied to the Water Spirit Jade, her cultivation progress had heightened her sensitivity. She could faintly sense a trace of presence hidden deep within the egg.

“I want this egg. The rest of the items in the storage ring—you two can split them. What do you think?”

Yao Wu Ji raised an eyebrow and snapped, “Yu Zhao, what’s the meaning of this? Are you looking down on us? It’s just a half-dead demonic beast egg. Take it if you want. But the rest of the items must be split evenly among the three of us!”

Si Tu Xuan chimed in, “Friend Yu, we travel together because we value camaraderie. There’s no need to be so calculative.”

In the end, under Yao Wu Ji and Si Tu Xuan’s insistence, they all walked away with a small fortune before continuing their journey.

At the Five Elements Dao Sect

Lan Zi Yu opened the door to find Ye Cong Xin’s bright, cheerful face greeting him.

A slight furrow appeared on his brow, quickly masked by a forced smile. “Little Junior Sister.”

Ye Cong Xin pouted playfully. “Second Senior Brother, why do you look so unhappy to see me? Are you annoyed with me?”

Lan Zi Yu denied it flatly. “Of course not.”

In truth, he was a little tired of her.

Little Junior Sister had always been sweet and lively, but lately, she had taken an unusual liking to clinging to him. At first, Lan Zi Yu enjoyed her attention, but over time, he found it increasingly tiresome.

He had subtly tried to steer her focus toward her cultivation, only for her to counter with all sorts of excuses.

Every time he felt overwhelmed, his thoughts drifted to Yu Zhao.

When Yu Zhao had been the Little Junior Sister, she had never forced her way into his life or done things she disliked just to please others.

She may not have been as tender and considerate as Ye Cong Xin, but her independence and obedience had been endearing.

What a pity…

“Second Senior Brother? Second Senior Brother?”

Ye Cong Xin noticed Lan Zi Yu’s dazed expression, and a flicker of resentment crossed her eyes.

Lan Zi Yu was utterly ungrateful!

He clearly liked her but avoided her every time she made her feelings known.

How hypocritical and infuriating.

If that’s how it’s going to be, don’t blame me for taking the unconventional path.

Ye Cong Xin pulled out a small jar of wine, her voice sweet and soft. “Second Senior Brother, I’m feeling down. Will you drink with me?”

Lan Zi Yu hesitated but eventually caved to her pleading eyes.

“Alright.”

Ye Cong Xin’s eyes glimmered, and she chirped, “Second Senior Brother is the best!”

Lan Zi Yu was awakened by the sound of sobbing.

The crying was faint, mournful, and grated on his ears. Annoyed, he wanted to tell the person to stop, but when he tried to speak, his throat felt searing hot, as if it had been burned.

Realizing something was wrong, he forced his eyes open.

Recognizing the familiar furnishings of his room, he exhaled in relief.

But the next moment, he bolted upright in shock.

Why was there a woman crying in his room?

He turned his head stiffly and saw Ye Cong Xin huddled in a corner, crying softly. Her hair was messy, her eyes red, and her lips swollen.

Lan Zi Yu felt as though he’d been struck by lightning.

Why was Little Junior Sister here? What happened last night…?

He closed his eyes and tried to recall. He vaguely remembered drinking under the moonlight with her, getting drunk, and saying many things.

But after that…

Lan Zi Yu opened his eyes in despair.

He couldn’t remember.

Had he lost control and taken advantage of Little Junior Sister in his drunken state?

Frustrated and ashamed, Lan Zi Yu slapped himself hard.

The crisp sound startled Ye Cong Xin, momentarily halting her crying.

Realizing he was awake, she whimpered, “Second… Second Senior Brother… don’t hurt yourself.”

Lan Zi Yu clambered off the bed, falling to his knees before her.

“Little Junior Sister, last night, we…”

Lan Zi Yu clung to a sliver of hope. Maybe nothing had happened.

“Second Senior Brother, you got drunk last night. I helped you back to your room, and then… then…”

Ye Cong Xin burst into tears, looking as though she had been gravely wronged.

Lan Zi Yu’s voice trembled. “Then what?”

“Then… you hugged me… and… and…” She broke into sobs.

The light in Lan Zi Yu’s eyes dimmed.

So, he really had done something unforgivable last night?

His body trembled, his mind in chaos. He was consumed by shame, anger, and fear.

How could he face Little Junior Sister, their master, or their fellow disciples after this?

A mechanical voice rang in Ye Cong Xin’s mind, nearly making her scream aloud.

?Alert! Alert! Target character’s fortune value has plummeted. Signs of suicidal thoughts detected. Please intervene immediately!?

Startled, Ye Cong Xin focused her attention on Lan Zi Yu, who indeed looked like he had lost the will to live.

No! She needed his goodwill and fortune value—not his corpse.

“I thought it was all over, but thankfully, Second Senior Brother stopped before things went too far…”

Lan Zi Yu’s eyes lit up. “Little Junior Sister, you mean we didn’t…?”

Ye Cong Xin nodded tearfully, hiding her disdain.

Lan Zi Yu had been so drunk he could barely move, let alone do anything. She had only wanted to suggest the possibility to manipulate his feelings but had almost miscalculated. Now, she had to adjust her strategy.

Lan Zi Yu collapsed onto the floor, drenched in cold sweat.

His thoughts were a mess—guilt for Little Junior Sister, anger at her for asking him to drink, and a lingering fear of what might have happened.

After a long silence, Lan Zi Yu finally steadied himself.

Looking at Ye Cong Xin, he said hoarsely, “Little Junior Sister, I will take responsibility for this.”

No matter what, the consequences needed to be addressed. As the senior brother, it was his duty to step forward.

Ye Cong Xin hesitated and then asked her system, “Does Lan Zi Yu’s goodwill toward me exceed 90 points yet?”
